It was a little different from last time. There were a few more people in Villa No. 8.
However, many of these people were arranged to come over to clean and cook, and were not guests of the host.
The main ones are the Han brothers and Mr. Bai, the same as last time.
This meal probably wasn't intended to be extravagant. It was just everyday home-cooked food, and it didn't look like there were any fancy dishes.
"Xiao Jiang, I heard from Jingjing that you are the only one in your house now. If you don't mind, you can always come here to catch up with me when you have nothing to do in the future." The person in charge chuckled, "Anyway, my Jingjing didn't have a girlfriend a while ago. Stop eating at your house, right?"
Mr. Bai smiled and said: "Xiao Jiang, the Lord in charge really favors you. In the entire Star City, there are really not many people who can be invited to the Lord's house for dinner."
To be honest, Jiang Yue really didn't like this feeling of taking advantage of others. No matter how friendly you are to the people and how kind you are, you still can't be as casual as eating at home every day. Jiang Yue really doesn't want to take advantage of this.
But he wasn't stupid either. He said with a smile: "If you have something to eat, I will come here often if nothing happens."
The Lord in charge probably just said a kind word and did not continue on this topic, but invited Jiang Yue to take a seat.
"You all should sit down."
Jiang Yue naturally couldn't sit down first. After all the elders were seated, he pulled out the chair and prepared to sit down.
"Jingjing, I haven't seen these people before coming here?"
Jiang Yue glanced at the servants coming and going in the kitchen and dining room, feeling somewhat curious.
"Oh, they are all old people from our Lao Han family who have been in our family for many years. We just moved here a few days ago, and they came here a little two days late. They are responsible for taking care of the family's food and daily life."
Jiang Yue nodded thoughtfully.
Dishes are delivered to the table one after another.
Han Jingjing sat down next to Jiang Yue and affectionately handed out bowls, chopsticks and plates to Jiang Yue.
"In a few days, my mother and my aunt will all live here, and it will be even more lively! Jiang Yue, have you seen my mother, right?"
By the way, the reading app I am using recently has many book sources, complete books, and fast updates!
Jiang Yue had actually seen him, but only briefly.
That time when Jiang Yue sent Han Jingjing home, Han Jingjing thought there was no one at home and was about to whisper to Jiang Yue at the door, but she didn't expect that the door to her home suddenly opened.
The situation at that time was somewhat embarrassing.
In Jiang Yue's memory, Han Jingjing's mother was somewhat serious in her intellectual nature, and she had obviously been tested by officialdom for a long time.
However, this was Han Jingjing's family matter, and Jiang Yue was not in a position to intervene in public.
What surprised Han Jingjing was that Jiang Yue's eyes looked towards the kitchen from time to time, and he didn't know what made him curious.
"Jiang Yue, what are you looking at?"
Jiang Yue didn't answer, his eyes followed the servants of the old Han family as they shuttled between the kitchen and the dining room.
The ruler's attention was also attracted by Jiang Yue's abnormal behavior.
"Xiao Jiang, is something wrong?"
"In charge, how many years have these people been with the old Han family?"
"As little as seven or eight years, as many as twenty or thirty years. Xiao Jiang, is there something wrong with them?"
Jiang Yue was silent and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He was just invited to dinner, so he shouldn't be making any comments about other people's affairs.
However, if this matter was not explained clearly, Jiang Yue would really not dare to eat this meal.
"Xiao Jiang, you don't have to worry. If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter. Let's seek truth from facts and don't be afraid of offending others!" The ruler noticed Jiang Yue's concerns.
"Oh, I'm so anxious. Jiang Yue, when did you become so annoying?"
"Haha, these are all old people in your family. I need to observe more before making a judgment. Otherwise, I will wrongly accuse a good person and hurt your feelings for many years. It would not be good."
Mr. Bai chuckled and smoothed things over: "How about eating first and chatting while eating? I am really hungry."
"Don't eat it yet." Jiang Yue looked at the table of food, "I'm not sure whether these meals are safe."
"What?"
Several people on the table put down their chopsticks one after another, and their expressions became extremely rich.
As they were talking here, one of the servants, who was in his fifties, was holding a rag in his hand and wiping it vigorously, his face full of grievances.
Obviously, she happened to hear what Jiang Yue said just now.
As an elderly member of the Han family, she felt very uncomfortable.
He probably felt that it was okay for Jiang Yue, an outsider, to come to his house for dinner, but he couldn't say such hurtful words.
