Chapter 477 Zhu Yingqiu Apology

Jiang Fubao finished speaking before going upstairs.

When the four of them sat down, the pot was served before they started eating.

"Sir, would you like me to boil it for you?" the waiter asked flatteringly as he stood beside the table.

"No need, we can do it ourselves. After we finish eating, you can come up and clean up." Meng Bujiu stretched out his hand, and something emitting silver light appeared.

The waiter's eyes suddenly lit up.

He hurried forward, took the silver, and retreated with a smile.

Just for borrowing the kitchen, plus a chicken, oil and other seasonings, and a mutton pot, he was given five taels of silver.

How generous!

Now the shopkeeper will definitely reward him for his good service.

Thinking of this, the waiter felt better and better, and he was humming a tune as he went downstairs.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, so he wants to work harder at the end of the year so that he can have a good year. By then, he will buy three pounds of meat so that his parents, children, and wife can eat enough and enjoy it to their heart's content!

"Wow, Miss, the fried chicken you made is even better than the second Miss's. It's sweet and a little spicy. I like it. This Coke, hiss, why is it spicy? Did you put chili in it? Miss, how did you do that? I didn't see you bring water to Jiangnan?"

Xue Huan ate a few bites of fried chicken and took a sip of Coke, and she chattered.

"This is powdered liquid. It doesn't take up space. I put it away. Of course you don't know. Where can I bring water? There is no place to put it. But it's not spicy. It's hot. If you don't believe me, take another sip and I guarantee you will burp."

Jiang Fubao talked nonsense and smiled wickedly.

"I haven't eaten enough, why am I burping?" Xue Huan didn't believe it. She picked up the cup and took a big gulp.

Just as I was about to speak, a puff of air suddenly came up in my throat.

"Burp——" She let out a long and loud burp.

Xue Huan's face turned red with embarrassment.

"Miss~" Xue Huan puffed out her cheeks, like a hamster hiding some snacks.

"Haha, didn't you not believe me? Are you burping? Well, eat quickly. Drink less Coke, it's a bit cold. Eat more mutton. Here, this piece is cooked. You can have the first bite." Jiang Fubao picked up a piece of mutton for Xue Huan.

I coaxed her into submission immediately.

"This Coke tastes a bit strange, but it's not unpalatable. Burp—" Meng Bujiu, who was about to make a comment, couldn't help burping.

He quickly covered his mouth and coughed twice.

"Hahaha, burp——" Jiang Fubao laughed so hard that he burped at the same time.

That's good.

The room was suddenly filled with laughter, mixed with hiccups, and it was a bit funny.

After eating and drinking his fill, Jiang Fubao took Xue Huan back to his own room.

After washing up, I went to bed early.

When I woke up again, the snow outside had stopped a long time ago. Fortunately, the snow on the ground was not thick and did not even reach above my ankles.

After breakfast, the four of them got on the carriage and continued on their journey.

At noon, Zhu Yingqiu, who was helping out in the snack shop, took time out to visit Sanshan School.

Coincidentally, Jiang Tongshui had just finished his meal and was about to go back to his room to sleep for a while.

"Mom? Why are you here?"

Jiang Tongshui was surprised to see his mother in school.

"Let's go talk over there." Zhu Yingqiu didn't answer, but dragged her son to the rockery in the yard. Then she frowned and asked hurriedly, "Tongshui, tell me the truth, do you really have nothing to do with Hongxia?"

"Yes, didn't I tell you before? You didn't believe me. What's the matter? Why did you come to the school to find me for no reason? Mom, I really didn't lie to you. I just happened to meet Hongxia. I have only met her a few times in total. What can be the connection? Don't think nonsense, okay?"

Jiang Tongshui was confused by the question.

He hurried to explain.

"Hey, child, since it's not related, why don't you explain it clearly? Mother saw you hesitating and thought you were lying to me. Oh, now I have to go to the Chen family to propose marriage, but no one in the village saw it. Otherwise, wouldn't it harm Hongxia?

Hongxia asked me to come back and ask you. I didn't believe her at first, thinking she was too shy to admit it. But she looked very straightforward and it seemed that she really had no interest in you. Oh, it's over. I meant well but messed up. I have to go to your house and apologize in person."

Zhu Yingqiu saw that her son looked serious.

She slapped her thigh suddenly, feeling very upset.

"What? You went to propose marriage? Mother! You, you really are, why don't you believe me? Didn't I tell you that I just happened to meet her? I'm your son, why don't you believe what I said?"

Jiang Tongshui was shocked when he heard what his mother said.

For a moment, anger surged in his heart and he even got angry at Zhu Yingqiu.

"When you were little, you talked a lot. After you grew up, you didn't like to talk to me anymore. On weekdays, you were always in school. I only saw you a few times a month. I thought you didn't want to talk to me, so I did something bad with good intentions. I was wrong. I will go to your house tomorrow to apologize. I was so stupid in this matter."

Zhu Yingqiu was not angry. If she were to ask herself honestly, she felt that she had indeed neglected her younger son.

In the years since she moved to the town, she has not taken care of her youngest son. She has devoted all her energy and attention to her eldest grandson. She was previously busy helping her second son find a wife, and now her second son's wife has given birth. In addition, she is very busy in the shop. If her youngest son had not reached age, she would have continued to ignore him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yingqiu felt extremely guilty.

"Mom, please go away. I have something to do." Jiang Tongshui was angry.

He turned around and went back into the house, and no matter how Zhu Yingqiu called him, he did not look back.

After leaving the school and returning to the shop, Zhu Yingqiu was absent-minded, with the word "annoyance" written all over her face.

"What's going on? What did Tongshui say?" Zhang Jinlan put down the work in her hands, walked over and asked.

"It's all my fault. I neglected him so much that I didn't even understand his true character. I thought he was lying to me, but actually he was telling the truth. What kind of mother am I? I'm even more hateful than a stepmother." Zhu Yingqiu held her face and started crying.

Everyone in the backyard was terrified.

It's been so many years.

This was the second time Zhu Yingqiu cried.

The last time I cried was when Fubao fell into the water and I thought she was dead.

Everyone dropped what they were doing and surrounded her.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying? Who bullied you? I'm going to find him!" Jiang Yahe also came down from the second floor after hearing the sound, and he hurriedly asked.

The veins on his face were throbbing with anxiety.

"My son's father, I'm sorry to Tongshui. I did such a stupid thing and now my son blames me. Why didn't I believe what he said? He has nothing to do with Hongxia, but I thought so much and thought he didn't want to marry Hongxia and didn't want to take responsibility. He is my son, how could I think so much about him? It's all my fault."

Zhu Yingqiu cried so hard that her tears and snot mixed together and her face was wet.

Sun Pingmei picked up a piece of cloth and wiped her face, but her face was not wiped clean. Instead, there were a few sesame seeds on Zhu Yingqiu's face.
