Chapter 234: 234 who wants to eat (second update)

As soon as Zhang Zerong heard that the other party was looking for Su Xiaofeng, a sneer flitted across his face, "You’re right, this guy is just like Adou who can never be helped. My sister has told him so many times not to get too close to the likes of Su Xiaofeng, but in a blink, he’s cozying up to her again. I just can’t get through to him."

What is his status, and what is Su Xiaofeng’s status? Can they even be compared? It’s definitely incomparable, like heaven and earth.

Moreover, Su Xiaofeng was pregnant and didn’t even have a man by her side. If Ershun got too close to her, how would they handle the ugly rumors that would spread?

Zhao Yanhong didn’t want to deal with her sister’s two sons. "It’s fine, my sister has her own judgment. I think Su Xiaofeng seems pretty decent too. I heard her factory is doing quite well."

The chili sauce produced in Su Xiaofeng’s factory was still very good and the business was doing better than before.

"Good what good, no matter how good, she is still second-hand goods," Zhang Zerong despised her thoroughly.

Zhao Yanhong scoffed, "Sounds like sour grapes to me. Even second-hand goods—if she threw herself at you, I bet you’d take her even if she was ’third-hand’."

"Are you even making sense, we’re talking about Ershun here, why drag me into it?" Zhang Zerong was really annoyed by her remark.

"I’m not wrong, flirting with people right under my nose every day, isn’t it thrilling?" Seeing how young and beautiful another woman was, his eyes roamed endlessly all day long.

"I can’t bother talking to you." Zhang Zerong started the car, "No matter how young and beautiful those women are, I’m just playing with them, it’s not serious. You are my wife. We are the family here."

Women are such a hassle. How many times do I need to tell you that a wife is a wife, and a lover is a lover?

And speaking of men being flirts, isn’t it normal to have a little fun outside sometimes? Looking at her day after day, am I being too nice to her?

Zhao Yanhong scoffed, "According to you, shouldn’t I go and keep a few men outside to show how loving we are as husband and wife?"

Zhang Zerong ignored her, "Zhao Yanhong, men are men, women are women, better not try it because women always end up on the losing side."

"Really enlightening." Zhao Yanhong picked up her bag to get out of the car. "Stop the car."

Being with such a man, even the air felt dirty.

Zhang Zerong of course wouldn’t listen to her. "Don’t be hysterical. Just be good and be Mrs. Zhang. As for other nonsense, better not think about it."

Zhao Yanhong closed her eyes, no longer wanting to speak.

Seeing her calm down, Zhang Zerong felt very pleased inside. Women, it’s good when they know their place. Besides, with his stature, wasn’t it normal to play around occasionally?

"Knock, knock." The sound of knocking echoed in the yard.

Despite her age, Mei Sanying was still sharp-sighted and robust. Hearing the knock, she immediately went to open the door and saw a young man standing there.

The young man was carrying quite a few items.

A fish, a live chicken, and two pig thighs.

"Young man, who are you looking for?"

Wu Ershun, seeing that an old grandma had opened the door, smiled, "Hello, grandma. I’m Wu Ershun, a friend of Xiaofeng. Actually, Xiaofeng mentioned there’s someone at home, but I didn’t believe it until now."

"You’re Xiaofeng’s friend, did you come to visit or did Xiaofeng buy some stuff and asked you to deliver it?" Mei Sanying didn’t let him in, blocking the doorway as she scrutinized Wu Ershun.

"No, I came to borrow her stove." Wu Ershun chuckled, "I need to borrow Xiaofeng’s stove at noon to host a dinner at her place. Grandma, don’t worry, I’m not a bad person. Xiaofeng and I are good friends."

The grandma’s gaze became unfriendly.

"A stove? Don’t you have one at home?" Mei Sanying wasn’t easy to fool.

Xiaofeng is a single mother, and some things she can’t handle on her own, so I have to be extra cautious for her.

Wu Ershun was almost in tears, "Grandma, let me put it this way, I was originally going to deliver it to them, but they just happened to say they were coming down to the city today, so I thought it would be more sincere to cook for them myself. Xiaofeng agreed to this too."

Where did Su Xiaofeng find such a tough grandma, incredibly formidable.

"So, you are hosting guests not at your place or at a big restaurant, but here, and I still don’t see your sincerity." Mei Sanying snorted coldly, "Are you sure you don’t have other ulterior motives?"

The setup looked like a trap no matter how one saw it.

Wu Ershun couldn’t help but laugh and cry, what ulterior motives could he have? The grandma really had lots of thoughts. "Grandma, what ulterior motives could I possibly have? Even if I had any, Xiaofeng wouldn’t agree."

Mei Sanying laughed upon hearing his words.

