Chapter 278 Han Fengshi's Thoughts

Xu Zhichun shook his head. "You're overthinking it. My words only represent myself, not others. I don't like to meddle in other people's affairs without any connection or reason. If I made you misunderstand, it's my fault, and I apologize."

Liang Cui'er was also dumbfounded: "."

Muxiang squatted on the ground and quickly threw the odd-shaped yams into the backpack. She stood up, holding the hoe, and said, "Madam, the yams are ready."

Several people looked over.

Xu Zhichun smiled and praised her: "Our Muxiang is really amazing!"

Such a great thing was accomplished quietly.

Nanny Qin Qing smiled and said, "Madam, we have been out for quite a while, we should go back."

"good."

Xu Zhichun glanced at Liang Cui'er and Han Fengshi and said, "Take your time to browse. We'll be leaving first."

Han Feng forced a smile and nodded: "Xu, Madam Xu, take care."

Nanny Qin Qing wanted to roll her eyes. From her tone and expression, she seemed to be feeling wronged. What was she feeling wronged about? Who had done this to her?

Liang Cui'er suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, you live alone, and you can't finish all the winter bamboo shoots and yams. Why don't you give me some? It will prevent them from spoiling if left out for too long."

She said as she was about to come over to get it.

Xu Zhichun stopped her: "Who said there's only one person in our family? Aren't there also Nanny Qin Qing and Muxiang? Besides, these winter bamboo shoots and yams can be stored for a long time. We can eat them slowly, they won't go bad."

Liang Cui'er was angry, but also felt embarrassed: "Isn't it just a few winter bamboo shoots and yams? Isn't the eldest cousin's wife too stingy?"

"There are plenty on the mountain, you can find them yourself."

"Cui'er, forget it, we shouldn't be like this. Madam Xu, don't take it to heart. Cui'er treats Madam Xu as one of her own, and she's not shy about it. She doesn't mean anything else."

"snort!"

Xu Zhichun glanced at her indifferently, and the master and servant left.

Han Feng bit her lip and sighed softly.

Liang Cui'er felt extremely guilty. "I'm sorry, Sister Han, I've wronged you. I'm just like that, my eldest cousin's wife. I'm very stingy. Look at her. She's so rich and has earned so much, but she refuses to share anything with our family or my second uncle's family. We're so unlucky. Why did we run into her today?"

Han Feng hurriedly shook her head and smiled, "Don't say that. I'm not wronged. It's you, though. I didn't expect her to treat you like this. A girl as good as you is hard to find even with a lantern. If I had a sister like you, I don't know how much I would cherish her. I didn't expect it. Oh! But then again, broken bones are connected by tendons. Is there any misunderstanding between your two families? If there is any misunderstanding, it will be fine if it is cleared up. After all, we are relatives connected by blood. A harmonious family and mutual assistance are the basis of prosperity. I think Madam Xu is also very kind. If you talk to her nicely, I believe you can make it work, right?"

Liang Cui'er curled her lips and sneered, "That's why you're so kind, Sister Han. If she were half as good as you, Sister Han, she wouldn't be like this. My parents are right, she's a cold-hearted, ungrateful person, always trying to curry favor with the head of the village, and she doesn't treat us as her own family at all. Humph, who cares about her! My brother is such a great student. When he becomes an official in the future, she will regret it! Even if she kneels down and begs, we won't forgive her."

This scene was so satisfying that Liang Cui'er couldn't help laughing out loud.

Han Fengshi was a little confused: "."

She still didn't give up and tried to test him, "I heard that Liang Mingxuan is quite good at studying. If the misunderstanding between your two families is resolved, and both of them become successful in the future, they can help each other. Wouldn't that be even better?"

Liang Cui'er was a little unhappy, and subconsciously raised her voice and sneered, "Liang Mingxuan? What's so great about him? He's just bragging. His foundation is not solid at all. Just wait and see. When he takes the exam for the scholar degree, he will definitely not be as good as my brother!"

Han Fengshi didn't dare to really make her angry, so she quickly smiled and said, "What you said makes sense. Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. We can talk about the future later. Let's look for winter bamboo shoots and yams, and then we can go back."

"Oh, okay."

Liang Cuier couldn't help but go to the place where Muxiang was digging yam to take a closer look to see if she could find any.

Unexpectedly, all the costus root was dug out completely, without leaving a single one.

Liang Cui'er muttered "What bad luck" and had to leave with Han Fengshi.

Han Fengshi spoke to her affectionately and warmly, and soon Liang Cuier was made happy and she wished she could be a member of the family with her.

When Xu Zhichun and her friends returned home, Xiaoshan, who had grown much bigger, ran over barking and wagging his tail, circling around her feet.

Xu Zhichun bent down and teased it, "We should have brought Xiaoshan with us when we went up the mountain. How could we have forgotten? We must not forget next time!"

Muxiang also clapped her hands and laughed, "That's right, next time I will definitely bring Xiaoshan with me. Xiaoshan's legs are so long, he must be able to run very fast."

After entering the house and sitting down to rest, Nanny Qin Qing asked, "Madam, do you know why Miss Liang Cui'er is with Han Fengshi?"

"I'm also curious. The two families aren't relatives, and I've never heard of any interactions between them before. Do you know anything?"

Xu Zhichun didn't have much work to do at home, so when Nanny Qin Qing had nothing to do, she liked to go to the village and hang out with her aunts, uncles, sisters-in-law, and gossip about the people around her.

It's not okay for the lady to wander around, but she's fine. Knowing many things is better than not knowing. Especially since the lady is becoming increasingly wealthy and famous, but her background is so shallow. Even with the village head and his support, if something unpleasant were to spread, it would be difficult to deal with.

The only way is to prepare in advance and nip any signs of trouble in the bud.

Besides, with her hanging around and meddling, others would be embarrassed to say anything bad about their own wife, right?

She is also generous and often brings out some melon seeds, peanuts, candied fruits and candies. No matter which gossip group chat team she joins, she is very popular.

She knew much more information than Xu Zhichun.

If Xu Zhichun asked in detail, he would be shocked.

Nanny Qin Qing was also very attentive, often able to glean a great deal of information from a single sentence. This was far superior to the other ladies who only indulged in gossiping about the people around them.

If someone gives her a melon vine, she can follow it and find a big melon. If someone gives her a big melon, she can extend it and find the second and third melon.

Nanny Qin Qing chuckled softly, "I remember now. The Han Feng family is quite special in Quanshan Village. Han Feng's husband passed away five years ago. She has a son who is eight years old this year. She also has a mother-in-law and a father-in-law who passed away long ago. There is also a younger brother-in-law named Han Songlian. After this year, he will be twenty-two years old, and he still hasn't found a wife. It makes sense. The old mother is frail and sick, and the widowed sister-in-law with a young nephew can't support the family. If he gets married, the couple will definitely have to support the old mother, raise the nephew, and take care of the widowed sister-in-law. The family is poor, and who would be willing to let their daughter go to hell?"
