Chapter 198 The Consequences of Offending Him? (Long Chapter)
Meanwhile, in the lobby, Dean Xue and several others were also busy.
"Madam, why are you up? Jin'er and I will come to pick you up after we've gotten ready."
When Dean Xue saw the lady come out of the house, he immediately went over to greet her and helped her tighten her cloak.
"It's alright, didn't Doctor Jiang say that I can move around now?" Madam Xue smiled and looked outside, "How's the preparation going?"
"Mother, don't worry, it's almost done," Young Master Xue said with a smile.
"Has my piece of cloth been loaded?"
"Yes, yes, I put it on top of the carriage to prevent it from getting bumped or knocked over," Young Master Xue said with a smile.
“Don’t you trust our son to handle things? Please sit down and rest for a while,” Dean Xue said.
Madam Xue smiled and said, "I spent a long time choosing this fabric. This dark green color is not common. Doctor Jiang has fair skin, and she would look absolutely stunning in this color. It would be terrible if I forgot."
"You can rest assured," Young Master Xue replied with a smile. "Father just checked everything; all the fruits, snacks, tea, and wine he brought for Doctor Jiang are still there."
I even specially packed some writing materials for their child. Dr. Jiang told me that their eldest son has already enrolled in the academy. Who knows, maybe, by chance, her son will even be a student at our academy. I was too rushed last time and forgot to ask.”
"That's wonderful!" Madam Xue smiled broadly upon hearing this, gently patting Dean Xue's hand beside her. "If that's really the case, you must tell your husband to give them extra care. You might say things like 'treat everyone equally,' but Dr. Jiang doesn't think the same way."
Dean Xue was both amused and exasperated: "It's as if the children studying at my Gu Kui Academy would suffer any injustice! Besides, as you said, Doctor Jiang is my savior, and I am extremely grateful to him. No matter which academy that child attends, I can make an exception and personally teach him."
Madam Xue smiled and glanced at Dean Xue: "Alright, that's what you said."
Dean Xue: "Would I lie to you?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Xue smiled and said, "If Dr. Jiang hears this news, he will surely be happy. I will thank Dean Xue on Dr. Jiang's behalf."
Upon hearing this, Dean Xue puffed out his chest and said, "Well, it also depends on whether her child has the talent. We'll find out today when we go and take a look."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Madam, please don't say that yet. Let me see how their child is doing. If he really isn't up to par, I won't teach him myself."
"I know, with Dr. Jiang's character, how could the child be bad? He might not even look down on you!" Madam Xue said, giving him a reproachful look, then smilingly looked at her son: "Jin'er, I don't trust your father. Go and check again to see if there's anything I've missed."
Young Master Xue smiled and nodded, then reluctantly went to order the food himself: "Mother, there are no mistakes, so please don't worry."
Madam Xue nodded: "That's good, that's good. Quick, let's get in the carriage. We can't be too late when we visit someone's home."
"Oh, by the way, where are your two uncles?"
Young Master Xue frowned upon hearing about his two uncles: "I wonder where they went. They saw me early this morning and then sneaked away. I wonder what they're up to."
"You silly child," Madam Xue lightly patted his arm, "You mustn't be rude to your uncles. Send someone to tell them to let them eat on their own today."
Young Master Xue nodded reluctantly: "Don't worry. Uncle Wang will handle it."
The old servant behind her immediately nodded: "Madam, please rest assured, I will go shortly."
Madam Xue then boarded the carriage with peace of mind.
Jiang Nuanzhi was busy working at a feverish pace.
She's preparing a big feast today, and the ingredients are piled up all over the kitchen.
"Anuan, all the vegetables are chopped."
Li Rong brought over a huge wooden tray with various dishes on it.
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced back, paused for a moment, then took the bowl and handed it to him with a smile: "Help me chop up this chicken. And help me prepare the fish over there too."
Li Rong nodded seriously and replied, "Okay." Then he turned around and went back to work.
It has to be said that someone like Li Rong, who has practiced martial arts, is incredibly useful for chopping vegetables!
The shredded radish, cabbage, and potato were all cut perfectly evenly. The wood ear mushrooms and other mushrooms were also sliced evenly, and the ginger slices, scallion slices, and garlic slices were all neatly arranged. Seeing this made Jiang Nuanzhi feel completely comfortable.
However, Li Rong's role as a kitchen helper has some drawbacks. The main one is his lack of initiative.
For example, he only knows what to do next when Jiang Nuanzhi gives him instructions. If Jiang Nuanzhi doesn't give any orders, he just stands there dumbfounded in the kitchen, looking like a silly goose.
In short, this assistant is very useful. Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and gave Li Rong, who was washing fish, a thumbs up, and then said to the waiter, "Waiter, turn up the heat, I'm going to start cooking."
"Okay, okay." The waiter was so busy that sweat beaded on his forehead. Taking advantage of a break in the hot oil, Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't help but reach out and pinch the waiter's cheek, then picked up a piece of crispy fried pork from earlier and fed it to him.
