Chapter 166 New Melon
Tang Yixiao saw Tang Yichen coming back with Qin Huiyin on his back, trotting over to greet him and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
"I twisted my ankle, but it's okay now. But my brother was worried that it would hurt me when I walked, so he carried me back." Qin Weiyin said.
"Are you really okay?" Tang Yi asked with a smile.
"It's really okay." Qin Huiyin smiled, "Brother, put me down, I'll walk a few steps for you to see."
"Don't bother, take a rest first!" Tang Yichen put her down. "Little brother, bring a hot towel over and give your second sister a warm compress."
"it is good."
"I'm really fine." Qin Huiyin wanted to get up, but was held down by Tang Yichen.
"Stay still, don't go anywhere today, and have a good rest."
"When do you plan to return to the city?" Qin Huiyin asked, "I'll prepare something for you to take back."
"I'll prepare." Tang Luwu said, "Yinyin, you just take a rest!"
Qin Huiyin was under strict supervision, and her family wouldn't let her get out of bed. She wanted to get out of bed and walk, but she didn't even have a chance to prove herself. There was really no other way, so she just stayed idle, so they wouldn't worry about her.
She wrote and drew in the room, and also helped the Zhang brothers draw a few more design drawings.
Outside, things were bustling with activity. Xiang Chuntao and Wang Juying, along with their friends, came over with their pick of mushrooms, while Song Tieniu and Zhang Sanjin were still in charge of the crab business.
Li Taohua directed their work, and later brought in Zhou and Pang, adding two more helpers. Xiao Chunni, who had just married, wanted to help, but was persuaded by others who had been there before. They asked Xiao Chunni to accompany Zhang Erzhu, as he was going back to the dam the next day and it was unknown when he would be back. Xiao Chunni ran away in shame.
Zhang Erzhu and Xiao Chunni were newlyweds, but they couldn't really stay in their bridal chamber. Otherwise, who knows what kind of rumors would spread in the village. Zhang Erzhu and Xiao Chunni drove a horse-drawn carriage to contact other carpenter apprentices to prepare for the opening of a carpentry shop for his father and older brother. He contacted a carpenter apprentice his grandfather had previously taught, but for various reasons, he had given up halfway. Now, he was going door to door asking if they were willing to return.
The order they had received was so large that it would take forever for Zhang the carpenter and his son to complete it. In order to deliver the goods earlier and make more money, they had to speed up the process.
"Yinyin..." Tang Luwu ran in from outside. "Li Erniu is back with Tang Baoyu."
"You look so excited. Did something interesting happen?" Qin Huiyin put down the last stroke and blew the finished design dry.
"She also brought back a beautiful woman and a very cute little boy," Tang Luwu said. "I heard her bragging to the villagers that she was Tang Jizuna's concubine and that the child was some illegitimate child."
Qin Huiyin raised her eyebrows and looked outside, wanting to go out and watch the show even more.
"Liu followed her back? Although I have never met this woman, she can be Mr. Xia's concubine and bear an illegitimate child for her cousin's husband without her cousin's knowledge. She can't be so easy to bully."
"I don't know either," Tang Luwu said. "Anyway, I saw Li Erniu pulling a woman with messy clothes. The woman was very beautiful, but she lowered her head and didn't say anything, nor did she resist."
"This Li Erniu is really interesting. Her man has another woman, and this woman is so beautiful, but not only is she not angry, she's even showing off."
"She thinks her husband has a concubine, so she's the legal wife. She thinks she can do whatever she wants with the concubine, just like the other wealthy ladies in the city. I'm afraid the Tang family is going to be in for another uproar." Li Taohua walked in, brought in the mung bean cakes, and placed them on Qin Huiyin's desk. "Don't write or draw all the time. Take a break when you're tired. I was worried you'd be hungry, so I made some cakes for you."
"Thank you, mother. You are the best." Qin Huiyin picked up a piece of mung bean cake and put it in Tang Luwu's hand, sharing the dessert with Tang Luwu.
Li Taohua picked up the design drawings on the table and looked at them one by one. When she saw the furniture, she only glanced at them curiously. When she saw the room layout drawings, she looked at them a few more times. Finally, her eyes stopped at the clothing drawings.
"These dresses are beautiful. Do you like them?"
“I drew it for fun.”
"We still have a few pieces of cloth left at home, perfect for making clothes." Li Taohua said, "I haven't made any in a while, so my skills might be rusty. This is a good opportunity to practice."
Song Family. Song Ruize looked at the newly renovated courtyard with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
Jiang Qibin nudged Chen Yong next to him and said in a low voice, "I always thought I knew Brother Ze best, but now I take back that arrogant thought. He's too cunning to understand!"
"What can't you see through?" Chen Yong asked.
"He's a grown man, but he decorated his yard like this, so effeminate. If he weren't still young, I'd suspect he was decorating his new home." Jiang Qibin said, "Youthful hearts are hard to understand."
"What's so hard to understand about this?" Jiang Qingnan said, "Of course he, a grown man, doesn't like this kind of fancy yard, but little Huiyin likes it! He spent a lot of money just to make his sister smile."
"So it's for Huiyin." Jiang Qibin chuckled, "Then I understand. If I had a sister as good as Huiyin, I would want to pluck the stars in the sky for her."
While the brothers were chatting and laughing, an uninvited guest appeared in the Song family's yard.
"Brother Ze, I heard that you were renovating the yard, so your uncle came to see if you need any help." Uncle Song appeared in Song Ruize's yard.
Song Ruize looked at him coldly.
Song Zhixing was embarrassed: "It seems that it has been completed. I don't need to help."
"Uncle, is there something wrong?" Jiang Qibin asked.
"I'm your second uncle in charge, one of us." Song Zhixing said with a smile, "Hey, you saw our Tiegen at the dam, right? Why didn't you transfer him here too?"
Song Ruize didn't say anything. Jiang Qibin said with disgust, "Your son is very capable. We dare not delay him."
"Your son has gained favor with Tong Baotou and has become a small team leader under him. He is quite impressive." Jiang Qingnan knew what Second Uncle Song wanted to hear and directly satisfied the other party's vanity.
"My son is so promising?" Song Zhixing heard this and immediately lost the idea of asking Song Ruize to bring Song Tiegen with him. If he had a tail, it would be up in the air. "Okay, then, you guys continue working and I won't bother you anymore."
He wasn't stupid. Given a choice between the dam owner and a small steward, he'd naturally choose the dam owner over the dam owner. Besides, his son was capable of holding onto the boss, so there was no need for him to beg Song Ruize, a jinx, for help.
Maybe his son is much more powerful than Song Ruize at the dam, but he can't get out and can't show off like Song Ruize.
