Chapter 15 A Kindness Delivered to Your Door

Everyone present was stunned, seemingly not expecting the father to take such good care of the Cheng family.

"Understood." Jiang Songzhi got up and did as instructed, taking three bowls from the basket and clumsily scooping up the noodles.

Jiang Yuhuai looked at the three bowls of noodles that were missing from the pot and couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He kept blinking and signaling Jiang Songzhi to serve less, but the other party pretended not to see it.

"Little sister, come with me to deliver this to the Cheng family."

"Huh?" Jiang Yutang, who was suddenly called out, was completely bewildered. When she met Jiang Songzhi's meaningful gaze, she could only give in helplessly.

"oh."

The two men, carrying steaming hot noodles, searched for the Cheng family in the crowd, attracting the attention of people who were eating pancakes.

They eventually found the family in a relatively quiet place.

At this moment, Cheng Daier was breaking the pancake into small pieces and putting them in a bowl, preparing to soak them in water. Before she even saw anyone, she smelled the aroma of the noodles.

She twitched her nose, looked up in surprise, and saw Jiang Songzhi and Jiang Yutang walking towards them.

Instinctively, she frowned and asked sharply, "What are you doing here?"

Jiang Songzhi smiled politely and said, "My father asked my younger sister and me to bring you three bowls of noodles."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Lanzhou felt displeased. He looked at the noodles in the two bowls, and even though they smelled delicious and were steaming hot, he was unwilling to accept them.

"Thank you for your kindness, but the Jiang family has no reason to accept it."

The reason he was so angry was because of his marriage to Jiang Yutang. Jiang Yutang was being unreasonable and difficult, but even a reasonable and dignified man like Master Jiang spoiled his beloved daughter without considering the consequences and resorted to underhanded tactics.

If it weren't for Master Jiang's intervention back then, he wouldn't have been able to marry Jiang Yutang.

"Gurgle—"

Cheng Dai'er's stomach growled at an inopportune moment, as if bewitched by the aroma of the noodles.

Realizing she had embarrassed her younger brother, Cheng Daier suppressed her embarrassment and put on a resolute expression: "Didn't you hear my brother say he doesn't need it? Hurry up and take it away."

"Gurgle—"

Lin gave an embarrassed dry laugh, her eyes filled with reluctance as she looked away from the three bowls of noodles.

Jiang Yutang had more or less guessed Cheng Lanzhou's dissatisfaction, but this was not the time to act rashly; his health and survival were the most important things.

She pondered for a moment before speaking, "If you don't want to eat, we'll just keep two portions. Your aunt and mother need to eat something, after all, they still have to take care of you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Songzhi raised his eyebrows in surprise, then looked at Cheng Lanzhou with a hint of amusement.

Listen to what they're saying. They're giving gifts to everyone except him, and they even specifically requested that "the two of them take care of him."

Cheng Lanzhou clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and then turned to look at her, gritting his teeth as he said, "You make sense."

Seeing that Cheng Lanzhou was furious, the original owner of this body would probably have coaxed him gently. Unfortunately, she was the one in control of this body now!

"In that case, please have your meal first. I will ask my younger brother to bring the bowls later."

Jiang Songzhi placed the two bowls of noodles on the cart next to him and looked at Jiang Yutang, wondering what she would do.

Unexpectedly, she actually took the bowl of noodles and walked back.

As Cheng Lanzhou watched her departing figure, the veins on his clenched fists bulged, and his face grew increasingly gloomy.

Cheng Dai'er glanced over and noticed that the veins on her younger brother's jaw were bulging. She quickly called out to Jiang Yutang, "Wait!"

"Is there anything else, Auntie?" Jiang Yutang looked at Cheng Daier innocently, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Uh, two bowls aren't enough for me and Mom, right, Mom?"

Lin quickly replied, "Yes, I'm really hungry today."

Since things had come to this point, Jiang Yutang tried her best to suppress a laugh and went along with it, handing the remaining bowl to the other person: "In that case, you can eat this bowl as well."

"...Thank you."

