Chapter 179 Hunting Time
Chen Hanxing smiled faintly: "I was the one who pestered her. I originally wanted to wait for a while and choose an auspicious day to go and propose marriage. Who knew that your sister would actually stop me in the street and even drag me to the night market. I don't know who is shameless."
Wei Xin would never believe what he said: "You are talking nonsense."
"Believe it or not." He was about to walk around him and leave. It was a waste of time to talk to such a person.
“Chen Hanxing, I am a scholar after all, so what’s wrong with you marrying my sister?”
Wen Zhenyi had been silent the entire time, but when he heard this, he turned and looked at him with contempt: "Is being a scholar so great?"
"You ignorant woman, what do you know?"
"I don't know anything, but he doesn't need to rely on you."
Wei Xin burst into laughter. "He'll never be able to enter the examination room in his lifetime. You'll be carried out in less than a day."
Wen Zhenyi's brows turned slightly cold: "Then you just wait and see." After saying that, he pulled a few people and left.
If this wasn't a busy street, she would have beaten the guy up long ago.
Shen Hanxing felt warm in her heart when she saw her angry back.
Wen Yongnan also felt bad. You dare to look down on my sister? Sooner or later you will regret it.
Wen Yongman took Wen Zhenyi's hand and said, "Sister, why didn't you let me beat him just now?"
"With your tiny arms and legs, you should practice more."
Wen Yongman: .....
Wen Zhenyi had previously thought that the person following her was Wei Xin, but she discovered that the person following her did not leave, and his eyes were always on her.
She showed a weird smile on her face and said, "You'd better not mess with me. I'm so angry now and have no place to vent."
Lin Jie's house is not big. There is a small courtyard in front, where several families live. The backyard is occupied by his family's carriage and horse.
When they went in, they heard the neighbors complaining that their family was selfish and occupied the entire backyard, making it impossible for them to use it.
When they saw Wen Zhenyi and the others entering the yard, they all asked in a bad tone, "Who are you looking for?"
Shen Hanxing said: “Lin Jie.”
"What bad luck." Everyone in the yard said this and walked away.
Lin Jie heard the sound and came out of the room, then saw several people in the yard: "Miss Wen, why are you here?"
"I came to talk to you about the food delivery."
"Come in and sit down." He then lifted the door curtain and let the few people in.
The house is not big. There is a small hall as soon as you enter the door, and there is a room on each side. There are not many furniture in the house, but it is very clean.
From time to time, coughing sounds came from the room on the right, as if someone had been ill for a long time and had not recovered.
"Xiao, Xiaojie, yes, who is here."
Lin Jie looked at them apologetically and said, "Please sit down for a moment." Then he walked into the room on the right and whispered a few words to the people inside.
Wen Zhenyi asked Shen Hanxing in a low voice: "Brother Shen, is there only the two of them, father and son, in their family?"
"Well, Brother Lin's mother died of illness when he was ten years old. After that, his father raised him alone and never remarried."
"Isn't Brother Lin married yet?"
"No"
"To be honest, their family conditions are not bad in this town."
"Because of Uncle Lin's illness, the prospective couple was afraid their daughters would suffer if they married him, so they delayed it until now."
"What did their family do before?"
"When Uncle Lin was young, he was a coachman in a caravan and made some money. Later, when Aunt Lin passed away, he wanted to take care of Brother Lin, so he bought a horse and thought of starting a business of picking up people."
"Then life should be good."
"Yes, he did. He even sent Brother Lin to a private school for a few years. That's when we met. But then Uncle Lin fell ill, so he had to give up his studies and go home to take care of him."
"Has it never been better?"
"Well, I heard from Brother Lin that his father has a chronic illness from his youth. It's unlikely to recover, so he can only hold on like this."
"That's going to cost a lot of money."
Chen Hanxing nodded: "That's right, the family's money has almost been spent, and he doesn't dare to go far away, for fear that no one will take care of his father. Life is getting harder and harder."
"If he doesn't find something suitable, he might even have to sell his carriage."
"Selling a horse-drawn carriage is no easy feat. The horse is old and won't fetch much. He now hauls goods when he has work to do, and works odd jobs at the docks to earn a living."
Lin Jie came out of the room and said apologetically, "Miss Wen, my father said he's not feeling well, so he won't be coming out to see everyone."
"No problem, take me to say hello to Uncle Lin."
Lin Jie nodded: "Okay. Can you come and deliver the order today?"
Wen Zhenyi handed him tomorrow's order: "This is what needs to be delivered tomorrow. You need to arrive early and tell Zhu Tao, and she will be responsible for preparing it for you."
Lin Jie took the list and looked at it carefully. These were all families in the town. He took a quick look and found that more than 30 families had already ordered food.
This doesn’t even include the number of copies. If you look closely, there are probably dozens of copies: “That’s a lot.”
"This is only for the morning. When you deliver it, you also need to tell the customer about the tea for lunch today and see if the customer needs it. If so, you need to record it and charge for it, and then deliver it to the customer in the afternoon."
Lin Jie's hands were shaking slightly as he held the paper. He had to work very hard at the dock all day and could only earn fifty or sixty cents at most.
Now he can easily earn hundreds of coins, and this is just the beginning, there may be more in the future.
"I will do my best."
Wen Zhenyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Although we know that Uncle Lin's disease is not contagious, it is inevitable that some customers will be pretentious, so you should still change into clean clothes and wash up before delivering food every day."
"I will."
"In that case, you can just arrive early tomorrow according to the meal delivery time."
"I'll be there on time."
After Wen Zhenyi and the others finished talking, they got up and left. If they stayed any later, it would be dark.
Today she refused to let the three of them take her back to the store. She planned to take a stroll around the night market to see if there was anything fun or delicious to eat.
The private school has a set time for students to go home, so they cannot accompany me for a walk outside unless it is a day off.
Wen Yongnan still said worriedly, "Go back early."
"Okay. I'll just take a walk and then go back."
Although Chen Hanxing is not a student of the private school now, he still has to abide by the rules of the private school since he lives there and cannot make things difficult for his grandfather.
Wen Zhenyi winked mischievously: "I'll just walk from here to the store, I won't go far."
"When grandpa takes a rest, I'll go shopping with you."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and nodded, watching them walk into the alley, and the smile on his face disappeared: "Hunting time has begun."
She turned around and didn't walk towards the market, but chose a secluded alley. There were few people walking here, and it looked a bit eerie at night.
