Chapter 33: I don't have that kind of habit
Chen Dani nodded thoughtfully: "That's right."
As soon as we dealt with the situation here, Old Man Chen and his friends came back.
"How is Chunniang? I hope she doesn't die." Wang asked as she entered the room.
Chen Dani couldn't help wanting to laugh when she saw her bruised and disheveled appearance, but she was afraid of getting beaten, so she quickly covered her mouth and turned to look the other way.
Liang Jinyu was packing her things and looked up to see Old Man Chen standing behind Wang, looking just as rude as before.
"He's still unconscious. I don't know when he'll wake up. I'll just leave it to fate."
Old man Chen complained with a stern face: "I don't know what she was thinking. Why did she bump into a tree when she was doing nothing? Now it's like this."
Wang continued, "What are you afraid of? As long as the person is fine, it's fine. The Wang family is shameless. Wang Tiande has been dead for many years, and they still want Chunniang to be a widow for him. Pah, such a heartless person, he will not die well."
Liang Jinyu sneered in her heart, the Wang family is heartless, and your Chen family is not a good thing either.
"It's getting dark, let's hurry up and cook. Oh my, that damn Wang Heli scratched my face, Dani, get me a basin of water." Wang covered her cheek and began to call Dani.
When Liang Jinyu went out, she saw Chen Lai Fu sitting on the doorstep. His clothes were torn and his cheeks were bruised. It seemed that he had been beaten badly.
"Jinyu, I'm sorry, I didn't know about this--"
"I'm going to cook first."
Liang Jinyu interrupted him and walked into the kitchen with an expressionless face.
Chen Lai Fu thought that she didn't know about the concubine, so he had to pretend to be innocent in front of her.
This man is really good at acting.
Liang Dingfang came from behind the house carrying a basket of dry firewood and happened to see this scene. His face suddenly darkened and a cold look appeared in his dark eyes.
Walking into the kitchen, he neatly stacked the dry firewood in the corner as usual, but said nothing.
Liang Jinyu was tidying up the stove and saw that he seemed to be mute, so she asked jokingly, "What's wrong? Who made our young master angry?"
Liang Dingfang held the torch tightly and said angrily, "I won't let him have an easy life."
"Him?" Liang Jinyu responded indifferently, "Are you talking about Chen Laifu? It's just a concubine, I don't care."
"It was clearly him who begged my sister to marry him, but now he dares to take a concubine in less than two months. I really want to tear him into pieces!"
Liang Jinyu couldn't help but frown when hearing Ding Fang's resentful words.
She remembered what Dani had said and began to worry.
She could become a person driven by resentment, but she didn't want Ding Fang to become like that.
She relived her life not only for revenge, but also to make Ding Fang live a better life.
She hoped that her brother was an upright man, not a vicious and evil devil with blood on his hands.
"Dingfang, come here. I want to tell you something."
Liang Jinyu waved at him and decided to tell him a little about her plan.
The trapped beast is frantic and violent because it can't find a way out. But if there is a way to escape, it will no longer be bound by the provocation in front of it.
Upon learning that Liang Jinyu had pawned her silver hairpin and hoarded thousands of kilograms of food, Liang Dingfang was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
Liang Jinyu said sadly, "Alas, I was originally planning to go to the old house to take inventory myself, but now this has happened, I will definitely not be able to leave tomorrow."
When Liang Dingfang heard this, he stood up straight immediately and said, "Sister, I'll go and check it out."
"You go? Can you do it? This matter has to be kept secret." Liang Jinyu pretended to be distrustful.
Liang Dingfang was anxious: "Why can't I do that? I'm already twelve years old, and I can read and count. Don't worry, I'll sneak over during the lunch break and make sure no one knows."
Liang Dingfang had learned martial arts from his father since he was young. If it weren't for his martial arts skills when he fled south, the brother and sister might not have been able to reach Shaozhou.
"Sister, please believe me." Liang Dingfang tugged at Liang Jinyu's sleeve and begged.
Liang Jinyu had this plan in mind, and just teased him on purpose: "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. I'll give you the cargo list later."
"Okay!" Liang Dingfang responded happily, with a little more spirit in his eyes.
Seeing that he was so happy, Liang Jinyu also started to smile.
...
Dinner was still noodles with a few side dishes.
Liang Jinyu is too lazy to serve, so now she just cooks as half-heartedly as possible.
Wang used chopsticks to stir the noodles in the bowl and said unhappily, "The masters have worked hard outside all day, and you just make this bland soup for them? What on earth can you do? I really don't know what's the point of marrying you!"
Liang Jinyu drank a sip of soup and said calmly, "You should ask your son about this. He was the one who cried and begged to marry me."
Wang sneered, "Pah, who knows what kind of seductive tricks you used to deceive him? He is honest and easy to deceive, but I am not easy to fool. I tell you, now that Chunniang has come in, you will move to the woodshed for me from now on. You are useless, Chunniang is more capable than you, I am waiting for her to let me hold my grandson."
Liang Jinyu couldn't ask for more, so she simply put down her bowl and chopsticks and stood up: "Okay, I'll move now."
"Jinyu." Chen Laifu chased into the room, rubbing his hands and said, "You don't have to move. My mother was just saying that out of anger. Don't bother with her."
Liang Jinyu took out her clothes from the cupboard and asked, "You're not moving? If you don't move, how are you going to sleep?"
Chen Laifu said without hesitation: "Isn't there a bamboo bed here?"
Liang Jinyu felt amused, but she didn't have the habit of watching other people's sex.
"No need, your mother is right. I can't keep you. Chunniang just arrived, and I should make room for you." After Liang Jinyu finished speaking, she quickly walked out of the room holding her clothes.
Chen Lai Fu followed out but was stopped by Wang. So he returned to the table with a helpless look on his face and ate three bowls of dumpling soup in a row.
The Chen family’s woodshed is behind the house, facing the cowshed, and to the right is the extended pigpen.
It's okay in the winter, but it stinks in the summer, and there are so many flies and mosquitoes that they want to eat you.
The room was very small, most of it occupied by firewood and sundries. There was only a small bed on the east side made of door panels. The quilt on the bed was gray, hard and heavy.
If the weather is good tomorrow, I'll take it apart and wash it.
Liang Jinyu thought to herself.
"Sister." Liang Dingfang came into the room, his voice brisk, "Do you want to sleep with me?"
Liang Jinyu put down her clothes and pointed to the empty space nearby: "Let's find two benches and put them together here to spend the night together."
"No, we are both skinny and can sleep on the bed. Anyway, we will leave this damn place soon."
Liang Dingfang lowered his voice when speaking the following sentence, but he could not conceal his excitement.
"Okay, let's just make do with it first." Liang Jinyu compromised and simply changed all the bedding.
Afterwards, Chen Lai Fu looked for Liang Jinyu several times, but Liang Jinyu pretended to be angry and did not give him a chance to speak.
Chen Lai-fu hung his head, looking downcast, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Liang Jinyu ignored him, cleaned up the kitchen, and went to the woodshed with a bucket of hot water.
When she walked into the yard, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure passing by hurriedly not far away. She couldn't see the figure clearly, but she felt that the figure was not tall.
Who is still walking around outside at this late hour?
Liang Jinyu grumbled in her heart but didn't think much about it.
