Chapter 38

Chu Wanying came out of the fabric shop and wandered alone on the street.

Having just punished Chu Yunting and made her embarrassed in public, I felt extremely happy.

Anyway, the two of them had already formed a feud, so they didn't care about this one more thing.

After walking around, maybe she was used to having someone by her side, even if the person was a boring gourd, she felt comfortable in her heart. Now that the man was not around, she suddenly felt a little lonely.

Habit is indeed a terrible thing.

Chu Wanying wandered around for a while, and finally returned in frustration and went back to the shop.

In the shop, the master bricklayer has led a few people to work on the backyard, and Chen Er and Li Xiaolian are taking care of it in front.

No matter how you look at yourself, you look like a superfluous person.

There’s absolutely nowhere to stay!

Chu Wanying could not help but feel a little melancholy. She sat on the threshold of the door with a wooden stool and stared blankly in silence.

At noon, Li Xiaolian was finishing her work and had some time to take a drink of water, when she saw her sitting at the door with a frown on her face.

"Sister Wanying, why are you so listless? Did something happen?" She walked over, sat down on the ground next to her, and asked in a low voice.

Chu Wanying still kept her hands on her chin, looking blankly at the action in front of her. After a long while, her mouth finally moved, "Xiaolian, do you have a goal in life?"

"What is the goal of life?" Li Xiaolian didn't understand her meaning.

"That is, what is your greatest wish?"

Hearing this, Li Xiaolian glanced at Chu Wanying beside her, saw her serious expression, pursed her lips, and said honestly, "Sister Wanying, my biggest wish in this life is to find a husband and live a good life."

When Chu Wanying heard this, she tilted her head and looked at the girl. When she was about to say, "Can you stop being so superficial?", she thought about it and stopped immediately.

Women in ancient times regarded the three obediences and the four virtues as the most important maxims. No wonder Li Xiaolian had this idea.

Chu Wanying patted the girl's shoulder and said in a tone of experience, "It's a good idea, but emotional matters need to take their own course, don't force it! In addition to marriage, why don't we find a realistic goal?

"

When Li Xiaolian heard the first half of her words, her expression suddenly changed, wondering if she had read her thoughts, but when she heard the second half of her words, she really couldn't figure it out.

"Realistic? How do you say this?"

"Realistic means something that is more reliable, such as how much money you can make! How big of a store you can open! Similar to this, women can not only pursue love, but also pursue career success!"

She tried her best to express her meaning clearly in simple and plain language, but Li Xiaolian still didn't seem to understand her intention and looked at herself blankly.

What Chu Wanying didn't know was that Li Xiaolian was already very uneasy in her heart, and she was always worried that she might have guessed something before she said these words.

What is realistic! In fact, it is to let her give up her unrealistic ideas.

He also asked her to pursue a career, which was obviously telling her to calm down and work hard!

Li Xiaolian felt that Chu Wanying was teasing her!

Willows planted unintentionally create shade.

The few words Chu Wanying said unintentionally made the girl think more about it, and she was hit by it unintentionally.

It's just that those who have suffered and suffered cannot easily let go of the happiness that is easily available. Therefore, even if Li Xiaolian felt that Chu Wanying was warning her, she still had no intention of giving up.

Li Xiaolian bit her lip, "I don't understand what Sister Wan Ying said."

Don’t understand? Is it that difficult to understand?

Chu Wanying thought about it, it doesn't matter, she is a yellow-haired girl after all, and her experience is still too little. Let's talk to her slowly when we have the opportunity in the future!

"Okay, no more gossiping, go get to work first!" Chu Wanying stood up and patted her butt.

Li Xiaolian nodded in agreement and went to the back to work.

While working, I was still wondering what Chu Wanying's words just meant.

Here, Chu Wanying was thinking about how boring it was to stare at the shop and whether she should go out for a walk again. When she raised her eyes, she saw a well-dressed woman walking in.

She immediately stepped forward and greeted her warmly, "Madam, do you need anything?"

When the visitor heard the voice, he was startled for a moment, then he turned his attention to her, looked her up and down, and said with a smile, "It's the boss of Wangyun Tower who asked me to come over and say that he wants to order another fifty shi of rice."

"So many?" Chu Wanying frowned.

In just two days, the restaurant ordered 100 kilograms of rice. Even those who are engaged in restaurant business do not need so much rice!

The woman smiled and said, "Little girl, you are surprised. Others are eager to sell more points when doing business. But from what you are saying, do you think we bought too much?"

"No, no, I was just curious, so I asked quickly." Chu Wanying explained with a haha.

"Haha! The little girl is interesting. Here are the banknotes, a total of one hundred taels. They must be delivered to Wangyun Tower before evening!" After the woman said this, before Chu Wanying could say a few more words,

Then he turned and left.

Chu Wanying took the banknotes and thought to herself, if the owner of Wangyun Tower is so good at hoarding food, her store will be sold out sooner or later!

