Chapter 42 She definitely wants you!
Seeing the two people with gloomy faces and furrowed brows, Jiang Nuanzhi felt a bit unlucky. She immediately stopped smiling, picked up her daughter, and turned around.
"See, I told you so, young master, she definitely did it on purpose." Ah Fu's eyes flashed as if he had caught something red-handed.
"She was just drooling over you and smiling at you, but as soon as she saw us come back, she immediately turned away and wouldn't look at us anymore. She must be playing tricks."
Xie Liangchen glanced over subconsciously, only to see Jiang Nuanzhi's back, and wondered, "Hmm?"
Afu nodded affirmatively and said, "Absolutely, I've figured it out. Even her sudden demand for the things I gave you a couple of days ago was definitely one of her tactics."
Now that she has somehow gained some opportunity and can actually cure diseases, she wants to completely change her image in your eyes. This includes the money she swindled from us before and her deliberate ignoring of you. All of this has only one purpose.
Xie Liangchen was stunned: "What?"
"That's it! She wants you."
Xie Liangchen: "Huh?"
Afu nodded firmly: "Yes! That must be it! Including today when we went to the Lü family clinic, do you remember what Doctor Lü said when he examined you?"
Xie Liangchen pondered for a moment: "It means that the doctor who treated us before had superb skills and recommended her to us. He said that she treated me very promptly and quickly."
"Yes! Also, we went through a lot of trouble to find Doctor Lü in the county. We waited for two hours. I heard that it's difficult for other people to even see him, but as soon as he heard that we were from Xinghua Village and knew Jiang Pangya, he let us in first and treated us with great courtesy."
These two must have a connection. Perhaps Jiang Pangya is actually Lü Langzhong's apprentice, and she instructed Lü Langzhong beforehand to say those things to elevate her status.
"Do you think Jiang Pangya is very smug right now? She's just waiting for you to beg her to treat your illness today, and then she'll ask you to marry her."
Upon hearing this, Xie Liangchen immediately scoffed, "She's dreaming!"
Afu glanced into the courtyard and couldn't help but sniff: "Young Master, can you smell the fragrance?"
Xie Liangchen had already smelled it, and he couldn't help but look into the pot. He immediately curled his lip and said, "It's just stewed meat. Why are you being so useless? Go and cut two pounds tomorrow."
Afu said, "Young master, I'm curious, how come Jiang Pangya's skills have improved so much in just a couple of days when they weren't very good before?"
That said, she really went to great lengths to win your heart. She studied medicine and cooking; she was truly devoted.
Xie Liangchen pursed his lips and glanced at the courtyard again.
The fierce-looking woman who had been appearing in his nightmares recently was now smiling, her eyes crinkling as she cooked, talking to the little girl with her head down.
She was still wearing the same light red dress that used to flaunt in front of him. It used to look jarring, but now, perhaps because she'd lost weight, the dress seemed a bit too big and fit her better. She looked unusually serene, almost like a completely different person from before.
"Young master, why don't you give her a smile? She definitely won't be able to resist, and then, like before, bring all her food to you."
As Afu spoke, he slurped his saliva, stood on tiptoe to peek into the pot, and said, "I wonder what she made, it smells so good! Young master, we haven't eaten anything this delicious in a long time."
"Shut up!" Xie Liangchen suddenly shouted, "If you dare to say another word, I'll sew your mouth shut."
After saying that, he immediately held his breath to prevent the aroma of meat from wafting into his nose.
Recalling his recent unlucky days, he couldn't help but think that if he had spent ten more taels of silver to buy Jiang Pangya along with him, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state today.
Thinking of this, he slapped himself hard.
Xie Liangchen, what are you thinking about? You're just an ugly maid, yet you're so easily swayed by her emotions.
Thinking this way, I stopped worrying and strode back.
He would rather die than seek treatment from Jiang Nuanzhi.
Jiang Nuanzhi watched the two of them loitering around in front of her house and wondered if they had finally come to their senses and were about to ask her for money again.
However, Afu had previously written himself an IOU, and if the two of them dared to cause trouble, he would reluctantly try to get those few taels of silver back.
Who knew that these two would be so clever today, turning around and leaving.
Jiang Nuanzhi didn't care much. She had a small piece of dough left over from making the noodles today. She pinched off five or six dough pieces, and seeing that the chicken was almost tender, she stuck the dough pieces to the side of the pot, put the lid on, and turned the heat up again.
The pancakes cooked easily. In no time, Jiang Nuanzhi prepared some scallions and garlic cloves, and then opened the pan!
The moment the pot lid was opened, Xiao Baozhu let out a loud "Wow!"
Li Xiaoer and Li Junping were also staring intently at the iron pot.
"Mommy! It smells so good! I never knew chicken could smell so good!"
Li Junping, standing beside him, shook his head: "I've eaten chicken before, but it's never tasted this good."
Li Xiaoer nodded vigorously: "Father has also made chicken, but it seems different?"
[Made by Li Rong]
[The v by Jiang Nuanzhi]
Jiang Nuanzhi sprinkled some scallions and garlic cloves into the pot and said with a smile, "Dinner is ready."
Actually, Jiang Nuanzhi had originally planned to take the children out to eat. The weather had been gradually warming up these past two days. With a gentle breeze and a pot of stew in an iron pot, it was incredibly comforting.
However, there was no wall in front of her yard. She cooked outside, and the aroma was so strong that many villagers were now passing by her house from time to time, craning their necks to look in.
Jiang Nuanzhi secretly pondered that she should build a wall around the courtyard later.
The group had just settled down when they heard what sounded like a muffled groan coming from inside the room.
The children almost instinctively went inside.
"Brother! Father is awake! Father is awake!"
Before Baozhu could even put down her little rice bowl, large tears began to fall.
He climbed onto the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) and grabbed Li Rong's hand.
As soon as they got on, they jumped up and down with their little feet, exclaiming, "Oh dear, the kang is so hot!"
Jiang Nuan then belatedly slapped her forehead: "We used so much fire today that we forgot about your father!"
As she spoke, she immediately came over, pulled the mattress he was lying on, and moved it to the end of the heated brick bed.
After moving him, I bent down to check his condition.
He pried open her mouth, glanced at her, rolled her eyelids, and took her pulse. Only then did he ask, "How are you? Can you speak? Do you recognize who we are?"
Li Rong's gaze swept across the children's faces, lingered on Jiang Nuanzhi's face for a moment, and finally landed on the whole bowl of fragrant meat that Xiao Baozhu was holding. Finally, under everyone's eager gaze, he slowly closed his eyes.
It turns out, it was just a dream again.
Xie Liangchen: She wants me.
Li Rong: I was dreaming again.
Jiang Nuanzhi: There are so many sick people, we can't cure them all, we really can't cure them all.
