Chapter 18 A strange feeling

Since Duan Ping wants to make trouble, then let her make trouble.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

She originally wanted to bring down the Dong family and make Dong Yumei suffer a fate worse than death.

Making a fuss now would only make it a little more unsightly.

Jiang Mingyue had this realization, but Duan Ping was shocked.

She didn't know how the secret that Dong Chengcai had kept for twenty-three years was known by that bitch Jiang Mingyue?

Duan Ping is not sure how Jiang Mingyue knew that, so she has no confidence to fight with Jiang Mingyue.

"Jiang Mingyue...Jiang Mingyue..."

Duan Ping pointed at Jiang Mingyue, her fingers trembling and her pale lips shaking constantly.

But I couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Jiang Mingyue turned around with a smile and walked towards Jiang Xinyue.

Duan Ping stood there, looking distraught as Jiang Mingyue's back slowly walked away.

She walked back to Dong's house, and she didn't know what was wrong with her. She caught a glimpse of a hoe placed on the wall, picked up the hoe and rushed out the door.

Rushed towards Jiang Mingyue's back.

"I'll beat you to death!"

"Sister!" Jiang Xinyue was so scared that her face turned pale, and she quickly ran towards Jiang Mingyue.

"Watch your back!"

Jiang Mingyue turned her head consciously.

A figure passed by Jiang Xinyue faster.

The hoe in Duan Ping's hand had already dug down towards her head.

Jiang Mingyue's first reaction was to reach out to grab Duan Ping's hoe, but a hand that was much larger than hers grabbed the hoe faster.

The other hand held her other arm and pulled her behind him.

"Auntie Duan, what do you want to do?"

Gu Dongqing stood in front of Jiang Mingyue, and his voice was deeper and more solemn than Jiang Mingyue had ever heard before.

She raised her head in surprise, just in time to see Gu Dongqing's firm and deep facial features shielded by the sunlight.

Because Gu Dongqing is in business, he usually has a smile on his face and seems easy to talk to.

But don't forget that he served in the army for several years and only retired three years ago.

This rough man who had served as a soldier on the frontier where blood was licked on the tip of a knife had a ruthless nature in his bones. He didn't usually show it easily, but that didn't mean it was gone.

At this moment, he grasped the hoe in Duan Ping's hand with one hand, and his wrinkled brows were full of cruelty!

This was completely unfamiliar to Jiang Mingyue.

Of course, Duan Ping was also unfamiliar.

She didn't expect that Gu Dongqing would come to stop her good deeds!

When facing Gu Dongqing's sharp gaze, especially the strong arms still visible under the shirt, Duan Ping's heart beat like a drum.

He subconsciously retracted his hands and took half a step back.

Without saying anything, he let go of his hands, spread his feet, turned around and ran towards Dong's house.

Jiang Mingyue, who had just come to her senses, called out to Duan Ping when she saw the situation.

"Duan Ping, I haven't told anyone what I just said to you."

Duan Ping paused after hearing these words.

Turned around and looked at Jiang Mingyue.

Jiang Mingyue continued, "As long as you stop letting people in the town spread rumors and tarnish my reputation, I can guarantee that I will never say what I just said to you again."

Her meaning was clear enough.

Duan Ping looked at Jiang Mingyue suspiciously, "Are you serious?"

As long as she doesn't spread rumors about Jiang Mingyue, will this bastard be able to keep the secret of success? Duan Ping looked Jiang Mingyue up and down, weighing the importance of the matter.

Jiang Mingyue didn't wait for Duan Ping to make a decision.

The 'conditions' she gave were laid out here, and Duan Ping could choose whatever she wanted. No matter what Duan Ping chose, she would accept it.

After finishing speaking, Jiang Mingyue thanked Gu Dongqing and walked towards Jiang Xinyue.

Gu Dongqing raised his eyebrows slightly, still holding the Dong family's hoe in his hand, and his face returned to its usual expression.

A half-smile.

It looks so close, but in fact it is not close at all.

He said to Jiang Mingyue's back: "I helped you a lot, is just a thank you enough?"

Jiang Mingyue walked a few steps and stopped, thinking about it carefully and realized that this was the truth.

"sister"

Just then Jiang Xinyue came over carrying a backpack.

Jiang Mingyue thought of how to thank Gu Dongqing.

She took out a piece of meat from the basket on her back. It was pork belly, about two pounds, that she had just bought in the department store.

It is suitable to use it to thank people.

Of course, this is the best sincerity the Jiang family can offer at the moment.

Gu Dongqing looked at the meat in Jiang Mingyue's hand, then looked at Jiang Mingyue. He clicked his tongue and threw the hoe at the door of the Dong family.

Duan Ping, who had just closed the door, was startled by the sound of the hoe falling to the ground.

Gu Dongqing clapped his hands and put his hands in his pockets. "How can I eat this raw meat?"

Jiang Mingyue blinked.

Could it be that he wanted her to cook the meat for him?

"Then I'll bring you something cooked in a few days?"

Jiang Mingyue asked.

Gu Dongqing, who originally had only a slight smile on his face, laughed out loud at Jiang Mingyue's words.

"What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Mingyue was a little confused and looked up at the man in front of her.

There is a big difference in their heights. Gu Dongqing is taller than most men in Tonglin Town, while Jiang Mingyue is just as tall as his shoulders.

When he spoke, I had to look up to see the expression on his face.

Gu Dongqing curled his lips and said, "Just treat me to a bowl of noodles and we'll be even."

Jiang Mingyue hesitated, "Now?"

"no?"

“Not very suitable.”

Because of Duan Ping, she now has a very bad reputation. If she goes to eat with Gu Dongqing at this time, she might implicate him.

Jiang Mingyue took out two yuan from her pocket and handed it to Gu Dongqing.

She can't go, but she can pay.

Gu Dongqing looked at the two yuan in her hand, then looked at her sisters, and finally did not accept the money.

"Forget it, just remember it and pay it back when it's convenient for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Dongqing left.

Jiang Mingyue looked at Gu Dongqing's back and frowned slightly.

"sister"

Jiang Xinyue came to her side and asked, "Sister, isn't this guy from the Dong family next door? Why didn't he go in after arriving home? Instead, he went somewhere else?"

Jiang Mingyue shook her head.

“I don’t know.”

After saying that, he called his sister and went home first, carrying the backpack.

Gu Dongqing went to the restaurant and had a bowl of beef noodles. At the same time, he also understood why Jiang Mingyue was so embarrassed when he asked her to treat him to noodles.

Tonglin Town is not very big, so naturally, what happened outside could not be concealed.

When he heard people say that Jiang Mingyue was flirting with other girls, he didn't know why he just wanted to laugh.

If that girl really had the ability to flirt with other men, she wouldn't have left a man as old as him alone...

Cough cough cough…

Gu Dongqing went to the county after returning from the village yesterday and just came back today.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed the rumors to spread so fiercely.

After hearing the whole story, Gu Dongqing sneered, put down the money, left the restaurant and went to look for someone.

Now he and Jiang Mingyue are partners. As a man, he naturally cannot let others throw dirty water on his 'partner'.

He came to a dilapidated courtyard at the end of the street, knocked on the door, and walked in.
