Wang Sanni only took a small portion of the finished chestnut cake to the old house, and left most of the rest with Jiang Wanwan, saying that she would come back to get it tomorrow.
She wanted to go back to her parents' home. Her brother had asked her to learn how to make chestnut cake from Jiang Wanwan and even gave her money to buy sugar and chestnuts. Now that the chestnut cake was made, of course she wanted to take it back for her parents to try.
Also, Jiang Wanwan has finished eating her chestnuts and wants some more, so she wants to see if her fourth brother can get them for her.
Although she was skeptical about how Jiang Wanwan could finish so many chestnuts so quickly, Wang Sanni didn't ask any further questions.
This is her sister-in-law's private matter. They are already making a profit by providing her with chestnuts, so why should they interfere in other people's private affairs? This is also what her fourth brother told her when he left.
At night, Jiang Wanwan was about to enter the two-bedroom apartment when she heard a splash in the yard. Through the glass, she saw a sneaky figure under the courtyard wall. Jiang Wanwan knew it was the gangster without even thinking, after all, the position where he jumped down had not changed.
Speaking of which, Erhunzi is an interesting guy. He looks like a weird person, but he is always very cautious every time he comes to see her, for fear that others will see him and it will have a bad influence on Jiang Wanwan. I don’t know if he is really scared.
But no matter how cautious she was, every time Jiang Wanwan jumped over the wall in the middle of the night, she felt a headache.
"Grandma..."
The second gangster came to the door, called out politely, lowered his head slightly, and didn't dare to look around.
With this attitude, he has the potential to be a father-in-law.
Fortunately, they don't interact frequently.
Jiang Wanwan gave him the freshly made chestnut cake and gave him a cut of the money she had earned from previous sales. Even though this had happened twice before, Erhunzi still couldn't believe it. He was just helping to sell some things and would earn a few cents each time.
You know, he usually worked in the brigade just to get work points. It was good enough if he didn't owe the brigade leader any money at the end of the year. There was no time for him to get any money at all.
When he needed money, he would take his food rations and sell them on the black market. When his food rations were gone, he would borrow money from here and there. If he couldn't borrow money, he would just starve. Otherwise, people would not give him the nickname of a second-rate gangster.
Now that he has a regular income, Erhunzi is not only in awe of Jiang Wanwan, but also grateful to her.
"Don't worry, Auntie. I will do my best and will never ruin your business."
"Okay, that's it for now. You don't need to come until this basket is sold. I'll let you know when I need it."
This wasn't a solution. Jiang Wanwan wondered if she could tell Lu Xiao about this when he came back, and she was also thinking about the chestnuts on Wang Sihai's side.
Let's wait and see. Maybe after a while, the raw materials will run out and she won't have to sell chestnut cakes anymore.
On the other side, Wang Sihai ate a piece of sweet and soft chestnut cake. When he heard that Jiang Wanwan wanted some more chestnuts, he went out.
Wang Sanni knew that he had gone to help find chestnuts, after all, she knew the number of chestnuts at home. But when Wang Sihai was about to go with her to the Red Star Brigade to deliver chestnuts to Jiang Wanwan, he fell into deep thought when he looked at the half bag of chestnuts on the wheelbarrow.
"Fourth brother, isn't this a bit too much?" It's impossible for my sister-in-law to eat so many chestnuts by herself.
It can’t be eaten as a meal.
Wang Sihai didn't explain much. He put Xiao Qingqing on the wheelbarrow and pushed it on the road.
Jiang Wanwan really didn't care about the number of chestnuts. These things were easy to store, not to mention that she had a two-bedroom apartment, which could be used as a refrigerator to keep food fresh.
As for the price, there is no need to worry. Chestnut cake and mung bean cake are sold at the same price, but the former has a much lower cost than the latter.
Chestnuts are cheaper than mung beans, are sweeter, and use less sugar. Even if Jiang Wanwan buys chestnuts at this price, she will not lose money at all.
After settling the bill with Wang Sihai and just about to invite the siblings to have lunch at home, he saw Du Jiaming carrying two buckets of water into the yard.
"Xiao Wan, I know it's inconvenient for you to fetch water at home alone, so I'll come over and fetch a few buckets for you."
The familiar and warm look made Jiang Wanwan's face suddenly darken.
She thought he would learn his lesson last time, but she didn't expect Du Jiaming to really refresh her cognition and let her see how shameless he was.
Seeing that there were other people in the yard, Du Jiaming didn't care. He just saw that Wang Sihai was a stranger and a man, so he had some opinions about Jiang Wanwan.
No matter what, Jiang Wanwan is a married woman. She invites strange men into the yard when Lu Xiao is not at home. Even if he looks down on Lu Xiao, he still thinks this is inappropriate.
But it’s a good thing that she married Lu Xiao instead of me, otherwise if something like this happened to me, I would have to have a good talk about it.
"Du Zhiqing, you've come to the wrong place. This is not the Zhiqing site. If you want to fetch water, go back to your Zhiqing site." Jiang Wanwan directly drove him away.
Du Jiaming had already walked into the yard, not minding her cold words at all. "I picked it for you. We went to the countryside together, and you are in trouble now. Even if we are comrades, it is only natural for us to help each other. You don't have to be polite with me."
Jiang Wanwan directly pulled out a wooden stick from the pile of firewood. If you can't understand something, you have to use force.
Without waiting for Jiang Wanwan to greet him, Wang Sihai stood in front of Du Jiaming.
Although Wang Sihai is young and looks quite thin, a man who does farm work all day is lean and strong. He only needs to press down the carrying pole with one hand and Du Jiaming can't move.
"Didn't you hear what my little sister Wan said? She doesn't need your help," and then he pushed Du Jiaming, who couldn't help but take two steps back.
The two buckets of water also lost their balance, swayed left and right, and fell to the ground with a "clang", splashing cold water all over Du Jiaming.
The reason why Du Jiaming could pretend to be Jiang Wanwan's grandson was because he had something to ask of Jiang Wanwan. Facing the boy in front of him, he had no intention of being polite.
Especially since this guy was helping Jiang Wanwan, who was he to her? No matter what, he shouldn't be closer to her than a childhood friend, so why would he help her?
Du Jiaming felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart and pointed at Wang Sihai and asked, "Xiao Wan, who is he?"
Jiang Wanwan directly hit the hand with the stick, "I told you not to call me Xiaowan. Who he is is none of your business."
"How can it be okay? When we went to the countryside, Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang asked me to take good care of you. Even if you have any misunderstandings about me, would Uncle Jiang and the others harm you? I really just want to help you."
Du Jiaming looked sincere and Jiang Wanwan suddenly smiled.
"Du Jiaming, you suddenly come to me like a scoundrel, bringing me bacon and helping me with chores. Even when I hit you and scold you, you don't fight back. Is there something you want to ask of me?"
Today he actually used her parents to pressure her again.
Du Jiaming looked at the mockery in her eyes and suddenly felt a chill on his back. She actually guessed it?
Based on his understanding of Jiang Wanwan, she shouldn't have thought of this, and she never cared about these things.
"Xiao... Jiang Zhiqing, why do you think so?"
Seeing the stick in Jiang Wanwan's hand, Du Jiaming swallowed back the name he was about to spit out. He took a step back and asked her with a wry smile.
"Is this how I look to you? I told you I respect your choice and I even helped you regardless of you marrying Lu Xiao. Do you hate me so much?"
