Chapter 144 It Rained
As soon as the Yipianqian snack bar opened, a lot of people came, all wanting gluten.
Later, the porridge was ready and they started to scramble for it.
When Sang Ning and others went out, they happened to meet Zhu Fansheng who came to deliver water.
In order to avoid attracting attention, it was agreed that the villagers who caused trouble would take turns delivering water. In the end, only three or four people were left, and among these three or four, Zhu Fansheng came the most often.
He seems to be a straightforward man.
His wife died of a serious illness, and he has an elderly mother and three children at home.
So, Sang Ning asked him to carry a full tank of water to the shop every day, and his reward was three bowls of porridge.
Zhu Fansheng couldn't help but be delighted. You know, these three bowls of porridge were worth much more than silver. It was enough for his mother and children to eat for a day. If Sang Ning continued to employ him, at least he could ensure that his family would not starve to death.
He was very grateful to Sanning.
Then he added, "If Madam Sang still has any work to do, my brothers are all good."
He is a man who values friendship, so Sang Ning felt more relieved.
When he came to deliver water, if he saw people in the queue making trouble, he would help to scold them and maintain order, and ask them to stay outside the store for a while before leaving.
Although there were many people queuing, Sang Ning only made two pots of porridge, and once they were all gone, he would wait until tomorrow.
Taking out too many wild vegetables would also cause a lot of trouble. Many people have already secretly asked her where she found such delicious wild vegetables.
"What's the point of doing this? You can't make much money, and you're working yourself to death. You can obviously sell it for double the money."
Xu Wude, who had not been seen for a few days, walked in.
You know what, my belly has actually gotten smaller.
It was obvious that he was indeed sad for the Third Madam, and there was a sense of loneliness between his brows.
He found a place to sit down and asked for all the food to be served.
"Are you stupid? I'm a prisoner. If I earn too much, it will be confiscated by the government in the end. I just have to make enough to have enough food and clothing.
"One penny of porridge can feed one more person, and the government will have one less person to worry about. Do you think the county governor will protect us?" Sang Ning said.
What you earn here is not money, but stability.
If they just wanted to survive, the rice and silver he gave would be enough for the family to live for a long time.
Xu Wude slapped his forehead: "I forgot you are a prisoner."
"However, you are the first prisoner to open a shop in Liangzhou City."
She was indeed the most special woman he had ever met.
Huo Jingya acted like she had seen a fat sheep, and immediately ordered twenty pieces of gluten, a portion of cold noodles, and a cup of chrysanthemum tea to clear away heat and reduce internal heat, all for a fee.
"So many...I haven't had much appetite lately."
Xu Wude was very sad. He picked up a piece of gluten and pulled it all the way to the end.
One, two, three... and soon it was all gone.
"How many can you eat when you have a good appetite?" Sang Ning rolled his eyes.
"Stop pretending to be affectionate. No one will believe you."
Sang Ning had no sympathy for him at all. He only felt pity for the third wife who had turned into a skeleton.
Beauty is short-lived.
But Xu Wude covered his eyes and sobbed, "You don't know, she's the only woman I've ever had feelings for. The coroner examined her and found that the fetus in her belly was a fully grown baby boy who was about to be born! And she's gone just like that... gone!"
"To put it bluntly, you care more about that baby boy than about her."
"No! I really love her, and I'm happy no matter what she gives birth to!" Xu Wude retorted.
"A man's mouth is a lie."
"You...you are so stubborn. Do you understand feelings?"
Ever since Wan'er passed away, he has been acting absurd for a long time, his temperament has changed, and he has been brooding over it for several years. If this isn't true love, what is!
"I understand. Of course I don't understand."
Sang Ning looked at him and recited a famous poem: "What is love in this world? It makes people pledge to be together through life and death~"
Xu Wude: “…”
How come he died?
To be honest, although he was deeply saddened by Wan'er's death, he was not to the point of not being able to live.
Even when deeply in love, he probably couldn't commit suicide for a woman.
At that time, he still had a family business, a wife, and a son.
How could he die?
"If you truly loved her, you would have firmly trusted her, instead of listening to others' instigation and letting her suffer injustice for five years!
At best, the Third Lady is just your favorite among the three women, and it doesn't rise to the level of love."
"To love someone is to forget yourself and feel her joy and pain. If she is happy, you are happy. If she is in pain, you are in more pain than she is.
Even if everyone says she is not good, you will stand firmly by her side. If she is in pain, you will be in pain ten times more. You may hate her to death, but you will not bear to hurt her in your heart.
She is the most important person in the world, the other half of your life. Even if the years pass and your face ages, you still love her as much as before."
"What is love in this world? It makes people pledge to be together through life and death. They fly together from north to south, their wings old and through many winters and summers. Joy is fun, separation is painful..."
Sang Ning has always believed that there is love in the world that can move heaven and earth, but it is rare and most people will never encounter it in their entire lives.
After she finished speaking, not only Xu Wude was mesmerized, but Mo Cuiyu was also stunned.
Huo Jingya rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Then there's a real bond between Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law. He blocks the whip for you, and you block the knife for him."
Sanning: "..."
What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think you are worthless, you idiot!
Xu Wude looked at Sang Ning in surprise, then smiled bitterly.
It turned out that his so-called true love was really just a shallow favor.
He couldn't trust, let alone commit suicide for love. The person was dead, so who should he show his infatuated look to?
"A word of advice awakens a dreamer. Thank you, Madam Sang."
"You're welcome."
"I want to try the Fatty Rice Noodles you mentioned before." He changed the subject and stopped being sad.
Is this turning grief into appetite?
Really...ha, man!
"Maybe when there's a chance, but I'm not free right now."
Faintly, the sound of hurried horse hooves could be heard outside.
There were shouts coming from far away.
Xu Wude's expression changed.
"Horses are not allowed on the streets. This must be...an urgent message from the border town!"
Is war going to start again?
He got up quickly and ran to the door.
Sang Ning also ran out.
I saw a man and a horse galloping towards this side.
The people on horseback shouted all the way: "It's raining——"
"It's raining in the sun—"
"It's raining in Longcheng——"
It’s raining!
It's not an enemy attack, it's rain, rain!
"It's raining! God has finally opened his eyes! Yangguan, Longcheng...it will soon be Liangzhou's turn..."
Xu Wude's tiredness was swept away, and his voice was changed with excitement: "Great! My hundred acres of crops can increase the yield by at least 20% by the autumn harvest!
God, please open your eyes! God, please open your eyes! "
At this time, many people on the street had heard the messenger's shouts and had already started kneeling down to pray to God.
