Chapter 162 Three people
Hearing that they were selling meals at various construction sites, the boss became interested and ordered three more bowls of iced tofu pudding, then treated them to a meal with a smile.

Aunt Fang knew what this man was up to at first glance, and was annoyed that she had spoken so hastily, so she politely refused.

The boss couldn't help but feel a little anxious and wanted to say something else, but when he saw Jiang Anning reaching out for a bowl of iced tofu pudding, he looked overjoyed and looked at him expectantly.

The mouth is soft when the food is served. Since the little girl has eaten his tofu pudding, she can no longer refuse his questions, otherwise... otherwise she has to pay!
Aunt Fang couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She reached out and pulled Jiang An Ning's sleeve, and whispered, "An Ning..."

This old guy is obviously a weasel visiting a chicken, he has ulterior motives!
Maybe he is thinking of asking them about business matters, and then going over to steal their business!
How could Jiang An Ning not know, it's just... this is the county town, they are doing business in the town, the boss is not crazy, he would not leave his comfortable life and take an hour's ride on a ox cart to compete with them for business.

Besides, those who are willing do not need to be taught.

This isn't a big secret. Even if they don't tell it, the boss will figure it out on his own in time. It would be better for them to do him a favor and make friends with him now.

"Thank you for the gift, boss. I was just thinking of ordering another bowl. Your tofu pudding is really delicious and very refreshing."

Jiang Anning took two bites of the iced tofu pudding and praised it generously.

The boss was praised and was overjoyed: "It's good if it tastes good. If it tastes good, eat more. If you don't have enough, uncle will serve you more."

For a moment, I forgot to ask them where they sold the food.

When he remembered it again after a while, Jiang Anning had already finished the bowl of iced tofu pudding. He didn't know how to start the conversation and ask about it.

The boss was so anxious that he was scratching his head.

It made Aunt Fang laugh.

I didn’t expect that this tofu pudding boss looks smart but is actually a bit stupid.

"Look at you. If you have anything to say, just say it. Are we three women going to eat you alive?"

Aunt Fang said, covering her mouth and laughing: "It's good to be here, my face is red from holding it in."

The boss scratched the back of his head sheepishly: "I just want to ask where you set up your stall. I, I also want to try it."

He looked outside and saw that it was almost evening. The sun was still so hot outside, scorching and blinding. He sighed, "It's getting hotter and hotter. Fewer and fewer people are willing to go out. Basically, everyone waits until the evening, when the sun goes down, to go out for a walk, to enjoy the cool air, etc."

"But you also know that our Jiang'an County is a typical place where it is hot during the day and cool at night. Don't look at it now. The sun can still burn people. People can't stand the heat. At night, as soon as the sun goes down and the wind blows, it will immediately become cold. People will shiver if they don't wear more clothes!"

"As a result, fewer people will come to our small shop to eat iced tofu pudding."

"It's already cold, who would want to eat something cold?"

The boss couldn't help sighing: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, but the business of my tofu pudding shop is getting worse and worse. I am really worried!"

"Just now, when I heard what you said, I was thinking, could I also go out and set up a stall to expand my customer base?"

"Speaking of this ice bean curd, it's best eaten at noon. When it's hot, eating a bowl of it is refreshing and relieves the heat. It's so comfortable!"

Having said that, he was afraid that the three of them might misunderstand him, so he quickly explained: "I, I, I, I, I definitely didn't mean to steal your business! Absolutely not!"

He scratched the back of his head innocently: "Tofu pudding can't be eaten as a meal."

That is indeed the case.

They sell meals, so there doesn't seem to be any competition between them and someone selling tofu pudding?

Jiang An Ning said, "We sell meals at construction sites and docks in town, so we don't really know much about Jiang'an County. If you're interested in doing this business, you might as well ask around to find out where there are a lot of hard laborers around here. We really can't help much, but we ate your bowl of iced tofu pudding for nothing..."

As she spoke, she made a gesture as if she was going to give money to someone.

How can the boss accept it?

He waved his hands repeatedly and said that they didn't need to pay: "I'm the one who treated you to the meal, how can I ask for your money! Otherwise, wouldn't that be forced buying and selling?"

