Chapter 215 Diao Nu
Wow! That's amazing! Jin-jie, this old woman doesn't seem to be here to serve others; she seems more like she's going to be your mother-in-law.
With my true nature exposed more, don't I have even more reason to...?
[Understood, what an ignorant and arrogant lackey!]
Chen Jizhou remained expressionless, coldly observing everything, and said to Dongfang Jin with a forced smile, "Yes, the village is quiet."
Meng wanted to say something more, but Chen Jizhou stopped her with a look.
"Jin-jie, this woman is dishonest. And this man isn't a good person either."
Ah, there are quite a few things in this room. There's a whole box of silver ingots, as well as a lot of banknotes and gold and silver jewelry.
The items in the cabinet are more luxurious than what you use. Are you sure this was a servant sent to Gu Chenglin by his uncle?
We'll talk about it when Gu Chenglin gets back. We'll leave soon; it's not worth getting involved with her.
However, she will not send anything here in the future.
Gu Chenglin said that this Chen Jizhou used to be the manager of Jinyulou in Ling'an County, which shows that he is dishonest.
It truly proves the saying, "The emperor is far away and the sky is high."
Shen Qijun paused as he stepped out the door, glanced back at the Chen family couple, and then lowered his eyes.
Every time he brings his monthly allowance here, Grandma Chen asks him all sorts of questions and sometimes makes sarcastic remarks.
Judging from her behavior now, she clearly doesn't respect her aunt at all.
Although he didn't know why his aunt had made her face like that, he thought it might be related to her visit to the Zhang residence.
Since my aunt didn't wash it off, it seems she has her reasons.
It seems he'll have to report to Uncle Chenglin when he gets back. Since they don't want to stay here, there's no point in keeping them around.
"Auntie, I'll be right back. We'll go home together when I get back."
"it is good."
"Hmm..." Gu Jingye slowly opened his eyes.
At the same time, the little boy next to him opened his eyes and saw Gu Jingye, excitedly shouting, "Brother, you're still here!"
Gu Jingye sat up and saw his stepmother looking at him coldly. He felt a little guilty and said, "Step-stepmother."
Dongfang Jin asked with concern, "Does your head hurt?"
Gu Jingye's eyes reddened with emotion, and he shook his head: "It doesn't hurt, I'm just a little dizzy."
"Tell me, what happened?"
Before Gu Jingye could speak, Shen Qihui also woke up.
“Auntie, this isn’t Jingye’s fault. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I was the one who insisted on dragging Jingye to see the birds.”
Dongfang Jin reached out and tapped his forehead, then took out a few bottles of water from her sleeve and handed them to them: "Auntie is asking what happened, not who is right or wrong."
Gu Jingye pointed to the chubby boy next to him and another child who had just opened his eyes and said, "Little Mom, this is Yangyang from Uncle Ma's second brother's family, and this is Xiao Sanqi from Uncle Xie's sister's family."
My brother Xiaohui and I have seen their portraits at home. When we were tired from studying, our uncle would ask us to paint their portraits...
My brother Xiaohui and I saw that they were alone, and we were going to take them to Ping'an Restaurant, but this little Sanqi just had her eye on that bird and refused to leave.
But Xiaohui and I didn't have any money, so we stayed with them for a while longer.
But the bird seller said he had even prettier birds in his shed, birds that could talk, and asked if we wanted to see them.
"We didn't think much of it and just followed them. And then... we got into the bike shed and then I don't remember anything else."
After hearing what he said, Dongfang Jin asked the two younger ones, "How did you get out? Where are your maids and servants?"
Looking at Ma Haiyang, this little boy was chubby and all fleshy, but he was just the right amount of fat, unlike Gu Jinsuo who was so fat that he had no neck.
His big, round eyes sparkled with intelligence. He looked so adorable that one couldn't resist pinching his cheeks, and Dongfang Jin did just that.
