Otherwise, if you're about to fall and someone helps you up, and you don't say thank you, what normal person would be so blatantly disgusted?
Looking at Meng Aji again, after being thrown off by Hongyu, he seemed stunned, standing there helplessly.
Hongyu used all her strength to shake off his hand; if he hadn't been physically fit, he probably would have been thrown to the ground.
Ye Lingyu quickly came over, took her arm for support, and said directly to Ji Ren and Ning Yu, "I'm sorry, everyone, thank you for your help today. My sister is not feeling well, I'll take her back to her room first."
"Madam Cheng, you are too kind. Manager Ning and I have been very troublesome today and have caused you a lot of trouble."
"Madam, please help your younger sister back to rest. Manager Ji and I will take our leave now."
Chen Sheng also pulled the dazed Meng Aji towards the door.
The oxcarts at the entrance had already been adjusted and were waiting orderly on the road.
One vehicle after another, following Ning Yu and Ji Ren, slowly departed from Mengjia Village.
She originally wanted to keep Meng Aji and Chen Sheng with her, as she had something to say to Meng Aji.
Seeing that Chen Sheng was in a hurry, but Meng Aji seemed a bit out of sorts, and that now was not the time to talk, Cheng Qingyan told them to leave as well.
Although most of the furniture was placed in its proper place, there were still some small items that needed to be moved.
Moreover, Hongyu was in an abnormal state just now, and with Ye Lingyu and Jiang Jiang accompanying her, theoretically nothing unexpected should have happened.
However, she was still a little worried.
Hongyu's reaction just now was too direct and intense, which is very different from her usual personality.
Lowering his head, Cheng Qingyan sighed.
I've often seen Ye Lingyu and Hongyu have physical contact, but I've never seen Hongyu react so strongly.
Today, Meng Aji simply touched Hongyu's arm, yet she reacted with such resistance.
In front of everyone, she could sense that Hongyu was trying to restrain herself, but she still couldn't succeed.
This inevitably reminded her of a serious problem: although Hongyu's physical wounds had healed, the abuse Wang Tiezhu had inflicted on her over the years seemed to have never truly left her.
Even though she is now safe, Wang Tiezhu may never have the chance to see Hongyu again in his life, but the demonic image he left in Hongyu's heart has never left her for a moment.
Arriving at Hongyu's room, Cheng Qingyan knocked on the door, and Jiang Jiang ran over to open it.
"Father, Aunt Hongyu, she's crying..."
Cheng Qingyan patted Jiangjiang's head: "Jiangjiang, be good. Your Aunt Hongyu almost fell, she was scared. Don't be afraid, Jiangjiang~"
Jiang Jiang and Cheng Qingyan did not go inside, but sat down on the steps at the entrance.
At first, Cheng Qingyan sat down, but later she simply lay down.
Jiang Jiang followed suit, and the two of them, one big and one small, lay half-lying on the steps and under the corridor.
As for comforting people inside the house, Ye Lingyu can handle that alone.
She's still posing as a man, and if she goes in again and frightens Hongyu, it would be a loss.
The crying inside the room gradually subsided until it disappeared completely.
Not long after, upon hearing footsteps, Cheng Qingyan and Jiang Jiang instinctively sat up straight from the ground.
As soon as Ye Lingyu and Hongyu opened the door to the room, they saw Cheng Qingyan leading Jiang Jiang, who was sitting properly on the steps at the door.
Then they all stood up and smiled at them.
Hongyu was a little embarrassed. She was such a grown-up, yet she was still crying, and what's worse, Jiangjiang, a little kid, saw it.
"My lord, Jiangjiang, I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine now."
Cheng Qingyan held Jiang Jiang's hand and smiled at Hongyu.
Ye Lingyu came over and patted the dust off Cheng Qingyan and Jiang Jiang: "Ayan, you too, how could you bring Jiang Jiang to sit on the steps? Have you forgotten how many people have stepped on these steps today?"
"Both of you, one big and one small, are covered in dust. You two will have to wash your own clothes today."
Jiang Jiang frowned and looked at Cheng Qingyan. Cheng Qingyan pretended not to see her pleading look and looked up at the sky.
When his plea for help failed, Jiangjiang ran to Hongyu and shook her arm.
Hongyu's eyes were still red from crying, and her voice was still a little nasal: "Jiangjiang, don't be afraid, Aunt Hongyu will help you wash."
"Yay! Aunt Hongyu is the best! Daddy's naughty!"
Ye Lingyu looked helplessly at Hongyu, who doted on Jiangjiang too much. This child had learned that if he couldn't get anything from her and Cheng Qingyan, he would cause trouble for Hongyu and Mu Zhiyue.
This time, Cheng Qingyan didn't plead for her. While doing the laundry, he also washed Ye Lingyu's clothes along with the clothes.
This wasn't the first time she had done laundry, but it was one of the few times she had ever done it.
The house renovation is almost finished today, but there are still many small details that need to be made after they move in.
Today, the fish fry, chickens, ducks, and geese were the first to be put into the pond. Since then, she has been so busy that she hasn't been able to check on them again.
I'm not too worried about the chicken coop; there are people specifically in charge there.
She temporarily placed the fish fry in the pond in the yard.
The pond is now full of fish fry, and many shrimp and crab seedlings have also been released into the pond.
These seedlings have just arrived in this water; we don't know yet if they will be able to adapt.
She had put nutrient solution in these ponds early on to increase the survival rate of the seedlings and help them grow faster.
The section of the river that was blocked off had a relatively large opening in the fishing net, so the fish fry had to be raised for a long time before they could be released into the river.
Because she was worried about the fish fry in the pond, she got up twice in the middle of the night to check on them.
They disturbed Ye Lingyu, and when they woke up the next day, both of them had panda eyes.
After being mercilessly mocked by Jiang Jiang, Cheng Qingyan took Jiang Jiang to the village to find Meng Aji.
Yesterday, Meng Aji and Chen Sheng helped me carry things, and before I could properly thank them, they left in a hurry.
Those who came to help at the soap factory all received double pay yesterday.
Meng Aji and Chen Sheng had been busy for more than two hours, so even if it was just to settle their wages for a day, they still had to be paid.
I don't know why, but I just don't want to talk to those who ask for money before they've even started working.
It's not targeted at anyone, it's just plain annoying.
They searched for Meng Aji in the village for a long time before finally finding his house.
Unfortunately, no one answered the door when I knocked.
As Jiang Jiang and I walked back, preparing to go to Chen Sheng's house again, we heard someone shout, "What are you doing!"
Cheng Qingyan and Jiang Jiang were taken aback. Then, Cheng Qingyan took Jiang Jiang's hand and walked into the alley on the right.
Just then, Chen Sheng was about to help Meng Aji, who had fallen to the ground, up. Meng Aji's clothes were disheveled, her hair was loose, and she had injuries on her face.
