Chapter 1203: Chapter 123: Balancing Chapter 1203: Chapter 123: Balancing Su Ningxiu was extremely perceptive,
even more so than Wang Meng at reading people’s expressions.

“Husband, don’t interrupt, let’s first listen to what my younger sister and brother-in-law have to say?” When Su Yunjin and Gu Ya said this, Su Ningxiu was certain the couple had thought of a way to deal with Old Master Wu.

Both the brother-in-law and younger sister were smart, they wouldn’t speak like this if they hadn’t thought of a plan. Although Wang Meng was impetuous, he showed a lot of patience with his little wife.

He was able to take in everything his little wife said. After Su Ningxiu finished speaking, Wang Meng also looked at Gu Ya and Su Yunjin, ready to hear their explanation.

With her sister and brother-in-law attention on them, Su Yunjin did not explain as Su Ningxiu had hoped to her and her brother-in-law, but smiled mischievously instead.

She implied something deeper.

“Second sister, brother-in-law, today Old Master Wu went to the rice shop to threaten both of you. As the saying goes, one good turn deserves another, we naturally have to take the initiative to visit him.”

Wang Meng’s eyes widened.

Surprised, “Younger sister, are you suggesting that our brother-in-law go threaten Old Master Wu?” But could a person like Old Master Wu really be threatened by our brother-in-law?

Wang Meng felt this was unlikely.

Su Ningxiu also didn’t quite understand Su Yunjin’s meaning. Old Master Wu would do anything for his son, wouldn’t he? He came to their rice shop today fully prepared.

Even if the brother-in-law went to the Wu Residence,
it probably wouldn’t be easy to threaten Old Master Wu.

Both Wang Meng and Su Ningxiu were somewhat puzzled. Su Yunjin didn’t provide a lengthy explanation, “Second sister, brother-in-law, you don’t have to worry about this matter, just leave it to my husband to handle it. If we can’t threaten that Old Master Wu, we’ll use another method.” She spoke as if it was simple, but Su Yunjin felt that Gu Ya would be able to perfectly resolve the matter when he approached Old Master Wu tomorrow.

A person like Old Master Wu, with great wealth and business, feared getting into trouble the most. His son’s offense wasn’t punishable by death, and he would be released from prison after a while.

Old Master Wu wouldn’t really pursue a scorched-earth policy against her second sister and the rest. Tomorrow, having Gu Ya threaten him a little and then pointing out the pros and cons, Old Master Wu, being a smart man,
would know what to do!

However, as the saying goes, it’s better to be prepared for anything, in case Old Master Wu turns out to be stubborn and unapproachable, it’s essential to be fully prepared.

And not to fear him.

First a courteous approach, then recourse to force if necessary. Tomorrow Gu Ya would first confront Old Master Wu with a threat and if that didn’t work, resort to action immediately and hire people to surround Wangji Rice Shop in advance.

When Old Master Wu’s men come, the ones they’ll have hired will stand firm, so there’s no need to fear. As for hiring the men, that task fell to Wang Meng to arrange for tomorrow. Gu Ya, on the other hand, would go to the Wu Residence first.

Wang Meng was eager to take action; when Gu Ya suggested hiring help, Wang Meng agreed without a second word and even proposed hiring extra people just in case.

Gu Ya directed Wang Meng to find people at the armed escort agency, whose members were all skilled fighters, each capable of taking on multiple foes. The previous few times Gu Ya needed help, he had turned to the armed escort agency.

Wang Meng took note, agreeing to hire help from the town’s agency first thing in the morning. Yesterday Old Master Wu had threatened Wang Meng, vowing to not only burn down his shop but also his house in the village.

In addition to arranging guards around the town shop, it was prudent to guard their village home as well. Otherwise, if the ruthless Old Master Wu really ordered their house to be set on fire, at least they would be prepared. They wouldn’t allow their house to be burned down by Old Master Wu’s men.
