Chapter 287
"Sure!" Ye Fuyue agreed with a smile. "I'll ask Yu Tong to come along when the time comes. Last time, I gave her some of the mountain products we picked, and she even asked us to ask her to come along next time we go picking mountain products."
"Yu Tong is our friend, and he's a very nice person. We'll introduce him to you when the time comes." Wu Qiao'er and Yu Wanying explained, then said to Ye Fuyue, "Then ask Yu Tong to come along."
With one more person coming, Yu Wanying was even happier.
She said, "Let's each bring some food. One portion is enough."
"Okay." Ye Fuyue and Wu Qiaoer responded.
…
As we enter December, the weather is getting colder.
Ye Fuyue and Chen Guifeng like to set up a stove in the main room and put an iron net on the stove, and roast something to eat while drinking tea.
The chatting spot in her large courtyard was also moved from the yard to indoors.
In addition to Aunt Donghong, Zhong Lan and Cui Li, Wu Zhenzhen also joined in.
This time, Ye Fuyue baked some sweet potato chips and potato chips.
"Zhenzhen, how is your job going? Have you found someone to take over your job temporarily?" Aunt Donghong asked.
"Not yet." Wu Zhenzhen said half-truthfully.
"I saw that Tian Hao's two sisters-in-law wanted you to give them your job temporarily last time, but you didn't give it to them, right?" Aunt Donghong said.
"No."
"That's right." Aunt Donghong said, "Except for Tian Hao, everyone else in the Tian family is a tough guy. If you give your job to someone in the Tian family temporarily, you will definitely not get it back."
"Yeah, that's what Tian Hao told me too," Wu Zhenzhen said.
Aunt Donghong took a bite of the freshly baked sweet potato chips and exclaimed, "They are so delicious and chewy."
Ye Fuyue smiled and said, "These sweet potatoes are dried before being baked, so they are more chewy."
"Next time I'll bring my dried sweet potatoes to your place to roast. I can't always eat yours." Aunt Donghong said.
Zhong Lan, Cui Li, and Wu Zhenzhen also said, "Next time we'll bring some food to grill."
Ye Fuyue smiled and didn't say no.
She likes people who have a sense of propriety and don't like to take advantage of others.
"How is Yao Yi now?" Chen Guifeng asked Zhong Lan, "I haven't seen her come back once."
Ye Fuyue and the others also looked at Zhong Lan curiously.
"She's probably not doing well," Zhong Lan said. "My mother-in-law has secretly visited her several times, but she never went into the Ma family's house. She just watched from a distance. She said Yao Yi has to do a lot of work all day, and she's lost weight, and there are always scars on her face."
"She has to do a lot of work?" Aunt Donghong was a little confused. "She doesn't need to work in the fields or look after the children. The only chores left at home are washing clothes, cooking, and cleaning. It's not a lot of work, is it?"
"I don't know. I heard it from my mother-in-law." Zhong Lan said.
"Your mother-in-law must be worried about Yao Yi, so she exaggerated a bit. However, it's probably true that Yao Yi didn't have a good life in the Ma family," said Aunt Donghong.
"My mother-in-law wanted my elder and second brothers to stand up for Yao Yi, but I refused. She even came to find Fu Yue and Shen Yao. Later, she really couldn't find anyone to stand up for Yao Yi, so she gave up the idea." Zhong Lan said.
"It is said that it is difficult for an honest judge to settle family affairs. If even an honest judge cannot settle family affairs, how can we, who are not related to the family, care about other people's affairs? Your mother-in-law is just desperate and trying all kinds of methods." Aunt Donghong said.
Zhong Lan nodded in agreement.
"Where is your mother-in-law? Your father-in-law won't let her go out?" Aunt Donghong asked Cui Li again.
Cui Li shook her head.
"Your father-in-law has a bad temper." Aunt Donghong sighed, "There shouldn't be anything wrong with your mother-in-law and Old Man Chen."
"I don't think it's a big deal." Cui Li said truthfully.
Aunt Donghong sighed again, feeling that it was really hard to comment on Aunt Liang's matter.
A few of them chatted about other gossips in the compound, and when it was time to go back and make lunch, they dispersed.
Wu Zhenzhen deliberately dawdled and walked at the back.
Seeing that Zhong Lan, Aunt Donghong and the others had left the yard, Wu Zhenzhen ran back to the main room.
Seeing this, Chen Guifeng asked her, "What's wrong? Did you drop something?"
"Aunt, Fu Yue, there is something I want to discuss with you." Wu Zhenzhen said.
Ye Fuyue and Chen Guifeng both looked at her and motioned her to continue.
"Regarding my job, what do you think? How about I ask Zhong Lan to take over temporarily?"
Wu Zhenzhen paused and continued, "You all know a little about my family's situation and the Tian family's. I'm worried about leaving it to our relatives. Cui Li is a good person, but Aunt Liang and Father Liang are both very powerful people. I'm afraid that even if Cui Li is willing to return the job to me, Aunt Liang will find a way to stop it."
Chen Guifeng understood what Wu Zhenzhen meant and said, "Zhong Lan is a good person. She will definitely return the job to you. Her family is very sensible and will definitely not be interested in this job. Are you worried that Aunt Xie might have some ulterior motives?"
Wu Zhenzhen nodded.
"Zhong Lan is now standing very straight and doesn't listen to Aunt Xie much. Even if Aunt Xie has some ulterior motives, Zhong Lan probably won't pay any attention to her." Chen Guifeng said.
Ye Fuyue pondered, "Aunt Xie is worried sick about Yao Yi right now. If she really has ulterior motives, she probably wants to give your job to Yao Yi. However, the Ma family will definitely not let Yao Yi go out to work and get out of their control."
After hearing this, Wu Zhenzhen had the answer in her heart and felt much more relieved.
"I understand. I'll go talk to Zhong Lan about this now." Wu Zhenzhen thanked Chen Guifeng and Ye Fuyue and left.
Wu Zhenzhen caught up with Zhong Lan and told her that she hoped Zhong Lan could take over her job temporarily and return it to her after she gave birth to the baby.
Zhong Lan was flattered: "Why are you looking for me?"
Wu Zhenzhen smiled bitterly and said, "I feel that it's more reliable to find you than to find my relatives."
Zhong Lan was happy and excited about Wu Zhenzhen's trust.
"Well, don't worry, I will definitely return your job to you." Zhong Lan said, "But I have to talk to my family about this first. Zao'er is still young. If I really take over your job temporarily, someone will need to help me look after Zao'er."
"Okay, you think about it first and tell me when you have a result." Wu Zhenzhen said.
Zhong Lan nodded.
She was very excited.
Although I was only helping Wu Zhenzhen temporarily, during this period, the family had an extra income. It's better to have money than not to have money.
What's more, the fact that Wu Zhenzhen came to her proved that she trusted her character. It felt so good to be recognized and trusted by others.
So, at the lunch table, Zhong Lan, Yao Hong, Aunt Xie and Yao's father mentioned that Wu Zhenzhen asked her to take over her job temporarily.
Yao Hong, Aunt Xie, and Father Yao were all surprised. They didn't expect Wu Zhenzhen to find Zhong Lan.
Zhong Lan said solemnly, "I really want to take over Zhenzhen's job temporarily, and after Zhenzhen gives birth, I will definitely return the job to her. However, if I go to work, Zao'er will have to trouble her mother to help look after her during this period."
