C25 The Temple Was Sheltered from the Heavy Rain by the Sudden

0Lee Wanning turned her head and saw Huan Niang looking at her with a smile. In her hands were two bowls of wondrous hands. No one should be able to walk with such grace and grace.    

    

When Lee Wanning was looking at her, she had already sat down opposite of her and said, "Look at me, usually women don't like to eat here because they feel ashamed when they see me, and men don't want to come here because their women won't let them."    

    

Lee Wanning really didn't know how funny such a worrisome business was. Zhou Qu had already picked out the dishes from his bowl for her. Lee Wanning glanced at him, then exchanged their bowls and said, "You're really interesting, but the rent here isn't cheap, right?"    

    

Huan Niang glanced at her and said, "This is my old man's own home. If not for the money, it would have been closed long ago."    

    

What Lee Wanning could see was that Huan Niang didn't care about the store as much as she had shown.    

    

She stared at Zhou Qu, who was about to give her his hands in his bowl, and said to Huan Niang, "If that's the case, why don't you manage it properly?"    

    

"Aren't I trying hard?" Huan Niang had an innocent look on her face.    

    

Lee Wanning lowered her head and ate her meal. "Anyway, I can't tell."    

    

Huan Niang chuckled. Just as she was about to speak, Lee Wanning said, "The place is very good and the pickpocketing is also very delicious. If there's really something wrong, you'll know without needing me to tell you."    

    

Huan Niang was about to answer when Zhou Qu said, "Err... "Sister-in-law Duan, don't be offended. Aa Ning's character is just like that …"    

    

Huan Niang snorted coldly and said, "Forget it, I won't tell you guys. I'll go back to work!"    

    

Then, Lee Wanning saw her waving her fan and talking to people beside her, but that aunt obviously didn't want to talk to her and just turned her face away.    

    

Lee Wanning watched the commotion and turned to Zhou Qu, "Interesting."    

    

When he heard her words, he was obviously stunned for a moment before he said, "Actually, Sis Duan is rather pitiful. Previously, she was born in a brothel, but Big Brother Duan saw that she was beaten up pitifully, so he risked his life to redeem her. Now, the two of them are guarding this shop, they won't be able to do much business for a day."    

    

Lee Wanning looked at Huan Niang and knew that she was forcing a smile. She lowered her head to eat a mouthful and said, "There are too many pitiful people in this world. Without any foundation, the most worthless thing is sympathy."    

    

Seeing Lee Wanning's expression, Zhou Qu couldn't help but frown. Lee Wanning had already finished all the food in her bowl and said, "Come, let's go to Bian Family."    

    

The two of them paid the bill and walked out. When they walked out, Huan Niang was still at the door, snorting coldly. Lee Wanning turned her head and looked at her with a smile as she said, "Madam Duan, I have something to attend to today. I'll come play with you another day!"    

    

Huan Niang didn't answer her own question and just walked straight inside.    

    

Lee Wanning looked strangely at Zhou Qu, "Speaking of which, why haven't we seen Boss Duan?"    

    

"Big Brother Duan had lost all his face in the past few years due to boiling water. He doesn't want to see anyone. Sis helped do all the work outside."    

    

Lee Wanning nodded. "So that's how it is."    

    

Zhou Qu acknowledged her and then said, "Now that you mention it, I suddenly have an idea."    

    

"What idea?"    

    

Lee Wanning glanced at him and said with a smile, "Secret!"    

    

When the two of them arrived at Bian Family, Bian Dayuan was looking left and right for Lee Wanning. When he first saw Lee Wanning, he directly went up and asked, "Madam Zhou Family, why are you here?"    

    

Ever since that day, there had been people coming to eat that dish every day, but Bian Dayuan and the others didn't know how to do it. The taste was always different, and they didn't dare to ruin their signboard. His heart felt like it was dripping blood!    

    

Looking at Bian Dayuan's expression, Lee Wanning couldn't help but laugh. She continued, "Because we are grateful today, Zhou Qu and I wanted to come over to discuss the marriage between our second brother and your daughter."    

    

Bian Dayuan nodded and told the two to sit down while he went in to call his wife.    

    

Honestly speaking, Zhou Qu had been in this town for so many years, but it was his first time coming to this Bian Family inn. Although it was not big and the decorations were not new, it was still considered one of the best in the surrounding hundred miles of village.    

    

Just as Zhou Qu was thinking this, Bian Dayuan already said, "Sister Zhou Family, since we are going to be relatives soon, then there is no need to be polite. My daughter today is exactly sixteen years old, we have raised her for so many years, this betrothal gift …"    

    

Aunt Bian nodded her head repeatedly. Lee Wanning saw this and looked at Zhou Qu calmly.    

