Song Jinggong was an orphan. Years ago, there was an epidemic and everyone in the village died, leaving only him, who was ten years old. He begged for food and was looked down upon by others. He accepted it. After all, others looked down on beggars like him. The only thing he couldn't accept was that some people beat and scolded him, scolded his parents, and beat him black and blue.
There were several times when he thought he was going to die, but it seemed that God didn't want him to die just like that. He always survived at the last moment. Until now, he still remembered that there was a boss in Zhuangzi who had nothing to do and sent his dog to bite him. That big Zhuangzi didn't even give him a bite of food. He didn't even enter the yard, so why did he send the dog to bite him?
From then on, he swore that he would definitely get his revenge. First, he eavesdropped outside some of the schools built by the rich. Later, he found that it was better not to learn those kinds of knowledge. When he was fifteen, he finally earned some money by working for others. Before he could have a good meal, he met an old man who was about to die from illness.
After some hard work, he found that the old man knew a lot of things. Finally, there was someone who could teach him. When he was twenty, the old man died. From then on, he made up his mind to use what he had learned to take revenge on those rich people. Ten years later, he cheated many people, but also helped many others.
This time, he set his target on Ge Zhuang. He thought that he could trick them, but they ignored him. Just when he was sulking, he heard someone say that there were two more Zhuangzi across the bridge. Now, he was tempted again. He slowly walked toward the Wang family's Zhuangzi and Zhangjia Zhuangzi.

"Cherries, don't worry if you don't understand. My plan is too long, so you can take it one step at a time. Let's go, take me to other places." When Zhang Xiaobao was trying his best to train Cherries, he saw the confused look on her face. He realized that he was too anxious. He was afraid that Cherries would be shocked and lose her confidence, so he patiently tried to persuade her.
"Yes, Little Lord, you're amazing. I'm going to learn from you. Little Lord, actually, I've never thought of you as a monster. It's just that …"
"Cherries, Big Sister Pomegranate wants you to bring Young Master Xiao Bao over there. She says that she has something to discuss." Just when Cherries wanted to say a few more words to Zhang Xiaobao, a child ran over and shouted at Cherries.
Cherries knew this child. He was a child of a family in Zhuangzi. His name was Little Shitou. Looking at Little Shitou's anxious appearance, she nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go now. Little Shitou is a good child."
Hearing the praise, Little Shitou shyly rubbed his head, turned around, and ran away again.
"Little Lord, Pomegranate wants us to go over. Do you think we should go or not?" Cherries didn't know why Pomegranate wanted her. She still wanted to carry the little lord, so she asked inquisitively.
Zhang Xiaobao instantly realized that this was definitely not Pomegranate's intention. Pomegranate wouldn't dare to ask him to go over. Needless to say, other than Pomegranate, there was only Wang Juan left. It was guaranteed that there was something important to discuss. He nodded, opened his arms, and let Cherries carry him. He said, "Let's go. Hurry up. Maybe there's something urgent. Call back the child who hasn't run far and ask him what he saw and heard."
Cherries carried the little lord, called Little Shitou, and called him over to ask him. Of course, Little Shitou didn't know why Pomegranate wanted him to come over and find someone, so he shook his head blankly.
"I'm not asking about Pomegranate. I'm asking about you playing over there. Did you encounter anything fun?" Zhang Xiaobao saw that Cherries didn't know how to ask, so he had to interject.
"Little Boss, I was playing in the water with the other people on Zhuangzi. It was really fun. I, oh, yes, we heard that the Great Philanthropist Song was coming, so we all ran over. I was too slow." Little Shitou was a little nervous when facing the young master of the main family, so he couldn't speak clearly.
"Who is the Great Philanthropist Song? Who gave you things for free? " When Zhang Xiaobao heard this, he felt that there was something wrong. He always felt that if a person was really kind, then he wouldn't have a reputation. Those who had a reputation were not good people.
He had seen a lot of people like this. When there was a natural disaster, they would try their best to advertise how kind they were. They would take out a lot of money and wait for the media to flatter them. They had a reputation, but they didn't take out the money at all. He had also seen a real kind person. Wherever there was a need for help, some people would drive their own off-road vehicle, install a satellite phone, and bring a car full of first aid supplies. When they arrived at the place, they would give out the supplies. If anyone was in danger, they would call. When the supplies were gone, they would drive elsewhere to buy more.
Then this Great Philanthropist Song definitely didn't belong to the latter. What was he doing here? Was it to gain a reputation?
While Zhang Xiaobao was guessing, Little Shitou said again, "In fact, the Great Philanthropist Song is really a good person. He has helped a lot of poor people, but there are always some people who say that he is a liar. I heard that it was spread by a few rich people in Zhuangzi."
