Chapter 60 Winning Over
That doesn't sound like something a good person would say.
Ye Wan's lips twitched for a moment as she wondered about Chu Xiujie's purpose. Could it be that he found out she had taken the ring?
"mother."
When Sanya saw Ye Wan in the courtyard, she hurriedly ran over and stared curiously at Chu Xiujie at the door, asking, "Who are you?"
"Little girl, I often eat noodles at your mother's stall, have you forgotten?"
Sanya nodded. "I forgot."
Chu Xiujie laughed.
"What's so funny? I've never laughed before!" Ye Wan thought to herself.
She maintained her composure and cautiously said, "My husband isn't home. It's really inconvenient for me, a woman with my daughter, to come in. Please don't come in."
"I think it's quite convenient. I've walked for so long and I'm thirsty. I've already given them medicine, so it's not unreasonable for them to have a glass of water."
Chu Xiujie saw a table in the courtyard, walked over and sat down, looking around at his surroundings.
This house is so dilapidated, won't it leak when it rains?
That man is clearly quite capable, as he lets his wife and daughter live in such a dilapidated house.
"Mother, have we had a guest?" Daya came out of the house and was clearly taken aback when she saw Chu Xiujie.
"Da Ya, right? Pour me a glass of water." Chu Xiujie gave what he considered a gentle smile. This little girl actually cut her hair; interesting.
Da Ya looked at Ye Wan.
Chu Xiujie laughed in exasperation, "What, you can't even have a glass of water?"
His medicine was worth twenty taels of silver. If it weren't for the fact that he found Ye Wan and these girls agreeable, he would have nothing better to do.
"Please wait a moment, guest." Daya went to the kitchen and quickly came out with a bowl of water, which was chipped.
Chu Xiujie clicked his tongue. He was really thirsty and didn't care about etiquette, so he picked up the glass and drank it.
"This water is so sweet."
Then his gaze fell on the chicken coop. "You're raising these chickens quite well."
"These are all fed by my Sanya on a regular basis." Ye Wan felt that this person's intentions were impure and was cautious and wary.
"Mother! Who's coming from outside?"
Er Ya's voice came from inside the house.
“They are the customers who often come to our stall to eat noodles,” Ye Wan replied.
Chu Xiujie turned his gaze to Ye Wan, "How can you be a stepmother at such a young age?"
Ye Wan said shyly, "I love my brother Yuan, and of course I love his three children too."
Chu Xiujie couldn't help but laugh. If he knew that Lin Anyuan could break a person's neck without blinking, would he still like it?
Interesting, this family is quite interesting.
Outside the courtyard gate, Aunt Wang saw the man in the yard from afar, then turned around and left.
In less than half a day, the news spread throughout the village that a man was chatting and laughing with Ye Shi in the yard while Lin Anyuan was away.
Ye Wan was preoccupied with dealing with Chu Xiujie and didn't notice Aunt Wang. She sat in the courtyard for half an hour before finally leaving.
"This is the medicine that the customer gave me earlier. It must be very expensive. Er Ya, your face can be saved."
Inside the house, Ye Wan happily showed it to Er Ya, so that Er Ya's face could legitimately heal quickly.
"Really? Mother, quickly put it on for me!" Er Ya was overjoyed.
"Don't use it yet. I'll have the doctor take a look later before I give it to you." Ye Wan had no intention of giving it to her at all. She planned to make her own burn ointment later and pretend it was from this bottle.
"When is your dad coming back? When he gets back, let him take it to see." Er Ya was extremely excited.
"Okay, shall we have chicken soup again today?" Ye Wan still had half a chicken left from yesterday in her space.
"Drink, the chicken soup is so delicious, it's a pity Dad didn't get to drink it."
...
...
In a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city, a small pot was bubbling away, simmering chicken soup.
Lingniang sat in the corner, mending old clothes, her mouth watering at the aroma wafting from the pot. "Little monkey, when will it be ready?"
"Sister Ling, don't worry, it'll be ready soon."
The little monkey had barely finished speaking when it saw the person entering through the door and almost jumped for joy, "Brother!"
Lingniang looked up and saw the man she could never forget.
"Brother Lin, why haven't you guys come back for so long? Where have you all been? Do you want some chicken soup? I'll get you a bowl right now." The little monkey circled around Lin Anyuan.
"I'm not drinking. Something unexpected happened. You guys should stay out of the way for now."
After Lin Anyuan finished speaking, he glanced at the pot and asked, "Where did this chicken come from?"
The little monkey immediately tensed up, "It's...it's..."
"It's all cleaned up," Lin Anyuan said before leaving in a hurry.
Seeing that he didn't even glance at her, Lingniang felt a little disappointed and couldn't help but ask the little monkey, "Little monkey, what does Brother Lin... do?"
She left with these people, only to find that there was nowhere to stay, and she immediately regretted it.
Fortunately, the men all left, leaving only a half-grown little monkey behind, and she was safe.
“My older brother is working in the government office now. I’ve already told you about what happened before. We were both beggars and were saved by Brother Lin. Brother Lin is a good man. If it weren’t for him, I would have frozen to death long ago.”
As the little monkey spoke, he turned off the fire, saying, "Quickly bring me a bowl, I'll give you some chicken soup."
Lingniang hurriedly brought over a bowl; she hadn't had chicken soup in a long time.
But when I was drinking chicken soup, I couldn't help but think of Lin Anyuan. Didn't he drink it?
...
...
"Lin Anyuan, your wife is having an affair at home!"
Lin Anyuan entered the village, intending to deliver something to Granny Wu, when he heard the shout and his eyes instantly turned sharp.
"Are you trying to kill yourself? What if he gets angry and kills you?"
A woman hurriedly pulled her husband inside and closed the door.
Lin Anyuan frowned, quickened his pace, and decided to go home first.
"Lin Anyuan."
Chu Xiujie jumped down from the tree. "I've been looking for you for a long time."
Lin Anyuan stopped in his tracks.
She looked him up and down, and when she saw the dusty ring on his hand, her expression changed instantly. "You really took the thing!"
"You mean this? I found this in the mountains. So this is why you were following me. Since it's yours, then return it to its rightful owner." Lin Anyuan calmly took it down and handed it to Chu Xiujie.
Chu Xiujie took it and examined it carefully; it was indeed the lost keepsake.
What's so special about this? It came to me without any effort at all?
Or perhaps Lin Anyuan specifically wore it on his wrist intending to return it to him?
"Interested in working for me?" Chu Xiujie looked at Lin Anyuan and suddenly became interested in this stunningly handsome man.
He didn't lay a hand on Wang Dachui, and it's highly likely that he was the one who saved Wang Dachui.
"Follow you to kill and set fires?" Lin Anyuan frowned.
Even when a good-looking person frowns, they still look good.
Chu Xiujie chuckled. "Have you never killed anyone? Was I seeing things that day?"
"Someone tried to kill me, but I killed them instead. It's the law of the jungle, what's wrong with that?" Lin Anyuan looked at Chu Xiujie calmly.
If he makes a move now, he has a good chance of winning.
Chu Xiujie nodded. "That's right, I'll let you think about it..."
"Damn it, you want to kill me!"
