Chapter 146: Assassination Attempt (1)
An hour later, Duan Yixin put the food into the bamboo basket. She also put leftover meat, offal, and skin into her warehouse. Before leaving, Duan Yixin put Liushiliu’s portion into a bamboo basket and placed it on the wooden table.
After that, she carried the bamboo basket out of the house and walked to the farm. When she arrived, Duan Yixin saw that Ji Hongwei and the others were digging trenches.
Looking at their sweat-soaked clothes, she felt that these people hired by Chi Junheng were really honest and hard-working. It would do her no harm to provide a little bit of food for these people since she was sure that they would not demand more from her.
With this in mind, Duan Yixin called them, "Everyone, come and have something to eat first."
As soon as Duan Yixin said this, one of them looked up and saw the bamboo basket in her hand. Seeing Duan Yixin go to the shed and take out plates of food from the bamboo basket, the man swallowed his saliva and then looked at Fu Zhifu.
"Uncle Fu, what should we do?" He asked in a low voice.
Fu Zhifu and others also stared at the food and swallowed hard. Fu Zhifu was silent for a moment and said, "Jingzhun, don’t your younger sister and Miss Duan have a very good relationship?"
Lian Jing nodded and said, "Yes, but I rarely talk to Miss Duan."
Hearing his answer, the only woman in the group said, "My younger brother also used to play with Xin Niang. He said that Xin Niang was very friendly and often shared food with him and the other children. I think we should just accept her offer this time."
