◎Coveting bad things◎
Zhong Yulan was furious when she saw that Jiang Che looked at her as if she didn't exist. She hadn't seen him for more than a month since they last met in the park. After finally meeting each other, he ignored her. Zhong Yulan felt that her sincerity had been betrayed and was very sad.
Thinking back, I don't know if someone said something in front of my eldest sister and brother-in-law, but they suddenly didn't agree with her continuing to live here, saying that it would be bad for a girl like her to live in a yard full of men, and they insisted that she go back.
Today, it was only because her sister came to visit her brother-in-law that she was able to come along to see Jiang Che. She got up early in the morning and waited.
Who would have thought that after finally meeting Jiang Che, the man she had been thinking about all along, he didn't even look at her. It must be that his wife discovered something last time, otherwise Brother Jiang wouldn't be so cruel to her.
Jiang Che didn't have time to pay attention to Zhong Yulan's resentment. He had originally brought the mung bean cakes made by his wife here today, intending to show them off to Brother Wu and have a chat.
Now I don't have any thoughts at all. I just want to finish the matter quickly and leave.
Seeing that Wei Xuan finally had the heart to research new food, Wu Yun was surprised and picked up a piece to try.
After swallowing a mouthful, Wu Yun patted the residue on his hands and said, "Hmm, is there any milk powder added to this? Why does it taste like milk?"
...
...
Jiang Che praised: "Wu Angkor is really amazing, he can tell the difference right away after just one bite."
"That's not as good as your wife's cooking. The price will definitely be raised after adding milk powder. As usual, you go to work first. I need to think about it before setting the price. We'll settle the bill tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll go first then."
When he reached the door, he met Zhong Yulan who was about to come in. Jiang Che just walked past her as if he didn't see her.
Wu Yun didn't notice anything wrong between them and just kept inviting his sister-in-law to come in and try the mung bean cake.
Hearing her brother-in-law's greeting, Zhong Yulan withdrew her gaze from Jiang Che's back and said, "Hey, here I come."
Here, Zhong Guilan was also eating a piece of mung bean cake, praising as she ate: "Jiang Che's wife is really good at cooking. She can make mung bean cake so delicious. Yulan, you like sweet food, this will definitely suit your taste."
Zhong Yulan forced a dry laugh and picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.
“Is it delicious?”
Zhong Yulan said casually: "It's not bad, I think it's just average."
"Really?" Zhong Guilan tasted it again and asked in confusion, "I think it tastes good?"
"Everyone has different tastes. Maybe this mung bean cake may not suit my sister's appetite." Wu Yun interrupted.
Zhong Guilan felt that what the man said made sense, so she didn't think much about it.
But Jiang Che, who came to the office, was unhappy.
He didn't like Zhong Yulan, and could even be said to hate her.
Ever since he realized Zhong Yulan's feelings for him, he didn't want to have any contact with her anymore. He also didn't like the way Zhong Yulan looked at him, which made him feel sick.
He couldn't be happy when he thought that he might have to see her often in the future.
At this time, what he was most looking forward to was for his wife's shop to open soon, so that he would not have to continue cooperating with Wu Ge in the future, and he would not have to meet Zhong Yulan again.
Thinking of this, Jiang Che did not go home after get off work in the evening, but went to inquire about houses again.
Wei Xuan waited at home for a long time but no one came. Seeing that the food was getting cold, she was about to take her child out to check.
Jiang Che came back pushing his bicycle. Seeing his dejected face, he asked him anxiously, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"No," Jiang Che said after parking the car, "I just went to look for a house, wife, but I didn't find the house you wanted."
"Oh, I thought it was a big deal. I'm not in a hurry about it, so why are you in a hurry? Go wash your hands quickly. The food is getting cold. Let's eat first."
Jiang Che walked with her to the main hall and sat down. Wei Xuan finally realized, "Hey, that's not right. What happened to you today? Why did you suddenly want to find a house? You didn't tell me before you left in the morning. I was worried that something happened to you on the way and you didn't come back so late."
Jiang Che's words were on the tip of his tongue, but after thinking about it he swallowed them back. He was already annoyed enough by himself, so he better not say it out loud and annoy his wife!
"It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered that I haven't asked for a long time. Maybe there is something new that I don't know about, so I forgot to tell you."
Wei Xuan glared at him and said, "Then next time if you have something to say, remember to tell me in advance, don't let me wait anxiously at home."
"Got it, eat now."
In Wu Yun's small courtyard in Jingshi, Zhong Guilan was thinking about how to tell the man what her sister had said to her during the day.
Unexpectedly, Wu Yunxian asked her, "Do you have something to tell me?"
Zhong Guilan was shocked: "How do you know?"
"I've noticed that you've been absent-minded the whole night. Tell me, what's the matter? Are you hiding anything from me?"
Zhong Guilan thought for a moment and said tentatively: "Then I'll tell you, whether you agree or not, don't be angry."
"Speak now, don't be angry."
Seeing that the man was in a good mood, Zhong Guilan gritted her teeth and said it.
