Chapter 91 You Are the Funniest to Me
In the Yue family's backyard, Mrs. Du looked at Yue Lingshu's injured leg which had just been bandaged and couldn't stop sighing.
"I walk this mountain road every year, how come I fell like this this time?"
Yue Lingshu had tears in her eyes, she hugged Mrs. Du's arm, and her voice was filled with tears.
"I was gone for so many days, and I cried secretly at night thinking about you. On the way back, I saw spring flowers just blooming on the mountain, and I wanted to pick some to put in a vase for you, but unfortunately I was useless and ended up hurting my leg."
Mrs. Du felt very distressed and rubbed her hair.
"I know you are a good and filial child, but don't do this again in the future."
Haha, everyone can be filial like this. Cheng Xinyu coughed lightly and walked forward to hug Mrs. Du's arm.
"I was gone for so many days. I missed you so much at night that I hugged Dongdong and cried. On the way back, I saw two birds and wanted to catch them to sing for you. But unfortunately, I was useless and let them fly away."
She spoke in a coquettish voice and acted in a very realistic manner, imitating Yue Lingshu's behavior vividly. Except for her cousin herself, everyone present burst into laughter, and even Mrs. Du couldn't help laughing.
"Good kids, you are all good kids."
Yue Lingshu turned away the smile in her eyes and said coquettishly, "My aunt is still the one who makes people love her. When she comes, no one in the family loves me anymore~"
Madam Du laughed and said, "Look, you two are so grown up now, but you are still like little kids, making your cousin and his wife laugh at you."
Yue Lingshu leaned in Madam Du's arms, looking at Chen Tang with a smile.
"Oh, so the old lady is afraid of being laughed at by outsiders?"
Chen Tang took the opportunity to sit beside Madam Du's legs and leaned his head against her side.
"Of course the old lady is not afraid at all. It seems that she doesn't treat us as outsiders~"
Mrs. Du also held her in her arms and stroked her hair with a smile.
"Of course. I love you all the same."
Chen Tang smiled and looked at Yue Lingshu on the other side.
"Cousin, isn't that right?"
Yue Lingshu's face became stiff from smiling.
Qi Huaijing watched from the side and laughed secretly, then gave Chen Tang a thumbs up from a distance, and then pulled Zhao Wenzheng out the door.
"My aunt is still as sharp as ever. With her around, my wife won't be bullied."
Zhao Wenzheng frowned when he heard this, "She won't age even if you do! I hope she can be more restrained and stop bullying others too much."
Qi Huaijing patted his shoulder and said, "That's fine. Let's go. It will be too late if we don't go out at this hour."
"We? You're going out, what does it have to do with me? I'm not going, I have something going on at home..."
It's not convenient to go up the mountain, and we've been separated for several days. It's the time when separation is better than a new marriage. This nephew is really ignorant.
Qi Huaijing was really ignorant and just pulled his uncle-in-law out.
"I've been busy these days, and I'm in need of a hand. Come on, it's time for you to repay me!"
When the two of them were in their teens and opened their first shop together, Zhao Wenzheng actually lost a lot of money and was about to be laughed at by his family. Qi Huaijing came to his rescue and used his own profit to fill the hole for him, so that they could make a "net profit of twenty taels" and prevent their good brother from becoming a laughing stock.
Over the years, Qi Huaijing used this matter to threaten him from time to time, asking him to run errands for him in return for covering up the shame.
This time, Zhao Wenzheng was caught by him and was busy for a whole day. He met with the shopkeeper, asked the manager about things, checked the inventory, visited business partners, and went to the dock twice to check the goods...
After being busy from mid-morning till nightfall, both of their throats were almost smoking. Zhao Wenzhen was so tired that he collapsed on the couch and didn't get up for a long time.
Qi Huaijing still sat firmly in his chair, flipping through the account book page by page, and it seemed that he had no intention of going home.
Zhao Wenzhen rested for a long time before he struggled to get up from the couch and said goodbye.
"It's getting late. I really need to go home. I have things to do at home..."
Qi Huaijing turned over a page of the account book, took a sip of refreshing tea, and smiled calmly.
"Tsk tsk, you want to go home so early, it seems you are more! lazy!!"
"...You kid, I knew you would remember this! You petty bastard!"
Qi Huaijing covered his face with the account book and gradually smiled with ill intent.
"…It's not too late to go back after the child falls asleep."
Zhao Wenzheng understood immediately. It turned out that this guy had deliberately delayed him for a whole day, and watched him secretly getting anxious...
He picked up a fruit from the fruit plate and threw it at him angrily, but Qi Huaijing caught it and took a big bite with a smile.
"Look at you, just go and get me some fruit! ... By the way, when you go out, go to the counter. There is a bag of silver there. Give it to your aunt and ask her to pick out the most fashionable headwear in your jewelry store. I want them all. Also, tell me a message..."
He paused for a moment and spoke very sincerely.
"...I'd like to trouble you, auntie. Before Yue Lingshu gets engaged, I've asked her to take care of everything for my wife."
Zhao Wenzhen waved his hand and strode out through the door.
"I will definitely bring it to you!"
As expected, I don’t know if it’s because of their long-term friendship, business considerations, or a common dislike…
In short, Cheng Xinyu accepted Qi Huaijing's commission very readily and protected Chen Tang like a chick.
She would never let Miss Yue get a chance to do something bad to Shen Tang.
For example, Yue Lingshu took advantage of Chen Tang being alone and invited her to sit in her boudoir to chat. As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Xinyu hurried over and pushed Xixi into Chen Tang's arms...
"My nephew's wife is busy helping me take care of the kids, so she really doesn't have time."
For example, Yue Lingshu cried to Mrs. Du that she had injured her leg and could not get engaged to the Duan family for a while, and Cheng Xinyu reminded her...
"For the engagement, the elders just need to set up a banquet. It's not like skipping rope. There's no need for the young lady to do anything herself."
For example, Yue Lingshu had several good cousins who usually got along very well with each other. After a few words of instigation, a group of them started to murmur behind the scenes, mocking the fact that the father of the Shen family was only an eighth-rank official...
Cheng Xinyu cleared his throat, stood up, walked over and questioned everyone one by one.
"Excuse me, what rank is your father?"
"What official position does your father hold?"
"And you! Last year, your father pasted the Spring Festival couplets on the front door upside down, and no one in the family noticed. How dare you laugh at your father who is well-educated and holds an official position?"
“…”
A group of daughters of merchants were trembling with fear when asked by Cheng Xinyu.
A girl from the Yue family named Yue Liuer, who was closest to her cousin Yue Lingshu, felt a little resentful.
"Aunt! We were just joking, why did you take it so seriously?"
Cheng Xinyu smiled, bright and generous.
"So it was just a joke... You're the funniest person in my opinion!"
“…”
The cousins were angry but dared not speak out.
Cheng Xinyu is the younger sister of Mrs. Cheng, the mistress of the Yue family, and the younger aunt of Yue Lingyun, the eldest master of the Yue family. She is a serious elder, and no one dares to offend her.
Chen Tang fell in love with his aunt even faster than he fell in love with Qi Huaijing. Being by her side every day, he felt extremely at ease.
