From then on, Kong Wenjie didn't say anything until they reached the foot of the mountain.
"Guard Kong, thank you so much for today." When the donkey cart reached the foot of the mountain, Ah Chou hurriedly said to Kong Wenjie, "This mountain road is rugged. It's hard for the donkey cart to go, so let's stop here. I can go up by myself."
Kong Wenjie ignored her. He whipped the donkey cart up the mountain road.
"Guard Kong, there's really no need. I can go up by myself. It's not far." Ah Chou said hurriedly. Kong Wenjie was very abnormal today. Ah Chou didn't feel flattered. He just felt terrified. What did this person want to do by following him up the mountain?
Kong Wenjie glanced at her, seeing her look like she had seen a ghost. He curled his lips coldly, turned his face away, and continued to drive the donkey cart.
Ah Chou was even more shocked now, and she didn't know what to do with her hands. She rubbed her hands while thinking about what Kong Wenjie was going to do. Was he coming for her or for Zhong Mingwei? What could a mere servant like her do that was worth Kong Wenjie's trouble? So Kong Wenjie was coming for Zhong Mingwei?
Thinking of this, Ah Chou's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Guard Kong, you are so busy with official duties, how can I ask you to come up? It's only a few steps away, I can walk by myself, you should go back quickly!" Ah Chou tried to calm himself down and said to Kong Wenjie with a smile, but his heart was in turmoil.
Kong Wenjie frowned impatiently: "The rocking chair is so heavy, how can we transport it up the mountain without a donkey cart?"
Ah Chou was stunned: "Guard Kong, here is the rocking chair, did you bring it to me?"
Kong Wenjie glanced at her with an expression that said, "What do you think?"
Ah Chou was so surprised and delighted that he immediately dug out his purse and took out three coins of silver. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and took out another coin. He handed the four coins of silver to Kong Wenjie and said with an apologetic smile, "Guard Kong, thank you so much. This is the money for the chair, and I will also pay for the donkey cart."
Kong Wenjie looked at the four coins in her hand and snorted sarcastically, "I didn't realize you were such a generous person. If you were so generous, why did you bother to bargain with others in the carpentry shop just now?"
Ah Chou was a little embarrassed, he lowered his head and whispered: "He asked for a high price, I'm not stupid..."
"Put it away," Kong Wenjie glanced at her while driving the donkey cart, "I'll take the money."
Ah Chou didn't understand what he meant, and asked cautiously: "What do you mean even if you accepted it?"
"Didn't Duan Chenghong give us two brothers ten taels of silver when we were in the capital?" Kong Wenjie frowned even more and impatiently whipped the donkey hard, "Gee! Gee! Gee!"
Ah Chou did not refuse and put the four coins back into the purse. He felt embarrassed and smiled at Kong Wenjie, saying, "Guard Kong, you are such a nice person."
Kong Wenjie acted as if he didn't hear her and ignored her. He drove the donkey cart steadily to the courtyard on the mountainside.
The donkey cart stopped and Achou jumped off. At this time, Kong Wenjie had already moved the rocking chair from the donkey cart and walked towards the yard. Achou didn't hesitate and ran to open the door, then stepped aside and Kong Wenjie came in carrying the rocking chair.
"Okay, Guard Kong, just put the rocking chair here," Ah Chou led Kong Wenjie into the main hall, "This is fine."
Kong Wenjie put down the rocking chair, looked around, and looked at the simple yet clean main hall, and finally his eyes fixed on the door panel of the dormitory.
Ah Chou's heart was pounding, fearing that Kong Wenjie would push the door open and Zhong Mingwei would be inside. He didn't know if the cushion was wet. Zhong Mingwei was such a strong man, if others saw him in such a miserable state, he would probably be heartbroken again.
At that moment, Ah Chou hurried over and stood in front of the door a little unnaturally, saying to Kong Wenjie: "Guard Kong, thank you so much for coming today. It's getting late now, so I won't keep you for tea. Please go back quickly and don't delay your work."
