Chapter 191 Miss, Let’s Escape from Marriage!
Zhi Nian was walking on the street. She had no place to stay for the past two days. The silver she had on her was enough for her food, but not enough for a place to stay for two days.
It was the proprietress of Taohuazhai who took pity on her and allowed her to live in her backyard after she closed the shop.
As a thank you, Zhi Nian provided the proprietress with two dim sum recipes.
The proprietress is worthy of being a businesswoman. The snacks she sold out during the past two days were completely sold out, and people who came to Taohuazhai to buy cakes lined up for hundreds of meters every day.
In response, the proprietress said that the recipe must be purchased with money, but Zhi Nian was unwilling to accept it.
The two of them pushed it back and forth, and finally the proprietress gave Zhinian 30% of the profit from each prescription.
Zhi Nian just shook his head and said that one layer would be enough. Unexpectedly, the proprietress almost got angry, so Zhi Nian had to accept it and wrote down a few more prescriptions for her.
Zhi Nian was actually reluctant to accept it. After having experienced several senior sisters, the boss lady's sincerity was really rare.
The proprietress lost her husband in middle age and raised her two-year-old daughter by herself running a small business. Now that her daughter has grown up, she has her own shop with her daughter helping her.
The proprietress has not changed her original intention and always feels that the future is promising and this world is a beautiful place.
She would give out porridge, do good deeds and help people in need.
So the rumor that the proprietress of Taohuazhai is beautiful and kind-hearted is not groundless.
The proprietress looks average, and even looks tired from working with her daughter all year round. But sometimes a kind heart is enough to change one's outward appearance.
Her heart is beautiful!
Zhi Nian couldn't refuse and could only accept it with a smile.
A group of people in front gathered in a circle, watching the performance of breaking stones with chests.
Zhi Nian had never seen it before, so he watched from the side.
A carriage gradually approached, and the system's voice sounded in Zhi Nian's mind:
Ding Dong!Ding Dong!
Found the target of the strategy, Jiang Wanyin!
May I ask if the host has any strategies?
Zhi Nian turned around and saw a carriage passing by. She asked the system, "Is there anyone inside?"
The system says, 'Yes, host.'
'Bind.'
System: Congratulations to the host for successfully binding the task object Jiang Wanyin!
Current task target Jiang Wanyin
Current love value: 0%
Current host's health status: 0%
After saying that, Zhi Nian left the crowd and followed the carriage in the direction of Taohuazhai.
Zhi Nian trotted and stopped not far away. The carriage stopped under a big tree not far from Taohuazhai. A maid got out of the carriage and went to line up.
Zhi Nian had a flash of inspiration. He smeared some mud and dust on the ground and rubbed it on his face. He also smeared mud on his clean clothes and ruffled his hair.
It looks a bit shabby, but that's not enough.
Zhi Nian took off his cotton coat and trousers, revealing the worn-out shirt and cloth clothes underneath, and then applied the plaster again.
Over there, Cui Xin had already used sweet words to coax a maid she knew and successfully cut in line, buying the newly-made date cake and winter melon sugar cake.
When getting on the carriage, he complained, "Miss, we are late. There are only these two new ones left, and the other two are sold out."
Cuizhu said, "Come up quickly. Next time, get up early and come to buy."
Cui Xin said "oh", handed the pastry to Cui Zhu, and quickly climbed into the carriage.
The carriage had only gone a few steps when it suddenly stopped and a timid female voice was heard outside.
"Miss, please take me in. I really have no way out. I can do anything."
Jiang Wanyin listened to the noise outside, pulled open the curtain and looked out. There was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing tattered and thin clothes, her little face was dirty and purple from the cold, and there was fear and terror in her eyes.
Those frozen red hands were also dirty, and their slender fingers were covered with frostbite.
The girl looked at him timidly, her eyes full of requests.
Jiang Wanyin didn't say anything for a while, because she just clearly saw that the girl was still watching the performance.
Although the clothes changed, the appearance did not change. Jiang Wanyin saw a pretty and bright face through this dirty face.
She was wondering if this person was someone sent by her father's rival to come to her house and inquire about her father's situation?
When Cui Xin saw that her master didn't say anything, she jumped off the carriage, put her hands on her hips and rudely drove the person away, "Where did you come from, little beggar? Get out of here!"
Zhi Nian shrank back in fear, tears welling up in his eyes, looking extremely pitiful.
Cui Xin clenched her fingers, wondering if she had said something too harsh, and she subconsciously looked at Jiang Wanyin.
"Sister, my...my house caught fire and my father, mother, and brothers all died, leaving me alone.
I am now helpless and can only be bullied. I can’t find anything to do and I haven’t eaten for several days…”
Zhi Nian's tears fell, and he looked at Jiang Wanyin, "Miss, can you please take me in? I will do anything as long as I give you a bite to eat."
Jiang Wanyin watched Zhi Nian shed tears, and for some reason she suddenly felt uncomfortable and depressed in her heart.
The system's voice sounded in my mind.
Current task target Jiang Wanyin
Current love value: 5%
Current host's health: -29%
Jiang Wanyin turned his eyes away, not looking at Zhi Nian's pitiful appearance, thinking in his heart.
Is this a liar? Why does he want to enter Jiang Mansion?
If it causes trouble to my father, then it's okay to bring him in.
Cui Xin saw that Jiang Wanyin didn't look at Zhi Nian and thought that she didn't agree. She felt sorry for Zhi Nian's experience.
Because she and her sister were thrown away when they were very young, just because they were girls.
Then they were picked up by the eldest lady, who treated them very well. She took care of the young lady after she was born until she died of childbirth complications when the young lady was five years old.
Cui Xin couldn't help but speak for Zhi Nian. She spoke carefully, "Miss... this girl is so pitiful. Why don't we take her back?"
Cuizhu frowned and looked at Jiang Wanyin. She disagreed with Cuixin's statement.
There are so many poor people in this world. Should we take every one of them back home?
Jiang Wanyin also glanced at Cui Xin, then looked at Zhi Nian and said, "Take her back."
Having said this, he lowered the curtain of the sedan chair and asked the coachman to drive away.
Cui Xin hadn't gotten on the carriage yet, but she didn't know why the young lady drove away without waiting for her to get on.
But Cui Xin was broad-minded and didn't take the matter to heart. She pulled Zhi Nian up, and the two of them walked behind the carriage. She comforted Zhi Nian.
Zhi Nian nodded timidly and responded timidly along the way.
Cui Xin patted her chest and said, "From now on, I, Cui Xin, will protect you. No one will ever bully you!"
Zhi Nian nodded obediently, "Thank you, Sister Cui Xin."
Cui Xin was conquered by Zhi Nian's constant calling of "Sister Cui Xin" and felt from the bottom of her heart that this little beggar was a good person.
Cuizhu listened to Cuixin's increasingly loud voice outside, glanced at Jiang Wanyin who was resting with her eyes closed, and saw that the young lady did not seem angry.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, Cui Xin...I will go back and teach her a lesson."
Jiang Wanyin still had her eyes closed. She smiled faintly and said slowly, "You are quite smart."
"The slaves dare not."
