Truly, good intentions are not always truly good.
Zhang Shan Ni very much agrees with this, since she herself has never possessed such excessive kindness.
But the Xie Family had some, especially the little aunt, ****, who was scarcely involved in matters and was most prone to feel pity for such people, causing Xiaoqi and Xiao Si to also become soft-hearted and naive.
However, after being lectured by Zhang Shan Ni, the aunt and cousins never had good intentions again.
Especially Zhou Xiuhua, she once kindly gave a piece of meat to a pitiful little beggar standing in front of the stall. After that, the beggar came every day, not only that, but also brought even smaller and more pitiful beggars, causing the old lady so much worry she thought she might die.
It was Xiao Lei who found out later and specifically told his Uncle Fatty, and only then was this mess sorted out.
Zhang Shan Ni glanced over, didn’t notice anything special, and let it go.
While Lin Zhaodi had the intention to follow, her body was too weak to even stand up, so she could only watch helplessly as Zhang Shan Ni walked away.
Luckily, from her location, she was still able to see where Zhang Shan Ni went.
If she put more effort into slacking off, she would definitely be able to find out where Zhang Shan Ni lived.
Unfortunately, Zhang Shan Ni rarely left the house, but Lin Zhaodi, who was accompanying Zhang Shan Ni that day, also remembered her. Although she didn’t meet Zhang Shan Ni, after searching for a week, she finally saw that girl!
She followed her and saw the girl enter a small western-style building, and then, she actually saw Qingfeng Village’s old accountant, Xie Tiesheng!
Taking a closer look, wasn’t that his wife, Zhou Xiuhua behind him?!
When Xie Tiesheng and Zhou Xiuhua saw this, they were sure this must be Zhang Shan Ni’s marital home!
She couldn’t believe that the wretched Ni had randomly jumped into a lake and picked such a powerful and wealthy husband for herself!
Lin Zhaodi saw Xie Tiesheng and his wife talking to that girl, and the girl happily went behind the stall and didn’t come out again.
Then, she watched Zhou Xiuhua leave the house and return after half an hour with two children.
She kept watch until past 7 PM when she saw the stall finally close.
The light was already on in the second floor, and the scent of food was carried far by the wind; Lin Zhaodi, hiding in a corner across the street, found herself swallowing saliva several times, feeling extremely hungry... even saliva drooled out.
It literally dripped out, drip-drip, onto the ground, of which Lin Zhaodi was completely unaware. Her eyes were fixed on the small western-style building, her mind in a fog.
It was only when she saw Xie Tiesheng coming out with a wooden bucket to throw in the trash can, and then leave, that she seemed to come to her senses and sprinted straight towards the garbage can—
...
Zhang Shan Ni was completely unaware of the events happening in the alley outside the window, as her small western-style building was over fifty meters away.
Even No.19, who was watching the courtyard, didn’t perceive anything wrong or dangerous about Lin Zhaodi, especially after seeing her instinctual action of rushing towards the garbage can, he immediately dismissed her as a threat.
Zhang Shan Ni saw this and just felt such a pity she couldn’t take out her camera!
Xiaoqi really was super cute!!
In a blink of an eye, it was almost the Dragon Boat Festival. Zhou Xiuhua went around but couldn’t find anyone locally who made their southern-style zongzi, so she thought of selling some herself.
Now, there were only three days left until the Dragon Boat Festival. Today was conveniently a Saturday. Xie Jingzi could come back earlier because her school was temporarily requisitioned as an examination venue, giving them half a day off.
The old lady had wanted to make zongzi herself for a long time, and even had the salted eggs prepared early. The zongzi leaves and straw strings had been washed and dried since yesterday.
Now, all that was left was to prepare the stewed pork chunks. The meat was ready, just waiting to be cooked.
Since they hadn’t expected the young daughter to return so soon, the glutinous rice was soaked late, and even if the meat was cooked, they couldn’t wrap the zongzi yet. But now, the two sisters-in-law, along with Xiaoqi, were having a great time teasing each other.
This way, once the glutinous rice was ready tomorrow, they would be able to start wrapping the zongzi right away. The main fillings were salted egg yolks and stewed pork chunks, alongside ingredients like glutinous rice, red beans, and green beans, making it a traditional southern-style savory zongzi. freёwebnovel.com
There was also grey-water zongzi, which was actually sweet zongzi stuck with white sugar. [Here it only explains the zongzi specific to Ranran’s hometown]
On the first day, they planned to wrap sixty savory zongzi and a hundred sweet zongzi. These were all intended by Zhang Shan Ni as gifts for others. Of course, the recipients were Xie Jingchen’s comrades.
Zhang Shan Ni had already calculated who to give them to and how many.
Of course, if they really were to give them all away, sincerely, it wouldn’t be enough.
One hundred sixty zongzi, sounds a lot, but in reality, when wrapping and distributing, it’s still not enough.
