Chapter 275 The Female Cannon Fodder Who Falsely Claims Favors in the Historical Literature 16
It turned out to be Liu Hongjuan and Liu Qingqing!
She had some impression of the clothes the two of them wore when they went out today. After looking at their figures carefully, she realized that it was indeed them.
Previously, the two men had hunched backs and it was difficult to see them clearly, but now they straightened their backs and seemed to be looking around and asking something, so Jiang Yueshu recognized them.
Who is that man opposite?
Why should they be afraid of the villagers?
Jiang Yueshu unconsciously stirred the plump white flour dumplings in the big bowl. Cheng Shuo, who had been paying attention to her, finally spoke up, "What's wrong with you? Are you not liking it?"
Jiang Yueshu paused and shook his head, "It's okay."
Seeing that she seemed a little absent-minded, Cheng Shuo wanted to ask her something but didn't know what to say. Then, seeing that there were so many people around him and it was not convenient to speak, he didn't say anything else, but silently quickened his eating.
Jiang Yueshu thought that he had not finished his work yet and was in a hurry to eat, so she quickened her pace.
After a while, the people at the table of three stood up.
When they all turned around, Jiang Yueshu confirmed their identities. She was not mistaken, they were indeed Liu Hongjuan and Liu Qingqing.
"Do you know the man walking at the back?" Jiang Yueshu suddenly asked Cheng Shuo.
Cheng Shuo stopped eating with his chopsticks and turned to look over there.
Liu Hongjuan was anxiously looking around for something, and when she saw the table in the corner, her face suddenly changed color. Seeing that Cheng Shuo was about to turn his head and see them, she quickly took three or two steps forward to stand in front of Liu Qingqing, then raised her arm and pretended to wipe the sweat off her face.
At the same time, she held Liu Qingqing with one hand, wiped the sweat from her forehead with the other hand, and ran out quickly.
The man following behind saw the two men quicken their pace and couldn't help but speed up to catch up.
Fortunately, before Cheng Shuo turned around, Liu Hongjuan and Liu Qingqing had already turned their backs to him. Liu Hongjuan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they were not seen.
What she didn't know was that Cheng Shuo was not looking at her at all, so she naturally didn't know that Cheng Shuo could see the entire face of the middle-aged man behind her.
Liu Qingqing, who had just walked out, was a little confused, "Mom, why did you suddenly pull me?"
She always felt that something was wrong with her mother today. She had almost finished her meal, but she didn't know what was wrong with her mother and why she ate so slowly all of a sudden. She also forced her to lower her head while eating.
She had been hanging her head in a stalemate, and her neck was sore. Now she was pressing it slowly with one hand to ask.
Liu Hongjuan paused for a second and explained as if nothing had happened, "Qingqing, be careful when we go out. Don't let the villagers see us. Go back and tell your father! If he knows that we eat alone, he might look at you differently!"
Although Qingqing is her biological daughter, she is not from the Jiang family after all. This is spending the Jiang family's money on a little girl. Not to mention Jiang Aiguo, even Grandma Jiang would not be the first one to agree.
Liu Qingqing shook her braided hair nonchalantly, "Mom! I get it! But I guess few people in the village would be willing to eat here!"
At most, some wealthy educated youth would come over for a meal, but they would not chat with the villagers casually. She could just look for an educated youth with a good family background.
She has been having a hard time finding a job recently. She does have a position as a worker in a garment factory, but someone else is interested in her and she is thinking about how to use her connections to get the position.
Liu Hongjuan agreed with that, but after all, she had just run into Lu Jianjun and Cheng Shuo in succession. She felt guilty and a little scared, so she quickly scolded her daughter to speak in a lower voice.
"Stop talking! Didn't we run into Lu Jianjun and Cheng Shuo today? Let's stay away from them, in case someone comes out and sees us."
Liu Qingqing pouted reluctantly and stood a little further away from Liu Hongjuan.
Wang Chaoyang, who had just caught up with the mother and daughter, saw Liu Qingqing's aggrieved look and gently persuaded Liu Hongjuan, "Okay, Hongjuan! It's okay, Qingqing, just speak in a lower voice."
Only then did Liu Qingqing suppress her unhappy expression and looked at Wang Chaoyang with some excitement.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang is always the best to me!"
She knew clearly in her mind that Uncle Wang worked in a garment factory. If she had his help, wouldn't her work be better arranged?
Although she had some doubts about her mother's childhood good friend, so what? She had eaten the meals Uncle Wang treated her to and spent the change Uncle Wang gave her. As long as it was beneficial to her, she didn't need to know much else.
