Bab 278: Chapter 278 A Farce to Buy a Shop (7)_1

Having set her mind on buying the Zhang Family Shop, Mo Yan had to keep an eye on the Zhang family's movements. However, it was impossible for her to go into town every day or to watch them personally, so she had to find someone to assist her.

Thus, she went to the Huixian Residence and found Xiao Zhu, hoping he could find someone reliable to keep tabs on this matter.

The task wasn't a difficult one, and upon hearing the request, Xiao Zhu immediately agreed.

Mo Yan quickly thanked him and took out ten taels of silver from her purse to give to him. Five taels were to thank Xiao Zhu for his help, and the other five were for him to pass on to the person assisting them. She stated that an additional five taels would be given once the matter was concluded.

This favor was but a trifle, yet Xiao Zhu refused to accept the five taels meant for him. In the end, only after Mo Yan feigned anger and said she would find someone else if he didn't accept the silver did he reluctantly take it.
