Chapter 205: Entering
"Did Yuan Shu leave again?"
The lark kept fanning itself with a fan to avoid feeling depressed.
Chen Shiyi doesn’t know either.
Fu Da suggested from behind.
"Go to the county government office and ask for some silver to be found. Otherwise, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. How long will it take to find it?"
It’s not that Chen Shiyi was unwilling to go to the county government, but when describing Yuan Shu, he didn’t know what he was like now, or whether he was still willing to see him.
During this period, she discovered that there was a shop selling Jiangnan rice cakes in Yujing County, which was very much to her taste.
After all, she was tired of the seafood here.
She was waiting with a smile on her face for the rice cakes that had just come out of the pot in the store. The rice cakes were soft, white and had a rice aroma. When she took a bite, she tasted the glutinous, fragrant and sweet taste, and the tip of her tongue was so hot that her heart sank.
She was about to go back with the wrapped rice cakes, when unexpectedly, a clear voice came from the side.
"Shopkeeper, where's mine?"
The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Sir, I've saved all yours for you."
Chen Shiyi was stunned when he heard the voice.
She looked up at the man in front of her. He was tall and strong, with clear eyes, but too much clarity. His cheeks were rosy, and he held the rice cake with the corners of his mouth always raised high.
He is still as greedy as before for rice cakes.
Chen Shiyi's eyes were instantly filled with tears.
"Yuan Shu..."
He didn't seem to hear.
"Yuan Shu..."
Chen Shiyi shouted again.
He finally looked at Chen Shiyi in confusion and found it very strange. Why was this girl looking at him and crying?
Who is Yuan Shu?
It's a bit confusing.
He picked up the rice cake and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, the woman stopped him with eyes full of surprise and sadness.
"Yuan Shu, I have been looking for you for many years..."
He looked at her bewilderedly, feeling that she looked very familiar.
Did he really know her before?
"My husband..."
Not far away, a smiling woman was calling him.
The woman was dressed in gorgeous clothes and wore a golden hairpin on her head. She must be from a wealthy family.
Chen Shiyi thought that Yuan Shu had forgotten about her, but she was relieved to see that he seemed very happy now, which was at least much better than when she was with him.
Yuan Shu, upon hearing the voice, immediately ran towards the woman.
"My wife..."
Chen Shiyi felt a mixture of sour, bitter and sweet in his heart.
She looked at their joy and affection and smiled softly.
It’s great to see that the person I care about is living such a happy life. This trip to Wonju was not in vain.
"Sister..."
Behind her, a lark was calling her.
"Haven't you bought your rice cake yet?"
Chen Shiyi pulled Bailing and pointed at the person in front.
"Yuan Shu?"
Bai Ling was very surprised and was about to go up to call him, but Chen Shiyi pulled him back and shook his head.
"He's living a good life now. He's married and is someone else's husband. We, the people of the past, shouldn't bother him anymore."
After she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes, and she took Bailing's hand and left in the opposite direction of Yuanshu.
"Sister?"
Chen Shiyi hadn't taken a few steps when he heard Yuan Shu's voice behind him, with a hint of doubt.
"Are you Sister?"
Chen Shiyi was filled with great surprise.
Her voice was trembling.
"Well, I'm your elder sister, do you remember?"
The woman next to him was very kind and started talking quickly.
"You are my husband's sister? Then you are his relative? Come to my house and have a seat."
The girl's name was Huang Tongwei, and her family was a well-known wealthy family in the area.
She invited Chen Shiyi and the other four to sit down in the reception hall and had the servants serve them tea.
"I got married to my husband in the early summer of last year. I didn't even know his name. When I first saw him, he was being chained and sold by someone else. I was immediately attracted to him and bought him."
"He was very pitiful, with wounds all over his body. He dared not close his eyes when he went to sleep at night after buying him. He would open his eyes again after being sleepy for a while. He was also afraid of dogs and would hide far away when he heard a dog barking."
"However, every time he gets scared or does something wrong, he calls you 'Sister'. He is very dependent on you..."
Chen Shiyi burst into tears after hearing this.
"Yuan Shu, I'm sorry, it was my sister who accidentally lost you and caused you to suffer so much."
Huang Tong said with a smile.
"You don't have to blame yourself. He kept talking about you like that, so you must have been very kind to him. People's hearts are hard to predict. It's not necessarily your fault that he's in danger."
Chen Shi kept nodding and wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief. His eyes were red, but he felt comfortable in his heart.
Huang Tongwei is a very kind person.
"It's Yuan Shu's blessing to meet you."
Huang Tong smiled self-deprecatingly.
"I bought him because I felt sorry for him and also because his kung fu was very powerful, so I bought him and brought him into the Huang family."
Chen Shiyi's brows twitched slightly.
"Enter the jackpot?"
Huang Tong nodded slightly.
"Yes, my parents both died while they were out at sea, and my family has some property. I am the only daughter in my family, but you know, when a daughter gets married, she cannot inherit her parents' property. Under the pressure of those uncles, I had to find someone to marry me, but I was afraid that those who marry me have bad intentions. My husband is just the right person for me."
Chen Shiyi smiled.
"Then he turned misfortune into fortune."
Huang Tong chuckled twice.
"It must be a blessing in disguise for me. My husband is very good to me. He helps me with whatever I want to do without any complaints and stands by me unconditionally."
Chen Shiyi sighed.
"He's a good boy."
"You are his elder sister, which means you are his relative, and his relative is my relative. Since you have come from a long way, you can stay in my house. Although the food and drink are simple, it is better than living outside."
Yuan Shu's eyes were also full of expectation. I don't know what he was thinking of. Looking at himself, his eyes were pure and clear, but he seemed to have grown up a little and seemed to be very sensible.
"Okay, I'll bother you then."
In the evening, Huang Tongwei hosted a grand banquet for Chen Shiyi and his group of four.
"When my husband came out, he really didn't like the food here. He just wanted to buy the rice cakes from that store every time. I asked him why he liked rice cakes so much. It turns out he had been eating them since he was a child."
Bai Ling interrupted.
"No, his favorite is the rice cake made by Yuanxi. He always takes a lot of it. Only my sister can get two pieces from him."
Yuan Shu immediately asked in confusion.
"Yuanxi?"
Bailing felt that he spoke too quickly and couldn't control himself.
Fu Da, Bo Yuan, and Chen Shiyi also remained silent.
Huang Tongwei tried to smooth things over.
"My dear husband, please try the dishes. They are shipped from the inland area according to your taste. I believe you will like them."
Bailing likes it very much. She almost vomited after eating so much food here.
Chen Shiyi looked at the rich and tender vegetable and taro soup in front of him and his appetite was greatly aroused.
"Tongwei, I've also done some business, and I wonder what your business is about. Or, if we have the chance, we can work together."
