Chapter 250: Planning to Open a Stall

The person who was the most confused and helpless was Liu Jiaying. Earlier, Doctor Zhang told her that there were a few men staying there.

However, when the burly men with bare chests and a towel around their necks came in with hoes and shovels, she was shocked.

There were two reasons for her shock. One was that they looked fierce and scary, and Liu Jiaying was a well-protected child. She was ignorant of the world and could not adapt to the sudden appearance of outsiders.

Secondly, a man and a woman would sit at different tables after they were seven years old. Many young ladies of large families did not even step out of their doors after seven. They even had to avoid meeting men in their own families as much as possible.

Although Liu Jiaying didn’t coop herself up at home, she would be accompanied by her brother or servants whenever she went out. Therefore, she rarely came into contact with other men.

Now that she suddenly saw so many tall and strong men in her friend’s house, she was a little overwhelmed.

Liu Jiaying nervously grabbed Lin Yuelan’s hand and whispered to her, “Yuelan, who are they? They look so fierce.” At Lin Yuelan’s request, Liu Jiaying changed the way she called Lin Yuelan from sister Yuelan to Yuelan.

To be honest, she wanted to ask Lin Yuelan if it was appropriate for them to live with her. However, she didn’t know how to because this was Lin Yuelan’s private matter.

Lin Yuelan said to Liu Jiaying indifferently, “they are just my friends.” She didn’t introduce them because there was no need. They were there as her friends.

Zhou Wencai secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Yuelan. ‘No matter what, this person is here as Miss Lin’s friend. I shouldn’t ask about things I shouldn’t.’

Therefore, he treated everything as normal. That was what a wise person would do!

Lin Yuelan glanced at Zhou Wencai from the corner of her eye. Seeing that he seemed to heave a sigh of relief, the corners of her lips curled up. She was satisfied with Zhou Wencai’s ability to adapt to the situation.

However, when she saw Jiang Zhennan’s masked face, she frowned again. She had to make him remove the mask or everyone who came to her home in the future would suspect his true identity. Then, the news of his existence might travel to that person’s ears. But to do that, she had to remove the scar on his face first.

Jiang Zhennan suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He wondered who was having designs on him.

Liu Jiaying listened to Lin Yuelan’s introduction, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

“Hmm. What’s that fragrant smell?” Liu Jiaying didn’t know what to say, so she changed the subject. She turned in the direction of the fragrance…

“Brother Guo, you’re too unkind.” Little Six took a pair of chopsticks and came to Guo Bing, who was holding a bowl, trying to snatch the dumplings in the bowl. “There weren’t many dumplings left last night. It was you who snatched the rest of them for yourself.”

Guo Bing turned his body sideways, and Little Six missed. However, Guo Bing managed to guard against one but not the other. Before he could relax, Little Three grabbed Guo Bing’s dumpling and put it in his mouth.

Zhou Wencai and Liu Jiaying were dumbstruck as they watched this group of people fighting over the food.

Liu Jiaying looked at the crystal-clear dumplings and swallowed her saliva. She asked excitedly, “Yuelan, what are they eating? It looks delicious.” The skin of the dumpling was thin, and when the dumplings were boiled, the skin became transparent, like a crystal.

Lin Yuelan looked at the big bowl in Guo Bing’s hands and raised her eyebrows. “Those are dumplings!”

“What’s a dumpling?” Zhou Wencai asked eagerly and excitedly as he stared at the dumplings in the bowl while smelling the fragrance that was emanating from the dish. “Can I have a taste?”

The dumplings looked very delicious.

Lin Yuelan looked at Liu Jiaying, who was staring at the bowl in Guo Bing’s hand and almost drooling. Lin Yuelan gently touched her forehead and said, “They are eating the leftovers from yesterday. If you want, I can make some for you at noon.”
