Chapter 642: Chapter 643 - Do you want peanuts?_1

"Wenxuan, what brings you here?" asked Nan Feng.

Mo Wenxuan still had that faint smile on his face, but his eyes had become much more serious: "The Provincial City has been restless recently, and I was concerned about your well-being, so I came to check on you."

"I’m fine," Nan Feng replied with a light laugh: "Don’t worry, nothing bad has happened to me."

"On my way here," Mo Wenxuan continued, "I couldn’t help but notice how desolate the streets were. So be careful when you go out."

"Don’t worry, I’m not afraid. I’ve walked through remote mountain trails before, so the streets of the Provincial City don’t scare me."

Speaking about the mountains near Daping Village reminded Nan Feng of the peanuts in her shop. She turned to Mo Wenxuan and said, "Wait a moment, I have something for you."

Mo Wenxuan’s eyes lit up: "Oh, what is it?"

Instead of answering him, Nan Feng just stepped into the corner of her shop and fetched the half bag of peanuts. She then handed it over to Mo Wenxuan: "These peanuts are from Daping Village. They’re very tasty. You scholars use your brains a lot, so eating more peanuts will be nutritious for you."

Mo Wenxuan was extremely grateful: "It’s really thoughtful of you to bring me some peanuts."

"Originally, these were for Sima Guangguang. But he said their academy doesn’t allow peanuts, so he declined and returned them to me. Are there any such restrictions in your academy?"

"Their academy doesn’t allow peanuts?" Mo Wenxuan thought for a moment: "I’ve given lectures there a few days ago, and there’s also a student who transferred from Sima Guangguang’s place to ours, but I have not heard such a rule."

So Sima Guangguang is too timid to eat peanuts in the academy, concluded Nan Feng.

"Anyway, since he’s not eating, and we can’t finish them all, you can take them with you."

Mo Wenxuan politely declined: "Eating peanuts is time-consuming as you have to peel the shells and eat them only when you are free. Why not keep them here? You can use them to make a nourishing bone soup."

Nan Feng shook her head, and pushed the peanuts closer to Mo Wenxuan: "Never mind. A young girl in our shop ate some peanuts, and then drank some cold well water, causing her to suffer from diarrhea for three days. Everyone is now too scared to eat them..."

After saying this, Nan Feng instantly regretted sharing such an incident, wouldn’t this make Mo Wenxuan even less willing to take the peanuts?

Nan Feng looked at Mo Wenxuan, only to find him unconcerned. He simply said, "Okay, I’ll take them then."

Then Mo Wenxuan turned to Nan Feng and asked, "You seem a bit groggy. Have you been sleeping in the shop lately? Where’s Uncle Ye?"

"Him? He went out to help me manage a branch store," said Nan Feng nonchalantly.

"He’s managing a branch store? Isn’t he a guard anymore?"

"Being a guard pays little more than a tael a month, besides it’s dangerous. I figured it’s better if he quit and came back to do business with me," Nan Feng lied.

Mo Wenxuan was slightly surprised. Although being a guard was not a high-ranking official role, at this time, businessmen had no status. Despite the low salary, a guard was an official after all, someone who demanded respect from others. Now he had decided to engage in business, actually trailing behind his wife, wasn’t it rather unambitious?

Living off his wife?

What was he thinking? Could all his martial arts be wasted for nothing?

Nan Feng knew exactly what Mo Wenxuan would think of Uncle Ye, so she didn’t bother to explain further. Instead, she simply yawned and said, "I just woke up and I’m still pretty drowsy. I think I’ll go back to sleep a bit longer."
