Chapter 045: I need a dog at home
Su Wan felt ashamed of his thoughts. The other person had a normal sexual orientation and would be the aggressor.
Jiang Yu certainly didn't know what she was thinking. He was just curious about what his savior looked like and whether he was the same as he imagined.
He has been taking medicine continuously these days. The second brother told me that after he finished all the medicine, he should ask the third brother to go to the county to find him again and get some more medicine to continue his recovery.
After several days of harvesting corn, all the corn in the field has been harvested and is now hanging under the eaves. A small hill has formed in the corner of the wall. The corn has to be threshed by hand and then ground into cornmeal with a borrowed millstone.
Next, we have to dig up sweet potatoes and potatoes, fill the cellar, and prepare to spend the winter peacefully.
While the third, fourth and fifth brothers went to dig, Su Wan cooked at home and shelled the corn kernels in his spare time. The corn had been ripe for a long time and had been exposed to the sun in the field for two months. It had become old, hard and dry.
It takes a lot of effort to peel it at first, but it becomes easier after peeling a few rows.
Jiang Yu knew that she was peeling corn kernels, and thought that since he had nothing to do anyway, he could help peel them.
He was blind, so Su Wan moved a chair with an armchair for him to sit on under the eaves and put a frame in front of him, and he peeled the vegetables by feeling.
The two of them sat together, quite harmoniously, basically not talking to each other, just quietly doing their own things.
Jiang Yu was strong and peeled quickly, filling the bottom in a short while. However, Su Wan's body was originally delicate and she didn't have much strength, so her fingers turned red after peeling for a while.
Maybe he was really bored, so Su Wan secretly started to catch up with Jiang Yu's progress. He was neither hurried nor slow, and every kernel of corn fell into the frame without a single kernel scattered outside, unlike Su Wan, who had a lot of corn scattered around.
Finally, after an hour, Su Wan couldn't help but ask:
"Jiang Yu, aren't you bored?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu turned his head towards her, but his eyes were still closed.
"It's okay, doing this can help me calm down!"
Su Wan: “…”
But she couldn't calm down...
“Hehehe…Alright!”
Hearing the helplessness in her tone, Jiang Yu smiled, but the smile disappeared in a flash.
At this time, Chen Yinghong passed by the Su family courtyard and saw two people working in the courtyard. One of them was not one of the five brothers of the Su family.
Out of curiosity, Chen Yinghong stopped and lay over the fence to peek.
The man had his back to her and she couldn't see his face clearly, but based on her understanding of Gu Yue from playing with him since childhood, she knew that he was not one of the five brothers.
"Ahem...Su Wan!"
Su Wan, who was working hard, heard someone calling him and looked back.
Jiang Yu moved his head slightly. He had already noticed that someone was watching outside.
"Chen Yinghong"
Su Wan seldom saw her during this period, because it was the busy farming season and every household was busy. The Su family lived at the foot of the mountain at the innermost part of the village, and few people came here, so this small courtyard was relatively quiet on weekdays.
Chen Yinghong spoke in an arrogant tone, and that person still disliked her.
"What? What do you want me to do?" Su Wan's tone was not much better.
Chen Yinghong rolled her eyes. Out of curiosity, she stared at the back. Her long hair was tied up with a piece of cloth. It spread on her back like black silk. Her hair quality was better than that of a woman.
"Is there a guest at your house? Who is this?" Chen Yinghong looked gossipy.
Su Wan was speechless. So he came here just to get gossip?
“This is my cousin!”
According to Su Chen, just tell others that Jiang Yu is a cousin.
"Impossible, Yueyue and I grew up together, how come I haven't heard that you have a cousin?
I do have a cousin, and I've even met her before! Don't try to trick me!"
Chen Yinghong directly denied Su Wan's statement and refused to believe it at all. She thought that there must be something fishy going on when a man and a woman were alone together.
Su Wan also rolled her eyes. This woman is really nosy. She must live by the sea, but she is so nosy.
"No, who are you? Do I know you well? Do I have the obligation to explain so much to you?
This is my distant cousin, do you have any objections? What's the big deal about you meeting my cousin? You're familiar with Gu Yue, so why don't you go play with her? Why are you coming to me to show off your presence?"
Since they are not on the same path, she didn't look happy.
Chen Yinghong's face turned red after being scolded. She couldn't speak for a while. She just kept arguing with him and got herself angry.
"You are such a fierce person, who would want to play with you in the future?"
She choked there for a long time, and finally blurted out these words, feeling helpless and furious.
"I won't play with you anyway!" Su Wan's indifferent look and calmness were the most irritating.
"Yueyue is so sensible and well-behaved. You're not even half as good as her. No wonder your brothers don't like you. Even if you're their biological child, so what? You can never compare to the relationship Yueyue has had with them for over a decade!"
Chen Yinghong was anxious and blurted out all sorts of things. Just as these words touched Su Wan's trap, her face turned gloomy.
"Looks like we need a dog at home, otherwise any troublemakers who come here will howl!"
She was very angry and felt very upset, but she was not wrong.
She is not liked by all her brothers now, but it doesn’t matter, she still has time and can take it slowly.
"You, forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you!"
Chen Yinghong was still busy delivering things to the fields, she stamped her feet and left.
Jiang Yu remained silent. As a man, it was not appropriate for him to interfere in the bickering of the little girls. Moreover, he could not let too many people deal with him now. His injuries had not yet healed fully, and he did not want to alert the enemy in case of any trouble.
He was able to escape only after he dragged the killers to death. Someone went back to report the news, but the mastermind behind the scenes had not seen his body and probably would not believe that he was dead.
However, he did see that the little girl had another look on her face, and she was no slouch when it came to quarrels, and if he had not heard it with his own ears, he would have thought that she was as quiet and polite as she had been a few days ago.
Although I couldn't see her expression, I could clearly feel the low pressure around her.
He was not a nosy person, so he didn't ask her anything.
However, he had also realized during this period that the Su family was not wealthy, and was even quite poor. With so many children in the family, they only had simple meals for three meals a day, and their clothes were made of patches of cloth. Now there was one more person to feed, and he also had to get medicine, so he must have to count every penny carefully.
"Miss Su Wan, did you bring my sword back then?"
Su Wan was feeling depressed. When she heard his voice suddenly, she looked up at him blankly.
"Ah... I brought it. I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me. I kept your sword and mask for you!"
She really didn't think about it. After bringing the things back, she stuffed them under the bed. She really didn't intend to embezzle them.
