The Miracle Doctor's Two-Faced Toddler Chapter 123 - Brother Jiu's Gift

Chapter 123: Brother Jiu’s Gift

Other abandoned babies had jade pendants and secret manuals in their swaddling. At the very least, there would be a blood letter. However, there was a rotten recipe book in her father’s swaddling.

Could it be that my grandfather was a chef? Yu Wan thought seriously. Her father grew up in the Yu family, so he was a member of the Yu family. She was also a member of the Yu family. She did not care much about others.

Yu Wan returned the booklet to her uncle.

Uncle paused. “This…”

Yu Wan smiled. “Uncle, keep it. I’m not good at cooking, so it’s useless even if I take it.”

Uncle wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he kept the booklet.

At this point, Yu Feng finally stopped worrying about the fact that the Tianxiang Restaurant did not clear his father’s name. However, he had completely lost his good impression of the Tianxiang Restaurant.

“I thought they were decent people since their business is so big.” When he sent Yu Wan out, Yu Feng couldn’t help but sigh.

Yu Wan smiled and said, “Big Brother, have you never heard of it? All businessmen are profiteers.”

Yu Feng immediately straightened his back and said, “We don’t want to be profiteers!”

Yu Wan was amused by his serious expression. “Alright, alright, we won’t do it.”

But even if she wasn’t a profiteer, she couldn’t be an honest person. In this world, honest people were always at a disadvantage. However, there was no need to take these out to argue with Yu Feng. Yu Wan brought the corn buns made by her aunt back to the house.

As soon as she left, Yu Feng called his parents and Yu Song over. “By the way, I want to ask if you know that new Young Master Wan?”

Yu Song rested his chin on the table and said listlessly, “No.”

He had been recuperating in seclusion these few days and had not even left the courtyard, let alone meet the teacher in the village.

Aunt also shook her head. “Why are you suddenly asking about this? Did something happen to that Young Master Wan? I heard that he knows the county magistrate and is a very powerful person.”

Know? Aren’t you praising the county magistrate too much?

“Nothing, I was just asking.” Yu Feng originally wanted to tell his family about Yan Jiuchao’s ident.i.ty, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was better not to say it for the time being, in case they angered that second-generation heir and caused trouble for his family. That would be very worrying.

“Why did you call us over if there’s nothing?!” Yu Song rolled his eyes and returned to the room.

Yu Feng frowned. “Why has he been so angry recently?”

Aunt said indifferently, “It’s been like this since the Guo family moved here.”

“The Guo family.” Yu Feng didn’t say anything else. Even someone as calm as him didn’t really like the Guo family. Fortunately, the Guo family had been quite honest recently and didn’t continue to cause trouble.

In the next room, Guo Xianqiao had already rested, but the Guo couple was still awake.

After dinner, Guo Dayou sat on a stool to pick his teeth.

Du Jinhua untied the purse tied in her cotton s.h.i.+rt and poured out the copper coins and silver pieces, counting them one by one.

Du Jinhua suddenly thought of something and said, “Say, the Yu family is really different from before. We’ve been here for the past few days and we can eat meat every meal! It’s much better than our days at our house!”

When Aunt returned home with a lot of cured meat and braised meat, Du Jinhua guessed that the Yu family was not as poor as before. Otherwise, why would a family that could not even afford porridge bring so much meat to their maiden family’s house?

However, she did not expect that not only was the Yu family not poor, but they were even richer than their family.

“Why? Are you envious?” Guo Dayou picked his teeth and tilted his head to the side. “Sure, when our father was still alive, didn’t he always talk about Little Feng and our eldest daughter’s marriage? Old Master Yu also agreed!”

Du Jinhua rolled his eyes at him. “How can you take what they say at the table seriously!”

Guo Dayou said proudly, “If you want this marriage, I naturally have a way to make it happen.”

“No way!” Du Jinhua put the copper coins and silver pieces she had counted into her purse and tied them tightly to her body. “My daughter is so beautiful. In the future, she will be the young madam of a rich family. How can a country b.u.mpkin be worthy?!”

Guo Dayou chuckled. “They’re doing business. The entire village has been hired.”

Du Jinhua suddenly raised her voice. “You call that business? Look at what their family is selling! It’s disgusting even if they give me smelly tofu for free! I know that they just want to learn from the Luo Family to earn big money, but can they learn it? Why don’t they take a p.i.s.s and look in the mirror with that kind of behavior!”

The faces of Madam Jiang and her daughter flashed through Guo Dayou’s mind. “She’s better looking than the Luo family…”

Du Jinhua picked up a broom and threw it over!

Guo Dayou raised his hand to block her. “You woman! You’re courting death!”

“Hmph!” Du Jinhua rolled her eyes.

Guo Dayou coughed lightly and said, “Why don’t… our daughter marry into the Luo family? I think the two sons of the Luo family like our daughter.”

Du Jinhua stopped talking.

Guo Dayou’s face darkened. “What? You don’t like the Luo family either? Yue’er is already seventeen!”

