Chapter 31 Expectations



Before Wen Ziqing finished his task, a few days later, Wen Ziqing read in the newspaper that a staff member of a certain shopping mall in H City jumped from the roof of the 18th floor. The woman who jumped from the building was Zhou Yuanyuan, whom Wen Ziqing had met a few days ago.

Wen Ziqing was heartbroken. For the first time, he violated his own principles and went to do personal things without completing the task.

Wen Ziqing rushed to City H as fast as he could. At the entrance of the shopping mall, he saw a scene that made him want to tear his eyes out.

Zhou Yuanyuan's husband was arguing with a group of people. They were fighting for the mall's compensation, exposing each other's pasts without regard for their own dignity. From their words, Wen Ziqing realized that Zhou Yuanyuan's miserable life was actually a trap. These people had all participated in harming Zhou Yuanyuan's family to some extent.

Not far from this group of people, an urn was placed alone on the ground.

Zhou Yuanyuan did not jump off the building voluntarily, but was forced by her husband. Those people were actually Zhou Yuanyuan's nominal blood relatives.

A bunch of people were shirking responsibility for Zhou Yuanyuan's burial, but everyone was vying for the biggest share of the money. An old woman with inverted triangle eyes cursed and complained, asking why Zhou Yuanyuan didn't die sooner. If she had known she would get such a large compensation, she would have died long ago.

How ridiculous! For the sake of money, those people disregarded everything. Wen Ziqing, impatient to listen to their bickering, fled to a deserted corner, changed his clothes, covered his face, and, with ten seconds of skill, robbed the mall of the money it had given Zhou Yuanyuan as compensation. He also took Zhou Yuanyuan's urn.

None of those people are worthy of using Zhou Yuanyuan's money. That was the money paid for Zhou Yuanyuan's life!

Wen Ziqing found a beautiful place to bury Zhou Yuanyuan, and burned all the 50,000 yuan in front of Yuanyuan's grave.

Then, Wen Ziqing used some tricks to teach the man and the Zhou family a lesson. "You like hitting people? I'll break your legs and arms, and see if you'll ever hit someone again. You like money? Fine, I'll have people constantly "take care of" you, and make your family increasingly poor!"

After completing these tasks, Wen Ziqing accepted a double S-level mission and went abroad. Then, during that mission, Wen Ziqing was killed in a bombing.

In his previous life, Wen Ziqing had never followed Wen Yulun to Zhaojiagou for medical treatment. It wasn't until he was eighteen that he met an old military doctor in the army who helped him dredge his blocked meridians with silver needles.

By then, Wen Ziqing's muscles and bones had already grown, and he had missed the best time to learn martial arts. The old military doctor said that Wen Ziqing's meridians had been blocked for too long, significantly impacting his future martial arts achievements. Otherwise, with Wen Ziqing's talent, reaching the level of a martial arts master by the age of fifty wouldn't be a dream.

Wen Ziqing died in his previous life at the age of forty-six, not even reaching the rank of martial arts master. Of the other members of the special training team who joined him, one reached the level of deputy grandmaster, and the other reached the level of master.

Will this life be any different? At least, Zhou Yuanyuan, whom he had no connection with at this time in his previous life, has now been reunited. It probably won't be too long before he sees his brother Zhou Jiasheng again. Wen Ziqing is filled with anticipation.

At lunchtime, Wen Yulun finally returned, sweating profusely. After hearing Zhao Qingshan's announcement that a new telephone had been installed in Zhaojiagou, Wen Yulun felt incredibly depressed. Feelings? He'd run dozens of miles, all for nothing?

Fortunately, the delicious lunch comforted Wen Yulun's wounded heart.

Zhao Yunxiang cooked three dishes with the large grass carp Zhao Qingshan bought. She made a fish head and tofu stew with the fish head, a braised fish fillet with red sauce with the fish body, and fish balls with cabbage.

Fish head tofu stew is not difficult to make, but it takes a little longer. Zhao Yunxiang first marinates the fish head with seasoning, then puts a little oil in the pan and fries the fish head on both sides until golden brown, then adds water to cover the fish head, and then puts in small pieces of tofu, and simmers it slowly over low heat to bring out the flavor.

The fish head and tofu soup was milky white in color and tasted so delicious that Wen Yulun almost swallowed his tongue.

The fish balls, with their bouncy, tender texture, instantly won over Wen Yulun. Wen Yulun was a serious foodie, completely resistant to delicious food. He had been obsessed with Zhao Yunxiang for years, and her cooking skills were half the reason.

Zhao Yunxiang had been making fish balls with Yuanyuan these past few days. In her previous life, Zhou Yuanyuan loved eating fish balls from the southern province of Y. They were not only delicious but also incredibly chewy. They felt springy and springy in the mouth.

Zhao Qingshan loved his daughter and granddaughter dearly, and there was always meat on the table at home. Under Zhou Yuanyuan's conscious and unconscious guidance, Zhao Yunxiang "developed" several new dishes, and her cooking skills reached a new level.

Wen Yulun buried his head in the bowl and ate half his fill in silence before he began to speak:

"Yunxiang, you made this dish, right? It's so delicious! I've never seen such a novel way of eating fish in Qingshan City."

In Province S, fish has not yet been made into fish balls. Generally, the whole fish is cut into pieces and fried in oil, and then seasoned with ginger, garlic, soy sauce, etc. to make braised fish.

"If you like it, eat more." Zhao Qingshan picked up his chopsticks and picked up a fish ball for Wen Yulun. He could see that the youngest of the Wen family loved to eat as much as his father did.

When Zhao Yunxiang and Yuanyuan were tinkering with new food a few days ago, Zhao Qingshan was worried that the good ingredients would be wasted by them. People in that era were simple and had an innate reverence for food. Even the most affluent families would not tolerate food being wasted.

Seeing Wen Yulun's satisfied face after eating, Zhao Qingshan's face was full of smiles. In the countryside, if the guests eat well, it is the best compliment to the host.

"Uncle Wen, haven't you ever eaten fish balls in the city?" Zhou Yuanyuan saw an opportunity and quickly interrupted.

"Yeah, sister Yunxiang is really capable." Wen Yulun nodded and praised Zhao Yunxiang again.

Wen Yulun felt a faint regret in his heart. If he hadn't been so naive back then and opposed his father's decision, he and Zhao Yunxiang would have been together, right? If he had married Yunxiang, with such excellent cooking skills, he would have been blessed with delicious food for the rest of his life.

"Yunxiang's cooking skills are just like her mother's!" Zhao Qingshan's face was filled with satisfaction, but there was a hint of regret in his words. In the blink of an eye, the old woman had been gone for more than ten years. He had two children to take care of, so he couldn't go with her. He felt sorry for her.

Fortunately, the son and daughter left by the old woman are both very successful, and he is very happy in his heart!

"Uncle Wen, I also think my mom's fish balls are delicious. If I sell them, will anyone buy them?" Zhou Yuanyuan added. To be honest, Zhou Yuanyuan encouraged Zhao Yunxiang to make fish balls with the intention of selling them for money.

The Zhou family is too deep, and Zhao Yunxiang is unwilling to leave Zhou Zhixin, so Zhou Yuanyuan has to find a way to fill her mother's wallet first.
