A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 298 A cup of tea

Song Ning returned home and exchanged glances with Aunt Wang, and they both smiled knowingly.

Hang Shuheng knew everything about the affair between the two of them. He drank his tea calmly and glanced at Wang Jin, the only one who was kept in the dark.

The uninformed person was still talking, "When I came from the village entrance just now, I saw a large open space at the foot of the mountain from afar. Is that where the workshop is going to be built?"

Hang Shuheng nodded and said, "It's close to the mountains and the water. It's very convenient whether it's going up the mountain to cut wood or going down the river to get water."

Wang Jin chuckled twice and said jokingly, "If I can't make it in the county government in the future, I'd like to ask Hang Tongsheng to give me a job for the sake of our acquaintance."

"That's great. If Constable Wang comes, I'll at least give you a position as a manager and won't let you go hungry." Hang Shuheng was not joking.

Wang Jin was an educated man. Hang Shuheng had seen his handwriting before and could tell that his handwriting was quite good and he must have put in a lot of effort to learn it when he was in school.

In the future, when business is underway, it will be easy to find people to run errands, but it will be difficult to find a manager who can read. If Wang Jin is willing to come, Hang Shuheng will naturally be very welcome.

In the Sun family, Sun Baomei was a person who didn’t like to go out. In the words of later generations, she was a super homebody.

But knowing that she had to thank her benefactor in person, she, as the rescued person, naturally had to be present. On this point, she never thought of escaping.

So, at the urging of her old mother, she packed up her things simply, walked out of the room, and went to the Hang family with her parents.

Sun Baomei was still very nervous about meeting strangers. Along the way, she kept rehearsing in her mind what she would do and what she would say when she met the people.

When she arrived at the Hang's house, her palms were full of sweat, and the handkerchief in her hands was almost squeezed wet.

Sun Baomei took a deep breath nervously before following her parents into the gate of the Hang family. After entering, she kept her head down and did not dare to look at anyone.

"Uncle, aunt, Baomei, you are here!" Song Ning went forward to greet them enthusiastically, then turned back to the mother and son of the Wang family with some apology and said, "Auntie, Constable Wang, I hope you don't mind. I was the one who asked Uncle and Aunt Sun to come."

"It's okay, it's okay. Of course we don't mind." Aunt Wang cooperated and said that she didn't mind. Wang Jin didn't have any objection. After all, they were just guests. There was nothing to mind about having guests come to the host's house.

Wang Jin said, "You guys have something to say, why don't we step aside for a while?"

"No need to avoid it. They came here today to thank you in person for saving their lives." Song Ning explained, "The girl you rescued from the river last time was their girl. The Sun family has been looking for an opportunity to thank you in person!"

"It's just a small favor, there's no need to do this." Wang Jin never thought that he was the protagonist. "Besides, if Lady Hang was there that day, even if I rescued the person from the river, I wouldn't have helped him later."

"Constable Wang, you have done me a great favor by rescuing my daughter in time." At this time, Uncle Sun and Auntie also hurried forward and said, "Whether it is you or Shuheng's wife, you two are great benefactors of our Sun family."

"You can think of it as a simple favor, but we can't take it for granted." Aunt Sun said, pulling Sun Baomei out from behind, "Baomei, come and thank your lifesaver."

Sun Baomei was forced to stand in front of Wang Jin. She kept her head down and only dared to look at the area below his neck.

She hesitated for a moment, pretending to be calm and bowed to the other party, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum, "Thank you very much for saving my life."

"No, no need to be so polite." Wang Jin turned sideways and did not accept her full greeting.

Song Ning handed over a cup of tea at the right time, "Since you are expressing your sincere gratitude, let's offer a cup of tea, which will also make it more solemn."

Aunt Wang and Aunt Sun looked at each other quickly. It was Shuheng's wife who really knew how to handle things!

Wang Jin was stunned. He didn't expect that Madam Hang was such a person who paid so much attention to formalities.

Hang Shuheng could only hold his forehead in his hand in silence. When did his wife become so fond of stirring up trouble? At first she just spoke nicely and offered suggestions, but now she is worrying about it!

He could only clear his throat and said, "The favor of saving my life is as heavy as a mountain, Constable Wang, you deserve it."

Sun Baomei took the teacup, feeling a little overwhelmed. She turned around to look at her parents. She had almost used up all her courage in saying just one word.

Aunt Sun hurriedly urged: "Baomei, hurry up and offer tea to your benefactor!" After saying that, she kept encouraging her with her eyes.

Encouraged by her mother, Sun Baomei turned around, still with her head down, and handed the teacup to Wang Jin, "Well, benefactor, please have some tea."

Sun Baomei was petite, and Wang Jin was much taller than her. She was lowering her head, so from Wang Jin's angle, he couldn't see her face. He could only see her snow-white forehead hidden under her bangs and her fluttering eyelashes.

He was only slightly distracted, and Aunt Wang patted his arm and said, "Silly boy, what are you standing there for? The girl is holding a teacup!"

Wang Jin reacted immediately, feeling a little embarrassed, and reached out to take the teacup.

Inadvertently, his fingertips touched Sun Baomei's slightly cold fingers.

Sun Baomei was startled and her hands shook, causing the warm tea in the cup to spill out, scalding her so much that she subconsciously let go.

Wang Jin missed the cup and saw it was about to fall to the ground. Without thinking too much, he leaned over and steadily caught the cup in mid-air.

As soon as he looked up, he met the frightened eyes of the little girl, and the two of them maintained this posture and looked at each other for a while.

This was a sudden accident. Soon, Auntie Wang, who was closest to the scene, reacted first and quickly took out a handkerchief to help Sun Baomei wipe her hands. "Oh, my good girl, I didn't burn you!"

After saying that, he turned his head and scolded Wang Jin, "What's wrong with you? You can't even catch a cup of tea. Look, you burned the girl's hand red."

Aunt Wang started scolding people right away. Sun Baomei felt very guilty because it was obviously her fault for not serving the tea properly that things turned out like this.

She apologized hastily: "Yes, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I didn't hold it properly." She spoke anxiously and seemed to stumble. Her eyes were slightly red, as was her little face. She couldn't tell whether it was because of anxiety or shyness.

Wang Jin stood up straight and glanced at Sun Baomei's fingers. They were a little red.

Seeing that the little girl was about to cry, he comforted her: "It's not your fault, I didn't catch it well. Fortunately, not all spilled." After saying that, he blew gently, tilted his head back and drank the tea in the cup.
