Chapter 481 Peace
It was time for dinner, and since Wu Jinliang had come here for such a small matter, there was naturally no reason for him to go back.

In his words, the library pays you, the boss, so little, so what if I give you a few more meals?
He said he was going to have a free meal, but when he got to the street, he bought some delicious food to take with him, saying that your boss always complained that the food in the library was not good enough.

Shi Chun was too lazy to expose him. He went to the library to read and tried to be a good person in front of the three beauties. Even the mice passing by on the street knew what he was thinking.

When the two returned to the library, Dong Liangying was holding a tray and distributing pastries to some guests who were free in the library.

Except for those who are born with deficiencies and are not suitable for cultivation, most people in the cultivation world, regardless of their talent for cultivation, will more or less practice Qi training to strengthen their bodies, so they do not all have fixed meals.

Normally, this was Shi Chun's job. Shi Chun was about to take over when he saw this, but Wu Jinliang grabbed his arm and stuffed the package of grass leaves he had just bought into him, then rushed over and shouted, "Miss San, let me help you."

Dong Liangying turned around and was shocked. She immediately shouted in a delicate voice: "Stop!"

Then he said to Shi Chun, "Wang Ping, he smells too bad, take him to the backyard quickly." He tilted his head to signal the guests in the library, indicating not to disturb them.

After hearing such blunt words, Wu Jinliang stood there in shock.

So Shi Chun stepped forward, stretched out his hand and grabbed his shoulder and collar, dragging him all the way to the backyard before letting go.

Wu Jinliang also pulled open his collar and lowered his head to sniff, mumbling, "No smell. I took a bath and applied perfume before coming here. Can you help me smell it? Is there really still a smell?"

To be honest, Shi Chun didn't smell any bad smell on him. He was indeed clean and perfumed. But the problem was that Dong Liangying would not wait until he smelled the odor and disturbed the guests before reacting.

He would not say that Dong Liangying had a preconceived idea. He stuffed the grass leaf package back to him and asked, "What do you think?"

Wu Jinliang looked up at the sky with a look of grief and indignation, and murmured, "Brother Wang, I don't want to work in the horse farm anymore. Let me find another place."

No one answered. I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and found that Shi Chun had gone back to the front to help.

It was useless to say that. Wu Jinliang let out a breath and looked around.

Although the pavilions and towers in the backyard are old, they still retain their charm. They are usually cleaned and occupied. There are fish in the pond and dozens of species of flowers in the scattered flower beds. The people who take care of this place are willing to devote themselves to life and love it.

Wu Jinliang is not interested in flowers and plants. He is only interested in people, and people are more beautiful than flowers.

He was familiar with this and went straight to the kitchen corridor.

In the kitchen in the corridor, there was a slender figure in simple clothes busying around. The curve of her back, wearing an apron and a waist belt, in front of the chopping board caught Wu Jinliang's eyes straight, and he stood at the kitchen door with a dazed expression.

The woman who noticed someone at the door turned around and saw it was him. She also saw the grass leaf package in his hand and smiled softly, "Bringing vegetables again."

Her smile was a very gentle one. She raised her wrist to wipe the hair from the corners of her eyes. Her forehead was stained with either moisture or oil smoke, but her gentleness carried a simple and virtuous feeling.

She doesn't wear any makeup, but has fair and tender skin. The rustic style in her eyes makes people feel like seeing the breeze and the bright moon. She has a very dignified and graceful beauty, the kind that makes men feel at ease at first sight, and you can tell at first sight that she has a good upbringing.

She is also the oldest among the siblings, already in her thirties, the eldest sister Dong Liangyi.

For an ordinary family like this, not a serious monk, she should have gotten married at this age.

She almost got married a few years ago, and she had only met her partner once. The marriage was arranged by her father. This is a typical family where marriage is decided by the parents.

The object was the son of an old friend of his father Dong Wenshu, who lived in another city. Just as the two fathers had finalized the marriage, something happened to the man. No one knew who killed him, and it was said that the body seemed to have been eaten by a demon cultivator or a wild beast.

