Just because Chaoge cared so much about him, he couldn't continue to be stupid.
Seeing Yunchang wanting to stay with her and not wanting to leave, Ruan Qing became anxious.
"Really? Are you really not going to leave? I'm a widow, and you've only been here for two days, and I've already been spoken of so harshly by my neighbors. If you continue to stay here, will I still be able to stay in this village in the future?"
"Alas, I...I...I have no money on me. When I feel better, I will go out to work and won't trouble you anymore."
Hearing Yunchang's words, Ruan Qing was so shocked that his mouth opened wide!
She looked Yunchang up and down in disbelief, and couldn't believe that these words would come from Yunchang's mouth.
"Who are you trying to fool? If you don't have any money, then all of us will be poor. Don't forget that you were generous in your help the last two times we met!
By the way, don’t you have a younger brother in the capital? Your younger brother is obviously a scholar, and he generously gave me a hundred taels of silver without blinking an eye. How dare you tell me that you don’t have money?”
Facing Ruan Qing's tight pressure, Yun Chang sat down directly on the bench, "I, I ran away from home, it's not convenient for me to go back now."
He simply laid his cards on the table. After all, this woman had shamelessly extorted money from him before, so they should all be shameless together!
Ruan Qing!
After being shocked, Ruan Qing looked at Yunchang's tall and strong appearance and became even more angry.
"You are so old, and you are still running away from home. Who are you running away for? Didn't your wife run away with another man? Are you running away for your brother to see?"
Although Ruan Qing's words were unintentional, every word was so sharp that Yunchang couldn't raise his head and his ears were burning.
He was not leaving to show off to anyone, he just felt that what he had done was too shameful to face Chaoge. He didn't know if Chaoge was looking for him everywhere now?
He still hoped that Chaoge would never look for him. Anyway, he was not her biological father, and he had not done what an adoptive father should do. He didn't want to cause trouble for Chaoge.
"Okay, okay, forget it. If you don't leave, I can't do anything about it. How about this, do you want me to help you contact your family? Let them know you're safe?
I don't have the time to chat with you anymore. After lunch, I have to go into the city. If I miss the oxcart into the city, I won't be able to carry such heavy goods."
"Reporting safety?"
Hearing Ruan Qing's words, Yunchang murmured softly. After hesitating for a while, he asked Yinyin to help him find paper and pen.
Yin Yin's father used to be a scholar. If he hadn't been a scholar, Ruan Qing wouldn't have been deceived by his stupid mouth when he was young and ignorant.
When Ruan Qing prepared the meal and brought it out and placed it on the square table, Yunchang handed her a letter.
"Little Dove, in person?"
Looking at the name on the envelope, Ruan Qing was surprised.
"Can you read?"
"Of course! I once... Never mind. A wise man never brags about his past achievements.
By the way, is this little pigeon the name of your brother?"
"No, you can help me deliver it to Dongcheng Street, Furong Hotpot City, and give it to their shopkeeper or accountant."
"Ah? Furong Hotpot City, is it yours? It's the most popular restaurant in Beijing this year! That business..."
Having said this, Ruan Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, a flattering smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Yunchang meaningfully.
Yun Chang already knew a little about how cunning this woman was. When he saw Ruan Qing's look, he subconsciously became alert.
"If you want to say something, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush."
Hearing Yunchang's words, the smile on Ruan Qing's face grew even bigger!
"Are you familiar with the owner of that hot pot restaurant?"
Yun Chang was about to shake his head when Ruan Qing hurriedly spoke up again, "Don't tell me you two are not familiar with each other. If you are not familiar with each other, why did you ask me to deliver the letter to report your safety?"
"So what do you want to say?"
Yunchang also became impatient. At this moment, he felt that Ruan Qing was plotting against him.
"I don't have any bad intentions. Can you please sell my roast goose to that hot pot restaurant?"
Sure enough, this woman's heart and eyes are full of money.
Yunchang looked at Ruan Qing, who didn't seem to be making things difficult for him, with a look of disgust on his face, but deep down, he still admired this woman, Ruan Qing.
He is filial and kind, at least he is a person with a conscience. Not only that, he is also a person who works hard to live.
To a certain extent, Yun Chang saw the shadow of his former Yun family in Ruan Qing.
"As you can see, we don't even have an acre of land. Now I have to rely on my stall to earn food for my family of three.
I set up a stall and if business was good, I could only sell thirty or forty roast geese a day. After deducting the cost and condiments, I could only earn a dozen coins for each roast goose. At the end of the day, I would earn six or seven hundred coins. But you also know how expensive things are in the capital. Even if I made one or two ounces of silver a day, our family still lived very poorly.
If you can help me talk to the owner of the hot pot restaurant, they can help me sell at least 50 more hot pots a day. In that case, can I earn more money and buy a few acres of land sooner?"
"I really can't help you with this matter. If there is a chance, I can introduce you to someone, but please don't make it difficult for me when it comes to pleading for you."
Hearing Yunchang say this, Ruan Qing's eyes curved with laughter. How could he ask for more?
After dinner, Ruan Qing carried more than twenty roast geese and went to the village entrance to take a bus into the city.
After she left, Yunchang was also wondering where to go.
Although his injuries were not serious, he would definitely not be able to withstand the wound if he did physical work now. But what else could he do besides doing physical work to earn some money?
Only with silver can he have money to go back? Even if he can't save enough money to go back to Lingfeng County in a short period of time, he still has to support himself, and when Ji Fan and his friends come to deliver the goods, he can go back with them.
In the afternoon, the neighbors became quiet. Yunchang took Yinyin to play in the yard and helped with some housework.
Mrs. Zhang was still busy under the eaves, muttering to herself, and seemed to enjoy talking, although Yunchang only responded to her occasionally.
In the evening, Yunchang wanted to go to the village entrance to pick up Ruan Qing. After all, he felt embarrassed to eat and drink for free in someone else's home. Unexpectedly, the door of Ruan Qing's house was suddenly slammed.
Yinyin thought it was her mother who came back, but when she happily went to open the gate, a large group of people rushed in!
