Chapter 185 What
"If you eat it, go and have someone else cook it. It's inconvenient to start a fire on the carriage, so we won't bother cooking it on your carriage."
Ye Wan told Er Ya to finish eating and then switch people. It wasn't because it was inconvenient; she had a lot of things stored in her spatial storage, and it would be difficult to explain if she took too many things out.
Fortunately, the modified carriage was convenient. She loaded things herself, and occasionally took something out, so Lin Anyuan wouldn't suspect her.
"Okay, Mother, I'll have my aunt and great-aunt come over right away." Er Ya quickly finished her noodles and left.
Lin Anyuan sat to the side cooking noodles, letting Ye Wan rest.
The elderly couple had finished cooking, and Lin Anyuan delivered it to them.
Out of respect for the gold bracelet, I also gave a bowl to the two siblings.
The main thing is that these two people are useful.
"Brother, noodles!"
Li Er's mouth watered just looking at the noodles. There were pickled cucumbers on top, and he wondered how they were made, since the cucumbers were still bright green even in the dead of winter.
And the pastries from last time, she took a bite and they were so delicious, even better than the pastries from Su Ji.
That girl is so pretty, and her cooking is even better. I wish I could become her sister-in-law.
After thinking for a moment, Li Er immediately shook his head. What was she thinking?
When that handsome man finds out, he'll definitely chop her into mincemeat.
She only just found out that the two were husband and wife.
"You traded the gold bracelet your mother left you for food?" Li Da looked at the noodles with a bad expression.
That was her dowry left to her by her mother; after all they'd been through, that was the only valuable thing they had left.
Li Er's eyes darted away. "I asked to exchange it myself. It was originally travel money, and I felt it was worth it. They saved us, so we can't just eat and drink for free."
"You! That's yours... Never mind, you eat first."
Li Da felt that since the change had already been made, there was no point in saying anything more.
"Brother, you eat!"
"You finish eating the top part, and I'll eat the bottom part. I can't eat much anyway."
The brother and sister politely offered to each other, and finally finished the bowl of noodles. Even after eating, they still felt they hadn't had enough.
It was so delicious. I wonder if it's because they haven't had noodles in so long.
"Dr. Song, could you please take another look at my brother?" Li Er went and fetched the doctor again.
"After taking three more doses of medicine, you should be able to walk again. Eat and drink more so you have the strength to recover."
After giving instructions, the doctor left the medicine and departed.
The carriage swayed and wobbled forward.
Before we knew it, it was the Lantern Festival.
Lanterns were hung up early in Ganzhou City, and glutinous rice balls were already being sold on the streets, with small vendors hawking their wares as they went from street to street.
This was the first New Year after King Jing occupied Ganzhou, and it was even more lively than in previous years.
A woman wearing patched clothes was standing at the door of a house.
"How many times have I told you? My husband is out, he's not home. Can't you understand what I'm saying?"
Butler Lin felt he had been polite enough; if it were any other family, they would have beaten this woman away with a big stick long ago.
From New Year's Eve to the fifteenth, he came to see his master every day, as if he couldn't understand human speech.
Her husband is handsome and attracts attention, but this woman is far too unreserved.
Although the sun was shining today, it was very cold, and Jiang Lian'er was shivering. "How could this be? I clearly saw him before the New Year. Does he not want to see me?"
"Do you... still resent me?"
She thought that after their reunion, she would soon see Lin Anyuan again, but so much time has passed and she has not seen him a second time.
Lin Anyuan must remember her, otherwise why would he have helped her out of that predicament?
He probably still remembers what happened back then, which is why he's deliberately avoiding her. But back then... she had no choice.
After she left, she met Hu San, but life wasn't much better. Hu San was arrested, and only recently have her life improved.
"What good would it do me to lie to you? Why does my master resent you? Why can't you understand human language?" Butler Lin was speechless.
Who do you think you are, to deserve the master's resentment? I've never seen such a troublesome person.
There are plenty of women who want to see their master, but this one is just plain stupid.
"You don't even say who you are to my master. If he comes back, I can help you pass on messages. You just keep looking for my master. He's busy too, he doesn't have time to waste with you!"
Butler Lin was about to close the door when Jiang Lian'er panicked.
"Butler, butler, wait a minute! If Lin Anyuan comes back, please tell him I've come to see him!"
Unfortunately, the door was already closed, and Jiang Lian'er walked home dejectedly.
I ran into my neighbor as soon as I got to my front door.
"Lian'er, where have you been? It seems your Hu San has been released."
Jiang Lian'er was shocked to hear this. "He was released? How could he have been released!"
Shouldn't he be locked up in jail? Why was he released?
The neighbor thought she was happy. "Yes, she didn't do anything too serious. She was just given a lesson and then released. I guess she'll turn over a new leaf this time. You should go home now and live a good life with your husband from now on."
"Look at you lately, you've been so absent-minded, you must be worried about your man, right? Now you don't have to worry anymore, you two are a perfect couple..."
Jiang Lian'er suddenly retorted, "Who said he and I are a couple? I'm not!"
The neighbor looked at her in surprise. "Lian'er, are you alright?"
Jiang Lian'er realized what was happening, muttered something under her breath, and went into her own home.
"Lian'er, where have you been all this New Year? The stove is cold and you haven't even cooked a meal. Hurry up and cook something, I'm starving!"
Hu San, who reeked of sourness, ran out of the kitchen and looked at Jiang Lian'er with the eyes of a wolf eyeing meat. He hadn't seen a woman in half a month in prison.
"You, you... what do you want to do?"
Jiang Lian'er instinctively backed away in fear.
Hu San looked her up and down. "Don't worry, I've reformed and won't hit you again. Hurry up and go make some food, I'm starving!"
"Okay, I'll go." Jiang Lian'er said as she walked towards the kitchen.
Hu San spat at Jiang Lian'er's retreating figure.
That old hag, she's still his woman no matter what, and she thinks she can run away? Dream on!
At worst, he won't hit anyone. What kind of stupid new law is this?
...
...
Ye Wan jumped down from the carriage, feeling her bones cracking.
If she hadn't been in good physical condition, sitting in the carriage for the past two weeks would have ruined her life.
"What? We're almost there?" Sanya asked Lin Anyuan anxiously. "Dad, is it true?"
Lin Anyuan pointed to the west, "Do you see that ahead? That's Ganzhou."
The old man stretched his old arms and legs, saying, "We had a safe journey and didn't encounter any trouble along the way."
"You jinx, what else do you expect to encounter?"
No sooner had Aunt Cai finished speaking than dust billowed up ahead—someone was coming.
