Chapter 86 They actually tried to steal my man?
Fortunately, the girl paid Peach Blossom to help him, which restored his essence and yang energy, preventing him from turning from a teenager into a man in his forties.
He didn't answer Jiang Cuier, but instead asked Zhao Taohua:
"Peach Blossom Sister, did I just do a good deed?"
Zhao Taohua nodded.
However, doing a good deed almost got him into trouble.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Feng immediately laughed and told Jiang Cuier that he was fine when she asked.
Anyway, the essence and yang energy that had been drained from him by the female ghost had all returned, so he hadn't lost anything.
He believed that as long as he did more good deeds in the future, he would be rewarded and meet a good wife.
Jiang Cuier asked Zhao Taohua, "Miss, my name is Jiang Cuier, and this is my younger sister, Jiang Juer. May I ask your name?"
"Zhao Taohua".
Jiang Cuier smiled and nodded: "I understand. I'll come back tomorrow to return the money to Miss Zhao."
Seeing that Jiang Cuier had finally finished speaking, Jiang Juer quickly pulled her away.
Just now, my sister actually introduced her name in front of so many people. Now, that employer Shen knows what her name is, the one who shamelessly tried to take advantage of him!
Jiang Ju'er blushed. The ripe persimmons hanging on the treetop were so embarrassing!
However, Employer Shen is indeed handsome, but why does he have a head of white hair?
After Jiang Cuier and her sister left, Zhao Taohua also prepared to leave. She was going to the village chief's house to ask him to remind everyone to hurry up and build the thatched shed.
There are only ten days left until the hail and the sharp drop in temperature.
"Peach Blossom Sister, thank you just now."
Just as Zhao Taohua was about to take a step, she heard Shen Ming's voice.
If it weren't for her, he would have ended up like Zhao Feng.
She tilted her head back and smiled, "Brother Shen Ming, don't be so polite. You've helped me a lot, so it's my turn to help you."
Zhao Taohua was surprised to find that after the New Year, she started to grow taller rapidly.
Looking up at Shen Ming now, the perspective is completely different~
This body is finally developing; I wonder how tall it will grow?
……
When Zhao Taohua arrived at the village chief's house, the village chief immediately said after hearing what she said:
"Peach Blossom, don't worry, I'll go and urge everyone to hurry up in a bit."
I'd rather hire two more people to finish building the shed sooner; that way I'll feel at ease.
"Peach Blossom, how long will this hail last? And how long will this sharp temperature drop last?"
Since the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone has been busy building thatched sheds for the medicinal fields, and they have had no income for almost a month.
If there's hail and a sharp drop in temperature, everyone will have to stay at home again. That won't do.
I need to make money!
"Grandpa Village Chief, the hail and sharp drop in temperature will last for another half a month."
During this period, it's best to avoid going out unnecessarily to prevent being hit by hail or suffering frostbite. Please prepare firewood in advance as before and keep warm by heating your kang (heated brick bed) at home.
The village chief nodded repeatedly after hearing Zhao Taohua's instructions, as it concerned everyone's lives and health.
The next day, Jiang Cuier knocked on Zhao Taohua's door and returned the 930 coins to Zhao Taohua.
"Miss Zhao, thank you so much for yesterday. May I ask what the name of the older brother who helped my sister yesterday is?"
I want to thank him in person.
Jiang Cuier asked.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Taohua glanced at the basket in her hand and pointed out the location of the Zhao family's old house.
"He's my cousin, his name is Zhao Feng," Zhao Taohua introduced.
She came alone today; I guess her sister felt embarrassed.
Jiang Cuier thanked Zhao Taohua again and then left.
Jiang Cuier repeated Zhao Feng's name in her mind, feeling as if she had heard it somewhere before.
Inside the Zhao family's old residence.
When Zhou heard someone knocking on the door, she went to open it and was surprised to see a girl who looked somewhat familiar.
