Chapter 165: Godmother
Jiang Yuwei immediately stood up and saluted after hearing this:
"If the old lady doesn't mind, I'd like to be your goddaughter!"
Everyone was attracted by the movement here and looked over:
"What? The old lady wants to adopt a daughter?"
"If you want to recognize someone, you should recognize my daughter. My family is a relative of the old lady's mother."
"Yeah, how come you recognized such a village woman."
"Oh, that's wrong. She's not just a simple village woman. She knows how to please the old lady."
Seeing that Jiang Yuwei agreed, the old lady was very happy and stretched out her hand to pull Jiang Yuwei to sit next to her, and then instructed the maid beside her:
"Go, bring me my set of gold jewelry inlaid with rubies. I want to give it to Yu Wei as a gift!"
Mr. Sun also heard about what happened here, and hurried over. Before he could say anything, the old lady glared at him and shouted:
"You look so anxious. What's the matter? Are you happy that you know I want to adopt you as my goddaughter?"
Mr. Sun looked at Jiang Yuwei and then at the old lady and smiled helplessly:
"Yes, yes, if the mother wants to adopt her daughter as her goddaughter, the son will naturally come to see her."
Seeing this, the old lady pointed to the wine glass beside her and said to Mr. Sun:
"Pour some wine. I think today is worse than tomorrow. I will accept this girl as my goddaughter today."
After that, the old lady looked at Jiang Yuwei and said with a smile:
"Yuwei, do you think it's feasible?"
Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded repeatedly and said to the old lady:
"It's all up to you."
At this time, the maid who served the old lady had already brought the jewelry. The old lady opened the jewelry box and put it on Jiang Yuwei. Then she handed the wine poured by Mr. Sun to Jiang Yuwei. Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei knelt down and saluted, and shouted crisply:
"Thank you godmother."
The old lady was very happy and quickly reached out to help Jiang Yuwei, saying with a smile:
"Good girl, good girl, I will have a girl in the future."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Ning Wan who was sitting next to him and said with a smile:
"From now on, Wan'er has to call me grandma, understand?"
Ning Wan raised her head and smiled sweetly at the old lady:
"Grandma, Wan'er knows."
Seeing this, the old lady happily hugged Wan'er and said with a smile:
"Hahaha, ok, ok Wan'er."
Seeing that his mother hadn't laughed so happily for a long time, Mr. Sun gladly accepted Jiang Yuwei as his sister and smiled at her:
"Yuwei, from now on, the relationship between our two families will be even closer."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded:
"Yes, I will have to trouble you in the future, Mr. Sun."
Mr. Sun waved his hand and said:
"Why call me Mr. Sun? Just call me Second Brother. I have an older brother, but his family has already settled in the capital. We will meet again if we have the chance in the future."
The old lady beside him nodded repeatedly after hearing this:
"Yes, call me second brother, second brother."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded:
"Second brother!"
Jiang Yuwei and her family had a happy birthday banquet with the old lady. After dinner, the old lady let them leave.
Mr. Sun ordered Manager Li to personally escort Jiang Yuwei out of the house. He then looked at the old lady and asked in confusion:
"Mother, why do you like Jiang Yuwei so much?"
The old lady looked into the distance and smiled faintly:
"Yuwei, this child is not simple. Not to mention that she was able to find the 800-year-old Gastrodia elata, the birthday gift she brought today is very unusual. She is not a simple village woman. She was able to start from scratch in the countryside and open a shop in Ping'an Town. How can she be a simple person? I am afraid that my future is short. It will not hurt you to make friends with Yuwei's family. It will also help you in Ping'an Town in the future, right?"
Mr. Sun was confused and said:
"Mother, if that's what you said, can't we just pick a few from our relatives?"
The old lady glared at Mr. Sun and sighed:
"How can those people compare with Yu Wei? They all have their own little calculations, but Yu Wei is different. She is kind by nature. If you are good to her, she will definitely be very good to you in return. They are different from the root."
After hearing what the old lady said, Mr. Sun nodded thoughtfully.
the other side.
Jiang Yuwei and her group were heading towards Ningjia Village at night. Ning Huaizhi was sitting on the ox cart and looked at Jiang Yuwei and asked:
"Yuwei, don't you dislike Sun Yuanwai? Why did you agree to recognize the old lady as your godmother today?"
Jiang Yuwei patted Ning Huaizhi on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"I don't like Mr. Sun, but I don't hate him either. The old lady is a kind person. Our family has a connection with her. And she was the one who proposed to take me as her goddaughter today. I don't want to offend the old lady at the birthday banquet. Besides, I already lost my mother. Isn't it good to have someone who loves me now?"
As she spoke, Jiang Yuwei looked up at the moon in the sky and said in a deep voice:
"Now, our paper shop is about to open. I know that the Ge family will not let us go easily. Instead of fighting them alone, it is better to lean on a big tree for shade."
Jiang Yuwei then turned her gaze to Ning Huaizhi and continued:
"You saw who went to the Sun family's birthday party today. If we have the Sun family as our backer in the future, we will be able to gain a firm foothold in Ping'an Town quickly. Even if the Ge family is so arrogant and unreasonable, they will have to think carefully before they want to deal with us."
Ning Huaizhi laughed after hearing what Jiang Yuwei said:
"My wife is really thoughtful. I was just afraid that you might be wronged, so I asked a few more questions."
Jiang Yuwei waved her hand and said:
"Why did I suffer any injustice? Didn't you see how generous the old lady was, giving me gold jewelry and a longevity lock for our Wan'er? I'm so happy."
The family returned to the courtyard talking and laughing, and after tidying up, they went back to their rooms to sleep.
next day
Jiang Yuwei thought that today was the day that Manager Wang was going to deliver the goods, and the shop could not be delayed, so she hurriedly asked the fool to get up and drive the ox cart with her to the shop to pick up the goods.
When the two arrived at the shop, Manager Wang's men had just arrived. Jiang Yuwei hurriedly got off the ox cart and directed everyone to move all the things into the house. After seeing off Manager Wang's men, Jiang Yuwei asked the fool to stay in the shop to clean.
Jiang Yuwei was thinking that since there was something in the shop, someone had to guard it. She had to buy some bedding and spread it in the backyard, and let the fool live here to help guard the shop, only then would she feel at ease.
So Jiang Yuwei first drove the ox cart to the vegetable market to buy some food, then went to the grocery store to buy a set of bedding and pillows, and also thoughtfully prepared a set of toiletries and cooking tools for the fool, and then hurried to her own shop.
But as soon as he entered the door, he saw several strong men blocking the shop and confronting the fool.
