Chapter 47 He Changqing is back
Early in the morning, Zeng Kui came to learn how to cook. Xiao Jiuyue taught him very seriously. She even told Zeng Kui everything about the last dish, boiled cabbage, from the method to the control of the heat.
"Miss Xiao, would you like to try it?" Zeng Kui's first pot of boiled cabbage came out of the oven. The clear soup was like boiling water, and when it brewed the cooked cabbage, it looked like blooming cabbage flowers.
Xiao Jiuyue tasted it and praised it, "Not bad, it tastes authentic. Could it be that Shopkeeper Zeng asked you to learn from him? You've learned it well."
Zeng Kui's face turned red again after hearing this. In the evening, Zeng Kui returned to the restaurant and started cooking for Zeng Qing to taste. When Zeng Qing saw how the boiled water in the boiled cabbage was made, he was speechless. No wonder Xiao Jiuyue said, cabbage costs one penny, and boiled water costs three thousand!
"Let's go buy some cabbage tomorrow!" Zeng Qing couldn't wait to serve the new dishes. Today's drunkard peanuts and spicy pig ears were very popular with everyone, and the feedback was very good!
Once the boiled cabbage is served, he believes that the restaurant's business will definitely pick up!
Fu'an Village suddenly became lively. Fengchunlou came to buy the cabbages, chickens and ducks in the village. The villagers who sold their things and earned money were very happy. The villagers who didn't sell their cabbages were relieved when they heard that Fengchunlou would come to buy cabbages every day.
Shi Lizheng was very fair. Everyone took turns selling cabbages, and everyone could get money! !
In the He family, He Lian gave birth to a stillborn baby.
Xiao Jiuyue had the child delivered directly to Gan Zongrong.
That afternoon, He Changqing, who had been in prison for more than half a year, returned to the village!
"Changqing, you, you're really back?" Shi Lizheng said excitedly when he saw He Changqing, who was so thin that only skin and bones were left. "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
"Uncle, did you know I was coming back?" He Changqing was confused when he was suddenly released from prison.
"Go home first, and you'll know when you get home." Shi Lizheng didn't say much, just asked him to go home and take a look first.
…
"My cousin, Gan Li is dead." Xiao Song wanted to bring up the matter of the five thousand taels of silver several times, but he didn't know how to start.
Xiao Jiuyue held Gan Li's confession and divorce letter in his hand and said, "Cousin, have you ever thought about what to do next?"
"Ah?" Xiao Song looked at Xiao Jiuyue blankly.
"The son of the Gan family made Xiao Wenxing a cripple. Don't you want revenge?" Xiao Jiuyue said seductively.
"I do, I dream about it, but, but I... can't take revenge, cousin, how about you go find Magistrate Zhuang?" Xiao Song asked cautiously.
"Uncle, that's not how you use favors." Xiao Jiuyue chuckled. She didn't even know if Magistrate Zhuang was round or flat. Even if she did know him, exchanging such a small thing for a favor? That was too uneconomical!
"Xiao Wenxing, is he still in the Gan family?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
Xiao Song shook his head: "When something like this happened, I must have taken Wen Xing out. Wen Xing wanted revenge, but I, I didn't know what to do. So, I came to my cousin for advice."
Xiao Jiuyue said, "Uncle, you and Wenxing should find some evidence that the Gan family is smuggling salt."
"This, this kind of..." Xiao Song immediately thought it was impossible. Xiao Jiuyue said, "If you can't find it, ask Xiao Wenxing to find it. Xiao Wenxing has lived in the Gan family for such a long time, it's impossible that he doesn't know anything, right?"
As for Xiao Wenping, Xiao Jiuyue was too lazy to even look at him!
She was rather curious about how powerful Xiao Wenxing, who was praised so highly by Gan Li, was. If she could really find some clues, then...
"Cousin, if we live in the county, what should we do if the Gan family retaliates against us? Besides, it costs money to get information. Now, I'm short of money..." Xiao Song said worriedly. Five thousand taels, he didn't even touch it.
"I certainly wouldn't dare retaliate openly, but secretly, you just need to be more careful." Xiao Jiuyue pretended not to hear that he wanted five thousand taels of silver. She said, "The shop in the county..."
"Cousin, I will go discuss it with Wenxing right now. I will definitely find evidence." When Xiao Song heard about the shop, he was afraid that Xiao Jiuyue would take the shop back, so he ran away immediately!
"How dare he set his sights on five thousand taels of silver!" Lianxin rolled her eyes upon hearing this.
"Lianxin, put it away." Xiao Jiuyue handed the confession and divorce letter to Lianxin. Just as she was about to get up, she heard Luo Kui running in and said, "Miss, the He family is here. They said they want to thank you for saving my life."
"He Changqing is back?" Xiao Jiuyue reacted immediately.
Luo Kui nodded and said, "That should be it. There's a man standing next to Aunt He."
"Let them in." Xiao Jiuyue sat upright in the main seat, thinking about Shi Lizheng's evaluation of He Changqing: a good hunter.
"Thank you, Miss Xiao, for saving my life!" As soon as Aunt He entered the house, she knelt down in front of Xiao Jiuyue with tears in her eyes. Her look was completely different from the vicious one she had when she drove them out that day.
"Thank you Miss Xiao for saving my life." He Changqing knelt down beside him. He was happy to return home and see that his mother and sister were still alive. When he learned that it was Xiao Jiuyue who saved him, he immediately came over to thank her.
"Aunt He, this matter was caused by the Xiao family. Now, we have made up for it a little, but it cannot be said to be a life-saving grace." Xiao Jiuyue's voice was light and her eyes fell on He Changqing. His thin body swayed in his clothes, and his skinny face was just skin and bones, but his eyes were tough.
"No, without Miss Xiao, Changqing would still be suffering in prison." Aunt He was heartbroken when she saw her son. If he couldn't get out, would his body be able to bear it?
Aunt He kept crying and repeating words of gratitude for a long time.
"Lianxin, take Aunt He to wash her face." Xiao Jiuyue said, and Lianxin immediately led Aunt He out. Suddenly, only He Changqing and Xiao Jiuyue were left in the room.
"He Changqing, you know the person who bullied your sister..."
Before Xiao Jiuyue finished speaking, He Changqing spoke up, "The person who bullied my sister was Gan Tao, a member of the Gan family. I only regret that I didn't figure it out at the time and went after Xiao Wenxing!"
He Changqing did not regret having been in jail for such a long time, he only regretted that he had not severely punished the person who actually bullied his sister!
"Are you interested in revenge?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
He Changqing looked up in shock, and seeing Xiao Jiuyue's bright and beautiful face, he lowered his head hastily. He said, "I must avenge my sister!"
"Then how do you want to take revenge? Kill Gan Tao directly?" Xiao Jiuyue stared at He Changqing and asked.
"Yes." He Changqing answered without hesitation. He had originally intended to kill Xiao Wenxing, but unfortunately, he only killed him!
"If it's all over, wouldn't that be a relief?" Xiao Jiuyue's lips curled slightly. She leaned back in her chair comfortably and asked, "Do you know what the most painful thing about taking revenge on others is?"
"What is it?" He Changqing asked subconsciously.
"Let him lose everything and experience all the suffering in the world." Xiao Jiuyue's voice was cold, like the chill of early winter. He Changqing immediately said, "Please seek Miss Xiao's advice."