Having said that, he hurriedly got up and left. Before leaving, he pushed the other 20,000 pieces of tofu pudding in.

Aunt Fang laughed and suddenly understood why An Ning was so carefree. She didn't seem to worry about anyone stealing her business and ate the tofu pudding that was given to her.

It turns out that he had already figured out the reason, so he was not panicked at all.

In the end, she underestimated the girl An Ning!

As expected, he had to support a family on his own in the early years, and the little one learned how to make a living.

This brain is very clever.

It's such a pity... Aunt Fang shook her head and sighed, unable to stop feeling emotional in her heart: It would have been even better if An Ning's parents could have left behind a child to carry on the Jiang family's legacy.

With such a capable sister like An Ning to help him, his starting point in the future will definitely not be bad as her brother.

Maybe he could even marry a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family.

In this way, girl An Ning, whether she gets married or not in the future, she will always have a mother's home.

I also have a maternal family who will always be able to help me if I have any problems in the future.

Not so lonely...

Ugh!
Aunt Fang sighed and secretly felt it was a pity.

By the time Sui Ran and I finished the remaining two bowls of iced tofu pudding, the sun had almost set.

The three of them said goodbye to the tofu pudding shop owner and went to the city gate, where they waited for a while and finally saw an oxcart returning to Ruian Town.

"You guys are so lucky to have arrived in time. My train is the only one left going to Ruian Town today!"

The uncle driving the coach said this with great pride.

"That's great! We are destined to be together! Otherwise, why do they say it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early?"

Aunt Fang has always been talkative and can get along with anyone. In just a few words, she has told the coachman how many people there are in his family, how many acres of land he has, how the annual harvest is, where in Ruian town he is from, and what his family members do for a living.

But the old man driving the cart didn't notice anything was wrong. He was still boasting to others with a smug look on his face about how capable and talented his sons were, and how each of their wives were more capable than the other.

Aunt Fang happily chatted with the man all the way, revealing all of his background, but she did not reveal any of her own affairs.

When the oxcart arrived at Ruian Town, the driver was very kind and asked her, "Where are you from? I'll give you a ride!"

Aunt Fang waved her hand and said, "I'm staying here. No need to see me off. Go home quickly! It will be dark soon and the road will be hard to walk on. Don't let my family worry about you!"

The old man believed it, nodded, waved the whip to drive the cattle, and left without looking back.

When the people walked away, Sui Ran couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed: "Aunt, you are really good at speaking to people in a human way and telling lies to ghosts. You have to teach me someday. I am so annoyed by my poor speaking skills!" Aunt Fang glared at her in reproach: "What do you mean by speaking to people in a human way and telling lies to ghosts? It doesn't sound good at all."

Sui Ran quickly apologized: "Yes, yes, I used the wrong words. Auntie, can you tell me what you just called this? I'm really asking for your advice."

"Sincere?"

Aunt Fang deliberately teased Qiao, and Sui Ran quickly followed suit and said, "It couldn't be more true!"

"This move of mine is called..." Aunt Fang deliberately kept the secret in suspense, attracting the attention of Jiang Anning, who had originally looked indifferent and didn't pay attention to the two people talking, but was only paying attention to the surrounding environment.

The little bit of pride in Aunt Fang's heart was immediately greatly satisfied: "This is called being away from home, the status is given by yourself!"

"We are all strangers anyway, no one knows each other, why bother telling such truthful and detailed stories? It's just that even if you tell lies, no one will know you are talking nonsense."

Aunt Fang saw Sui Ran's shocked expression, covered her mouth, and smiled and said, "Of course, you can brag, but don't brag too much, otherwise, you really can't make it up."

Sui Ran was stunned for a while, and when he came to his senses, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"As expected, old ginger is still spicy!"

"My aunt, you are this!"

She gave the man a thumbs up and said, "I must learn from you in the future. I can no longer be so honest and tell everyone everything. There were many times when I didn't know how to get away with it, and I really didn't want to tell the truth, which made me very worried."

"And if I don't say anything, they will start to make sarcastic remarks and make indirect accusations. If you say something about me, it's really not right to listen, and it's not right not to listen."

