Chapter 470: Dinner

Zhang Jiabao was a little scared. He shrank his neck and prepared to sneak away.

Unfortunately, just as he stood up, Jiang Tongshui turned around and called him.

"Stop! I'm warning you, if you dare to bully her again, I will have the officers take you to jail, beat you up, and make you stay in jail for another ten or eight years!" Jiang Tongshui didn't mind hugging his sister's thighs for a while longer since he had already hugged her.

He threatened Zhang Jiabao by taking advantage of the power of others.

His eyes were extremely cold.

"Okay, okay... I, I understand." Although the Zhang family is richer than the villagers outside the city, they are not even a hair's breadth richer than the Jiang family. His family only has a house in the town, and the location is average. Plus, the house is old and not worth much.

The family's food and drink were all dependent on renting out the ancestral land. After deducting the expenses for food and drink, they could only save three or four taels of silver a year.

So Zhang Jiabao didn't dare to offend him and was very frightened.

Wait for the two figures to disappear.

Jiang Tongshui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Jiang, thank you so much. You helped me again. Now you have really become my benefactor."

Chen Hongxia looked at Jiang Tongshui with gratitude.

"It's okay, it's just a piece of cake. We are from the same village, I can't just watch him beat you, besides, you are also very powerful, tsk tsk, that kick, it hurts just looking at it."

Jiang Tongshui swallowed his saliva.

I felt a little scared, fortunately the kick didn't hit him.

"I just can't stand seeing his mouth so dirty. Third brother Jiang, have you eaten?" Chen Hongxia didn't want to owe anyone a favor, and she still had two copper coins on her.

She was going to treat Jiang Tongshui to a bowl of clear soup noodles.

Exactly two cents.

"I haven't eaten yet. How about you?" Jiang Tongshui left a little late and was delayed by talking to the teacher. He was afraid that his younger brothers had already returned home and finished their meal.

Speaking of this, Jiang Tongshui's stomach growled.

"Brother Jiang San, let me treat you to some noodles. Thank you so much for coming today. You must go, or I won't be able to sleep when I get home."

Chen Hongxia is telling the truth.

Although two cents was not enough to repay the favor, it made her feel better.

Jiang Tongshui refused twice in a row, but finally couldn't give in and followed her to the Food Street.

The stall selling clear soup noodles is at the entrance of the alley that never sleeps.

Although the noodles are coarse and not as refined as the other noodles, the soup base is made from bones. They only make one pot every day, and after selling the soup, the couple goes home.

So business is good.

I waited for a long time before I got a seat.

Chen Hongxia only bought one bowl.

When the clear soup noodles were served, Jiang Tongshui was embarrassed to eat it.

"Sister Hongxia, why don't you eat?" Jiang Tongshui asked as he picked up the chopsticks.

"I've eaten meat buns, so I'm not hungry." Chen Hongxia explained, but her stomach growled as soon as she finished her words.

They were both stunned, looked at each other for a while, and then laughed together.

"How much for another bowl of noodles and two pieces of dried tofu?" Jiang Tongshui picked up the money bag and walked up to the stall owner and asked.

"Okay, sir, I'll give it to you right away. It's four cents in total." The stall owner replied with a smile.

"Brother Jiang San, we agreed to treat you. Now that you're like this, I..." Chen Hongxia felt a little embarrassed. If she had known this, she would not have eaten the meat buns.

Now I owe Brother Jiang San a piece of dried tofu.

Damn it, she would never search again. Next time she came to town, she would make sure to bring enough money with her.

Chen Hongxia was very upset.

"It's okay. I'll treat you to a meal as an apology for accidentally bumping into you last time." Jiang Tongshui had already paid the bill. He chuckled and sat down.

Then he pushed the clear soup noodles in front of him to Chen Hongxia.

Signaled her to eat first.

Chen Hongxia did not refuse. It would be a pity if the soup was spilled after pushing it back and forth. Besides, the stall owner was also walking towards her table with noodles.

The two bowls of noodles were placed side by side, and each person had an extra piece of dried tofu in their bowl.

The two of them started to use their chopsticks to slurp the noodles.

When the weather gets cold, it’s so comfortable to have a bowl of hot noodles.

My stomach feels much warmer.

After finishing the noodles, they both stood up.

"Let me take you out of the city gate. After what happened just now, if someone recognizes you and points at you when you go back there, I'm afraid you'll be embarrassed," said Jiang Tongshui.

Girls are thin-skinned.

He was worried that Chen Hongxia couldn't bear it.

“不用，我又沒做錯，我為何會不好意思，該覺得丢臉的是他，那張家寶人品極差，真希望沒人嫁給他才好！我打了這個壞人，我該覺得長臉才是，我才不會不好意思呢，我覺得我可厲害了，以後看到他，我還要揍他。”

Chen Hongxia raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of pride.

She clenched her fists and bared her teeth in a ferocious manner.

It was the first time that Jiang Tongshui had seen such an interesting girl. He was so attracted to her that he stood there in a daze.

"Brother Jiang San, what are you looking at? Didn't I wipe my mouth clean?" Chen Hongxia was planning to wipe her mouth with her sleeve, but suddenly remembered that she had just bought a handkerchief today. She quickly took it off and gently wiped the corners of her mouth, but her heart ached.

I bought it and it's already dirty before I even get tired of looking at it.

"Haha, it's clean. Don't wipe it anymore. Your lips will turn red if you wipe them again. Let's go. I'll take you to the street. I want to go home too. It's on my way."

Jiang Tongshui picked up the backpack that Chen Hongxia had placed on the ground, put it on one shoulder, and walked forward.

Chen Hongxia felt something was a little strange, but couldn't put her finger on it, so she could only follow.

The two walked out of the Never-Sleeping Street, came to the main street of Baishi Street, and walked towards the end of the street.

As a result, when he turned around, he was seen by Sun Pingmei who was out shopping.

She rubbed her eyes, fearing that she had seen it wrong, and did not run back to Jiang's snack shop until the backs of Jiang Tongshui and Chen Hongxia disappeared from her sight.

"Mom, sister-in-law, guess who I just saw!" Sun Pingmei looked gossipy.

The corners of his mouth were almost reaching his ears from smiling.

"Who? Has Liu Da, the cake seller, recovered?" Zhang Jinlan asked without even raising her head. Recently, a short man named Liu Da came to the town. The cakes he sold were so delicious that they were so crispy that they would fall apart when you took a bite.

As soon as we set up the stall, all the goods were sold out in less than two hours.

The second daughter-in-law likes this.

Unfortunately, the sixth child was the weakest and was born in poor health, so he was short and fell ill every now and then.

Today's shopping should have been handed over to the eldest daughter-in-law, but the second daughter-in-law wanted to keep an eye on the six stalls, so she took over the shopping job.

Seeing how excited she was, Zhang Jinlan guessed that she had seen the Sixth Big One.

"What? It's Tongshui!" If her mother-in-law hadn't mentioned this, Sun Pingmei would have forgotten what she originally went out to buy.

I was in such a hurry to come back that I didn't even take a detour. This trip was in vain.

But it doesn’t matter if I can’t eat the cakes. My nephew’s life is the most important thing.

"Have you not seen enough Tongshui? You've seen his naked butt, and you even took care of his poop and pee when he was a kid." Zhang Jinlan spared no time to give her a blank look.
