Chapter 96 Ye Rou: I don’t know Jiang Chen
The early morning sunlight shines into the yard at the foot of the mountain and runs into the house.
The broad-shouldered man sat on the kang with his back to the window. His wheat-colored skin was illuminated by the sunlight, but his expression was always gloomy, and there was no light in the depths of his eyes.
He held the cigarette in his hand, a scarlet spot burning to his knuckles. He lowered his eyes and crushed the cigarette butt with his fingertips.
There was a sound from the iron gate outside the yard, and Jiang Chen suddenly looked up, stood up and strode out.
Zhou Liang walked in and called out, "Brother Jiang."
Seeing that it was Zhou Liang, Jiang Chen's expression suddenly turned cold. He sat on the table, his long legs hanging down, and lit his cigarette again. He asked impatiently, "What are you doing here?"
Zhou Liang, who had always respected Jiang Chen, complained for the first time: "My sister-in-law is staying at my house."
Jiang Chen's expression remained unchanged as he exhaled a puff of gray ash: "Tell me what to say."
His tone was nonchalant and his expression was even more indifferent.
Zhou Liang glanced at Brother Jiang's messy hair and stubbled beard, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Even a shovel is not as tough as Brother Jiang.
Zhou Liang had an expression that said, "As long as you're happy," and he shut his mouth and said nothing more.
The yard fell silent for a moment. Jiang Chen smoked silently, suppressing his anger. He had most of the cigarette unsmoked and crushed it on the table.
"Are you crying?"
"I didn't cry." Zhou Liang sighed artificially. "It was late at night. My sister-in-law was holding the dog and carrying a flowered bag. No matter how my sister asked, she didn't say a word. She just said she was tired and wanted to sleep."
He secretly glanced at Brother Jiang's expression and continued, "When I came out this morning, my sister-in-law asked me to bring something over."
Jiang Chen frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "What is it?"
Zhou Liang took out a rag bag from his arms and handed it to Brother Jiang.
Jiang Chen took it and opened the cloth bag casually.
Zhou Liang watched expectantly.
When the cloth bag was opened, there seemed to be quite a lot of money and bills inside.
Zhou Liang was about to ask his sister-in-law why she gave him the money, but when he looked up and saw Jiang Ge's expression, he took three steps back and stammered, "Jiang Ge, calm down."
Jiang Chen's grip on the cloth bag suddenly tightened. Because he was squeezing too hard, the blue veins on his arm bulged out, his jawline tightened, and there was a storm in the depths of his eyes.
"I'm calm."
Zhou Liang swallowed his saliva and bravely advised: "Brother Jiang, women need to be coaxed. Go and coax your sister-in-law. She has a good temper and will definitely come back in the evening."
He threw away the cloth bag and sneered: "If you want to leave, don't come back. I won't coax her."
Zhou Liang hesitated to speak.
Jiang Chen said coldly: "Let's go to town."
This yard is full of Ye Rou's things, which makes me feel upset.
Zhou Liang sighed and followed reluctantly.
——
"Ye Rou, are you okay?"
Ye Rou looked up and saw Zhao Cui and greeted her: "When did you get here?"
Zhao Cui said helplessly: "You said the same thing five minutes ago."
Ye Rou was sitting there, wearing plain white clothes and pigtails. She was dressed the same as usual, but she looked particularly listless.
Zhou Nian winked at Zhao Cui frantically.
Zhao Cui understood immediately and asked casually, "Did you have a fight with Jiang Chen?"
When Ye Rou heard Jiang Chen's name, her anger rose rapidly.
She whispered softly, "Who is Jiang Chen? I don't know him and have never heard of him."
Zhao Cui and Zhou Nian looked at each other and ran out of the clinic.
Zhou Nian frowned: "Do you think Ye Rou's condition is normal?"
Zhao Cui shook her head and said, "He's so angry that he's talking nonsense. This must be abnormal."
Zhou Nian was anxious: "What should I do then?"
"The most effective way to heal a broken heart is to start another relationship." Zhao Cui snorted and laughed: "Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged men are plentiful."