I have been in the old Han family for twenty or thirty years, can I still harm the people of the Han family?
What does it mean to not be sure if these meals are safe?
You are an outsider, are you too secluded from outsiders and talk in a shallow way?
Is it your turn as an outsider to speak out about the relationship between the Han family and the servants?
"In charge, Fourth Master, I am an old woman with no education, and I can't say anything nice. I have stayed in the Han family for more than 20 years, and I have forgotten my own family. I have long regarded myself as a member of the Han family. I can't do it. It’s not a big deal, but I also know that doing these little things at home well is my greatest contribution to the Han family. You have eaten the food I cooked for so many years. If it wasn’t safe, I, an old woman, would have eaten it long ago. Have you been dragged to death several times?"
"Huang Ma, look, what did you say?" Han Yiming stood up quickly and comforted the old man of the Han family who looked aggrieved and shed tears.
"Fourth Master, if I have any dissatisfaction with the Han family, you can arrest me and shoot me."
"I can't, I can't. Mom Huang, don't think too much. It's not like Xiao Jiang has trouble with you. Don't get me wrong." Han Yiming explained quickly.
Han Jingjing also advised: "Mom Huang, Jiang Yue is definitely not targeting you. When you have more contact with him in the future, you will definitely know that he actually has a very good personality."
"Miss, you don't need to comfort me. I'm an old woman, so I felt aggrieved and said a few words. How dare I misunderstand anything. If you think the food is not right, we will make a new table."
Originally, Huang's mother didn't have a strong personality, and she felt aggrieved. After a few words, the Han family gave her enough face so that she could step down.
But the grievance she felt in her heart was not directed at the Han family at all. It was Jiang Yue who made her feel aggrieved.
But Jiang Yue, the person involved, seemed heartless, as if he didn't hear her words at all and didn't even glance at her.
It was as if he despised her, an old servant, from beginning to end.
This was where she felt most aggrieved.
Han Jingjing was not stupid. She saw Huang's mother looking at Jiang Yue sadly.
He quietly tugged on Jiang Yue's clothes.
Jiang Yue seemed to have just come back to his senses and smiled softly.
"Mom Huang, you are an old man of the Han family, and you are half the master. I am an uninvited guest, and there is no way I can target you."
"I can also see that you are loyal to the old Han family."
This is still an acceptable sentence.
Huang Ma's aggrieved mood suddenly improved a lot. She managed a smile and wanted to say something to smooth things over.
Jiang Yue said, "Mom Huang, please invite those two people out. I have something to ask them."
Huang Ma's face, which had turned cloudy and turned sunny, became a little ugly again.
Is this still distrust?
"Master, Fourth Master, look... what is this? Are we servants just white-eyed wolves? Are we always ready to murder the master's family?"
Han Yiming looked at Jiang Yue and saw that his expression was calm, without any panic, but he also had no intention of compromising.
I couldn't help but feel deeply embarrassed and looked at my second brother.
The second brother is in charge here, so he should make the decision.
"Huang Ma, please calm down first. Fourth Brother, go and call the two of them over. Xiao Jiang probably doesn't mean anything malicious. We might as well put our emotions aside and speak clearly! If Xiao Jiang talks nonsense, I As an elder, he will definitely criticize him."
"Dad, what are you talking about! You invited people over for lunch, and now you want to criticize them. If this is the case, I won't pass on messages for you in the future!" Han Jingjing pouted in displeasure.
The Lord in charge said with a straight face: "You girl, why are you so messy? I didn't say I would criticize Xiao Jiang now!"
While talking, Han Yiming had already called the other two servants over.
These two people have always been working for Huang Ma. They are a little younger than Huang Ma, but they have also stayed in the old Han family for many years, so they can be regarded as the old people of the Han family.
"Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal. Xiao Jiang is the owner of Villa No. 9 and has a close relationship with our Han family. He may have some questions that he needs to discuss with you."
The Lord in charge seems to have a clear mind. Generally speaking, Jiang Yue, a young man, is relatively stable. Although he can be a little impulsive at times, compared with other children of this age, he is already very stable.
With his character, he shouldn't get into trouble with a few servants for no reason.
Maybe there really is something hidden here?
The Lord in charge felt that no matter whether there was any misunderstanding here, things had to be clarified.
If something happened at home and a fire broke out in the backyard, it would be big trouble.
Jiang Yue didn't beat around the bush and stared at the youngest maid among the three.
