The next day, Jiang Yunzhu was still doing the takeout business, and sure enough, the number of people ordering meals did not decrease.
That afternoon, she was about to take a break when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Chen went to open the door, and then said in surprise, "You're here!"
It was Liu who brought Lu Yuan, and Wei Kangping followed beside them. He was carrying a lot of things in his hands, big and small bags.
He carried the things to Chen and put them down in the main hall, saying with a smile, "Song Kee's dim sum, Po Fook House's roast chicken, and some tangerines from the south. I'll bring some for you to try."
Chen was a little flattered. There were dim sum, roast chicken, and tangerines. She had seen them in the county town last time. They were very expensive.
"That's embarrassing. No, we can't accept it." She refused.
"Sister Chen, please stay. This is my token of my gratitude to you." Liu said at this time.
Chen thought she was talking about her previous reminder to leave Jinniu Village, so she said, "It's really not worth it." She just said a few words and didn't really help her do anything.
Liu didn't mean that, she was just thanking Chen for letting her meet Wei Kangping. But the matter hadn't been finalized yet, so she couldn't say it clearly, so she just asked Chen to accept it.
Chen had no choice but to accept the gifts and let them sit inside.
"Where is Brother Jiang?" Liu asked when she entered the room and didn't see Jiang Cheng.
"He!" Chen smiled. "He got the mule. He was so happy that he couldn't sleep every day. He rode the mule around to familiarize himself with the routes."
At this time, Jiang Yunzhu, Jiang Lin and others also entered the house. Liu brought things with her, so she was a guest, and as a family member, they had to meet the guest.
Others were fine, but when Wei Kangping saw Jiang Yunzhu, his eyes lit up. He had only seen her briefly at the Mule and Horse Market that day, and he hadn't had time to take a closer look at her. But when he saw her today, she seemed even prettier than that day.
Jiang Yunzhu felt someone was looking at her, so she looked over there and met Wei Kangping's gaze.
Wei Kangping nodded slightly, with a bit of the demeanor of a young master from an aristocratic family. What he thought of himself, in Jiang Yunzhu's eyes, seemed very greasy, the kind of self-satisfaction.
Jiang Yunzhu retracted her gaze, thinking that it might not have been her illusion that day. This Wei Kangping...
"Familiar with the route, familiar with what route?" Liu asked, following up on what Chen had just said.
Chen then told Jiang Cheng that he was planning to make a living by pulling rickshaws.
Liu listened and thought it was a good business, but why did she have to wait? She had already bought the mule.
I don’t have money to buy a car, Chen was embarrassed to say.
Liu guessed it, and immediately said, "Mrs. Chen, if you are short of money, just tell me. I still have some."
She was an orphan and a widow, so how could Chen lend her money? She quickly said it was not necessary.
"If you are short of silver, I have some here. Just take it, sister-in-law. You can pay me back if you have it later. If not, you don't have to pay me back." As Wei Kangping said this, he actually took out a ten-liang silver ingot and handed it to Chen.
This is ten taels of silver.
Chen was startled and quickly backed away. "No, no, really no," she said over and over again.
She dodged, revealing Jiang Yunzhu who was sitting next to her.
Wei Kangping turned his arm and stuffed the silver into Jiang Yunzhu's hand, saying, "Sister, take it for your mother."
He called Chen "sister-in-law" and Jiang Yunzhu "sister".
"I dare not." Jiang Yunzhu dodged his hand nimbly and said lightly.
Wei Kangping's hand stopped there, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Put it away quickly, you've already helped us a lot." Chen hurried to the rescue, as the other person had good intentions.
"Okay. Whenever you need money, just come to me," said Wei Kangping.
After this incident, everyone started chatting and sighing when talking about the various things in Jinniu Village.
In the meantime, Chen saw that Lu Yuan was very well-behaved and cute, so she looked at Jiang Yunzhu, meaning, if there was anything to eat at home, please give some to the child.
The Jiang family didn't really have any snacks, but Jiang Yunzhu remembered that she still had the glutinous rice and lotus root she made at noon, so she got up and went to the kitchen.
She found glutinous rice lotus root in the jar. Thinking of Lu Yuan's age, she put the lotus root on the chopping board, preparing to cut it into small pieces before giving it to Lu Yuan, so that he would not find it unpalatable.
"Girl, what is this? It smells so sweet." Wei Kangping arrived in the kitchen at some point and asked with a smile while looking into the jar.
Jiang Yunzhu replied briefly, "Glutinous rice lotus root."
"Glutinous rice lotus root? What is that?"
Jiang Yunzhu didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.
Wei Kangping smiled, took out a box from his sleeve, opened it and handed it to Jiang Yunzhu, "Sister, look at you, you are so beautiful, but you don't even have a hairpin on your head, it's too plain.
This is for you."
In the box, a butterfly-shaped pearl flower shines brightly.
If Jiang Yunzhu was a girl from an ordinary family, at the age of loving beauty, she would definitely be moved by this beautiful pearl flower. Unfortunately, she was not. Not to mention the pearls and jades she had worn in the Anping Marquis Mansion in her dream, even in modern times, she had seen things that were a hundred times better than this pearl flower.
