Chapter 45 PT2 – Betrothal Gift

After a while, Wu Weiwei put the roast chicken into the bag and brought it over.

Chen Ling glanced at the backpack hanging on his shoulder and said, “Let it out to get some fresh air.”

Before Wu Weiwei could make a move, the little weasel had already pushed the zipper open with its nose and jumped out. Knowing who was the leader of the group, it excitedly pounced on Chen Ling, wanting to rub against him to express its gratitude.

The weasel moved as fast as lightning, but still could not escape the fate of premature death as it was stopped by a hand halfway.

Jiang Yu’s hands were on its body, his eyes half closed, looking down at it: “Don’t jump on him.”

The weasel tried its best but still couldn’t make a sound. It had no choice but to open its round eyes and try to fight its way out by acting cute, but the next second it was frightened by the breath released by the man and trembled with fear. Its tail curled up to protect its soft belly and trembled non-stop.

It’s so pitiful.

Chen Ling couldn’t bear it anymore, so he reached out and snatched the weasel away. Fearing that his ancestor would go crazy, he didn’t hold the little guy in his arms, but gently put it on the ground.

He patted the weasel’s butt and said, “Go play, and come home by yourself later.”

Ordinary weasels may not know the way, but this one does. Since Chen Ling decided to bring it back to Yuhe Mountain, he never thought of restraining it. Only when it is free can it thrive.

Wu Weiwei looked at the furry figure running away and asked, “Brother Chen, where is the immortal’s nest?”

Chen Ling: “In the yard.”

There are many places where weasels like to build their nests, such as in piles of firewood, caves on riverbanks, sparsely populated cemeteries, as well as piles of rocks and tree holes. Unfortunately, there is no place on Yuhe Mountain that can satisfy Huang Daxian’s preferences.

Chen Ling: “Let’s go to the next hill and pick up some firewood and build a temporary shelter for it.”

Wu Weiwei: “Okay.”

Wu Weiwei and the little weasel were both newbies, so he felt very pitiful and loved it. After receiving the order from his superior, he carried it out quickly. In just over half an hour, he picked up a bag full of dry firewood from the next hill and brought it back.

Chen Ling went with him to carry the firewood home. When he saw Zhao Xunchang with a dark face, he was startled and quickly put down the firewood. He brought the roast chicken without two thighs to the master and said flatteringly: “I took the legs to share with the two children. Master, you won’t be angry, will you?”

How could he, an old man over fifty years old, argue with a child? Zhao Xunchang snorted and went into the kitchen with the roast chicken.

Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, picked up the firewood on the ground, and squatted on the ground with Wu Weiwei to build a nest. Jiang Yu sat on a stone table not far away and drank tea.

After eating the roast chicken, Zhao Xunchang came out and sat opposite the old ancestor. He silently poured himself a cup of tea and talked about Yuhe Mountain’s new project.

“Mr. Jiang, I heard from Chen Ling during dinner that Hengjiang Group and the Rare Bird Breeding Base are going to cooperate to build a breeding pilot project in our Yuhe Mountain?”

“Yes.” Jiang Yu put down his teacup and said seriously, “Hengjiang Group has been participating in national public welfare projects in recent years, with remarkable results. Since February last year, they have been planning to participate in the national animal protection plan.”

Hengjiang Group is a large private enterprise that refuses to go public and only engages in industry. It is involved in a wide range of industries, from aerospace to small components of electronic products in daily life.

Zhao Xunchang: “I have also heard about the greening charity project that Hengjiang participated in, but this breeding pilot project in Yuhe Mountain is more or less related to Xiaolan. The money can’t just be paid by the Jiang family. I have to pay for it too.”

Jiang Yu’s attention was all on Chen Ling. He tapped the table lightly with his fingertips and lowered his eyelids to hide his emotions: “No need, just consider it as a betrothal gift.”

Zhao Xunchang: “…” This man is so direct?

Thinking of his and his apprentice’s empty wallets, as well as the huge project on Yuhe Mountain, Zhao Xunchang was silent for a long time, “Does he know?”

Jiang Yu was about to speak when his brows suddenly furrowed. He stood up and walked straight towards Chen Ling.

Zhao Xunchang thought something had happened, so he stood up as well, craning his neck anxiously to look at the corner.

It is better not to look at it, because once after looking at it, you will wish you were blind.

Chen Ling was fine. He just squatted down and leaned forward. His clothes naturally moved up a little, revealing a small piece of fair skin.

Jiang Yu pulled his clothes down for him and stood behind him like a city wall without moving.

