C73 (1/2)
Liu Shufang laughed to herself. She didn't have the guts to touch other people's stuff.
However, on the surface, she pretended to be very concerned. She went forward and patted Li Guizhen's back and softly asked, ”Aunt, what's wrong?”
”Stay away from me.”
Li Guizhen remembered that her hand had grabbed Hashima, and she pushed Liu Shufang away, with obvious disgust in her voice.
”…”
Liu Shufang staggered back a few steps, almost falling to the ground. She did not make a sound, with her head lowered. She slowly walked away from Liu Shufang's side, giving off the feeling that she was too angry to speak.
”Young wife of the Yu family, you're in the wrong. Hai Tao's wife was stopped by you, and now you're treating her like this. Isn't this bullying others?”
”That's right, this is my new wife. She just came to our village and you're already bullying her!”
”This is too outrageous. Isn't it just that I owe you some money?” Is there a need to treat Hai Tao's new wife this way? ”
Some of the villagers under the tree didn't like Li Guizhen's character. One of them raised his head and started to talk, while the others started to jeer, making Li Guizhen sound like a mouse crossing the street.
”What is it? What's wrong with me? ”
Li Guizhen was quite rude as well. She shouted at the crowd in displeasure. That pile of Hash leeches had a hint of smell to it, so what if she was disgusted by it?
”Bullying my new wife!”
Second Aunt Li saw it clearly from up close. She owed Hai Tao's wife a debt of money, so she went to the basket to take the initiative to harass her and almost push down her new wife. Wasn't this bullying what?
”Go, what do you know? Her basket was filled with toads and it was extremely disgusting. How could a new wife like this? ”
Li Guizhen was not satisfied with the fact that she had been attacked by a group of people. She loudly defended herself.
Liu Shufang ignored her and headed straight home, feeling even more regretful about her actions today.
Ning Hai Feng followed behind her and witnessed everything. She watched Liu Shufang being bullied, and not only did she not come out to help, but she also took pleasure in her misfortune.
At noon, Ning Haitao rushed back from the county. As soon as he entered, he smiled happily.
”It went smoothly?”
Liu Shufang was in the courtyard, lighting seeds to water her husband. Seeing her husband's happy expression, she smiled and asked him.
”Pass.”
Ning Haitao's voice was full of joy. He went up to his wife and took the spoon from her hand, turning around with her in his arms, grinning from ear to ear.
”Great! I'll fry the Hash Lees for you at noon. I'll go cook them now.”
Liu Shufang had already cleaned up the Hashima and pickled it. She didn't catch enough today, as a couple of pounds wouldn't be enough for her to go to the county.
”Didn't I forbid you to go?”
Ning Hai Tao was unhappy and put her on the ground. The water in the ditch was cold, so what if the ice was broken?
”It's fine, the water is warm.”
Liu Shufang knew he was in love with her, so she raised her chin happily and smiled sweetly!
”I won't allow it from now on. Today, I heard that you will be leaving with someone in eight days. You have to learn how to take care of yourself in the future.”
When Ning Haitao said this, the excitement in his starry eyes died down. Worry welled up in his heart.
He stroked Liu Shufang's hair, feeling reluctant to part with her.
”Alright, I understand. Hurry up and tell mom about the good news. She's really impatient.”
Liu Shufang pulled her husband into the house to report the good news. Her mother-in-law had been sitting by the window all morning, looking at the door as she waited for her son to return.
”You go tell them, I'll cook.”
