Chapter 240 Pretend to be anxious

 Xia Qianqian was puzzled, "If it's because of the pregnancy of the personal maid, then it's because the Jiang family didn't handle the matter well."

The maid's belly was caused by Jiang Chengyun, and the lives of mother and son were also caused by the Jiang family.

If you want to blame, you can only blame Jiang Chengyun for not being able to control his lower body, and the cold-blooded and unpredictable Jiang family.

Why should she be held responsible for the crime of killing two people?

Mr. Liu waved his hand and shook his head, "Son, according to my analysis, Jiang Chengyun must be holding the Yu family's hand. Otherwise, the Yu family would not be so determined to kick Yu Yinghua out of the house."

Frowning in confusion, Xia Qianqian turned her head and thought carefully, "You said that if Jiang Chengyun liked Mr. Yu enough to kill his concubine and his son, he had to get it. Why did the Yu family kick her out of the house for so many years, and he never looked for it?

Her?"

This is by no means a sign of deep love for someone.

There must be something unknown happening between the Jiang family and the Yu family.

As the sun set, lanterns were lit under the eaves in front of the door, and there was a faint fragrance of food wafting in the air. Mr. Liu rubbed his hands and said sheepishly: "I'm hungry."

Xia Qianqian laughed dumbly, "We will have dinner later, Mr. Liu, please stay with us."

Mr. Liu took out two banknotes from his sleeves and handed them over, "Here, girl, take them."

Xia Qianqian took a look and saw a total of fifty taels of silver on the note. She couldn't help but said, "Mr. Liu, the food expenses you gave me are too much."

"It's the medical fee paid by the Yu family." Mr. Liu stroked his gray beard under his chin and said cheerfully: "They sent it to my house. I accepted it, so of course I will send it to you."

"How is this possible!" Although Xia Qianqian loves money, she can't cheat the elderly out of her money. "You are here to treat a doctor, how can I get this money?"

"Didn't you go too?"

"But the person they recognize is you. Without you, I wouldn't be able to enter the Yu family."

The two declined each other, and finally Mr. Liu suggested: "How about one of us?"

During dinner, Xia Qianqian specially cooked two more dishes, and the family sat around the table.

Yuan Bao went to call someone next door, but he came back empty-handed, "Sister, you made Mr. Mo and the others angry at noon, so they were not at home for dinner."

How come children, Jiajia, tell the truth?

The way Mr. Liu and Li Yunniang looked at her suddenly became strange.

Xia Qianqian glared at Yuan Bao and squeezed out a smile on her lips, "They have something to do, so they can't just sit around and eat our meager meal every day."

Li Yunniang was a little embarrassed and said, "Mr. Dean, please have your meal first."

Coincidentally, Uncle Wang also came back. As soon as he walked in, he said excitedly: "Girl Xia, I want to tell you something happy. Lao Li has finished two cabinets in the past two days to meet the construction deadline."

Xia Qianqian welcomed him in, "Uncle Wang, you have to worry a lot about things in the shop recently. When it's time for dinner, come and have a meal together."

When Uncle Wang saw the stranger, he was a little cautious and waved his hand, "No, no, I'll go back to eat later."

Mr. Liu was affable and greeted: "Come on, old man, I'm here to have a meal too."

The two smiled at each other and sat down to eat together.

The dishes on the table are very rich.

A plate of minced pork vermicelli, a plate of stuffed pork, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, a plate of homemade tofu, and in the center is a pot of wild mushroom and egg drop soup, and a bowl of rice for each person.

Several people gathered around the table and finished the meal happily.

After dinner, Mr. Liu and Uncle Wang drove away.

Village chief Xu Jiang limped and came looking for her again.

As soon as he walked in, he looked tired and a little at a loss, "Xia Yatou, today, I searched all the villages for laborers, and it was so rare that there was no one idle. How can I deal with this?"

This Xu Jiang is worthy of being the head of Fu'an Village. He is responsible for the affairs of the village and works hard without complaint.

In this regard, he is worthy of respect.

Xia Qianqian smiled and handed him a small bucket of raw bean sprouts, "If there is no one, there will be no one. Don't be so impatient!"

"How can you not be in a hurry?" Xu Jiang took the keg and looked at the bean sprouts inside, "What are you doing?"

"You can blanch it at home, mix it with vegetables, or stir-fry it."

Xu Jiang was stunned, "I have rarely eaten this stuff like this."

"Try it, it's delicious!"

When Xu Jiang came to his senses, he remembered that this was not the time to talk about food at all, "Girl Xia, if we don't have workers to work in the fields tomorrow, our seeds won't be able to go to the fields."

"We have a way." She blinked her bright eyes, "Just pretend to be anxious and put your heart in your stomach."

What's going on!

Xu Jiang shook his head, not understanding what was going on at all.

No one is hoeing the ground, just waiting dryly. Why is this girl not in a hurry and letting him pretend to be in a hurry?

Why pretend to be anxious?

He was almost dying of anxiety.

"Everything will be revealed the day after tomorrow at the latest. Until then, you have been pretending to be in a hurry to find someone, just show off."

Xu Jiang came out of Xia's house carrying a small box of bean sprouts. His mind was filled with clouds and fog.

Could it be that he is really old, so he can't understand the thoughts of young people.

In the yard, Li Yunniang looked at some germinating seeds on the bamboo mat, making a sound like a mosquito, "Qianqian, does mother know, do you have any solution to this predicament?"

Xia Qianqian laughed, "I'm tired, I'm going to take a rest."

Seeing her unhurried look, she really had a plan to deal with it. She couldn't help but joked: "What a secret, can't even grandma know about it?"

Li Yunniang is a little disappointed.

"I want to give you a surprise. If I told you in advance, how could it be called a surprise?"

She returned to her residence and just lay down on the couch when she suddenly remembered that there were some things she had not yet done.

Get up, come to the table, and spread out a piece of paper.

She thought for a while and wrote down the precautions in the process of smelting aluminum one by one.

He spread out another piece of paper and copied the instructions on how to make oilcloth one by one.

Li Yunniang came to the house by chance and saw her lying on the table, holding a brush and writing and drawing intently. She stood at the door, slightly lost in thought.

In my mind, I can't help but think of her in the past. In the evening, she didn't sleep, sitting on the porch, minding her own business, holding a wicker in one hand, playing with it one by one, muttering in her mouth, not knowing what she was talking about.

Inadvertently, Li Yunniang secretly sighed.

No matter how good the Xia family's feng shui is, how can they raise such a wise daughter?

There was a hint of worry in her heart.

Suddenly, she slapped herself, which frightened Xia Qianqian at the table, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Mosquitoes... they're smelly mosquitoes that landed on my face and wanted to bite my blood." Li Yunniang covered up her guilty conscience and greeted, "Qianqian, you go to work first. Mom, go to the kitchen and clean up."

Xia Qianqian looked at Li Yunniang's hurried away figure with a surprised expression.
