Chapter 806: Chapter 807: Hide Quickly Chapter 806: Chapter 807: Hide Quickly Chiang Baoguo had brought Song Xiyun and Chiang Caijiao with him, and as Song Xiyun and Chiang Caijiao stepped through the door, they felt as though their eyes couldnât take it all in.
The large houses in the county town were not only big but also very clean and pretty!
These days they were temporarily living in a rented room Chiang Baoguo had found, which was right next to the factory, all kinds of dirty and messy! Moreover, the place was very small, with no kitchen, just a makeshift stove set up. Inside, there was only a small bed and a worn sofa that appeared to have been dragged in from who knows where.
Chiang Baoguo didnât sleep there, but Song Xiyun couldnât stop worrying about him. She went to his factory every night to see for herself that he was really there and not out meeting that shameless Ding woman.
Chiang Baoguo was also incredibly annoyed.
When he thought of Chiang Songhaiâs family living here, he couldnât help but bring them over to see them.
Perhaps once there, they might think of some way to solve the problem.
âBaoguo, why, why have you come?â
Chiang Songhaiâs initial reaction was to panic a little.
Now he too had grown a bit afraid of the Old Chiang Familyâs people, and he had come to realize that whenever someone from the Old Chiang Family came over, it was never for anything good.
The life he currently had was good, peaceful, and he could even call it prosperous. He truly didnât want any trouble to arise.
If this were the past, in this unfamiliar place, having his own family members come to visit would have made Chiang Songhai happy to quickly welcome them inside.
Now, however, he stood by the door somewhat stupefied and without the slightest intention of inviting Chiang Baoguo and his family of three inside.
âWhatâs this, Second Uncle? Are we really going to grow apart just like that? Itâs rare for us all to be in the county town and weâre not far from each other. We should visit each other more,â Chiang Baoguo said as he stepped forward to walk inside.
Chiang Songhai had no choice but to step aside.
Ge Liutao, who was busy in the dining room, did not go to welcome them immediately upon hearing their voices. Instead, she somewhat frantically tried to first bring in and hide in the cabinet the ten-or-so boxes of pastries that she had packaged.
But before she could put away the remaining half-plate of pastries, Song Xiyun had already made a beeline for it.
As soon as she entered, she smelled the sweet aroma of the pastries and couldnât resist it.
âSecond Aunt, what delicious thing are you making?â
As she asked, her eyes were already fixed on the plate Ge Liutao was holding.
The pastries on the plate were pretty, colorful, and gave off an irresistibly sweet smell.
Song Xiyunâs mouth was watering, and without waiting for Ge Liutao to reply, she had already reached out, âLet me taste a piece!â
âDongdongâs mother, this canât be eaten,â Ge Liutao said in a rush, turning with the plate in such a nimble and quick move that she avoided Song Xiyunâs hand.
This would have been impossible in the past.
Song Xiyun was taken aback.
Chiang Caijiao following at her side found such pastries even more irresistibly appealing as a child. She gently tugged at the hem of Ge Liutaoâs clothes, âAuntie, Iâm so hungry.â
As she said this, she looked longingly at the plate in her hands.
Though Ge Liutao was reluctant, she had no other choice but to give a child a piece of pastry. She looked at Chiang Caijiao, hesitated for a moment, then handed her a red bean pastry, âGo ahead, eat.
Chiang Caijiao was delighted, âThank you, Auntie!â
However, another hand moved even faster alongside her, reaching out to snatch the pastry and stuffing it into a mouth in one swift motion.
Both Ge Liutao and Chiang Caijiao were stunned.
âOh wow, this is so delicious! Second Aunt, how did you make this? Itâs wonderful,â Song Xiyun mumbled through mouthfuls of pastry, praising indistinctly.
