Chapter 114: Let them regret it
Several people sat on the haystack and chatted.
Shang Ruoting suddenly remembered that Lin Erniu's attitude towards Yangmei was very unusual that day, so she simply asked about it.
"Yangmei, I think Brother Erniu seems to be interested in you?"
When Yang Mei saw Shang Ruoting mentioned Lin Erniu, her face suddenly changed and she hesitated for a long time without saying anything.
Instead, it was Yang Tao who talked a lot.
"Sister Ruoting, Brother Erniu is a good person, but there's been rumors in the village these past few days that Aunt Lin is trying to introduce him to someone."
"Aunt Lin knew that Erniu was interested in my sister, but she still did this. It's obvious that she doesn't approve of their relationship."
"If you ask me..."
"Taozi, stop talking." Yangmei's eyes were filled with tears and she interrupted Yangtao's next words.
She wiped her tears and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Ruoting, it's impossible for Erniu and I to be together. Let's not talk about this anymore."
There is nothing Shang Ruoting doesn't understand now. Even if Yang Mei hadn't been bullied by Yu Laizi, based on their family situation, the Lin family would definitely not agree to Lin Erniu being with her.
After all, no one was well off at that time, and Yangmei still had so many younger brothers and sisters to support.
Shang Ruoting is quite open-minded about this kind of thing.
"Yangmei, I understand all of this. You're a good person and capable. It's Lin Erniu's loss that he can't marry you. As long as you firmly believe that you are the best, you will have a day to turn things around sooner or later. When that happens, make their family regret it."
Yang Mei burst into laughter after hearing what she said: "Haha... I will definitely work hard to let my brothers and sisters live a good life."
While chatting, Shang Ruoting went to the backyard to take a look at the vegetable garden she had planted a few days ago.
She hasn't come here since she watered the plant with some diluted spiritual spring water on the day of planting, and it has been Tan Chen who has been taking care of it.
Thanks to the spiritual spring water, the crops that had only been planted for a few days have sprouted and are growing well.
Shang Ruoting took the opportunity to water the crops with some diluted spiritual spring water. This way, the crops would grow a little faster and not too abruptly.
Yang Xiu was not hungry and was easy to take care of. He just needed to watch over him and make sure he didn't get bumped or bruised. Yang Tao also helped Shang Ruoting water the vegetable garden.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Tan Chen drove a tractor to transport back the second batch of blue bricks, and the Yang sisters still helped unload the truck.
This time, Tan Chen brought back quite a lot of bricks, and it was already four o'clock when the guys finished their work.
Shang Ruoting looked at the sweaty Yang sisters and said, "Yangmei, Taozi, come to my house for dinner tonight!"
Yang Mei refused repeatedly: "No, Ruoting, Yang Liu and Yang Xu will be out of school soon, I have to go back and cook for them."
Shang Ruoting had invited her sincerely, so how could she refuse?
"Wait until they come back and come together."
Tan Chen had already started the tractor: "I'm going to the team to deliver the tractor, and I'll go to your house to pick up Yang Liu and Yang Xu." After saying that, the tractor drove out of the yard.
Seeing this, Yang Mei did not refuse anymore. She and Yang Tao each took Yang Xiu's hand and followed Shang Ruoting home.
When Old Mrs. Shang saw guests coming to her house, she was genuinely happy for Shang Ruoting. She had to support her granddaughter in having a close friend.
Therefore, Old Mrs. Shang did not feel sorry for the food today. In addition to the white rice as the staple food, she also brought a lot of salted fish from the backyard.
Yang Mei and Shang Ruoting took the initiative to help Old Lady Shang cook in the kitchen. Before dinner, Tan Chen came back with Yang Liu and Yang Xu.
The food was placed on the table, and Shang Ruoting even made a bowl of fruit juice for each person. The Yang siblings didn't dare to pick up their chopsticks. God knows how long it had been since they had seen such decent food.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Shang took the lead in putting a piece of fish into each person's bowl.
"Yangmei, tell your brothers and sisters to start eating. The food will get cold and won't taste good."
Shang Ruoting also picked up Yang Xiu: "Xiu Xiu, what do you want to eat? Sister Ruoting will pick it up for you."
Yang
Xiu was now familiar with Shang Ruoting, and pointed at the fish in the bowl and said, "Eat some meat."
Shang Ruoting quickly picked up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth.
Seeing this, the others stopped being polite and picked up their chopsticks to eat.
After dinner, Yangmei helped Old Lady Shang clean up before leaving with her younger brothers and sisters.
Old Lady Shang looked at the backs of the siblings and sighed, "These children have suffered so much. If we can help them in the future, let's help them more!"
Through the contact over the past few days, Shang Ruoting has learned that her grandmother is a kind-hearted old lady.
"I know milk."
The grandparents talked about Yangmei for a while before going back to their rooms to rest. Tan Chen knew that Shang Ruoting had the habit of washing up before going to bed, so he had already lit the stove in the kitchen to boil water.
Therefore, Shang Ruoting did not find the opportunity to enter the space today. She simply washed up and returned to her room.
Tan Chen was sitting at the table, fiddling with some receipts in the light of an oil lamp. When he saw Shang Ruoting coming over, he placed the receipts neatly on the table.
"This is the receipt for bricks, this is for wood, and this is for steel bars. I've paid for them all, and they'll be shipped back in the next few days."
Shang Ruoting looked at the amount of money on the receipt and knew that the money in Tan Chen's hand had been almost spent.
I couldn't help but laugh in my heart. This man is really awkward. He didn't ask her directly for the money when he spent it, but played with these receipts in front of her.
She pretended to open the suitcase, reached in, took out a stack of money, counted out twenty Great Unity Banknotes and handed them to him in front of Tan Chen.
