After transmigrating, he supported his family by working at a garbage dump.
Chapter 50 Suyehua
Old Mrs. Wang remembered her son's instructions. She had dressed up carefully before going out, wearing the old clothes that Mrs. Zhou had given her, making her look like a wealthy lady who didn't lack money.
How could someone recognize me as a scammer so easily?
After a moment of thought, he glanced at Cao Gu with a fierce look. Could it be that Cao Gu had given herself away?
But then she thought about it again and realized that something was wrong. Although Cao Gu was stupid, as long as Cui Hua's whereabouts were not told to her, she would not dare to disobey her or expose herself.
Grandma Wang looked at Zhang He again. If she hadn't looked closely, it wouldn't have mattered. But once she did, her anger flared up instantly!
It turned out to be her!
What a small world!
Thinking back to how pathetic she looked that night, she felt a burning hatred.
But then Old Mrs. Wang thought about it again and grinned wickedly. If it weren't for their family, her son wouldn't be living such a good life today.
In the future, his son will become an official, a high-ranking one!
Old Mrs. Wang was secretly pleased, but before that...
She glared at Cao Gu, urging her to proceed to the next step.
But Cao Gu seemed still in shock that Zhang He had recognized her, her eyes filled with a hint of guilt.
Feeling the gaze of Old Lady Wang, Cao Gu was slightly taken aback, but immediately got up and walked towards Zhang He.
"Madam, do you have any water here? I'd like to wash my face..."
His eyes, however, were fixed on Zhang He's pocket.
Seeing her red and swollen eyes from crying, and five marks on her face from being slapped, Zhang He felt pity for her again, thinking that she probably wouldn't do anything too outrageous in front of everyone.
He led Cao Gu to the bucket and scooped a ladle of water for her, saying, "Just wash with this cold water; there's oil in the hot water I'm boiling."
He then took a handkerchief out of his pocket and handed it to her. It happened to be the pocket where his purse was kept. If he had taken a handkerchief, she would probably have brought the item with her.
Xu Zhuzhu knew something was wrong and quickly jumped up, feigning a smile, "Mother! Give Aunt my handkerchief."
Without waiting for Zhang He's consent, he took out his handkerchief from his pocket, put it into the water ladle to wet it, and handed it to Cao Gu.
"Auntie, here's my handkerchief!"
Xu Zhuzhu giggled.
Looking at the little girl's well-behaved and adorable appearance, and then at the wet handkerchief, Cao Gu was touched by a painful memory, and her eyes instantly reddened.
She suddenly reached out and ruffled Xu Zhuzhu's hair, took the handkerchief but hesitated to make any further moves.
It was only when Grandma Wang coughed from a distance across the cart that she suddenly stood up and closed her eyes for a long time.
When she opened her eyes again, there was a strange determination in them. Although her face wasn't wiped, she looked completely different from before.
Grandma Wang, who was standing to the side, was so anxious that she was coughing so hard her throat was almost burning, signaling to Cao Gu to hurry up and start.
He cursed inwardly while threatening her with his eyes.
Cao Gu remained unmoved.
Seeing the slight, obvious exchange between the two, Xu Zhuzhu stared intently at Cao Gu, did nothing, but instead patted her head, praised her as a good child, and then walked away in a daze.
Xu Zhuzhu was puzzled.
What's wrong? Are there internal conflicts?
Meanwhile, Zhang He, who was also keeping an eye on Cao Gu, sighed softly, her feelings complicated.
Old Mrs. Wang became anxious.
He grabbed Cao Gu, who was trying to turn back, and whispered angrily in her ear, "What are you doing! They're the same family from last time!"
Cao Gu was slightly taken aback, but did not show much reaction.
Upon seeing this, Old Lady Wang immediately realized what was going on, "You little slut, you knew all along?"
"If you ruin my son's plans, you can forget about ever finding out where Cuihua is!"
Cao Gu smiled slightly, suddenly gaining courage. She laughed foolishly and said self-deprecatingly, "Don't lie to me. Cuihua died a long time ago. It was you and your son who killed her."
No matter what Old Lady Wang said, she refused to make any further moves.
Old Mrs. Wang cursed inwardly and pinched Cao Gu several times, but Cao Gu didn't budge. Thinking about what her son had told her, Old Mrs. Wang cursed and had no choice but to take matters into her own hands.
……
Grandma Wang burst into laughter, her face crinkling with wrinkles.
"Oh dear! My hands are a bit dirty, ma'am, could I borrow some water to wash them?"
Zhang Hecai didn't want to pay any attention to her.
Unexpectedly, Old Lady Wang stuck out her bottom and squeezed herself to the back of the cart, then scooped up a ladle of water and pretended to wash her hands.
He then said, "Boss lady, could you lend me a handkerchief too?"
Zhang He watched coldly, remaining expressionless.
Old Lady Wang glanced around with her beady eyes. Seeing that Zhang He didn't react, she hardened her heart, suddenly tripped her left foot with her right foot, and pretended to fall, heading straight for Zhang He.
Zhang He knew that Old Lady Wang was up to no good, so she kept a close eye on her. Sure enough, she saw Old Lady Wang throw a ladle of water at her.
He calmly took a step to the side.
"Ouch!"
