Chapter 408
Not to mention Zhang Jia, just talking about Zhao Lijuan, the movements are also very unusual.
After chatting with Zhou Shuwan last time, Zhong Tiyun continued to maintain a friendly relationship with Zhao Lijuan without making a fuss, sending her some food from time to time.
Stewed potatoes, baked potatoes, a few handfuls of vegetables, a dozen eggs, and sometimes even half a frozen chicken as a luxury.
Zhao Lijuan always felt a little embarrassed: "Sister Yun, you are so kind! You always bring me so many delicious foods."
Zhong Tiyun always said, "Lijuan, you're all alone here, without any relatives or friends. I feel bad seeing you like a younger sister. Don't feel burdened. The things I sent you are just what we eat at home, they're not expensive. You've helped us run the store so much, so it's normal for me to send you a little more food."
Such warm and thoughtful attitude touched Zhao Lijuan, who said she would take good care of the grocery store and reassure the Zhou family.
Zhong Tiyun patted her shoulder and smiled more amiably.
Zhao Lijuan knew that Qi Mingyu and Zhou Shuwan were cold towards her, so she focused her target on Zhong Tiyun. When she came to the grocery store to help, she would always try to find out about Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu's daily schedule and living habits.
"Sister Yun, Wanwan and Mr. Qi are so busy every day. They're really hard-working." She asked casually while tidying the shelves, "What do they like to eat?"
Zhong Tiyun seemed completely defenseless and said casually, "Wanwan likes spicy food, while Xiaoyu prefers lighter food."
She was also sorting out the boxes of soap in her hands, but her eyes fell on Zhao Lijuan's face, observing the subtle changes in her expression.
Zhao Lijuan continued to smile, not revealing her true feelings. "I'm from the south, and I'm good at making chili sauce. Sister Yun, I'll try to make some vegetable chili sauce when you give me the vegetables you gave me."
Zhong Tiyun quickly said, "That's too polite. Chili peppers are very expensive these days."
"It's okay, you're welcome, Sister Yun. You treat me as your sister, and I treat you as my sister. Wanwan is like my junior, and I like her very much. I happen to have some extra dried chilies, enough for making chili sauce."
Zhong Tiyun had no choice but to agree: "Okay, thank you. But the oil, salt, sauces, etc. will all have to be paid for by my family. These things are quite expensive nowadays, so I can't take them for free."
Zhao Lijuan pretended to be angry: "Sister Yun, you still treat me as an outsider."
"Okay, okay, then I'll do as you say." Zhong Tiyun seemed helpless and sighed with a smile.
Zhao Lijuan finally became happy: "The chili sauce I made is very delicious. I guarantee you will want to eat it again after you have tried it."
After returning, Zhong Tiyun told Zhao Lijuan that she had always wanted to make chili sauce for Zhou Shuwan.
Zhou Shuwan said, "Mom, it's okay, let her do what she wants. How can a fox show its tail if it doesn't do something? But, Mom, every time you are alone with her, you must call me or Brother Xiaoyu to watch outside, understand? Never go to see her alone!"
Although she felt that if the other party was really the leader of the cannibal gang, he would have gone to such great lengths to disguise himself and get close to them, and his motive must be big, but he would not do something like kidnapping someone.
If you want to kidnap someone, there's no need to go through so much trouble.
But it's better to be careful.
Zhong Tiyun said, "Don't worry, Mom knows. I've been very careful these past few days. Since you're not free today, I asked Xiaoyu to go with me, and he's hiding outside."
Zhou Shuwan nodded with relief.
That day, Zhou Shuwan followed Zhang Jia out to look for a coal mine, Qi Mingyu went to the security team, and only Zhong Tiyun, Zhou Jianghai, Mu Mu and Grandma Pang were at home. Zhao Lijuan used the excuse of delivering some homemade chili sauce to visit them.
"Oh, it's Lijuan. Come in and sit down!" Zhong Tiyun's face was full of smiles, and she warmly welcomed Zhao Lijuan in.
Although he was wary of Zhao Lijuan in his heart, he did not show it on his face.
Zhao Lijuan was wearing a slightly worn down jacket with a mink coat on the outside. She took off the mink coat after entering the house and smiled gently: "Sister Yun, I'm sorry to bother you. Your house is really warm."
"There are elderly people and children at home!" Zhong Tiyun poured water for the other party.
Zhao Lijuan took out a few cans and placed them on the coffee table: "Sister Yun, I made some chili sauce. Let's see if Wanwan likes it."
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I came here and you actually made chili sauce." Zhong Tiyun said as she took a look and saw that it was indeed chili sauce made from vegetables.
Zhou Jianghai was cooking in the kitchen. When he heard the noise, he stuck his head out with a simple smile on his face: "Lijuan is here, come and sit down."
The whole family has been to the grocery store, so they all know each other.
Grandma Pang, who was sitting in a rocking chair by the window, also greeted them.
"Brother Dahai, you're home too." Zhao Lijuan smiled and greeted Zhou Jianghai: "Where's Mumu? Not home?"
"He's in the bedroom. I wonder what he's busy with." Zhong Tiyun brought over some hot water, took the jar, opened the lid, and a strong aroma of chili peppers wafted into his nose.
"Oh, it smells so good!" Zhong Tiyun praised, "Lijuan, your cooking skills are really good."
"As long as Sister Yun likes it," Zhao Lijuan said with a smile, but her eyes unconsciously glanced towards the stairs, "Aren't Wanwan and Mr. Qi at home?"
Zhong Tiyun said calmly, "They are all busy. Wanwan is not at home. She went out to do something. Xiaoyu went to the security team. It seems that something happened. She left in a hurry early in the morning."
Since she wants to know, just tell her clearly.
Zhao Lijuan's eyes flickered: "If there is anything at home that needs me to do, the young people are not here, Sister Yun, please don't be polite to me."
Is this an opportunity to find out the distribution pattern of the Zhou family?
Zhong Tiyun grumbled in her heart, but she still smiled: "You've come to my house so hard, how can I ask you to help with the work? It's okay, Dahai and Mumu are at home. Don't worry. You sit down, I'll go to the kitchen to get you some snacks."
Zhong Tiyun went to the kitchen.
The sounds of cutting and frying vegetables could be heard from the kitchen, clanging and clacking, it was very lively.
Zhao Lijuan turned her head and found that Grandma Pang had entered the bedroom at some point and disappeared.
Sitting alone in the empty living room, the alertness developed from years of experience in life and death made her immediately aware of the crisis.
She didn't care that the hair on her arms stood up and stood up immediately.
"Sister Yun, don't bother." She faked a smile, her hand touched the bulging pistol on her waist, but she slowly walked towards the kitchen.
Outside the terrace, there were several figures lying in the shadows. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice them at all.
Zhao Lijuan breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the kitchen door. The more she listened, the more she felt that there was no sound inside except the sound of cooking. She narrowed her eyes and was about to pull out the gun from her waist.
