After Rebirth, Mrs. He Dotes On Her Husband

316 Can’t Leave

Chen Wei’er was befuddled. Although she had never seen someone prepare an osmanthus cake before, she still felt that Old Li’s wife was fooling her.

‘What? The first drop of dew every morning? At least a big pot of it? Is she serious? What is the difference between dew and mineral water? Besides, the dew is not sanitary. Can it be used?’

Chen Wei’er suppressed the doubts in her heart and continued to listen to Old Li’s wife, “There’s also a special requirement for the flour. You have to use the first batch of new flour every autumn! The second batch is sour. The heat control must also be specific. We have to use the hundred-year-old firewood from our mountain…”

Chen Wei’er felt that she figured out the other party’s intention. This person deliberately didn’t want her to succeed. However, it was really impolite to refute others in person, so she could only brace herself and listen. Nevertheless, her head kept aching as she listened.

In the end, Chen Wei’er smiled and thanked Old Li’s wife, and then, she spared a few words, “You’re really amazing. You’re good at both the kitchen and the hall. I didn’t know there were so many things to pay attention to when making osmanthus cakes…”

Wang Hua noticed that Chen Wei’er didn’t bring up the osmanthus cake, so she took the initiative to say, “It’s very troublesome, right? I’ll do it for you. You’re the guests. This is just what I should do!”

Chen Wei’er quickly refused. “How can I accept that? Actually, I don’t really want to eat it now. I just thought that it was interesting to make Osmanthus cakes and wanted to try it.”

“Thank you,” He Xun said. “Let’s go back and try it out.”

Old Li and his wife, Wang Hua, looked at each other and exchanged a look.

Wang Hua laughed. “You young people are good at cooking. Go back and try it. It’ll definitely taste better than mine!”

“We’ll try it when we return,” Chen Wei’er replied casually.

“You’re our guests,” Old Li continued. “You have come all the way to our Osmanthus Village. You are doing good deeds. We’ll definitely treat you well!”

He Xun smiled and refused. “We are leaving tomorrow. We are already very content to see such beautiful osmanthus flowers here.”

Old Li was a little anxious. “If you’re in such a hurry, stay for two more days. We haven’t even thanked you properly! How about this? We’ll have dinner at the village entrance at 8 o’clock in the evening and treat you well!”

When Chen Wei’er heard this, she and He Xun looked at each other.

He Xun’s eyes suddenly turned cold. He stopped smiling and held Chen Wei’er in his arms. “I’ll accept your invitation then. My wife and I will be there at 8 o’clock. Thank you, village chief.”

Old Li’s eyes curved into crescents as he smiled. “That’s just what I should do. You two can return first. You must come at 8 o’clock!”

“Yes.” Chen Wei’er squeezed out a smile and walked out of the village head’s house with He Xun.

The couple also walked out of the village. Actually, it wasn’t really walking out. The distance wasn’t far from Osmanthus Village. Otherwise, He Xun and Chen Wei’er wouldn’t have walked over. They were silent all the way.

When they reached the RV, they tightly shut the door and snugly hugged each other.

Chen Wei’er spoke with a muffled voice, “What are these people trying to do? I keep feeling that something is wrong…”

He Xun replied, “They might be trying to rob us. They will hold us captive and ask for ransom. Today, that woman offered to make osmanthus cakes for us, but she doesn’t have any good intentions. Maybe she’s going to put something in the osmanthus cakes.”

Chen Wei’er also nodded in He Xun’s arms. It was as if she was still afraid.

“I was in their courtyard just now. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. I was afraid that they would lock the door on the spot!”

He Xun patted Chen Wei’er’s back.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

Chen Wei’er pursed her lips and said, “Then, what should we do tonight? Why don’t we just run away now?”

He Xun was silent for a while before he said, “Do you want to run? Or do you want to see what they’re up to?”

“I’m scared.” Chen Wei’er tightly burrowed into He Xun’s arms. When she recalled the expressions of the village chief and his wife, she was really worried about her and He Xun’s safety. Besides, she had already experienced the same kind of incident with Nie Suijing once. She didn’t want to take any more risks.

“We have a few bodyguards with us… If you’re afraid, we’ll leave immediately.” He Xun gently kissed her forehead. It seemed like he didn’t need to say anything more. He said directly, “I’ll get the bodyguard and the driver. We’ll leave now!”

“Hurry up! Don’t let them find us!” Chen Wei’er nodded and urged.

Although the bodyguards were skilled and He Xun also knew martial arts, they were outnumbered. There were so many young people in the village. If they were surrounded and couldn’t escape, it would be over.

A deep sense of fear rose in Chen Wei’er’s heart. She was afraid that she and He Xun would really encounter some problems here.

As soon as He Xun opened the door, he saw a few young and strong men in the village looking up and down around the RV.