    

Zhou Qu said, "Of course, but as you know, our Zhou Family is not that rich, so …"    

    

"Of course we know. So, we don't need much of this betrothal gift, so …" Bian Dayuan looked at his wife. Aunt Bian said, "20 taels of silver!"    

    

Zhou Qu frowned. Lee Wanning then said slowly, "20 taels of silver..." "Actually, it's not that much. After all, you've raised your daughter for so many years.    

    

Aunt Bian immediately beamed, and so did Lee Wanning. "If that's the case, then my dish from before …"    

    

Aunt Bian was about to say something else when she looked her husband in the eye and said, "That dish is pretty good. If it's alright, after our Lan'er gets married, can you teach our Lan'er?"    

    

"Then you can sell it, right?" Lee Wanning continued her sentence.    

    

Lee Wanning turned her eyes away and said, "It's alright. If you want it, I can give it to you guys as well. After all, we'll be family from now on, but Uncle Bian, Aunt Bian, and the rest of us should be fine. If I need to find you guys for something in the future, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"    

    

"Of course! "Of course!"    

    

Lee Wanning didn't say anything else and just said, "Alright, if that's the case, then it's a deal. Zhou Qing and I will head back now and choose a good day to send over the betrothal gift and the betrothal fee."    

    

Bian Dayuan didn't expect Lee Wanning to be so easy to talk to. The smile on his face was almost plastered out. Lee Wanning didn't like it, so she pulled Zhou Qu and left.    

    

"This twenty taels of silver …" Zhou Qu said the moment he walked out of the inn.    

    

Lee Wanning said, "Hai, don't worry. Although our family is still in a difficult situation like this, it's still a lifetime's worth of work, so we still have to look good."    

    

Hearing Lee Wanning's words, Zhou Qu looked at himself carefully and said, "I was just thinking about you before …"    

    

Lee Wanning didn't expect Zhou Qu to care about this. She was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, "Silly, didn't you see how my stepmother ate people without spitting out their bones the other day? Why don't you give that much money to her now?"    

    

Zhou Qu let out a sigh of relief when he saw how uncaring Lee Wanning looked. Lee Wanning felt a warm feeling in her heart as she looked at him.    

    

When they arrived in front of a stall, Zhou Qu suddenly stopped and turned around to face Lee Wanning, "Aa Ning, I suddenly remember that something fell on Big Brother Duan's side."    

    

"What is it?"    

    

"It's a very important item. Wait for me at the front. I'll go get it!"    

    

Then, without waiting for Lee Wanning's reply, Zhou Qu walked straight ahead. Lee Wanning could only stand on the spot and wait. Zhou Qu didn't want him to wait long and would be back soon.    

    

Lee Wanning looked at his hands and asked, "What did you bring?"    

    

"Nothing." Zhou Qu scratched his head and said, "Let's go!"    

    

Lee Wanning felt that he seemed to be very secretive, but she didn't say anything further and decided not to bring it up anymore. The two of them continued walking forward.    

    

However, the heavens were not happy about it. Halfway through their journey, rain suddenly began to fall from the pitch black sky.    

    

Zhou Qu covered Lee Wanning's head with his hands and said, "I know there's a temple here, let's go in and take shelter!"    

    

Lee Wanning immediately nodded as the rain approached aggressively.    

    

When they arrived at the temple, both of them were already soaked to the skin.    

    

Zhou Qu looked around and put up a few pieces of wood on the side, "Take off your clothes first, I'll get the fire."    

    

As Zhou Qu said this, he started to light a fire with his back. Lee Wanning slowly took off her outer clothes and placed them on top of the fire.    

    

Zhou Qu's actions were quick. After a short while, he had already finished cooking the fire and took off his clothes.    

    

Lee Wanning was still wearing her apron and a shirt, while Zhou Qu took off the top part of his clothes. When Lee Wanning saw his muscular body, she immediately looked away.    

    

Zhou Qu looked around and found nothing else to cook. He was worried that Lee Wanning might catch a cold, so he was anxious.    

    

Lee Wanning sat beside the fire and said, "It's okay, I'm not cold."    

    

Zhou Qu looked at her face in the fire and felt his throat tighten, then he quickly looked away and replied, "Oh."    

    

Lee Wanning found it a little funny and the corner of her mouth lifted slightly.    

    

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. The only sounds that could be heard were the quiet sounds of breathing and the crackling of wood.    

    

Zhou Qu was sitting across from her, and some of the rain was hitting his body. Lee Wanning said, "Sit here, you'll get wet."    

    

Zhou Qu looked at himself and then at Lee Wanning. He responded with an "oh" and slowly sat down beside Lee Wanning.    

    

Lee Wanning suddenly felt her breathing become heavier.
