Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Why did Xu Yan have to say it at this time when there were other options? Wasn't this obviously turning her into a beggar who begged for money everywhere?

"Okay, I accept your apology. Take a good rest. Remember your behavior next time and don't throw water on others for no reason."

After learning the real reason why Zhong Qingqing was injured from Xu Yan, Su Wanwan's doubts disappeared. With a faint smile on her face, she walked out. Xu Yan followed closely behind.

"Xu Yan!" The eldest sister Xu Lan in the inner room suddenly called out.

But when Xu Yan turned around and met her gaze, she didn't know what to say for a moment. Yes, after all, they were not related, so why should Zhong Qingqing cook for them for free? But wasn't Xu Yan giving her two yuan a day too much?

Besides... when he said this in front of everyone just now, was he defending the girl from the Su family?

"Sister, I have some things to do. I'll be back later. Please discuss the cooking with my second sister."

After saying that, Xu Yan's figure also disappeared at the door.

"Ms. Zhong, why didn't you tell us that the third brother gave you two dollars a day?"

After being exposed by Xu Yan in public, Zhong Qingqing wanted to crawl into the ground right then and there. On the surface, she continued to complain about her grievances, crying, "I thought my elder sister and second sister knew about this..."

The second sister Xu Mei's face was even more shocked.

Her brother was nowhere to be seen except when he went to the fields. She understood that he could make some money elsewhere, but wasn't the money too much for Zhong Qingqing to just cook a meal at their house?

If she and Xu Lan knew about this, would they not stop it? Whose money was blown away by the wind!

"I didn't want it at first, but Third Brother said that we should treat each other as one, and I couldn't refuse, so I accepted it. I...I have saved it, or I will go back and give it back to Second Sister..."

For a moment, it was hard to tell whether Zhong Qingqing was pretending or being sincere. Xu Mei's face went through several complicated expressions like a slide show. In the end, Xu Lan in the inner room waved her hand.

"Since Xu Yan gave it to you, you should keep it well."

Since elder sister Xu Lan said so, Xu Mei naturally had nothing to say.

"Miss Zhong is injured now, so let's take turns cooking for our family from now on."

It's too extravagant to invite Zhong Qingqing.

Knowing that Xu Mei had complaints about the family and was unwilling to do so much work, Xu Lan sighed.

Xu Mei nodded, which was considered as her agreement.

Coming out with Xu Yan, Su Wanwan walked with ease, and the two of them headed towards a secluded path leading into the mountains.

"You actually give her two dollars every day." Su Wanwan was also shocked by this number.

No wonder Zhong Qingqing tried every means to get close to Xu Yan. A rich young man who could spend two dollars a day was a good deal that was hard to find even with a lantern.

If I climb up the big tree of Xu Yan, will I have to worry about my good life in the future?

"She seems to be in dire need of money." Xu Yan said as he walked.

Su Wanwan couldn't disagree, so she nodded. But she didn't know what she wanted the money for.

"So you gave it to her?" Su Wanwan asked casually. She had already seen Xu Yan's car parked in the mountains from afar.

"Don't you want me to give it to her?" Xu Yan suddenly turned his head, with a sincere inquiry in his eyes.

"Ah... this is your own business."

Su Wanwan was a little surprised.

Even though she didn't want to give Zhong Qingqing a penny in her heart, she couldn't influence Xu Yan's wishes.

"You just said in the bathroom that we are friends."

Su Wanwan was thinking about why Xu Yan asked for her opinion, but before she could figure it out, she was asked another question.

"Yes, making friends is not a shameful thing." Su Wanwan said frankly with a smile.

"You mean, you just treat me as a friend." Xu Yan's eyes flashed as he stared at the innocent Su Wanwan.

Doesn't she understand?

"What else?" The car was getting closer and closer to them. Su Wanwan walked quickly towards the car, leaving Xu Yan behind without thinking deeply about what he had just said.

It’s really a car!

Since traveling to this era, this is the first time she has observed the cars of this era so closely!

It's amazing that these things made of scrap metal can actually be driven.

Looking at Su Wanwan's curious look, Xu Yan pursed his lips and suddenly laughed: "Do you like it?"

like?

How could anyone like this ugly thing made of scrap metal?

Su Wanwan shook her head awkwardly.

"Then I'll buy a nicer one next time." Xu Yan opened the car door, showed Su Wanwan the interior decoration, and then opened the trunk.

"Okay...wait a minute, what did you say? Is this your car?" Didn't Xu Yan just say that this was a car that his friend had left with him? How come it's his now! ?

She must have remembered that in this era, buying a car requires various complicated procedures and certificates. As a farmer, how could Xu Yan buy a car? It was simply a fantasy!

"Don't tell anyone else."

really!

Su Wanwan was shocked again.

If it was a friend's car, he would have taken it back home long ago. How could he have left it here for so long?

"Xu Yan, how much do you know that I don't know?" But Su Wanwan couldn't help but ask.

The setting sun shone on the hillside with dense trees. Su Wanwan and Xu Yan's eyes met, and she seemed to understand something in a trance.

Could Xu Yan be her "hidden golden finger"?

Possessing abilities and cognition that are incompatible with this era, if this isn't a golden finger, then what is it!

Su Wanwan even began to doubt Xu Yan's true identity...

"There are many more." Xu Yan answered Su Wanwan honestly, then closed the car door and leaned against it: "I will tell you when the time is right."

Xu Yan's sincere attitude made it difficult for Su Wanwan not to believe her.

"Ahem, my mother has already knitted several cloaks. I'll go home and get them for you now."

Jogging all the way back home from the mountain, Zhao Ying saw Su Wanwan from afar and almost thought he was seeing things.

"Wanwan, why did you come back so early today? Isn't the radio station busy?" Zhao Ying was about to light the stove to cook. She took a rag to wipe her hands, turned around and went into the house to get a bowl.

In the bowl were two smooth hard-boiled eggs.

"Mom just cooked eggs for you. I thought you'd be tired after a day, so you might want to eat them when you come back in the evening. Now that you're back is just the right time. Eat them while they're hot."

"Mom, our family has no shortage of meat now, why are you still hiding eggs for me..." Su Wanwan suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

I remembered what the original owner did before.

Whenever her parents had something delicious to eat or drink, they would try to secretly save some for her, but she didn't understand their thoughtfulness and always gave them to Yan Wenxuan to waste.

"Silly child, we have more meat, but the amount of eggs is still the same as before. Eggs and meat are different. Eat quickly. Mother will go cook." Zhao Ying looked at Su Wanwan lovingly and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

"Mom, I came back early today on purpose. Hurry up and pack up the things you knitted with my sister-in-law. I will take them to town to sell."

"It's so late today. You won't be back until midnight if you go to town? How about going tomorrow? Or I can ask your father to harness a bullock cart for you?"