"Why do you have such an idea? The things Jiang Che sent are selling well because they are delicious. If they didn't have time to work and they trusted me, they wouldn't have entrusted their things to me to sell. In the end, I am still benefiting from them. Why do you think they are taking advantage of me?"
Zhong Guilan originally thought that her younger sister was right. Why should they get the lion's share of the profits from the food they delivered without taking any risk, while her own man could only earn so little hard-earned money?
With the mentality of speaking up for her man, Zhong Guilan couldn't help but speak out her true feelings to Wu Yun.
But when she saw Wu Yun was so angry, Zhong Guilan regretted it.
But she was not good at speaking and couldn't think of any words to explain for a long time. Wu Yun saw her hesitating for a long time and was sweating profusely, but he didn't have the heart to yell at her anymore.
He sighed helplessly and told her slowly.
"You only see that Jiang Che can earn so much money by delivering things, but have you ever thought about whether these things are so simple to make? If they are simple, why don't others make them? They earn money with their skills, but I earn money through hard work. There is no comparison."
After a pause, Wu Yun saw that his wife still seemed to understand, so he continued, "Another reason is that Beijing is so big, and I am not the only one doing business like mine. There are four or five places I know of, and there are many more I don't know about. The reason why I have been able to develop so fast in the past few years is largely due to the things Jiang Che sent me."
"You don't believe it?" Seeing Zhong Guilan's surprised face, Wu Yun explained to her.
"In our business, the most important thing is to have abundant supplies. People should be able to buy whatever they want from you. The food made by Jiang Che's wife tastes good, so many people are rushing to buy it. Over time, the reputation spread, and more and more people came to me to buy things. Isn't this a blessing for me? And these benefits are not obvious and cannot be calculated, so don't think they are taking advantage of me in the future."
After hearing what he said, Zhong Guilan realized that she was wrong and quickly apologized to Wu Yun: "I will definitely not do it again next time. I am just, I am..."
Wu Yun knew that she saw that the mung bean cakes were selling well today, but when she heard him calculate, she realized that he would only get a small portion of the money, so she had this idea in her mind, but there was no need to force her to say such an embarrassing thing out loud.
So he comforted her, "Okay, just don't mention this anymore."
The next day, Zhong Guilan pulled her sister aside and gave her a good talk.
"It's all your fault. If you hadn't told me so much yesterday, how could I have told your brother-in-law about this and almost made him angry."
Zhong Yulan didn't believe that Wu Yun was really willing to give so much money to Jiang Che, and she had no idea at all, so she asked her sister: "What did your brother-in-law tell you?"
"It's just..." Zhong Guilan stopped talking and said, "Why are you asking so many questions? Anyway, don't talk about this anymore. You just need to know that your brother-in-law didn't suffer any loss."
Although Zhong Yulan had helped here before, everyone did not allow her to have direct contact with customers in order to protect her. It was only yesterday when Wu Yun was here, and mung bean cake was a new food, that she accidentally learned from Wu Yun that Wei Xuan could make so much money from what she made.
At that time, she thought that if she had a daughter-in-law who was so good at making money, Jiang Che would never see her, so she instigated her sister to complain to her brother-in-law.
As long as her brother-in-law listens and stops paying Jiang Che such a high price, it will be time for her to come on stage.
Section 46
As long as she can help Jiang Che, she believes Jiang Che will definitely discover her good points and fall in love with her.
So she had to know why her brother-in-law disagreed so that she could find another way, otherwise she would not do anything at all.
Zhong Guilan was annoyed by her pestering, so she finally gave in and repeated to her sister what the man had said to her last night.
After listening to this, Zhong Yulan looked thoughtful. So that's how it is.
Seeing this, Zhong Guilan said worriedly, "Don't think about it anymore. Mom has already written to you some time ago saying that she is arranging a marriage for you. You can play here for a few days and then go home obediently."
"I know." Zhong Yulan said impatiently. When she thought of the men her family told her about, she got angry. It was bad enough that he was a million miles away from Jiang Che, and he was not even as good as her brother-in-law. She would not marry him.
Wei Xuan didn't know that someone not only dared to covet her husband, but also wanted to ruin her business.
She had been observing Jiang Che these past few days, and she felt that something was wrong with Jiang Che, for example, he was sighing while eating.
Wei Xuan, who had been patient for several days, finally couldn't help it anymore and asked him, "What's wrong with you? You've been absent-minded for a while. Tell me what's wrong and see if I can help you. Don't keep sighing in my ear. It's annoying."
Jiang Che didn't know whether he should tell his wife about this. He looked at Wei Xuan's face and hesitated to speak. Wei Xuan saw that he was so uncomfortable, so she slammed the table and shouted, "If you have something to say, just say it quickly. Don't hesitate and make people feel uncomfortable."
"Oh," Jiang Che put down his bowl and chopsticks and decided to speak out what he had been hiding for several days.
Wei Xuan was furious after hearing this. She had seen thick-skinned people, but had never seen someone so shameless.
After finally suppressing the anger in her heart, Wei Xuan asked him, "So what do you think?"