The kid was quite honest, and she stepped aside to make way, "Come on in."

Wu Ershun immediately carried the items into the kitchen. Upon setting them down, he began to prepare the fish.

The old lady saw that his movements were skilled, as if he often did them, "How many people are coming over for lunch?"

Ershun, while scraping the fish scales, replied, "Not many, just me, the Sixth Master, and Brother Cheng."

He glanced at the old lady and added, "And also you and Xiaofeng."

Worried that the old lady might misunderstand something, he explained, "The Sixth Master is a well-known traditional doctor. My brother was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and the doctors gave him no more than three months, but guess what, the Sixth Master miraculously cured my brother. Such a big favor, of course I need to thank him in person."

Mei Sanying nodded, "That makes sense. But why don’t you go to your own place, why come here?"

Going to his own home would be more sincere.

Wu Ershun, not ashamed of his thick skin, replied, "I was thinking that Xiaofeng is home alone, her meals might not be up to par, and the Sixth Master is a good cook too, so why not let her enjoy a good meal. Granny, don’t worry, Xiaofeng knows them well, they’re not bad people."

Hearing Wu Ershun’s words, Mei Sanying laughed. The kid was certainly straightforward, "Alright, what needs to be handled, I’ll take care of it."

"Granny, you just handle the vegetables, we’ll wait for the Sixth Master to come down to cook. I haven’t tasted his cooking in a while; I really miss it." The Sixth Master’s skills weren’t just talk; they were genuinely good.

The old lady was also curious about the Sixth Master mentioned by the other party, "Alright, I’ll try it too."

Half an hour later, there were knocks on the gate again.

Ershun saw the people coming in and wiped his hands on his apron, "Sixth Master, I was originally going to bring it to you, but I ran into Xiaofeng on the way. It’s been a while since I’ve seen her, and she’s lost weight. I thought I might as well come to her place and make something nice to eat. You’re not upset, are you?"

Inviting people to eat at someone else’s home would definitely make a normal person upset.

The Sixth Master, with a smile, said, "Why would I be upset? I’ve always wanted to visit Xiaofeng’s home. You, rascal, just never brought me over. Today, I finally got the chance."

"As long as you’re not upset." Ershun moved forward with a smile, "I bought all the meat, Sixth Master, we’re just waiting for you."

The Sixth Master glanced at the kitchen, seeing an old lady there, "Did you bring her?"

"No, Xiaofeng invited her. Hearing that one of Xiaofeng’s staff had gone in, Xiaofeng worried it wouldn’t be safe for the granny to live alone, so she had the granny stay here, looking out for each other." Really, the way Su Xiaofeng did things always surprised people.

"It’s the Sixth Master, right?" Mei Sanying came out from the kitchen, "Listening to this young man mentioning you again and again, now that you are here, take a look at how these meats should be fried."

The Sixth Master glanced at her. She was quite old, not eighty then surely seventy, but she looked quite hale and hearty, "Alright, I’ll handle it. Old sister living with Xiaofeng, huh?"

"This kid is kind-hearted; seeing me living alone and taking pity, she let me stay here."

"That’s good as well, you can look after each other." It seems his judgment was correct; Xiaofeng really was a person of great vision.

Wu Ershun glanced outside the door, not seeing Ye Cheng, "Sixth Master, where is Brother Cheng?"

"He cut his hand while handling the fish, said he wouldn’t be much help and went looking for Xiaofeng instead." Such a cold-mouth, warm-hearted kid, caring for people without saying it outright.

Too stoic, hard to say whom he takes after.

...

With Xianghe not around, Xiaofeng just had to take Tie Bao out for deliveries.

Tie Bao didn’t understand the local dialect, and Mantou even less so, both unable to understand the local dialect, Xiaofeng just had to bring them along.

Today’s destination was Xiaojiang City.

Manager Yao had pulled some strings for her, making the marketplaces there very accommodating; they just told her to bring the goods.

Xiaofeng just got to the vehicle when she saw Ye Cheng’s car stop in front of the factory, and she paused her steps to walk towards the car.

Ye Cheng opened the car door, saw her slightly protruding belly, and looked bewildered.

"Ye Cheng, you drove here one-handed."

"It’s not a serious injury, I can still exert some force occasionally," Ye Cheng said, downplaying his hand injury, "Are you here to make deliveries?"

"Yes, going into town," Xiaofeng nodded, "Baozi isn’t very familiar with the business, needs to be shown around."

"I’ll help you." Ye Cheng offered spontaneously.

"I wouldn’t be confident with you going." Xiaofeng didn’t take him seriously, thinking he was joking, "Besides, I told them I’d be coming myself."

Blowing off a meeting the first time you negotiate could make future negotiations difficult.
