C269 No Relationship from Now on
Naturally, Lee Wanning recognized him. It was the chicken soup that he got for Zhou Qu yesterday.
There were still several pieces of meat inside, which should have been put in by Zhou Qu.
Lee Wanning thought for a moment before taking the pot and the meat inside.
The villagers all had the habit of waking up early in the morning, but usually, they would eat steamed buns or porridge. This early in the morning, many people could smell a very rich fragrance.
That fragrance caused many people to walk out.
"Who's cooking? It smells so good."
"That's right, what's this cooking?"
Lee Wanning was sitting in the yard. When she saw Aunt Chiang and a few other people walking over, she suddenly smiled.
"Aunt Chiang, why are you so early?"
"Aa Ning, is this fragrance coming from your house?"
Lee Wanning smiled and said, "Your noses are really sharp. Yes, I cooked it for you. Why don't you all try it later?"
When Xiang Yunxi had just woken up, she felt that her stomach was empty, as if something had happened to it.
Her body was fine. Just as she was about to get out of bed to cook, she saw Lee Wanning's house, which seemed to be bustling with noise and excitement.
What was this woman doing now?
While she was thinking, Xiang Yunxi had already walked over.
He saw them eating!
Lee Wanning made a pot of stewed meat and some big white buns. All of them were eating with smiles on their faces.
This woman used such a small favor to win the hearts of others!
As Xiang Yunxi turned to leave, Lee Wanning, who was inside, saw her and said, "That, Yunxi!"
Hearing the voice, everyone turned to look at Xiang Yunxi. Xiang Yunxi had no choice but to stop in her tracks.
Lee Wanning brought out the meat she had just scooped and two steamed buns.
"Speaking of which, this meat belongs to your family. You still haven't cooked yet, right? This is for you to eat. "
"What did you say?" What is my family? "
"You don't know? "Last night, your family's Aa Fu got Aa Ning to cook dinner for you. Today, he took the meat and came over to thank you. This Aa Ning made the food and gave it to you again, but it's really …"
Before Aunt Chiang could finish her sentence, Xiang Yunxi suddenly raised her hand. The object in Lee Wanning's hand had been knocked over!
The steamed bun was still alright, but the meat was still warm. With a flip, the surrounding people immediately started shouting.
That piece of meat fell to the ground, and a large portion of Lee Wanning's hand was scalded.
"Hey, Xiang Yunxi, why are you like this?"
They were just asking Lee Wanning how the meat was made, and she wasn't stingy enough to tell them about it. She even gave them a lot of seasoning, and now that the meat had been poured over, she naturally felt sorry for it.
Xiang Yunxi saw how everyone was criticizing her and felt even more wronged. She gritted her teeth and said, "Eat, eat, eat. Don't think that it's good enough for her to give all of you to eat. Be careful of her poisoning us!"
With that, Xiang Yunxi turned and ran.
The surrounding people were all angry, "How can this person be like this?"
"That's right, this is too much. Before, I thought that she was pretty good, but now, it seems that she is this vicious."
Aunt Chiang looked at Lee Wanning. "Are you alright?" How about I give you some medicine? "
"It's fine, I can deal with it myself later. This matter was handled wrongly by me, so I can't blame her."
"You are too kind! "Ai …"
Xiang Yunxi ran home, but she still couldn't hold back her tears. She covered her face with her hands.
She had no money and could not move, but after today's incident, her neighbors would definitely hate her to death, so there was no point in staying here.
Everything was Lee Wanning's fault!
Why did she appear in her life like this? It was all Lee Wanning's fault!
At night, when Zhou Qu came back, he saw Xiang Yunxi lying on the bed with a wet pillow.
Zhou Qu immediately came forward and said, "What happened?"
Hearing the sound, Xiang Yunxi raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Qu, "Aa Fu..." I feel wronged! "
Xiang Yunxi told Zhou Qu about what had happened.
"I know I don't know how to behave, nor how to speak, but you can't bully people like that, Lee Wanning!" How many days had she been here? Now that all the neighbors have spoken to her, how will we live in the future? She just wanted to get rid of me! We don't have any money, and we can't leave either. Why are we here when you said she was so capable? Isn't it better to go outside? She has so many things, and I don't have anything more. I only have you, but she still wants to come and snatch it.
Xiang Yunxi cried at the top of her lungs as she spoke. Her appearance made Zhou Qu frown.