Ma Haiyang looked at her and said, "Auntie, I know you."
Dongfang Jin released her grip on his face and tapped his forehead: "Auntie is asking, where are the old women and maids who are with you?"
Song Jiangli crossed her arms and said somewhat angrily, "Mother left my brother and me at the restaurant and went shopping with the eldest aunt and little Yueyue."
They went to places only women go, and as a man, I wouldn't deign to follow them.
Dongfang Jin was amazed by the clever and bright little boy. The child had a pair of bright, piercing eyes, heroic eyebrows, and a high nose bridge, and he did bear a resemblance to Xie Wenna.
"So, you two snuck out and went to the big market?"
Ma Haiyang shook his head: "Auntie, we heard from the customers in the restaurant that there were pretty little birds for sale at the market, so I took my brother and ran out through the back door."
Dongfang Jin was speechless. She should have let Shen Qijun stay a little longer.
It's already noon, and the two little ones' stomachs are already rumbling.
Dongfang Jin looked at them: "Are you hungry?"
Song Jiangli raised his chin and said arrogantly, "This young master is not hungry. That's not my stomach growling."
Haha, this kid is hilarious; he's practically confessed without being asked.
This little one is indeed adorable, but judging from the things people were saying in the restaurant, it seems like they were trying to bait people.
[Aren't they enemies of the Ma family?]
That's hard to say.
Ever since she sold the recipes to Ping An Restaurant, Ping An Restaurant's business has taken a huge hit.
There are two other restaurants to support it; otherwise, Ping An Restaurant would have become the target of criticism from its competitors.
Dongfang Jin suppressed a laugh: "I didn't hear anything. Auntie only heard a little pig's belly singing."
Song Jiangli nodded and said in a serious tone, "That's right, it's the little pig's belly that's singing, not my belly."
Dongfang Jin was amused by the little guy. His proud little appearance was exactly the same as when she first met Xie Wenke. They say that nephews resemble their uncles, and this was absolutely true.
Chen Jizhou then asked with dissatisfaction, "Um, this old servant will go and cook for you."
That dismissive tone... this isn't about cooking, it's clearly about kicking someone out.
really...
Looking at them, Meng said indifferently, "There's nothing left in the house."
Dongfang Jin stopped smiling. If she wasn't mistaken, Xiao Jun had just sent them some things a few days ago, enough for the two of them to eat for a month.
"No need, we'll wait for Xiaojun to come back and then eat at Ping An Restaurant."
Madam Meng sat up straight and said unhappily, "Go to Ping An Restaurant? How much would that cost?"
"Young master, you're just a farmer's son, you don't earn much to begin with, how can you afford to squander it all?"
The manner and tone were just like a wicked mother-in-law scolding a spendthrift daughter-in-law.
Gu Jingye frowned as he looked at the two people. These were the two his father had mentioned? He didn't like them.
"Meng family! Mind your place!" Chen Jizhou said coldly, feigning anger.
Meng retorted, "Am I wrong? She's a peasant girl, and I thought she was good at managing money, but I never expected her to spend money so extravagantly."
No wonder he was abandoned, and he's so ugly... Young Master, please return..."
Dongfang Jin...
Is she ugly?
[Jin-jie, you haven't washed your face yet.]
Dongfang Jin: I see. What, you want Gu Chenglin to divorce her?
Gu Jingye...
Is the young lady ugly?
However, the makeup on the young lady's face, well, it really is a bit ugly.
"Meng, go and cook for the madam," Chen Jizhou was now genuinely angry.
Seeing that Chen Jizhou was angry, Meng Shi also exploded. She kicked her legs and pointed at him, saying, "Well, Chen Jizhou, are you bewitched by this little vixen?"
Seeing the two about to attack, Dongfang Jin angrily rebuked them, "Enough! You two don't need to put on an act in front of me. Pack your things and leave. Go back to where you came from. You're not welcome here."
