Chapter 65 Stayed
It’s a pity that the two children didn’t know how to appreciate it. They just thought that the person behind them had opened his bloody mouth as if he wanted to eat them.
He suddenly threw himself into his parents' arms, not daring to look up again.
Normally, the two children would not be like this. Shen Jinan looked back, his eyes full of inquiry. Is it related to Hong Niangzi?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Shen Jinan quickened his pace and soon arrived at the door of his home.
"The conditions are simple, please don't despise me, Lady Hong."
She pushed open the door and led Hongniang in.
"Logically, I'm the one who's bothering you, so how dare you dislike me?"
She always had a smile on her face, but that smile never reached her eyes.
Shen Jinan also knew that this was just a polite remark, and it would be bad if he took it seriously.
She led Hongniang inside, and just in time, there was a vacant room next to the living room, so she gave it to Hongniang to stay in.
That was originally Lin and his family's room.
"This is your room. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality." Shen Jinan thought for a moment, with hesitation on his face, "Tell us if you need anything."
She stepped forward and pushed the door open. The room was extremely simple, with nothing in it except a bed and a table, some basic furniture.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Hongniang's brows frowned slightly, but only for a moment.
She clapped her hands, and suddenly a figure emerged from the darkness.
"master."
The man knelt on one knee, with his head lowered, his face unclear, and waited quietly for Hongniang's order.
Is this the secret guard?
Shen Jinan was a little curious and glanced over there several times.
"Clean up this room." Her eyes were wandering.
Hearing the order, the guard responded, turned around and walked into the house, took out a bench, wiped it with his sleeve, and then placed it behind Hongniangzi.
But Hongniang did not sit down immediately. The guard took out a piece of brocade from his arms and spread it on the stool. After everything was ready, Hongniang sat down.
Shen Jinan, who was standing by, was a little stunned.
As expected of a landlord, this is too particular.
"Mrs. Gu? Can I call you that?"
Hongniang's eyes fell on Shen Jinan's face. She had an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, and naturally red lips. Her eyes seemed to contain all kinds of charm. Even she couldn't help but praise her when she saw her.
How could there be such a beautiful woman in such a place? Considering her identity, Hongniang had some guesses in her mind.
"As long as you are happy." Shen Jinan lowered his head, looking respectful.
In fact, he was looking for Gu Yanqing in the yard, but there was no trace of him.
Did he go into the house first with the child?
Thinking about the identity of the person in front of him, Shen Jinan felt that he had considered it carefully.
I'm still unsure of this person's temper. If he hurts the child again, it would be more trouble than good.
"It seems that Madam Gu was once a daughter of a wealthy family. I wonder what her plans are now in Chenjia Village?"
Her sharp gaze fell on Shen Jinan's face and never left.
Shen Jinan naturally understood what she meant.
She complained in her heart: You might as well just ask me why I don’t rent your land!
"What plans can I make? The child is still young, and my husband is weak and can't do heavy work." Shen Jinan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I do know a little about medicine. I plan to try my luck in the mountains and see if I can find some medicinal herbs and sell them in the county town to make a living."
It turned out that she was a rich girl who had never done housework. Hongniang immediately understood.
The unhappiness in my heart that they refused to rent the land gradually dissipated.
After chatting for a while, Shen Jinan slipped away on the pretext of preparing dinner.
Suisui and Huanhuan poked their heads out of the house and saw the woman in red sitting in the yard. They were suddenly frightened and immediately retracted their feet.
Then he remembered that this was his own home and there was nothing to be afraid of. Sui Sui puffed out his chest to give himself courage, but when he caught a glimpse of the red figure, he quickened his pace and ran towards the kitchen.
"Mom, my brother and I want to go out and play."
The two little kids hugged Shen Jinan's legs, one on the left and one on the right, their big eyes blinking with anticipation.
When Shen Jinan saw it, his heart was immediately melted by cuteness.
"Go if you want to." Suisui and Huanhuan often stayed with her along the way. Both children didn't like to interact with outsiders.
Now that we have settled down here, we should let the two little ones play with their peers more often. After all, the energy that playmates can bring to children is something that their parents cannot give them.
Pulling her apron to wipe her hands, Shen Jinan took out a handful of nougat from her sleeves, squatted down and looked at them: “Be careful when you go out to play, don’t go to the water.”
Sui Sui nodded, full of responsibility: "Mom, don't worry, I will protect my sister!"
"Okay, okay." Shen Jinan's eyes curved with laughter as he gave the candies to the two siblings. "Friends should learn to share. If you make new friends, remember to treat them to candy."
The two little kids nodded, their eyes shining, and they were extremely looking forward to making new friends.
After repeated instructions, Shen Jinan sent them out.
Children cannot always be protected under your wings.
Hongniang sat alone in the yard, looking at the open space in deep thought. When the two children left the house, she glanced at them.
Outside the yard, sheltered by the large trees, Shen Xitang and Lin craned their necks to look towards the Gu family.
"Did you see that?" Lin patted Shen Xitang and squeezed towards her again.
"Stop pushing!" Shen Xitang shouted impatiently, "It's so far away, I can't see clearly at all!"
They followed Shen Jinan quietly along the way, just to see what the big shot wanted to do.
“Mom, what do you think is so attractive about Shen Jinan’s family?”
Lin shook her head, her eyes a little confused, and soon filled with resentment: “It’s probably to cause trouble for Shen Jinan. Didn’t you see that none of their people rented any land.”
"That's great!" Shen Xitang was secretly delighted. Every time she mentioned Shen Jinan's name, she gritted her teeth in hatred.
Being able to see Shen Jinan in trouble is the happiest thing for her.
Shen Xitang caught a glimpse of something flashing by in the corner of his eye. He looked over there and saw two little kids running out of the yard hand in hand.
"Aren't those the two bastards of the Gu family?"
Following her gaze, Lin was a little confused: "Isn't Shen Jinan concerned about these two little brats? Why didn't he follow?"
Shen Xitang's eyes flashed, and his face looked a little ferocious: "It's good that you didn't follow us. Isn't our chance here?"
Knowing that she was targeting the two children, Lin suddenly became nervous: "Don't forget that every time we went against her, we didn't end up well."
This reminded Shen Xitang. Her expression was not very good, and her tone was also a little impatient: "Such a good opportunity, shouldn't you seize it?"
Lin's eyes rolled, and she immediately had an idea. She waved towards Shen Xitang in surprise and whispered her plan in her ear.
After hearing what she said, Shen Xitang's eyes lit up.
Shen Jinan, just wait to cry!
