Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Kicked Out
After walking for about two or three hundred meters, the old man stopped at a crossroads and pointed to the right.
Jiang Yan followed his pointing direction and was instantly dumbfounded.
Right there beside a towering tree sat a shabby little house, constructed of wood and full of historical character.
There wasn’t even a proper landing spot at the door, and after the recent rain, it was all wet, muddy, and mixed with weeds.
It was the spitting image of an old haunted house in a horror movie.
Jiang Yan had seen this house before, but it was so old and dilapidated that he had completely ignored it.
He hadn’t expected anyone to actually live there.
In an instant, the smile that had just been excited about finding a place to stay froze on his face.
Yet, the old man seemed completely unaware and cheerfully beckoned him inside.
Jiang Yan hesitated at the door, hoe in hand.
“It’s fine, it’s better than sleeping on rocks for a few nights!”
At this point, he could only comfort himself with that thought.
So, he took a step and entered the house.
As he had imagined, it was dark, cold, and damp inside, but thankfully it was the beginning of summer, so the coolness was somewhat pleasant.
The old man seemed very happy to have him there, wiping the table, pouring water, with a constant smile on his face.
But Jiang Yan really couldn’t understand his gestures and could only nod and take the water.
[The old man is really nice, he doesn’t despise Jiang Yan at all.] ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
[Jiang Yan is much quieter now, finally resembling a proper person. It seems that only someone like the old man could tame him.]
However, no sooner had he swallowed a few sips of water than his stomach started growling loudly.
The situation was awkward for a moment.
Jiang Yan just remembered that he had only eaten on the plane today and had been busy until now, only to have a sip of water.
Thinking about Jiang Li staying in the village chief’s large house, eating and drinking well, he felt extremely resentful and cursed “fuck”.
The old man seemed to have heard his belly’s continuous rumbles, too, and quickly went out again without even bothering to change his shoes.
A moment later, he returned with a bowl of porridge and a hard bun in his hands.
Jiang Yan understood this time and pointed to the items in his hand, “Is this for me to eat?”
The old man nodded and placed the items on the table.
Looking at the bland porridge and the dry, hard bun, Jiang Yan fell into silence.
He, who was used to seafood porridge and exotic delicacies, genuinely couldn’t muster any enthusiasm for these two kinds of food.
He’d rather go hungry.
But the old man across from him kept gesturing for him to eat and his eyes were filled with a hopeful glow.
Jiang Yan had no choice.
That’s just the way he was—if he encountered someone with a strong attitude, he could be even more headstrong, but when faced with vulnerable groups, he was helpless.
He couldn’t just use his capital to bully the weak, that would be too shameful.
Reluctantly, he just sighed heavily and lifted the porridge to take a sip with a furrowed brow.
Just as he had imagined, it was completely tasteless.
But the audience in the live streaming room didn’t let him off the hook at all.
[I really can’t even, the young master is now in the countryside and still thinking about a feast, he should be happy there’s food at all.]
[Yeah, maybe the old man gave him the last of his own food and he’s still complaining.]
[No, why are you guys so full of resentment? Jiang Yan used to be a rich young master in the Capital, it’s his first time coming to such a place and eating this kind of food, doesn’t he need some time to adapt?]
