Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - Chapter 152

Chapter 152

The weather was cool and Zhang Rulan got up late. On hearing the maid say that many things were delivered to the courtyard, Zhang Rulan came out to take a look. She was stunned by the sight in front of her, “Are these all from that Flower Boss?”

Ning Qing nodded.

After being shocked, Zhang Rulan did not say anything, but looked at the brick house in front.

Shen Ma held a package in her hand. She did not know what it was. The fabric feeling was like fur or something. When slightly opened it was indeed animal fur. The young master bought it for madam.

The young master who had always been cold to madam surprisingly knew that the days were  cold, would buy clothes to care about the lady. In the end the man realized to love people, also considered to grow up. The two would not have come to the present state if he was like that before.

The courtyard was stuffed full, and then looking at that thing in her hand, Shen Ma knew that the young master’s gift looked ultimately inferior.

Chen Jili was called by Zhang Rulan to eat. The courtyard had been cleaned up, Ning Qing, who ate some snacks brought by Yang Junhan, did not come to the kitchen.

Chen Jili finished eating and was about to leave. Zhang Rulan of course knew that he had come early in the morning, and saw that he didn’t know how to talk to Ning Qing. After coming to stay there in Clear Water, there was no progress at all, which was exactly what made people anxious.

“Ning-er is in her room, go and talk with her.”

Chen Jili’s upright body paused. He wanted to, but thinking about that scene in the morning, that heartache made him stop. He was afraid to go and hear something that would break his heart even more.

He had completely lost her. Every time he met her strange eyes, it would make his heart squeeze in pain.

He wanted to separate her and Flower Boss, but after finding out some things and worrying about her well-being, he rushed to Clear Water, just thinking that being closer to her might help her.

“She’s busy, so I won’t bother.”

He knew she did not want to see him. But he wanted to see her once in a while

As long as she was safe and sound, he could rest easy.

Chen Jili had already figured out that after misunderstanding her for so many years, trying to win her trust in just a few days was impossible.

Zhang Rulan put down her chopsticks, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth, then said, “Help me carry some things.” 

With that, she got up and went to the side of the main house.

Chen Jili understood that Zhang Rulan was helping him, but the pace of his feet remained heavy.

“Jili, come here, help me carry that box,” Zhang Rulan, who had already entered Ning Qing’s house, deliberately raised her voice.

When she heard Chen Jili’s name, her eyebrows instinctively wrinkled, they closed tightly for a moment and then opened again.

Then she lowered her eyes and continued the work in her hand.

Chen Jili stopped in front of the curtain and had to step into the room, raising his eyes to see Ning Qing’s expression. His heart was squeezed hard.

He looked sadly past the delicate face, walked straight to Zhang Rulan, raised his hand and placed a mahogany box on the floor.

The women who came to hear the sound, nimbly carried the box out, Zhang Rulan gave Chen Jili a wink, also followed out the door.

Chen Jili stood aside silently, slightly sideways, his gaze fell on the woman who was busy.

Her pretty face was hanging low. The light from the window shined in, hitting the white jade-like face, even the tiny hairs were visible, curly eyelashes like a row of small fans, moved with her sight up and down.

She placed a powder in front of the case, each with a small dish. The edge of each dish was marked with the name of the powder. She held a measuring spoon in her hand. A variety of tools were placed on the side. 

When Chen Jili arrived, Ning Qing really did not know what to say. 

After a while, Chen Jili left without saying a word, and Ning Qing was relieved.

……

To that day, the sun did not come out of the clouds, day by day it went dim as if the sky was going to collapse and press people as if they could not breathe.

Niqiu was diligent, he slept at night in Nei’er’s home and in daytime he came to the yard, either to help fetch water or help sweep the floor. A child of ten years old, would work so hard.

If it was not Ning Qing to keep an eye on him, Xiuping really could not see what was unusual about the child.

That morning, as usual, near the start of the hour, in groups  hired workers walked to the direction of the workplace through the courtyard pathway.

Nei’er combed her braid and wore the new jacket given to her by Ning Qing. She left the door. But she knew the high quality of the fabric, and was afraid of getting it dirty. So she went back inside and changed into a coarse cloth jacket.

At that juncture, she glimpsed the figure of Niqiu passing by but she did not think much of it, thinking that he had gone to work in the yard as usual.

But when she walked to the courtyard and did not see his figure, she felt that it was a little strange. Where did the child go?

She had to look around and saw him hiding in a corner. His hand was fumbling around his waist. When she saw it, she immediately turned red, quickly turned around and ran away.

She ran back to the courtyard in shame and anger.