Du Jinhua was too picky, which was why she delayed her daughter’s marriage. Although the girls of this dynasty did not get married as early as the previous dynasty, it was really rare for them to not be engaged after seventeen.

“Mother, is there a colored thread?” While Du Jinhua was thinking, Guo Xianyue knocked on the door.

Du Jinhua said loudly, “No,ask your aunt for it!”

Guo Xianyue paused helplessly and turned to leave.

“I just finished using mine. Wait, I’ll get Little Feng to go to your third aunt’s house to ask.” The only Guo family member that Aunt didn’t hate was probably Guo Xianyue. Just as she was about to send Yu Feng to ask for the colored thread, Guo Xianyue gently said, “There’s no need to trouble Big Brother. I’ll ask him myself.”

“Do you know which family it is?” Aunt asked worriedly.

Guo Xianyue smiled and nodded. “I know. It’s the westernmost one.”

Guo Xianyue left. Aunt had a kitchen to clean up, so she did not follow her.

On the way to Yu Wan’s house, Zhao Heng happened to return from school and b.u.mped into Guo Xianyue near the fish pond.

Zhao Heng glanced at her indifferently. He walked past without looking sideways seeing that it was an unfamiliar woman. On the other hand, Guo Xianyue was stunned. Zhao Heng had already walked far away, but she could not help but turn around.

Soon, she realized that she had lost her composure. She looked around and saw that there was no one around. She heaved a sigh of relief and went to Yu Wan’s house. However, she did not know what luck she had today. Just as she was about to reach Yu Wan’s door, she saw another man.

The man was tall and wore a silver cloak. Under the night sky, he was like a cold moonlight.

If Zhao Heng’s appearance was stunning, then the person in front of her was simply shocking. This was not like the saying where the beauty in the high places is like jade, while the handsome young man is unmatched in the world. This person only existed in the heavens. How many times could one see him in the mortal world?

Guo Xianyue’s face flushed red, and even her breathing stopped.

Yu Wan came out with a basin of Little Bruiser’s bath water. When she looked up, she saw Guo Xianyue not far away. Guo Xianyue was coming in this direction, so she should be going to their house.

Yu Wan poured away the bath water and greeted, “Cousin Yue.”

Guo Xianyue did not hear her.

Yu Wan blinked strangely and called out twice.

Guo Xianyue finally came back to her senses. She was embarra.s.sed and shy, and her face was so red that it could drip blood. She lowered her head and walked forward. “Cousin.”

Yu Wan looked at her red face. “Are you very hot?”

Guo Xianyue pressed the back of her cold hand against her face. She lowered her eyes and said, “Yes… yes, I walked over and got warm.”

Yu Wan nodded. Just as she was about to ask her if there was anything, “Young Master Wan: from next door suddenly said, “Come over.”

There was no room for rejection, but the voice was really pleasant, low and magnetic.

Guo Xianyue felt her heart skip a beat again. Was… was he calling her? Just as this thought flashed through her mind, she saw Yu Wan put down the wooden basin and walk over.

“What?” Yu Wan looked up at Yan Jiuchao, who was a head taller than her.

Yan Jiuchao handed the brocade box to her.

“What’s this?”

“Hmph.” Yan Jiuchao couldn’t be bothered with her. He snorted and entered the house, even slamming the door behind him.

Yes, slammed, and the sound was very loud!

The corners of Yu Wan’s mouth twitched as she looked at the door that was only an inch away from denting her nose. What was wrong with this little lunatic? Forget it, forget it. She still owed him Shopkeeper Cui’s life. She would endure it, she would endure it!

Yu Wan carried the brocade box back into the room. “Cousin, come in and sit.”

Guo Xianyue glanced at the closed door next door and then at the brocade box in Yu Wan’s hand. “Who was that person just now? Why… was he so rude?”

“He’s… Young Master Wan, the new teacher.” Yu Wan paused and said, “He has a bad temper. Don’t provoke him.”

“Ah.” Guo Xianyue nodded thoughtfully. Her gaze fell on the brocade box that Yan Jiuchao handed to Yu Wan and she opened her mouth.

“Cousin, why are you looking for me?” Yu Wan placed the brocade box on the table and turned to make a cup of tea for Guo Xianyue.

“Thank you, Cousin.” Guo Xianyue took the teacup and looked away. She said embarra.s.sedly, “I’m here to borrow some colored thread from you.”

“Colored thread. What color do you want?” Yu Wan asked.

“Do you have red and silver?” Guo Xianyue asked softly.

“Yes, I’ll go get it.” Yu Wan entered the house to look for the colored thread.

The siblings’ conversation could be heard from inside.

“Sis, Sis! Do we have guests?”

“Your cousin Yue is here. Quickly put on your clothes.”

“Aiya, these pants are too tight! I can’t lift them!”

“You’ve gained weight. I made you pants last month.”

“No, no, no! I’m not fat!”

Guo Xianyue listened to the siblings’ conversation and suddenly felt a little envious. She and her sister could not be so close. However, she was not envious for long before her gaze was attracted by the brocade box on the table again.
