Chapter 198 Bodhisattva
"Maybe it's like a Bodhisattva."

"Such a kind young lady is much prettier than a bodhisattva."

The people around him didn't care too much.

Full of joy at being able to have enough food to eat in the future.

The man didn't think too much about it: "I guess so. Apart from my mother, I haven't seen many women."

How come it looks familiar?

I guess it really looks like the statue of Bodhisattva in an old temple on a deserted mountain, saving all living beings.
-
Jiang An Ning brought the person back to Jiangjia Village, and after some thought, he settled the person down in the Zhao family's original house.

"I'm so sorry. I was careless and forgot that there was no suitable place for you to stay in the village."

They were all men, and it was difficult for her to settle them back in her home.

Besides, even if she didn't mind the strict separation of men and women and worldly reputation, there weren't enough rooms in her house for people to live in.

In order to save trouble, the family only built two main rooms for living.

"It's okay, it's okay. This is good enough."

Cai Biaotou looked at the clean and spacious kang and smiled naively: "Usually, we brothers sleep on straw mats on the floor. It's considered a good condition to have a broken wooden board."

There have been days when we used the sky as our blanket and the ground as our bed.

The accommodation that Jiang Anning arranged for them was a good life that they had never dared to dream of before.

"As long as you don't mind."

Jiang Anning smiled and said, "It's a little late today, and I really didn't think about it when I came back. I'll go to town tomorrow and buy a few more quilts and bring them over."

Fortunately, the weather is not too cold now, even though it has rained for many days in a row. After the sky clears up, it is not very cold even if you don’t cover yourself with a quilt at night.

"My house is next to this. If you have any questions, you can come and find me."

Jiang Anning introduced with a smile: "However, I may not be here for a long time in the future, but if there are people at home, you can also ask them to bring me news."

"Or if you don't mind the trouble, you can come to Chaohuang Embroidery Workshop in Jiang'an County to find me."

"My last name is Jiang, Jiang Anning."

Cai Biaotou and others always felt that this name seemed familiar.

But for a moment, I couldn't remember where I had heard it.

But it doesn't matter.

All he needs to know is that this is his current financial sponsor.

"The housing problem has been solved. As for food and drink, do you want to cook for yourself and I will pay for your meals? Or should I hire someone to cook and bring it to you on time every day?"

Jiang Anning thought that if they cooked their own meals, she would have less worries.

Just give the money on time.

Otherwise, Sui Ran and his wife could rent a house next door. They also run a restaurant business, so it should be convenient for them to make some as well.

Jiang Anning was still a little conflicted about whether or not to ask Aunt Fang to do this.

Of course, it also depends on what the people in front of you think.

"How can we cook?" Cai Biaotou scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "We usually eat whatever we have, all in one pot..."

He looked at Jiang Anning, and seeing that she was so amiable, he couldn't help but pluck up the courage to ask, "If it's not too much trouble, and you're willing, why don't you find someone who can cook for us?"

"No, you don't need to provide two meals a day, just one meal. One meal is enough."

Cai Biaotou said cautiously: "We don't eat much."

As if he was worried that Jiang An Ning wouldn't believe him, Cai Biaotou raised his hand and swore, "Really, none of us can eat a lot."

"A meal only requires three, no no no, two steamed buns are enough!"

Cai Biaotou said with a weaker tone: "If it really doesn't work, one steamed bun per meal will do."

He was worried that they ate too much and would scare the financial sponsor.

Then I fired them again.

Moreover, he saw that this young lady didn't look like she needed anyone here.

Maybe he did it on a spur of the moment, out of kindness, and after hearing the store owner tell him about their story, he found an excuse to help them.

They are not shameless people. They just can't eat without working.

You can't just bully a young lady because she's kind-hearted and be so shameless!

Cai Biaotou thought to himself that if he could really help this young lady do something, even if only one or two of them were left, they would finally have a stable income.

Perhaps their escort agency would not have to be disbanded.

Jiang Anning blinked in surprise and confusion: "Huh?"

"But I heard from my second brother that you can have a better meal."

"The amount of food a normal person eats is only enough for you to barely fill your stomach. It's even possible that you only eat until you are 70% to 80% full."

How come just one steamed bun is enough now?
Cai Biaotou immediately cursed the waiter in his heart: You idiot, what nonsense are you talking about?

If their reputation for being good at eating gets out, who would dare to hire them?

Aren’t you afraid that they will eat your family into poverty?

He looked at Jiang Anning nervously, and tried to explain at a loss: "That's not the case!"

"He was just exaggerating and talking nonsense."

"Actually, we eat very little in one meal."

"real!"

Jiang Anning said "Oh" and didn't think much about it.

