SFS Chapter 773 Four Sisters
Chapter 773 Four Sisters
The inferior rooms of this inn were not upstairs, but in the backyard. After entering the room, Zhang Zhijian put his things heavily on the table, let out a sigh of relief, and then he sat down on the stool.
Breathing heavily, like an old cow.
The waiter outside was secretly cursing him.
"Bah, if you don't know, you would think you are a young master from a wealthy family. You live in the lowest room and act like a fool in front of me. You are nothing. You look down on me. Who do you think you are? The Third Miss of the Jiang Family wants to marry you, but you are not even worthy of licking her shoes. What a lie! You believe it yourself. Is the Third Miss of the Jiang Family blind? How can she marry you?"
Just as Zhang Zhijian scolded Jiang Huanyu just now, he was being scolded the same way now. Things have changed and the situation has finally turned to his side.
"Oh, Mr. Xu is going to set off fireworks at the city gate tonight. Everyone, go and watch it after dinner. Don't forget."
On the street outside the inn, the laughter of children mixed together, and the noisy sounds reached Zhang Zhijian's ears. Thinking that the Jiang family was happily eating the New Year's Eve dinner, but he hadn't even entered the door, and hadn't eaten a bite of food until now, Zhang Zhijian was so angry that his nose was smoking.
His stomach was growling with hunger, but he had little money in his pocket.
The gift he bought early in the morning was still on the table.
He wanted to open a bag of pastries and eat them, but he really couldn't bear to do it.
He took away all the money in the house. He first bribed the thugs in Yunyou County to block Jiang Huanyu. Then he bought himself a set of clothes and went to save the beauty, creating the first encounter with Jiang Huanyu.
Afterwards, he came to Lianshan Town, pretended to meet Jiang Huanyu by chance, and finally stayed in this inn.
He also paid for the meal they had together last time.
The purpose was to leave a good impression on Jiang Huanyu, so that he could find an excuse to meet her again.
God knows how sad he felt when he paid the money.
Just three simple dishes and a soup actually cost him one, two or three hundred dollars. If you didn't know, you would think they were eating gold. It was so expensive. He wanted to get angry and question it, but Jiang Huanyu was watching him, so he could only hold his anger and pay the bill.
He barely had enough money to pay for it.
It’s heartbreaking to think about it.
In the end, he pawned the ancestral jade pendant that his father gave him before his death, and only then did he have the money to live until now. The gifts on the table were bought with his only three hundred dollars left.
If he doesn't pay the inn the next day, he won't be able to stay there.
That's why he couldn't wait to visit the Jiang family today.
As long as he is sure, he can go back and there is no need to stay here any longer.
But it failed.
Zhang Zhijian was thinking about what to do tomorrow about the Jiang family over there.
After finishing his meal, Jiang Fubao took Jiang Wangyou and Jiang Huanyu to the corner of the yard.
The three sisters gathered together, and Jiang Fubao spoke first: "Third sister, you should explain it to the eldest sister yourself, I won't say anything."
"What do you want to say? I tell you, I have to personally screen this person. Don't mess around. I'm your elder sister, your real elder sister. You have to pass me first, otherwise you can't even think about getting married." Jiang Wangyou thought Jiang Huanyu wanted to persuade her.
Stop it directly and sternly.
"Sister, you misunderstood. I don't want to marry him. This guy, oh, what can I say? Anyway, just pretend that I didn't say anything today, okay? After the New Year, I will go to him and make it clear that he and I are indeed not suitable. I will not marry him. Sister, don't worry. Fubao brought us here just to ask me to explain to you. Fubao also advised me.
What you said makes sense, I was just too naive. I don't know much about this man's background. I only know that his father died of illness, and his mother gave birth to him alone. He is an orphan and a widow, and they depend on each other for survival. I don't know what he does at all. He showed no etiquette when he came to our house on New Year's Eve. Even if we let him in, he wouldn't be able to get past his grandparents..."
Jiang Huanyu talked for a full quarter of an hour.
Jiang Wangyou believed it only after seeing the sincerity on her face and some anxiety in her eyes.
"You are indeed too rash. You don't even know the person, but you're already thinking about settling down. What if he turns out to be a bad person? Wouldn't you be in big trouble? I'll pretend I haven't heard of this. Don't mention it again in the future, and don't go to see him in person after the New Year.
What if he does something to you? I will accompany you and bring a few servants with me to talk to him face to face. In addition, I will also warn him not to ruin your reputation outside. In short, don't do this by yourself. I will accompany you."
Jiang Wangyou was worried that her sister would be bullied and her reputation would be ruined, so her eyes turned cold and she was ready to take action herself.
Jiang Fubao followed suit and said, "I'll come too. Don't let the family know about this. Grandpa and grandma are getting older every year. Don't let them worry. Only the three of us know about this. My second sister doesn't know either. So, we three have to solve it. If he can come to our house the first time, he can come to our house the second time. In my opinion, we shouldn't wait until after the New Year. Let's set off fireworks at the city gate and take this opportunity to go find him. How about that?"
Jiang Fubao suggested.
Before the two sisters could speak, a familiar voice came over.
"Okay, you guys, why don't you take me with you? I just hid in the corner and overheard everything. You must take me with you. Sisters can break metal with their sharpness. We are four sisters, and we can't do without me. I will bring the silver kitchen knife that Fubao gave me and scare him. This bastard dared to ruin my sister's reputation. I can't kill him."
Jiang Ruyi jumped out from the corner, scaring the three sisters.
"Second sister, you actually eavesdropped." Jiang Huanyu puffed up her cheeks in anger.
She looked back and saw that there was no fifth person, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is also my home, how can it be called eavesdropping? If you have any problem, I will definitely help you. You guys, too, didn't even tell me, and treated me like an outsider? Be careful or I'll get angry and never talk to you again, humph."
Jiang Ruyi crossed her arms over her chest and looked angry. She was already in her twenties, but she was still like a child.
Jiang Huanyu hurried to coax her.
"Second sister, good second sister, who will cook for me when you are angry? You are the best cook in the family. Don't be angry. I didn't tell you because I was afraid that one more person would know, and my family would know. Since you have heard it now, you can join in."
"Humph, that's right." Jiang Ruyi raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.
So, the four sisters took advantage of the time when they went out to watch the fireworks, and took Pan Erya, Pan Shitou and the strongest servants in the mansion to Zhang Zhijian's inn.
Xiao Er cannot go home on New Year's Eve, so today he will be on night watch.
Seeing a group of people coming towards me aggressively, I wanted to stop them.
The person leading the group was Doctor Jiang. Not only that, the four young ladies of the Jiang family were also there.
He quickly stepped back, pretending he saw nothing.