This was the first time in a long time that Cheng Daier had expressed her gratitude.

After the two left, Cheng Daier breathed a sigh of relief, looked helplessly at Cheng Lanzhou, opened and closed her mouth several times but finally closed it again.

Jiang Yuhuai was shocked when he saw the two return empty-handed: "They really accepted it? I thought they wouldn't want it."

“They didn’t want it at first.” Jiang Songzhi looked at Jiang Yutang with suppressed laughter, shook his head and smiled helplessly.

Jiang Yutang crossed her arms dismissively: "It's not like I'm begging him to eat it, hmph."

Ten packs of instant noodles were not enough to begin with, and now three more were missing. Fortunately, there was still plenty of soup left, so they took out the dry rations that they had found hard to swallow during the day and soaked them in the soup to eat.

After finishing the last sip of soup, Jiang Sumin put down his bowl, stared at Jiang Yutang, and asked, "These weren't also things you bought with that merchant, were they?"

Jiang Yutang, who had just sat down and hadn't even taken a couple of bites, was looking at him with a mournful expression, a noodle still hanging from her mouth.

"You didn't ask before you ate, and only spoke up after you were finished eating."

Jiang Sumin was taken aback by her words. Hearing the muffled laughter beside him, he gritted his teeth and made an excuse for himself: "I wanted to ask you this morning, but I was too busy to do so just now."

"Oh, I see. It's all this noodle's fault. It made my fourth brother dizzy with its fragrance."

Hahahaha!

Jiang Huaiyu, who was standing to the side, could no longer hold back and burst out laughing. The shoulders of the others also trembled slightly. The two old people shook their heads with suppressed laughter. Only the young and ignorant Xiaoxiao was grabbing noodles into the bowl with her bare hands.

After this commotion, Jiang Sumin lost patience to ask further questions and pretended to be angry as he got up and left.

Jiang Songzhi joked, "Little sister is getting more and more impressive. This is the first time she has left Su Min speechless."

"Hey, stop talking. Someone go and keep an eye on him. His foot isn't fully healed yet. If he twists it again, I'll have to carry him."

"I'll go." Jiang Jiuzhe put down his chopsticks and left.

After eating and drinking their fill, they began to pack up. The two sisters-in-law washed the pots by the river, while Jiang Yutang was responsible for destroying the remaining packaging bags to cover up the evidence.

When the dishes were halfway washed, they saw Cheng Daier carrying a bowl over from afar. She handed it to Mu Shi and said reluctantly, "Thank you for your trouble."

Jiang Yuhuai, who was washing the pots nearby, sneered when he saw this: "What's the use of just saying thank you? You're eating it yourselves, so go wash it yourselves."

That's right. After all, the noodles were given to us by someone else, and it would be a bit unreasonable to just eat them and leave.

Cheng Dai'er glared angrily at Jiang Yuhuai: "Fine, I'll wash it myself!" With that, she rolled up her sleeves.

Seeing that the former young lady of the General's Mansion was angry, Jiang Huaiyu watched the show, tossing aside the leaves used to scrub the pot, and unconsciously curling up the corners of her mouth.

This young lady, who had never lifted a finger before, had no idea how to wash dishes. The moment her hands touched the oil from the instant noodles, they quickly smeared their oil with her fingers. She finished washing the dishes with a wide grin on her face the whole time.

After returning home, he kept staring at his hands, bringing them to his nose to smell them, and then disgustedly taking out some perfume from his bundle to apply.

Without detergent, the only option was to scrub and rinse the pot with leaves. The next day, when porridge was cooked in the pot, it still retained the aroma of instant noodles.

Perhaps it was because I ate a big meal last night, but I felt energetic while traveling this morning.

The July sun was incredibly scorching. Jiang Yutang shielded her forehead with her left hand and fanned herself with a large leaf in her right hand. She glanced at Yun Shi beside her and noticed that the other woman had two tan lines on her neck.

She quickly stretched out her arm to check and found that her arm and wrist were two different colors.

Look at the power of these ultraviolet rays, could it be from Yunnan?
