When Mrs. Li returned home, Qin Nian had already cleaned the house inside and out, with the windows open, making the house cool and quiet. But it had been empty for so long that it lacked the presence of a human.
Mrs. Li stood in the house for a long time, she was a little confused, and seemed to have no idea what to do. After a while, she sighed, came out of the house, and went to the next door.
"Auntie Li! When did you come back?"
Ye Meizi, who was busy in the kitchen, saw that the person who came in was Li Pozi. She shouted excitedly, then came over, hugged Li Pozi and started crying.
She felt aggrieved because she had been framed by Geng Zhenlan and Tang Laoer, and Tang Xiaomei had to stay at home.
Now, Geng Feng has accepted Yu Xiaohan's life-saving grace and agreed to get engaged to her. It seems that Yu Xiaohan will have to stay at home and cannot leave.
Other people raise their sons well, why is it that when it comes to her, she is always being relied on? Maybe it is a preconceived notion, she thinks Yu Xiaohan is not as good as Qin Nian, she doesn't like him from the bottom of her heart, not at all.
She felt regretful, as deep as the sea, and this feeling made her feel very uncomfortable. She wanted to talk to someone, but who could understand this feeling?
Everyone thinks that she doesn't know how lucky she is.
She even felt a little resentful towards Geng Feng. How could he not stand the loneliness? She would remember the life-saving grace and repay him with her whole life.
But I can't repay her with marriage. Yu Xiaohan is eloquent, sweet-mouthed, and hard-working, and he is good at everything he does.
But Ye Meizi just couldn't like him. She always felt that Yu Xiaohan was far inferior to Qin Nian.
It's bad in every aspect. I don't understand what Geng Feng is thinking.
But Ye Meizi also understood that if Yu Xiaohan and Qin Nian were put together and Geng Feng was asked to choose, Geng Feng would not choose Yu Xiaohan even if he was blind.
The only thing to blame is that Geng Feng and Qin Nian were not destined to be together. They missed each other once, and again.
Mrs. Li understood Ye Meizi's feelings. She patted Ye Meizi's back gently a few times and said nothing.
Nothing to say.
"grandmother."
Geng Feng came out of the house and let out a low cry. His face was full of guilt, as if he had done something wrong. He didn't even dare to look up at Mrs. Li.
Granny Li looked at Geng Feng and said with a smile, "Geng Feng, it's good that you're back. It's good that you're back. Your mother missed you so much during the time you were away."
"Geng Feng, is that grandma?"
Yu Xiaohan followed him out, staring with her dark eyes and a pure look on her face. She was indeed very pretty, the kind that looked prettier the more you looked at her.
When she heard Geng Feng calling Mrs. Li "grandma", she thought it was Ye Meizi's mother who came, so she hurried out and wanted to show herself.
Geng Feng never mentioned to Yu Xiaohan that her mother's parents had passed away a long time ago, and her two uncles lived quite far away. They had visited her several times in the past few years, and each time they complained that Ye Meizi did not help them.
After saying it so many times, Ye Meizi also got annoyed. How could their family not have a hard life? After several quarrels, the two brothers remembered the grudge and stopped communicating with them for many years.
Yu Xiaohan had no idea of this. She wished that all of Geng Feng’s relatives knew her, knew that she was Geng Feng’s fiancée, and praised her sincerely.
Ye Meizi wiped the tears from her face and said with hatred in her voice: "This is Xiao Nian's grandmother. She is no different from Geng Feng's biological grandmother."
"ah!"
The excitement in Yu Xiaohan's voice faded, and she smiled at Li Pozi, not calling her grandma. She was actually jealous of Qin Nian, and she didn't think highly of anyone who had anything to do with Qin Nian.
Mrs. Li didn't care whether she greeted him or not, or whether she was polite or not.
"Auntie Li, please come in and sit down. We haven't talked together for many days."
Geng Feng also said, "Grandma, please sit inside."
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "I came to see you. I hope you are all well. I need to make some flour and steam buns. I will ask someone to harvest wheat tomorrow, so I won't sit down.
When you have some free time in the future, you will have plenty of time to talk."
When Ye Meizi heard about steaming buns, she said hastily, "I'll help you for a while."
Mrs. Li shook her head and said, "I can still knead the dough. You have a lot of work to do at home, so I won't bother you. Meizi, I'm leaving now. When you are free, come to my room and talk."
