Chapter 124 Ershun and Xiaofeng got together (third update)

Chapter 124: 124 Ershun and Xiaofeng got together (third update)The smell of urine immediately permeated the dark space, most likely offending a certain little snake, which bit someone’s thigh without hesitation. "Ah..." Two screams came from the deep darkness of the alley. The families nearby, whose lights were lit, came out to see and found two unemployed men scared to the point of wetting their pants. So those who came out to check all withdrew, "Walking the night roads too much, they must have encountered ghosts." Indeed, there might be ghosts; the two immediately clutched their heads and ran for the hospital, the lighting was too dim to see what kind of snake it was, whether it could prove fatal. In the darkness, Ye Cheng’s figure lightly opened the gate of a certain courtyard, where Lao Jian and Ye Fei had already been waiting, and upon seeing the return of their master, both approached warmly, "Master, you’re back." Ye Cheng said nothing and went straight upstairs. Ye Fei and Lao Jian exchanged glances. What’s with master? Unhappy? Didn’t master just go see Su Xiaofeng? How could he be unhappy? Just as the two were about to whisper and gossip about whether master and Su Xiaofeng had been kissing, Ye Cheng came down from upstairs and directly approached them, his words succinct, "At the dumpling shop, what did I do to Su Xiaofeng?" Why would master suddenly ask this? Could it be he did something to Su Xiaofeng and has no memory of it? The two exchanged glances quickly, struggling with how to begin. "Speak," Ye Cheng suddenly grew irritable. "Master." Ye Fei raised two fingers and slowly brought them together, "That day some hot sauce splashed on your sleeve, and Su Xiaofeng helped you clean it, and of course, we didn’t dare look, so we went back to the kitchen. Then inadvertently we found you and Su Xiaofeng like this, like this." The fingers slowly coming together should make master understand what they mean. Ye Cheng looked at Ye Fei’s gesture, and his face immediately darkened. Kissing Su Xiaofeng? How could that be possible? He turned and went upstairs, bang, the room door closed tightly. "Ye Fei," Lao Jian’s voice trembled, "what does master mean by this? He and Su Xiaofeng, that... had no effect?" "It’s possible, if the boss had any memory of it, he wouldn’t be asking us. In that case, master must have been suffering an episode, and Su Xiaofeng took advantage of the situation." "You think taking advantage of the boss when he’s vulnerable is easy? That’s asking for trouble," Lao Jian wasn’t convinced. "So that means, when the boss has an episode, Su Xiaofeng can get close to him and even has a way to treat the boss." Let’s call it a way for now. "But it seems like the boss isn’t too willing," pondered Ye Fei, recalling the boss’s just now unpleasant expression. "I really didn’t notice," Lao Jian stretched his arms: "Alright, let’s sleep. Who knows which bastard advertised our dumpling shop, these past two days we’ve been so busy, I’ve had no time to rest at all." Having a few customers each day would do, more than that he couldn’t handle, and after all, the master wasn’t relying on such a small dumpling shop for money. —— Early in the morning, Luo Yuzhu brought Lin Yue to visit, with Lin Yue complaining to her mother on the road, "Mom, why are you bringing me along? I heard that the Wu Family’s eldest’s illness is contagious, what if I catch it, then what?" Luo Yuzhu gave her an unhappy glance, "The Wu Family’s eldest may be sick, but Ershun is not. Wu Ershun is only a few years older than you, you’re both young, isn’t it good to get to know each other?" "Mom, let me make it clear, I don’t want to marry into the Wu Family," Lin Yue, believing herself to be beautiful, certainly won’t stay in this small county to live: "Mom, the world outside is vast, can’t you look beyond the Wu Family?" "You think it’s so easy to marry into families out there," Luo Yuzhu laughed: "Alright, it’s just a visit to get acquainted, you don’t have to do anything. If you have someone better, of course, I’d support it." If her daughter married well, she as a mother would have a glow on her face, wouldn’t she? "Aunt Wu, our Jianguo heard that Yifan’s sickness got better, specially told me to visit and inquire about you. Yifan’s better now, isn’t he?" Luo Yuzhu naturally couldn’t just speak directly about Ershun and Xiaofeng as soon as she arrived at someone’s house. Speaking of Yifan, Grandma Wu’s smile deepened, "Seriously, thanks to Ershun and the old traditional Chinese medicine doctor he found, the medicine is really good. After a few doses, not to mention Yifan’s appetite has improved, but he’s also become much more spirited. If this continues, Yifan can definitely get better." "Ershun really is thoughtful," Luo Yuzhu offered a smile, "In that case, there is hope for Yifan’s illness. I’m here to congratulate you, aunty." "Yifan is destined for great things; minor illnesses cannot hold him back," Grandma Wu mentioned happily. When Yifan was born, someone who could tell fortunes said that his