Chapter 249: Planning to Open a Stall

When Jiang Zhennan and the others returned home with hoes and shovels, they saw Lin Yuelan and Zhou Wencai chatting and laughing at the stone table in the courtyard.
They selectively ignored Liu Jiaying. Doctor Zhang continued to busy himself with the medicinal herbs in the courtyard.
Jiang Zhennan felt that Zhou Wencai was an eyesore the moment he saw him.
‘Why is this man’s skin so white? And where are his fox-like eyes looking? Why is he laughing so hard?’ In short, this was the first time Jiang Zhennan felt annoyed at someone during their first meeting.
As soon as he entered, he walked to a familiar corner and put down the hoe and chopper in his hand. Then, he walked to Lin Yuelan and asked loudly, “Miss Yue ‘Er, is everything done?” He was referring to the matter of buying land. He was doing this to hint to the man that he was close to Lin Yuelan.!!
Lin Yuelan nodded and replied, “Yes, it’s done!” As she spoke, Lin Yuelan picked up the teacup on the table, poured a cup of tea for Jiang Zhennan, and handed it to him.
Jiang Zhennan took it and drank it like a water buffalo.
Zhou Wencai looked at the four to five men who entered one after another. He frowned slightly. He had doubts in his heart. It was a little out of place for five men to be living with a young woman. Besides, they were all big and burly. They had a killer’s presence too. Could they be bandits?
Zhou Wencai studied the man who Lin Yuelan poured the tea for. When he saw the mask, his pupils constricted, and his heart thumped.
‘This man…’
He was tall and burly, wearing a silver mask. The fierce and aggressive aura on his body was something an ordinary person wouldn’t have. Even murderers wouldn’t have such a strong aura.
‘Could it really be him? But he should be far away in the capital. Why would he be cooped up in the mountains, doing farm work with a hoe and shovel? Shouldn’t he be on the battlefield, defending the country?’
Although Zhou Wencai’s father was only a small county Magistrate, the Zhou family was a large family with thick roots. They had a place in the capital.
Although Zhou Wencai was the descendant of the Zhou Family’s side branch, the main family would hold a family gathering every year. The sons and daughters of the main family and the branches had to attend.
This was to cultivate the sons and daughters of the Zhou Family. The daughters would be married off, and the sons would be cultivated as future leaders. The useless ones would be removed from the family.
Zhou Wencai was one of the chosen ones. Therefore, he knew some of the information gathered by the Zhou Family in Beijing.
A few months ago, he heard that the man had returned to the general’s residence from the border. So how could someone so similar suddenly appear in Lin Yuelan’s courtyard? Was the news he received false, or were there really doppelgangers in this world?
Zhou Wencai wanted to find out the truth, but he felt a little flustered and uneasy in his heart. His intuition told him that it was best not to have such curiosity.
Zhou Wencai suppressed the puzzlement and uneasiness in his heart. He picked up a cup of tea on the table and brought it to his mouth. However, his slightly pale fingertips belied his nervousness.
Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan picked this up clearly.
Jiang Zhennan’s eyes under the mask flashed with a sharp light, and then he continued to drink.
Lin Yuelan was also holding a teacup. She lowered her eyes and gently blew on the tea, causing small ripples to appear in the teacup. Then, she took a small sip.
The atmosphere between the three of them was a little strange. It seemed as if nothing had happened, but in reality, they each had their own thoughts.
Doctor Zhang was expertly fiddling with the herbs. His pair of wise and astute eyes secretly swept a glance at Zhou Wencai, who appeared to be externally calm but internally flustered.
