"Auntie, what happened?"
Seeing that Qin Xiang'e was covered in wood chips, Ye Yun went over and took a clean towel.
Qin Xiang'e threw the piece of rotten wood in her hand to the ground, patted the splinters off her clothes, and said, "Look, this fell from the eaves. Luckily it hit me. What would have happened if it had hit you or the old lady?"
Old Mrs. Qin, who was sitting at the entrance of the main room, heard someone calling her and turned her head to look.
But it was only a glance; he then turned away, indifferent to the fact that it was none of his business, and went back to admiring the scenery.
Qin Xiang'e's facial injuries weren't too serious. The broken wood was light and soft, and although it was quite frightening when it hit, it didn't cause any real harm. Ye Yun took a towel and patted the wood chips off Qin Xiang'e's body, saying, "I'll talk to Qin Zheng and ask him to find someone to take a look."
Qin Xiang'e nodded in agreement.
It had been so many years, and there was no man in the house. Some tiles had fallen off, and no one had repaired them in time. After a few rains, the wood got soaked, and when it got hot, it was covered up again, and it eventually broke down.
Where is Qin Zheng?
"Zhengzi isn't in the house?" Qin Xiang'e asked, looking around as she listened to Ye Yun's words.
She was so focused on picking up the wood to start the fire that she didn't notice where Qin Zheng had gone, assuming he had gone back inside.
"I remember now! I heard him say earlier that he had some things to take care of in the east, so he probably went to my ex-sister-in-law's house!" Qin Xiang'e clapped her hands and sighed heavily.
Speaking of Li Xiuying, there's only bad luck involved.
"His wife, shall we go take a look?"
Qin Xiang'e was worried that Qin Zheng would be taken advantage of, so she took Ye Yun's hand and wanted to go and see him. Qin Zheng was an honest boy, and he might be manipulated by Li Xiuying again. Perhaps Li Xiuying would find a way to take the last penny out of his pocket.
If Qin Zheng were still single, she wouldn't say anything; he could give the things to whomever he wanted.
But now that Qin Zheng has started a family and married Ye Yun, the things no longer belong to him but to Ye Yun, so he can no longer give them all to his mother-in-law, Li Xiuying.
Thinking of Qin Xiang'e's status, Ye Yun said, "Aunt, I can go by myself. You can cook at home."
"Okay, that works too."
Qin Xiang'e quickly agreed.
Ye Yun turned and left.
She didn't want Qin Xiang'e to go and get abused. Li Xiuying held a grudge against Qin Xiang'e, her former aunt, and if Qin Xiang'e were to be forced to scratch her face again, it would be a loss for her.
Qin Xiang'e knew this too, so she immediately put aside her thoughts and took the firewood into the kitchen.
Ye Yun walked alone towards Lao Guo's house.
She was prepared to have another fight with Li Xiuying, but as soon as she reached the edge of the big pit at the village entrance, she saw that familiar tall figure under the willow tree.
It was Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng had his back to her, so her face was not visible.
Standing opposite him was a young woman in her early twenties with dark skin, probably from years of exposure to the sun and wind. She had her hair tied in a low ponytail, a square face, big eyes, and was rather stout. She wore coarse cloth trousers and a blue mandarin jacket that were ill-fitting, baggy, and worn, as if they had been picked up from an elder's clothes.
I have no idea what they're talking about.
All I could see was that the girl was crying very sadly, her face covered in snot and tears.
This girl looked vaguely familiar to her.
In her past life, after Qin Zheng ran away from home, a young woman angrily went to Lao Guo's house to find her, saying that she was not good enough for Qin Zheng, scolding her for betraying Qin Zheng's sincere heart, and giving her a thorough dressing-down.
She found out later.
That's Old Qin's neighbor!
A girl who likes Qin Zheng!
If she remembered correctly, the girl standing in front of Qin Zheng was the same girl who had scolded her before!
Wow~ This is going to be interesting!
