129: Widow Wang's Hint
.
Widow Wang took it and said politely:
"Sister Xu, why did you give so much? These fish balls are really good. How come your girl is so skillful and can make fish balls?"
Seeing that Widow Wang's face turned red with nervousness, Xu Ying was afraid that she would drop the bowl again, so he put the bowl on the kang table himself.
When the brother and sister on the kang saw the fish balls, they quickly scooped one from the bowl and put it into their mouths.
Widow Wang then patted her son's hand:
"You greedy cat, I'll save it for you to make soup tomorrow morning!"
Qin Xiaochuan scratched his hands and didn't dare to eat secretly anymore.
Widow Wang deliberately scolded again:
"Hurry up and write! Copy the words Uncle Hong taught you today several times. Uncle Hong worked hard all day and came here to teach you two how to write. It's not easy for him. You can't let him down!"
"Mom, I get it!" Qin Xiaochuan said impatiently.
Xu Ying rolled her eyes quietly. She could tell that these words were said intentionally for her.
Widow Wang was hinting to her that Hong Cheng was there just to teach her child how to write, and told her not to think too much about it.
It would have been fine if Widow Wang hadn't explained, but after she did, Xu Ying became suspicious.
There are so many children in the company, why doesn't Hong Cheng teach other people's children, but comes to teach your child?
Isn't this still a situation?
But Xu Ying smiled and said:
"Master Hong is really great. He's such a kind person, even thinking of teaching children how to write."
Widow Wang laughed awkwardly and said:
"Yes, he's a high-ranking official in the city after all. He's seen a lot of things. People say that children must not be illiterate. They must learn some culture, otherwise they will suffer greatly in the future."
Xu Ying raised her eyebrows again:
Widow Wang tried her best to distance herself from Hong Cheng in both her words and deeds. The implication of her words just now was that although the senior cadres from the city were transferred down, they were still cadres and were not the same kind as rural women like her, so they should not be dragged together.
This passage is quite convincing.
Hong Cheng is indeed handsome and dignified. He comes from a family of folk artists and is also a provincial cadre. He is truly a high-ranking figure.
In contrast, Widow Wang is a typical rural woman. She is probably not young, in her thirties. Although she is not ugly, she cannot withstand years of hard work and looks very haggard and old.
Xu Ying didn't mean to look down on Widow Wang, but that was the worldly perspective. Widow Wang and Hong Cheng didn't seem like the kind of people who would create sparks.
So Xu Ying was a little confused and didn't know what was going on.
Perhaps - Master Hong is really kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see the children being uneducated, so he came here to teach the two children to read?
Maybe—possibly—?
Xu Ying didn't stay at Widow Wang's house for long. He told Widow Wang that he wanted the chicks.
Widow Wang was particularly enthusiastic this time. She said that she had some good-looking chicks at home and asked Xu Ying to come and catch them tomorrow.
Xu Ying could see that Widow Wang was deliberately trying to bribe her and didn't want her to spread gossip.
Xu Ying didn't want to take advantage of the situation, so he said:
"Oh, I'm not in a hurry. I just want to tell you in advance that I can have your hens lay eggs and give me a few chicks. Your chicks are already the size of a palm. I worked so hard to raise them so big. You can keep them for yourself."
"It's okay, it's just a few chicks, not a rare commodity. I can just apply another batch myself. Don't be so formal. We are like sisters. I don't treat you as an outsider!" New Novel King
Xu Ying: You're calling me sister now!
Xu Ying still refused to accept it. She felt it was shameful for her to take advantage of this, so she insisted:
"If you're like this, then I won't dare to ask you to do it. I'll find someone else—"
Then he stood up and was about to leave.
Widow Wang was so frightened that she quickly stopped her:
"No, no, no, okay, I really can't beat you, ()..
.
Okay, then you just wait a few days, I'll have our hens produce some more chicks for you, and then you can come and catch them."
Xu Ying smiled:
"That's all, fine. It's getting late, I'm going home now. You and the kids should go to bed early."
Widow Wang also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, her face relaxed, and she stood up and said:
"I won't keep you here. Oh, wait for this bowl. I'll pour out the fish balls and you can take the bowl back."
"OK."
Widow Wang lit a kerosene lamp and went to the kitchen with it.
Xu Ying thought that Widow Wang was just going to pour the fish balls, but when Widow Wang came out of the kitchen and returned the bowl to Xu Ying, the bowl was heavy.
Xu Ying didn't expect the bowl to be so heavy. He thought it was an empty bowl and almost dropped it on the ground.
"What is this?"
Widow Wang smiled shyly:
"I've scooped some soybean paste for you to dip into your vegetables."
Xu Ying suddenly became unhappy:
"Oh, you look at me, how could you be like this? How could I take a bowl of soybean paste from you? I won't dare to come here again if you do this!"
"It's okay. The three of us can't finish it anyway. We made a whole jar last year, and we still have plenty. Come and get more when you're done. You're welcome."
"This won't work—"
The two lesbians began to push each other again.
Xu Ying was not pretending to refuse, she really felt that she should not take Widow Wang's things.
It is not easy for Widow Wang to take care of two children alone. She will be embarrassed if someone takes advantage of a widow!
But Widow Wang was not polite and pushed Xu Ying out very resolutely.
Seeing that the bowl of soybean paste in his hand was about to fall, Xu Ying had no choice but to accept it.
Well, I took advantage of someone's bowl of soybean paste today, and I will try to make up for it somewhere else someday.
Also, Xu Ying actually knew clearly that Widow Wang was giving both soybean paste and chicks.
He wanted to shut her up and stop her from telling anyone about running into Hong Cheng at their house tonight.
In this case, Xu Ying must not say a word to anyone.
So, this Widow Wang is really good at handling things.
Widow Wang walked Xu Ying a long distance away from the door of the house. Xu Ying repeatedly told her to "go back quickly, it's dark outside". Only then did Widow Wang stop and watch Xu Ying leave.
Xu Ying felt warm in her heart as she held the bowl of fragrant soybean paste.
She looked around and found that Widow Wang's house was also in a remote area, with no houses nearby.
The nearest house is five or six meters away.
Moreover, there were no street lights at that time and it was pitch black outside. No wonder Hong Cheng dared to come to Widow Wang's house in the dark.
Xu Ying was really worried about those two people. Fortunately, it was him who came to see Widow Wang today. If it was someone else, who knows how the news would be spread?
After this incident, I guess Hong Cheng won’t dare to come to Widow Wang’s house again?
Even if Hong Cheng dared to come, Widow Wang would never dare to let Hong Cheng in again.
Widow Wang should be a person of good character. She has been a widow for so many years without any scandals. This time, she must not fall into the hands of Hong Cheng.
Xu Ying returned home thinking about the two people all the way.
He placed the bowl of soybean paste in the kitchen of the small mud house and returned to the space yacht.
At night, Xu Ying couldn't hold it in any longer, so she muttered a few words to Yu Jiahui. She asked Yu Jiahui:
"Old Yu, what do you think of Master Hong?"
"How's it going? It's pretty good."
"How good is it? Could you please tell me in detail, such as what kind of character is it?"
"How should I know that?"
"You have a good relationship with him, don't you? You even went to his class specifically."
"We've only known each other for a few days and aren't close friends yet. How can I know what kind of character he is? Hey, why did you ask this? What's going on?" Yu Jiahui was a little suspicious.
"It's okay, just ()..
.
I just suddenly remembered it and asked casually.
As he said that, Xu Ying covered his face with the quilt and went to sleep.
