Chapter 36: What I learned went down the wrong path.
"I invited you to eat hot pot today because I had this idea."
He couldn't stay here indefinitely. Although he was skilled in medicine, he had studied Western medicine and had little knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine.
Many people here cannot accept Western medical treatments.
But you need money to live anywhere, so he needs to find a way to earn money first.
We had to find someone to invest, and Ms. Jiang was the only candidate.
He was initially worried, but he didn't expect the other party to bring it up first.
"Then let's do it."
“Okay.” Yu Hai’s eyes lit up. “I will draw up the blueprints today, and Miss Jiang can decorate according to my drawings.”
“I’m a straightforward person, and Miss Jiang knows I’m penniless.”
"I can provide all the design and technology. When we make money, we'll split it 30/70, with Miss Jiang getting 70%?"
"good."
Jiang Wan Ning didn't stand on ceremony; she desperately needed money, the more the better.
Therefore, this matter needs to be implemented as soon as possible.
"These are just two types of soup bases; there are many other flavors, and I can make them all."
Yu Hai was very fortunate that his ex-girlfriend was a foodie, which forced him to learn how to cook many delicious dishes.
Perhaps it was fate, but I got too busy and broke up with my boyfriend, and soon after, I was transported here.
“Okay, just let me know if you need anything,” Jiang Wanning said.
After discussing it, the two wanted to continue eating.
Of all the ingredients on the table, only a few pieces of cabbage remained.
"Peony, you little rascal, leave me a piece of meat." Shen Ruzhi said, grabbing at the same time as she ate.
Yu Hai looked at Shen Ruzhi and suddenly smiled.
This girl gave him a feeling of coming home.
"I originally thought that all girls in ancient times were as well-educated and reasonable as Miss Jiang, but I didn't expect there to be such a cheerful person."
Jiang Wan Ning smiled but didn't say anything.
Early the next morning.
Jiang Wanru then sent her maid to fetch the clothes and jewelry.
Jiang Wan Ning asked Shao Yao to take out the things she had prepared in advance and hand them to the little maid.
A short while later, Jiang Wanru came to the Wutong Courtyard in person.
"elder sister."
"Second sister is here?" Jiang Wan Ning was stitching up a little rabbit's wound. "Sit down."
Seeing Jiang Wanning's hands covered in blood, Jiang Wanru suppressed her nausea and said, "No need."
"I just wanted to ask if you forgot to send out this month's monthly report."
"This little maid brought over two pieces of clothing."
“The monthly allowance has already been paid.” Jiang Wan Ning’s hands didn’t stop moving. “Didn’t Second Sister use hers to buy clothes and jewelry?”
"I specifically instructed the servants to buy expensive and good things, according to my second sister's wishes."
"So it used up half a year's worth of my second sister's monthly allowance."
"What?!" Jiang Wanru exclaimed in surprise, "Weren't those clothes and jewelry... weren't they given to me by my older sister?"
Jiang Wan Ning finished sewing the last stitch, tied a neat knot, and looked at herself with satisfaction.
Only then did he look up at Jiang Wanru, "Second sister, did you mishear? When did I say I was giving it to you?"
"Besides, I noticed that my second sister has recovered well these past few days. Her waistline has gotten thicker, and she's shorter than me, so she can't wear my clothes anymore."
"I can only buy you a new set."
"Isn't the Marquis's residence required to make two new sets of clothes for each person every season?" Jiang Wanru continued.
"Second sister, that reminds me, but it's not the right time yet."
"Sister has just taken charge of the household; it wouldn't be right for her to break the rules, would it?"
Jiang Wanru was speechless. She didn't know why she had been gaining weight even from drinking water lately.
Despite eating only plain porridge and vegetables every day, her waistline grew wider day by day, and so did her aunt's.
There were no suitable clothes available at the moment. Although the lotus root pink color that Jiang Wan Ning sent was her favorite, it didn't suit her dark skin at all.
Wearing that will only make you look darker.
And the jewelry—a pink dress should be paired with pearls, but all she sent were gold hairpins.
She had tolerated what her aunt said, but now she had stopped even paying her monthly allowance.
How am I supposed to live after this?!
"Big sister..."
Jiang Wanning yawned.
Peony immediately stepped forward to interrupt her, "Second Miss, Eldest Miss should take a nap."
"If Miss Second has any objections, she can go to Master or Madam."
After saying that, Peony helped Jiang Wanning into the house.
Jiang Wanru clenched her fist, stomped her foot, and turned to leave.
"Jiang Wanning! You'll have your day sooner or later!"
As soon as Jiang Wanru left, Zhou Shi walked in.
"Mother, you've come?" Jiang Wanning smiled and stepped forward to take Zhou's hand.
Zhou replied with a smile, "I heard you studied medicine under that person?"
Although the maidservants reported back every day, she still wanted to ask her daughter herself.
"I thought studying medicine would be a good idea. I had nothing else to do anyway, so I decided to give it a try."
Madam Zhou nodded. "That's good too. It'll be convenient for him to live in the Marquis's residence as your master."
"Mother, you've come at the right time. This is a new dress that I specially had made for you. How about we go to the spring banquet together tomorrow, and then go see Grandfather afterwards?"
Seeing Zhou hesitate, Jiang Wan Ning continued, "Mother, only if we don't care will other people's words not seriously hurt us."
Zhou finally nodded, "Alright, Mother will go with you."
"Then I'll go back to the Zhou residence to apologize to your maternal grandfather. I didn't think this through."
“I originally thought that as long as your maternal grandfather didn’t see me, I wouldn’t worry.”
"But Mother's complexion has improved a lot now, which means that she has been taking good care of herself during this period."
Since Jiang Wan Ning took over the household, she changed everyone in the kitchen, including some of the people around Zhou Shi, who would send medicinal meals to her every day.
I accompanied Ms. Zhou on a walk to soothe my mind.
Zhou's complexion is getting better and better.
Although her mother appeared strong on the surface, she was actually the most vulnerable.
"Mother, don't worry, it won't be long before Liu Shi disappears forever."
......
Jiang Wanru returned to Bihe Courtyard and smashed everything she could.
"What's going on now?"
Aunt Liu leaned against the bed, looking weakly at Jiang Wanru.
"Mother, that Jiang Wan Ning did it on purpose! She must have done it on purpose!"
Jiang Wanru recounted what had just happened.
“It’s normal for her to target you,” Aunt Liu said. “No woman in this world can easily forgive someone who took away the one she loves.”
"Then why is she still pretending like this?"
"She's smarter than her mother; she knows how to give someone a taste of their own medicine."
"However, he's still just a little kid, and that's all he can do."
"I was careless in the past. Don't worry, I won't let her succeed again in the future."
"Mother, I want Jiang Wan Ning dead right now! Don't you know that person? She's so powerful."
Why not just send someone to kill Jiang Wan Ning directly!
"Shut up!"
Aunt Liu angrily rebuked, "Have you forgotten everything I taught you?"
"It's all my fault for letting you have it too easy on a daily basis. Now that you've experienced a little setback, you've exposed your true colors and started shouting for a fight."
"From now on, do not mention that person again in this Marquis's residence."