"Aren't you the girl who asked for directions with her wheelbarrow yesterday? You're looking for Shen Ming, how did you end up at my house?"
As Zhou spoke, she looked behind her and found the place empty; no one was pushing a wheelbarrow today.
“Auntie, I’m not here to see employer Shen today. I’ve come specifically to see Brother Zhao.”
Yesterday, my sister accidentally became possessed by an evil spirit. Brother Zhao almost harmed him, but fortunately, Miss Zhao intervened in time, and everyone was safe and sound.
I brought ten eggs today as a token of my gratitude.
As Jiang Cuier spoke, she removed the old cloth covering the basket.
Zhou was surprised; Xiao Feng had done such a good deed.
Why didn't that child say anything yesterday?
Zhou pretended to be polite for a moment, then led Jiang Cuier to the kitchen to put the eggs down.
She asked, "Young lady, which village are you from?"
"Auntie, I'm from Black Bull Village."
After saying that, Jiang Cuier was about to leave.
Zhou thought to himself, although Heiniu Village and Zhao Family Village are neighboring villages, it takes crossing a mountain to get from Heiniu Village.
To express her gratitude, she made a special trip and even brought ten eggs. Zhou couldn't help but feel that Jiang Cuier was very pleasing to the eye.
"Young lady, what's your name? Stay for a bowl of tea before you go, and sit a while longer."
Xiao Feng is working in the medicinal herb field. I'll go and call him back. Would you like to thank him in person?
Zhou asked.
"Auntie, my name is Jiang Cuier. You don't need to be so polite. This is enough to express my gratitude."
Jiang Cuier spoke as she walked out.
Zhou looked at her with a smile, wanting to persuade her to stay, but unfortunately, Miss Jiang was unwilling.
Zhang Caixia saw this scene as soon as she arrived at the entrance of the Zhao family's old house, and a surge of anger instantly rose in her heart.
She glared at Jiang Cuier, who had just come out of the Zhao family's old house, and cursed, "Jiang Cuier, you shameless thing, how dare you steal my man?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped Jiang Cuier across the face, catching her off guard.
The crisp sound of a slap rang out, and Zhou looked at Jiang Cuier's face. A clear red handprint was left on it, and her cheek swelled up as well.
"My goodness, Miss Jiang, are you alright?"
Zhou wanted to rub Jiang Cuier's face, but she was afraid of hurting her.
Jiang Cuier was suddenly slapped, and she gasped in pain.
She glared at Zhang Caixia, her eyes burning with fury, and loudly questioned her:
"Zhang Caixia, what right do you have to hit me? Where have I been shameless? What have I done to steal your man?"
If you can't give me a straight answer, I'll slap you back!
Jiang Cuier's eyes were sharp; she didn't seem to be lying at all.
Standing to the side, Zhou saw Jiang Cuier's sudden change in expression and felt that the furious Jiang Cuier was a completely different person from the polite one just now.
It turns out that this young lady Jiang has such a fiery side.
When Zhang Caixia met Jiang Cuier's gaze, she couldn't help but feel a little scared. However, she was in the right and had nothing to fear!
"You're shameless. Aunt Zhou was supposed to be my future mother-in-law. Did you come here today to curry favor with her so you could marry Brother Feng?"
Zhang Caixia rolled her eyes dismissively, as if she had already guessed Jiang Cuier's thoughts.
Jiang Cuier suddenly realized why Zhao Feng's name sounded familiar. It turned out that he was the Zhao Feng who was willing to spend fifteen taels of betrothal money to marry Zhang Caixia, but then broke off the engagement with her.
"Snapped!!!"
Before Zhang Caixia could finish speaking, a loud slap landed hard on her face.
The slap was extremely powerful, making Zhang Caixia's head buzz and causing her to stagger and almost fall over.
Her eyes widened in shock and disbelief as she covered her cheeks and demanded, "You dare hit me?"
