Chapter 5 The Proud Lady

"Sell cousin and Xiang'er?"

"Is it so miserable?"

A group of young ladies looked at Xiang'er and Liu Yueniang with sympathy in their eyes.

"Of course! My brother is a scholar, and what he says will definitely be correct!"

Aunt Liu's daughter Liu Minghui strongly supports her brother's views.

When Xiang'er heard this, her face turned pale with fright, and she was filled with worry.

Liu Yueniang also lowered her head with a miserable face, endured the discomfort in her waist, and started scrubbing with all her strength.

I don't know how much time passed, but Liu Minghui suddenly let out a low cry: "Huh? What a handsome little scholar! Whose family does he belong to? Why did he come to us?"

Um?

A handsome little scholar?

Liu Yueniang and the other girls looked sideways, and saw Jiang Chen with a brand new and elegant band on his head, waving a folding fan in his hand, walking over gracefully like a handsome young man;

Not far behind him was his uncle Liu Zongyuan, who was carrying two bags on his shoulders, a basket in his left hand, and a wine flask in his right hand. He was drinking as he walked, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

Um?

After being out all day, you earned a belt and a broken fan?

Liu Yueniang's face was full of disappointment, she turned sideways angrily and rubbed the clothes in her hands fiercely.

The aunt and Liu Mingjie greeted Liu Zongyuan with joy on their faces.

"Master, why are you back so early? And you bought so many good things? Did you meet a noble person to reward me?"

My aunt asked with a smile while checking things.

Just as his cousin was about to explain, Liu Mingjie, who opened the basket, suddenly exclaimed:

"Oh my god! Candied fruits, meat cakes...and my favorite snowflake cake! Dad, you are so kind to me. I will definitely be filial to you when I become a noble person in the future!"

While talking, Liu Mingjie picked up a piece of ice cream and quickly stuffed it into his mouth.

Jiang Chen looked at her dreamy and hazy peerless face behind the fence, and said with a smile on his face: "Cousin, in fact, it's not your cousin who treats you well, but your brother. Come, have another meat pie to make up for it!"

As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a meat pie.

"Pooh!"

Liu Mingjie spat and turned away proudly and disgustedly.

The aunt even grabbed the meat pie and stared at Jiang Chen with alert eyes: "You still want to snatch it? How can you eat such a precious thing?

I advise you to save some face for Yueniang, if you don’t want to be a human being, she still needs to be a human being!"

After saying that, she looked at her cousin happily and sweetly, and took a bite of the meat pie happily.

Well……

When Liu Yueniang and Xiang'er heard this, they lowered their heads deeply, feeling extremely embarrassed.

And at the moment when they lowered their heads, the cousin suddenly shouted to his aunt who looked affectionate:

"shut up!

Brother Chen bought this for Yueniang and Xiang'er. How can you eat it? Shut up!"

Well--

My aunt rolled her eyes and almost choked to death!

Liu Mingjie looked at the half-eaten flower cake and was immediately embarrassed!

Liu Yueniang, who almost made a big hole in her clothes, suddenly turned around!

The little girl Xiang'er's lost almond eyes were once again filled with hope!

The four girls all looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.



When Jiang Chen saw this, he raised his eyebrows with a disgusting look on his face.

He found that his aunt was embarrassed and reluctant to put the meat pie back after taking a bite, and said generously: "Aunt, you have already bitten it anyway, let's eat it!"

"Haha, okay, okay, Brother Chen is still sensible."

With a look of relief on her face, her aunt put the meat pie into her mouth again, and then she heard Jiang Chen say: "Just pay me one tomorrow!"

"..."

My aunt's pretty face, which still retains her charming charm, turned dark instantly!

Liu Mingjie was so angry that his eyebrows stood up, he glared at Jiang Chen and said angrily: "How dare you disrespect my mother? Just wait for me, wait for me someday..."

Just when she was about to say harsh words, Jiang Chen stuffed a meat pie over her:

"Cousin, take it! Now is the critical moment for you to grow. You must keep up with your nutrition, otherwise your growth will be affected!"

After saying that, Jiang Chen picked up the basket and walked towards Liu Yueniang and Xiang'er by the river.

Well……

Liu Mingjie's pretty face turned red and fell silent!

The aunt looked depressed and couldn't help but poke her little head and cursed: "Damn girl, I bought you with just a piece of meat pie? I really loved you in vain!"

After scolding Liu Mingjie, her aunt stared at her cousin with resentment and asked angrily: "These things must be worth at least half a pound, where did he get so much money?"

"Of course it's a profit! Let me tell you, our Brother Chen is very capable..."

As my cousin said this with a showy face, Aunt Liu, who had ulterior motives, couldn't help but interjected angrily:

"Hey, how capable are you? How can you make half a pound of money in one day? Let me see, he probably sold Yueniang and Xiang'er!"

"That's right! That must be the case!"

Aunt Liu nodded in agreement and said with a showy face:

"My nephew is the most profitable young man in Reed Alley. He only earns three hundred yuan a day. Is he more capable than my nephew? That really kills me, I don't believe it!"

"snort!

Your nephew is just a chicken butcher, how can he be called capable?"

The cousin looked disdainful, raised his head with pride and said:

"Let me tell you, my nephew is now a young gentleman of Jiuzhai Bookstore. He was invited to tell stories at Wangyue Tower. He made nearly a fortune from just two lectures. The wine he bought for me was all high-quality Daqu, which cost 40 cents per catty.

Does your nephew deserve to be compared with him? He is so shameless!"

"What?"

"He became Mr. Book Club at such a young age?"

Aunt Liu was so angry that her face turned red;

Aunt Liu opened her mouth wide in surprise.

"Nearly a pound of money in one day? Then doesn't he have to make thirty pounds of money in a month?"

"Oh my God! So many?"

The little ladies were shocked!

Auntie and Liu Mingjie are no longer calm!

Liu Yueniang and the little girl Xiang'er were surprised and laughed inexplicably!

Everyone looked at Jiang Chen with disbelief.



But Jiang Chen was not proud. Instead, he put one hand behind his back, looked up to the sky in the setting sun and sighed:

"I didn't expect that my dignified Jiang Chen would be reduced to such a state! I would actually give up my pride and sell my talent for a trivial thing!

Oh! I’m so ashamed! I’m so ashamed!”

As he said this, he turned to the girls and cupped his hands.

Well--

You make so much money in one day, are you still ashamed?

Everyone looked up with expressions on their faces, and they were immediately messed up by the wind!

Liu Minghui and other young ladies are even more excited to see little stars in their eyes!

Even the extremely arrogant Liu Mingjie couldn't help but feel a little respect for Jiang Chen.

However, Liu Yueniang's mouth twitched and her eyes rolled wildly.

After last night's painful experience, she already knew what kind of character this husband was, and she would not be fooled by him at all.

But the little girl Xiang'er who she had warned could not control herself, and said to Jiang Chen with red eyes:

"Uncle, you actually sold your talents in order to buy delicious food for me and my lady. You are so kind to us! Even if you sell Xiang'er in the future, Xiang'er will not blame you!"
