Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “I know.”
In this world, there was a lot of darkness hidden under the light. How could she not know the evil in the man’s eyes?
However, she also knew that the opportunity to find Liu Erlang was here.
Lin Jie felt a little puzzled, Liu Sanniang knew it but from the looks of it, she wanted to stay.
The man returned very quickly and said with a smile, “Miss Liu, my surname is Zheng. People call me Zheng Lianda. Just call me Brother Zheng.”
Zheng Lianda smiled, his eyes fixed on Liu Sanniang. This delicate little girl had red lips, white teeth, and was gentle and soft. How nice it would be to be called brother by her?
Lin Jie almost couldn’t control his anger. Zheng Lianda was already so old and looked even older than Mr. Liu. If Liu Sanniang allowed him, he would have beaten this beast to death.
Liu Sanniang’s expression did not change. She looked at Zheng Lianda. “Then 1’11 stay for the night. Thank you.”
When Zheng Lianda heard Liu Sanniang speak, he was so happy that he almost revealed himself. He quickly looked away from Liu Sanniang. He was afraid that such a good-looking girl would run away.
It was strange. Looking into Liu Sanniang’s eyes, he felt a little guilty, as if his bad thoughts had been seen through. Zheng Lianda did not think too much about it. She was a delicate and beautiful girl. It was impossible for such a girl to be his match.
Zheng Lian waved his hand. “It’s no trouble at all. It’s my responsibility. My wife will soon prepare the food and make the bed for you.”
Zheng Lianda almost drooled. The evil thoughts in his heart mind like a tree that could reach the sky in an instant.
A beautiful woman and a thin child were simply fish on his chopping board.
Zheng Lianda said happily, “The two of you can rest first. 1’11 go out for a while.”
How could he not drink on such a good day?
Lin Jie felt disgusted and seemed to be a little angry. “Are you leaving or not? If not, I’ll leave.”
He did not even want to call Liu Sanniang shifu anymore. The evil in Zheng Lianda disgusted Lin Jie. He did not believe that Liu Sanniang did not know.
Liu Sanniang looked at Lin Jie calmly and said, “Jie, look at him. What did you see?”
Lin Jie frowned and said emphatically, “Bad thing. He’s very bad. 1 want to kill him.”
Zheng Lianda was so bad that Lin Jie couldn’t even find a word to describe it.
Zheng Lianda was evil to the core. He had bullied many girls. In Lin Jie’s opinion, killing Zheng Lianda would still be too merciful a punishment.
Liu Sanniang reached out and touched Lin Jie’s head. “Other than evil, you also have to see the vitality in evil. Everyone has evil in their hearts, and you have to learn to distinguish evil and find vitality.”
“I’m here to look for my Second Brother. 1 know that the government office is the place to be. He’s ferocious like a demon, but I also saw an opportunity from him. He probably knows where my Second Brother is.”
Evil had to be eliminated, but Liu Erlang had to be found too.
Lin Jie was silent. He was not as good as Liu Sanniang because he only saw evil. He only wanted to kill and could not see anything else.
Liu Sanniang left the main room and stood in the courtyard with Lin Jie.
In the backyard, the sound of a woman packing could be heard.
Lin Jie stood beside Liu Sanniang and frowned. “This family doesn’t have children.”
In such a big house, there seemed to be only Zheng Lianda and his wife. Without children, it looked desolate and oppressive.
The woman came out of the backyard with the chicken and duck that she had killed. She glanced at Liu Sanniang and Lin Jie before entering the kitchen.
Lin Jie looked at the kitchen and said, “1’11 help her and see if 1 can get anything useful out of her.”
Taking the initiative to express goodwill would make people have a good impression of him.
After saying that, Lin Jie walked towards the kitchen.
Liu Sanniang smiled and followed him into the kitchen.
The woman was washing the chicken with hot water. When she heard the commotion, she turned around and looked at Liu Sanniang and Lin Jie in shock. However, she quickly looked away, stood up, and said, “What do you want to do? Just tell me and I’ll do it.”
Lin Jie walked towards the wooden basin where the chicken and duck were placed. “We’re here to help you.”
Liu Sanniang also smiled and said, “Second Brother is missing. My parents are very worried. We might have to trouble you for the next few days. I brought some money. Other than that, 1 also want to help you do something else.”
Liu Sanniang took out a piece of silver, grabbed the woman’s hand, and placed it in her palm.
The woman was very panicked and wanted to decline it, but she saw that Liu Sanniang’s slender fingers were stained with the chicken blood on her hand. The woman felt guilty and quickly said, “You’re guests. Don’t touch these dirty things. I’ll do it.”
Lin Jie had already started plucking the feathers. He said calmly, “My shifu’s culinary skills are very good.”
If he let this woman cook, he would not even have the appetite to eat it.
Although he did not need to eat, he seemed to have been spoiled in the Liu family recently. Madam Wei’s culinary skills were extremely good, and Liu Sanniang’s culinary skills were also extremely good. He liked to eat all these good things.
Liu Sanniang had already squatted down to help.
The woman was in a daze and stood there for a while before coming back to her senses.
Seeing that Liu Sanniang handled it well, the woman couldn’t help but say, “Miss Liu, you don’t look like someone who does this.”
Liu Sanniang smiled and said, “My mother is a chief, so 1 can be considered half a chief.”
Which chef didn’t know how to prepare ingredients?
The woman was stunned again. Then, she couldn’t help but praise. “No wonder you’re so skilled.”
Liu Sanniang said gently, “My mother is about the same age as you. Auntie’s culinary skills shouldn’t be bad.”
The woman was stunned again. She glanced at Liu Sanniang a few times, as if she couldn’t help but gravitate towards her. Then, she secretly looked away. Liu Sanniang stewed a big pot of chicken and duck. It was extremely fragrant. The woman went to wash the vegetables with a dazed expression. Zheng Lianda came back with a hum and handed the things to the woman. He lowered his voice and threatened, “You know what to do, right?”
A thing wrapped in coarse paper was stuffed into the woman’s hand. The woman retracted her hand, as if she felt that this thing would burn her hand. However, Zheng Lianda grabbed her hand and said in a low voice, “I’ve tolerated you for a long time. If you dare to ruin my plan, I’ll send you to reincarnate..”
