Chapter 197 Your Position in My Heart is Even More Different

Chen Xiaogou took the machete and handed it to Fu Xuanheng. Shen Yunyue glanced at him indifferently.

He pointed at the bamboo shoots and said:

"Dig this down a little bit and then cut it off."

Shen Yunyue used gestures to show Fu Xuanheng what to do.

Chen Xiaogou smiled and said:

"Let me do it."

He took the machete and chopped a bamboo shoot in a few strokes, very quickly.

After a while, several bamboo shoots were placed on the ground.

Shen Yunyue picked up one and pinched it. The bamboo shoot was very tender with a faint bamboo fragrance.

"This? It's not that hard." Fu Xuanheng breathed a sigh of relief. At least the tooth was still there.

"It has no taste after being boiled in water. My mouth feels numb and astringent. This thing is really not tasty." Chen Xiaogou thought about it and said something more. After all, the two people in front of him were their financial backers.

I finished the work yesterday and settled the bill.

In the evening, people line up to receive copper coins before going home. The daily payment method also gives people confidence in their work.

Don't worry about the Shen family defaulting on their debt.

"It will definitely not taste good if you just put it in the pot and cook it like this. The bamboo shoots need to be blanched first." Shen Yunyue explained lightly.

“Bamboo shoots are very oil-intensive.”

She stood up and called out to Daniu, "Daniu, bring a basket over here. Pick up the bamboo shoots."

"Hey." Da Niu agreed and ran over with the basket.

"Ms. Yue."

"I picked up these bamboo shoots and added a fresh dish."

Da Niu looked at him hesitantly. He and Er Niu had eaten raw bamboo shoots when they had no food to eat.

There's a shadow on this thing.

Da Niu swallowed what he was about to say and obediently picked up all the bamboo shoots.

The people working in the forest also saw what happened.

Someone couldn't help but say:

"The Shen family is practically eating bamboo. Will they even have enough copper coins to pay us wages?"

"I gave them all last night. Not one less."

"Yesterday is yesterday, and today is today." The person who spoke glanced over worriedly.

The rest of the people didn't dare to speak.

Li Gouduo snorted in disdain, "Wang Dana, don't be ungrateful. If you're really scared, get out of here right now."

Wang Dana, who was worried about not getting any money, suddenly laughed awkwardly: "I didn't say anything, what can you do?"

"Just kidding."

Wang Dana was reluctant to leave.

Last night, in addition to ten copper coins, I also got a pound of wolf meat.

I haven't eaten meat in the past.

Wang Dana and his family had a very satisfying meal last night, so it doesn’t matter if there is no wolf meat today. Ten copper coins are not that easy to earn.

"Wang Dana, who's kidding you? If you say that again, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

Li Gouduo's expression changed as he spoke.

Fu Xuanheng stood not far away, glancing at them coldly. He turned to look at Chen Xiaogou and said coldly:

"You're good at building houses, but these people also need management. Let Li Gouduo be your deputy to manage them."

Chen Xiaogou quickly agreed.

He walked over, glanced at Wang Dana, and said unhappily:

"I don't want to hear that next time. The Shen and Fu families still have brick and tile houses to build in the future, so those who want to follow them should keep their mouths shut.

From now on, Li Gouduo will be my deputy. When I'm not around, everyone will listen to him."

Wang Dana wanted to refute.

But then he thought that Chen Xiaogou was the best at flattery, and he had become familiar with that cold-faced young man in just a day or two.

He vaguely became the leader of this group. The other people in Baijia Village had no objection, as long as there was work to do and copper coins to be earned, they were happy.

Fu Xuanheng saw that Chen Xiaogou had subdued the group of people.

Then he turned around and walked home with Shen Yunyue.

"Yunyue. Today, the houses of my great-grandfather and grandfather will be completed, and we will also build two houses first."

Fu Xuanheng's subtext is: Don't stay at your parents' house at night.

"So fast?" Shen Yunyue looked around.

"You don't want it so soon?"

Shen Yunyue looked at Fu Xuanheng speechlessly, "Xuanheng. Can we trust you a little more?"

"Yes. As long as you can make me feel safe."

Shen Yunyue: .... It's another day when I want to beat the shit out of Fu Xuanheng.

"Fu Xuanheng, what are you thinking about every day?" Shen Yunyue was used to being with him and didn't think about it that way at all.

We know that people in ancient times got married early. For example, the queens and concubines of Kangxi gave birth to children at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

However, Shen Yunyue had no such thoughts.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, people generally got married and had children at the age of fifteen.

Fu Xuanheng clenched his fists and pressed them against his nose, with a smile that he couldn't help but smile at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

"A furious tigress."

Shen Yunyue rolled up her sleeves and cursed, "I will not give up until I fight you to the death today.

See if I am a tigress?"

Relying on his great strength, Fu Xuanheng did not dare to really escape even though he was good at light work.

Shen Yunyue caught Fu Xuanheng and started pinching him hard.

The sound of their laughter was particularly pleasant at the foot of the mountain.

