Chapter 356: Front Edge (25)
The problem with the Yan family was easy to solve. After Yan Hai explained it clearly, no one dared to ask about the young man anymore.
As for Liu Zheng, the young man originally wanted to wait for a while before saying anything, but he was too much to talk about, and there were always people with too much free time to pay attention to him. It was inevitable that he would be suspicious when he was not often seen behind Yan Hai's business stall.
Yan Hai tried to evade the question several times, but he always felt that this matter would arouse suspicion, so he took some time to visit the young man's home, explained the matter to him, and asked him to be prepared.
The young man thanked Yan Hai and saw him off, then scratched his head in annoyance.
"Ah, so annoying... Never mind, I should tell them as soon as possible. Confess and they will be treated leniently. I hope they won't be too angry."
The next day, the young man bought two pounds of meat and five ribs and returned to Liujia Village, ready to apologize to the two old people.
It's just that he came back at an inopportune time. Liu Zheng and Xiao Liu were not at home, so Liu Zheng's wife was alone at home taking care of her grandson and looking after the shop.
She was overjoyed to see the young man coming, but after seeing what he brought, she couldn't help but say a few words to him.
"Brother Ze, you are the husband of the Yan family now. It's not good to send me gifts all the time. It will make people gossip. You should take care of yourself more."
She spoke gently and kindly, sincerely thinking about the young man, telling him that if she gave so much to her parents after getting married, her husband's family would feel resentful.
Knowing that she said this for his own good, the little brother also appreciated it, "Don't worry, grandma, I spent all this with my own money. Come, little Jinbao, let brother hug you~"
After putting the things down, the young man lowered his head to tease Xiao Jinbao and took him away from Liu Zheng's wife's arms.
"Err, eh, eh, eh..."
Little Jinbao was not afraid of strangers at all. He let him hold him, looking at him curiously with his big round and watery eyes.
"Haha, you're so good. It seems you still remember your brother." The little boy praised.
Liu Zheng's wife smiled and ruthlessly pierced his thoughts, "He can be held by anyone, but he doesn't want to be alone...Also, even if it's your money, you have to keep it well in case of emergency."
"I know, I know." The young man responded repeatedly, and then asked Liu Zheng where the others had gone.
"They're coming into town, maybe they'll come to your stall to see you, but you're here, so they won't be able to see you."
Younger brother: “…”
Lingchuan: "..."
This is really what a coincidence!
Whether he sticks his head out or shrinks his head, it's like a knife. The boy looks like he has lost all hope in life.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to talk to the kind woman in front of him first to avoid any confusion, "Grandma..."
"What's wrong?" Liu Zheng's wife turned around and asked in confusion when she saw that he looked unwell.
"I, I have something to tell you." The boy hesitated, not daring to look her in the eye.
"Hey, I thought something was wrong. Just tell me if you have something to say." Liu Zheng's wife didn't take it seriously, thinking it wouldn't be a big deal.
The little brother stole a glance at her, then hugged Xiao Jinbao, "Then don't be angry when I say so."
"Are you afraid that I'll be angry? Have you gotten into trouble?" Liu Zheng's wife raised her eyebrows slightly, then shook her head and smiled, "Everyone can get into trouble, but you and I can't think of it."
"Haha...is that so?" The young man laughed dryly. The more he was praised, the more shocking his actions seemed.
"Well, tell me. No matter how big the problem is, I will take care of it for you."
Liu Zheng's wife was very relieved, with such a trusting attitude that Ling Chuan couldn't help but look at her with sympathy.
"Grandma, let's talk inside. I'm afraid someone might come."
The little brother is still so careful.
"Okay, let's go inside and talk."
Seeing him like this, Liu Zheng's wife got up to close the door, and then followed the young man into the room.
"Put him on the bed. There's a rattle to shake, and we're here, so he won't cry." Liu Zheng's wife took a rattle and put it in Xiao Jinbao's hand, and the little boy did as she asked.
After the little one sat down, the two adults also sat on the edge of the bed.
"Can we talk now?"
"Sure... Grandma, tell me, did Grandpa and the others hear something? Did they come to the city to see me?"
"Nothing."
Her smile was unnatural for a moment, and although it disappeared quickly, the young man and Lingchuan saw it clearly.
Well, most likely he heard something and went to check it out.
"Grandma, don't lie to me. I heard everything. In fact, I came back just to tell you about this."
Liu Zheng's wife stood up straight instantly, her face darkening: "What happened to you? Did they bully you, or because you gave one of the ginseng plants to our family and they were unhappy when they found out? So they treated you badly..."
"No, grandma, that's not the case. This has nothing to do with whether or not there is ginseng. In fact, it's me... I'm hiding something from you. It has nothing to do with them. Except for Yan Hai, no one in their family knows that I have dug up ginseng."
After the young man finished speaking, he fiddled with his fingers like a young wife who had done something wrong and quickly glanced at her expression.
Liu Zheng's wife was stunned. She obviously didn't expect the young couple to keep this a secret.
She looked at the boy steadily: "Is this your idea or Yan Hai's?"
Young man: "My idea..."
At this point, there was nothing left to be said, but when Liu Zheng's wife heard that it was the young man's idea, she looked disapproving and wanted to criticize him.
Seeing this, the little brother quickly said, "It's not what you think, grandma, don't be anxious, just listen to me."
Liu Zheng's wife looked at him for a few times and sighed: "Tell me, what's going on that makes you so nervous."
"So what did I say?"
"Say it, I'm going to die of anxiety if you don't say it."
I'm afraid you'll be mad if I tell you...
In the end, the young man still faced death with equanimity and said, "Well, it's not a bad thing actually. My marriage with Yan Hai is fake. He and I have been partners from the beginning to the end. I asked him to help me avoid the official matchmaking, and I helped him get rid of that young man."
In order to avoid arousing their suspicion and making them feel disadvantaged, he deliberately concealed the fact that he had given them two food recipes.
But even so, Liu Zheng's wife, who had prepared herself mentally, was still frightened by his words and jumped up, "What! Fake?"
The sound was so loud that even Xiao Jinbao looked over curiously.
"Yeah." The young man responded softly and took out a small cloth bag from his pocket. This was the one they gave him on the day of his wedding, and he didn't touch the silver inside.
"Grandma, this is for you."
Liu Zheng's wife was furious and didn't care about this. She asked for details in a harsh voice: "Why do you do this? Is it because we are in a hurry to find a husband for you, which makes you feel embarrassed? Do you feel that we are driving you away? Or is it because he asked you for help and asked you to do this?"
It’s over. I’m so angry.
The young man hurriedly shook his head: "No, none of them, it's my own fault... Grandma, don't be angry, it's not worth it for me to get hurt. I wanted to escape the official marriage of the government, and Yan Hai happened to be entangled by someone, so we hit it off and each got what we wanted."
"You... oh, you're so confused!"
Liu Zheng's wife sat back on the bed and slapped her thigh in disappointment.
