Chapter 110: Ambiguity
Jiang Yihuan blushed, shyly pouting, “Aiya, I’m ignoring you.”
After speaking, she covered her face and ran out of the room.
Xiao Yanci watched Jiang Yihuan’s slender figure, feeling unbearably itchy in his heart.
Ever since he recovered his previous life’s memory, when looking at Jiang Yihuan again, he already regarded her as his own woman.
Unfortunately, the time period when he was reborn back was too early; at this time, Jiang Yihuan was like a shy mimosa plant, completely ignorant of romance between men and women, so he didn’t dare to scare her.
Yang Quan came in carrying medicinal soup.
Xiao Yanci saw Yang Quan, his eyes full of disgust.
Yang Quan was ugly, and he disliked ugly things the most.
Yang Quan hung his head, his voice like a tiny mosquito: “Young Master Xiao, time to take your medicine.”
Xiao Yanci said indifferently, “Just put it aside!”
Peach Blossom Workshop. Su Yaoguang watched Wang Chunhua come out from the bathroom, smiling as she asked, “How do you feel?”
Wang Chunhua touched her waist and said, “I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I feel a bit thinner.”
“Weigh yourself and you’ll know.” Su Yaoguang pointed to the large scale nearby, “We let the numbers speak.”
This large scale had been bought specifically for Wang Chunhua. She had weighed herself once before the medicated bath earlier; weighing again now would show if the medicated bath had worked.
Wang Chunhua had stayed inside for an hour, half an hour soaking in the medicated bath and the other half enjoying Jiang Jing’s massage service. Jiang Jing alone had limited strength, so Zhang Zhaodi and Zhang Pandi assisted inside. The two followed Jiang Jing to learn massage technique; once they learned it, they could take action directly next time. After all, compared to this young lady Jiang Jing, the two of them had much more strength.
“Lost three jin.” Wang Chunhua exclaimed in shock, “So fast?”
“I prescribed medicine for you; drink a bowl after meals. Rest well tonight, and you’ll lose even more tomorrow. The effect is very obvious at the start, but after a few uses, it slows down a bit.”
“I understand. At the beginning, there’s more flesh, so it reduces quickly. Later when there’s less flesh, it’s not as easy to reduce. I understand all that.” Wang Chunhua said, “What’s that on your face? I feel your skin has become much more delicate after using it.”
Su Yaoguang picked up a box of mud mask from nearby: “This is it. Use it once a day, apply evenly on the face, wash off after a quarter of an hour; it has the effect of caring for the skin.”
“I’ll buy a box.” Wang Chunhua said, “Do you have any other good things? Introduce some more to me; I want to lose weight and become beautiful at the same time.”
“We have quite a complete range of things here; can’t finish explaining them in a short time, and even if we did, you might not understand. Come find us for a massage tomorrow, and we’ll give you skin care; then I’ll explain in detail. We use what you think is good, skip what you’re not interested in.”
“Good.”
“Where are you living now? Can you come every day?”
“I’m temporarily staying at my aunt’s house. My aunt knows about me coming to find you.”
After seeing off Wang Chunhua, Su Yaoguang saw it wasn’t early and was about to close the shop when she saw Su Guilan walk in.
She looked at Su Yaoguang, then at the shop, her eyes full of shock: “Is this shop yours?”
A flash of impatience appeared in Su Yaoguang’s eyes: “What’s it to you? We’re closing; please leave.”
“I’m your aunt; is this how you speak to an elder?” Su Guilan put her hands on her hips, speaking aggressively.
“Big sister, big sister, someone is bullying Yaoguang.” Zhang Yingdi shouted loudly toward the inside.
Zhang Zhaodi had just gone in to drink a cup of water; hearing Zhang Yingdi’s shout, she immediately rushed out, grabbed the feather duster nearby, ran over to stand in front of Su Yaoguang, and upon seeing it was Su Guilan, swung the feather duster at her.
“Who let you in? Get out, get out, get out; you’re not welcome here.”
“Zhang Zhaodi, have you gone mad? I’m your sister-in-law, and you dare treat me like this.”
“Pah, I’ve long had no relationship with your family; the deed of severance of kinship is still there in black and white, with that old hag and the old fart’s red handprints.”
“Even if that’s the case, they’re still your in-laws, and I’m still your sister-in-law. Fine, Zhang Zhaodi, now that you’re earning money, you turn your back on people.” Su Guilan shouted loudly. “When Zhong Lanhua went back to the village and said it, we didn’t believe her, but it turns out she was telling the truth. You deliberately schemed to sever ties just to come to the city and live well, without honoring your in-laws. I’m going to report you.”
“Report it, go ahead and report it; how those two old things schemed against my daughter, schemed against me—the old lady has it all noted down, just waiting to settle the old scores with them.”
Zhang Zhaodi swung the feather duster while speaking.
Su Guilan wailed from the beating and had to retreat outside.
Zhang Yingdi and Zhang Pandi each pushed one door leaf, closing the main gate.
Su Guilan pounded on the door, howling dryly outside: “Zhang Zhaodi, Su Yaoguang, you two wait for me; this matter isn’t over.”
Only after there was no more sound outside did Zhang Pandi peek through the door crack; not seeing Su Guilan, she then opened the door.
Zhong Lanhua was cracking melon seeds under the eaves opposite, looking like she was enjoying the show.
“This Zhong woman really fears the world isn’t chaotic enough; deliberately bringing us bad luck.” Zhang Pandi said angrily, “Back then, if not for her, you would have been the embroiderer selected by the embroidery shop. All these years, she’s deliberately tripped you up in the village, making the villagers trouble you orphan and widow. Now that you’ve moved to the city, she just has to go to the place opposite, clearly deliberately making trouble for you.”
Zhang Zhaodi stormed angrily toward the backyard.
Su Yaoguang hurriedly followed her: “Mom, what are you doing?”
“I’m going to splash manure water across; give that stinking mouth of Zhong Lanhua a good wash.”
“Mom, we’re opening the door to do business now, harmony brings wealth; we can’t do such unfriendly things, it’ll scare away customers. If customers see us being so fierce, how would they dare come in?”
“Just let it go like this? I can’t swallow this anger.”
“You can go vent this anger now, but with no customers for a month, would you be willing?”
Zhang Zhaodi: “……Not willing. Why should a cheap person like Zhong Lanhua make me suffer losses?”
“Exactly. We have to vent, but not now, and not openly. We can’t vent too obviously; it has to be in a way that leaves no handle.”
Zhang Zhaodi perked up immediately upon hearing this.
As long as she could vent this anger, how didn’t matter; the result was what mattered most.
“We’ll do it like this…”
Zhang Zhaodi listened to Su Yaoguang’s whispers, her eyes full of excitement.
“We’ll do it just like that.”
Zhou Wangshu was copying books when the sweet scent of pastry wafted to his nose; he knew Su Yaoguang was bringing pastries over.
He set down the brush in his hand, got up to open the door, and happened to meet Su Yaoguang who was about to knock.
Su Yaoguang raised her arm, bent her fingers to knock, and knocked on Zhou Wangshu’s forehead. With a thunk, Zhou Wangshu was stunned, and Su Yaoguang was also stunned.
Pfft! She burst out laughing.
