Chapter 3990: Suspicion

This isn't flattery, but sincere praise.When Yang Ruqing and Li Da'er arrived at the Tianxiang Building in Huguang County this morning,Looking at this towering two-story building, the familiar shop si..."Auntie, you're awake I went out for a walk earlier and brought back some pastries for you and Wuyou. Try them."

When Zhang Shulian returned to the backyard of Tianxiang Building, she happened to see Yang Ruqing standing in the yard, drying her clothes.

She hurried over here and handed me a bag of snacks she was holding.

The girl she was talking about, Wuyou younger sister, was none other than Luo Baobei.

The name "baby" is her nickname, used only by those close to her.

Outside, she had her own well-known name, her given name was Luo Wuyou, hoping for a life free from worry and anxiety.

"I heard that these snacks are made by the famous pastry shop in Qingshan County. Wuyu must like them," Zhang Shuilian said, offering the snacks to Yang Ruqing as if they were treasures.

Yang Ruqing wiped her slightly damp hands on her body and then accepted the box of snacks, thanking Zhang Shuilian.

Zhang Shui Lian waved her hand dismissively and said, "Uncle and aunt have helped us so much. Buying two boxes of pastries for Wuyou sister is only right."

Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded.

Chang Shui-lian said, "That aunt, you're busy first. I'm going back to the house to find Daqiu."

"Good!" Yang Ruqing nodded.

Looking at Zhang Shuilin's leaving figure, Yang Ruoqing's eyes flashed a hint of doubt.

Today's Zhang Shuilian feels distinctly different from last night's. Last night, Zhang Shuilian looked disheartened and defeated, shrinking away from everything.

And Zhang Shuilian today, seems to be in a good mood, radiant and confident.

These are not the important points. The important point is that last night Zhang Shui Lian had no jewelry on her, but today Zhang Shui Lian has a bracelet on her wrist and a silver hairpin in her hair.

These objects definitely don't belong to Zhang Shui Lian.

She went out early this morning, probably to meet someone. She came back and then had all these pieces of jewelry.

They came from Yangzhou and were unfamiliar with the place. Their only relative here was her cousin.

But last night Zhang Shuilian cried and complained to her here, saying that her aunt and uncle borrowed their money and refused to return it. How come after going out for a while, she came back not only with her anger gone but also wearing jewelry

She gave them a few ounces of silver to go shopping, but a few ounces of silver wouldn't buy nearly that much.

The only possibility is that these ornaments were given by Zhang Shuilin's aunt.

As for why this aunt's attitude changed so drastically overnight, the best explanation is that she and her brother-in-law found out about Zhang Shulian's relationship with their side and learned about their true identities.

Thinking of this, Yang Ruqing looked at the guest room where Zhang Shuilin's laughter came from, and her face instantly turned a few degrees colder.

> Zhang Shui Lian and Daqiu's guest room.

Zhang Shulian proudly paraded the jewelry she had scraped together from her cousin Huang, waving each piece before Big Ball like a treasure. She flaunted how well she had done.

“You wouldn't believe it, Daqiu. My sister’s face was a sight to behold—red, green, white, and blue all at once! Like she had walked right out of a dye shop. She couldn’t even muster the courage to get angry,” Zhang Shuilin said. "She must have been dying inside, but she still forced a smile and kept calling me 'good niece' "

Hearing this, Dahu also felt very excited.

"But Shui Lian, you took so many pieces of jewelry from your elder sister. These trinkets together are probably worth seven or eight taels of silver, aren't they" he asked.

Zhang Shuilian nodded. "Well, about seven or eight taels, why Do you want me to take all these jewelry and exchange them for silver"

The big ball nodded: "There's no money at home. When we went to Qianyuan County to collect debts, our mother said that the family money was only enough for a month's rice."

"Right now, even those one hundred taels of silver I don't know when my brother-in-law will be able to pay back. At least these seven or eight taels, plus the few taels that my stepmother gave last night, put together it's over ten taels. We have to keep this money safe and take it home to buy rice and grain for mother."

"Buy you a head!" Zhang Shuilian said angrily, and shoved all the jewelry back into place.

“For the past few years that I’ve been married to you, I haven’t received even a single decent piece of jewelry. This is from my cousin. Why should I take out these pieces of jewelry to feed your whole brood of siblings” Zhang Shuilian asked.

“Listen here, big shot. You don't even think about that jewelry, it's mine, all mine!”

"If you want to support all your siblings, you should curry favor with your uncle and aunt. They're wealthy; even the crumbs that fall from their fingers would be enough for us to eat for a year and a half!"

Having said that, Zhang Shuilin got up and poured herself a bowl of tea, drinking it down in large gulps. She finished three bowls before she finally managed to calm her anger.

She turned her head to look at the golf course: “Later, when you go to your aunt’s place, ask her, say that my sister-in-law and brother-in-law heard about them raising Zhi, they are very grateful, want to treat your aunt and uncle to a meal, beg your aunt to give us face.”

The big ball was surprised, "I'm worried your aunt and uncle wouldn't want to eat with your sister and her husband."

“That’s why I told you to ask your aunt. Remember, you have to mention Dazhi; that's what your aunt cares about.” Zhang Shui Lian reminded.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The big ball felt a bit flustered, "If your aunt and uncle found out about that one hundred taels of silver at the dinner table, I'm worried they would be angry,"

"Do you still remember when your aunt and uncle gave us that large sum of money, they specifically told us to buy some land back in our hometown. But we took a hundred taels and put it into high-interest loans..."

Zhang Shulian raised an eyebrow. "Relax, I already told my cousin about this, they wouldn't be foolish enough to bring it up at the dinner table."

They only have their eyes on a ladder, so they can climb up high branches. And we just happen to be that ladder.

>

"My cousin said that as long as we provide them with a chance to have a meal, they will return the original one hundred taels of silver after the meal."

Upon hearing that the one hundred taels of silver could be recovered, Daqiu's eyes lit up immediately. Any previous hesitation was long gone.

He excitedly said, "Water Lily, you say what to do, I'll do it! Anything you say!"

Luo Fengtang went to the Ministry of War to handle business and came back after noon.

"Have you eaten" Yang Ruqing asked, she was making watermelon juice for Luo Baobei to beat the heat.

Luo Fengtang said, "I had dinner at the Ministry of War. By the way, Qing'er, Xiao An has something to do during the day and can't come over, but he can come over for dinner tonight."

Yang Ruqing smiled happily, “Alright then, I’ll cook some of Xiao An’s favorite dishes tonight.”

Luo Fengtang said, “What about Dahuqiu and Zhang Shuilian Did they also eat dinner together at night To be honest, I don't know why, but I always feel that these two seem to be up to something in Qingshan County.”

Yang Ruoqing twitched the corner of her lips and said, “I also think so, so I’ve already sent someone to investigate secretly. What those two are up to, we'll have results soon.”