It seems that she needs to use all the land in the space for farming as soon as possible, otherwise she will be left with nothing!

——————

Wangyun Tower, a private room on the second floor.

"Qi Yun, what do you think of this newly opened restaurant? The decoration is nice!" Li Che poured a cup of tea for the girl and said warmly.

There were five or six people present, and they all knew what Li Che was thinking about Qi Yun, and they all hurriedly agreed, "That must be good! It's not like we, the second young master, have put in so much effort to help you, Miss Qi!"

"That's right! When Wangyun Tower first opened, the second young master didn't even have the intention to come. He just wanted to come with you when you come back. Our Li Che's thoughts on you are truly ascertainable as the sun and the moon.

ah……"

The fox friends next to him were joking and cheering, and Li Che was happy to see it happen, but he knew Qi Yun's temperament, and what annoyed them the most was their glib tongue, and their lack of a proper dandy appearance all day long. So he signaled with his eyes, and they stopped in understanding.

Stop talking.

However, this time Qi Yun did not get angry immediately. Instead, she raised her eyebrows with interest and asked the person next to her, "Oh? Are you really that good to me?"

When she said this, she didn't look at Li Che at all, but instead looked at the man opposite who had been silent since he sat down.

Li Che followed her line of sight and when he looked at the man's stern and solemn expression, he knew what she was thinking. His face froze and he did not reply immediately.

Qi Yun suddenly lost her temper, tossed her chopsticks, and said angrily, "Li Che, I'm talking to you!"

"Oh, that's natural." Li Che reacted and said with a smile, "The whole Yunqing County knows my feelings for you!"

"Besides, we are all engaged, do I need to say more?" When he said this, he glanced at the man sitting opposite from the corner of his eye.

He admitted that he did it on purpose.

He and Qi Yun were childhood sweethearts and grew up wearing the same pants.

The Qi family was from a scholarly family, and the Li family was also a well-known local family, so the two families matched each other. When the two of them were still wearing crotchless pants, the elders of the two families decided to get married without permission.

It's just that when the girl grew up, she had someone else in her heart. No matter how he showed his kindness, the other person never looked at him.

When he thought of this, Li Che felt a little depressed and drank all the wine in the glass.

"Li Che, what nonsense are you talking about!" Qi Yun was most annoyed when he mentioned the engagement between the two.

After saying that, I didn’t forget to stare at the man opposite me, for fear that the other person would misunderstand me.

It's just that the man didn't seem to care at all, he only concentrated on drinking the tea in the cup, his expression was calm, and he looked calm and relaxed.

Qi Yun felt a little bitter in her heart, but she was still explaining, "Those are just words said by children when they were playing around, and they can't be counted at all!"

"Are you kidding?" When he said this, Li Che's voice was slightly raised, obviously with annoyance.

Perhaps because he was drunk, or because he was surrounded by old friends, his face was disgraced by women, and his temper also grew.

"Qi Yun, we exchanged the marriage certificate and tokens in front of both families. How can you describe this as a child's play? What do you think of our Li family!"

"Li Che! You are crazy! You dare to yell at me!"

Li Che had never been so cruel to her before, not even when he spoke loudly.

For a moment, Qi Yun was a little confused by his attitude, and her face felt dull. She immediately became angry and said, "What I said is the truth. The old man and the others decided on this marriage at the beginning, and they did not go through me."

With their consent, why should I listen to them!"

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, everyone around them hurriedly grabbed Li Che and tried to persuade them to make peace, "Ouch! Why is the Second Young Master so angry today? Okay, as a brother, I will apologize to Miss Qi for him!"

"

After the man finished speaking, he raised his head and drank a drink.

The other people also had a drink each. Qi Yun's face softened a little, but she was still angry in her heart. If it weren't for the fact that the person opposite was still there, if she had had her usual temper, she would have thrown away her sleeves and left!

Li Che also knew the reason for her unusual behavior today, and his face was still dark, showing no signs of softening.

There was a man in a green robe. Seeing that something was wrong, he winked at the people around him and then said with a smile, "Look at my memory. Yesterday Li Che asked me to buy some good things for Miss Qi.

I was in a hurry today, but I still left it in the shop. Just wait for me, I'll go get it right now!"

The other people immediately understood that he was spending money to coax women on Li Che's behalf, but they all blamed him, "You have such a bad memory, why don't you go quickly!"

After talking and joking a few times, the man in green was ordered to go out.

Rong Zhan took a sip of tea and glanced at the man who left in a hurry

He had seen this person before, he was Lu Mingze, the young master of the Lu Family Bank.

Looking at his behavior, he is a person who values ​​affection and justice.

"Brother Rong, why do you keep drinking tea instead of alcohol?"

Rong Zhan withdrew his gaze, raised his eyes and glanced at the man sitting next to him who was smiling maliciously, and said in a deep voice, "Rong never drinks."

"Oh! Then you are obviously not giving us face!"