Grandma Wang didn't have time to turn around and fell straight to the ground, landing face-first in the dirt. The water splashed all over her, making her look quite miserable.
Zhang He couldn't help but chuckle, and Xu Zhuzhu's two children also giggled when they saw this.
Grandma Wang looked disheveled. She had just been poked in the waist by a water ladle, which made her wince in pain.
But in his heart he thought: Laugh now, you'll be crying later!
Then, he roared angrily at Cao Gu, "Are you dead?! Help me up right now!"
Cao Gu glanced at her coldly before calmly stepping forward to help her up. Zhang He thought that since she had fallen in front of her stall, it wouldn't be right not to help her.
"Grandma, please be careful." He stepped forward to help her up a few times, but unexpectedly, Grandma Wang's eyes lit up and she came up with another idea.
Taking advantage of the moment when Zhang He was supporting her, she suddenly reached out and rummaged through Zhang He's pocket. Upon seeing this, Zhang He slapped her hard.
"What do you want to do?" he said coldly.
Grandma Wang withdrew her hand in pain.
That bitch reacted pretty quickly!
She was furious inside, but she had to pretend to be nonchalant on the outside.
Just then, a few young men who looked like thugs suddenly appeared on the bustling street, grinning and looking this way.
Xu Zhuzhu sensed something was wrong and knew things were going badly.
We need to hurry and take the things out of her mother's pockets before there are too many people.
He couldn't care less about anything else, so he quickly stepped between the two of them, grabbed Zhang He's hand, and shouted, "Mother! I'm hungry."
Zhang He was taken aback by these words.
She gently rubbed Xu Zhuzhu's head and said with a warm smile, "Mother will cook something for you right away."
When Old Lady Wang saw Xu Zhuzhu rushing out, she cursed inwardly again. This brat was deliberately blocking her way, so she naturally couldn't let Zhang He go back.
The matter my son asked me to do is urgent; I need to get that purse out of my pocket as soon as possible.
Seeing that Old Lady Wang was still standing there, her eyes darting around, Zhang He looked at her warily, then turned away without giving her any chance. "Old lady, once you've washed your hands, you can leave!"
Because Old Lady Wang kept making a scene, many guests were afraid to approach.
Zhang He gently took Xu Zhuzhu's little hand, thinking that she was still thinking about the steamed buns, and comforted her, "I'll buy you steamed buns when Daddy comes back, and Mommy will cook some dumplings for you."
Xu Zhuzhu nodded obediently.
Old Mrs. Wang naturally couldn't let her go back.
A glint of ruthlessness flashed in his narrow eyes, and he followed closely behind. Taking advantage of Zhang He turning around, he grabbed Zhang He's clothes and pulled them hard.
"Madam, may I borrow your handkerchief?"
Zhang He really didn't expect that Old Lady Wang would be so shameless. She instinctively tried to protect Xu Zhuzhu in her arms, but before she knew it, Old Lady Wang had torn her pocket.
The handkerchief in her pocket, along with the small silk pouch, fell out.
"Oh dear, I'm a bit rough with my hands, please don't take offense, madam."
Old Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, but her face was full of apologies. She immediately pretended to pick up the purse and handed it to Zhang He, saying, "Boss lady, you dropped your purse!"
"This is not mine."
Zhang He frowned slightly, staring at the small purse that Old Lady Wang had picked up, unable to figure out what she was trying to do.
"It fell out of your pocket, along with the handkerchief! Everyone saw it."
Grandma Wang smiled, her wrinkles deepening, and looked around, seeking approval.
Xu Zhuzhu suddenly noticed that several carefree-looking young men had gathered around the crowd, including a white-haired man with a slightly upturned goat's horn beard—it was Master Zhang!
Behind the crowd, Zhang Xiaolin was also looking over here smugly.
“Yes, we all saw it,” the young man agreed.
Xu Zhuzhu was startled. They were all back. Her father should be back soon, right?
Zhang He clenched her lips, also noticing something amiss.
Is it revenge?
Just then, Old Lady Wang suddenly wrinkled her nose as if to sound serious, sniffed the purse, and exclaimed loudly:
"...This smells like night-blooming cereus, doesn't it? Boss lady, you didn't put this in your pot, did you?"
The street was bustling with people, but because of Old Lady Wang's constant commotion, customers were having little business at the stall in order to avoid getting into trouble. As soon as they heard Old Lady Wang speaking, they all rushed over to her.
"What? Night-blooming jasmine?"
"Isn't this something that's forbidden to be used in food?"
With more and more people talking about it, it's hard to say how it will spread later.
Zhang He's expression changed drastically, and she angrily retorted to Old Lady Wang, "Nonsense! I have never used any Su Ye Hua! Don't make false accusations!"
However, once the onlookers heard that it was Su Yehua, they were already led by the nose and immediately started discussing it all at once.
The first one was Zhang Xiaolin, who scoffed, "Really? I'm curious too, why does everything on this street smell so good?"
A hint of smugness flashed in his eyes.
Wang Xiucai is quick!
The idea was good. He had just finished arranging things for those two old geezers in the Mi family when he came back and stumbled upon this good show. He immediately felt very happy!
Xu Zhuzhu was puzzled by his expression. Where did Zhang Xiaolin get such malice?
