Abandoned Wife Headed Home: Bringing Fubao to Farming

Chapter 35 Are you here to fight the autumn wind too?

Zhou Songxia put her hands on her hips and glared at Donglai: "Hey, can you talk, you little boy? We came here with good intentions to invite your boss to dinner, why are you pushing him away?"

"Cousin, you go outside and wait for me!"

This time, Zhou Miaoling not only spoke more emphatically, but also secretly pushed Zhou Songxia.

Zhou Songxia finally realized something, shut her mouth in embarrassment, and reluctantly left the lobby.

Zhou Miaoling got up gracefully, and said to Shen Chenxing with a face full of shame: "My cousin is outspoken and doesn't speak well. I will apologize to Boss Shen for her. When I go back, I will definitely say good things about her."

Shen Chenxing calmed down a little, and smiled faintly at Zhou Miaoling, "Don't worry, I won't be as knowledgeable as her."

Zhou Miaoling nodded, still unwilling to test: "Then tonight's family banquet, can Mr. Shen's family show respect?"

Shen Chenxing had already stood up, "I still have herbs to sort out, come east and send Miss Zhou to me."

Donglai came over immediately, his attitude towards Zhou Miaoling was still different from his attitude towards Zhou Songxia.

"Miss Zhou, please."

Looking at Shen Chenxing's back, Zhou Miaoling was extremely disappointed, but she still turned around and smiled sweetly at Donglai, "Then I will have to trouble Brother Donglai."

Donglai sent Zhou Miaoling to the gate of Huichun Hall. Zhou Miaoling took Donglai's hand and stuffed a handful of copper coins into his hand.

Dong Lai was stunned, and wanted to push it back.

Zhou Miaoling smiled and winked at him: "I'll buy you something to eat, take it!"

After saying this, Zhou Miaoling ran away.

……

When Donglai returned to the lobby, Shen Chenxing was continuing to organize the herbs.

Donglai came over to clean up Zhou Miaoling's and the others' tea bowls, turning his head to peek at Shen Chenxing from time to time, hesitating to speak several times.

"Say what you want to say, be sneaky, and be careful not to break the teacup."

Shen Chenxing seemed to have eyes behind him, and Donglai blushed suddenly.

But he also faltered and asked out the confusion in his heart: "Shen Dong's family, why don't you go to Zhou's for dinner? Wouldn't it be good to have a good relationship?"

Shen Chenxing: "That's not necessary."

"But the boss, although the Zhou family was a small family in the town, but I found out that the Zhou family's in-laws, the Chen family, are a wealthy family in the town, and several shops on the East Street are Chen's. It is said that the business has gone to the county town.”

"Dong Lai, what exactly do you want to express?"

Donglai put down the tea bowl in his hand and ran to Shen Chenxing: "I mean, if we make friends with the Chen family through the Zhou family, maybe we can transfer money to turn around the shop!"

"As for that Miss Zhou Miaoling, even a blind person can tell that she likes you, my boss."

Shen Chenxing's eyes turned cold, and he looked at Donglai: "A gentleman does something and doesn't. I, Shen Chenxing, do things openly. Even if I don't like Miss Zhou's behavior, I will never deceive her Use emotional means to achieve your goals!"

Dong Lai was in a hurry: "Master, this is not asking you to cheat, I just need you to perfunctory her a few words, and when you can borrow money to get over the current difficulty, won't you be fine?"

Shen Chenxing lowered his face and remained silent.

Dong Lai boldly went on to say: "It's fine if you are stubborn and refuse to admit your mistakes to the master, but now you don't want to give in to Miss Zhou's hypocrisy, so you just stick to it alone.

Apart from these unsold medicinal herbs, we only have five taels of silver on hand.
And the end of this month is the day to pay the rent, a full 30 taels of snowflake silver..."

"Enough!" Shen Chenxing's face was as cold as ice.

He looked at Donglai without saying a word.

Dong Lai was shocked, but he was so wronged that his eyes turned red.

"I'm doing it for your own good!" After saying this, Dong Lai ran out of the lobby angrily.

Shen Chenxing frowned, turned his back, and continued to arrange the herbs, but the movements of his hands were not as smooth as before.

He knew that Donglai followed him all the way, suffered a lot, and received a lot of stares.

However, Shen Chenxing could recognize some mistakes.

Some, but they can't even admit it to death!

He would rather struggle outside than go back and kneel down to the old master Shen whom he called 'father'!

……

When Shen Ying'er found Huichun Hall, she saw the little servant Donglai squatting at the door wiping tears.

She was slightly surprised.

"Brother Donglai, are you at Dong's house?"

Donglai heard the voice, raised his head, and saw that the person standing in front of him was Shen Yinger.

Dong Lai's complexion suddenly changed.

When he realized something, he jumped up immediately, stretched his arms to block the door, and questioned Shen Ying'er with a vigilant look: "What are you looking for from our boss? If you borrow money, go elsewhere, we have nothing!"

Shen Yinger originally had a smile on her face, with a friendly look in her eyes.

After Dong Lai questioned her so hostilely, the smile on Shen Ying'er's face gradually faded.

But she didn't care about Donglai's rudeness and offense.

In her eyes, the 15-year-old Dong Lai is just a child who hasn't grown up, maybe he has been wronged elsewhere, and she can't afford to argue with a child.

She looked at Donglai with clear eyes, and said calmly, "I'm here to talk to your boss about something serious. If he's inside, please pass it on to me."

Donglai couldn't see the meaning of "beating the autumn wind" from Shen Ying'er. He was suspicious and was about to go back to the house to tell Shen Chenxing, but he saw that Shen Chenxing had put down his work and was rushing here.

When she saw that the person standing at the gate was really Shen Ying'er, Shen Chenxing's eyes lit up a little: "Why did the elder sister come to my spring hall this time? Hurry up, please come inside!"

Shen Ying'er nodded with a smile, and stepped into the gate of Huichun Hall.

When Shen Chenxing turned around, his eyes swept over Donglai who was beside him.

Dong Lai wanted to follow in to say hello, but when he met Shen Chenxing's sharp eyes, he was stunned.

In the next second, he shrank his feet back in embarrassment.

Like a child who has done something wrong, he squatted back to the gate pitifully.

In the hall, Shen Chenxing made tea for Shen Ying'er himself, and took a few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and put them on the table.

But she saw that Shen Ying'er was not sitting at the table, but was standing in front of the medicine drawer on the entire wall, looking up and watching carefully.

From his angle, he happened to see her focused side face and the slightly raised corners of her lips, and she nodded secretly while looking at her.

These medicinal materials that cannot be sold in the eyes of others seem to be very precious things to her.

Shen Chenxing was happy in his heart, and his tone couldn't help being a little free and easy:

"Elder Sister, do you have any medicinal materials that can be used? If so, I can give Eldest Sister some."

These medicinal herbs were collected and purchased by him from various places before the flood.

Although his medical skills are average, he still has some experience in processing and arranging medicinal herbs.

Even when flooded, his herbs were well preserved.

When Shen Ying'er heard Shen Chenxing's words, she finally shifted her eyes from the medicine drawer to his face.

"There's no need to give it away. If Mr. Shen's family is interested, we can be partners for a while!"
