Chapter 260 Letter from Du Ruo
Seeing the person running away, Xie Jiaojiao stood up.
Jiang Weinan followed her gaze and didn't see anything, only people of all kinds coming and going on the road.
"What's wrong? Who did you see?"
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head and sat down again: "No, maybe I saw it wrong."
But she was surprised in her heart, why did she see Xie Meng'er in Jiangbo City?
Xie Meng'er is in Jiangbo City, so does that mean Xie Zhishu's family is also in Jiangbo City?
Ever since the incident with Xie Qian during the Chinese New Year, there has been no news from Xie Zhishu's family for a long time.
She also asked Lai Fu to find out about the situation over there, fearing that the people over there might do something weird again, but Lai Fu said that no one had lived in that broken house for a long time...
Seeing Xie Jiaojiao in a trance, Jiang Weinan waved a spoon in front of her and said, "What are you thinking about? It will get cold if you don't eat it now!"
Xie Jiaojiao quickly came to her senses and ate one bite at a time with a spoon, leaving Jiang Weinan stunned.
On the way back, Xie Jiaojiao felt a little uneasy. She didn't know why, but since she saw Xie Meng'er, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. It might be because every time their family appeared, something bad happened.
Xie Jiaojiao persuaded herself, she saw it, so what? Could it be that she was afraid that they would do something else?
Now that I thought this way, I felt much more comfortable. I followed Jiang Weinan on the road and bought two dragon lanterns to bring back. I hung them at the door, one on each side.
The next morning, Xie Jiaojiao followed Jiang Weinan to the dock, where He Hu was also.
Xie Jiaojiao was surprised to see him wearing tight clothes and pants and carrying sacks together.
"Is your friend's son still doing anything?"
Jiang Weinan shook his head: "I don't know about that."
When He Hu saw them, he put the sack on his shoulder down on the ground and ran over.
"You guys are here?"
Jiang Weinan glanced at him, then at the sack he put down. He Hu pouted and said, "I made my father angry yesterday, so he forced me to help today. I have no choice."
"Your father is so good-tempered, how could he be angry with you? What did you do to make him angry?"
What could it be? It was just that his grandfather asked his father and mother to find him a marriage partner. Just these two days, his father found one for him. Because he didn't want to meet the one today, he was punished to carry the sack.
He Hu wiped his face with the handkerchief around his neck: "Come on, let's go and rest for a while!"
It's still quite sunny during the day, but because it's close to the river, the breeze makes it feel cool.
He Hu poured them both some cold tea and said, "If there were no dragon boat race, it would be finished in a few days."
Xie Jiaojiao took a sip of tea and asked, "Can this dragon boat race still affect the progress?"
"That's right! The county magistrate said that after today, we have to take a few days off to prepare for the competition."
Xie Jiaojiao pursed her lips and said nothing.
He Zhongsheng happened to come over at this time. When he saw He Hu slacking off, he immediately yelled, "I asked you to come to the dock to help, but you come here to hide from the heat?"
When He Hu heard this, he quickly drank the water in the cup, threw the handkerchief over his shoulder, winked at Jiang Weinan, and said to his father: "I'll go, I'll go right now, don't you see Weinan and Xie Jiaojiao, come over and say a few words!"
Having said that, the man left.
Xie Jiaojiao was very surprised. He Hu usually looked very cool and seemed not afraid of anyone, but she didn't expect that he was so afraid of his father.
When He Zhongsheng saw him leave, he turned to Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan, and they quickly greeted him.
He Zhongsheng said to Jiang Weinan: "I have arranged for people to transport Mr. Jiang's batches of goods by land!"
"Thank you, Uncle He!"
He Zhongsheng waved his hand: "Now let's not be polite with each other. Next we just have to wait for the dock to be repaired!"
At this point, he looked at Xie Jiaojiao: "The order that Xianxi mentioned before..."
Xie Jiaojiao knew it, this old fox.
"Uncle He, please rest assured. I have asked someone to contact me these days."
He Zhongsheng felt relieved after hearing her words, and then he talked to the two of them about the layout of the dock.
After listening to the conversation, Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "With Uncle He here, we can rest assured about the dock."
Jiang Weinan nodded in agreement.
He Zhongsheng continued: "By the end of this month, the wharf will be fully completed."
Xie Jiaojiao looked up at He Zhongsheng, only to see that his face was slightly flushed with excitement.
Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan didn't stay at the dock for long, after all, they still had a lot of things to do at home.
When she returned home, Gu Weizhi was already waiting for her. Yesterday's events had basically been sorted out, and Xie Jiaojiao thought he had already left.
"Manager Gu, do you have anything else to discuss?"
Gu Weizhi took out a letter from his bosom and said, "We talked about things too late yesterday, and I forgot about it. This is a letter from Du Ruo, which was sent to Xiangyuan Tower, so I sent it to the young lady."
Hearing that the letter was from Du Ruo, Xie Jiaojiao was slightly excited and took the letter.
Gu Weizhi saw that the letter had been given to her, so he bowed and said goodbye. Xie Jiaojiao did not try to keep him. After all, Jiangbo City had seen so many visitors because of the dragon boat race, so there should be quite a few visitors to Jiangyang Mansion as well, and they must be very busy.
After Gu Weizhi left, Xie Jiaojiao opened the letter. The handwriting on the letter was beautiful and neat. In the letter, Du Ruo wrote about her recent life. She said that she had arrived in Mobei, where no one recognized her. She had just settled down and was preparing to open an embroidery workshop in Mobei. She also said that after she got out of it, she felt that her life had a purpose. On the way to Mobei, she also went to worship her parents. It was the first time she went to worship her parents in so many years. Speaking of this, she thanked Xie Jiaojiao for giving her a new identity and allowing her to live openly in this world. She was no longer called Du Ruo. She named herself Du Liunian, which meant that the things in the past were gone. Time passed by, and she would live for herself from now on...
When Xie Jiaojiao read the words she wrote, she thought of how she looked when she was writing the letter. She was happy for Du Ruo, oh no, it should be Du Liunian.
Seeing her happy, Jiang Weinan asked her what was written in the letter. Xie Jiaojiao handed it to him directly. After reading it, Jiang Weinan couldn't help but say, "This Miss Du didn't mention Lu Zimin at all. It seems that he hasn't found her yet."
Xie Jiaojiao took the letter from him, put it in the envelope, and said, "If they are really destined to meet, they will meet!"
Jiang Weinan nodded.
Xie Jiaojiao put the letter into the drawer, ground ink and prepared to write back to her. She picked up the pen and put it down again.
Jiang Weinan looked at her: "Why don't you write anymore?"
Xie Jiaojiao said: "She was originally saying goodbye to the past. If I reply to her letter, will it be bad?"
Jiang Weinan reached out and picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and handed it to her: "She wrote to you and told you that she was doing well, which was to make friends with you. If you didn't reply, she would be upset."
Xie Jiaojiao listened, took the pen, and started writing...
