Chapter 364 Did you hear the gossip?

The dividends ranged from fifty to one hundred taels. Bai Ruozhu thought it was already very good. If it came to more than 400 taels all at once, it would definitely be a huge amount. Thinking back to when she sold fresh soup noodles and took thirty taels of silver home, she was already extremely nervous, fearing that someone would steal or rob her.

But Bai Ruozhu quickly thought of Du Zhongshu's recent attitude. Is the Du family really willing to give such a large sum of money to an outsider? Thinking about it this way, she thought it would be better if the medicinal materials were deducted from the dividends, which would save her money.

Du Zhongshu saw Bai Ruozhu's thoughts and said with a wry smile: "Don't think too much, I will not deny this dividend to you no matter what."

Bai Ruozhu didn't say anything, but she muttered in her heart: Now she is counting on my improved prescription, so of course she won't give it away. What if she thinks the prescription is enough in the future and doesn't need her anymore?

She was actually very open-minded. If one day she got enough money and happily broke up the gang, she was afraid that the Du family would be greedy and want to get rid of her when cooperation stopped.

It's not that Bai Ruozhu thinks too much, but that living in this era, there are many things that cannot be ignored.

"Of course I believe in Mr. Du's character, but if you have any difficulties, just tell me. You don't have to avoid me all the time." Bai Ruozhu said, staring into Du Zhongshu's eyes.

When Du Zhongshu heard this, he hurriedly averted his eyes, and two red clouds appeared on his face.

"I, I didn't mean that, it's just..." Du Zhongshu didn't know what to say for a moment, and she actually saw that he was deliberately avoiding it!

Bai Ruozhu raised her eyebrows. She wanted to hear Du Zhongshu's explanation.

"It's just that I'm discussing marriage recently, so I have to avoid suspicion." Du Zhongshu gritted his teeth and spoke out.

ah? Is this the reason? Bai Ruozhu was surprised, and also felt a little emotional. Could it be that as an abandoned wife or widow, she couldn't have more contact with people in private, otherwise wouldn't it affect the promising young people's marriage negotiations?

The corner of her mouth twitched, and she had the urge to stand up immediately and write a book of Eucommia ulmoides in place.

At this moment, someone walked into the teahouse from outside, and the shopkeeper greeted him with a smiling face. Bai Ruozhu subconsciously turned her head and glanced, and she was stunned at this sight.

Because it was none other than Jiang Yichun who was wearing a mask.

Jiang Yichun also looked towards her, and then looked at Eucommia ulmoides sitting opposite her.

Bai Ruozhu felt very confused, as if her tryst with someone had been interrupted by Jiang Yichun, but how did he follow her? Are you spying on her?

As a former new-age woman, Bai Ruozhu was very disgusted with being looked at by men and being monitored and not allowed to go out. She turned her head and simply pretended not to see Jiang Yichun.

Jiang Yichun's eyes darkened slightly. He did not answer the shopkeeper's question, but strode towards Bai Ruozhu and the other two.

"Miss Bai, what a coincidence we have met again." Jiang Yichun said.

Bai Ruozhu gritted his teeth secretly, what a coincidence you are.

"Yes, sir, are you here to drink tea too?" But Bai Ruozhu had to treat him politely like a benefactor.

Du Zhongshu glanced at Jiang Yichun in surprise, and then nodded slightly to him, "Du Zhongshu said that, sir."

"There is no need to be polite. An invitation is worse than a chance encounter. Since we have met, why don't we sit upstairs and have a cup of tea together?" Jiang Yichun pointed upstairs, intending to sit in the private room upstairs.

Du Zhongshu's expression changed, as if he wanted to refuse. Bai Ruozhu also frowned slightly. He didn't know what the hell Jiang Yichun was doing. He suddenly appeared here and invited her and Du Zhongshu to have tea. He wanted to show that he was magnanimous. ?

"I'm going to help at the stall later." Bai Ruozhu said a little unhappy.

Jiang Yichun looked at her deeply, with something inexplicable in his eyes, "Sit down for a while, just think of it as a favor to me."

As soon as these words came out, neither Du Zhongshu nor Bai Ruozhu were embarrassed to refuse, otherwise they would not give him face.

After Jiang Yichun finished speaking, he turned around and walked upstairs, and Bai Ruozhu and Du Zhongshu had no choice but to follow.

The shopkeeper led the three people to a private room, then asked what they needed, and then quietly retreated.

"Why aren't you talking? Don't you think I'm nervous?" There was a smile in Jiang Yichun's voice, but because he was wearing a mask, it made people feel serious.

Du Zhongshu bowed to him and said: "It's nothing. Even the elder in my family wants to invite Mrs. Bai to Beiyu City for a talk. He also knows that it is inconvenient for Mrs. Bai to take the child with her, but he has no choice but to do so because my grandfather is old and has I have a heart condition and I really can’t travel far away.”

This was indeed what Du Zhongshu had planned to say to Bai Ruozhu just now, but later Jiang Yichun appeared, so he planned to mention it again the next time he had the chance. But as soon as Jiang Yichun spoke, he felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, so he just said this The matter was told directly.

Maybe it was because he knew that the mysterious man in front of him had deliberately blocked his car, or maybe his intuition told him that the man in front of him was very familiar with Bai Ruozhu.

He once sent a letter to his family asking someone to look up the masked man, but in the end not only was he not able to find out his name, but his family even severely reprimanded him not to cause trouble, saying that he was not someone he could mess with casually. of.

Perhaps it was the youthful spirit or the jealousy in his heart that made Du Zhongshu feel particularly unhappy when he saw Jiang Yichun.

Jiang Yichun glanced at Du Zhongshu coldly. Is this person provoking him?

Bai Ruozhu twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and asked, "Are we talking about cooperation? We've signed the contract a long time ago. Can't everything just go according to the contract?"

She didn't know what Du Zhongshu wanted to do, and why he said it so ambiguously, as if she wanted to meet her parents.

"Grandpa wants to talk to you about more cooperation. He wants to make the toothpaste business even bigger next year. He thinks you have great ideas, so he really wants to meet you." Du Zhongshu said calmly, "Besides, I I heard that your second brother is also going to the academy in Beiyu City to study, wouldn’t it be better if you could go explore the route in advance?”

Bai Ruo didn't speak, thought for a few seconds, and whispered: "I'll discuss it with my family before we discuss it."

The room became quiet again for a while, and the waiter came in with tea and snacks. The three of them brought the tea and started drinking, without even being in a hurry to speak.

Bai Ruozhu glanced at Jiang Yichun quietly. He seemed to be thinking about something and didn't pay attention to the table.

At this time, footsteps came from outside. There were guests in the private room next to it. The sound was not loud, but because it was quiet at the moment and Bai Ruozhu's hearing was very good, I just heard it.

The person who ordered tea over there was an old woman with a slightly hoarse voice. When the guy left, she said impatiently: "Is your medicine really effective? Will no one find out?"

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but pricked up her ears. Could she still hear some gossip? She subconsciously thought that "that medicine" mentioned by the old woman was something with special functions and not suitable for children.
