"This matter has to start from the time when my mother and I stayed overnight at Baiyun Temple." Tunan did not notice Fengming's stunned expression and slowly began to talk about the details.
"About half a month ago, my mother and I traveled to Wan'an County. We were attracted by the beautiful scenery and excellent vegetarian food at Baiyun Temple, so we stayed there."
Well, it seems that Tunan is a bit of a foodie. It takes a long detour from the official road to Baiyun Temple, but they actually ran there just for the delicious vegetarian meal... Hehe, if you want to win a man's heart, you have to win his stomach first.
Write down the key points of flirting with men in a small notebook.
While others were telling stories, Fengming was highlighting the key points for himself.
"As expected, the vegetarian food at Baiyun Temple is quite good, so my mother and I stayed for a few more days."
Ha, you are indeed a foodie!
"It was at lunchtime on the third day there that we met a traveling merchant from Yongyu County. He mentioned the tragic incident in Yongyu County where a good friend's home was destroyed and everyone died." Speaking of this, Tunan took a sip of tea and continued:
"That traveling merchant friend of mine is named Yang Yong, also a businessman who runs several jewelry and jade shops. His family is well-off. His family relationships are harmonious and happy. His son is studious and motivated, his daughter is pretty and well-educated, and even the most difficult mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along well. In Yongyu County, everyone praises the Yang family and envies them. But..." Tuanan paused, as if he couldn't bear to continue.
After letting out a breath, Tunan continued, "But all of this was ruined by a woman."
That day, Yang Yong had gone to buy his wife and daughter their favorite snacks. He was walking home contentedly, carrying the snacks. Thinking of his wife and daughter's happy faces, he felt happy. At that moment, a woman in white, walking not far ahead of him, suddenly began to stagger. Kind-hearted Yang Yong hurried over to support her. The woman fell into his arms, her eyes full of water, her delicate and pitiful appearance stirring in his heart.
"Girl, are you okay?" Yang Yong asked subconsciously with concern.
"I... I'm fine... Thank you... Thank you sir for your help." The voice of the woman in white was as delicate as her appearance.
"Girl, where do you live? I'll take you back. You... you don't look well."
When the woman in white heard Yang Yong ask this, she pushed Yang Yong away, stood up shakily, her delicate but strong face looking miserable: "Home... I have no home anymore." Two lines of tears fell, and Yang Yong suddenly felt sorry for him.
He hurried forward and supported the woman in white: "My lady, my home is not far ahead. Why don't you go to my house and rest for a while."
The woman in white didn't say anything, she just nestled in Yang Yong's arms and cried. Yang Yong had no choice but to take the woman back to his home first.
Mrs. Yang was also a kind-hearted woman. She was not angry when she saw her husband bringing back a strange woman. Instead, she saw that the girl was about the same age as her daughter, and when she heard Yang Yong say that the girl said she was homeless, she felt pity for her.
Madam Yang helped the woman in white wash up, then found the new clothes she had made for her daughter and gave them to her to change into. She also arranged for her daughter to eat and sleep in her own room. The woman in white remained silent, letting Madam Yang care for her like a delicate porcelain doll.
It was not until the next day that the woman in white, who had a good night's sleep, finally calmed down. She thanked Yang Yong and his wife and told them her story.
She called herself Ruan Xinyue. With her parents both gravely ill and deceased, she had no one to rely on. Following her mother's wishes, she came to Yongyu County to seek refuge with her maternal grandparents. Although her family was originally well-off, her parents' medical treatment had cost them everything, leaving them with only a small fortune. By the time she arrived in Yongyu County, she was penniless. She hoped to find her maternal grandparents home, but she discovered they had already moved away.
Looking around, he found no one he knew and nowhere to go. He was tired, hungry and desperate, so he fainted on Yang Yong's way home.
