Chapter 36 Piling Machine

...

Green Oak Mountain is neither far nor near.

Although it is just across the river, if you want to find good cedar wood, you need to go inside, and the round trip will take at least a whole day.

In the afternoon, Liang Jinyu took some time to fetch a bucket of water from the river.

Before reaching the door, I saw someone peeking out from outside the Chen family's courtyard from a distance.

She immediately quickened her pace, walked up to him and shouted, "Who's there?"

It’s okay if you don’t shout. This shout will scare people so much that they will run away.

Liang Jinyu dropped the carrying pole and quickly chased after him.

The entrance to the Chen family's house was right next to a very slippery ridge. The man hadn't run far when he stumbled and rolled into the paddy field.

Liang Jinyu chased after him and saw that it was actually Wang Erniu.

"What are you doing here?" Liang Jinyu asked, thinking of Chunniang, and then realized, "Are you here to see your mother?"

Wang Erniu bit his lip and nodded awkwardly.

"Have you been here at night before?" Liang Jinyu recalled the figure she saw that night.

Wang Erniu nodded again, his thin body shivering in the cold wind.

Liang Jinyu frowned: "Wait, I'll let her out."

"Erniu?" Chunniang trotted over anxiously, probably having heard the noise.

Wang Erniu immediately climbed up from the field, went to meet her and said anxiously: "Mom, Juan'er is sick again..."

Liang Jinyu didn't listen to the rest of the words.

Old Man Chen was packing things in the yard. When he saw her come in, he pretended to ask, "What are you doing, Chunniang? You look so hurried."

Liang Jinyu struggled to carry the bucket and pour water into the jar. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "I don't know. Maybe he went to the toilet."

Old man Chen snorted, "Lazy people are prone to shit and piss."

...

"It's already dark, why hasn't he come back yet?"

Wang stood in the yard, stretching her neck to look outside.

Liang Jinyu was also a little worried. In the winter, when there was no food in the mountains, the wild boars would come down the mountain. In the previous life, several people in the village were injured by wild boars.

It's not the coldest yet, so it shouldn't be that unlucky.

Liang Jinyu rubbed her cold palms. Just as she thought of this, she heard someone outside shout "Mom".

Then the third son of the Chen family ran in breathlessly, pointing outside and saying, "Mom, it's bad, my eldest brother fell down!"

Liang Jinyu was startled and asked hurriedly: "Where is my brother? Is he okay?"

Chen Laosan waved his hands, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Wang's howl.

"What, he fell? How did he fall? Where did he fall? Is it serious? Oh, God, you are blind. If anything happens to the eldest son, how can I live like this old woman?"

Liang Jinyu became annoyed after hearing this, and no longer counting on Chen Laosan, she quickly left the yard.

Not long after walking, she ran into Dani. She remembered Dani's identity and hurriedly said, "Your father fell down. I don't know if it's serious."

"Falling? Where did it fall?" Chen Dani asked curiously, not worried at all.

"I don't know. I'm just worried that something might happen to your uncle."

"I don't think so. Doesn't he have martial arts skills?"

[I haven't heard of it being mentioned in the book. It should be a minor problem. If it really did cause a problem, it would definitely be mentioned in the book.]

Hearing this, Liang Jinyu felt relieved.

I'm glad you're okay.

Facts have proved that Dani's words have come true once again.

It is said that Chen Lai-fu accidentally rolled down the hillside and broke his leg, but it is not a serious problem and he just needs to rest for a while.

"I was so scared at that time." After returning home, Liang Jinyu looked at Liang Dingfang who was not injured and said with relief.

Liang Dingfang washed his face and splashed the dirty water away, but he didn't expect that the dirty water would splash all over the person who came over.

Liang Jinyu glared at Liang Dingfang in reproach and went out to apologize: "Sorry, are your clothes wet?"

Chunniang patted the water stains on her body, shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'll just wipe it off."

Liang Jinyu didn't see much of it, so there was no entanglement.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Liang Jinyu asked.

This is the woodshed, Chunniang can't come here for no reason.

Chunniang glanced at Liang Dingfang and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

"I'll go to the front." Liang Dingfang was very sensible.

After everyone left, Liang Jinyu raised her chin and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Chunniang clutched the corner of her clothes and said awkwardly, "Can you please not tell anyone about Erniu coming to see me?"

"Why should I tell others? This has nothing to do with me." Liang Jinyu said distantly, not caring at all.

Chunniang felt a little relieved, and seemed to think she should say something more, so she thought for a moment and said, "Actually, Chen Laifu, he cares about you a lot."

"What did you say?" Liang Jinyu asked back.

"Really, he keeps saying he's sorry for you. He even cried last night. I can see he feels guilty." Chunniang said sympathetically, and then raised her head to look at Liang Jinyu pleadingly, "Why don't you move back to sleep? I can sleep on the bamboo bed, and I will definitely not disturb you."

Liang Jinyu looked at the poor skinny woman in front of her and felt pity from the bottom of her heart.

"Can you really see it? It's hard to paint the skin of a tiger, but you've only known him for a few days, can you really see it clearly?"

Chunniang was stunned and didn't understand why Liang Jinyu said this: "He is an honest man, although a little dull, but I think he is sincere to you."

"Okay, if you think he is a good person, you can live a good life with him in the future." Liang Jinyu was too lazy to waste words and simply kept Chunniang where she was.

Chen Lai-fu twisted his foot and couldn't get down.

Chunniang brought dinner to the room, and after dinner she brought hot water for him to wash his feet.

This series of actions made Wang very satisfied, but old man Chen was so angry that his face turned blue.

However, what made him even angrier was yet to come.

Originally Liang Jinyu didn't know about it. After all, she lived in the woodshed, which was far away and she couldn't hear anything going on in the house.

But who made her able to hear Dani's thoughts?

The next morning, Liang Jinyu got up and found that Chunniang had not gotten up. Instead, Dani was sleeping soundly on the bench in the kitchen.

"Dani, wake up. Why are you sleeping here?" Liang Jinyu shook her awake.

Chen Dani looked at her sleepily, and after a long while she let out a long sigh: "It's finally dawn."

"What's happening?" Liang Jinyu asked, tucking her messy hair behind her ears.

"Last night, the father and son competed with the pile driver..." Chen Dani stopped talking halfway.

[No, I'm a child, I can't say such dirty words.]

"Anyway, I was sleeping soundly, and Lao Deng suddenly kicked me out. Then there was a constant humming and groaning in the room, and the bed creaked as if it was about to fall apart. It happened in both rooms. I couldn't sleep all night because of the noise."

Liang Jinyu: “…”

"You heard it too?" Chen Dani approached Liang Jinyu, watching her expression change, and suddenly she was overjoyed and teased her deliberately, "It's so strange, why don't you let me stay in the room? The old woman screamed so loudly, so miserable, didn't the grandfather beat her? And that Chunniang, her voice was quieter, my father kept swearing."

"Okay, okay, stop talking." Liang Jinyu interrupted her, her whole face flushed.

Oh my god, she had heard something.