Shen Yunzheng heard the sound and rushed over with his small wooden dagger.

"Sister, let me help you."

Fu Xuansheng also ran a few steps, "Sister-in-law, let me help you." After he ran a few steps, he suddenly remembered that that was his favorite elder brother.

He stopped in his tracks, feeling awkward and standing there lamenting:

"It's over. What am I going to do next?"

Shen Yunzheng rushed over and hit Fu Xuanheng with his butt, "Ahhhh. Brother-in-law, you are not allowed to dodge."

Fu Xuanheng grabbed the clothes on the back of Shen Yunzheng's neck and looked at his short legs kicking in the air with contempt.

"You have short legs and run so slowly."

Shen Yunzheng: ... "Sister, my brother-in-law actually looks down on me."

Shen Yunyue reached out and picked up Shen Yunzheng.

Rubbing his soft hair, she coaxed him softly, "It's okay. Just look down on him."

Shen Yunzheng curled his lips and said:

"I don't dare. He won't give me snacks."

Fu Xuanheng glanced at Fu Xuansheng who was standing halfway, and said with a cold expression:

"What are you standing there for? Yun Zheng knows how to help his sister, don't you know how to help your sister-in-law?"

Fu Xuansheng moved over hesitantly.

With his head almost lowered to the ground, he spoke softly:

"Brother, I'm sorry. I, I..." Fu Xuansheng looked at his toes pitifully. He didn't know how to explain.

Suddenly, Fu Xuansheng felt so useless.

Tears as big as beans fell.

Shen Yunyue came over and held Fu Xuansheng in her arms, comforting him softly:

"Don't cry. Your elder brother has a bad temper. Let's ignore him."

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. It was my fault." Fu Xuansheng sobbed.

Shen Yunyue understood Fu Xuansheng's desire for Fu Xuanheng's care and affection. He was only six or seven years old, and both his parents were no longer alive.

For Fu Xuansheng, Fu Xuanheng is like a father in his heart.

"What's wrong with you crying like a little man?" Fu Xuanheng pulled Fu Xuansheng out of Shen Yunyue's arms unhappily.

Shen Yunyue's frown moved.

I feel like getting angry.

Fu Xuanheng glanced at her sideways, then touched Fu Xuansheng's head. "The boys in our Fu family shed blood but not tears, you know? Didn't I tell you that when encountering anything, your sister-in-law comes first?"

"Even if one day you see me standing on opposite sides of your sister-in-law, you must stand on her side without hesitation."

Fu Xuanheng's voice was cold, as always.

But it made Shen Yunyue feel warm in her heart.

"I understand. I'm sorry." Fu Xuansheng wiped his nose with his sleeve. "Brother, I apologize to my sister-in-law."

"Just remember it next time." Fu Xuanheng didn't have the patience to coax him, but when he glanced at Shen Yunyue's irritable look, he suppressed his inner unhappiness.

In his eyes, he had no idea why Fu Xuansheng was crying.

If he were that age, his father would have thrown him into a dark room as punishment if he saw him crying like this.

Children nowadays are spoiled.

Fu Xuanheng rubbed Fu Xuansheng's head halfheartedly.

"Okay, stop crying. Go play with Yunzheng."

"Okay." Fu Xuansheng obediently walked to the side with Shen Yunzheng.

Shen Yun was about to open his mouth to support Fu Xuansheng, but swallowed the words back.

never mind.

I didn't dare to argue with the angry Fu Xuanheng.

Afraid of being beaten...

After seeing them leave.

Fu Xuanheng walked to Shen Yunyue's side, and the two of them continued to walk together, one in front and the other behind.

"Xuan Heng." Shen Yunyue, who was walking in front, spoke.

"Um."

"Be nicer to Xuan Sheng from now on. This poor kid is like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees you."

"good."

Shen Yunyue turned around and almost bumped into Fu Xuanheng.

He grabbed me.

"What's up?"

"Are you not convinced?"

The ice in Fu Xuanheng's eyes softened. "I'm not dissatisfied. I'm just angry that Xuan Sheng didn't listen. I clearly told him that he would stand by you no matter what happens."

"He's still young, you have a different status in his heart."

Fu Xuanheng moved his lips and whispered, "Your position in my heart is even more different."

When Shen Yunyue heard these words, she felt a subtle touch in her heart.

Fu Xuanheng restrained his expression, looked in the direction of the Shen family and said coldly:

"Let's go back."

He held Shen Yunyue's hand and walked towards home.

A carriage came from Baijia Village.

As everyone knows, no one from Baijia Village came to look for them in a horse-drawn carriage.

Unless these people in the back mountain.

Two carriages came quickly towards the back mountain.

In addition to the carriage driver, Ou Ruoyang was also walking towards the Shen family with Peng Xiyue and several children, as well as several other women and children who often helped Shen Yunyue.

Shen Yunyue frowned.

"I'll go over and take a look."

She saw that Ou Ruoyang and the others looked unhappy.
