Chapter 298: better than ever
Chapter 298 is better than ever
Gu Danxue's knuckles holding the handle of the knife turned white, she knew that if Aunt Hu was here. The woman in front of her would never dare to do this, the other party is clearly ordering food from someone.
During these days here, she has truly seen all kinds of life,
Just like the old lady who just spoke, her children are unfilial, and her experience can be regarded as miserable, but such a person usually likes to bully the weak and fear the strong,
She understood all these reasons, but when she faced the experience directly, she couldn't help but retreat and panic deep in her heart.
One can think of Huahua's thin face, and Mrs. Hu getting up to work before dawn. For them, a penny can buy a big steamed bun, or even a day's food.
If she retreats cowardly, then Huahua mother and daughter may have to starve tonight. And Huahua is growing her body...
Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly became firm, she raised her head and looked directly at the woman, still repeating what she said just now: "Fifteen coins a catty, no less."
The woman met her dark eyes, no matter what she said next, Gu Danxue just pretended not to hear, and just looked at her quietly.
The woman smacked her lips regretfully: "Okay! Fifteen cents is only fifteen cents. I have never seen you do business like this..."
The woman muttered while holding the oiled paper bag. Gu Danxue was dumbfounded holding the newly acquired thirty copper coins.
The first thought turned out to be that they don't need to drink porridge tonight.
…
At the corner, there were several people silently watching all this.
Shen Mingjiao withdrew her gaze, feeling a little relieved: "Although the guards have been reporting Danxue's situation, it is still incredible to see it with my own eyes."
She turned her head and asked Wen Heng: "I wonder what Dr. Wen thinks of Dan Xue's current state?"
Wen Heng smiled and said: "Wangfei's method is a crooked attack."
While speaking, he had already walked towards the stall where Gu Danxue was.
Shen Mingjiao hesitated for a while, but also followed.
When Gu Danxue saw Shen Mingjiao, his eyes lit up involuntarily, and his tense body unconsciously relaxed.
Scrupulous occasion is wrong. She just called Shen Mingjiao softly "Ma'am", and then she didn't know what to say for a while.
Shen Mingjiao took her hand, only looked at her distressedly: "You have lost a lot of weight."
Gu Danxue lowered his head and smiled, and said softly, "I'm fine."
"As long as you live comfortably. Let's not talk about this, let me introduce you, this is Wen Heng, my new master."
After all, if you directly say what Wen Heng does, I am afraid that Dan Xue will feel uncomfortable.
Gu Danxue didn't know why, but still politely blessed Fushen: "Mr. Wen is good."
Wen Heng smiled like a spring breeze: "You don't need to be too polite, little lady."
He carefully looked at the shredded cucumbers cut into thin strips on the chopping board. He couldn't help sighing: "Little lady's knife skills are really good! It's no worse than some serious chefs in big restaurants."
Because of his amiable appearance, coupled with his own temperament, he was born with a natural affinity when facing people.
It is rare for Gu Danxue to be praised so bluntly, and she is still an elder who is about the same age as her father.
She was flattered suddenly: "...It's okay,"
Wen Heng continued to look at her gently, "Are these dishes made by little ladies?"
Gu Danxue shook his head, "No."
After finishing speaking, he said, "I only know how to make cold dried shredded rice."
It was rare to be praised, and it was rare for her to relax when talking to this Mr. Wen. The two chatted for a while—mainly Wen Heng leading the topic.
Seeing that it was almost done, Wen Heng bought some cold dishes, glanced at Shen Mingjiao, said "I'll go first", and left space for the two of them.
Shen Mingjiao asked her: "Do you want to go back? Master Gu misses you very much. As for your second aunt's family, after this incident, your father will never spare them again."
Gu Danxue lowered his eyelashes, and said after a while: "I don't want to go back, at least not now."
Immediately added: "I'm fine here, better than ever."
Seeing her like this, Shen Mingjiao didn't persuade her anymore.
"Okay, as long as you feel comfortable."
Before leaving, she patted the back of Gu Danxue's hand, and said with a smile: "When you figure it out someday, come and play with me at King Su's Mansion. Then we will make an appointment with Lingling and go shopping together."
Gu Danxue's eyes were a little sore, she nodded heavily: "Definitely,"
…
Back to the palace, she couldn't wait to ask Wen Heng: "How is it?"
Wen Heng took a sip of tea: "Although the surface seems to be recovering well, there are still many problems inside."
Shen Mingjiao sat up nervously: "How should I say?"
"From the princess's narration, there are many reasons that prompted her to commit suicide, and the biggest reason is that she couldn't find the meaning of living, and at the same time, she was seriously insecure. This sounds like nonsense,
Let’s put it this way, a normal boudoir girl at her age thinks nothing more than what kind of husband she will marry in the future. But because of her own reasons and the deliberate design of the people around her, she subconsciously felt that no man would be sincerely willing to marry her, and she would never be able to marry her.
For a woman nowadays, getting married is the only thing that must be experienced, followed by her family..."
Hearing him talking endlessly, Shen Mingjiao felt a little headache: "Just tell me what to do!"
