I sold grilled fish in the 70s!

Chapter 87 The origin of Heirentang

Meow! Meow! Meow!

A few meows echoed through the quiet hall. Zhuzhu was enjoying the steamed buns she had made herself. Upon hearing Xiao Furong's meow, she put down her buns and looked down at them.

A tiny kitten was pacing back and forth beside Mu Wang's lap, its tail wagging, occasionally arching its back and rubbing against his thigh. It seemed to be saying, "Uncle, if you don't hold me, I'll keep rubbing against your thigh."

Strange! This adorable little kitten usually loves to stick close to my uncle, so why is it clinging to my dad all day?

Hehe! It must be that our little uncle did something to hurt Xiao Furong! So our little Furong doesn't want her little uncle anymore! After saying this, Jianmei took a small meat bun from the plate and stuffed it into her mouth.

Zhu Zhu, meanwhile, was holding a small steamed bun, staring at it absentmindedly. She had been transported from the modern era to the 70s for over a month.

In the past month or so, many things have happened that didn't happen in the previous life. For example, Uncle Mu Long, who is very powerful, and the white wolf that Dad keeps as a pet did not exist in the previous life.

There's also the Black Hall that terrifies me, even though my father has explained to us repeatedly that the Black Hall is a gang full of justice.

But I always felt uneasy! In my previous life, I saw in TV dramas that bad things always happened between the underworld and the legitimate world!

I'm terrified that one day those terrible things might happen to my father and Yiyao. So how can I protect them?

I've finally reunited with Yiyao and Jianmei! I can no longer bear the pain of losing Yiyao and Jianmei again.

Thinking of this, Zhuzhu couldn't help but shed tears again. She raised her little head, looked around, and quickly wiped the tears off her face.

Yuqin still witnessed this scene. Originally, Yuqin wanted to put down her breakfast and hug Zhuzhu to comfort her. However, she was afraid that others would ask questions and make Zhuzhu very embarrassed, so she gave up the idea.

What exactly happened? I guess I'll have to find some time to ask Xiaodu about it!

Thinking of this, Zhuzhu tore the small pieces off the steamed bun in her hand and stuffed them into her mouth one by one.

Sitting to the side, Mu Wang had already noticed Zhu Zhu's worries, so he spoke up, "I wonder how the harvest is this year? We don't even have enough food for the brothers of Hei Rentang."

At this moment, Yuqin, who was sitting next to Muwang, suddenly spoke up, "Back then, your grandfather took in a group of refugees out of great kindness—only ten people. Unexpectedly, in the following years, a large number of refugees were continuously taken in by your grandfather into the Heirentang. To date, our Heirentang has more than 200 brothers and sisters."

In order to support the people in Heirentang, your grandfather would buy large quantities of rice from the local people every autumn when the rice ripened.

Upon hearing this, Zhuzhu suddenly realized that her great-grandfather had founded Hei Rentang to save refugees from disasters! But why did she feel afraid when she heard the name?

I always thought that this Black Rentang was a sect that made a living by robbing and stealing other people's money.

Haha! Most people's first reaction upon hearing the name Heirentang is the same as yours: they think Heirentang is a criminal organization.

They only grasped the word "black" to understand our Heirentang, but missed the second word, "benevolence." If we understand Heirentang solely from the perspective of "benevolence," we'll know we are a righteous organization.

Heirentang? Heirentang? Heirentang? Father, don't you think this name is strange? Who came up with this name in the first place?

Of course, it was your great-grandfather who named him! Who else could it be? Zhuzhu! When your father was your age, he also asked your great-grandfather this question.

Haha! So I really am Daddy's biological daughter? We even asked the exact same questions! Daddy, please tell me! What did my great-grandfather say back then?

Mu Wang got impatient with the little kitten next to him, so he picked up Xiao Furong from the floor and put her on his lap.

Because the villagers who joined Heirentang at that time were all vulnerable groups who needed protection. There were many bandits at that time, and your great-grandfather and grandfather alone could not protect the safety of more than a hundred people.

So your great-grandfather wanted to give our sect a name that could appease people, so he named our sect Hei Ren Tang (Black Benevolent Hall).

Oh! I see! But Father, don't you think it's a little inappropriate for us to keep providing food to the people at Hei Ren Tang?

I have considered this problem before! After all, the resources in our Yang family are limited! Sooner or later, we will not be able to afford to feed and house the 200 people in Heirentang.

Father, have you ever thought about disbanding the Hei Ren Tang team? Or having the uncles and aunts in Hei Ren Tang go out to work and earn money to support themselves? That would alleviate the financial pressure on Hei Ren Tang.

After hearing Zhuzhu's words, Mu Wang nodded to her with satisfaction. Just as he was about to say something, he was ruthlessly interrupted by a voice.

The people in Heirentang have long been spoiled and lazy by their fathers and grandfathers! Think about it, if someone were to pamper you and provide for you every day, would you still want to go out and work to earn money?

Upon hearing this, Zhuzhu immediately turned to look at the restaurant entrance, where she saw Mulong standing there holding a little girl. Zhuzhu felt that the little girl's back looked very familiar, but she couldn't quite place her.

Mu Long, what's wrong with you? We were almost finished with breakfast, why are you only showing up now?

Long'er, who is that little girl you're holding? We've only been apart for an hour! Why are you carrying a little girl home?

Mu Long turned to look at his elder brother, Mu Wang, who was busy comforting the kitten in his arms. Mu Long immediately felt a mischievous urge to play a trick on him.

Come, come! Little sister, shall I introduce you? Sitting in front of us is our family's Empress Dowager! Everyone in our family has to listen to her!

After hearing Mu Long say this, Bingying turned her little head to face everyone.

She saw her biological father and mother standing before her, dressed in beautiful clothes. For some reason, tears welled up in Bingying's eyes and fell uncontrollably.