Not many people in Dazhi City knew that she had confirmed her marriage, but the key point was that Dong Wenshu was insisting on it for some reason. Since then, he never mentioned his eldest daughter's marriage again. No matter what the conditions of those who came to propose marriage were, Dong Wenshu politely rejected them.

In order to get her father to give in on her eldest sister's marriage, the second child, Dong Liangyu, also refused to get married, saying that it made no sense for the second child to marry before the eldest.

There were many gossips about the two daughters who were past marriageable age but still didn't get married, thinking that Dong Wenshu wanted to have a live-in son-in-law. No wonder some people said that Shi Chun wanted to be a live-in son-in-law.

To Wu Jinliang, all those messes were trivial matters. He only knew that each of the three sisters was extremely beautiful.

While Dong Liangyi turned back to work, Wu Jinliang pulled at his collar and sniffed, then quickly walked over, put the bought vegetables on the chopping board, and said, "Come and have a meal, big sister will cut it for you."

Dong Liangyi smiled and didn't say much. She just felt that this guy was shameless.

Her father felt that Wu Jinliang had ill intentions and that frequent visits here would ruin the reputation of his daughter's family, so he had driven Wu Jinliang away once before.

But Wu Jinliang still came afterwards, but he never ran into her father again, which was quite strange. If they didn't know that her father didn't have definite information when he came back and rarely gave advance notice, they would almost suspect that it was Shi Chun who reported the news.

However, the siblings never drove Wu Jinliang away. After all, Shi Chun's salary was so low, and his friend just came to have a meal occasionally, not to mention that he brought his own delicious food.

Wu Jinliang wanted to help out or something, so he took the initiative to find work to do.

In this matter, Dong Liangyi wanted to be driven away. She didn't want to be alone with him in the same room, not even in the kitchen. This was the family education.

So Wu Jinliang went out of the backyard again and went to the library to read books.

At noon, there were no visitors on the second floor of the library. A graceful woman stood at the window of the octagonal building facing the alley. She stretched her hand out of the window above her head to greet the sunlight. When she looked up, she could see her translucent blood vessels, and her eyes showed exploration and confusion.

Her skin was very white, a sickly pale color, and she looked like someone who rarely saw the sun, and she would occasionally cough lightly.

It was Dong Liangyu, the second daughter of the Dong family. She was not young for ordinary people, at 26. She was indeed an ordinary person, the only one in the family who had not practiced cultivation, a true mortal body.

It’s not that I don’t want to practice, but I don’t have the talent.

When I was still in my mother's womb, my father's stubbornness and obstinacy made him say things he shouldn't have said and offend people, which led to the Dong family falling into a huge predicament. No one dared to help at that time. In the end, it was my father's old friend who almost became my eldest sister's father-in-law who heard the news and ran around for help, and finally pulled the Dong family out of the predicament.

Because of that incident, Dong Liangyu's innate foundation was damaged before she was born. She was born into the world with an illness and has been troubled by the incurable illness, making it impossible for her to practice.

It's not that it is completely incurable, but to correct the congenital defects, the blood, flesh and meridians need to be rebuilt, which is simply not something that ordinary people can do. It requires a master with great skills and an elixir that is unimaginably expensive to grant a new life. This is not a hope that an ordinary family like the Dong family can reach.

Maybe it was because of the illness, the figure in front of the window looked slim and thin.

Perhaps to hide her thin figure, she wore a slightly loose soft blue gown, a men's style, a silver gauze hat on her head, and two silver ribbons hanging down her back. In one hand she held a book behind her back, and with the other hand she looked out the window.

She was dressed as a young lady, and one could tell at a glance that she was a woman from her pretty face, as graceful as a lotus emerging from water. She turned around when she heard the voice, and she had a natural pink beauty mole between her eyebrows, and she also had a scholarly air.

Seeing that it was Wu Jinliang who went upstairs, she was too lazy to sit back and do any debit. After all, he was Shi Chun's friend, and there was no need to charge him for reading a book for free occasionally.

