Could it be that Miss Jiang has already married this man?

As soon as this thought came to mind, Liu Jue quickly suppressed it.

If the two were married, Wei Chengye would have called Jiang Yao "Madam" just now, but now he just calls her by her first name, which shows that they are just casual acquaintances.

Liu Jue noticed that Jiang Yao's face did not show any trace of shyness or joy that a girl would feel when she saw her lover.

These two people are definitely not husband and wife!

But as the saying goes, you can never know a person's heart through his appearance. Liu Jue could clearly feel Wei Chengye's hostility towards him, but he didn't know whether this person liked Jiang Yao.

Or does she think she is a bad guy?

Liu Jue didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he walked up to Wei Chengye and asked in confusion, "Miss Jiang, who is he?"

"His name is Wei Chengye, and he lives next door to me."

"Oh, Master Wei, it just so happens that you two are going the same way, why don't we take a ride together?"

Jiang Yao was speechless. Why was Liu Jue so stubborn?

But this time, Wei Chengye directly interrupted Jiang Yao.

"Thank you for your kindness, but Jiang Yao and I still have something to discuss, and I may have to go out to purchase some supplies, so I won't bother you."

His tone was cold, and what he did made sense. Liu Jue didn't ask any more questions, but just smiled and waved to the two of them.

Looking at the two people's departing backs, Liu Jue felt a sense of loss in his resolute heart.

Chu Jin walked over slowly from behind, staring at him with a playful look on his face.

"Oh, our handsome and elegant Young Master Liu actually failed in finding a woman."

"That's not necessarily true." Liu Jue rolled his eyes at Chu Jin and slapped Ye Zichen's arm hard with the folding fan in his hand.

"The two of them are not married, and Miss Jiang doesn't look like she's married either. If she's not married yet, even if I met her a little later than her, it wouldn't be too late."

"What a loud tone."

"Of course, don't you see who I am!" The disappointment in his heart was swept away, and Liu Jue turned back into the unruly playboy again, attracting curious glances from the girls around him.

After distanced himself from Liu Jue, Wei Chengye hesitated for a moment and said seriously.

"How did you know him? I think he wants to invite you to a carriage. You'd better be careful. Rich people have a lot of things to do."

It was rare for Jiang Yao to see Wei Chengye so serious, and her tone of voice became much softer.

"I met him in a restaurant, and this is what happened..."

Perhaps because she was worried about Wei Chengye's anger, Jiang Yao only said a few simple words, and then recounted what happened between her and the Chu family inn.

When Wei Chengye heard that Jiang Yao actually rejected Liu Jue, he immediately felt relieved and his expression looked much better, but his tone became serious.

"I know you have your own ideas, but as a girl, you should always be careful."

"Thank you very much, Brother Wei!"

The two chatted all the way and soon arrived at the market. Lu and Jiang Yu had also sorted out their affairs and were sitting aside.

Jiang Yao knew that the tofu boxes she made today had been sold out.

She and Wei Chengye hurried over to help and moved all their luggage back.

On the way back, Jiang Yao briefly told Lu and Jiang Yu about the transaction. Lu was stunned and Jiang Yu's mouth opened wide.

"Sister, this means that we don't need to go to the city to open a store, and we can still make money?"

After touching Jiang Yu's hair, Jiang Yao nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, besides, we just need to give them the goods. As for sales, that's their store's business. It can save a lot of trouble. Are you happy?

"Happy!" a voice came from behind.

The group happily returned to their grandmother's home in Qiushan Village. Mrs. Lu saw that Jiang Yao seemed to have something to say to Wei Chengye.

Old Mrs. Lu snatched a piece of wild boar meat from Wei Chengye and went into the kitchen, while Jiang Yu obediently returned to her room and met her sister.

Soon, Wei Chengye and Jiang Yao were the only ones left standing in the entire courtyard.

"Wait there for a moment. I'll go get some things and be back soon." Jiang Yao said as she quickly walked into her room.

While drinking water, she walked to Wei Chengye and handed him a bag.

"Thank you so much for last time. Now our business is getting better and better, and we can make a lot of money every day. I plan to return the money to you."

"No, I won't need this little money when our financial situation gets better."

Wei Chengye originally planned to tell Jiang Yao that it didn’t matter if Jiang Yao didn’t return it to him.

Besides, Wei Chengye also knew the situation of himself and his mother.

Jiang Xin still needs to rely on medicine to maintain her health, and Jiang Yao's catering business also needs to be used to purchase raw materials. Apart from this, she also needs other expenses.

If he accepted it now, Jiang Yao would not have much money left.

Besides, he eats here every day. He is tired from hunting in the mountains and has a good appetite. Just consider it as his food allowance.

Jiang Yao knew what Wei Chengye was thinking, because she knew that stinky tofu consumed a lot of ingredients every time, and if it was delivered to her tomorrow, she would need to buy more.

However, she always felt that she owed others money, and had been in debt for a long time, which made her even more worried.

So she moved her purse forward again.

"Brother Wei, our family will definitely get better and better in the future, don't worry, just accept this money."

"No." After another firm refusal, Wei Chengye rubbed his arms and sighed in mock sadness.

"It's been very hard hunting in the mountains these days. I need some nutrition. You can take it."

Wei Chengye saw from the corner of his eye that Jiang Yao was still struggling, and a thought flashed through his mind, so he suddenly changed the subject.

However, those deep eyes fell on Jiang Yao, with a bit of uneasiness.

Could it be that Jiang Yao saw through his true intentions?

"Oh, I plan to leave the Wei family and live alone these two days. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Well, let me think about it."

Jiang Yao narrowed her eyes and thought about it. It seemed that someone mentioned renting a house, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

But when she woke up, she saw the pear tree in the yard.

"There are several courtyards over there, and they plan to rent them out."

"Besides, there was no special reason. My children had all moved to the new house, and I didn't want them to sleep alone in the old house, so I took them there. Therefore, the old house was vacant."

"That's good."

The two talked about the situation around them for a while, and Jiang Yao went into the kitchen to help Lu cook. Wei Chengye had nothing to do for the time being, so he helped to light the fire.

When dinner was ready, the aroma from the yard was already wafting in the air. Old Mrs. Lu walked into the kitchen happily. When she saw the man standing in front of the stove, the smile on her face disappeared immediately.
