Chapter 33 Shen Lin Gets Roasted
Zheng Jiayu looked at Shen Lin somewhat shyly, her eyes filled with happiness, and said, "Being with him is really wonderful. When he's home, I don't have to do anything."
Shen Lin dug her nails into her palms, her smile looking somewhat stiff: "Captain Gu can even do housework?"
"Yes, he can do everything. I wanted to plant vegetables, so he tilled the soil for me." Zheng Jiayu's face was full of happiness, a happiness that stung Shen Lin's eyes.
Seeing Shen Lin's pained expression, Zheng Jiayu's lips curled slightly, and she felt very happy.
Wasn't she here to cause trouble? She gave Shen Lin this opportunity, but she doesn't know if Shen Lin is feeling bad about it.
Do you wish you could just strangle her?
Seeing Zheng Jiayu's arrogant and smug look, Shen Lin was furious, but she still pretended to be very happy and said, "Really? Then your sister-in-law is so lucky."
Aunt Lin nodded with a smile: "Who says otherwise? You unmarried young ladies should look for a husband like Captain Gu in the future."
"He's good-looking, capable, and most importantly, he's good to his wife." Aunt Lin said this intentionally.
She realized that Shen Youyi was clearly saying these things to annoy people.
Since that's the case, she'll just make Shen Lin unhappy too.
Shen Lin tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile that was more like a grimace.
"Of course."
Aunt Lin pulled Zheng Jiayu along, saying, "Jiayu, let's go this way. Be careful going up the mountain."
Zheng Jiayu understood Aunt Lin's unspoken meaning. She glanced at Shen Lin, who was almost furious, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Aunt, I know what I'm doing."
"Then let's go."
Shen Lin watched helplessly as Zheng Jiayu left with Aunt Lin. The person who had called Shen Lin over said somewhat awkwardly, "Shen Lin, why don't we go together?"
Shen Lin gave a faint smile: "Okay, let's go together."
And so, Shen Lin and Zheng Jiayu parted ways. The people around her prevented Shen Lin from getting away to find Zheng Jiayu, so she could only follow them aimlessly on the mountain.
Those who were with Shen Lin were filled with resentment.
Because Shen Lin complained that this place wasn't good enough, and that place wasn't good enough.
They even belittled them, saying that instead of picking up mountain produce, they should just buy it directly.
"Sister-in-law, when are we going back?" Shen Lin asked again.
The people who were with Shen Lin were no longer as gentle with her, and their voices were somewhat impatient: "If you don't want to collect mountain goods, you can go back by yourself first. You can find the way down the mountain yourself."
Shen Lin was taken aback, then said pitifully, "Let's forget it, I'll wait for you all."
The person who had originally intended to get rid of the person smiled awkwardly and continued picking mountain produce.
Shen Lin knew they seemed somewhat dissatisfied with her attitude, but she said nothing and simply stood there quietly watching them search for things that had no value to her.
Shen Lin followed behind them with a furrowed brow, watching what they had picked up.
They didn't say much about what they were going to do with the dried wood ear mushrooms. Even if they went back, it probably wouldn't be enough to eat.
Although that's what she was thinking, Shen Lin didn't say it out loud this time. She just calmly watched them busy, while her own basket was empty.
When Zheng Jiayu went with others to collect mountain produce, she noticed that Shen Lin didn't collect anything at all; she just stood by and watched.
He looked somewhat out of place among them.
The person who brought Shen Lin noticed Shen Lin's attitude and couldn't help but roll their eyes, muttering irritably, "If you don't like these things, why did Shen Lin come with us? To look good?"
Hearing this, someone nearby whispered, "They're rich, they don't care about this little thing, so let's just leave it alone and not bother them."
After that, no one paid any more attention to Shen Lin. It wasn't until noon that everyone went down the mountain. It was on the way down that Shen Lin saw Zheng Jiayu.
Shen Lin walked over to Zheng Jiayu and looked at her curiously, asking, "Sister-in-law, what are you looking for?"
Although Zheng Jiayu didn't know why Shen Lin had followed her to her side, she still said, "It's just some wild fruits, like walnuts and chestnuts."
Shen Lin leaned over for a look, but showed no interest in these things.
Looking longingly at the wild pears in Zheng Jiayu's basket, he said, "Sister-in-law, these wild pears look delicious. Can I have two?"
Zheng Jiayu frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "There are many wild pears on the mountain, you can find them easily, did you see any and didn't pick any?"
Shen Lin said innocently, "I didn't see it."
The person who was with Shen Lin just now couldn't help but roll their eyes.
Someone muttered, "What do you mean you didn't see it? You just don't like it."
Zheng Jiayu turned to look at the person who spoke in surprise: "You don't like it?"
As soon as Zheng Jiayu asked, the woman grabbed Zheng Jiayu and started complaining: "Of course she looks down on us. Whatever we pick, she says something bad."
"They even complained about the things on the mountain and kept urging us to go back."
Listening to the two's complaints, Zheng Jiayu turned to look at Shen Lin.
What exactly is Shen Lin here for?
Are they here to watch the excitement, or to cause trouble?
Shen Lin blushed instantly when Zheng Jiayu looked at her like that: "Don't believe what they say, I didn't."
Zheng Jiayu pointed to a wild pear tree not far away that still had many fruits: "You were just there. There were still many fruits on that wild pear tree. Since you liked them, why didn't you pick them and instead took mine?"
Shen Lin looked in the direction Zheng Jiayu pointed, and sure enough, there was a wild pear tree laden with fruit.
Half of the fruit on top was already ripe, some even larger than the fruit in Zheng Jiayu's basket.
Shen Lin was immediately embarrassed when Zheng Jiayu exposed her.
Zheng Jiayu smiled slightly: "Shen Lin, these mountain products we picked are gifts from nature. If you don't like them, you don't have to come. There's no need to slander them or pretend to be nice here."
"It would be best if you received some of the mountain produce we found from you after you arrived. What kind of logic is that?" Zheng Jiayu's voice was gentle, but her words were like a knife that pierced her heart.
The person who brought Shen Lin over nodded in agreement: "You don't need these things. You didn't have to come. Now that you're here, you're just nagging and pretending. It's really unnecessary."
Zheng Jiayu didn't know what Shen Lin was planning, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she gently told Shen Lin that this matter wouldn't be blamed on her.
Even if there is a mistake, it is Shen Lin's mistake.
Sure enough, everyone on the mountain looked at Shen Lin with puzzled expressions.
Why would you like coming here? Are you just bored?
Feeling embarrassed by the way everyone was looking at her, Shen Lin said irritably, "If you don't want to give it to me, then don't. Who cares?"