After saying that, she pushed the door open and went back to her home. She kneaded the dough and sighed. Geng Feng was someone she watched grow up, and he was a young man she had high hopes for.
Didn't she have any regrets about missing Qin Nian and Geng Feng? But fate played tricks on people, so what could she do with regrets?
Qin Nian came back from the headman's house and saw Yu Xiaohan standing next to Geng Feng's warehouse.
There is a shade there.
Yu Xiaohan was wearing a half-new aqua dress, like a small mountain flower blooming beside a warehouse, beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Seeing Qin Nian, Yu Xiaohan smiled and greeted: "Sister Qin, are you out?"
Qin Nian nodded and said softly, "I went to the village head's house and asked him to help me find a few people to harvest wheat tomorrow."
"Sister Qin, do you need to hire someone to harvest the wheat? Can't you harvest the wheat yourself with your own hands and feet? Hiring someone is such a waste."
Qin Nian glanced at her and said, "I planted nearly a hundred acres of wheat. It takes many days to harvest it myself. Wheat waits for no one. If you harvest it too late, it will all lie on the ground and be wasted."
One hundred acres of land? Qin Nian's family has one hundred acres of land? Yu Xiaohan suddenly became very nervous.
"Geng Feng, Geng Feng."
Geng Feng didn't know whether he didn't hear it or didn't want to talk, so he didn't respond in the room.
Yu Xiaohan shouted a few more times in a loud voice, glancing at Qin Nian: "I see that the families in Dawa Village all have yards.
Why doesn't our house have a yard? Let's build a wall to make it tight and safe."
The words were said to Geng Feng in the room, but they were meant for Qin Nian to hear. This girl had a lot of ideas, but her methods were not good. Qin Nian looked at her and wanted to laugh.
Why did Yu Xiaohan care so much about these little things? Did he care that she was engaged to Geng Feng?
She wanted Geng Feng to completely forget the past? Using these useless words? If Geng Feng couldn't forget it for the time being, wouldn't these words serve as a reminder?
If you really want to completely win Geng Feng's heart, you should manage your relationship well, which is much more useful than talking nonsense.
Then he thought again, a girl living in the mountains has little experience, and she thought that by provoking her or Geng Feng with words, the two of them would be alert at all times and keep their distance.
Qin Nian smiled. Yu Xiaohan really didn’t understand. If she wanted to snatch the person away, Geng Feng would be able to send Yu Xiaohan back in less than three days.
He just didn't bother to do that.
Mrs. Li was in the room and heard the conversation between Qin Nian and Yu Xiaohan. When Qin Nian entered the room, she looked at Qin Nian and whispered, "Xiao Nian, this girl Geng Feng brought back, I feel like she is very scheming and doesn't look like a good person.
Geng Feng's life was unlucky. He finally got rid of Tang Xiaomei, but then he got into trouble with this kind of person.
I can tell that your Aunt Geng is not too happy either. She was crying when I went over there just now."
"Grandma, let's live our own lives and don't get involved in other people's affairs."
Qin Nian lowered her voice and said, “Yu Xiaohan and her grandfather saved Geng Feng’s life. From this point of view, she is kind.
She was engaged to Geng Feng and fell in love with him. She was very bothered by his past. Because of this, she kept provoking me with words every time she saw me.
Provoking me is nothing, because I don't care about her at all. If she continues to provoke Geng Feng for a long time, she will destroy the not-so-deep relationship between her and Geng Feng.
I wonder if she understands this principle."
When Mrs. Li heard this, she stopped kneading the dough and said, "Xiao Nian, you mean, Geng Feng treated her--"
"Grandma, Geng Feng lost faith in life because of Tang Xiaomei's incident. He ran away from home in despair. He fell ill and was saved by Yu Xiaohan's grandfather.
It was Yu Xiaohan's family who took the initiative to propose the engagement, and he had no other choice at the time, so he agreed.
If Yu Xiaohan manages this relationship well, Geng Feng's character will definitely help them develop a relationship. When they get married, they will live a loving and sweet life.
If Yu Xiaohan keeps saying these useless things, it’s hard to say what the result will be.”
After a pause, Qin Nian continued, "After harvesting the wheat, I will go to the county town to buy bricks and build the courtyard wall.
Let’s also build the wall between our house and Aunt Geng’s house.
