Xie Mingchi?

Hua Shi clenched his palms and silently stepped aside two steps, leaving enough space for the person coming.

"Grandma, how did you hit your forehead?" Xie Mingchi, who was tall and had long legs, walked over in three or two steps and asked.

Xie, who was chatting and laughing with Hua Shi just now, suddenly became gloomy when she saw Xie Mingchi. She pounded her legs and spoke in a bad tone.

"How else could I have hit it? I couldn't have hit it by banging my head against a rock."

Hua Shi looked at Xie Mingchi, then looked at Xie, whose face had inexplicably become gloomy.

It was only later that I realized that this was Xie Mingchi's grandmother. However, judging from Xie's attitude, it seemed that she did not like Xie Mingchi.

Xie Mingchi seemed to have gotten used to his grandmother's attitude, and he also noticed that Xie's leg seemed to be sprained, with her ankle resting unnaturally on the stone.

"You sprained your ankle. Let me carry you back." Xie Mingchi said calmly.

Xie frowned, looking at Xie Mingchi with empty hands, and said with a hint of anger, "You didn't get anything today?"

Xie Mingchi was very calm, "Well, I've been unlucky lately."

Xie looked down at the flowers and the basket placed on the ground next to the stone, and her brows furrowed even more.

Hearing his nonchalant explanation, my temper flared up immediately, and I pointed at him angrily and cursed,

"What bad luck? I think you're useless and incompetent. Why blame your bad luck? Look at how others can easily catch four rabbits. You've been hunting for more than ten years, and you haven't caught anything in half a month. And you still have the nerve to say you're unlucky!"

Xie was so angry that she pointed at Xie Mingchi and started cursing.

Xie Mingchi lowered his head and eyes, letting her scold him without saying a word.

When the flowers bloom, I stand by, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

After Xie had finished scolding and venting her anger, Xie Mingchi raised his eyes slightly and asked again, "Can you let me carry you back?"

Xie had just finished cursing and was still breathing heavily. Her chest was heaving up and down with air in it.

Seeing him acting like a scoundrel, I felt even more upset.

How come she has such a grandson with a face as thick as a wall...

My husband died young, my son is useless, and my grandson is also a loser. They are all worthless...

Xie suppressed the resentment that had been accumulating in her heart for a long time. She tilted her head and looked at Hua Shi who was standing there doing nothing. Her expression softened a little. "Thank you, Hua girl. I, an old woman, don't have anything to thank you with. How about you come home with me for dinner? Is that okay with you?"

Hua Shi waved his hand and quickly refused, "No, no, my grandma should have finished cooking and is waiting for me at home. I won't go."

When Xie heard Hua Shi mention her grandmother, she laughed for some reason. "Okay, then go back and tell your grandmother to come to my house tomorrow. She left the handkerchief she embroidered last time at my house and forgot to bring it back. It's worth two cents, so don't lose it."

Hua Shi nodded and glanced at Xie Mingchi, who had a blank expression on his face.

She originally wanted to say hello to him, but seeing that Xie Mingchi had a gloomy face and had no intention of paying any attention to her, Hua Shi said goodbye to Xie, picked up the black cat on the ground, picked up the basket, and left quickly.

Only after Hua Shi's figure disappeared in the forest path did Xie retract her gaze and look at Xie Mingchi. As her thoughts lingered, she suddenly remembered something and her cloudy eyes suddenly lit up.

"Do you know the eldest daughter of the Hua family?" asked Xie.

Just now, Hua Shi looked at this silly boy several times and seemed to know him.

Xie Mingchi said, "I don't know him."

Mrs. Xie patted her knees, thinking, not really caring about Xie Mingchi's answer, muttering to herself, "If... I marry her... and she becomes the granddaughter-in-law of the Xie family..."

Hahahaha...that old hag must be so angry that her face will be twisted...

Although Mrs. Xie lowered her voice, Xie Mingchi, who was standing in front of her, heard everything she murmured.

Her brows furrowed as she said bluntly, "Grandma, I won't marry someone I don't know or have no connection with."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xie immediately became furious. "You don't want to marry? Then who will you marry? Could it be that you really have your eyes on that blind girl from He Guaizi's family? You want to marry her, but I don't agree! You better be honest and keep quiet. Marrying the eldest daughter of the Hua family is a blessing earned by your toad-like transformation, don't you know?"

Xie Mingchi pursed his lips, frowned tightly, and said nothing.

Seeing his deathly expression, Mrs. Xie became even angrier, her tone filled with malice. "Don't think I don't know. You sent all the fish you caught in the pond yesterday to He Guaizi's blind girl. You didn't bring back a single one, and you didn't even marry her, yet you're turning your back on me! Anyway, no matter what you think, I don't agree with you marrying that blind girl! Do you hear me? Did someone poison you and make you mute? Do you hear me?"

As Xie spoke, she started to push and hit Xie Mingchi, who was standing like a wooden stake.

"Uncle He saved me. If it weren't for him, I would have died long ago." Xie Mingchi said with a frown.

Xie scoffed, "That was so many years ago! I've been working like a slave for him for seven or eight years. I should have paid it back long ago!"

In response to Xie's unreasonable behavior and accusations, Xie Mingchi chose to keep silent.

He had no relationship with Uncle He's daughter. Uncle He saved his life. In the past two years, Uncle He injured his leg and became lame. In order to repay him, he helped as much as he could.

It was his grandma who was just imagining things. If she said these things at home or in front of him alone, it would be fine. But if they got out, it would ruin the reputation of this innocent girl...

No matter how Xie Mingchi argued or what his attitude was, Xie insisted on his belief. After a scolding, the grandfather and grandson were in a stalemate...

…

Hua Shi, who was leaving here, had no idea that as soon as she reached the foot of the mountain and turned into the village, she saw Li sitting under a big banyan tree by the field.

It seemed that he had just finished his farm work. Li was sitting under the shade of a tree, sweating profusely, enjoying the cool breeze and talking to someone next to him.

Hua Shi stood on the narrow ridge of the field, feeling caught in a dilemma. The only way to the village at the foot of the mountain was this ridge road, and there were paddy fields on both sides, so there was no way to go.

To go back, you have to pass the big banyan tree on the ridge...

She hadn't expected that it would be such a coincidence that Li was sitting under the shade of a tree and she ran into her...

This is bad.

Hua Shi was struggling with this dilemma when she saw the woman next to Li nudging Li with her elbow and raising her chin towards her.

Li turned his head and looked straight over...

They looked into each other's eyes across half a paddy field.

Hua Shi didn't have to think about it, she could feel the low pressure on Li from a long distance away.

If you keep touching Li's bottom line, Li will definitely be furious.

Flower Time: ...

Now it's good, she doesn't have to hide anymore...
