Chapter 66: Don’t you know how good he is at fighting?
When Aunt Jiang came back from buying groceries, Chu Xiuli took off her cheongsam and put it carefully into a box, then went to the kitchen to help cook, saying that she wanted to show off her cooking skills to Lu Beiye.
Wenjiu also wanted to help, but as soon as he entered, he broke a bowl and was kicked out.
Wen Jinyan took pleasure in the misfortune and said, "Sister, I think you should not go into the kitchen. I'm afraid there won't be enough plates for lunch."
"Hey!"
"How are you talking to me?"
Wen Jiu slapped him twice and said, "If you have nothing to do, help me."
"What can I do for you?"
"Take me to Rongrong's house by bike."
She is a terrible rider.
He Rongrong was nice to the original owner, and her home was not far from the military compound, so Wen Jiu felt that he should go and take a look.
Wen Jinyan raised her eyebrows, "What's the benefit? If there is no benefit, it will be difficult for me to do things for you!"
Wen Jiu couldn't help but complain, "Why didn't I realize you were so naive before?"
"It's not too late for you to know now!"
"Two popsicles?"
"Add another fifty cents!"
…
The two bargained for a long time and finally agreed on two popsicles plus two yuan.
Lu Beiye was playing chess with Master Wen. Wen Jiu said hello to him and went to He Rongrong's house with Wen Jinyan.
Wen Jiu jumped onto the back seat of the bicycle, but before Wen Jinyan could sit down, the bicycle sped away quickly. She was so scared that she quickly hugged Wen Jinyan's waist.
"Ride steady!"
"Don't throw me off."
But Wen Jinyan rode faster and faster, laughing at Wen Jiu loudly, "Coward! Haha..."
She pinched him with a hint of alcohol in her mouth, "You are the one."
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, it hurts! My dear sister, that's all flesh! Take it easy."
"If it wasn't meat, I wouldn't have pinched it!"
…
The two of them talked and joked with each other as they walked, and it felt like time passed very quickly. They almost reached the Hachikori Road before they even realized it.
"Bah, bah, bah! Excuse me, stop the car, I want to go to the river to wash my face." The wind was so strong that Wenjiu felt like he had a mouthful of mud.
"You women are such a nuisance!"
After Wen Jianyan finished complaining, she parked the bike on the side of the road and let Wen Jiu wash his face.
After drinking wine and washing her face, she was about to leave when she heard someone talking in the woods next to her. She stood up and found that it was He Rongrong. She didn't know the man next to her, but he looked to be at least thirty years old.
"Rongrong, come here, let me touch you. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you so much." Zhang Cheng said as he walked to He Rongrong and reached out to touch her face.
He Rongrong was so scared that she quickly dodged away.
Although she is fat, she is well-proportioned and has a plump figure. Although her face is round, her eyes are big and watery, and she looks very cute.
"You dare to reject me? Do you really think you are so popular? Your father is still lying in bed waiting for my money to save his life!" Zhang Cheng's face changed the moment he was rejected. He grabbed He Rongrong's arm with anger on his face.
"You are my wife anyway, why are you pretending to be a chaste woman in front of me?"
"Serve me well!"
"Your father can only survive if I give him money!"
He Rongrong was struggling fiercely at first, but when she heard Zhang Cheng say that her father, she stopped moving instantly. She trembled all over and cried, "Then can you give me another 500 yuan as a betrothal gift? I don't want anything else."
Zhang Cheng sneered, "Two thousand yuan for a betrothal gift? Do you think you are a gold nugget?"
Nowadays, the general betrothal gift is only a few hundred yuan, and two thousand yuan can buy a house in the city.
He Rongrong's face turned red from being ridiculed, and her tears flowed even more violently, "Please."
Her father is still waiting for help!
She hopes to sell herself for more money!
Zhang Cheng looked at He Rongrong's red eyes from crying and felt an evil spirit creeping into his stomach. He pinched He Rongrong's face and smiled ambiguously, "But if you serve me well, it's not impossible for me to give you 2,000 yuan if I'm happy."
"Do you understand what I mean?" he said as he reached for He Rongrong's collar.
He had been engaged in speculation and profiteering in his early years, and had saved some money from those jobs that were punishable by fire. In the past two years, he had also made a lot of money by doing business in partnership with his friends, so it was easy for him to give a dowry of 2,000 yuan.
Wen Jiu understood what was going on. Seeing that Zhang Cheng was about to take action against He Rongrong, he picked up a stone on the ground and rushed over, pulling He Rongrong and blocking her behind him.
He pointed a stone at Zhang Cheng and said, "Get lost! Rongrong will not marry me anymore."
"We don't want your dirty money!"
"Wine?" He Rongrong was so surprised when she saw the wine being warmed that she forgot to cry.
Wen Jiu patted her hands and said, "It's okay, I'm here! Don't be afraid! I will help you solve the money problem."
She still had nearly two thousand yuan in her own pocket, which was enough to pay for He Rongrong's father's medical treatment.
Zhang Cheng's face was full of anger. "Who do you think you are, bitch? His mother has already agreed, and you say you don't want to marry me? I advise you to stay out of other people's business. If you dare to ruin my good deeds, I will accept you as well!"
Wen Jinyan heard the commotion here, picked up a wooden stick and ran over, pointing at Zhang Cheng and scolding him angrily: "Old man, who do you want to accept?"
"How dare you speak to my sister like that?"
"You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
"You don't want to live anymore!" Zhang Cheng rolled up his sleeves and rushed over viciously, "You bastard, you dare to ruin my good deeds! I must teach you a lesson today."
"You still want to teach me?"
"What a piece of junk!"
Wen Jinyan picked up the wooden stick and started beating him. He had been feeling itchy all over because of the frustration he had been holding back lately.
Chu Xiuli has been worried about Wen wine recently. When she feels uneasy, she tries her best to torment him, asking him to read books and practice calligraphy. He is almost going crazy.
Wen Jiu pulled He Rongrong to hide aside. Wen Jinyan learned her fighting skills from the kids in the military compound, so she was not afraid that she would lose. She just let this shameless old man be her sparring partner.
He Rongrong wanted to help Wen Jinyan but was pulled back by Wen Jiu. "Ajiu, why are you pulling me? I'm helping Jinyan."
Wen Jiu curled his lips, "Don't you know how good he is at fighting? If you go to help him now, he will just think you are in the way."
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Cheng was beaten by Wen Jinyan and screamed like a ghost. He turned around and ran away with blood all over his face, without saying a word before running away.
"Don't be complacent!"
"I won't let you off easily."
After he finished speaking, he ran away like a wolf. Because he ran too fast, he fell several times, which made Wen Jinyan very proud.
"Sister, what's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" Wen Jinyan raised her chin and looked at Wen Jiu, like a little wolfdog wagging its tail for praise.
"Great." Wenjiu gave a thumbs up.
Wen Jinyan was satisfied and said, "You said, I'll go to the river to wash."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving the space for Wen Jiu and He Rongrong to talk.
"Rongrong, what's the situation at your home now?" Wen Jiu asked while holding Rongrong's hand. The situation of He Rongrong's family was not mentioned in the book.
