Zhuang Zhuang is now on edge, his father's scolding not bothering him in the slightest. Right now, his sharp eyes are fixed on Mo Jun Yi, a sneer playing at the corner of his mouth:

"But did you look closely? Is there anything missing?"

As soon as he spoke, Mo Junyi came to his senses, clutching the military talisman tightly in his hand. He knew his actions had led Zhuangzhuang to misunderstand him, so he slowly raised his head and looked at Zhuangzhuang, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to doubt you."

"Heh," Zhuangzhuang sneered, "Whether or not it's true, we have our eyes to see. Whatever excuses you make now are useless."

Mo Junyi was not someone who would apologize to others. This time, he hesitated and glanced at Zhuangzhuang before finally saying, "Whether you believe it or not, I really didn't mean it."

He had only been thinking about keeping the military talisman safe, but he hadn't suspected this family of taking his things.

He just doesn't know how to explain it yet, and they certainly can't understand the true impact of what he's looking for.

Mo Junyi's "love it or leave it" attitude only made Zhuangzhuang even more resentful. He rolled his eyes, thinking of continuing to criticize, but his father glared over, "Zhuangzhuang, don't be so unreasonable."

“...”

Zhu Zhu's heart was filled with grievance. How could he be the unreasonable one? He hadn't done anything unreasonable at all.

Mo Junyi glanced gratefully at the man, then seemed to remember something. He looked thoughtfully up and down Zhuangzhuang's height and build, then took out the set of clothes from his package and handed it to him. However, as he was about to speak, he changed his mind at the last moment:

"You... if you don't mind, you can take this set of clothes to exchange for silver, to buy some rice and flour for Niuniu. Right now, I only have this set of clothes that I can sell for some silver. Your life-saving grace, I will definitely repay tenfold in the future."

At first, he wanted to say that this set of clothes had only been worn once and was now washed clean. If Zhuangzhuang didn't mind, he could take it and wear it.

Because he saw that Zhuangzhuang's clothes were now too small, with the sleeves and pants all torn off, so he instinctively wanted to say he would patch up this set of clothes for him.

He could say it, but then he stopped himself. This set of clothes was his own, and if he said he would give it to him directly, he was afraid that Zhuangzhuang would feel insulted. Giving someone your own used clothes felt like an insult.

Plus, he recalled that Zhuangzhuang's family was just a humble farming household. A child Zhuangzhuang's age would already be working every day. Even if Zhuangzhuang accepted these clothes, he probably wouldn't dare to wear them when going up the mountain to forage for wild plants and hunt.

So the best excuse he could come up with was to have it sold. The clothes, though worn, were now spotless after being washed and looked almost new.

With this kind of material, it's sure to fetch a good price.

After Mo Junyi spoke, Zhuangzhuang originally intended to retort a couple of sentences, but after realizing what he had actually said, she was stunned for a moment, and then quickly snatched the clothes from Mo Junyi's hand, afraid that if she was even a step late, the person on the bed would change their mind.

Holding the exquisite garments tightly in his arms, he looked uncertainly at Mo Junyi, "This... this outfit is truly alright for me to take and sell?"

Mo Jun Yi let out a light chuckle and nodded slightly, "Yes, it is true."

"You... you can't back out, I... I'm taking it to sell right now."

He had barely finished speaking when he dashed out, his father too slow to stop him.
