Chapter 422 I Want to Go Shopping
Zhou Jinman wanted to say something, but the maid beside her touched her arm. She glanced at her but didn't say anything else.
"Since there's nothing to do, go and rest first." Aunt Qing waved at her.
Zhou Jinman pouted and left unhappily.
Aunt Qing rubbed her head with a headache. Zhou Jinman had only been there for a while, but she already felt that the days ahead would not be easy.
At this time, Xiao Wu, who had not yet left, stood up and bowed deeply to Aunt Qing: "Aunt Qing, Miss Yu is sorry to trouble you."
Aunt Qing then realized that Xiaowu hadn't left yet, so she quickly put her hand down and said, "Miss Yu is quite sensible."
She wasn't being polite, she really felt that Yu Jiahui was much more sensible than Zhou Jinman.
When Zhou Jinman accused her just now, Yu Jiahui left so quickly. It was probably because she didn't want to get involved in their family affairs.
Xiao Wu took out a purse from his pocket and placed it on the table: "Aunt Qing, this is Miss Yu's meal expenses here. If she makes any excessive demands, you don't have to pay attention to her. However, she is expected to stay here for a month."
At the end, Xiaowu felt that there was not enough silver in the purse he took out.
"You and Hongyu are good friends. How can we accept money for your friend's sister to stay at our house for a few days?" Aunt Qing asked Xiaowu to put the money away quickly.
In her opinion, how much could a little girl eat? Their family didn't lack that little money.
"Aunt Qing, just accept it. To be honest, I don't know if this money is enough." Xiao Wu said with a wry smile, "Aunt Qing, I'm telling you the truth. Li Ge's sister is used to being willful. She came here to escape her marriage."
At this point, Xiao Wu deliberately went to the door to take a look, then came back and continued, "Aunt Qing, please take her in for a month. Brother Li has already written a letter to the capital, and someone will come to pick her up when the time comes."
"If she wants to go out, Aunt Qing doesn't have to stop her. She's a person who, well, likes to break things. If she breaks something, Aunt Qing can just take the silver and fix it."
Aunt Qing was a little unconvinced: "Miss Yu looks very sensible, how could she like to throw things?"
Although many noble ladies like to throw things when they are angry, Aunt Qing intuitively feels that Yu Jiahui is not that kind of person.
Xiao Wu shook his head and whispered, "Aunt Qing, I've seen her throw things several times, I won't wrongly accuse her."
Although Aunt Qing was confused, Xiaowu's expression was so serious that she had to believe it.
Xiaowu explained everything and left without staying any longer.
Aunt Qing looked at the purse on the table with a wry smile on her face. A guest who loved to throw things and a niece who didn't know how to read people's expressions. It seemed like God was disgusted with her because her life was too smooth.
In order to entertain the two girls, Aunt Qing prepared a rich lunch, but even after all the food was served, Zhou Jinman was still looking out the door.
Aunt Qing started to pick up her chopsticks. Zhou Jinman's eyes were full of disappointment: "Aunt, I want to drink bird's nest."
Aunt Qing glanced at her and said, "Don't talk while eating, and don't talk while sleeping. If you want to eat bird's nest, take it to the kitchen later and ask your maid to cook it for you."
Zhou Jinman lowered her eyes and muttered softly, "How stingy! They don't even have bird's nest."
Aunt Qing acted as if she didn't hear her mumbling. She introduced the dishes on the table to Yu Jiahui and stopped talking.
Yu Jiahui didn't say anything. She picked up a few pieces of food with her chopsticks, and nodded and smiled after finishing her meal, meaning that the food was delicious.
Aunt Qing's expression finally relaxed. She glanced at Zhou Jinman and sighed silently.
Seeing that the two men were only focused on eating and ignoring her, Zhou Jinman felt even more aggrieved. She picked up the rice and slowly put it into her mouth.
In fact, the food was not bad, but Zhou Jinman thought she came here to enjoy herself. However, after only being here for half a day, she felt that she was not as good as she was at the Zhou family. The gap between her psychological expectations was too big and it was a little hard to accept.
While Aunt Qing was eating, she observed the two girls carefully. Zhou Jinman was really pampered. She only picked up two or three dishes on the table with her chopsticks before stopping. She even poked the bowl of rice in her hand into pieces.
In contrast, Yu Jiahui had good eating manners and ate quite fast. She ate a little of the dishes on the table, and even ate more of the meat dishes, finishing her bowl of rice.
"Aunt, can I have another bowl of rice?" Yu Jiahui asked without hesitation after finishing the rice in her bowl.
"Of course, if there is not enough food, I will ask someone to make more." Aunt Qing personally served Yu Jiahui another bowl of rice, but she didn't expect that she finished it all.
Aunt Qing glanced at her thin body subtly, wondering how she managed to eat all that food.
"Aunt, I want to go for a walk." Yu Jiahui waited for Yunniang to collect the dishes and then asked Aunt Qing softly, "I wonder if it would be convenient for you to take us there?"
Zhou Jinman's eyes lit up: "Aunt, let my cousin take us for a walk."
Aunt Qing refused directly: "Your cousin's wife is busy and may not be available today."
Zhou Jinman was not discouraged at all: "Then tomorrow."
"I'll ask tomorrow."
"Or I can go ask myself." Zhou Jinman was like an ignorant child, persistently wanting Ye Mingzhu.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Ye Mingzhu walked in from outside while asking.
"Are you my cousin's wife?" Zhou Jinman tilted her head and looked at Ye Mingzhu.
Yu Jiahui just took a glance and bowed her head, and Ye Mingzhu returned the greeting.
Aunt Qing introduced: "This is Master Yu's sister. She came to visit our home with Jinman. This is Zhou Jinman, my niece."
"This is Ye Mingzhu, my daughter-in-law and also my daughter." Aunt Qing introduced Ye Mingzhu in a light and intimate voice.
Mingzhu didn't expect that Yu Jiaming's sister also came, and she was a sensible and polite girl.
"Cousin, is your house big? Can I live in your house?" Zhou Jinman asked impatiently.
Ye Mingzhu raised her eyebrows: "My mother's place is much better than mine. You are from the capital, and you are my niece, but you are a delicate guest, how can you live outside?"
Aunt Qing has already told Ye Mingzhu that if Zhou Jinman makes any unreasonable requests, they should be rejected directly.
Ye Mingzhu's answer really surprised Zhou Jinman. She thought Ye Mingzhu would be embarrassed to refuse.
Before Zhou Jinman could say anything else, Aunt Qing said, "Jinman, you must be exhausted after coming all the way from the capital. Rest at home for two days before going out for a walk."
Yu Jiahui said very perceptively that she was a little tired and wanted to go back and rest.
Zhou Jinman sat down next to Ye Mingzhu as if she didn't know how to read her expression. "Cousin, I like you. I'm not tired of being with you."
"Jinman, you should go back and rest first. You have to visit your fifteenth uncle tomorrow." Aunt Qing took great pains to get Zhou Jinman to leave, and directly mentioned Doctor Zhou.
Zhou Jinman blinked her eyes: "I'm not tired."
