Chapter 156 Lying Immediately

Shen Xuewei sincerely hopes that someone can persuade them to stop working in the fields.

Upon hearing that she had to tell Grandpa Chen and Grandma Xi, Chen Fanglan immediately hesitated.

"Weiwei, it's not that your aunt doesn't want to help you, it's just that I myself can't say a word in front of your grandparents!"

She has been repeatedly criticized by the elderly couple for several years because of her refusal to remarry.

If she opens her mouth, the old couple might bring up the old story again, and she'll be in trouble too.

Shen Xuewei then talked about the benefits of her summer vacation at Chen Fanglan's place, "Auntie, think about it, if I go to your place, I can cook for you every day at noon and in the evening, so when you get home from get off work you won't have to cook for yourself or eat out."

"Also, since you work so hard, I'll take care of all your clothes after you change out. I can even give you a shoulder and leg massage... Oh, by the way, don't you like that novelist?"

"I have a way to get her autograph, and even her latest novel, which might not even be published yet..."

Chen Fanglan sat up, and immediately perked up after hearing the last benefit.

Are you telling the truth?

Shen Xuewei retorted, "Auntie, when have I ever lied to you?"

Of course, she had told many lies, but Shen Xuewei had never lied to her about this kind of thing.

Chen Fanglan believed it, but she was also a little curious.

How did you meet her?

Shen Xuewei immediately lied.

"Auntie, she and I have been pen pals for several years, and we have a very good relationship."

"Weren't you curious before about why I had her unpublished novel? That's because she specially sent it to me."

Under multiple temptations, Chen Fanglan ultimately couldn't resist Shen Xuewei's advances and agreed.

After successfully winning over Chen Fanglan, Shen Xuewei smiled broadly.

She talked to Chen Fanglan on the phone for too long, and it was almost time for her three elderly relatives to return home.

After finishing her call with Chen Fanglan, she did not call Chen Fangli as was her habit.

After lighting the fire, she placed the pot on a tripod and waited for it to heat up before scooping in a small spoonful of lard.

After cooking a dish, the three elderly people who had been working in the fields returned home.

Shen Xuewei added a ladle of water to the remaining oil in the pot.

After the water boils, put the washed vegetables in.

After the three rested for a while, Shen Xuewei finished cooking and invited them to come and eat.

When Grandma Xi asked about her situation at school, Shen Xuewei gave the same answer as before.

Shen Xuewei quickly finished her meal, wiped her mouth, and ran to the phone to call Chen Fangli.

As soon as she left, Grandma Xi fell silent.

Grandma Chen continued to eat her rice slowly, while her new baby lay affectionately at her feet.

Shen Xuewei was talking to Chen Fangli on the other end of the phone. They were talking about pretty much the same things over and over, but the two of them just liked to chat.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xuewei thought about how she hadn't been to the Chu family for three weeks and felt a little homesick.

She decided that when she returned to school on Sunday, she would leave early, walk to Fuxing Village to visit them, and then go back to school.

Big Yellow came over and rubbed against her.

Shen Xuewei carefully examined the dog and, after confirming that Dahuang hadn't eaten any feces, stroked it from head to toe.

When Mimi, who was lying at Granny Chen's feet, saw this, she ran over with her tail held high, lay down in front of Shen Xuewei, and meowed twice.

Shen Xuewei then coiled it twice and, as she wished, heard Mimi's purring sound.

Unlike the previous relationship between Mimi and Dahuang, which was like fire and water... oh no, it was a one-sided bullying of Dahuang by Mimi.

Now Mimi and Dahuang get along well and are a loving family.

When Mimi came, Dahuang even turned his body to the side to make room for her.

Seeing the harmonious interaction, Shen Xuewei smiled with satisfaction.

The three elderly people in the family eat slowly; they finished their meal after eight o'clock.

After collecting the dishes and washing them, Shen Xuewei tidied up the house before getting dressed to take a shower.

It was already 9:30 when I sat down at my desk to do my homework.

Shen Xuewei spent an hour and a half completing all the homework assigned by her teachers before turning off the lights and going to sleep peacefully.

The next morning, when she got up, her grandmother had already prepared breakfast.

It was supposed to be breakfast, but it was really just a pot of porridge.

The four people drank plain porridge, and according to their own habits, they added fermented black beans, pickled vegetables, or sugar to the porridge.

Shen Xuewei was at the age where she was growing, and she ate three bowls of white porridge in a row, making her belly bulge.

After finishing her breakfast, she put down her bowl and led the family's yellow ox to graze on the back hill.

After returning home, Grandpa Chen and his two companions had already prepared their things and were waiting for her to go to the fields together.

After a long day of working in the fields, Shen Xuewei was exhausted when she got home in the evening.

She vowed that after these few years, she would never farm again.

On Sunday morning, after spending half a day with her three elderly relatives, Shen Xuewei went home early.

After taking a quick shower to wash away the sweat, Shen Xuewei ate some leftovers, then slung her schoolbag over her shoulder and walked along the road to Fuxing Village.

Chen Fangli is four months pregnant, and her belly is slightly protruding, but not yet very noticeable.

Shen Xuewei kept nagging her, "Second Aunt, you're pregnant now, so try to do as little farm work as possible. Don't tire yourself out, and don't tire out the baby in your belly..."

Chen Fangli looked at Shen Xuewei, who seemed like an adult, with a gentle expression. "Okay, Auntie understands. Auntie will definitely listen to you."

“We haven’t been farming much land lately, just a few acres. Your second aunt’s husband has been doing all the work.”

“De’an is much more sensible now. On weekends when he doesn’t have school, he will go to the fields with the children.”

Shen Xuewei looked around. "Haven't they come back yet?"

"They didn't come back; they went back to the fields after lunch."

She said regretfully, "I didn't know you would come today. I should have told him not to go earlier. He's been saying he wants to see you every day these past few days."

Shen Xuewei regretted not telling her second aunt beforehand the night before last. "It's all my fault. I was thinking of just stopping by to see you before heading back to school. I didn't tell you in advance..."

Chen Fangli patted her, "It's not your fault. Your aunt is very happy that you came. I'm free at home anyway, so I'll bring De'an back to see you next week when you have your holiday."

"good."

Shen Xuewei smiled, pursing her lips.

She only stayed at the Chu family's house for an hour before taking a car back to school.

Chen Fangli and she went to wait by the roadside together.

The car stopped, and the moment Shen Xuewei stepped onto the car, she slipped twenty yuan into Shen Xuewei's hand.

"Study hard, and take a break if you get tired. Don't take your grandfather's words to heart too much. If you're hungry, buy some food so you don't stunt your growth."

After she finished speaking, she took two steps back and watched Shen Xuewei leave.

The wheels had already started moving slowly. Shen Xuewei stood on the vehicle, clutching the twenty-yuan bill in her hand, waving at her and shouting:

"Second Aunt, I've got it. Don't worry."
