Chapter 238 Jiang Yaoyao's Taunting
Jiang Yuwei was a little annoyed by Tiezhu's nagging, so she snatched the hidden weapon from Tiezhu's hand, aimed at the pillar at the gate of the yamen, and threw it up with force. Soon the hidden weapon was discovered by the servant guarding the gate of the yamen, who then pulled it out. Captain Huang, who had just returned from patrolling, saw it and picked up the note to read it.
When Jiang Yuwei saw that the note fell into the hands of Captain Huang, she felt relieved and took Tiezhu and the others to the cloth shop. Now that she had informed the government of the useful information, whether the government could catch the bandits in the future had nothing to do with her. Right now, Jiang Yuwei only wanted to prepare everything quickly so that she could set off earlier.
Just as Jiang Yuwei walked to the door of the cloth shop, she accidentally bumped into someone's shoulder.
"Oh, who is it that walks like that without paying attention? It really hurts me!"
Jiang Yuwei raised her head and looked at that person, only to see Jiang Yaoyao hanging on the arm of the second young master of the Xu residence, frowning and rubbing her shoulders while acting coquettishly towards the second young master.
Jiang Yaoyao turned her head and met Jiang Yuwei's inquiring gaze, then frowned and scolded:
"How unlucky! I run into you even when I'm just browsing in a cloth shop!"
At this time, the second young master who was hugging Jiang Yaoyao also noticed Jiang Yuwei, so he quickly let go of Jiang Yaoyao's hand, scratched his head embarrassedly, looked at Jiang Yuwei and said:
"Jiang Yuwei, I heard from Manager Sun that your shop caught fire and is now closed?"
Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded to the Second Young Master:
"Yes, Second Young Master, I have already sold the shop and I don't plan to do this business again in the future."
Jiang Yaoyao, who was standing by, was already dissatisfied when she saw that the second young master knew Jiang Yuwei. Now she heard that Jiang Yuwei's shop was on fire and that her business could not be done, so she smiled happily and said:
"I told you, you are a woman from a village, why don't you do something else but try to learn how to do business? Now your shop is gone and your business is gone too. Haha, are you giving in?"
Before Jiang Yuwei could speak, the second young master looked at Jiang Yaoyao in shock, then he distanced himself from her and said with a frown:
"Yaoyao, what are you talking about? My business is failing and I'm feeling sad right now. How can you be so sarcastic?"
Seeing this, Jiang Yaoyao hurriedly leaned towards the second young master, and then said delicately:
"Second Young Master, you misunderstood me. I really wasn't being sarcastic. I'm telling you the truth. Jiang Yuwei is actually my elder sister. When she wanted to open this shop, I was not optimistic about it."
Jiang Yaoyao leaned on the second young master as she spoke.
"I always feel that it's not good for a woman to show up in public, but my sister is stubborn and won't listen to my advice. Now that she has suffered a loss, how can I not feel sorry for her? I just hope that she can learn from her mistakes and consider the consequences more before doing things in the future."
The second young master's expression eased a little after hearing this.
"So Yaoyao, you really care about your sister. Ever since you risked your life to save the kitten that fell into the water, I knew you were kind-hearted. I was wrong about you just now."
Jiang Yaoyao saw this and laughed:
"It's okay, Second Young Master, how could I blame you?"
Jiang Yuwei felt a little sick watching the two of them being so affectionate. The sun was about to set, and Jiang Yuwei had no intention of chatting with them, so she directly said to the second young master:
"Second Young Master, I have something urgent to do right now, so I won't chat with you guys."
Jiang Yuwei just turned around and was about to leave when Jiang Yaoyao called her:
"Now that your shop is closed, what urgent business do you have?"
Seeing that Jiang Yaoyao was not willing to give in, Jiang Yuwei turned around, glared at her and said threateningly:
"Jiang Yaoyao, why haven't I seen you interacting with that guy recently? That person..."
After hearing what Jiang Yuwei said, Jiang Yaoyao interrupted her nervously.
"Well, I don't have time to chat with you. Go and do whatever you want to do."
After saying that, Jiang Yaoyao turned around, took the second young master's arm and said softly:
"Second Young Master, I'm a little hungry. Shall we go eat?"
Seeing this, the second young master could only nod and say:
"Okay, let's go to Zuixianlou today."
After saying that, the second young master bowed to Jiang Yuwei and left with Jiang Yaoyao.
Seeing that the annoying guy had finally left, Jiang Yuwei turned around and went into the shop. She bought cloth curtains according to the sizes of the two ox carts and asked the cloth shop to help cut the cloth into eight pieces of the same size. This way, she could hang them directly around the ox carts.
Ning Qiu took Ning Wu and Tie Zhu to buy some spare clothes for the family members to wear on the road.
After buying the things, the group hurried to the umbrella shop. When they arrived, the shopkeeper had already finished the roofs of the two ox carts. Ning Qiu said happily:
"Sister Yuwei, you are really amazing. You have come up with this idea. With this shed, we will suffer less when traveling in the future."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded, then took out forty copper coins from her purse and handed them to the shopkeeper.
Ning Qiu saw this and took out a copper coin from his purse and stuffed it into Jiang Yuwei's hand. Jiang Yuwei waved her hand and said:
"This roof is a gift from me to you. We still have a long way to go. We should help each other more. Don't worry about these small amounts of money. Now that the paper shop has collapsed, your family has no income. We still need a lot of money on the road. You should spend it sparingly. When we arrive in the capital in the future, we will make a comeback and do business well."
After hearing what Jiang Yuwei said, Ning Qiu no longer refused and silently kept in mind all the kindness she had shown to her family.
When everyone saw that they had bought everything, they got on the ox cart and headed for Ningjia Village. By the time the ox cart arrived at Ningjia Village, it had already darkened.
Jiang Yuwei was anxious to go home to make sausages and dried meat, so she didn't invite Ning Qiu and the others to her house for dinner. After returning to the courtyard, Jiang Yuwei called Liu and Ning Daya to move all the things from the car, and then said to them:
"We will be leaving in a few days. Have you packed all your things? We only have one ox cart at the moment, and there is not much we can carry. Each of you only needs to carry a bag close to your body. You don't need to worry about the food I'm going to take with you."
Ning Daya and Liu nodded hurriedly after hearing this:
"We have packed everything and are ready to go at any time."
Jiang Yuwei nodded and prepared to clean the casings, but suddenly Liu grabbed her arm and whispered:
"Yuwei, I have something I want to discuss with you."
As he spoke, he pulled Jiang Yuwei to the corner and whispered:
"I think Goudan and I can't help you at the moment, but you want to take us away from Ningjia Village. We can never repay this friendship. I have been thinking about it all day today, and I..."
Seeing that Liu seemed to be hesitant to speak, Jiang Yuwei spoke:
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to hide the relationship between us."
Seeing this, Liu gritted her teeth and said:
"When Goudan and I go to the capital, we can only count on you. Without your help, we would never dare to think about going to the capital. Now that Daya has signed a contract with you to sell her body, Goudan and I also want to sign this contract with you, so that we can feel better. Otherwise, I really don't have the face to accept your kindness for nothing."
Jiang Yuwei frowned after hearing this:
"Liu, you don't have to think too much. I am willing to help you, and you have also helped me do a lot of work. Everything at home and outside the house cannot do without your help."
Liu cried and shook her head:
"Yuwei, please stop talking. I remember all the kindness you have shown me. I have no other ability to repay you. I can only sign this indenture with you. If you don't agree, then, then I can't go to the capital with you. I can't let you suffer like this."