Just assume they really don't eat much.

After all, there wouldn't be anyone who works outside and tries every possible way to help their boss save money, right?
Jiang An Ning nodded and believed what Chief Cai said.

"If that's the case, then I'll ask someone to help with cooking."

She planned to go back and discuss with Aunt Fang and Sui Ran and his wife to see which family would be more suitable to do this.

Sang Nanshan, who was standing by, couldn't help but raise his hand and said weakly, "Well... since we are asking someone to help with the cooking, can we also bring out the food for our two brothers?"

He really didn't want to eat his brother's terrible cooking anymore.

Take the black fish from last time for example. It was made by Jiang’s cousin, and the whole yard was filled with fragrance.

Even he, who was sitting next to him, was aroused by the smell.

But what about his brother?

Not only does it smell like earth, it's also bitter and even burnt.

As if he was worried that Jiang Anning would not agree, Sang Nanshan said anxiously: "You hired them to work, and they are provided with food and accommodation."

"We two brothers should be considered as your hired workers, right?"

"Then we should treat everyone equally, right?"

"You can't just take care of their food and lodging and ignore us."

Jiang Anning was amused by his words and agreed readily.

It doesn't matter whether you let go of one sheep or ten sheep.

It’s just a matter of adding one more bowl of rice.

"That's it for now. You can get familiar with each other first."

Jiang An Ning looked at Cai Biaotou and the others and repeated to them almost the same words he had said to the Sang brothers before.

"…If someone comes looking for trouble, just run away."

"Everything must be done with your own safety in mind."

Cai Biao and his men responded sparsely, but they didn't take it seriously in their hearts.

Not to mention the people here, there are a few who can beat them if they fight with them.

Even if it is for the sake of responsibility, there is no reason to run away when encountering danger.

The host spent a lot of money to invite them, and provided them with food and accommodation.

Isn't it just to protect the safety of the home?

If they run away when something happens, why would the host spend money to hire them?
They are not the kind of people who take money and don't do the job.

Jiang Anning didn't think too much about it. Seeing that they all agreed, she assumed that they all understood what she meant.

Sang Nanshan was a little scared when he saw the burly and fierce-looking Cai Biaotou and his men.

He whispered to Sang Donghai: "Are these people really the escort agents of the escort agency? They look like bandits."

"Who knows."

Maybe he is a bandit!
Sang Donghai's face was slightly gloomy, and he had begun to believe that Jiang Anning was indeed planning to do something bad. Look, the bandits have been invited.

Moreover, they placed people here directly...

"Even if he's not a bandit, he's probably doing bandit stuff!"

Sang Donghai said in a lower voice.

Sang Nanshan looked confused: "Ah? Why do you say that?"

"Have you forgotten whose house we are living in now?"

Sang Donghai glared at him and said, "Back then, the village was discussing with the clan leader to place us here. Wasn't it because this house now belongs to the villagers?"

"But look at this woman. She clearly treats this place as her own territory."

"She and the villagers didn't reach an agreement a few days ago. Now she has arranged so many evil spirits to come in. She definitely didn't tell the villagers in advance. Maybe she is planning to occupy the houses!"

Sang Donghai thought he had grasped the truth and began to analyze it.

Sang Nanshan said, "Ah?" "No way."

He scratched his head hesitantly: "Maybe, this house originally belonged to Jiang's cousin?"

Sang Nanshan said with a straight face, "Brother, it's not good for you to make malicious assumptions about Jiang's cousin without knowing the inside story."

"you……"

Sang Donghai was so angry that a mouthful of blood almost choked in his throat and choked himself to death.

He was so angry that he said, "Forget it, I can't explain it to you clearly!"

Sang Nanshan felt aggrieved as he watched his brother walk away.

He didn't say anything wrong.

The cousin from the Jiang family was so open and generous in bringing the person here directly. She must have been confident.

But his brother just thought that the man was so bad, always thinking that there were no good people in this world, so he acted indiscriminately, thinking that the man was a group of bandits who came to steal the house and occupy the land.

how can that be possible?
Sang Nanshan wavered for a while, but soon he firmly stood on the side that Jiang's cousin was a good person.

Jiang Anning didn't know that the two brothers almost quarreled because of her again.

She returned home, thinking that she would have to go to the government office tomorrow to transfer the house deed and land title to the Zhao family's land.

Although, she has a judgment issued by the government to prove that the house is now hers.

But I always feel uneasy if I don’t transfer the ownership and sign the deed again.

She didn't want to argue with the villagers about this.

It is impossible to reason with shameless people.

They have their own twisted arguments.

After leaving Zhao's house, Jiang Anning went directly to Aunt Fang's house.

