Chapter 138 (1/2)
”Well, everything is packed up. What else can we do? We'll look at Zongye near the hillside, but we don't climb to the top of the mountain.” Zhang Man'er gives him a angry look. His shy little eyes make him feel like he is in a state of mind.
Xue Chuan said, ”OK, let's go.”
It's not long after lunch. The sun is the hottest in the afternoon. These farmers in the village have to have a good meal and go to the fields for farming after a rest. Some of them eat late and sit in the yard with bowls and chopsticks.
”Ah, Xue Chuan, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you in good health?” There are villagers familiar with the call.
”Thank you for your concern. It's much better. The Dragon Boat Festival is coming. Go to the mountain to pick some Zongye.” Xue Chuan said truthfully.
”Oh, there are still two days left? You went so early. ” Aunt Wang said with a smile.
I suddenly remembered what the villagers said. Xue's daughter-in-law had done some small business. Last time, she was still selling zongzi in the town. I heard that the business was good. This time, I will go earlier and pick more zongzi leaves.
”Auntie, let's go first. Do you want Zongye? I'll bring some later. ” Zhang Man'er said.
Aunt Wang was flattered when she heard that the little daughter-in-law was so considerate. Then she said with a smile, ”no, daughter-in-law Xue Chuan, please be busy. Be careful.”
See them go, tall Xue Chuan walk in front, Zhang Man'er in the back is ready to trot to keep up, see Aunt Wang tangled for some time, or pull her.
Seeing no one around, he whispered to her, ”I see your sister-in-law is very close to Bai's daughter recently. You should be careful.”
People in the village are like mirrors. Naturally, she won't be blindfolded.
There must be many people waiting to see her jokes, usually idle on the family, it is inevitable to gossip.
Zhang Man'er showed her delicate side and sighed: ”Auntie, thank you for reminding me that our sister-in-law is spoiled. I can't control who she wants to associate with.”
She had to pretend that she didn't understand. It's her specialty to be a pig and eat a tiger.
Auntie Wang was a little anxious when she saw that she was in a simple mind: ”I don't mean that. No matter how angry my little sister-in-law is, she will eventually marry out. I mean the daughter of Bai family...”
”What happened to Bai's daughter? What does she have to do with the Xue family? Oh, yes, she has a good relationship with Xue Xue. It's normal for two girls of the same age to play together. Ah, my failure as a third sister-in-law can't get along with my sister-in-law. ”
Zhang Man'er looks at him from the left and shows a charming little daughter-in-law incisively and vividly.
Aunt Wang thought, so soft temper, no wonder to be bullied, was separated.
This little daughter-in-law's mind is simple. Don't you know what Bai's daughter thinks of her husband?
I want to remind her, but I'm afraid outsiders can't say too much.
”Well, just pay more attention.”
Some people care about her so much that Zhang Man'er naturally has a warm feeling in her heart. Although she is dressed in coarse cloth, she is clean and tidy. She has a good feeling: ”thank you for your concern, Aunt Wang. Then I'll go to the mountain.”
She said, trotting to keep up with Xue Chuan's steps, and the villagers talked about them wherever they went.
”Ah, it's been a month. See, Xue Chuan is not only alive but also alive. I don't know who brought him back from the gate of hell.”
