This Life, I'm Raising the Right Man

Su Yaoguang was busy. Zhang Zhaodi shouted from the back, ”Daughter, Boss Jiang is here.”

Su Yaoguang looked up and saw Jiang Ziqian had brought a large amount of food and various clothes again.

”Boss Su, I heard someone calling for help while going up the mountain earlier, rescued a girl from the cesspool, do you know her?” Jiang Ziqian said.

Su Yaoguang followed the direction Jiang Ziqian pointed and saw Jiang Yihuan wrapped in old clothes.

Jiang Yihuan clearly knew she couldn’t face anyone with her current state, covering her face and avoiding Su Yaoguang’s gaze.

But, a living person like this, unless she nuzzles into the ground, how could she not be seen?

She waved to the little monk beside her, murmured a few words pointing not far away.

The little monk ran swiftly.

”I know her.” Su Yaoguang said with a smile, ”I went to notify her family, they’ll come to pick her up shortly.”

Jiang Ziqian shook his fan, his gentle face full of a mischievous air: ”Boss Su, your current expression really scares me, feels you’re like a swindler, planning to sell someone off.”

”No worries, Boss Jiang, you being such a good friend, I’d definitely keep, won’t sell you.”

Xiao Yanci hurriedly came over, sweating profusely, gasping for breath when he arrived.

”Where’s Huan’er?” Xiao Yanci asked.

Su Yaoguang pointed at the hiding Jiang Yihuan and said, ”Look, over there, she fell into the water pit.”

”Huan’er, are you okay?” Xiao Yanci hadn’t clearly seen Jiang Yihuan yet, only saw the silhouette pointed by Su Yaoguang, and dashed over.

He ran too fast, already weak, and couldn’t stop. When his nose sensed something was wrong and wanted to halt, it was too late, he lunged forward, hugging Jiang Yihuan.

Jiang Yihuan was wrapped in some man’s old clothes. Judging by the fabric, definitely not Jiang Ziqian’s, as this refined restaurant owner paid great attention to image, wouldn’t let his clothes be in bad shape.

Jiang Yihuan being hugged finally showed her little face, looking aggrievedly at Xiao Yanci: ”Brother Xiao, I accidentally fell into...”

”Ugh...” Xiao Yanci turned and started vomiting.

Jiang Yihuan’s face still had excrement on it.

”Ugh...”

Jiang Yihuan’s face changed drastically, burst into tears: ”Brother Xiao, you dislike me... sob... I fell into the sewage for picking greens to make porridge for you, yet you dislike me.”

”No... ugh... I don’t... ugh...” Xiao Yanci’s mouth was firm, but his body was honest.

”Boss Jiang, this is her family, since handed over to them, no need to worry about other matters.” Su Yaoguang said, ”Let’s go, we’ll talk over there.”

”Don’t leave... get some water... ugh...” Xiao Yanci wanted Su Yaoguang to send someone to fetch water for Jiang Yihuan to wash, but everyone left, ignoring them.

Jiang Ziqian glanced back at the two, said to Su Yaoguang, ”Boss Su, do you really dislike those two?”

”Why do you say that?”

”You’re always kind-hearted, but facing those two, you only watched the show, didn’t intend to help. Seeing how others look at them, their eyes are cold and unfriendly.”

”Boss Jiang, there’s a kind of person in this world called a white-eyed wolf, no matter how much you do for them, they aren’t grateful, instead think it’s due. Those two happen to be such.”

Jiang Ziqian nodded, ”I understand now.”

Su Yaoguang turned back to the little monk and said, ”Send a few people to guard the spring by the mountain, I’m worried that Jiang Yihuan might go directly there to bathe, that spring is what we use to drink.”

Benefactor Su is right, I’ll take a few senior brothers to guard now.” The little monk heard and ran off.

Zhou Wangshu hurried back with a carriage. He had sent a few recovered villagers down the mountain, also went to the government office to inquire, confirmed no new patients today, then bought some pastries Su Yaoguang liked and returned.

Zhang Pandi saw him return and waved at him, ”Wang Shu, come here quick.”

Zhou Wangshu approached, handed Zhang Pandi a package of pastries: ”Second Aunt, you smelled the aroma, right? Look, this package is for you and cousin Chunni.”

Zhang Pandi took the pastries and said with a smile, ”You’re really considerate, but Second Aunt wasn’t wanting the pastries you bought, just wanted to tell you, Boss Jiang went up the mountain again.”

”If he went up, he went up!” Zhou Wangshu was indifferent.

Zhang Pandi pointed at the two in the distance.

”Do they look fitting together standing there?”

Zhou Wangshu looked at Su Yaoguang and Jiang Ziqian.

When Su Yaoguang spoke to Jiang Ziqian, both had smiles on their faces. Her eyes showed admiration, like looking up to a strong person, but towards him, it was a brotherly look.

Even Zhang Pandi, a failure in marriage, could see the odd atmosphere between Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu. She occasionally teased Zhou Wangshu, much like teasing a child rather than a couple.

Zhou Wangshu stuffed the other three pastry packages to Zhang Pandi, saying, ”Second Aunt, this one is for mom, this for aunt and uncle, this is for Jiang Jing, could you distribute them for me?”

He took the remaining two packages and walked towards Su Yaoguang.

At this moment, Jiang Ziqian took a few oiled paper packages from a nearby follower and said to Su Yaoguang, ”These are our restaurant’s new items, Boss Su should try and give us some feedback.”

”What’s this? Why do I smell meat?”

Su Yaoguang opened the package and saw inside were finely made pastries.

”These are pastries, but savory, with meat inside, try it, if you like, I’ll treat you at the restaurant when you return down the mountain.”

”I definitely won’t be polite then.” Su Yaoguang collected them, ”Thanks, Boss Jiang.”

”Boss Su said we’re friends, no need for formalities for little things like this.”

Jiang Ziqian saw Zhou Wangshu approach, nodded with a smile, ”Brother Zhou.”

Zhou Wangshu grunted, snatched the pastries from Su Yaoguang’s hands, ”Thank you, Boss Jiang. Luckily I like savory ones, those sweet pastries are too cloying.”

After saying, he stuffed his bought pastries into Su Yaoguang’s hands.

”You like sweets, these are for you.”

”How rude, give them back.” Su Yaoguang tried to grab them, but couldn’t reach Zhou Wangshu, even jumping couldn’t get the pastries.

Jiang Ziqian laughed watching the two tussle, ”I’ll take my leave now.”

”Safe travels, Boss Jiang.” Su Yaoguang stopped to say to Jiang Ziqian.

As Jiang Ziqian turned away, Su Yaoguang tried again to grab the pastries, Zhou Wangshu pinched a piece and popped it into his mouth.

”Cough, cough...” He choked.

Seeing this, Su Yaoguang quickly patted his back, ”If you want to eat, just eat, I won’t really snatch it, quickly spit it out.”
