Chapter 9: Mr. Shen and Shen Hanxing
Wen Chengwen looked at the crowd surrounding them. They could no longer see their mother and daughter, but they only knew that there were more and more people here.
Liu Si, with his hands in his belt and a bandage wrapped around his head, walked towards the market with a few of his younger brothers, looking unhappy.
When he saw a pretty girl, he would go up to her and stop her, teasing her: "Little beauty, are you buying some groceries? Show me what you bought, brother."
The person behind him pulled his arm and said, "Brother, look, there are quite a few people gathered in front."
When Liu Si looked back, the girl he had stopped ran away quickly. He looked at the person running away and felt even more unhappy: "Let's go and take a look."
The crowd was gathered in three layers inside and outside, and you could even smell some fragrance.
Liu Si jumped up and wanted to look inside, but he saw nothing. He got angry and said, "Get out of my way."
When the people in front heard his shouting, they were furious and ready to curse, but when they saw it was Liu Si, they could only pull the people next to them and move aside.
Liu Si's younger brother walked to the front and pushed the people next to him: "Move aside, move aside, didn't you see Master Liu Si coming?"
Wen Zhenyi looked up at the noisy crowd, took the food out of the pot, and wiped his hands with a towel.
Old Mrs. Wen returned to Wen Zhenyi's side and looked at Liu Si who walked out of the crowd.
When Liu Si saw that the person inside was Wen Zhenyi, he felt the wound on his head begin to ache again.
Wen Zhenyi looked at the person who came, who was playing with a sharp knife in his hand, with a half-smile on his face.
Liu Si took a step back and bumped into his younger brother behind him.
When the younger brothers behind him saw Wen Zhenyi, they also swallowed their saliva. They all said that the daughter of the Wen family was stupid and dumb, but they saw that day that she was not stupid or dumb at all, and was even more vicious than a ghost.
The atmosphere suddenly became eerily quiet. The people around looked at Liu Si, then at the Wen family's grandparents and grandchildren, and they didn't know what was going on.
Wen Zhenyi stood up, holding a knife in his hand, made a throwing gesture, and was swinging back and forth.
When Liu Si saw her like this, his legs went weak instantly, and he quickly said, "Mrs. Wen, I'm here to tell you today that you should pay me back slowly, including interest..."
He originally wanted to say sixty taels, but he felt a cold gaze locked on him, and immediately changed his words: "Even if it's fifteen taels, give it to me. I'll give you a month. If you can't pay it back, I'll report it to the authorities. Don't say that I, Liu Si, am heartless then." After saying that, he left with his men without looking back.
The onlookers were all confused. What was going on? You know, Liu Si was a famous ruthless person. He was a domineering person in Wenxia Town. If anyone owed him money, he would make you pay the price even after an hour.
Why are you so easy to talk to now? And it seems that the interest rate has even been reduced?
The way they looked at the Wen family changed again. Could it be that the Wen family and Liu Si have a good relationship?
Wen Zhenyi stretched and sat back on the stool, intending to sell today's pig offal in one go.
Old Mrs. Wen also had doubts in her mind, but now was not the time to think about things. She had to focus on doing the business first.
At noon, Shen Hanxing and his grandfather Shen Xiucai walked out of the private school.
Mr. Shen looked at his grandson beside him. This child was good in everything, well-educated and had a good personality. The only thing that bothered this old man was that he didn't like to eat.
Because of this, he didn't dare let him take part in the scientific examination. You know, taking part in the scientific examination would take several days, and his body could not withstand the torment.
Now the two of them, the grandfather and the grandson, depend on each other for survival, and they dare not let him make any mistakes. This gives him a headache.
He saw many doctors and took many medicines, but there was still no improvement. Instead, he became thinner and his mental state became worse and worse.
He was really afraid that if this continued, he would really die before his loved ones.
"Han Xing, what do you want to eat?"
Shen Hanxing shook his head: “Grandpa, I’m not hungry.”
Shen Xiucai was really helpless: "Let's go to the market and see if there is anything you like to eat, we can sit down and eat something."
"You don't have to take care of me, just eat what you like."
Shen Xiucai sighed helplessly: "Let's go for a walk and see."
Chen Hanxing looked at his grandfather walking in front of him and his gray hair. He knew that he was worried about his health, but he just had no appetite and was not interested in anything.
Shen Xiucai saw the crowd in the distance and said, "Han Xing, it seems quite lively over there. Let's go and take a look."
Some people in the crowd recognized Shen Xiucai and made way for him: "Shen Xiucai, why are you here?"
"The private school is over, so I brought my grandson to see what this place is all about."
"It's the girl from the Wen family in your village, cooking here."
Shen Xiucai was a little surprised: "Are you talking about the little girl from the Wen family?"
"That's right. I always say she's stupid, but today I saw her cooking and she was amazing. The food she made was both delicious and beautiful."
Shen Hanxing looked towards the crowd.
Wen Zhenyi just looked up and saw him, was slightly stunned, and then smiled.
Shen Hanxing was stunned, her eyes seemed different from before.
When Wen Zhenyi saw him, she picked up some of the food she had made with a toothpick, ran to him, handed him the food, and smiled sweetly.
Shen Hanxing looked at the thing in her hand with some hesitation. He didn't want to eat it, but he didn't want to make her sad: "Is it for me?"
Wen Zhen nodded and insisted on handing it to him.
Shen Xiucai looked at the two of them curiously: "Han Xing, since it is the intention of the Wen family girl, you can try it."
He now wishes his grandson would eat all these things, even if they don't taste good.
Shen Hanxing took the things in her hand and threw them away when he was thinking about leaving, but he didn’t expect Wen Zhenyi to just look at him like that, as if he wanted to wait until he finished eating before leaving.
He looked at the bamboo sticks in his hand. There were not many of them. Should he eat them?
Wen Zhenyi knew that if he turned around, this guy would definitely not eat, as his anorexia was quite serious now.
Chen Hanxing picked up a bamboo stick and took a small bite. The taste was not bad, it was even delicious. This feeling of happiness spread from the tip of the tongue to the whole body.
Mr. Shen watched his grandson eat, and the happiness in his eyes could not be expressed in words.
At this time, Old Lady Wen came over with a ceramic bowl filled with various dishes made by Wen Zhenyi today: “Master Shen, you and Han Xing can take these back and eat them.”
Shen Xiucai wanted to refuse, but seeing that Shen Hanxing seemed unsatisfied, he reached out and took it: "How much is it? I'll pay."
"You're hurting our feelings by mentioning money. After all, you're the teacher of my good-for-nothing son. These things aren't worth much. Take them back and try them for yourself."
