Chapter 352: In Time
The mountain girl holding the torch pulled her brother who was speaking and said, "Forget it, brother, no need to say more. I think the Wang Family isn’t entirely heartless."
Wang Yongzhu quickly offered an apologetic smile, "Truly sorry, so sorry! It was my Third Brother who doesn’t know how to speak or act properly. You three are magnanimous, please don’t take his words to heart."
"It’s getting too late, and with the mountain road so far, it wouldn’t be safe to go back now. Moreover, you three saved my Fourth Brother—a great kindness. If we didn’t even offer you a meal, what kind of people would we be? I suppose all three of you haven’t eaten all day, how could you bear it? We’re just preparing a simple meal for you to fill your stomachs for the time being. It’s also a good time to wait for Doctor Liu to arrive, in case he has questions about the incident, we’ll need to trouble you three to tell the doctor..."
With that said, the siblings found it hard to refuse any longer, for to do so would be too pretentious.
After all, it was mentioned that they should speak to the doctor about the situation later.
Plus, after the sugar water hit their stomachs, their hunger grew even more, so they stopped talking and sat down on the chairs Jinhoo and Jinhua had brought over.
Quick-witted Jindou refilled their sugar water.
Song Chongjin took a couple of sips of the sugar water, then approached Wang Yongzhu, "Since everything’s fine now, maybe I should head back first?"
Wang Yongzhu glared at him, "You came down from the mountain and haven’t eaten yet, right? Where do you think you’re going? Wait to eat dinner before you leave."
Song Chongjin, not minding the glare, simply felt that today’s sugar water was really sweet, sweet enough to touch his heart.
Lady Jiang, who was naturally swift with her hands, and with the help of Lady Lin, quickly rolled out a stack of pancakes, fragrant with eggs and green onions. They then prepared a refreshing cucumber salad from the garden, drizzled with a bit of spicy oil, both sour and spicy.
