The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.
...Chapter 364: Fear of being infected
This chapter is actually Chapter 364, the content is correct, but the title was accidentally written wrong, because the title author cannot modify it, so... let's just make do with it, I'm really sorry——
"
I don't like to hear this, what do you mean, do you look down on me?" Shen Quan curled his lips, "I just told you, this happened to me yesterday."
"But it's just a feeling of sadness at the moment. It will be fine after that period passes."
"You, just think about other things and you'll forget about it slowly..."
"Really, brother, you're right to listen to me."
Shen Quan kept talking, and Zhang Lin became curious. "What happened yesterday? How come I didn't know when you found a girl you liked? Who was it? Tell me about it."
"This is a long story..."
Shen Quan first sighed deeply, and after a long silence, he said, "Yesterday was a bright and crisp autumn day. I was patrolling the streets in the afternoon. When I passed by a teahouse, I felt thirsty, so I asked for a bowl of tea."
"While I was drinking tea at the door, I saw a girl of about fifteen or sixteen standing at the door of the rouge shop opposite the teahouse. She was very pretty and I fell in love with her at first sight..."
"And then?" Zhang Lin became more and more interested.
"Then I thought, what is this girl's name, where is her home, how many people are there in her family, and whether she has any brothers or sisters. If she marries me, she will definitely be a virtuous woman who can take good care of her husband and children. By then, we will have a son and a daughter. It would be best if the son is a brother and the daughter is a sister. When the time comes, we will raise the children and get married. The girl and I will grow old together, and we can drink tea in the yard and watch our grandchildren running around..."
"No..." Zhang Lin frowned, "Have you thought about where you two will be buried in the future?"
"Of course not!" Shen Quan said, "It's in my family's ancestral tomb. I've already chosen my spot. I'm just waiting to buy a coffin for it when I die."
Yes, that’s true.
"What happened next?" Zhang Lin asked.
"Then I looked at the girl for a long time. She waited for someone. I don't know if it was her mother or someone else. Anyway, she left without even looking at me..."
Shen Quan sighed again, "All my plans have come to nothing. My love for you was ruthlessly rejected. Tell me, am I a little more miserable than you?"
This is not miserable, this is stupid.
Zhang Lin pouted and moved his butt to the side, fearing that he would get too close to Shen Quan and get infected by him and become stupid again. —— "Aunt San, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Wang entered Wen's yard and showed Wen the things wrapped in the cloth in the small basket. "I just made these vegetable buns at home. I knew Third Aunt liked them, so I brought some for her to try."
"You've taken a lot, so Aunt Han and Daya should have some too."
Wang was smiling and very polite.
Mrs. Wen raised her eyelids and glanced at her, saying in a lukewarm tone, "Just leave it there."
"This vegetable steamed bun tastes best with garlic sauce. You didn't think carefully enough. You just gave me the vegetable steamed bun without even thinking of mixing it with garlic sauce."
"Oh, I forgot." Wang smiled, "I'll go back and pound some garlic and add more sesame oil. It will taste better."
"Forget it, don't bother yourself. I don't think the garlic sauce you made will taste good. Let Daya make it later." Mrs. Wen scattered the last handful of cornmeal on the ground, and seeing the chickens scrambling for it, she clapped her hands, "That's enough, let's go back quickly."
Wang originally wanted to say something, but when she saw Wen was chasing her away, she thought for a while and didn't say anything. She just agreed and left with the small basket.
Han took some garlic from the kitchen to peel. Seeing Wen's sullen face, she laughed and said, "I think Wang is being polite to you, but why do you look unhappy? Did she offend you in the past?"
"She has offended many people." Mrs. Wen curled her lips, "I am just too lazy to argue with her. If I really did, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to finish talking all night."
"Don't think she's being polite now. Who knows what she'll do to me behind my back after we leave the house."
Being polite in front of others and seeming to flatter them, but cursing behind their backs...
Han blinked her eyes. "What did Wang ask you to do that made you so humble?"
"What else could it be?" Mrs. Wen pouted. "Isn't it because of Wencheng's matter?"
"This Wang is really short-sighted, and she doesn't do things with care. She is also a complete snob. She used to want to trample people into the mud, but now that she sees someone powerful, capable, and able to make money, she's eager to get close to him."
After Wen had said this, Han also understood what was going on. She laughed and winked at Wen, "You are also thinking about this, aren't you? I'm afraid you were worried about Wang's disapproval before. Now that Wang is so happy, why are you still unhappy?"
Why was she unhappy? Needless to say, Mrs. Wen's lips almost curled up to the sky.
Knowing what kind of person Wang was, if she was deliberately planning to do something, it would definitely not be a good thing. Even if she wanted to make Zhuang Wencheng and Zhuang Qingning a couple, now she felt that she was cheating Zhuang Qingning.

How miserable would it be to give someone such a mother-in-law? Mrs. Wen liked Zhuang Wencheng and always considered him, but she was not comfortable with the thought of letting Zhuang Qingning suffer, and possibly suffer in silence.
Wen suddenly remembered what Zhuang Yutian had reminded her of before.
He lowered his head and thought for a long time without saying a word.
Seeing that Wen didn't say anything, Han thought about it carefully and understood the general idea. She just laughed and said, "Okay, don't think about it here. This kind of thing is all about fate. No matter who is worried and on guard, it's useless."
"If there is really no fate, no matter how hard you try to bring them together, it won't work. If there is fate, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I'm afraid people will be willing to go."
"Okay, you really shouldn't think too much. Hurry up, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
"Daya, quickly mash the garlic and eat it with the vegetable steamed bun." Han called Zhou Daya.
Zhou Daya was putting the wash basin on the shelf and looking at it with great joy. When she heard Han calling her, she quickly responded and went to the kitchen to get busy. ——At dawn, Zhuang Qingning got up and started a busy day.
Wash up, clean the yard, and make breakfast.
Zhuang Qingsui followed closely behind, first helping Maoqiu clean the cat litter box, and then pulling some wheat straw to use as fire starter.
The two sisters were busy, and soon, egg porridge soup, scallion pancakes, pickled vegetables and cold shredded bamboo shoots were served on the table.
Maoqiu was given a boiled egg yolk and dried fish, and the two people and the cat enjoyed a nutritious and delicious breakfast.
