Guan Yuxi ate very quickly.
I almost choked on the steamed bun.
Leng Lie held the water to her lips while patting her back.
He said helplessly, "No need to rush, I'll go take a look in a bit."
Guan Yuxi glanced at him sideways.
If it weren't for him, how could she have cared about Li Chunhua and the others?
After the meal, the two went their separate ways.
Guan Yuxi went to Leng Qingshan's house.
"Second Uncle, you're busy so early?"
Leng Qingshan puffed on his pipe.
He is diligently forging a hoe.
"Xiaoxi is here! Come and sit down."
Leng Qingshan took the thin undershirt from the bellows and put it on, then loudly called for Aunt Wen to make tea.
Guan Yuxi smiled and waved her hand, "Second Uncle, you don't need to be so polite."
I just wanted to ask how your decision is going. Time is a bit tight.
Wen Er Ma came out to greet him, laughing and teasing her husband.
"Oh, I should have gone to invite Xiaoxi earlier."
The weather's been so unpredictable, going from hot to cold in an instant. No matter what I said, she wouldn't listen and insisted on going shirtless!
Leng Qingshan pulled up a chair for Guan Yuxi.
She glared at Wen Er Ma and said, "Am I such a grown man that I don't know what hot and cold are?"
Guan Yuxi watched the couple joking with a smile.
I found it particularly interesting.
Wen Er Ma ignored her husband, patted Guan Yuxi's arm, and rushed off to the kitchen.
"Xiaoxi, wait a minute, your second aunt will go get you something delicious."
I was just saying I'd bring it to you, and here you are!
Leng Qingshan sat on the curb and tapped his pipe.
He took several deep breaths, coughing from the choking, before saying, "I can do this!"
However, I have one request.
Guan Yuxi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded.
Leng Qingshan sat up straight. "If it gets exposed, just say it was my idea."
You were all coerced by me.
Seeing that Guan Yuxi was about to speak, he waved his hand and said, "Let me finish speaking first."
I'm not doing this entirely for you guys; I mainly want to find someone for Chunyan to rely on.
I trust you two!
Leng Qingshan and Wen Erma were a loving couple, both kind-hearted.
The only drawback was that she only gave birth to one daughter, Chunyan, and the left side of her face was covered with red birthmarks.
Given her circumstances, if she were to marry, she would most likely end up with a cripple, a fool, or a blind man.
The couple loved their daughter dearly and didn't want her to suffer.
Naturally, she wanted to find someone to rely on for her future.
Guan Yuxi swallowed back what she was about to say.
She nodded solemnly and said, "Second Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely take care of Chunyan as my own sister."
In the book, the original owner was abused by Leng Hongxing's family.
Chunyan brought her food and even helped her escape.
In the end, however, she was forced by Leng Hongxing to marry a cripple from a neighboring village, and her life was not much better than the original owner's.
Guan Yuxi naturally remembered her kindness.
She took out a stack of blueprints and handed them to Leng Qingshan, saying, "You don't need to think too much about it. Even if things don't go well, your uncle will take care of you."
A smile spread across Leng Qingshan's dark red face.
The deep wrinkles on his forehead also smoothed out.
“Your uncle is a capable man, but his family isn’t having an easy time either.”
Don't make things too difficult for him.
Guan Yuxi smiled knowingly and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, Second Uncle, I know."
By the way, the faster this batch of goods arrives, the better; the buyer needs it urgently.
She took out fifty yuan and handed it over, saying, "This is the deposit."
Leng Qingshan didn't want it.
Guan Yuxi forced the material on him, saying, "You also need to pay for the materials."
We can't let you bear all the risks.
Even the deepest feelings cannot withstand being worn down.
Only a community of shared interests can bind people together.
Guan Yuxi naturally understood this principle.
Seeing that Uncle Leng was still trying to give her money, she quickly slipped away, saying, "You go ahead with your work, I have something to do, I'll be going now."
Leng Qingshan dared not chase him out of the courtyard, staring blankly at the banknotes in his hand.
Aunt Wen brought out the food. "Why did Xiaoxi leave?"
Leng Qingshan waved the bills in his hand.
"Go and return it to her, you don't need so much!"
Wen Er Ma wiped her hands, took the money, and put it in her pocket.
She could practically trap a mosquito between her husband's brows.
She tapped his forehead, saying with exasperation, "Business is all about long-term commitment."
Those materials belong to the brigade, not our own family, so you need to keep good records.
"If something really happens, we're not afraid, but we can't drag others down with us!"
Most of the time, it was Wen Er Ma who made the decisions for the couple.
Leng Qingshan thought for a moment and then smiled, "Then I'll listen to you."
From now on, we'll accept whatever amount Xiaoxi gives us.
If something really happens... I'm sorry to have troubled you.
Wen Er Ma's eyes reddened.
She raised her sleeve and wiped her eyes.
"I'm so sorry, I couldn't even leave an heir for the Leng family..."
Leng Qingshan interrupted her and shouted:
Why are you saying all this useless stuff?
We only have Chunyan, so we'll make sure she has enough money to live a good life.
I think of Chunyan.
Wen Er Ma couldn't help but wipe away her tears again.
"If Chunyan could marry into an honest family, I would be content for the rest of my life."
Leng Qingshan scoffed, "Hmph, you women are all talk and no action."
Even the best families are not immune to hardship; those with few members worry about being bullied by outsiders.
How wonderful it is to be free and independent!
After saying that, he picked up the hammer again and started hammering iron.
Wen Er Ma stepped forward and twisted his ear, "You still dare to look down on us women?"
Which household chores in our family weren't done by women?
"If you're so capable, why don't you live freely on your own?"
