Even now, they still have the nerve to use Shen Fenghua to suppress me? Give me a break.
He was Shen Fenghua's brother, and he certainly wasn't as capable as that brat, but at least he knew his own limitations.
Compared to Shen Fenghua, is he crazy?
"Father, I think you should use the time you spend lecturing me to improve yourself. After all, that brat Shen Fenghua is not like someone from our Shen family."
He stood up, thinking of his son, and didn't want to argue with this clueless father. "This is how my life is going to be. If you're not happy about it, hurry up and catch up while you can still work. Otherwise, when you get old, you'll really regret it."
After saying that, he completely ignored his father, whose nose was almost crooked with anger, and turned and left.
The Shen family's farce is just an everyday occurrence.
Meanwhile, Shen Fenghua sat on the bus on the way back, feeling drowsy. She wanted to sleep, but she also wanted to talk to Qi Ye. In the end, she just leaned against the window and hummed, "Do you think it's a bit late for us to go back now?"
"It's not too late."
The bus arrived in the county town at 2 PM, probably around 5 PM. However, it was winter, and the days were much shorter, so it was definitely dark by the time I got home.
He didn't know what Shen Fenghua was thinking; he only assumed she was a little scared.
She gently comforted him, "It's alright, what are you afraid of with me here? Go to sleep, and when you wake up, we'll be home."
Shen Fenghua's eyelids were drooping, but she was still being stubborn, "I'm not sleepy, talk to me."
Qi Ye: "..."
He said somewhat helplessly, "Okay, what do you want to say?"
"I don't have anything to say. Do you have anything to say?"
Qi Ye thought for a moment, "Tomorrow I'll get up early to queue up and get some meat from the meat stall. Grandma can render the fat into oil, and you can stir-fry the lean meat. Oh, right, didn't the doctor say to drink more bone broth? I'll find a couple of bones to stew in soup, and we can even break the bones to suck out the marrow."
After just a few words, Shen Fenghua was practically drooling.
There's nothing I can do; ever since I got pregnant, I've been craving food day after day.
The weather was very cold at that time, so we rendered lard from fatty meat. Later on, whether we were stir-frying or cooking, we would add a spoonful of lard to the food, and the taste would be indescribable.
There's also pork cracklings, sprinkled with white sugar, fragrant and crispy, a rare treat no matter the time.
As for the big bone, just thinking about it, Shen Fenghua could already picture the joy of holding the bone and sucking out the marrow. Then, he would dip the soft marrow in a little vinegar, and take a bite. The taste would be simply amazing.
"Stop talking."
I'm so hungry!
Qi Ye: "?"
He was a little confused. Weren't they just going to talk? Why aren't they going to talk now?
But then again, it makes sense; a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.
Especially during pregnancy, your mood can change drastically from one second to the next.
You'll get used to it.
So Qi Ye readily agreed, "Alright, then I won't say anything more. Are you still sleeping? Do you want to lean on me and sleep for a while?"
Logically speaking, it's not allowed for men and women to get this close outside, not even newlyweds.
If you want to be intimate, go home and be intimate there.
If you let people stare at you from the outside, you'll be gossiped about behind your back.
But there are exceptions, like Shen Fenghua with her big belly.
Looking at Qi Ye's strong and reliable arms, Shen Fenghua couldn't resist leaning against them. "I'll just sleep for a little while."
The two were locked in a fierce struggle, which greatly worried Shuanzi and Hongjie behind them.
Both of them were determined to close this deal.
However, Qi Ye was following too closely, always keeping up with Shen Fenghua no matter the time, so the two of them naturally didn't dare to make a move.
Hongjie remained relatively calm, while Shuanzi was so anxious that he was about to get blisters on his lips.
"What should we do, Sister Hong?"
Hongjie was also very annoyed. The more Qi Ye stayed close to Shen Fenghua, the more annoyed Hongjie became with Shen Fenghua. They were both women, both pregnant, but the treatment they received was so different. It was simply unfair.
"Stop yelling. You can't even sit still over such a small thing. You have no backbone at all."
Hongjie was already annoyed, and Shuanzi's loud shouting next to her made her even more annoyed.
He glanced at Shuanzi and said, "With such little willpower, you still want to do great things? Bah, you coward. No wonder you can't find a wife."
Shuanzi's expression changed drastically. He glanced at Sister Hong, took a deep breath, and forced himself to hold it in.
After Hongjie finished speaking, she regretted it a little. Even if he was a coward, he was still a man. If he had any pride and had argued with her in the car, things would have gone wrong.
I just didn't expect...
She glanced at Shuanzi, who was swallowing his anger.
She gave a disdainful smile; this man was even more useless than she had imagined.
If Qi Ye hadn't noticed the two of them acting so suspiciously, he could have gone home and eaten his own meal right now.
Qi Ye glanced at Shen Fenghua, who was sleeping soundly with her head resting on his shoulder, and his fists clenched tightly under his clothes.
No, Feng Hua is here now; we can't act rashly.
We need to come up with a foolproof plan...
Qi Ye remained calm, and as darkness fell, the car finally arrived at the station, albeit slowly.
Shen Fenghua was still a little dazed. Qi Ye looked at Shen Fenghua and whispered when there were many people around, "Shh, don't make a sound. Someone is following us."
The drowsiness in Shen Fenghua vanished almost instantly.
The two got out of the car and went straight to the post office. After making a phone call, they saw that the suspicious-looking man and woman were still there. Qi Ye raised his eyebrows, seemingly complaining, "Look, what a wasted trip."
Shen Fenghua said angrily, "Who knew the package wouldn't arrive? It was sent out yesterday, and it should have arrived today!"
"But they didn't arrive."
Shen Fenghua seemed even more unconvinced, hands on her hips, looking fierce, "If you're not here yet, you're not here yet, why are you being so fierce?"
"Okay, okay, we won't do anything. You've been up all day, you must be tired. Let's go home, alright?"
The two tugged at each other for a while, then seemed to have made up and continued walking.
In the darkness, Shen Fenghua's large eyes blinked, and she lowered her voice, "Am I great?"
A faint smile flickered in Qi Ye's eyes. "Yes, great."
The two walked into increasingly remote areas, venturing into one alley after another.
When the road ahead ended, they heard a loud bird call. The two stopped, and Qi Ye shielded Shen Fenghua behind him, saying in a deep voice, "You two have been following us all this way, aren't you going to show yourselves?"