"An Ning is here!"

Aunt Fang, who was feeding the chickens, looked up and saw someone. She immediately said, "Come in and sit inside. Auntie will give you some candy."

Jiang Anning was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Aunt, I'm not a child anymore."

Why are you still trying to coax her the same way you would a child?

Aunt Fang said angrily: "You are nothing but a child. You are so young, yet you are pretending to be an adult in front of me!"

After saying that, he happily pulled her into the house and actually found a box of candies and gave them to Jiang An Ning.

"When I went to see your uncle Genshan yesterday, he bought it for me. It looked fancy. I heard that it was sold by a Hu merchant from the Western Regions. I don't know if he was cheated by someone!"

Aunt Fang muttered, pushing the candy box towards Jiang An Ning: "Try it, is it sweet?"

It sounds like showing off.

Jiang Anning blinked and asked tentatively, "Aunt and Uncle Genshan have reconciled?"

"How can it be!"

Aunt Fang denied it hastily, feeling somewhat guilty, and even her tone of voice changed.

Jiang An Ning understood instantly that he had probably forgiven her in his heart but had not said it out loud yet.

"I can't forgive him so easily."

"Although now it seems that he was also set up by someone, and he himself did not really do anything substantial to offend me."

"But I should teach him a lesson."

"Otherwise, who knows, he might really do those stupid things next time!"

Aunt Fang twisted her handkerchief and still spoke awkwardly.

"But when I saw how cautious he was yesterday, I couldn't help but feel bad for him."

Jiang Anning burst out laughing, which immediately earned her a glare from Aunt Fang.

"You kid! What are you laughing at?"

"That's all for now."

Aunt Fang's face turned red, and she felt that her subconscious inner confession just now was really embarrassing in front of the younger generation.

Jiang An Ning hurriedly apologized and explained her purpose in order to divert Aunt Fang's attention so that she wouldn't be so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

"I had promised to go to someone's house in the county town and embroider a folding screen. Now that the agreed date is approaching, I can't put it off any longer."

"I've been preparing for the next two days and will be heading back to the county town!"

She said, "It's just that there are still some things going on at home, so I'll need you and Sister Guicheng to help take care of them."

"I'm not worried about my family. After I leave, Sister Guicheng and the others can move in right away."

"It's next door..."

Jiang An Ning briefly told Aunt Fang about hiring some security guards to look after the house.

"...I was thinking, can you help me cook for me, two meals a day? It doesn't matter what it is, just home-cooked meals."

She also mentioned that she wanted to ask the two brothers of the Sang family to help with raising silkworms.

"Ah? You asked them to help you raise silkworms?"

Aunt Fang was shocked: "In that village?"

Raising silkworms was originally a big thing that the villagers planned to do together.

But to this day, no one has been able to reach an agreement on the distribution of benefits.

No one wants to take responsibility, but everyone wants to enjoy the benefits.

"I think since no one in the village wants to pay the two hundred taels of silver, and they don't want to ruin the reputation of the village and be criticized as a treacherous villain."

"Why not just let me pay the two hundred taels? Anyway, that's what the villagers planned to do from the beginning."

"But my money didn't come from the wind."

"It doesn't make sense that I pay for it but the villagers get all the benefits, right?"

Jiang Anning's face turned slightly colder: "Anyway, nowadays, most people are trying to avoid raising silkworms, so I might as well do it by myself."

"It also prevents someone from coming forward and saying that it was me who proposed to raise silkworms and that this was what harmed them."

"Now I just think of raising silkworms as something I have to do alone, and it has nothing to do with other people in the village."

"This way, no one has to pay or take risks. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

Aunt Fang hesitated a little and said, "But... if you make a decision without saying anything, will the villagers agree?"

She sighed, "If you go back to the county town, I will support you with all my heart! But in the village, I'm worried that if you don't explain it to them now, they might find out later, or if they see that you've made money, they might have some malicious thoughts!"

"An Ning, you must be on guard against others."

Aunt Fang spoke in a serious and earnest manner, and was very worried about people.

There are no good people in this village!

"I know my aunt is worried about me."

Jiang An Ning smiled calmly: "So, didn't I specially invite a lot of guards to look after the house?"

She was really afraid that these people might have malicious intentions!

Otherwise, wouldn't she have spent so much money in vain to put on such a big show!

"I believe that with these people here, the villagers will think twice before doing anything bad."

Jiang Anning smiled, suppressing a little sarcasm in her heart: If these people could really restrain their malice, she might even look up to them!
Aunt Fang opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Finally, he just sighed: "I hope so."

Thinking of what he just said, she hesitated a little: "But, about cooking, do you think we should ask Sui Ran and his wife first?"
