Zhong Yuxiu let out a light click of her tongue and planned to ignore him for three seconds. She was really thick-skinned to a certain extent. She couldn't beat him now, and her face was not as thick as his.
They picked up their chopsticks and started eating. Gu Lingguo and the other man served four dishes, and Yan Rushan also brought over a large bowl of frog meat. They ate first, and Gu Lingguo and the other man brought over several more dishes before stopping.
After lunch, Yan Rushan called four large men, who rushed in from outside. To enter the compound, one had to pass through the gate to sign, so Yan Rushan even went out. They drove a truck, but the compound clearly didn't allow trucks in, so they had to lead the man inside, move the sofa from the house he'd been staying in, and bring it to the compound gate, where they loaded it onto the truck.
Yan Rushan followed them and came to the outside of the Zhong family's yard. The residents around the Zhong family's yard heard the sound of a large truck and went out to see. There were three big men standing on the truck, and they looked very strong.
The truck stopped at the gate of the Zhong family’s yard.
The residents around looked over and soon gathered in groups of three or four, pointing at the truck and talking about it.
"Who are these people? They're coming in a truck."
"Someone move."
There was something blocking the truck, so they couldn't see what was inside the truck and kept making wild guesses.
The group got off the truck. Yan Rushan walked to the outside of the Zhong family's yard and knocked on the door. "Knock, knock, knock."
"I'm here. Wait a moment." Mother Zhong was walking hurriedly in the yard, still wearing a handkerchief. She wiped her hands on her apron and opened the door. Seeing Yan Rushan outside, Mother Zhong smiled and said, "Son-in-law, you're here! Come in and sit down. Come in and sit down. I'll get you a glass of water."
"No need to pour the water, mother-in-law." Yan Rushan said, "I'm here to deliver the sofa to you. The sofa is in the car. I'll have it brought down. You can find a suitable place in the house."
"It was delivered so soon?" Mother Zhong was nervous. She felt uneasy facing Yan Rushan.
"Yes, it was supposed to be delivered to you this morning, but something happened that morning and it was delayed, so it was delivered just now."
Mother Zhong shook her head. "It's not too late. Have someone move the things down to the main room. I'll go move the table and chairs out of the way."
Yan Rushan readily agreed. Watching his mother-in-law turn around and walk inside, he waved in the direction of the car. The four big men he called over worked together to unload the sofa from the car. The residents around stared at it until the four big men delivered the sofa into the Zhong family's yard. They had no intention of leaving and continued to gather around to watch.
"Who is this person? I don't think I've seen him before. Is he acquainted with the Zhong family?"
"have no idea."
An auntie nearby said, "This person came here last night and left without entering the Zhong family. He must be someone I know; but I don't know who he is."
"You from the Yun family are closest to the Zhong family, so can you tell us about it?" The implication is that since they are closest, they should know more than them.
Aunt Yun shook her head. "What do I know? I only know that the Zhong family is not ordinary. When they first moved here, you knew what their family situation was like. In less than a year, they got back on their feet. Why do you think that is?"
This means that someone is protecting him. Aunt Yun patted her apron and said, "I have to go back to cook. I won't chat with you anymore."
"Hey, don't go!"
"Tell me more."
"What else can the Zhong family do to have money and want relatives?"
"That's true. Without wealthy relatives to support them, how could they have gotten back on their feet in such a short time? How could they have lived such a good life?"
Aunt Yun no longer cares about them. These women are all gossipy and will get to the bottom of anything they find.
Everyone analyzed it one by one, and they actually figured out something.
"The Zhong family's household registration is still in the countryside, right?" someone asked.
The group looked at each other and then at the person who was speaking; this person was a well-known troublemaker in the area, who could stir up trouble even when there was nothing to worry about. They shook their heads at each other and dispersed at the same time, staying away from her.
The Zhong family didn't offend her, but look at what she said, it seems like she just wants the Zhong family to be in trouble.
Outside the Zhong family yard, there was silence.
"Come, come, put it here, put it here." There was nothing special in the main hall of the Zhong family. There was an octagonal table and four long benches in the middle; there were some small tables and things around it. The whole hall was too simple.
The place where Zhong's mother asked them to put their things was on the right side of the dining table, where there was a space freed up; after the three sofas were put in, the living room seemed crowded.
"Mother-in-law, the things have been delivered. Please take a look to see if they need any modification. If they need to be modified, someone is here and can do it in time." The sofa was placed in that position, and I suddenly felt that the sofa that looked quite high-end before was lowered in style here.
But Zhong's mother doesn't think so. In her mind, usefulness and uselessness are the most important things.
"It's good like this. When guests come in the future, we can invite them to sit nearby. We don't have to make them sit on the bench every time." Mother Zhong said happily, and Yan Rushan just listened.
After Mother Zhong finished speaking, he spoke, "In that case, I'll take my people away first."
"Since you're here, why don't you sit for a while before leaving?"
"No, I have something to do at home. I'll come next time." Yan Rushan led his people away. Zhong's mother followed behind and sent them out of the house. She actually really hoped that her daughter could come home and visit.
They had no contact with each other, and their daughter was neither distant nor close to them; it was impossible for her to come over on her own initiative. She knew this, and she also knew that her daughter was the kind of person who could be moved by small favors; she and her husband could do little and could only do what they could.
The reality is that my daughter is not close to them.
"Mr. Yan, shall we take you directly home now?" asked the big man driving the car.
"No, stop at the bus stop ahead."
"Oh well."
The truck stopped next to the bus stop, and Yan Rushan got out of the car. He touched the money on his body, paid the bus fare, got on the right route, and handed the money directly to the conductor.
Stop at the vegetable market near the compound, there is also a bus stop next to it; when it was planned, this place was planned very smoothly, but it will change sooner or later.
A road is not always usable.
After getting off the bus, Yan Rushan walked into the vegetable market. He was tall and strong, with a straight body; he was not inferior to those soldiers. The key was that he dressed well, had a good temperament, and his face was in line with the current aesthetic. He became the focus of everyone as soon as he walked in.
"Comrade, comrade, here, here, I'm selling pigeons today, do you want one?" A middle-aged man greeted Yan Rushan enthusiastically, trying to attract his attention.
This person is at the entrance of the vegetable market. Most of the people who set up stalls in the vegetable market have paid stall fees; most of the people at the entrance and surrounding areas come to sell things occasionally, commonly known as: mobile vendors.
Most of the things they sell are from their own homes or collected from nearby villages; the items they sell are unstable and the quantity is not fixed.
