Why do you say I'm simple-minded?
He was puzzled, confused, and looked at Ye Yun with a serious expression full of curiosity.
Ye Yun pursed her lips.
"Well," she thought for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully, "you've been married to Lin Jiao for two years, and some of your thinking has become ingrained, but it's not entirely your fault."
"Then why did you say I'm stupid?"
"Oh, don't overthink it, it's just because I don't like the look of you."
"..."
Jiang Yuan choked to death once again.
"I'm serious, so please stop teasing me, sister-in-law." He sighed wearily, looking at Ye Yun with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
This was the first time Jiang Yuan had ever called her "sister-in-law".
Okay.
Seeing his sincere attitude, Ye Yun asked in a clear voice, "Do you know what it means to be knowledgeable?"
Jiang Yuan was taken aback. "What?"
"You have good insight."
Ye Yun's lips curled slightly, her voice gentle yet powerful:
"Some say they've enjoyed wealth and luxury, some say they've traveled all over the world, and some say they've eaten delicacies from land and sea. But is that what knowledge is?"
What does it mean to be insightful?
"Know the height of the sky, know the depth of the earth, know your left and right, know where you are."
"I have seen the excellent and talented, and I understand that there are always people better than you and the world is vast; I have seen the unbearable, ugly, dark, frustrated, depressed, or in a trough; I have seen the breadth of the world and the diversity of life; after all this, I know how to be measured, maintain my composure, and never forget who I am and where I am."
"That's what you call insightful."
Jiang Yuan was speechless.
How can there be so much knowledge in just two words?
Before this, he thought that being knowledgeable meant having seen a lot of the world.
So he was well-mannered after all.
No wonder Lin Jiao pointed at his nose and scolded him for being ignorant; it turned out she was scolding him for not knowing his place.
Seeing his stunned expression, Ye Yun couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Alright, I don't think you're ignorant. You actually know a lot. It's just that the past two years of marriage to Lin Jiao have taken a toll on you. You've refused to have much contact with the outside world, closed yourself off, and shut down your thinking."
"Compared to others, you actually know a lot, so there's no need to underestimate yourself."
"real?"
A faint glimmer of light flashed in Jiang Yuan's eyes. The feelings of inferiority and lack of confidence that Lin Jiao had instilled in him gradually dissipated like sunlight breaking through the clouds.
Ye Yun nodded and said truthfully, "Don't worry, you're a decent person, except for being a bit dim-witted in one aspect."
Jiang Yuan, "..."
If it weren't for that last sentence, he would have really thought Ye Yun was praising him.
...
The next day, a rare customer arrived at the pastry shop early in the morning.
When Lin Jiao appeared in the pastry shop, Ye Yun had just woken up. Seeing the energetic girl in sportswear standing in the shop, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
Yes, she wasn't mistaken.
The slightly chubby girl in front of me, with her bright smile and radiant eyes, is Lin Jiao.
Although she had heard from Jiang Yuan last night that Lin Jiao had changed a lot, becoming thinner and more beautiful, she was still greatly shocked when she actually saw her.
How did she go from 200 pounds to looking only 120 or 130 pounds in just two months?
"Ye Yun!"
When Lin Jiao saw her, her eyes lit up as if she had seen a savior. Despite Qin Zheng's unfriendly gaze, she mustered her courage and quietly moved closer to Ye Yun.
Clutching a stack of ten-yuan notes, he gestured to Ye Yun from afar that he would hand them over.
As she walked over, she deliberately turned to look at Qin Zheng, blinking her eyes and desperately explaining, "I really just wanted to give her money, don't worry, I'm scared when I see you, I won't bully her, please don't hit me!"
Qin Zheng: "..."
He didn't say anything, did he?
Just in case, he put down what he was doing, picked up the steamed buns he had bought and the glass bottle of milk he had ordered from the counter, and walked toward Ye Yun.
Seeing him approach, Lin Jiao trembled with fear and instinctively took two steps back.
Qin Zheng, "..."
Ye Yun, "..."
Seeing that she was really afraid of Qin Zheng, she took the breakfast Qin Zheng handed her and gave him a look that signaled him to leave first.
Qin Zheng didn't want to leave yet.
Lin Jiao has a criminal record, and he was afraid that Ye Yun would be bullied.
Ye Yun sighed helplessly, patted his waist with her small hand, and gave him a reassuring look.
She had met Lin Jiao before, and this girl had indeed changed drastically. She would no longer do foolish and impulsive things to her like before.
Qin Zheng then gave up.
But he didn't go too far. He walked behind the counter and said, "You go about your business, I won't bother you. I'll help Xiaohui tidy up the tableware. Call me if you need anything."
Very good, they didn't even leave the house.
Even though Qin Zheng was already two meters away and kept turning around to do his work, Lin Jiao's timid gaze remained fixed on him without any sign of relaxation.
This amused Ye Yun.
"Are you really that afraid of him?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiao clicked her tongue with an indescribable expression, then pulled her hand and whispered, "You don't understand... Do you know how much of a shadow that kick he gave me back then left? I feel chest pain whenever I see him now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Zheng's sharp gaze fell on her and Ye Yun's hands.
Startled, she immediately let go.
But then she remembered the large sum of money in her hand, and immediately and quickly stuffed it into Ye Yun's shirt pocket, taking two steps back to create a safe distance between them.
Ye Yun, "..."
Puzzled, she reached into her breast pocket and pulled out a ten-yuan note.
What does this mean?
"This is the money I'm returning to Jiang Yuan."
"...?"
