Late at night, Widow Wu's house.
The light was on in the kitchen, and Wu Runyuan, wearing home clothes, was washing vegetables alone.
The widow has a lot of trouble at home. Since her husband passed away, she has had very little contact with people in the village.
I have long been accustomed to being alone.
Even so, rumors still spread from time to time, damaging Wu Runyuan's reputation.
And since the last time she helped Zhang Dachuan testify and was regarded as a bitch by the villagers, Wu Runyuan has been even less willing to have more contact with the villagers.
However, Wu Runyuan still felt sad when she thought of Zhang Dachuan and others having a lively fish feast together, while he could only cook and eat alone, with no one to talk to.
In a daze, Wu Runyuan accidentally touched the kitchen knife on the chopping board with her arm.
The kitchen knife fell down immediately and stabbed straight into Wu Runyuan's foot.
Seeing that the kitchen knife was about to hit her smooth feet, a big hand suddenly stretched out from the side of the knife and held the kitchen knife firmly at the critical moment.
With a "pop" sound, Zhang Dachuan put the kitchen knife on the chopping board:
"You should take a good rest when you are sick. What can you do alone?"
Seeing Zhang Dachuan, Wu Runyuan's eyes turned red with grievance for some reason, and she said bitterly:
"What will I eat if I don't cook? No one will cook for me."
As he spoke, he struggled to get the kitchen knife.
Zhang Dachuan smiled slightly and raised his hand hidden behind:
"Here, I brought you something to eat."
With that said, Zhang Dachuan put three heavy food bags on the plate and said proudly:
"Look, I left this just for you."
"This is the fish you raised, you have to taste it."
When cooking in the afternoon, Zhang Dachuan specially asked someone to leave a piece of fish and two side dishes in order to deliver them to Wu Runyuan in the evening.
Looking at the fish on the table, Wu Runyuan was surprised and happy. She was so moved that she couldn't help but wipe her tears quietly and said softly:
"You still have a conscience."
Zhang Dachuan smiled and said:
"Eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold."
Wu Runyuan nodded, obediently picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.
The next moment, her eyes widened in shock, and she couldn't stop looking at Zhang Dachuan.
Zhang Dachuan said with a smile:
"How's it going? Is it delicious?"
Wu Runyuan nodded fiercely, still looking at the fish on the table in disbelief, and said in shock:
"Is this really the fish I raised? Why is it so delicious?"
Zhang Dachuan said with certainty:
"Of course, I can still lie to you."
"When we were having dinner today, everyone was praising how well you raised the fish. Many people regretted not being able to see you. They also said that it would have been better if you had not been absent, and they could have thanked you properly."
Wu Runyuan looked at him in disbelief:
"Really? Don't lie to me."
You know, when she was in the village, as a widow with a "very bad reputation", many people would avoid her when they saw her. How had she ever heard a word of praise from others?
Zhang Dachuan smiled lightly and said:
"Did I lie to you? You'll find out when you go to the orchard tomorrow."
"There are two other villagers who saw that you are good at raising fish, and they even clamored to learn how to raise fish from you. I saw that they were sincere, so they agreed."
"You have to teach them well when the time comes. The fish pond will be expanded in the future, and you can't handle it alone."
Wu Runyuan looked at Zhang Dachuan and understood his painstaking efforts. He could no longer hold back the tears and burst into his eyes.
She is not a fool. How could she not know that the biggest contributor to all of this is Zhang Dachuan.
He must have used the same method as planting green dates to make the fish in the fish pond taste delicious. In the end, he turned around and took all the credit on himself.
Wu Runyuan excitedly grabbed Zhang Dachuan's hand and sobbed softly:
"Dachuan, thank you, thank you for thinking about my sister so much."
Zhang Dachuan smiled:
"Sister, why are you being polite to me? Eat the fish quickly. It won't taste good when it's cold."
Wu Runyuan wiped her tears and smiled sweetly.
She stood up, took out a bottle of wine, and said charmingly:
"Come, you drink some wine with my sister, and the two of us will eat together."
Zhang Dachuan naturally would not refuse:
"Come and stay with me until the end."
A bottle of wine, two people, three courses, looking at each other and smiling.
After a while, the wine was gone, the fish was gone, and people were drunk.
…
When I woke up the next day, it was already sunrise.
By the time Zhang Dachuan drove his pickup truck to deliver fruits to the supermarket, it was already noon.
Zhang Dachuan walked into the supermarket and was surprised not to see Su Yun, so he asked Xu Cui:
"Where's Mr. Su? Why isn't he here?"
Xu Cui smiled and replied:
"Mr. Su went to pick up Yinyin today. Mother and daughter made an appointment to have dinner together at noon."
Zhang Dachuan said "Oh" and didn't say much. He just pictured Su Yun and Guo Yinyin walking together in his mind.
With Su Yun's youth and beauty, the two of them looked more like a pair of sisters when they walked together.
At this time, Wu Wankui walked over hesitantly and said to Zhang Dachuan with a frown on his face:
"Boss Zhang, Mr. Su told me before he left that if you come, please go to the lounge and wait for a while."
After hearing this, Xu Cui immediately asked doubtfully:
"Did Mr. Su say that?"
Wu Wankui nodded:
"Well, Mr. Su said that she wants to re-set the price for Xiushan peaches and green dates."
Zhang Dachuan heard this. Although he was confused, he nodded and went to the lounge.
Soon after, Su Yun returned to the supermarket with a disappointed look on her face.
Seeing this, Xu Cui asked with concern:
"Mr. Su, why are you back so early today? Aren't you going to pick up Yin Yin?"
Su Yun sighed and shook her head:
"No one was picked up."
With that said, she walked to the lounge in despair, whispering to herself:
"This kid, we clearly agreed to have dinner together, is he still angry about what happened that day?"
Today is Guo Yinyin's birthday. Every year on this day, no matter how busy Su Yun is, she will take time to celebrate Guo Yinyin's birthday and have a big meal.
But unfortunately, no matter how Su Yun called at noon today, Guo Yinyin didn't answer.
Looking at Su Yun's lost back, a sneer flashed in Wu Wankui's eyes.
Everything is going smoothly.
