However, when Mrs. Jiang returned to her residence, her stomach pain broke out again. Seeing that the medicine could not control it, she had to call in a private doctor.

This movement alarmed Gu Que, and later, Gu Que visited the door in person.

The old lady was lying on the beauty's couch, seeing Gu Que's serious face, she comforted her in a warm voice: "My stomach, I'm sick, it's fine."

Gu Que knew that the old lady was avoiding the important ones, and said with a frown, "Are you going out alone today?"

The old madam's stomach problem was sudden, and she had to be with people all year round, and Gu Que repeatedly warned her, but unexpectedly something happened.

"The doctor said that you can't leave people by your side." Gu Que often said this, the old lady's ears were numb, but she still couldn't bear to shake her grandson's heart, and nodded in agreement.

Gu Que's face became relaxed now, the old lady pulled him to sit down, and saw that he was getting more and more relaxed, and she was very distressed: "I heard that your father gave Gu En the hotel and the restaurant? Really? None left for you?"

Seeing Gu Que acquiescing, the old lady couldn't help scolding: "Your father is really nothing, I was blind at the beginning, so I agreed to Qiu'er marrying that bastard!"

Seeing her angry, Gu Que hurriedly comforted her: "Calm your anger, and be careful not to get angry. I don't care about hotels and restaurants, as long as Yimingfang is in my hands."

The old lady stared straight at her grandson, and sighed for a long while: "You are right, we don't want his Gu family's things, Yiming Fang is different, it is your mother's hard work."

Back then, the marriage of Jiang Wanqiu, the young lady of the Jiang family, caused a sensation in Haicheng. She married Gu Cheng, the young master of the Gu family who was well-matched.

Everyone said that Jiang Wanqiu was a lady from a famous family, but few people knew that she was also an excellent dress maker, and she was the first to open Yimingfang.

Jiang Wanqiu didn't want to be the canary in the boudoir, and put most of her heart and soul into Yimingfang. If it wasn't for that accident, she would have become a well-known garment-making master.

It's a pity that an accident dragged down Jiang Wanqiu's body, and the young woman like a flower lingered on the sick bed all day long, and she let go of her after a while.

After Jiang's departure, Gu Cheng wanted to straighten his aunt Fang, but because of Jiang's opposition, he kept delaying.

Gu Que lowered his eyes and said: "I blame me for this matter, if I hadn't gotten lost back then, my mother wouldn't have..."

"If you say something stupid, why blame you!" Old Mrs. Jiang said dissatisfied, "If you want to blame, blame your father. You are a big living man who led you out and lost it!"

When Gu Que was three years old, Gu Cheng led him out, but lost him, Jiang Wanqiu and Gu Cheng completely separated because of this matter.

Jiang Wanqiu mobilized all human and material resources to find her son, but it was a pity that she was so sad that she emptied her body and died of illness not long after.

After she left, Gu Cheng already had a new love, and the matter of finding his son was almost delayed.

Fortunately, the Jiang family loves their daughter dearly, and has been persistently looking for their grandson for many years, and finally found Gu Que when he was seven years old.

The old lady couldn't bear to watch Gu Que blame herself, she hurriedly changed the topic with a smile: "Speaking of which, today is thanks to Mr. Xia's help, if he didn't hold me back, the consequences would be disastrous..."

"Mr. Xia?" Gu Que asked carefully before he realized the opportunity, and was also entrusted by the old lady to the Haotai suit shop to thank his benefactor.

Xia Jinting still didn't know that Mrs. Jiang took his words "come to the store to make some clothes" seriously, and he worked in the store in a proper manner, occasionally looking up outside the store.

At this glance, he could see that it was unusual. I don't know if it was his illusion. He always felt that someone was staring at the shop.

Those people hid very well, probably on the opposite side of the road, all wearing bunts.

"One, two, three..." Xia Jinting was counting, but a rag "flyed" across the sky, and he raised his hand to catch it.

Ah Zhong said with a sullen face, "Wipe the window."

Xia Jinting sighed, since the billboard was hung on the facade, his life has become difficult again.

He is an apprentice, but he is more respectable than his fellows in front of the guests. Ah Zhong is jealous, and he often uses different methods to train him in private.

This kind of trick of "flying cloth outside the sky" is performed several times every now and then.

Xia Jinting collected his mind and focused on cleaning the windows.Unexpectedly, a group of people suddenly broke into the shop, they looked like hooligans, and they all had things in their hands.

The manager in the store recognized their leader, and hurried forward to apologize, "What wind brought Xiangye here, come here, let's have some tea!"

"No need, we're not here for tea!" Master Xiang slammed the thing on the table, picked up the sample clothes on the shelf, and rubbed them into a ball.

"Master Xiang, Lord Xiang, if you have something to say, don't do it!" The steward looked at the wrinkled sample clothes, his heart skipped a beat.

Master Xiang picked his ears impatiently: "I want me to stop, so to speak, drive him away!"

The steward looked at Master Xiang's gestures, and the black knuckles were pointing at Xia Jinting who was cleaning the window.

"Master Xiang, you are joking. This is a new apprentice in our store. If he offends you..." Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, there was a crackling sound.

Lord Xiang smashed a big teacup into pieces!