"In charge, who is this?"
"She is Xiao Xu, she should be from Huang Ma's hometown, right?"
Huang Ma nodded: "Yes, Xiao Xu is from my hometown, and I brought him here. We are fellow villagers, and we know everything about him. If Xiao Xu has a problem, it is my problem."
Listening to this tone, Huang Ma has great trust in Xiao Xu, the kind of relationship that she dares to pat her chest to guarantee.
Jiang Yue ignored Huang Ma.
"Ms. Xu, could you please roll up your trousers and take out what you have hidden in your socks for everyone to see?"
Jiang Yue stood up, stood in front of the maid intentionally or unintentionally, and said suddenly.
The maid's face was obviously flustered: "What are you going to do? You are an outsider, why do you dominate our Han family? Command this, command that?"
"I said please, not command you. Are you feeling guilty?" Jiang Yue sneered.
"What do I feel guilty for?" the maid's voice became sharp. "I can't stand your bossy manner. Do you really think you are arrogant? This is the house of the ruler, and it's not your turn to speak. That's right. I am a servant, but I am also a servant of the head of the house! I have my own dignity. If you say to roll up my trousers, I will roll up my trousers? What do you want to do? You are humiliating us servants in the house of the head of the house, as is humiliation. What’s the difference between the old Han family?”
Not to mention, this maid is much more eloquent than Huang Ma.
At least she wasn't weak at all in terms of momentum, unlike Huang's mother, who could only shed tears when she felt wronged and couldn't say anything strong.
However, in Jiang Yue's opinion, her behavior was undoubtedly a sign of fierceness and fierceness.
"You are really sharp-tongued. If you want dignity and don't want to roll up your trousers, that's fine. This big pot of soup is served last. How about you fill a small bowl and drink it first? You only need to drink such a small bowl, I will How about I apologize to you immediately?"
Your maid's expression changed again.
"Me! I won't drink! You're going too far! I'm not a prisoner, why should you humiliate me and force me like this? If you can't stand me, at worst I'll quit my job! I'll go back to my hometown now!"
The maid stamped her feet, yelled hysterically, turned around and was about to leave in anger.
Jiang Yue sneered and shook his head, but did not stop him.
At this point, as long as the two Han brothers are not fools, they can see the problem.
On the other hand, Mother Huang suddenly grabbed the maid named Xu.
"Xiao Xu, don't leave! You are the one I brought here. If anyone wants to bully you, they are bullying me."
"Sister Huang, this matter has nothing to do with you. I don't want to implicate you."
Huang Ma shook her head resolutely: "I will drink this soup with you. Each of us will have a small bowl. If there is something wrong with the soup, I will be blind, and I will accompany you in misfortune. If there is nothing wrong with the soup, I will be considered right." One’s own conscience.”
It can be seen that Huang Ma is a person who values friendship very much. This skill can be regarded as very particular. It not only takes into account the friendship between fellow villagers, but also gives an explanation to the master's family.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Xu's face darkened and he shook off Huang Ma's arm.
"I won't drink. They are forcing prisoners. Even if I am shot, I will not accept this insult."
Huang Ma was thrown away, and her face suddenly turned extremely pale.
Jiang Yue took a step forward and stood in front of her and the maid surnamed Xu: "Huang Ma, your kindness has gone to the wrong person. You think she is a good fellow countryman of yours and knows everything about her. But what you see may not necessarily be true. You are still the kind and reliable fellow countryman you are."
As soon as Jiang Yue said this, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Especially the maid named Xu, whose face was particularly ugly, she cursed and walked away.
Jiang Yue seemed to have expected that she would run away.
He stretched out his foot a little bit, and it happened to land on her calf.
The maid surnamed Xu leaned forward and was about to fall to the ground. Suddenly, her body bounced up strangely, as if it was equipped with a spring. A syringe appeared in her hand and she stabbed Jiang Yue.
When it comes to fighting, she's far behind.
Her movements were actually fast enough, but to Jiang Yue, it seemed like she was slowing down.
Jiang Yue quickly grabbed her wrist with his palm.
With a scream, the maid's wrist was twisted and dislocated by Jiang Yue. The syringe in his hand also fell into Jiang Yue's hand like a magic trick.
Jiang Yue put the syringe in front of his nose and sniffed.
"Han Chu, you should know this stuff, right?"
"Is it cyanide?" Old Han changed his color in shock.