"No need." Jiang Yunzhu put the cut glutinous rice lotus root into the bowl, turned around and left the kitchen.
The smile on Wei Kangping's face froze. His tricks that had always worked for him in the past didn't work on Jiang Yunzhu!
He looked at Jiang Yunzhu's back, and a hint of viciousness crept into his face.
In the room, Jiang Yunzhu handed the glutinous rice lotus root to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was very excited when he smelled the glutinous rice and lotus root, and he looked at Liu.
"This is glutinous rice lotus root, made by Yunzhu. Yuan'er, try it." Chen said with a smile.
"Your sister Yunzhu gave it to you. Eat it quickly." Liu said to Lu Yuan with a smile, "By the way, what else do you want to do?"
"Thank you, Sister Yunzhu." Lu Yuan took the bowl of glutinous rice and lotus root, tilted his little face up and said to Jiang Yunzhu.
"You're welcome!" Jiang Yunzhu touched his head, feeling heavy in her heart. This Wei Kangping was not a good man. Liu and this child...
At this time, Wei Kangping also entered the room. He did not sit in any of the many seats in the room, but sat next to Jiang Yunzhu.
Jiang Yunzhu didn't look at him, but was wary of him.
Suddenly, she saw his arm bumping against her arm, and although he seemed to be talking to Old Man Chen, he was actually looking at her out of the corner of his eyes.
Jiang Yunzhu was very sure that he did it on purpose and he wanted to touch her arm on purpose.
He even bullied Mr. Chen because he had poor eyesight and couldn't see!
Jiang Yunzhu just felt disgusted and immediately withdrew her arm and said, "What are you going to do!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent and everyone looked at Jiang Yunzhu.
"He wanted to touch my arm." Jiang Yunzhu said directly.
In this era, everyone attaches great importance to a woman's chastity. Especially since Jiang Yunzhu is not married yet, how can a man like Wei Kangping want to touch her arm
Chen stood up immediately and looked at Wei Kangping with an unpleasant expression.
Old Master Chen also clenched the cane in his hand.
Liu also stood up in panic, looking at Wei Kangping and then at Jiang Yunzhu, at a loss as to what to do.
Wei Kangping was stared at by everyone, feeling embarrassed and angry. He really wanted to touch Jiang Yunzhu's arm with his arm, but in his opinion, even if he really touched it and Jiang Yunzhu felt it, she, an unmarried girl, could only bear it and dare not say anything.
Maybe he would even show a shy and timid look.
He loved seeing girls make this expression the most.
Who would have thought that Jiang Yunzhu dodged and even questioned directly.
"I didn't want to touch you." Wei Kangping could only insist on this, and then explained, "I just wanted to straighten my collar." He pointed to his collar.
After all, there was no evidence, so Wei Kangping and Liu left awkwardly. Chen threw all the things they brought into their arms and closed the door without saying goodbye.
Liu stood there for a long time before walking back with a cold face.
Wei Kangping glanced at the Jiang family's gate with hatred, and quickly caught up with her, "Qiu Niang, I promise, I definitely didn't want to touch her. You know, I like you."
"How can a girl accuse you of such a thing?" Liu didn't believe it.
"Maybe she really misunderstood. Besides, why do you think she kept staring at me?"
However, Liu still ignored him with a cold face.
"Qiu Niang, I want to dig out my heart and show it to you, so you can see who is inside it. You still don't believe me, well, I swear, if I really want to touch her today, let me die miserably." Wei Kangping swore.
Ancient people believed in the existence of gods and ghosts in this world, and also believed in swearing. When Wei Kangping cursed her like this, Liu began to waver. Could it be that Jiang Yunzhu really misunderstood
That was really hard to explain. She had originally wanted to come and thank Chen, but who would have thought it would turn out like this.
She held Lu Yuan and continued walking forward, still ignoring Wei Kangping, but her expression had eased somewhat.
Wei Kangping gritted his teeth and hurried to catch up.
At the Jiang family, after the three Lius left, Chen took advantage of the situation when no one was around and asked Jiang Yunzhu in private, "Does he really want to touch you?"
"Mom, don't you still believe me?" Jiang Yunzhu said.
Chen was angry, but of course she believed Jiang Yunzhu.
Later, Jiang Cheng came back and Chen told him what happened in the afternoon. Jiang Cheng was so angry that his eyes turned red. He also believed Jiang Yunzhu. That guy surnamed Wei!
"I'll go find him." Jiang Cheng said with a red face. He was going to settle the score with him.
"Boss." Chen became worried again.
"Dad! We don't have any evidence." Jiang Yunzhu stopped Jiang Cheng. She was afraid that Jiang Cheng would suffer if he went.
"Yunzhu." Jiang Cheng turned his head and looked at her.
Jiang Yunzhu frowned and thought. She was not touched, but Wei Kangping's behavior was sexual harassment.
Besides, she was a little worried about whether he would take revenge. And Liu and that child...
In short, it’s always a good idea to prepare for the worst.
By the way, when she saw the mule in Jiang Cheng's hand, she suddenly remembered that would a man like Wei Kangping sell such a good mule to them at such a low price