Sui Ran laughed: "From now on, I will learn this trick from you, Auntie. I will never be afraid of anyone interrogating me about something I don't want to say!"

Aunt Fang glared at her and pretended to be angry: "You said that as if I am not honest."

"how could be!"

Sui Ran quickly reached out and slapped his mouth: "Oh, it's all my fault for being dumb and not knowing how to speak. Look, look, I said the wrong thing again!"

She imitated the drama in an exaggerated way and bowed to Aunt Fang: "I hope Aunt Fang will be magnanimous and forgive me!"

Aunt Fang was so amused by her that even Jiang Anning couldn't help but curl her lips.

Sui Ran quickly climbed up the pole: "Auntie, you have to teach me from now on, and I will learn how to speak from you."

Aunt Fang was so annoyed by her that she uttered a cry and replied, "Yes, yes!"

The two of them were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Just as he was about to walk into the village, Sui Ran saw a sneaky figure: "Hey? Is that Zhou Ran from our village? What is he going to do in the dark..."

There are no more people on this road.

If they hadn't been unable to find a suitable place to stay, they wouldn't have planned to return to the village.

Unfortunately, during the day, An Ning suggested that if they really wanted to continue the catering business, they might as well rent a house in the town. This way they could save a lot of time on the road and get more sleep.

At that time, both she and Aunt Fang were moved, but no matter how much they were moved, they had no money in their pockets. No matter how much they were moved, they could only think about it.

"Zhou Ran?"

When Aunt Fang heard the name "Zhou Ran", her face suddenly darkened.

"where?"

She looked in the direction Sui Ran pointed, but saw nothing but an empty, dark street.

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong? It's Zhou Ran?" Aunt Fang rolled up her sleeves, as if she was ready to rush over and fight with the man as soon as she was sure.

"You're right. I knew it was him the first time I saw him sneaking around like that!"

Sui Ran was also quite annoyed with Zhou Ran.

What she didn't say was that before Zhou Ran found Uncle Genshan, he actually first found her Jiang Guicheng!

But she always felt that the way this person looked at her made her uncomfortable.

But every time he came to see Jiang Guicheng, he would look at her while saying things like "Sister-in-law is so and so, brother, you are so lucky."

She just didn't know how to express this discomfort.

If I tell them, my husband's family will think I am a troublemaker, restless, and have a heart...

She didn't dare to say it, but Jiang Guicheng did notice once that she looked unhappy. She was talking to him cheerfully just a moment ago, but when she saw Zhou Ran, her face immediately turned grim. He asked her, "What's wrong? You don't seem to be happy to see Zhou Ran."

She was probably a little angry at the time, and she didn't control her tone: "Why should I be happy to see a man other than you? If I really was happy to see another man, shouldn't you reflect on it?"

After saying this, she just left.

Only Jiang Guicheng was left standing there in a daze.

However, after she left, she quickly regretted it and felt that she really shouldn't have spoken to her husband like that.

But at that time, Zhou Ran was still there, and she really didn't want to be looked at with such disgusting, obscene eyes that made her very uncomfortable, so she simply didn't go back to look for him.

Unexpectedly, she did not go back to look for someone, but Jiang Guicheng took the initiative to come to find her.

Listening to him carefully asking her what happened: "...Did someone make you angry? Or did you suffer some injustice somewhere? You are not usually such a person who loses your temper, what happened? Tell me, if you don't tell me, how can I help you?"

Sui Ran was very embarrassed at the time. After hesitating for a while, she told him about the uncomfortable feeling Zhou Ran made her feel: "...Am I too sensitive? Maybe he doesn't have any obscene thoughts."

She was really ashamed and embarrassed at that time.

I wonder if I have done something wrong or there is something wrong with my thinking, which is why I have such dirty thoughts.

"So he didn't really do anything to you, did he? Did he bully you while I was away?"

Jiang Guicheng was very nervous at the time and checked the man from head to toe.

Thinking about the times when he was not at home, but when he came back, he would meet Zhou Ran waiting for him, his face turned pale.

"I'll get him out right now!"

How dare he covet his wife! It's like a weasel paying a New Year's greeting to a chicken, with no good intentions!
"I've known for a long time that this guy is not a good guy."
