"Oh, there's only one restaurant left at the South Pier. I didn't expect it to be yours. They serve so many dishes, especially the stir-fried pork liver. I tried it once, and it was so delicious."
The young wife immediately started talking, and she went along to talk about which store in the town sold vegetables at the cheapest price, and which store sold meat at the best value. In just this way, Ke Xin knew which store in the town had a good reputation and which had a bad one.
"Sister-in-law, count the eggs and I'll buy them all. If you want to sell any later, go to Jiang Yongtian's house in Anjia Village."
The young wife never thought that her good deed would bring her business. She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She counted the eggs in the two baskets and found that there were 65 of them.
"Sixty-five, so count them as sixty. One egg is one cent, so sixty cents will be enough."
The young wife is a nice person. If she hadn't been here today, I might have bought those chickens at a high price. Not only would I have to pay more money to the young wife, but I would have asked for five more eggs in return. This is unacceptable.
In the end, Ke Xin spent seventy cents, including the money to buy the basket. The young wife was very moved and spread the news everywhere about the kindness of the people selling food at the South Wharf.
At that time, a luxurious carriage stopped at Anjia Village.
Han Ruyue brought Nanny Qiao and the servants behind them who unloaded bags of things from the car and moved them to Jiang Yongtian's house.
Aunt Qiao looked at the small courtyard with a wooden fence and a wooden door. It was originally a farmyard, but now there was laughter and joy coming from it. Aunt Qiao was curious: "Such a poor family can still make such happy laughter. It seems that they are farmers with a good mentality. Such a family will raise good children."
Han Ruyue sighed softly, "Even if a child has bad behavior, as long as they don't associate with people of bad behavior, they will be able to learn well in the future. As the saying goes, those who keep company with vermilion become red, and those who keep company with ink become black."
No matter how bad the situation is, as long as she is still alive, I believe she can correct the child's bad habits.
Aunt Qiao nodded and knocked on the open door. "Master Jiang, is Madam Jiang home?"
When the people working in the yard heard these two calls, they stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the door. Ge Shuzhen had never been called "Madam" in her life. She shook off the water droplets on her hands and walked over.
Seeing the two women, who were wearing fine silk and had hairpins in their hair, it was obvious that they were the wives of wealthy families. Facing such wealthy people, Ge Shuzhen suddenly felt inferior to them, and her arrogance was reduced by three points.
"My name is Ge Shuzhen, this is my home, who are you?"
Han Ruyue saw that the woman in front of her was the hostess of this house. She happily stepped forward and immediately introduced herself: "My name is Han Ruyue, and I am Liu Feiyang's mother. I apologize for my intrusion in visiting you today."
After saying that, he grinned and explained, "It's mainly because I like your daughter Kexin so much."
Every mother wants her child to be liked by others, and Ge Shuzhen is no exception. When she talks about her daughter, she immediately becomes emotional: "Of course, my daughter Kexin is not only sensible, but also filial, smart and capable. There is no one in our family who doesn't like her."
After saying that, he turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation: "Madam Liu, it's windy outside, let's go in and talk."
The strong wind was fake, the main reason was that there was a group of villagers outside watching the fun.
As soon as she entered the yard, Han Ruyue saw clearly that the house was almost entirely populated by men, all of whom were busy. There were only a few women among them, and they looked married by the looks of them dressing up.
"The house is messy, ma'am, please don't mind. Please come to the main room."
The distinct smell of large intestine and the smell of ground five-spice powder, these smells mixed together are really... not very pleasant.
main room
When a noble lady came to the house, all the men had to avoid suspicion. Jiang Yongtian and his two brothers went to clean up the house next door, and the remaining boys also went over to clean up. Only the women were left at home.
Inside the room, Ge Shuzhen poured Han Ruyue a glass of boiled water and added some sugar, then said with an awkward smile, "We didn't buy any tea leaves at home, so this is sugar water."
Seeing her reserved, Han Ruyue picked up the bowl and drank most of it without any disdain: "Sweet, delicious."
Seeing that Madam Liu was so easygoing and didn't have so many rules like a wealthy family, Ge Shuzhen felt relieved. "As long as Madam doesn't mind, that's good."
Ge Shuzhen sat on the other side of the table and asked with a smile, "Madam, is there something you want to talk to me about? You can just tell me directly."
I was wondering if there was something wrong with the five-spice powder, or the all-purpose seasoning, or the chopped peppers. Otherwise, why would Madam Liu come to my house in person?
Just as she was thinking this, Han Ruyue smiled and said, "I have to apologize to you first. This is what happened..."
She hurried here from the capital, intending to visit the Jiang family, but her son refused to tell her. She asked the shopkeeper Fang, but he also refused to tell her where the Jiang family was. Finally, she found out Miss Jiang's address after asking others.
Yesterday, I ran into Miss Jiang and a little girl in the backyard of the restaurant. They looked familiar, but I didn't recognize them for fear of misunderstanding. Later, Shopkeeper Fang confirmed that the taller one was Kexin. She had come to the restaurant this morning, waiting for Miss Jiang to fall into his trap...
Han Ruyue was so excited that she almost blurted out, so she quickly changed her words: "Waiting for Miss Jiang to deliver the goods so we can confirm it."
After hearing this, Ge Shuzhen was completely stunned and confused. This lady kept talking about her children. Could it be that her children were in trouble?
But seeing that the other person could still laugh, I thought he must have gotten into some trouble.
"Madam, please confirm that my daughter is..."
Han Ruyue clapped her hands. "I'm here to propose marriage to my good-for-nothing son. I apologize for not asking a matchmaker. I was just anxious... I hope Madam Jiang won't be angry."
Propose marriage?
The corners of Ge Shuzhen's mouth twitched wildly. She probably didn't know her daughter's reputation. Logically speaking, Liu Feiyang's appearance, character, and family background were all impeccable, but...
She sighed deeply, "To be honest with Madam Liu, Feiyang is a good kid. He's well-mannered and polite. His family and character are both from an upper-class family. If this marriage really happens, we'd be marrying up. What a pity... My daughter has such a bad fate."
Han Ruyue waved her hand at the other party and said, "I know, she's a husband-killer. If it weren't for her fate of being a husband-killer, I wouldn't have dared to come here and propose marriage."
Ge Shuzhen was stunned: ....
Could it be that he is dissatisfied with his son for living too long?
Han Ruyue smiled and said, "My son is unlucky in marriage."
So, Han Ruyue told Ge Shuzhen all the stories about her older son. Ge Shuzhen was stunned. How could there be such a person in this world?
But when she thought about how she could become unable to take care of herself just by eating or talking, Ge Shuzhen took a deep breath and trembled all over: "Will my Kexin be in trouble?"
In terms of the degree of control, Liu Feiyang is definitely the most powerful one. My daughter can't catch up with him even if I drive two horses.
