Free Web NovelChapter 512: Chapter 508: Chen Jianshe Passes a Message
But for such a stubborn and difficult man to offer a favor on his own accord, Lu Yuanbin would be lying if he said he wasn’t tempted.
He was beyond tempted.
But since the matter involved his sister-in-law, Lu Yuanbin didn’t agree immediately.
"Mr. Zhang, I can only ask for you. This master... isn’t guaranteed to agree."
Of course, this "master" was a story Lu Yuanbin had concocted with his men ahead of time.
In fact, his men didn’t know where the products came from either; they all assumed he had found this person himself. Thus, Lu Yuanbin wasn’t worried in the slightest.
Zhang Tianming’s tone grew more earnest.
"As long as they’re willing to help, I can guarantee they won’t run into any trouble over this matter."
’As for owing favors, one is enough.’
Lu Yuanbin nodded. With Zhang Tianming’s assurance, he felt much more relieved.
He had one of his men find Chen JianShe, who was out shopping for New Year’s goods. He passed on the message, telling Chen JianShe to ask Gu Jiaojiao’s opinion and get back to him with a reply as soon as possible.
Chen JianShe agreed, then left with his purchases.
After returning, Chen JianShe went to find his Brother Leng and explained the whole situation. Gu Jiaojiao didn’t mind, as it wasn’t something that had to be kept secret.
However, she still looked to Leng Yuan, wanting to hear her husband’s opinion.
Leng Yuan ruffled Gu Jiaojiao’s hair and said with a smile, "Zhang Tianming is a very principled and upright man. Since he’s said as much, there definitely won’t be any problems. If you want to go, then go."
He could tell that his silly girl was interested.
Leng Yuan was always supportive and understanding of Gu Jiaojiao’s wishes.
Gu Jiaojiao immediately looked at Chen JianShe. "JianShe, when are you going to the County Town?"
Chen JianShe: ...
He hadn’t planned on going to the County Town anytime soon, but meeting Gu Jiaojiao’s gaze, Chen JianShe gave an awkward laugh. "I have to go tomorrow, actually."
"In that case, please take a message to Yuan Bin for me. Tell him I’ll go to his place in three days to take a look at Miss Zhu’s face."
Chen JianShe nodded.
"Don’t worry, Sister-in-law. I’ll be sure to pass the message along."
"We’re having stewed wild rabbit tonight. You should stay for dinner!"
Chen JianShe immediately beamed. A foodie’s world was just that simple; there was nothing a good meal couldn’t solve.
’So what if it’s a two-hour walk through the snow? No problem. It’s no problem at all.’
Strangely enough, the day after Yun Hao and Xu Wenwan’s wedding, the weather cleared up. It became an exceptionally sunny day. Moreover, when people went outside, the snow wasn’t very deep, except for in the Qingshan Team’s area, where it remained quite thick.
Everyone tacitly agreed on what this natural phenomenon meant: even the heavens didn’t approve of the marriage.
As for Yun Hao and Xu Wenwan, on their very first night of marriage, Xu Wenwan had warned Yun Hao not to be a "toad lusting after a swan," telling him she would never like him.
And that she would divorce him the first chance she got.
On this point, for a rare change, Yun Hao agreed with Xu Wenwan. He didn’t like her either. However, her calling him a "toad" and threatening divorce still stung his pride.
It was a matter of a man’s pride.
But he wasn’t the type to force himself on a woman, especially not one he detested. He immediately moved his things to another room to sleep.
The first day was fine since there were leftovers from the wedding. But by the second day, the two of them were already arguing.
They were married now, so Yun Hao waited for Xu Wenwan to cook, and Xu Wenwan waited for Yun Hao to cook.
"Are you even a woman? What kind of wife doesn’t cook after getting married?"
But Xu Wenwan wasn’t buying it. "And are you even a man? Back home with my family, I never had to do any work. Why is it that after marrying you, I suddenly have to cook for myself? Only an incompetent man would make his wife cook."
Yun Hao: ...
He knew perfectly well it was all just twisted reasoning, but he was completely unable to refute it.
In the end, Yun Hao was the one who made the meal.