Liu Hongjuan's face turned red at Wang Chaoyang's gentle tone and smile, and she glanced at Wang Chaoyang with some anger.
Wang Chaoyang's heart was moved and his smile became even wider. When the two looked at each other, sparks and stars flashed.
"Let's go. I happen to be free today. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative and see if you and Qingqing need anything."
Wang Chaoyang was in a good mood. He waved his hand and took the mother and daughter to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Liu Qingqing walked in front with great interest, curiously looking to see if the supply and marketing cooperative had received some new goods, without paying any attention to what the two people behind her were talking about.
Anyway, her mother has told her that she will talk to Uncle Wang about the work matter.
On the other side, when Cheng Shuo saw the man's face clearly, he began to recall and spoke after a while.
"That person seems to be from Lianhua Village. He is considered a celebrity in their village. I heard Hao Zhi mention him."
"My name seems to be... Wang Chaoyang. He said he was a worker in a garment factory. Hao Zhi and I have met him before. Hao Zhi told me so."
Seeing that Jiang Yueshu still looked curious, Cheng Shuo racked his brains to search his memory for what Hao Zhi had said to him at that time.
"Well... Hao Zhi said that everyone in the village said that Wang Chaoyang was lucky to meet a noble man when he was young and then he got a job as a worker in a garment factory."
Cheng Shuo thought about it and only remembered this much. He couldn't help but say embarrassedly, "Sorry, that's all I remember. I'll tell you when I get back and ask Hao Zhi!"
Jiang Yueshu shook her head. A garment factory worker?
Is it because of work that you are inviting people to dinner?
"It's okay. If it's inconvenient for you, I can go ask Comrade Hao."
When Cheng Shuo thought about Jiang Yueshu going to see Hao Zhi alone, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable and said immediately.
"That's convenient! I'll tell you when I ask!"
Jiang Yueshu looked at him curiously, looking anxious and eager. Cheng Shuo belatedly explained, "It's not appropriate for you and Hao Zhi to ask alone. He, he has someone he likes. I'm just worried that they'll see it and affect their relationship."
Cheng Shuo felt a little guilty and made up a story about someone Hao Zhi liked. Afraid that Jiang Yueshu would ask him about it, he lowered his head and ate hard to avoid her sight.
Jiang Yueshu suddenly understood and nodded, "Okay, I understand."
After eating a dumpling, she suddenly remembered something and looked up to ask, "What about you? Comrade Cheng, do you have a partner? Or someone you like?"
Cheng Shuo, who was concentrating on eating, choked for a rare moment. He quickly picked up the big bowl and took several big gulps of soup to relieve the choking.
Depend on!
It’s all his fault!
After his esophagus was cleared, he blushed and said, "No, I don't have a partner, and I don't have anyone I like. Don't worry, you can ask me!"
Jiang Yueshu smiled and replied perfunctorily, "Yeah, yeah."
Cheng Shuo absentmindedly stole a few glances at Jiang Yueshu, and when he saw that her bowl was almost empty, he immediately quickened his pace to eat his meal.
Cheng Shuo's business was not finished yet. In the morning, he was worried that Jiang Yueshu would not be able to find him when she arrived at the place, so he went to the agreed place in advance to wait for him. Therefore, he had to go to the black market in the afternoon.
Jiang Yueshu was a little curious, so she suggested going with them.
Cheng Shuo refused hesitantly, "It's quite dangerous over there, not very safe, why don't you wait for me here!"
"Unsafe? Then I'll go too, and we can take care of each other!" Jiang Yueshu blinked.
Cheng Shuo "......"
He took one look at the girl with thin arms and legs, who was just up to his chest, and cried out in his heart, She's crazy!
"If someone comes to check, you have to run out and hide immediately! This is speculation!"
Cheng Shuo looked serious, trying to make Jiang Yueshu realize how dangerous this matter was.
Jiang Yueshu quickly raised her hand and assured: "I can run! I run very fast!"
Cheng Shuo: “…”
He remembered that the little girl had fainted several times.
"Do you really want to go? Didn't you faint several times in the village?"
Jiang Yueshu: "......"
She fainted, she was pretending!
Explanations were fruitless, so Jiang Yueshu had to use the example of their first meeting, "I have a strong burst of power! Have you forgotten the first time we met, when the wild boar suddenly jumped out, didn't I immediately climb up the tree?"
Cheng Shuo remained skeptical about this, but the clear desire and desire in Jiang Yueshu's eyes finally made him give up the idea of not letting her follow.
