Chapter 19 Good intentions are rewarded

Second Aunt Liu and Third Aunt Liu were both guilty and jealous.

My cousin Liu Zongyuan, however, had a happy face and kept saying hello to everyone who gathered around him.

When Jiang Chen saw this, he was in a good mood. He raised his hands to Aunt Liu, Hu Langzhong and others who were helping him speak: "Thank you all for speaking up today. If there is anything I, Jiang Chen, can do in the future, just speak up!"

"Young Master Jiang, you are so polite! You are such a handsome person, but at first glance you are not that kind of person. If we don't testify for you, why don't we have to testify for that insidious villain Lu Wenbin?"

Hu Langzhong waved his hands with a smile on his face, Jiang Chen's attitude was very helpful to him.

After a moment of hesitation, Fourth Aunt Liu said with a smile: "Brother Chen, speaking of which, Fourth Aunt really wants to ask you something in advance!"

"Fourth Aunt, please tell me."

Jiang Chen had a good impression of this dignified and upright woman and responded with a smile.

Second Aunt Liu and Third Aunt Liu said in a strange tone, "You really don't know how to be polite, huh!"

Fourth Aunt Liu frowned, ignored the two cousins-in-law, and said bluntly to Jiang Chen: "Brother Chen, you are so capable, sooner or later you will become an official and make a fortune.

Maybe one day you will have to leave this Reed Lane. Fourth Aunt hopes that when you become successful, you can let my Mingyue work as a maid for Yueniang, so that she will not have to suffer this hardship every day."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled easily, and just as he was about to speak, Aunt Liu couldn't help but said angrily: "Being an official? Huh! He goes out early and comes back late every day, just thinking about making money by storytelling. Can such a person be an official?"

"That's right, his storyteller is okay, quite official? I'm afraid your Mingyue hasn't even waited until she becomes a mother-in-law!"

After Aunt Liu compared Jiang Chen with her own son, she felt extremely unbalanced and started to curse him.

"Hmph! You've made it clear that you're jealous, why would you say such disgusting words?"

Auntie snorted arrogantly, looked at Aunt Liu and Third Aunt Liu mockingly and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you that my brother Chen got to know a great person today.

Because of this, the head of my family has been promoted to the steward of Wangyue Tower today! From now on, my brother Chen..."

"Auntie! Keep a low profile, let's keep a low profile."

Jiang Chen interrupted his aunt with a wry smile, and then said to Fourth Aunt Liu: "Fourth Aunt, what you said doesn't have to wait until I become successful and become an official.

I am planning to make three or four new outfits for everyone in the family, and I just want to invite two people. Each person costs 80 cents a day and will have enough lunch. What does Fourth Aunt think?"

Eighty cents per person per day?

Second Aunt Liu and Third Aunt Liu's eyes turned red instantly.

They worked tirelessly sewing, sewing, and washing, and only earned ten cash a day. But doing light tailoring work for Jiang Chen, they could earn eighty cash a day, and they even took care of lunch! This treatment made them crazy with envy.

Third Aunt Liu couldn't help but spoke before Fourth Aunt Liu:

"Well, Brother Chen, why don't you treat me and your second aunt to this treatment? Our tailoring skills are much better than your fourth aunt. Moreover, each of us only needs seventy cents from you a day, how about it?"

"Sixty cents is fine, as long as you have enough lunch!"

Aunt Liu also spoke expectantly.

"You...hum!"

Fourth Aunt Liu glared at the two cousins-in-law with annoyance, and not to be outdone, she lowered the price to Jiang Chen and said, "Brother Chen, Fourth Aunt doesn't want you to take care of lunch, just give me and Mingyue a hundred cents a day, that's enough!"

When Jiang Chen saw this, he was almost speechless. He shook his head at Second Aunt Liu and Third Aunt Liu and said, "You two should call me by my name from now on. If you suddenly call me Brother Chen, I will panic!"

Well……

Second Aunt Liu and Third Aunt Liu turned red with embarrassment and lowered their heads in embarrassment.

When my aunt saw it, she sneered: "It's really hard for two people to understand each other. My brother Chen is thanking his fourth aunt for taking care of Yueniang and Xiang'er in the past. Why are you two making fun of Yueniang by mocking her every day?"

"That's right! I just said bad things about Brother Chen, but now I see the benefits and immediately pounce on him. It's really... ugh! I don't know what to say to you even though we are related to each other!"

A group of women echoed the accusation.



Seeing this, Jiang Chen secretly shook his head and said to Fourth Aunt Liu: "Fourth Aunt, it is right for relatives to understand each other clearly, but if you calculate too clearly, there will be divisions.

Just do as I say, if your fourth aunt thinks it’s okay, you can just bring your cousin over tomorrow.”

"Then...then thank you Brother Chen! We will definitely help you take good care of Yueniang."

Aunt Liu's face was full of excitement, and Liu Mingyue, who was huddled behind her, was also very happy.

The women who were close to her were very happy for the two of them, and said with a smile, "Your kindness is well rewarded!"

"That's right! You two together will earn more than ordinary men in the future, and Yuan Cheng doesn't have to work so hard at a young age!"

"..."

Amid everyone's envy and congratulations, Aunt Liu and Third Aunt Liu bowed their heads and walked away with eyes full of disappointment.

Jiang Chen waved to the semi-vegetative Wang Baozhang who was lying in the tavern and happily spitting bubbles, and walked towards Liu Yueniang who was behind the crowd with a smile on his face.



But Liu Yueniang didn't wait for Jiang Chen, turned around and walked quickly towards home.

Although she came to watch because she was worried, she didn't want to talk to the rogue husband who took pleasure in teasing his wife.

Jiang Chen touched his nose awkwardly, and while admiring Liu Yueniang's tall and graceful figure, he followed her back home.

Just when I was about to do something, my cousin's family walked into the courtyard talking and laughing.

Jiang Chen had no choice but to coax Liu Yueniang who was sitting in the courtyard: "Madam, I have something to say to you, let's go inside and talk."

I believe you as a ghost!

Liu Yueniang started doing embroidery leisurely and pretended not to hear.

Well--

It’s not easy to lie!

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly, sat down next to Liu Yueniang, looked at her embroidery and asked: "Madam, are you embroidering quails? It's so beautiful!"

Well……

quail?

Liu Yueniang was so angry that her eyes twitched, she gritted her teeth and had the urge to stab Jiang Chen.

But the little girl Xiang'er couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile sweetly: "Uncle, those are mandarin ducks, not quails."

"Really? This lady is so amazing, she can actually embroider a mandarin duck into the shape of a quail!" Jiang Chen smiled evilly and continued to tease Liu Yueniang.

Liu Yueniang couldn't help it this time. She put on a pretty face and was about to speak when Liu Mingjie suddenly hugged her and said:

"Cousin, I'm afraid that I will enter the palace soon, and I don't know how many times I will see you again in the future. I really miss you!"

"Huh? Cousin, are you going to enter the palace?"

Liu Yueniang and Xiang'er both looked at Liu Mingjie with reluctance and surprise.

"It should be soon!"

As Liu Mingjie spoke, he looked at Jiang Chen with a fawning look and said, "My cousin has met Yang Tiju, a popular figure among the current officials, and he said that he would ask Yang Tiju for help!"

"Really? You actually met that kind of person? Will he help his cousin enter the palace?"

Liu Yueniang and Xiang'er turned their heads to look at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

At this moment, they finally understood why the people from the Inspection Department suddenly appeared to help.
