Chapter 236 - 236 Festivals
236 Festivals
“Can I?”
Qian Congren’s chubby eyes, which were only left with two slits, widened slightly. He looked at the other party with bright eyes. “Of course, I’m free all day. I stay at home most of the time and have nothing to do. I rely on collecting rent to make a living.”
He was a landlord after all.
“Then, when Madam Qin is better, I’ll get her to come and invite you personally.”
“Good, good, good!”
Qian Congren nodded heavily, his eyes drifting to Madam Qin from time to time. Seeing that she did not refuse, he could not help but laugh.
Madam Qin’s original sad mood was dispelled a lot, and she couldn’t help but glare at him when he laughed.
These two people’s intentions were very clear, and Yue Jiaojiao was already prepared to wait for the Lin family’s master to receive the news of her death from Congren and leave before she would properly seek Madam Qin’s opinion.
If she and Qian Congren shared a common heart, she would ask Madam Qin to treat Willow Village as her maiden home and send her off to get married!
The atmosphere quieted down for a moment. Madam Qin looked at Qian Congren and said gently, “Then… we’ll be leaving now.”
“Hey, get well soon.”
“I will.”
Yue Jiaojiao had already dragged Zhao Zhan out of the courtyard and stood outside the door, giving the two of them some space to talk.
Zhao Zhan could tell what she was thinking at a glance and couldn’t help but hold her hand tightly. “If Qian Conreng’s feelings for Madam Qin are firm, he definitely would do something.”
“My lady, I am ready.”
Madam Qin walked out of the door with her walking stick. Qian Congren did not follow.
“Alright.”
Yue Jiaojiao then brought Madam Qin back to Willow Village.
A few days after the New Year, when Carpenter Chen came to settle her share of the money, Yue Jiaojiao asked him to make a few more beds.
Doctor Sun and Sun Jiyan each had a room in the front hall. Madam Qin was a woman, after all, so she accompanied Yue Jiaojiao to the backyard.
Yue Jiaojiao gave her the recipe for the brine so that she could keep an eye on the tofu-making business in the warehouse when she realized that Madam Qin couldn’t stay idle all day. This would also allow Zhao Zhan to free up his hands and do something else.
“My lady, there’s a Lantern Festival in town tomorrow. Do you wish to go with Sir Zhan?”
After spending a few days with Zhao Zhan, Madam Qin’s worries for him completely disappeared.
She had lived for so long, but she had never seen a man who doted on his wife so much, especially when Zhao Zhan knew how to do things and was extremely hardworking.
Even if his current situation was slightly worse, given time, his achievements would definitely be limitless.
“A Lantern Festival?” Yue Jiaojiao put down the things in her hand and was eager to find out more. “If you didn’t remind me, I wouldn’t have remembered this.”
“Zhao Zhan,” Yue Jiaojiao stood up and happily walked in front of Zhao Zhan, “Is the Lantern Festival in Wangshan Town interesting? I want to take a look.”
“I was just about to tell you about it,” Zhao Zhan held her in his arms and said softly, “If you’re interested, how about we go to Huai County tomorrow to see the lanterns? Wangshan is a small place, so there’s nothing much to see. I’ve asked Fang Tianliu about it. Huai County is more lively, and Fang Tianliu also wants to bring Li Xiangjun with us.”
“My lady, Sir Zhao is right. It’ll be better to go to Huai County. They would have gone straight to Wangshan Town. We can avoid them if we go to Huai County.”
Zhao Zhan immediately nodded in agreement. “I think so too.”
“Alright, then let’s go to Huai County!”
Doctor Sun and Madam Qin were unwilling to join the fun with the young people because Yue Jiaojiao and Zhao Zhan first went to the mountain gaze to meet up with Fang Tianliu and Li Xiangjun.
