Chapter 85: Chrysanthemum Tea
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Old Master Cheng’s body was not in good condition, to begin with. He had caught a cold. As soon as the wind blew, he began to cough non-stop. The more he coughed, the more severe it became. His entire body was trembling.
Cheng Ling walked to the edge of the field and picked up a teacup and washed it. Then, she poured a cup of tea and handed it to Old Master Cheng.
“Drink some. It’s chrysanthemum tea made from my chrysanthemum.”
“Is your cup clean?”
“Are you going to drink it or not?” Cheng Ling’s patience was running out.
Old Master Cheng coughed so hard that his throat was sore. He needed a cup of tea to moisten his throat.
He could only take the cup from Cheng Ling’s hand and drink the tea in one gulp.
The temperature of the water was just right. It was neither hot nor cold.
After drinking it, Old Master Cheng felt that the itchiness in his throat had disappeared. He was very comfortable now.
He cleared his throat and felt that his condition was much better for some reason.
“We know that you don’t have money, and of course, we won’t ask you to compensate us. I heard that you went to Old Master Ding’s house yesterday?”
“I did go, so what?”
Cheng Ling was not surprised that this matter had reached Old Master Cheng’s ears so quickly. After all, this circle in the capital was actually like a small district, and any news would soon spread.
Old Master Cheng cleared his throat.
“It’s nothing. We plan to apologize to Old Master Ding for the fight you had with his grandson last time. Next Monday is my birthday. You know that, right? You can invite Old Master Ding over then.”
Cheng Ling frowned. Sure enough, his visit was with bad intention.
“You can’t invite him yourself?”
“What do you mean?! It was you who caused the trouble, and we still have to clean up the mess for you.”
Cheng Ling smiled.
“Are you hoping that Old Master Ding will come to your birthday celebration to give you face? But you won’t be able to invite him over if you invite him yourself. So, you let me invite him, right?”
Cheng Ling hit the nail on the head. Elder Cheng was a little embarrassed and desperately denied it.
“How is that possible? I’ve been friends with Old Master Ding for many years. If I invite him, he will definitely come. This is a chance for you to make up with Old Master Ding.”
Certainly, Cheng Ling could tell whether Old Master Cheng was telling the truth or not.
She didn’t want to waste any more time with Old Master Cheng.
“I won’t invite you. You can invite yourself if you want. It’s windy now. You should go back if you’re not feeling well.”
Cheng Ling turned around and left after saying that.
She didn’t turn around no matter how Old Master Cheng called her from behind.
Back at home, Xie Ying was picking vegetables in the kitchen.
“Ling Ling, I saw Old Master Cheng talking to you just now. What did you say? He didn’t look happy.”
“Nothing much. He just said something about the birthday banquet.”
“Oh.”
Cheng Ling quickly changed the topic, worried that Xie Ying would continue to ask.
“Grandma, Wang Ma isn’t back yet? Didn’t she say that she would take a day off? I haven’t seen her the entire weekend.”
“She called me yesterday morning and said that her grandson was sick. She even had to stay in the hospital to look after him.”
This must be an excuse. Wang Ma’s grandson and granddaughter would fall or fall sick every few days. Wasn’t that just not to work?
“Grandma, go out and sit down first. I’ll wash the dishes. The water is still cold.”
After eating, Cheng Ling felt a little sleepy, so she took a nap.
When she woke up, she found ‘Fight and Kill’ had sent her a WeChat message, telling her that she would arrive this afternoon.
In the evening, a girl indeed knocked on Cheng Ling’s door.
This girl was not old. She looked like she was only 25 years old. She had a baby face and was of average height.
“Are you the person that Wang Xi found?”
Wang Xi was the real name of ‘Fight and Kill’.
“Yes, Miss Cheng. My name is Mi Duo. Would appreciate your guidance from now on.”
Mi Duo reached out her hand. Cheng Ling also reached out her hand to shake Mi Duo’s hand. The moment they shook hands, Cheng Ling knew that Mi Duo was not a simple girl.
From the strength of the handshake, she knew that she was definitely not as weak as she looked.
As expected, someone who could catch Wang Xi’s eye would not be an ordinary person.
When Xie Ying heard the sound, she put on her clothes and walked out of the room. When she saw the stranger standing at the door, Xie Ying was stunned for a moment.
“Ling Ling, who is this young lady?”
“Grandma, her name is Mi Duo. I have hired her to take care of you. Wang Ma is always away from home every two-three days. If you have any work in the future, you can ask Mi Duo to help you.. That way, you won’t be so tired.”