The waiter's eyes lit up immediately: "Thank you, Ah Nuan."
Then, he took the piece of meat and ate it in small bites, as if he didn't want to finish it.
Jiang Nuanzhi poked his forehead: "There's still plenty left after you finish eating, just eat yours."
The waiter grinned sheepishly, took a large bite of meat, but still didn't finish it.
Jiang Nuanzhi shook her head with amusement, muttered "Silly boy," and then started cooking.
"Hey, kid Li, what did this fish ever do to you? You've gutted it several times already!"
The old man squatted down in front of Li Rong, watching him prepare the fish. He couldn't help but ask.
Li Rong snapped out of his daze, coughed lightly, immediately dropped the fish in his hand, and went to prepare the next one.
"When are we going to eat?" the old man grumbled somewhat discontentedly.
Li Rong withdrew her gaze from Jiang Nuanzhi and Xiao Er, and glanced back at him: "Don't worry, it will be about the same when the Dean and Ping'er return."
Speaking of the dean, the old man immediately gritted his teeth: "That idle swindler, he said he would teach Ping'er, but I see him making Ping'er work all day long, and the child has gotten so tanned these past two days!"
After thinking for a moment, he became furious again and suddenly stood up: "I see him eating and sleeping all day long, he's just here to swindle and cheat us! And Ah Nuan still trusts him. She even wants to throw him some kind of apprenticeship banquet! Hey, Li boy, let's figure out a way to get rid of him, shall we?"
Upon hearing this, Li Rong's eyes flickered slightly, but the next second he immediately frowned and said righteously, "How can you think like that? Anuan has her reasons for doing things, and of course I will listen to Anuan. I advise you to put aside these petty thoughts. Men should always be more magnanimous."
The old man was taken aback: "Hey, that's not what you said before."
What did you say before?
The next second, Jiang Nuanzhi peeked out from behind. She pointed two fingers at her eyes, then at the old man, and warned, "I'm keeping an eye on you. Dean Yue has been teaching Ping'er very well these days. Don't try anything funny! If I find out, you can forget about eating my cooking again."
The old man choked, then gave a dry laugh: "How could that be? Just kidding. Hehe, just kidding."
Jiang Nuanzhi nodded, took the chicken pieces that Li Rong had chopped, smiled at Li Rong, and turned to leave.
The moment she left, the old man gritted his teeth and glared at Li Rong: "You traitor!"
Li Rong shrugged and immediately picked up the fish basin and left, saying, "Anuan, I've already prepared the fish."
The old man gritted his teeth in anger: "The world is going to the dogs! After I finish this meal, I'm never putting up with this humiliation again!"
At this moment, Xiao Baozhu blinked her innocent big eyes: "Grandpa Jing, you've said this fifteen, eighteen, sixteen times in the past three days!"
Little Baozhu counted on her fingers, frowned, and said, "Anyway, I've said it a lot, a lot of times."
Hearing this, he was so angry that he puffed out his beard and glared at her. He reached out and poked Baozhu's little forehead: "Silly girl, in the future, if you can't explain something clearly, just say it many times, understand?"
Baozhu listened and nodded seriously: "Oh, I understand."
The old man sighed sadly, "Alas, how can this family function without me?"
"Alright then." Xinbo squatted down behind him, imitating the old man, and sighed melancholically.
The old man's lips twitched. "Can you even learn the whole sentence?"
Xinbo: "All."
The old man: "."
He said, "This family will fall apart without me. Wouldn't I be swindled out of everything?"
Just then, a commotion was heard outside.
The old man frowned and looked towards the door. The next second, he heard a loud bang.
Immediately afterwards, two fat, big-eared men led a group of people, striding arrogantly and grandly into the courtyard.
"Jiang Pangya, get out here right now!"
As Zheng Da spoke, he kicked over the basket by the door, his face full of arrogance.
Jiang Nuanzhi raised her head and looked at the wooden door at the entrance, which they had trampled into pieces.
The old man had spent a lot of effort and time just a few days ago to finally install that wooden door, albeit with great difficulty. He was very proud of it and showed it off to the family every day.
However, it's now completely trampled and looks unusable.
For a moment, she gave Zheng Da and Zheng Er a strange look: "You two cowards, are you healed? What's wrong with you? I'm right here, how am I supposed to get out?"
She thought to herself, "I was cooking outside, I didn't go inside."
When Zheng Da looked at Jiang Nuanzhi's face, he vaguely realized that she seemed to have become even more beautiful than before. His gaze lingered on her for a moment.
But the next second, he realized that her fists were clenched so tightly they were cracking. Almost instinctively, Zheng Da thought of some painful memories, and his face turned pale with fright. He took several steps back.
For a moment, all the servants who had come with him looked at Zheng Da with confusion.
Zheng Da suddenly realized that he was actually afraid of this young woman, even though he had brought more than twenty men with him today! He immediately raised his head and overturned the wooden tray of vegetables next to Jiang Nuanzhi: "Today I'll show you the consequences of messing with me!"
