The name "Zhao Changgui" is only related to the Shen family in the village.
And recently he and Shen Siyue have become acquaintances, and his intuition tells him that what the people outside are talking about should be related to Shen Siyue, and it is not a good thing.
So he lay down inside the wall, wanting to hear what the people outside the wall were trying to do!
As a result, the person outside the wall deliberately lowered his voice, so he didn't hear clearly what was said.
After the footsteps outside the wall gradually faded away, Shitou quietly opened the door a crack and saw the backs of Wang Huilian and Shen Hongmei.
Shitou frowned, probably because of men's sensitivity to danger. He always felt that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family was going to do something bad.
So he closed the gate and came to the corner, and sure enough, he saw Shen Siyue working from a distance.
And at this moment, he also knew that Wang Huilian and her daughter must have been hiding here just now, quietly observing Shen Siyue.
Shitou lowered his head and thought about it, wondering whether he should go over and remind Shen Siyue.
After all, he only heard a name, and Zhao Changgui is now Shen Hongmei's man.
Logically speaking, it is normal for the mother and daughter to mention Zhao Changgui.
But it’s not normal for Wang Huilian and the other person to hide here and secretly monitor Shen Siyue.
After all, they are no longer related.
The mother and daughter were lying here staring at Chen Siyue early in the morning, they must be up to no good.
With the idea that it is better to say something wrong than to let it go, Shitou strode towards Shen Siyue.
Shen Siyue, who was swinging an axe to chop wood, heard footsteps, stopped what she was doing, looked back, and saw Shi Tou walking towards her with a serious face.
Before Shitou could speak, Shen Siyue spoke first: “Did you help me split the wood next to it?”
This morning, when Shen Siyue just came here, she saw a row of wooden tripods neatly stacked under the east wall of the house.
Apparently someone had done the work for her while she was away.
Shen Siyue went through all the people she knew in her mind, and except for Shi Tou, who she had been in contact with more recently, she really couldn't think of anyone else.
Looking at the pile of wood chopped to the same length, Shen Siyue felt mixed emotions.
She doesn't like to guess, and many misunderstandings are caused by not asking directly.
So when she saw Shi Tou walking towards her, Shen Siyue asked directly.
Shi Tou, who had a serious look on his face, was stunned by her sudden question.
Then his tanned face suddenly turned red.
Those who felt guilty turned around and wanted to run back.
When he helped Shen Siyue chop wood, he didn’t think about it at all. He just thought that she, as a girl, should not be able to do these jobs.
But for a man like him who works all year round, it is just a matter of effort.
So he took advantage of the time when it was getting dark and no one was around to chop Shen Siyue down a bit.
As a result, when he took the axe home, he realized belatedly that his action might make Shen Siyue a little embarrassed.
If someone else accidentally sees it, I'm afraid people in the village will gossip about it.
For an unmarried girl who has just severed ties with her family and has no one to rely on, this message may become a sharp knife that kills people without being seen.
But if it happened again, Shitou felt that he would still help her chop the wood.
It felt like it was my own job and I just did it naturally.
It’s just that now he is worried whether his behavior will cause trouble for Shen Siyue.
Shitou turned his body a little bit to avoid Shen Siyue’s sight, and coughed twice to cover up his panic.
"I...I...I'm strong, so I'll do it for you."
Shen Siyue stared at the stone that didn't dare to face her directly. She looked at the sky, the ground, and the side, but she didn't dare to look at herself.
Shitou's heart was pounding, as if he had done something bad and was discovered by an adult.
He glanced at Shen Siyue out of the corner of his eye, and seeing her serious expression, he suddenly felt empty in his heart for some reason, and there was a hint of loss in his voice.
"Don't worry, no one else saw it. I...it's just that it's inconvenient for you to do this alone, and I'm used to it..."
Having said this, Shi Tou suddenly fell silent, lowered his head and stared at the ground beneath his feet in a trance.
Seeing that he suddenly fell silent, Shen Siyue felt as if she was a bit aggressive when interrogating a prisoner.
After all, the other person helped me, so it seems like I was being a bit impolite.
I quickly put on a smile and said, "Thank you, I really can't do this job well."
"Look at these I split. Half of them are thick and the other half are thin. They are so uneven."
Shitou looked down at her feet and found that many of them were just as she said. They could no longer be used as rafters and could only be used as firewood.
I knew that she was not used to this job, didn't know how to use that much strength, and brought down the axe at the wrong angle, which led to this result.
He pursed his lips, but still mustered up the courage to say to Shen Siyue: “These are the trees you dragged back from the mountain with great difficulty. It would be a pity to chop them up.”
"You put it there, and I'll take care of the rest."
After thinking about it, afraid that Shen Siyue would be embarrassed, she quickly said again: “I’ll help you this time, and next time when I have something to do, you can help me again.”
Shen Siyue looked down at the waste at her feet, it was indeed a pity.
So after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you."
Seeing that Shen Siyue did not refuse, Shi Tou was very happy, and hurriedly shook his head vigorously: “No trouble, no trouble, it’s okay to stay anyway.”
At this point, both of them were speechless.
The sudden silence created a hint of awkwardness in the air.
Shen Siyue racked her brains to find a topic to break the awkwardness, so she asked, “What do you want to talk to me about?”
"Hmm? Oh, yes, I have something to tell you." Shi Tou suddenly realized that he was so busy thinking about his own things that he almost forgot about the important matter.
"Just now, your aunt and your cousin were lying outside my house, looking at you, and I vaguely heard them say something about 'Zhao Changgui'. I think there might be something bad going on here, so I want to remind you that you'd better be careful recently."
Shi Tou quickly told Wang Huilian and Shen Hongmei about what he had just seen. Although he didn't hear any specific content, Shen Siyue's current relationship with the Shen family obviously wouldn't let the mother and daughter of the Shen family come up early in the morning to care about Shen Siyue.
After hearing what Shi Tou said, Shen Siyue also frowned.
She knew that Chen Hongmei wanted to divorce Zhao Changgui.
But what did the mother and daughter mean by running over to secretly look at her?
Considering that the mother and daughter are not good people, are they planning something bad to her again?