future was limitless, and if he had lived in ancient times, he could have become an imperial advisor or marquis. "Yes, yes, Yifan is a lucky person," Luo Yuzhu held a smile at the corner of her lips, "Auntie, I’ve actually come today to discuss another matter, too." "If it’s about Yifan’s marriage, there’s no need to discuss it. The eldest has said that he doesn’t want to get married now; he just wants to focus wholeheartedly on getting better," Aunt Wu interrupted Luo Yuzhu mid-sentence. "It wasn’t Yifan, it was Ershun." Luo Yuzhu didn’t know how to broach the subject, and cursed Xiaofeng in her heart, you damn girl, there are so many people you could mess with, but you just had to pick Ershun. Is Ershun someone you can even think of pursuing? Old Mrs. Wu furrowed her brows, "What’s wrong with Ershun? He’s been running around for Yifan’s illness recently." "Ershun is a good kid." Luo Yuzhu sighed lightly, "It’s my no-good daughter who is to blame. Auntie, because of this, I’ve cut off our mother-daughter relationship. I had no other choice but to come here and inform you, so that you could be prepared." Old Mrs. Wu sensed something off in Luo Yuzhu’s words, "The one who wanted to marry our eldest last time? What’s happened to her?" Luo Yuzhu hemmed and hawed. Lin Yue let out a light laugh, finding it all hard to say, "Old Mrs. Wu, Ershun and Su Xiaofeng got together." Luo Yuzhu’s expression turned awkward as she took in the situation, "Auntie, it’s Xiaofeng, that child doesn’t understand anything. I already scolded her severely last night and cut off ties with her. But seeing that Ershun is quite protective of her, I thought it over and decided it’s best to tell you." Thwack— Old Mrs. Wu’s palm struck the wooden table, causing a dull thud to echo. Luo Yuzhu’s eyelids twitched. Lin Yue hooked her red lips slightly, a triumphant look in her eyes. "No wonder she looked down on my eldest last time, so she was eyeing Ershun from our family. She’s nothing but a worn-out shoe, yet dares to set her sights on Ershun, as if she wants to transform into a phoenix." Obviously, Old Mrs. Wu was angry. Just listen to the audacity of it all. A woman already pregnant with child and saddled with baggage, really thinks she can marry into the Wu Family. "Auntie." Luo Yuzhu said sheepishly, "This girl doesn’t know her place, thinking too highly of herself, and blames me for not disciplining her from a young age. Now I have even less control over her. I’m helpless. Rest assured, whatever your family decides to do, I have no objections. I’ll act as if I never gave birth to her." The Wu Family would definitely not agree to Ershun being with Su Xiaofeng. Offending the Wu Family could never lead to a good outcome, and soon she might need to leave this place. "Alright, I got it. I’ll take this matter seriously. My Ershun is such a good man; she, a worn-out shoe, also thinks she can touch him. Don’t even think about it." No wonder Ershun had been frequently visiting Xiqian Town lately. A few days ago, he was even selling some chili sauce for someone, surely it was Su Xiaofeng who put him up to it. seaʀᴄh thё nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Such a scheming woman; Ershun, such a simple child, is no match for her. Having conveyed her intentions, Luo Yuzhu left with Lin Yue. "Mom, do you think the Wu Family will kick Su Xiaofeng out of the county town?" Thinking of this possibility, Lin Yue was visibly excited. Luo Yuzhu looked embarrassed and wondered if she had been too heartless toward Xiaofeng. Although Xiaofeng wasn’t her biological child, after all— Sigh, it’s all her own doing. She couldn’t blame herself. "What good could come from offending the Wu Family?" replied Luo Yuzhu. "Exactly—" Lin Yue glanced at her mother’s expression, and her own face subtly shifted, "Mom, why aren’t you happy? Don’t you have feelings for her?" "After all, she is your sister." "She isn’t." Lin Yue insisted firmly. She would never acknowledge Su Xiaofeng as her sister for the rest of her life. Old Mrs. Wu stood up to make a phone call, "Jiaojiao, come back home. There’s been a big incident." — Wu Ershun sat in the kitchen helping with the fire while Su Peng sat beside him, staring at him. "Peng bro." Ershun took a candy out of his pocket, "Here, for you." Su Peng’s eyes lit up, then he shook his head recalling something, "Xiaofeng said to keep an eye on you making the fire." "One person is enough to make the fire; there’s no need for two. Peng bro, you stay here and keep it going, I need to use the restroom." From making fire at Liuye’s home to becoming a servant at Su Xiaofeng’s house—what kind of logic was that? In the courtyard, Su Xiaofeng was picking the yellow leaves off the leeks. Ye Cheng’s gaze lingered thoughtfully on her lips for a few seconds, wondering if there had been anything between them— Su Xiaofeng looked up just as Ye Cheng’s handsome hands were helping her with the work, feeling a bit ashamed, "Ye Cheng, you should sit down, I can manage it." Such handsome hands weren’t made for laboring; it almost felt like a great sin to use them for such work.
