The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 384: End of the Show



Judging from the audience's reaction and the efforts of the acrobats, this performance was undoubtedly spectacular.

However, just when everyone thought it was over, the chubby leader smiled widely, holding the microphone: "Do you all think the show is ending here? Haha, it's not that simple.

Everyone has seen humans train animals, but who has actually seen animals train other animals?"

With these words, the crowd roared to life once more, the atmosphere growing increasingly vibrant, and everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Let's have some applause, folks. Next, we'll show you something you don't normally see, alright?" the chubby leader shouted loudly.

"Alright!"

The shouts of approval were deafening, and everyone was clapping with all their might.

In the next moment, a monkey jumped down from the container, wearing a black tuxedo, and walked to the center of the carpet, even taking off its top hat, placing it against its chest with one hand, and bowing to the audience.

"This monkey is really smart!"

"Tsk! What's so great about that? If you have time, you should visit Emei Mountain, the monkeys there are truly amazing."

"Stop the chatter and focus on the performance."

While the audience was busy gossiping, the chubby leader handed the whip to the monkey and quietly stepped aside.

Meanwhile, a little teddy dressed in light blue spotted clothes was stepping on a leather ball, entering the stage.

"Snap!"

The monkey imitated the chubby leader's action, flicked the whip in the air, while making a downward gesture.

"Woof!"

The teddy jumped off the ball, crouching before the monkey, looking up at it with what seemed like fear in its eyes, its tiny body trembling incessantly.

However, nobody cared about the dog's emotions, and the audience only cared if the show was exciting, immediately greeted with another wave of applause.

"Trained to be this obedient, how many beatings must it have taken?" the little girl said somewhat compassionately.

Lin Zhiyan, seeing her downcast expression, joked: "Shihan, if I were to train you next, would I need to use this method too?"

The little girl was instantly startled: "Zhiyan sis, I'm the most obedient, no need to use such a cruel way on me."

"Really?" Lin Zhiyan chuckled softly: "Last time with Uesugi Yumi, you didn't listen to me at all."

"That was because of special circumstances!" the little girl explained: "Mainly Xiao Feng was standing on a rock, if it had been Zhao Guo'an instead, I definitely wouldn't have rushed up so impulsively."

Lin Zhiyan laughed with exasperation: "You actually know you were impulsive."

At this moment, a frustrated voice came from behind: "You two, next time you're gossiping behind someone's back, could you please lower your volume a bit?"

Lin Zhiyan and the little girl turned their heads simultaneously, the little girl looking innocent: "We weren't gossiping behind anyone's back."

"You two haven't been gossiping behind people's backs? I heard everything, okay?"

The little girl said confidently: "But I was obviously standing in front of you with Zhiyan sis and gossiping, not behind you."

"..." Zhao Guo'an.

Is the point really whether you're standing in front of or behind me?

...

After more than ten minutes, the show finally reached its end.

The chubby leader said with a smile: "As the adage goes, all good things must come to an end. Today, it's fate that we gather here from all over the place.

If you found the show exciting, please dig into your pockets a bit. We use the money to feed our families, you are akin to our benefactors, and we won't forget your kindness even if we need to go to the ends of the earth.

If you didn't bring money, don't be in a rush to leave, everyone forgets to bring money sometimes, stand your ground to cheer for us, that's already giving us face, we'll still appreciate your support..."

As the chubby leader spoke, acrobats had already started collecting money with boxes stamped with a "three-in-one" payment code, compatible with the three main payment apps, any of which could be used for payment.

The monkey circled around the stage bowing repeatedly to the audience.

This made the audience generously open their wallets.

Watching a movie costs money, so why not an outdoor acrobatics show, which is rare nowadays, especially one that is so exciting, and without selling stuff like "bruising medicine" in the end, everyone is willing to spend a little.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the chubby leader's eloquence; after he praises you as benefactors, how could you not give even a little bit.

The little girl rummaged through her pockets and threw all her money into the box, though it wasn't much, probably around three hundred bucks.

After tossing in the money and looking up, she noticed Xiao Feng's somewhat unhappy expression.

This reminded her of Xiao Feng's stingy behavior as a consultant at the police station when he would always ask Song Keren to reimburse his taxi fares, so she cautiously asked: "Xiao Feng brother, do you think I gave too much?"

Xiao Feng shook his head without saying much.

The money collection segment continued for more than ten minutes, even after most of the crowd dispersed, some still came specifically to scan and pay, and the chubby leader incessantly bowed and thanked them, speaking pleasantries.

At this time, the chubby leader noticed Xiao Feng's group and quickly ran over with a smiling face: "Apologies everyone, I'll go get those little gifts I promised you."

Clearly, the chubby leader assumed the reason Xiao Feng and others hadn't left was because they were waiting for the small gifts he had promised earlier.

However, before he turned around, Xiao Feng stopped him: "No need, we're interested in your monkey, name a price."

Everyone felt puzzled, not knowing what Xiao Feng was up to, but no one dared to ask openly at this moment.

Except Zhao Guo'an, who appeared deep in thought, as if pondering something.

The chubby leader was briefly stunned, then chuckled: "Sorry, in your eyes, that monkey might just be something interesting, but in our troupe, it's part of the cast."

"How about fifty thousand?" Xiao Feng asked.

In fact, most people have a misconception that monkeys are expensive, but that's not the case.

In terms of price, a typical monkey isn't as valuable as a good breed dog, it's merely rare and intriguing, making people think it's expensive.

Of course, this is also related to monkeys being protected animals.

The reason monkeys are rare isn't because most people can't afford them, but because they're not suited to being kept as pets at home, plus you need to process legal documentation to keep them, unless someone truly likes monkeys, they wouldn't go to such lengths.

A moment later, the chubby leader reluctantly declined with a smile: "I can tell you're not short on money, but for us, selling it to you and training another one takes significant time and effort, our troupe has many mouths to feed, don't they?"
