Jing Yuchen was too lazy to explain or say more, so he carried his load and walked into the village.
The village is usually very quiet, with no outsiders, only a few elderly people in the village, young children, and women who take care of the elderly and children.
Someone came to sell something, and the villagers sitting at their doorsteps always found it very strange. They wanted to buy something, but the other person and his granddaughter walked away very quickly...
When they arrived not far from a courtyard, Jing Yuchen slowed down his pace and suddenly felt a little nervous.
He turned around and looked at Duan Gouqiong behind him: "Well, can you recognize who I am now?"
Duan Gouqiong looked at Jing Yuchen carefully. He had gray hair and gray eyebrows, a face full of wrinkles and pockmarks, and a gray beard. Apart from his sharp eyes, he didn't look like a young man at all.
Duan Gouqiong coughed: "You're disguising well..."
Jing Yuchen felt relieved and approached the courtyard. Duan Gouqiong then beat the gongs and drums in his hands: "Selling corn, sweet corn, yellow and plump!"
Even if the people in the room didn't want to hear the shouting, they couldn't.
Sure enough, before the iron gong was struck a few times, an old woman about fifty years old walked out of the room.
Duan Gouqiong widened her eyes. Does the woman Jing Yuchen has been thinking about also like to pretend to be an old man?
"Auntie, my grandfather and I come to the village to do business, it's not easy. Why don't you buy some corn? It's very cheap!"
Duan Gouqiong reached out and grabbed the old woman's hand, blinked her bright eyes, trying to act cute to the woman, and then sell the love corn brought by Jing Yuchen.
The old woman's attention was not attracted by the corn. Her eyes fell on Jing Yuchen. "Oh, this old man is not bad. His hair is all gray, but he can still carry two loads of corn!"
"He looks energetic, his legs are strong, and he must be strong too, right?" She looked Jing Yuchen up and down over and over again.
"I think you're pretty good, what do you think of me?"
She was wearing a brown robe and a silk flower in her hair that she had picked up from somewhere. Her face was painted red, like a monkey's butt, and her lips were plump and red like two sausages.
She had a satisfied smile on her face, winked seductively at Jing Yuchen, tossed her non-existent hair, and swung the handkerchief in her hand, and a smell of cheap perfume wafted towards her.
Jing Yuchen's brows were tightly furrowed, and his face looked gloomy. Duan Gouqiong understood what the old woman meant. She had taken a fancy to Jing Yuchen and wanted to flirt with him and seduce him!
Duan Gouqiong's mouth twitched as he stepped forward and said, "Old lady, we are selling corn, not my grandfather!"
At this time, a person slowly walked out of the house. She was wearing coarse linen clothes, a veil on her face, and her hair was lightly tied up. There was no decoration at all. Even in such a bleak environment and such simple dress, it was still difficult to conceal her cold temperament.
She looked at the old woman outside the door and threw a bag of peanuts, a bag of brown sugar and a pound of pork from the house into the yard.
“Don’t come again next time!”
Her voice was cold, and her aura was even more indifferent and frosty.
Duan Gouqiong looked at the cold and frosty woman, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
No wonder Jing Yuchen couldn't forget his concubine, she turned out to be a beautiful lady with temperament!
"Big sister, who is this old woman? She's so scary! My grandfather and I are just here to sell corn, but she's already attracted to my grandfather."
She stepped forward and took Ni Yueshan's arm, looking at the "wolf-like and tiger-like" old woman with some horror.
The old woman was a little embarrassed by what Duan Gouqiong said. She scolded him, "You little girl, how can you talk like that? How can I be scary? I'm still charming and beautiful!"
She held up the two soft lumps on her chest, trying to look more proud.
Duan Gouqiong almost vomited at what she saw. She roared, "Get out!"
The old woman was shocked. She didn't expect that a cute little girl could be so fierce!
"You, you kid, how can you be so disrespectful! Why are you telling people to get out!"
She turned her head and wanted to cry to Jing Yuchen, but Jing Yuchen's face was so cold that it was even colder than ice. She couldn't help but shiver.
"You, you will definitely regret it if you don't cherish your marriage!"
After she finished speaking viciously, she bent down to pick up all the food on the ground, then walked away.
As he walked, he kept cursing, venting his unhappiness.
Duan Gouqiong didn't let go of Ni Yueshan's arm. Instead, she smiled sweetly and asked, "Big sister, can Grandpa and I go in for a drink of water? We've been walking on the mountain road all morning and we're almost dead tired!"
Ni Yueshan frowned and looked at Jing Yuchen who was standing at the door. She seemed to be sizing up Jing Yuchen. In Ni Yueshan's sharp gaze, Jing Yuchen didn't know whether he had been seen through.
He coughed awkwardly twice to hide his inner nervousness.
Ni Yueshan nodded lightly, turned and went into the room, Jing Yuchen and Duan Gouqiong quickly followed.
The furnishings in the room were very simple, and everything was crude, but even though it was crude, it had everything needed.
Jing Yuchen sat down, Ni Yueshan poured water for the two of them, and Duan Gouqiong finished looking around the room.
"Sister, why is that aunt trying to find you a husband? Are you a widow?"
Jing Yuchen had just taken the cup of water handed to him by Ni Yueshan, and immediately started coughing when he heard this.
Duan Gouqiong was stunned and quickly patted Jing Yuchen on the back: "Grandpa, look at you, the elder sister is not in a hurry to send us away, you don't have to drink so anxiously."
Ni Yueshan's eyes fell on Jing Yuchen and looked him up and down. Jing Yuchen felt a sense of pressure enveloping him.
Duan Gouqiong smiled and said, "Big sister, Grandpa and I are so hungry. Can you go and cook for us? We'll trade our corn with you. You can cook for us so we can rest and we can give you a few pounds of corn!"
She smiled sweetly, with a hint of pleading in her eyes. Ni Yueshan opened her mouth to refuse, but a male voice rang out from outside: "Yueshan, I brought you two kilograms of corn and two kilograms of vegetables today. I've put them in the kitchen for you."
But just as he finished speaking, he saw Duan Gouqiong and Jing Yuchen sitting in the living room, drinking water.
He stopped in astonishment, this...
He also saw two loads of corn on the side?
This, Jing Yuchen is here to deliver corn?
Shao Lecheng suddenly felt that he had bitten his tongue. He coughed awkwardly twice and said, "This corn is good. Compared with the corn I just bought, it's like a granddaughter meeting her grandfather..."
"Cough! Cough!" Jing Yuchen opened his mouth and coughed violently. Shao Lecheng was embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "Ah, haha, it suddenly occurred to me that I didn't buy meat today. I still need to go buy meat!"