Wu Jinliang smiled and nodded as a greeting, then went into the bookshelf to find a book to read, occasionally peeking at Dong Liangyu through the gaps in the bookshelf.

Although this woman was a little thin, Wu Jinliang thought she was still very pretty and in line with his aesthetic standards. He had visited countless brothels and met countless beauties, but he had never seen a woman with such temperament.

"Oh, very good, this place is very good."

"Oh, not bad, not bad, great."

I don’t know what good content he saw, but Wu Jinliang’s cheers could be heard from time to time.

Dong Liangyu, who was walking back from a nearby bookshelf, smiled when she heard the voice. She was no longer surprised by Wu Jinliang's behavior of making sounds while reading.

Lunch was ready soon. Dong Liangze, who had just returned from lunch, ran up and called out, "Gao He, come down and eat."

He was a young man of vigor and vitality. At the age of sixteen, he had become the head of the family early. His mother passed away for some reason shortly after giving birth to him.

It was not easy for Dong Wenshu to raise several siblings.

Dong Liangze, who came downstairs, called Shi Chun again. Shi Chun asked Dong Liangying to go eat first, as someone had to watch over the lobby, so the two of them took turns.

Soon, Dong Liangyi, Dong Liangying, Dong Liangze and Wu Jinliang sat together to have dinner.

They are all ordinary dishes with some spiritual energy, but to be honest, the color, aroma and taste are also very ordinary. They can make Dong Wenshu always unwilling to go home for dinner, can make the cultivator Shi Chun run out to eat secretly, and can make Wu Jinliang, who is eating for free, can't help but bring dishes. You can imagine Dong Liangyi's cooking skills.

It would be fine if they were used to eating it since childhood, but Dong Wenshu definitely was not used to eating it since childhood, and neither were Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang.

Wu Jinliang didn't understand. How could such a pretty woman, who looked so gentle and virtuous, and worked so hard, be so embarrassed when preparing food? Did she rely on her imagination to make food? But he wanted to help in the kitchen, but she refused.

He also asked Shi Chun, and Shi Chun suspected that maybe he had never seen any good food outside.

However, Wu Jinliang kept praising the food in person, laughing as he ate, and showing off with his mouth.

What he didn't know was that Dong Liangze had seen him go to a brothel more than once. After he came back, he told his sisters about it and asked Shi Chun to persuade Wu Jinliang, saying that it was not easy to earn a few dollars and it was not worth going to such a place.

Shi Chun didn't know why he went to persuade her.

So, the four siblings all knew that Wu Jinliang liked to go to brothels. Shi Chun also knew that they knew it, but she didn't tell Wu Jinliang, for fear of spoiling Wu Jinliang's fun, so she didn't run errands to buy food but instead took the initiative to deliver it to his door.

After the four of them finished eating, Dong Liangying went back to eat in place of Shi Chun, and Wu Jinliang followed.

Dong Liangze came back to replace Dong Liangyu who was on the second floor of the library.

Dong Liangyi in the kitchen glanced out the window at Shi Chun who was sitting outside, then moved away from the window, tucked his hair behind his ears, straightened his clothes, and then took a few side dishes on a tray and brought them outside.

A plate of cut meat was placed in front of Shi Chun, and he said, "Gao He bought it."

After putting down the dishes, she went back to the kitchen to clean up, washing everything gently.

Shi Chun still gave Wu Jinliang some face, and he used his chopsticks frequently to eat the dishes Wu Jinliang bought.

She raised her eyes unintentionally and saw that Dong Liangyu, who was slowly savoring the appetizer opposite her, was too thin. Shi Chun pushed the plate of meat in front of him over to her, but when he saw that she didn't touch it, he couldn't help but pick up a large piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into her bowl.

Dong Liangyu looked up in surprise.

Shi Chun said: "He can come and eat for free, so you shouldn't be too polite."

Dong Liangyu's quiet personality remained the same as always. He remained silent. After hesitating for a while with the tip of his chopsticks, he tried to pick up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth to chew carefully. The edges of his white ears turned red instantly.