It was originally a set of tea sets, there were five teapots and teacups in total, one was smashed by Qi Xuan a few days ago, and another one was smashed by Master Xiang today.

The steward shrank his neck like a quail, be honest.

"I see that you are a wise man, so I will give you a chance. If you don't do what I say, you will break more than just a teacup." After Master Xiang finished speaking, all the ruffians behind him raised their hands.

Xia Jinting became the focus again, and everyone was watching his reaction.

Facing such a bully, Xia Jinting was completely calm. He put the rag away and jumped off the ottoman neatly.

Even though he was doing hard work cleaning the windows, his clothes were in perfect order, which was in stark contrast to the rough Xiang Ye.

"Who sent you here?" Xia Jinting asked everyone's doubts.

"Mr. Xia, Young Master Jiang asked me to bring you a sentence. Please think twice before you act, and don't lose the face of the Jiang family!" Seeing Xia Jinting, Master Xiang showed no fear, but fell in love with this rumored "male wife" Have a look.

Jiang Shao?Xia Jinting sneered.If he doesn't act like a monster, Xia Jinting will forget about him.

"I have nothing to do with Jiang Kuan, why should he care about me!" Xia Jinting was not timid at all.

Grandpa Xiang sucked his teeth: "I don't care, Young Master Jiang gives me the money, and I will do the work. If you don't leave, I will smash the shop!"

The steward looked at the two with a headache, and finally cupped his hands at Xia Jinting: "Our Haotai Temple is small, we really can't afford your big Buddha, you can go."

Xia Jinting clenched his fists and wanted to say something, but when he saw the steward turned around as if fleeing, he went back.

The guys in the room looked at each other, but no one said a word.

Xia Jinting looked around and understood.

He didn't hesitate anymore, he packed his bags on the kang and left Haotai.

People were coming and going on the road, Xia Jinting was in the middle of it, he didn't know where to go for a while.

He left Xia's house and finally entered Haotai, thinking that he finally had a place to settle down, but he was kicked out again in the blink of an eye.

Xia family, Jiang family, husband and wife, marriage, these words are like huge black holes, trying to suck people into them alive and imprison them for life.

He even began to suspect that the plot in the book was predetermined, no matter how hard he tried, there would always be some external force forcing him to follow the established path, but he was Xia Jinting, the Xia Jinting from modern times, a living person.

He can't do the absurd things of the people in the book, and he can't bear the mediocre life of pretending to be deaf and dumb.

As if sensing his sad state of mind, the drizzle fell from the sky, hitting Xia Jinting's head and body.

He walked forward mechanically, and unknowingly came to the depths of the dilapidated alley.

Unlike the wide roads, the roads in the alleys are crowded and narrow, and the lighting is not good.

Xia Jinting found a place with tiles covering his head, and squatted down slowly.

He is very tired and needs a rest.

"It's raining, Xiuhua, put away your clothes!" A shrill female voice sounded beside Xia Jinting's ears, and Xia Jinting was suddenly kicked behind him.

"Oh, what is this thing? It scares me to death!" The woman suddenly raised her voice, "You're going to die, squat here and keep silent."

Xia Jinting raised his face, he was really embarrassed at the moment, his hair was soaked in the rain, and limply stuck to his forehead, but it made his pale face even more handsome.

Wang Guihua has lived in the alley for most of her life, and has never seen such a handsome man.

She couldn't help but slow down her tone: "What's the matter?"

"I'm fine." Xia Jinting stood up and gathered the burden on his shoulders, "Excuse me, is there a place to stay nearby?"

Wang Guihua glanced at the drenched baggage, and said clearly: "There is no place to live, just right, I still have a spare room in my house, two silver dollars a month, I don't charge you for tea money, sweeping money, can't I live?"

Xia Jinting was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

He has met a charter woman in the alley who lives on rent. Two silver dollars a month is not a small amount for Xia Jinting now.

Thinking of Jiang Kuan who was chasing after him, Xia Jinting strengthened his determination not to compromise.

He gritted his teeth and nodded, and immediately got a slap on the shoulder: "What are you still doing in a daze, come and help me collect the clothes!"

Wang Guihua didn't treat him as an outsider at all, and threw a large pile of clothes into his arms.

Wang Guifang's house is a three-story attic. She lives on the first floor and rents out the second floor.

Now the second floor is full, leaving only the third floor attic vacant.

Xia Jinting went to the attic, spent some time cleaning up the dusty room, and replaced it with a suitable mattress, and then he was relieved.

The bathroom in the house is shared, Xia Jinting looked at himself in a mess, and decided to wash up before dinner.

When we got there, we found that the door of the bathroom had been bolted, apparently someone was using it.

Not long after, the wooden door opened from the inside, and a woman in home clothes was wiping her wet hair.Seeing Xia Jinting, she was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously took a step back.

Xia Jinting stepped aside and said, "Hi, I'm a new tenant."

The woman nodded quickly, hurried into the house, and didn't show up again until meal time.

While arranging the bowls and chopsticks, Wang Guihua looked Xia Jinting up and down, muttering: "It's amazing, it's different after tidying it up, and it looks really handsome! Xiuhua, this is the new tenant."

Peng Xiuhua was bringing out the dishes, when she heard that she wiped her hands on her apron, she smiled awkwardly at Xia Jinting.
