Quick Wear: The saints are too miserable, the host will never be soft-hearted

It has been a while since we moved to Dahe Town. The two children have no difficulty adapting to the new environment.

"Dad, I'm taking Sisi to the street. You don't have to keep us lunch at noon." Lu Yi put down the comb, picked out a red hairband, wrapped it around four times, and then admired his work with satisfaction.

"Oh, I get it. Do you have any small change on you? If not, tell dad." Lu Duocai had a smile on his face and held four candied haws in his hand, giving one to each person.

"Yes, you forgot, my wallet is full now. I will definitely tell you if I am out of money." Lu Yi bit off a hawthorn, feeling a little helpless. The next day after returning to Dahe Town, she found an excuse to go to the drugstore and chose a hundred-year-old ginseng in the space. The quality was excellent, and the shopkeeper directly paid her two hundred taels of silver.

But when he came back and gave it to Lu's father, he refused to take it.

"Everyone is gone, what are you still looking at? My daughter has been craving dumplings recently. I bought six pounds of pork at the morning market. You come and help me chop them into pieces. When Anyuan finishes her evening class, the mother and daughter should be back from the street. In the evening, our family of five will make dumplings for dinner." There was no sadness in Li Yanshi's eyes, only happiness.

Lu Duocai looked at the backs of the two, one big and one small, walking away slowly, handed the last candied haws in his hand to Li Yanshi's mouth, rolled up his sleeves and responded.

"Leave it to me, I guarantee it will be chopped into small pieces."

"It can't be too broken, just about right. Do you hear me?" Li Yanshi instructed, and followed in to take a look worriedly.

On the street, Lu Yi held Lu Sisi's hand and said, "We're having chicken stewed with mushrooms for lunch today. Sisi, do you want to eat it?"

As they walked, more people appeared on the street. Lu Yi put his hand under the child's shoulder, picked her up, and pinched her chubby cheeks.

"Yeah!" Lu Sisi nodded actively with the broken candy in her mouth.

After sitting down, Lu Yi ordered another serving of stewed chicken with mushrooms and told the waiter, "Just serve us one portion. Pack up the other one when it's ready. I want it to go."

After saying that, Lu Yi rummaged through his purse, found a small amount of silver, handed it to the servant and waited for the change. He turned around and saw Lu Sisi's little face with her head tilted.

He pinched the little tuft on her head and said, "Don't worry, Sisi, it will be fine soon. Eat some water chestnut cake first."

Lu Yi took a piece of water chestnut cake from the plate and put it in Lu Sisi's hand, "Eat slowly."

"Mom, okay!"

Lu Sisi held the water chestnut cake in her palm, but she hadn't taken a bite yet. She just held it in her hand and smiled at Lu Yi obediently, with a small dimple at the corner of her mouth. Lu Yi reached out and touched her lightly, and she smiled again, showing a row of small teeth, and lowered her head to nibble on the cake.

The pastries were served quickly, but the stewed chicken with mushrooms would take at least half an hour to come out. Lu Yi also picked up a piece of water chestnut cake to fill his stomach. He looked around the restaurant slowly and was attracted by the couple at the middle table.

Did you come here specifically for a blind date? Lu Yi sat up straight, his eyes shining as he listened attentively.

"Didn't I tell you that I won't eat anything other than the food at Fuguilou? Why did you choose such a small restaurant? Do you think you don't like me?"

The woman had a pretty face and a soft voice, but the content of her words was not gentle at all.

The man opposite was dressed in a washed-out blue gown, dressed like a scholar. A trace of shame welled up on his face. "My family is poor. My mother works day and night, and we have to save the money we earn to take the college entrance examination next year. Fuguilou is too expensive. I... I can't afford it."

"I haven't even promised myself to you yet, and you're already telling me this is expensive and that is expensive. Will I have a good life if I marry you in the future? Forget it, just go away. I can't stand seeing you looking so poor." The woman twisted her body and covered her nose with her hands as if she was shooing away a fly.

This means there is nothing to discuss, Lu Yi looked at it seriously.

The man said nothing, sighed, counted out the copper coins for the meal one by one from his purse, piled a small handful on the corner of the table, bowed to the woman, and then turned and left. From behind he looked like a poor gentleman.

"What are you daydreaming about? Come here! You've been listening for so long, do you know how depressed I am? Talk to me quickly, I'm so annoyed!"

Lu Yi suddenly met the woman's displeased gaze as she turned her head back, and a mouthful of water chestnut cake almost got stuck in his throat, until a hesitant response came from the table behind him.

Then she realized that she was not the only one watching the fun.

"...What can I say? After all, this is someone your father personally chose. Honggui, why would your father choose a poor scholar as his son-in-law? He's not worthy of you at all."

Wang Honggui grabbed her best friend's hand, as if she had found a soulmate. "That's right, he keeps talking about his mother. How can he ever have room for me in his heart? I won't marry someone who doesn't love me! But you don't know, my father insists that people should think long-term, saying that he will definitely pass the imperial examination next year and that good days are ahead."

"He even used my pocket money to blackmail me into coming here."

Wang Honggui sighed and slumped down on the table. "It's pointless to come here. Did you see that? Lin Jiajin looks like that. He can't be picked out from a crowd! He's totally unworthy of me! What if he fails the imperial examination? Am I going to waste my whole life accompanying him and his lame mother?"

"In my opinion, looks are what you can see and touch. Do you think my dad has been selling pork for so long that he thinks every man has a handsome face? Why does he insist on me marrying that Lin Jiajin? Why not let him marry him himself?"

Lin Jiajin? Wang Honggui? The butcher's daughter?

Lu Yi took another look and she remembered that in the original owner's memory, the day before Du Wendong took away the second concubine, he came to ridicule the original owner.

The general meaning is that Wang Honggui's first husband was named Lin. He was a sweet talker and tricked Wang Honggui into marrying him. He spent her family's money on imperial examinations, but failed repeatedly. Later, he died of a cold. Du Wendong was kind-hearted, so he took her in as a sister to the original owner.

Lu Yi listened to the complaints of her two best friends with a strange expression on her face. She knew that Lin Jiajin was in the same private school as Lu Anyuan and was specially admitted by the teacher with free tuition.

Could it be that the private school teacher and Wang Honggui's father were both blind at the same time? She had just seen him in person, and he didn't seem to have no real skills.

Thinking about Zhang Cuifen, who was determined to choose a wealthy daughter-in-law, and Wang Honggui who looked down on the ordinary-looking Lin Jiajin, why not...

Lu Yi touched his chin and had an idea in his mind.

"Well, I have a stomachache. I'm going to the toilet. Wait for me." Kong Sanya stood up, afraid that Wang Honggui would turn around and leave.

"You really know how to pick the time. I'm halfway through my words and still have to wait for you."

"Right away, I'll be right away." Kong Sanya smiled apologetically. Just as she entered the back room of the restaurant, she was stopped by a woman holding a little girl in her arms.