When he said this, Xiaobao was stunned. It was a familiar feeling. Helping the poor and deceiving the rich was what he had done in the past. The problem was that when he was in China, he usually didn't deceive proper businessmen. He usually deceived officials. Could it be that the Great Philanthropist Song was looking for the rich to do this? It was too extreme. It was really a little extreme.
Thinking about this, they went all the way to the bridge. Wang Juan and Pomegranate were waiting. When the two met, Wang Juan said first, "Xiao Bao, Pomegranate said that the Great Philanthropist Song is a liar. I don't think it's possible. What do you think?"
Zhang Xiaobao understood when he heard this. Looking at Wang Juan's excited eyes, he had to say, "Cuckoo is right. How can there be a liar in such a good place? A good person, definitely a good person. I promise. Let's wait here. A good person shouldn't only do good to the people across the bridge. "As he said this, he glared at Wang Juan and blamed her for being a busybody.
Wang Juan smiled. She really hoped that it was a liar. It would be very fun to meet Zhang Xiaobao. Liar? How capable could a liar in this era be? International liars were all doing business honestly. Who dared to cheat them? She had to see for herself who it was.
Thinking of this, she was afraid that the liar wouldn't come. She said, "Why don't we go over and take a look?"
"Forget it. Let's not go over. This side of the bridge is our place. If we go over, it's their place. We have to give them a chance." Zhang Xiaobao vetoed this suggestion. If they really went over, it would be considered offensive. If they waited here, it would be considered defensive. There were too many people in the world who were not pleasing to the eye. They could not go looking for trouble for no reason.
Pomegranate and Cherries didn't know what the two children were talking about, but they were anxious. If Little Master and Cuckoo were wronged, it would be troublesome. They were especially vigilant against that liar Song. Pomegranate first persuaded from the side. "Little Master, that person is really a liar. Let's just wait here for a while. If that person comes, don't pay attention to him, okay?"
"Pomegranate, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing. We'll just play here. When he comes, he will naturally know what's going on. Don't always listen to others. You have to see it with your own eyes. Hearing is false, seeing … seeing is not necessarily the truth. In short, just wait." Wang Juan wanted to catch the liar now, maybe it was a professional habit.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't say a word. Looking at the bridge in front of him, he knew that the river passed by his house. He immediately thought of a new way to earn money. He wanted to implement it, but he found that there were too few people around him. Moreover, the investment this time would not be small. Just as he was thinking about when to implement it, a person walked over from the other side of the bridge, and a group of people surrounded him.
When Wang Juan saw that person, her eyes lit up. She could guess that that person should be Liar Song. Oh, he should be called Great Philanthropist Song. She turned her head and glanced at Zhang Xiaobao. Zhang Xiaobao helplessly shook his head and sighed. This person really didn't know when to stop. He originally thought that he wouldn't come here, but he didn't expect that he would bump into the muzzle of the gun. Was this bridge so easy to cross?
"Little Young Master, that's the Great Liar Song. If he comes over, you and your wife must not speak. Just ignore him." Pomegranate became nervous. Her eyes stared at the person opposite of them, hoping that he wouldn't come over.
That person didn't seem to hear Pomegranate's inner thoughts. Finally, he walked to the bridge with a smile on his face. While talking to the people around him, he looked at the two children in silk clothes and the person holding the children. That smile suddenly became brighter.
When Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao saw that person's smile, they also smiled. Wang Juan was smiling because she could finally fight against criminals again. Zhang Xiaobao was smiling a little bitterly. There was a road to heaven, but you didn't take it, but there was no door to hell. Well, I need to revise my trickery. I haven't cheated for a long time. I miss it.
How could Song Jinggong know what he was going to face? As soon as he saw the two children, he was happy. The people in Ge Zhuang were afraid, but the people in this place might not be so. Especially the existence of the two children, it was really good. He found another excuse.
After saying a few words to the people around him, he quickly walked over and took out two sugar figurines from his sleeves. Song Jinggong thought that the two children would be moved by the lifelike sugar figurines.
Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao were still judging whether this Great Philanthropist Song was really a liar like what Pomegranate said. Now, when they saw the sugar figurines, they determined this person's character. He was unaccountably solicitous. He even brought props with him. It seemed that he was also a habitual offender.
"Look at this child. How nice. Come, taste the sugar figurines." Song Jinggong waved the two little sugar figurines in front of the children and said.
"Who are you? How dare you take out things for my Little Young Master and my wife to eat? Are you tired of living? "When she saw the Great Liar Song coming and holding the sugar figurines, Pomegranate scolded with a cold face.
This time, Song Jinggong was even more happy. From these words, he determined the identity of the two children. He stared at the children's eyes and said, "Yes, yes, I shouldn't let your Little Young Master and your wife eat these things. I'll put them away. These children are really beautiful. I fell in love with them at first sight. You are …?"
