Upon hearing this, Su Hua couldn't help but curl her lips slightly, "What's this about liking or disliking? Scholar Feng has only sent something to my Su family once in all these years. Even a blade of grass would be precious now."
The veiled and open sarcastic remarks made Feng Zicai feel somewhat uneasy.
Now that Xiaohua has become smarter, her little mouth is absolutely sharp.
However, he hadn't sent her a single blade of grass in the past ten years. The white sugar cake he sent a few days ago happened to be the one she disliked the most, so it was only right that she mocked him. As long as she was still willing to give him a chance, that was already a very good thing. Thinking of this, the man quickly smiled.
"Don't worry, Xiaohua. I was misled before and trusted the wrong person, which caused so many misunderstandings between us. But don't worry, from now on, if you want anything, just tell me, and I will find it for you even if I have to go to the ends of the earth, okay?"
Su Hua looked up and saw that affectionate look on his face, then smiled innocently.
"OK."
Going to the underworld is good.
After she finished laughing, she opened the food drawer with a hint of longing that a young girl should have.
The food drawer was square. When opened, a small dish of boiled shrimp, about twelve or thirteen in total, each about the size of a finger, was placed in the center. Next to the shrimp were two lonely crabs. There seemed to be a heat-insulating container at the bottom of the drawer, and wisps of steam were rising from the shrimp and crabs.
However, Su Hua only glanced at it before her face fell, and then she closed the food tray and pushed it into Feng Zicai's hands.
"What's wrong..." The man asked uncertainly, seeing her attitude change so quickly, "Is it because the boiled shrimp and crab didn't suit your taste?"
When he went to Tianxianglou to buy shrimp with his silver, he learned that there were different types: boiled, braised, and stir-fried.
He didn't even know what Xiaohua liked to eat before, let alone how strong or weak the flavor was. He thought he would buy some blanched food and if Xiaohua didn't like it, he could ask the family to add some chili and cook it again.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the question was asked, the girl gave a cold smile, her porcelain-white face full of disdain, "It's been so many years, does Scholar Feng not even know my appetite?"
The two or three shrimp in this food drawer aren't even enough to fill a gap between my teeth. Scholar Feng has come here today specifically to tease me!
I have a lot going on at home, so goodbye.
Feng Zicai was so embarrassed by what he was told that the scars on his face from being scratched by Xiao Hei and Da Bai looked even more grotesque. He hurriedly grabbed Su Hua's sleeve, "No, it's not like that..."
Xiao Hua, I would never make fun of you.
I am, I am…
He opened his mouth, speechless, and swallowed the words "not enough money" that were about to come out.
No man would complain about being poor in front of a woman he likes.
Yesterday, he and Meng Fu won thirty taels at the gambling den, and each of them received fifteen taels, which was not a small amount. However, at Tianxiang Restaurant, they could only buy a small plate of shrimp and two crabs.
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Su Hua coldly pulled out her sleeve and said, "Since Scholar Feng has something he can't say, then let it go."
"No, there's nothing I can't say in front of Xiaohua!" Feng Zicai looked at his empty hands with some disappointment.
The desire to make money grew even stronger.
He pursed his lips, a hint of tenderness in his eyes, "I just didn't know if Xiaohua liked shrimp and crab today, so I only bought a little of each."
Why don't you eat these shrimp and crab first?
"When I have a little more money in a couple of days, I'll buy you even more seafood, okay?"
This was the first time Su Hua had ever seen someone who liked to put on a show of wealth when he was not rich. The words "not having money" seemed to him to be something shameful.
Hearing this, she smiled and asked with some curiosity, "You'll be well-off in a couple of days. Could it be that Scholar Feng has found some good way to make money?"
Or perhaps it's because Scholar Feng is to marry into the Meng family, and Meng Yongfu has already agreed to transfer his family business to you as a dowry?
"Xiao Hua, what are you saying! My relationship with the Meng family is nothing more than that of fellow villagers. You mustn't make jokes like that again." Feng Zicai was rendered speechless by his constant use of the title "Feng Xiucai" (a respectful term for a scholar).
Now, he feels nothing but disgust for Meng Yun'er, not a shred of joy.
Let alone marrying into the Meng family, he would never marry a woman like Meng Yun'er, who has ruined her reputation and lost her chastity.
Su Hua smiled enigmatically, "If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but once I've earned enough money, I'll definitely tell you in detail." Feng Zicai shook his head. "But don't worry, Xiao Hua, I'll definitely earn enough money in the future. You can eat shrimp if you want, and crab if you want. We'll just throw away what we can't finish. I'll do whatever makes you happy!"
Su Hua glanced at the man's expression.
If one didn't know this person well enough, looking at his confident demeanor, one might actually believe that he was deeply devoted to his country.
"Anyone can say nice things, but let's talk about it after we've done it."
After saying that, she ignored him.
He carried the food tray back to his own courtyard.
After the man disappeared at the end of the village, he poured all the shrimp and crabs from the food tray into the three cat and dog bowls in the corner of the yard. Finally, he threw the food tray into the stove to burn as firewood.
When they came out, they saw Xiao Hei circling the rice bowl once, and then returning to the apple tree with a disappointed look on its face.
Su Hua: "..."
Sure enough, belated affection is utterly useless; even a dog would reject it!
As Feng Zicai walked along the narrow path, his handsome face was full of joy, and he even walked with a brisk pace.
The fact that Xiaohua accepted the shrimp and crab he gave her today means that she is willing to give him a chance to start over. As long as she gives him even a little bit of a chance, he will definitely be able to make her fall in love with him again and return to the way she used to be, with eyes only for him.
Xiao Hua is now beautiful, and her family has a lucrative business. Moreover, when I returned to the village just now, I heard the villagers talking about how the Zaozhuang village in the neighboring village has fallen into Xiao Hua's hands.
Who doesn't know that Zaozhuang is the property of the prefect's eldest daughter?
The fact that Xiao Hua could play with the eldest daughter of the prefectural magistrate and win such a prize from her shows that she has a good relationship with the daughter of the Tangshan prefectural official.
Compared to Meng Yun'er, who lived in his house like a hermit crab, they were worlds apart.
Once they are together in the future, he can bring his mother back and help her manage the Zaozhuang and restaurant businesses. As well as Miss Liu, whom she knows, and the young master and young lady of the Qin family, they can all become great helpers in his career. Wealth and honor will be within his grasp.
If you came here with a 50% desire to make money in the gambling den, now it's 100%.
Xiao Hua, he's determined to have her.
