He always said that she was soft and cute and made him want to sleep just by looking at her, so he always wanted to bully her. Was that feeling similar to how she felt now that Da Huang was cute and wanted to pet him?
Thinking about the lust in his eyes when he looked at her just now, and how he had often rubbed the top of her head with his big palm, Shen Huan felt even worse.

"It's good to be young and strong. Now that I'm old, my legs and feet don't obey me anymore."
Normally, it takes a lot of effort to fetch two buckets of water by myself, but a man can do it in no time, Liu Cui'e sighed, tapping her thigh.
"Grandma, where do you live? Let us take you back."
"It's not a big deal. It's not far. I can just move back slowly by myself." When Liu Cui'e heard the little girl say she was going to her house, her expression suddenly became serious.
"It's not a big deal." Chen Huan smiled warmly and winked at the man while speaking.
Seeing the man already lifting the two buckets of water with ease, Liu Cui'e couldn't refuse anymore, "Thank you."
While leading the way, Liu Cui'e casually asked, "Where are you from? Do you have any relatives in Huangtu Village?"
"We're here to look for someone. Grandma, do you know where Yang Shoucheng lives?"
Liu Cui'e's expression suddenly changed. After a pause, she replied, "There is no such person as you mentioned in our village."
"How could this be? When Uncle Yang left, he clearly said he was going back to Huangtu Village to retire." Chen Huan frowned in confusion. "Grandma, did you remember it wrong? Think about it again."
"I said no, that's it. There's no family with the surname Yang in our village. Even though I'm old, I can't even remember this..."
Liu Cui'e was a little excited at first, but then she thought of something and stopped and changed the subject.
"Now that you mention it, I remember that a family surnamed Yang did come from another place more than ten years ago, but they are no longer here."
Chen Huan took over and asked, "But he moved away? When did he move away? Does grandma know where he moved to?"
"A few years ago, someone came and took him away. I don't remember exactly, and I have no idea where he went.
That person is very strange. He rarely goes out and doesn't hang out with us neighbors. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that there used to be such a family in the village."
"Oh, I see." Liu Cui'e's answer seemed fine, but her eyes dodged while she spoke.
Exchanging a glance with the man, Shen Huan sighed dejectedly, "It seems we've come all this way in vain."
"The roads here are really difficult to walk on. If we go back now, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave Majia Town until midnight. I wonder if grandma would let my boyfriend and I stay at your house for one night. We'll pay for the room."
"I'm old now, and the house isn't clean enough, so it's a little inconvenient. I'm afraid you guys aren't used to sleeping on the hard kang in the countryside.
There's a hotel in the town center. Although it's not as good as the five-star hotels in the city, it's at least more spacious and comfortable. You two can stay in the hotel for one night."
"Thank you, grandma."
I don’t know if she didn’t plan to go home from the beginning or changed the route temporarily, but Liu Cui’e took the two of them to the fields.
"Leave the water here. You should hurry up and leave the village. You can reach the town center before dark."
"Okay." Shen Huan responded with a smile, and without staying any longer, he turned around and left with the man.
Pretending to work, Liu Cui'e waited until the two of them walked some distance away before she looked up at their backs. Her wrinkled brows revealed deep worry.
-
"I think there's something wrong with this old lady. She should be quite familiar with Butler Yang, right? She must know where Butler Yang is, but she just doesn't want to tell us."
Walking out along the path beside the field, Chen Huan pulled the man's arm and murmured his speculation.
"It's not that she didn't tell us, but Yang Shoucheng didn't move out at all."
Fu Siyan narrowed his eyes, a deep look flashing in his eyes, "She is not just familiar with Yang Shoucheng, but very familiar with him, because she is Yang Shoucheng's wife."
"How do you know?" Hearing his certainty, Shen Huan frowned curiously.