"...Then you must stay by my side for a while. Don't be more than two steps away from me. Cooperate with my actions!"
Seeing Cheng Shuo give in, Jiang Yueshu nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, I agree!"
Cheng Shuo: ...Okay.
I can see you really want to go...
Led by Cheng Shuo, Jiang Yueshu and Cheng Shuo walked into a small alley in twists and turns. As soon as they entered, they could see people squatting outside several doors of the surrounding houses, as well as some people who came to sell loose goods.
To be on the safe side, Jiang Yueshu specially summoned the system and asked it to pay attention to the area around the entrance and tell her immediately if anything happened.
Jiang Yueshu followed Cheng Shuo and looked curiously at what others were selling. There was a wide variety of things for sale, except that they were a little more expensive. The key point was that no tickets were required.
Almost everyone who came and went here covered up to some extent, as if they didn't want others to see their true faces. Even Cheng Shuo and Jiang Yueshu played their roles at the right time and covered up for him.
Cheng Shuo approached a man outside a house with familiarity. The two looked at each other and exchanged a secret signal, then the man led Cheng Shuo and the other man into the house.
When they arrived at the house, Jiang Yueshu could see more clearly what kind of goods were inside. Cheng Shuo told her that he already had an established relationship with one of the big dealers in the black market, so the prey he could send could be delivered directly to her without having to be sold separately.
After a while, Cheng Shuo came out of the house after finishing his business, and Jiang Yueshu followed him out.
As she was walking, Jiang Yueshu saw a woman wrapped tightly in a scarf coming towards her. She was holding a backpack and looking back as she walked. Her guilty and frightened look was too obvious, and it seemed like she was coming to the black market for the first time.
Jiang Yueshu looked at the woman's familiar clothes...
This dress... looks like Zhao Xue?
Jiang Yueshu stopped involuntarily, and her eyes followed Zhao Xue's moving figure.
Cheng Shuo in front had no idea that someone had fallen behind. He took a few steps and subconsciously looked around, only to find that she was gone!
Cheng Shuo's heart suddenly started to beat fast. He immediately turned around and looked back. When he saw the woman standing still, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran a few steps to Jiang Yueshu's side.
Following Jiang Yueshu's line of sight, Cheng Shuo also saw the sneaky figure, "What's wrong?"
"I want to see what she sells?" Jiang Yueshu pointed.
Cheng Shuo nodded, paused, and in the next second he directly held Jiang Yueshu's hand through her sleeve, avoiding the latter's somewhat curious gaze, and explained in a whisper, "I, I'll hold your hand. It's not safe here with so many people. This way I can feel more at ease."
Jiang Yueshu nodded, "Okay."
Walking to Zhao Xue's position, Jiang Yueshu cleared her throat and changed her tone, "What are you selling?"
Before she and Cheng Shuo came to the black market, she had changed her appearance, so Zhao Xue couldn't recognize her at all now.
Zhao Xue pulled back the torn cloth on the backpack, and the exceptionally tender and bright green vegetables and fruits inside were instantly revealed. They looked to be growing very well and looking very juicy.
Jiang Yueshu stretched out her hand to pull it away, then looked at Cheng Shuo again. Both of them could not hide the shock in their eyes.
Not to mention vegetables, there were quite a few kinds of fruits in the basket alone, including apples, peaches, and grapes, and each one looked juicy and crystal clear.
The point is, it’s not summer yet, so how can there be peaches and grapes in this season?
Jiang Yueshu calmly supported the backpack. The basket was not light. Based on her understanding of Zhao Xue, it was impossible for her to walk briskly while carrying such a heavy basket.
In addition to the space she could use, Jiang Yueshu had some guesses in her mind, maybe Zhao Xue had a farming space?
"Can I try one?" Jiang Yueshu pointed at the bunch of juicy purple grapes and said in a muffled voice.
Zhao Xue frowned slightly, feeling extremely disgusted with the unconscious person in front of her who wanted to take advantage of her. But thinking that this was her first time here and Lu Jianjun was still waiting for her, and not wanting to waste any more time here, Zhao Xue casually picked a grape and handed it to Jiang Yueshu.
Jiang Yueshu didn't answer, but continued, "The comrade next to me wants to try it too."
Zhao Xue paused, then picked another one in a rather frustrated manner.
Jiang Yueshu then took the grape and handed the remaining one to Cheng Shuo under his strange look.
As soon as you put it in your mouth, you can feel the sweetness and deliciousness of the grapes. After eating one, the fragrance lingers in your mouth and you can't stop.
