It was a small paper packet. Qiao Lian'er held the packet a little away from her nose, opened it, and took a light sniff. She felt her blood rushing to her head. It was indeed that kind of filthy stuff.
She quickly closed the paper package, rushed into the kitchen, scooped out half a ladle of water from the bucket, and drank it all, which cleared her slightly dizzy mind.
Seeing her unusual behavior, Da Yong looked puzzled and asked, "Lian'er, what's wrong?"
"Brother Dayong, come with me quickly." Qiao Lian'er ran out into the courtyard.
In the distance, at the foot of that mountain valley, one could vaguely see the figure of Old Lady Qiao, but she disappeared again as soon as she lowered her head.
Qiao Xi'er should be nearby.
But as long as she and the two elders are separated by a line of sight, Shen Liang can find an opportunity to strike.
Although the powder has been replaced, and Sister Xi'er is still very strong, there's not much to worry about Shen Liang succeeding. However, it's easy for a man and a woman to be alone together in public, and if the Shen family insists on it, it will be difficult to get rid of the situation.
Seeing Shen Liang lingering in the fields, she guessed he would make a move today, so she sent Fusheng and the others to exchange the goods, while she went to call Dayong back.
Who could be angrier than Dayong in this situation? Dayong's fist is the hardest.
Shen Liang searched for a long time before finally finding Qiao Xier.
Qiao Xi'er sat down to rest next to a clump of bamboo, fanning herself with a large leaf.
The reason she wanted to keep her distance from the two elders was to give them space to spend time together.
The two elders have many things to reminisce about from their youth. Although they are now old, they are still very close in private.
The pig feed basket on her back was full, and she planned to rest for a while, tell her parents that she was going home first.
After searching for pig feed under the sun for so long, a thin layer of sweat covered her face, and her fair face was slightly red from the sun, as if she had drunk a little wine and was slightly tipsy. Her delicate face was like a peach, making people want to take a bite.
Shen Liang stared at him, completely mesmerized.
If it weren't for Shi Murou, now that the Qiao family has risen to prominence, the Shen family would be very willing to discuss this marriage, and they might already be married.
However, it's not like there's no chance at all.
Although he had to resort to underhanded methods, he didn't feel that he was despicable; he was simply taking back what rightfully belonged to him.
Shen Liang tiptoed over, while Qiao Xi'er stared blankly at the thin river not far away, lost in thought.
When she noticed someone was beside her, she turned around warily and saw that it was Shen Liang.
Shen Liang had a smile on his face, but his smile made her feel a little uncomfortable, as if he was hiding something.
This disgusted her.
Qiao Xi'er frowned, immediately picked up the basket, and walked away without looking at Shen Liang again.
But in the blink of an eye, Shen Liang was already blocking his way.
"Xi'er, you won't give me a chance. You're going to hold onto my mistakes for the rest of your life. You're making things difficult for me, and you're also making things difficult for yourself."
He looked genuinely sincere: "I admit I really can't forget you. I'll do anything you ask, as long as it makes you feel better. Just say the word and I'll go through fire and water for you."
"You'll do whatever I tell you to do?" Qiao Xi'er sneered.
"Yes, I'll do whatever you say," Shen Liang quickly assured him.
"Fine, I'll make you disappear from my sight right now. Don't pollute my eyes anymore. From now on, avoid me whenever you see me, so I don't feel disgusted by you." Qiao Xi'er uttered each word with icy coldness.
Seeing her like this, Shen Liang knew he couldn't persuade her anymore, and he had to finish the job quickly.
His face darkened instantly: "Qiao Xi'er, you're the one who won't listen to reason, so don't blame me."
As he spoke, he threw the things in his hand in front of Qiao Xier.