Chen Ling’s ears turned red, and he freed one hand and put it behind his back to grab his clothes himself.

Wu Weiwei didn’t understand the situation and kept urging: “Brother Chen, hand me that stick. Yes, the one on the left…”

Zhao Xunchang wiped his face, not wanting to watch any more, and went into the house with the teacup.

Less than five minutes after the new house was built, the little weasel climbed over the wall with a few dry branches in its mouth.

The nest in front of it was decorated extremely beautifully with clean branches. It opened its mouth slightly in surprise, and the branches fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The little weasel turned its head and looked behind it. Chen Ling and Wu Weiwei were standing there bent over, looking down at it.

And the big purple-blue parrot flew over from the shelf at some point and flew around the small nest, “Welcome, welcome, warm welcome.”

Zhao Xunchang stood in the house, looking at the warm and velvety scene outside. He had an idea and took out the cushion that his little apprentice had bought for him for winter use and stuffed it into the weasel’s nest.

The little weasel’s black eyes looked as if they had been washed by spring water, sparkling and translucent. It bowed to everyone, crawled into its beloved nest, and rolled around happily in it.

Zhao Xunchang couldn’t help but smile, and suddenly put his arm around his apprentice’s shoulders and said, “Our Yuhe Mountain will get better and better.”

Xiao Lan circled around and landed back on the shelf, excited, “It’s getting better and better, better and better!”

The small courtyard was bustling with activity, which aroused the curiosity of the people outside the gate, who couldn’t help but look in.

Chen Ling knew that this was Li Guifang who lived not far away, so he greeted her, “Aunt Guifang.”

After being caught peeking, Li Guifang simply walked into the yard. She looked around curiously at the people present and said with a smile, “Xiao Chen, I’m here to talk to your master about something.”

Chen Ling shouted “Master” towards the door, and Zhao Xunchang walked out with his hands behind his back.

Li Guifang took the initiative to step forward, rubbing her hands awkwardly and said, “Mr. Zhao, I know that the cemetery being built above belongs to your family. I have a relative who is seriously ill and I’m afraid he won’t live long, so I wanted to find a place to bury him.”

Zhao Xunchang nodded to indicate that he was listening.

Li Guifang pursed her lips and continued, “We live so close that we can be considered neighbors. It is said that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative…”

After hearing her talk, Zhao Xunchang asked impatiently, “You want to get it at a cheaper price?”

Li Guifang stopped talking and said with a wandering look: “I do think so. It’s mainly because my relative is not well off and has limited ability, so I want to find a cheap one.”

Zhao Xunchang stepped aside and pointed at Chen Ling and said, “My apprentice is the boss of Yuheshan Cemetery. If you have anything to say, talk to him.”

Chen Ling came over and said, “Aunt Guifang, I’m sorry. As you know, Yuhe Cemetery has not been repaired yet. I’m afraid I can’t help you.”

“I can help, I can help.” Li Guifang lowered her voice, “You helped Zhang Xiaoxia and the Gao family bury their children, I know everything. Xiao Chen, please do your aunt a favor and sell a grave to my relative. Of course, we can’t give you that much for the price.”

If she really was in financial difficulty, the price could be negotiated, but Chen Ling knew that the woman was not telling the truth.

There was always a reserved look on her face, especially when facing his master, her eyes were sometimes wandering and she didn’t dare to look him in the eye.

To such people, Chen Ling always said coldly: “Aunt Guifang, the children of the Gao family and Sister Zhang are special cases. I believe you have heard the crying of babies at night before…”

The young man always greeted everyone with a smile. Li Guifang thought he had a good temper, but she didn’t expect him to suddenly tell a ghost story.

Actually, it’s hard to say whether it’s a true ghost story or not. Li Guifang still gets goose bumps all over her body and her heart beats with fear when she thinks of the baby’s shrill and piercing cry that day.

“If you don’t want to sell it, then don’t sell it. Who are you trying to scare?” She shouted at the top of her voice and turned away.

Wu Weiwei ran to the door and retracted his head after seeing the person walking away.

After closing the door and bolting it, he asked Chen Ling: “Brother Chen, why did you turn her down?”

“She is hiding something from us on purpose,” Chen Ling said. “Since she is not sincere, I don’t want to do business with her.”

The cell phone Wu Weiwei placed on the stone table suddenly vibrated and made a buzzing sound.

He picked it up and saw that there was news about the “Sifang Mountain Skeleton” incident in the information sharing group.

Wu Weiwei: “Brother Chen, the boss of Sifang Greening, really hired someone to exorcise the evil spirits!”
