Chapter 723: Chapter 723: You’re at Least a Rich Nth-Generation Heir

The half of the dumpling caught between the chopsticks had a coin nestled in the filling.

The thin coin wasn’t noticeable in the dumpling filling and wasn’t completely visible.

Only the edge of the silver coin peeked out, hidden within the filling, not something you’d see without looking closely.

The old man exclaimed, "Oh!" and told Xiao Mo, "I just got poked by a coin; you have to be careful when you eat, Xiao Mo. Take small bites, or you’ll accidentally bite onto a coin. If you chip your little tooth, it won’t be good."

Xiao Mo nodded seriously, "I will be careful."

Then, his eyes fixed intently on the old man.

Watching as the old man carefully extracted the coin from inside.

There was still a little meat filling sticking to the coin.

The old man dipped the coin in a bowl of water to rinse it off before taking it out.

Xiao Mo quickly focused on eating his own dumplings.

Each time, he bit cautiously, afraid of the coin hitting his little teeth.

Every first bite was full of anticipation.

But every time he bit down, he was disappointed to find no coin inside.

"Oh!" This time, it was Chi Jingsi.

Xiao Mo quickly looked over.

He saw Chi Jingsi elegantly pick out a coin, "The second one is mine."

The little guy: "..."

No worries, there are still 6 more!

"Oh!" Zhao Dinghuan also exclaimed.

The little guy now dreaded hearing them say "Oh."

It was simply too scary.

What kind of luck did the adults have!

Why could they find coins so quickly!

The little guy was afraid they would eat too much and take all the coins.

So he hurriedly helped himself to several more dumplings.

Ye Fei saw the little guy like this and didn’t try to stop him.

Because even if she did, he wouldn’t stop.

Then they heard a "thud."

Zhao Gushen had also placed a coin on his plate.

The little guy: "..."

Then, embarrassedly, Ye Fei picked out a coin as well.

The little guy looked and was almost about to cry out of urgency.

In a blink, five coins were gone.

The little guy had eaten 20 dumplings and hadn’t found anything.

"These dumplings haven’t been finished. We’ll have them for breakfast tomorrow. The remaining coins must be in those dumplings," Ye Fei said, seeing the little guy was about to force himself to eat more, fearing he’d make himself sick, she had to intervene.

"No, I can still eat!" The little guy asserted seriously, stretching out his hand to stop Ye Fei.

Ye Fei: "..."

"Pace yourself," Zhao Gushen also advised.

The little guy was small, with a small appetite.

Twenty was already a lot.

"I can eat 10 more!" Xiao Mo insisted.

Zhao Gushen: "..."

With difficulty, the little guy scooped 10 dumplings into his bowl.

Now he couldn’t even tell which flavor was which.

Just eat to finish them.

When he got to the twenty-ninth, the little guy felt like the dumplings were stuck in his throat.

The elderly woman also advised, "Don’t eat if you’re full."

The little guy was almost about to cry from grievance.

He had eaten so much and still hadn’t found a single coin.

What kind of luck was this!

It was so bad!

"I’ll eat just one more!" The little guy gritted his teeth and said.

He didn’t believe his luck was so bad that he’d eaten so many without finding a single one.

Now he was so full his stomach felt it was going to burst, moving was uncomfortable.

With difficulty, he scooped one more dumpling with a spoon, almost retching as he brought it to his mouth.

"Just one more!" Xiao Mo said firmly.

Ye Fei had no choice but to say, "Then that’s really the last one! If you eat anymore, you might have to go to the hospital."

Imagine if during the New Year, he ate so much he ended up at the hospital?

"Just one more!" The little guy gritted his teeth and said.

"Dumpling," the little guy said to the dumpling at his mouth, "my luck is in your hands now!"

Everyone: "..."

The little guy slowly, lightly, cautiously bit into the dumpling.

This time he wasn’t worried and excited about hitting a coin with his teeth.

Really he was just too full, too full to muster the strength, can you imagine?

You’ve heard of no strength from hunger, but never from being too full.

Actually, by now the little guy no longer held any hope.

Yet unexpectedly, this time, his little tooth struck something.

The little guy went blank.

Never could he have imagined luck would arrive at the last moment.

Carefully, the little guy ate the half dumpling.

Saw the silver edge of a coin peeking out from the filling.

The dumpling filling looked so beautiful to him!

The little guy shook his head, mesmerized.

He used his teeth to pull the coin out before grasping it with his hand.

Quickly rinsing it in clear water.

But a quick rinse wouldn’t clean it; grease was still stuck on the coin.

Have to wait until all the coins are out to boil them in hot water to sterilize.

Because of the coin, even the remaining half dumpling wasn’t too hard for Xiao Mo to eat now.

After stuffing it in his mouth, Xiao Mo climbed down from his chair, ran to the sofa, and sprawled out in all directions.

"How are you going to sleep being this full?" Zhao Gushen asked with a twitch of his mouth.

This kid, just such low ambitions.

"Xiao Shen, carry Xiao Mo back to his room," the old woman said.

"However, Xiao Mo, don’t rush to sleep; move around a bit, let it digest before you sleep, or you’ll feel uncomfortable in the morning," the old woman instructed.

It was so late now; can’t let the little guy stay here by himself.

The little guy had his own separate dwelling.

Middle of the night, telling him to digest and then walk back wasn’t reassuring.

So, let Zhao Gushen carry him back, let the little guy digest in his room or courtyard, no need to walk in the middle of the night.

"No, don’t move me," Xiao Mo immediately raised his hand, "I don’t want to move now."

Zhao Gushen: "..."

"You get up and try to stand, take advantage of the walk back to digest," Zhao Gushen said.

"Look at you, such low ambitions," Zhao Gushen said disdainfully, "You’re a rich N generation, the family won’t be short on your money, must you strive so hard for a coin?"

The little guy shook his head, firmly rebutting Zhao Gushen, "Dad, you can’t say that. Even if I’m a rich N generation, not short on money, I still have to work hard!"

"If the young don’t work hard, they’ll end up with regrets in old age. I can’t be a good-for-nothing rich N generation who does nothing!" Xiao Mo said.

"Squandering the family’s wealth is wrong!" The little guy spoke eloquently, having recently learned so many idioms.
