After they left and got back into the car, Zhang Junan opened the lunchboxes and saw what was inside.
One of them contained a large pork knuckle, so much so that the meat was removed and placed in the empty space next to it. It was sprinkled with scallions and had broth at the bottom. You only need to buy a serving of rice to pour it over the knuckle and eat it.
A full serving, not cheap.
In another lunchbox was a dish of braised fish with scallions, which was sweet and sour. Xia Anyan loved it and ordered it both times they went.
Unexpectedly, the shop owner noticed and packed them another one, along with some blanched green vegetables, which were placed in a box next to them.
The third one didn't contain any food, but instead contained a small box and a letter.
The group exchanged glances, opened the envelope, and saw densely packed words.
The letter was filled with seven or eight pages of writing, all of which were recipes.
"This...we can't accept it!" Zhang Junan said, intending to return it to the person who gave it to them.
Before we even got off the bus, we saw a large group of people heading towards that alley.
Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats.
Xia Anyan and Gu's mother got out of the car, holding hands, pretending to be passing by.
Just as they had guessed.
Xia Anyan pursed her lips, her expression somewhat unpleasant.
Gu's mother was also feeling heavy-hearted. She tugged at Xia Anyan's arm and forcibly took her away.
"Ayan, you can't act impulsively. Given our current status, it's not appropriate for us to get involved in this matter openly."
Gu's mother whispered her advice, afraid that Xia Anyan would confront those people head-on.
Because of the Qian family's matter, they've already clashed with the people there, and that Deputy Director Jin is still not out.
If these people are related to Kim In-bong, wouldn't that be a perfect coincidence?
That would be bad for both them and Gu Shen.
"Mom, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Xia Anyan patted Gu's mother's hand to comfort her.
But deep down, I still felt a little sad.
The two approached the car. Seeing them like this, Old Master Xia's expression darkened, and he lowered his voice, saying, "Is it...?"
Xia Anyan nodded, stopping him from saying what he was about to say.
The current situation is that if they don't intervene, the couple is very likely to be in trouble.
But if they actually take action, even more people will suffer.
After some hesitation, Zhang Junan got out of the car and said, "Ayan, you drive back to the guesthouse first. Leave things here to me."
"If I haven't returned by nightfall tonight, go find Captain Gong and Captain Han."
He didn't even need to explain; Xia Anyan already knew what Zhang Junan meant.
They were to tell those two people that Zhang Junan was an ingrate who had absconded with the money.
This means removing them.
Unfortunately, they are not that kind of people.
Moreover, they will definitely not let anything happen to Zhang Junan.
Grandpa Xia slapped him on the head: "You brat, I haven't even said anything yet, what do you mean by saying this now? Don't you want to take care of me in my old age? Or are you getting tired of serving me?"
"You little rascal, I think you just need a beating. I've gotten old and my health isn't what it used to be, so if I don't beat you up, you're itching for a beating, aren't you?"
Zhang Junan's eyes reddened from being scolded by the old man.
"father……"
"Shut up!" Old Master Xia said in a deep voice. "You remember this, I'm not heartless either. This isn't something you can do by standing up for yourself!"
“We’re family, we should be together in everything. Why are you trying to figure things out all by yourself?”
Looking at the old man, Zhang Junan felt a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe.
His lips trembled, but no sound came out. Finally, he nodded.
The group quickly communicated, figured out what to do next, and then began to take action.
When Zhang Junan came in, he could still hear the clattering of tables and chairs.
He looked in the direction of the sound and his eyes met those of the couple.
Upon seeing Zhang Jun'an return, the man was somewhat shocked: "You...you didn't leave?"
"It's too dangerous here. You shouldn't have come here. You should leave now." The man waved at him, trying to get him to leave quickly.
He deliberately kept his voice down, afraid that the people at the door would hear him.
Zhang Junan didn't explain, but instead helped them pack their things.
"Hiding things is useless; they have to be thrown away. Besides, this place isn't that big; where are you going to hide them?"
“I just noticed that the wall over there is quite low, you guys…” He looked around and saw several large baskets, “Put them all in here, I’ll take them out together later.”
"And these tables and chairs, just keep one table and four chairs. As for the stove inside, make it a bit messy, just pretend it hasn't been used in a long time."
Zhang Junan tidied up as he spoke, moving very quickly.
The couple didn't know what to do either, so they could only listen to him.
The knocking grew more urgent, and Zhang Junan quickly dragged his things to the backyard.
There was no back door, so he could only stack the tables and benches and send the dishes out first.
Fortunately, Mr. Gu and Grandpa Xia were already waiting here.
They caught it below, and the item was not damaged.
Next came the tables, chairs, benches, and other items, all of which were delivered one by one.
"You two go pack your things and leave. We probably can't stay here any longer. As for the house, we'll talk about it later."
This is the only solution they can think of right now.
Otherwise, once those people come in and say a few words, they might have to leave the farm.
"Thank you, thank you so much, comrade, but... won't this get you into trouble?"
The boss held Zhang Junan's hand, which was trembling slightly, and he also felt very uncomfortable.
He doesn't know what to do if he really implicates others.
"Stop thinking about it and just leave. If you don't want anything to happen, do as I say!"
After helping the person onto the wall, he took a basket from Gu's father and deftly dumped all the garbage inside into the dining room in front.
Once he had almost finished dealing with the situation, he quickly ran towards the top of the wall.
At that moment, the people outside couldn't wait any longer and started kicking the door open.
This door is made of wood, and two bolts are not enough to stop it.
After only a few attempts, the door latch was kicked off.
"Damn, what's that smell? It's so stinky!"
One of the members, as soon as he came in, covered his nose and started cursing.
After they saw what was inside, they were dumbfounded.
"What... what's going on?"