Her mother-in-law is the most famous matchmaker in the surrounding villages.
A few days ago, while fishing, Ye Rou charmed many young men.
From that day on, someone came to her mother-in-law every day to ask about Ye Rou's situation.
Just by looking at Ye Rou's face, if she goes around the surrounding villages, the people chasing her will line up from Dahe Village to Changdu Town!
Only someone like Jiang Chen who likes men would not be moved by such a beautiful woman and would quarrel with her.
That’s right, Zhao Cui believed from the bottom of her heart that Jiang Chen liked men.
Zhao Cui, with her big belly, patted her chest and said confidently, "Don't worry, leave this to me."
"You want to arrange a blind date for Ye Rou?" Zhou Nian thought about her experience of blind dates, and how she had just met a beast like Wei Chang. She asked worriedly, "Are blind dates reliable?"
Zhao Cui snorted: "Don't worry, Ye Rou is my savior, I won't cheat her."
She stroked her chin and smiled slyly, "I must find a man for Ye Rou who matches her looks, has a good family background, is gentle, and has a formal job."
Zhou Nian nodded as he listened, and added, "The most important thing is that the brain is normal."
Zhao Cui immediately nodded in agreement.
She patted Zhou Nian and said, "You stay with Ye Rou these days and tell her not to do anything stupid. I'll go and select blind dates for Ye Rou."
Zhou Nian nodded with full fighting spirit.
The two men immediately took action.
——
In the evening, Jiang Chen brought food to the four old men.
As soon as he entered, the eyes of the three old men, plus Old Man Zheng who had been feeling better recently, all lit up.
"Jiang boy is here!" Wang Guoping put down the book in his hand and sat down at the table with a smile.
Zhou Yuqing put away his harmonica and hurried over to sit down.
Li Weijun helped Zheng Zhiyuan sit down together.
Four old men, over fifty years old, with gray hair and wrinkled faces, stared at the lunch box in Jiang Chen's hand with green eyes.
Jiang Chen threw the steamed buns and chili sauce on the table, lit a cigarette, and unceremoniously pulled a long bench to lie down.
Zhou Yuqing turned over the steamed bun: "What is this? What is this?"
Wang Guoping had a bad feeling. Before Ye Yatou came, the brat Jiang Chen sent them chili sauce and steamed buns every day.
He stared at Jiang Chen: "Did you have a fight with Ye Yatou?"
Li Weijun snorted coldly: "A grown man quarreling with a little girl, what a shame."
Jiang Chen exhaled a puff of smoke: "It's not a quarrel."
Zhou Yuqing was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Jiang Chen's next words. He almost coughed to death because of the breath he held in his chest.
"She moved away."
Wang Guoping asked anxiously, "You didn't keep Xiaorou?"
Jiang Chen rested his head on his arm, looking at the dusty and cobweb-covered roof, and said calmly, "I was the one who drove her away."
After he finished speaking, the four old men fell silent.
After waiting for a while, I heard Zhou Yuqing say enviously, "I don't know which man will be so lucky to marry Miss Ye in the future."
Jiang Chen felt inexplicably unhappy when he heard that someone was going to marry Ye Rou.
Wang Guoping continued, "Marriage is a big deal for a woman. Ye girl is still young, so there's no need to rush."
Jiang Chen's frown relaxed.
That’s right, why is a little monster in such a hurry?
Zheng Zhiyuan, who had been silent the whole time, spoke slowly and thoughtfully: "You can pick one first. If you find someone you like, stick with them. If you don't like them, you can change them later."
Jiang Chen suddenly stood up and said angrily, "Let's go."
Zhou Yuqing called out to him, "Hurry up and get Ye Rou back, or you'll regret it sooner or later!"
Jiang Chen sneered, cigarette in hand, and said in a cold and resolute tone: "I won't regret it."
After he left, the four old men looked at each other and smiled strangely.
Wang Guoping snorted and laughed, "You little brat, you'll have to suffer in the future."