He said slowly, "How about this, I'll tell her!"
"I'll go with you!"
Xiang Yunxi said as she was about to get up, but was pushed down by Zhou Qu, "You haven't had a proper meal today, have you? "You should eat this steamed bun. It's not too cold for me to cover it with my hands. Hurry up and eat it."
Xiang Yunxi looked at him and could only nod.
Zhou Qu turned around and left.
In the end, Xiang Yunxi still silently followed behind him.
The sky was getting dark. Lee Wanning and Zhou Bao were eating in the yard. Her hands were covered with bandages. Zhou Qu frowned slightly and stood by the door, "Miss Lee."
Hearing the sound, Lee Wanning raised her head. When she saw Zhou Qu, her eyes brightened up for a moment before she stood up.
"Why have you come? You want me to help you …"
"I have something to say to you." Zhou Qu interrupted her.
His expression was obviously cold and detached, and that attitude caused the smile on Lee Wanning's face to instantly vanish.
Coincidentally, Zhou Bao walked out, "Uncle …"
Lee Wanning pushed Zhou Bao a little, "Go and eat. I'll tell you about it later."
Zhou Bao looked at Zhou Qu and walked in slowly.
Lee Wanning looked at Zhou Qu and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Under the lantern light, Lee Wanning's cheeks slightly raised and her eyes were sparkling. That look made Zhou Qu feel like he had seen it somewhere before.
He said, "I heard Yunxi talk about what happened today. She might be a little excited, but because she misunderstood our relationship, I'll apologize on her behalf. I'm sorry!"
Looking at Zhou Qu apologizing to her seriously, Lee Wanning felt sad.
However, she restrained herself and looked at the person in front of her, "Hmm? And then?"
"Then, Miss Lee, your conditions are very good. Yunxi and I … We're already married, and we want to live a quiet life. I don't know who Miss Lee's husband is, but it's not me. "It seems like we are not short on money. All our savings have already bought a house here, so I hope that from today onwards, Miss Lee will not disturb our lives."
Lee Wanning just looked at him without blinking.
That gaze made Zhou Qu feel a bit uncomfortable. However, he still turned around and was about to leave after finishing his sentence.
Lee Wanning's voice came from behind. "You want me to leave, don't you?"
Zhou Qu's footsteps stopped. Before he could answer, Xiang Yunxi came up to him and held him back. She looked at the person in front of her and said, "Yes, that's what you mean!"
Lee Wanning only looked at Zhou Qu's back.
He said he hoped she could leave them alone.
But what about her life?
What should she do?
Lee Wanning clenched her hands tightly and slowly looked down. What she saw was Xiang Yunxi holding Zhou Qu's hand.
Lee Wanning chuckled lightly and said, "Alright, I won't disturb your lives again, but this village isn't yours. I won't leave!"
Xiang Yunxi's expression immediately changed. Lee Wanning, however, ignored her and directly closed the door.
After closing the door, her tears kept falling.
Why?
Why should she go away?
It was hers.
That was her position, and also her husband. Why did he let her go?
He must have remembered something, because Lee Wanning could see that he looked more and more like the Zhou Qu of the past, overlapping with the person in his memories.
However, such a person no longer belonged to her.
Just because she was a step too late?
Just because... Did Xiang Yunxi save him first?
Lee Wanning didn't know.
The next day, Lee Wanning happened to run into Xiang Yunxi while she was washing clothes by the river.
Upon seeing her, Xiang Yunxi snorted coldly and turned to leave.
It just so happened that Aunt Chiang was also there, shaking her head as she watched.
"This Xiang Yunxi is really going too far. I say, you shouldn't have saved her that day!"
Lee Wanning smiled nonchalantly. "It's fine. I think it's pretty good now too."
Aunt Chiang was also in a good mood today. After Lee Wanning asked, she found out that her son was about to come back from the city. She even asked Lee Wanning to teach her how to make that pot of stew, saying that her stew was always not as delicious as Lee Wanning's.
Lee Wanning only smiled and said, "It's alright. If you think I can cook well, then I'll cook well tonight and send you some!"
Aunt Chiang looked at Lee Wanning. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her. She smiled and said, "Erm, Aa Ning, in that case, have you ever thought about bringing Ah Bao along to find another family?"
Lee Wanning was stunned for a moment before she shook her head and said, "Not yet."
"No, I mean …"
"Aunt Chiang, are you trying to make Miss Lee your wife?"
