Chapter 254: Rob Him
I had been to the Wang Family Courtyard before, and at that time, besides this jujube tree, there was nothing else.
But now, the courtyard was full of flowers and neatly arranged grasses, with a hint of floral fragrance in the air.
In the corner, several large jars were very conspicuous, and on top of them lay a piece of white cloth Wang Yongzhu had just thrown down.
...
Wang Yongping quickly boiled a pot of water and poured a large bowl for Li Jinzhi, thinking about how she hadn’t had a drop to eat or drink all day. He hesitated for a moment, then reached for a leftover mo (bun) from noon from the cupboard in the kitchen and brought it out as well.
He saw Li Jinzhi sitting obediently on the stone bench, and when she saw him bringing out the water and mo, tears welled up again, "Thank you, Fourth Brother! I... I’m fine with just water; I don’t... need the mo..."
Wang Yongping shoved the mo into Li Jinzhi’s hand, speaking gruffly, "Eat quickly, and then leave!"
Li Jinzhi, with tears slipping down, devoured the mo, and not long after finishing it, she drained the bowl of hot water too. Not daring to stay any longer, she got up to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Fourth Brother, for today! I will keep your kindness in my heart. There will be a time to repay you in the future!"
With that, she walked outside.
Wang Yongping’s mouth twitched as he looked at the sky. The sun had already set, and she, a heavily pregnant woman, where was she going? Was she really going to walk back to town over night?
However, giving her some water to drink and something to eat today was the last bit of kindness he could afford to show Li Jinzhi. As for the rest, he couldn’t manage.