It's not the same as before, it's better to let each other go their separate ways, so that as time goes by, unnecessary gossip will arise."
Mrs. Li nodded: "It was so good before. The two families could visit each other easily and the two families were like one family. What a pity."
"Grandma, don't think about it. The dough is ready. Cover it with a basin to keep it awake. I'll turn on the electric stove to boil water so that we can steam the buns."
After saying this, Qin Nian came to the yard, squatted on the ground, and lit the simple stove.
While she was washing the pot, Yu Xiaohan, who was standing next to the warehouse, ran over and said, "Sister Qin, what do you want to do? Let me help you. I can see everything. Geng Feng said that this is what she likes most about me."
Qin Nian smiled and refused: "I'll light the stove to boil water, and it will take a while to steam the buns. I don't have any other work here, you can go help Aunt Geng, she has a lot of work to do."
"My aunt doesn't need my help."
Yu Xiaohan smiled shyly: "Geng Feng is at home, rushing to do all the work, and he doesn't want me to get tired. He cares about me so much that I feel a little embarrassed."
Qin Nian almost laughed out loud when she heard Yu Xiaohan say that. If she guessed correctly, Ye Meizi must be angry.
But Yu Xiaohan's appearance in her house was different from Tang Xiaomei's. Tang Xiaomei moved in by force after scheming against Geng Feng. Yu Xiaohan was agreed to by Geng Feng.
The two people have different personalities, so Ye Meizi was holding her anger in her heart, but she couldn't vent it on Yu Xiaohan.
Geng Feng knew how depressed his mother was, and he rushed to work desperately, out of a desire to "atone for his sins", and had nothing to do with feeling sorry for Yu Xiaohan.
However, Yu Xiaohan would come over from time to time and say useless words, which made Qin Nian more determined to build the courtyard wall.
Qin Nian glanced at Yu Xiaohan and said, "Geng Feng loves you, that's a good thing, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Qin Nian wanted to smile and show off her happiness? There was really no need.
"Xiao Nian Nian, what delicious food are you going to make? You naughty girl, you don't even know to ask the master first, and I have to do it myself."
Following the sound, Lin Tiancheng and Su Bi walked in. Su Bi was holding two paper bags in her hands. A fragrant smell wafted out, and one could tell at once that it was cooked food.
Qin Nian smiled and held Lin Tiancheng's arm: "Master, why did you come just now? I thought you were drunk."
"With this eyesore like Su Bi around, how can I get drunk? No, I have to send this thing back to the mountain.
After he leaves and you have finished collecting the land, we will travel the world together, doing justice and robbing the rich to help the poor. But you can't stop me from drinking. If you stop me, I will send you to the mountain too.
You don't know, the leader's character is very similar to Su Bi, they are both hypocrites. No, when I return to the mountain, I have to talk to the leader. The next generation leader must be you, and Su Bi cannot be the leader.
Otherwise, our Tianyuan Sect will slowly become like Su Bi and his disciples, and be despised by others."
Qin Nian chuckled: "Okay, Master, send Su Bi back tomorrow and let him stay on the mountain. Don't let him come out again."
She was so happy that she looked at Su Bi with her eyes bent: "Brother, what delicious food did you buy? It smells so good."
Su Bi patted Qin Nian's head lovingly: "Brother picked out the ones we bought, they are all what our little Nian likes to eat."
When Mrs. Li heard the voice, she came out and Su Bi hurriedly greeted her.
Lin Tiancheng also became serious: "I heard from Xiao Nian that you went to your cousin's house when she went to the border? When did you come back?"
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "I came back today. Xiao Nian brought me back."
Qin Nian asked his master and senior brother to come into the house: "You guys sit down for a while, I'll boil some water and steam the buns."
After she finished speaking, she came out of the house and saw Yu Xiaohan still standing beside her iron pot, with a dazed look on her face. Seeing Qin Nian looking at her, Yu Xiaohan asked, "Qin Nian, are the people around you so nice to you?"
Qin Nian nodded: "Yes, isn't your grandfather also good to you?"
"My grandfather is my relative, so it's not surprising that he is so nice to me. I mean, an outsider, why is he so nice to you?"
Qin Nian's eyes flashed with surprise: "My master and senior brother are not outsiders, right?"
Yu Xiaohan opened her mouth, as if hesitating, but after a while she finally asked the question she wanted to know the most: "Was Geng Feng so nice to you before?"
Qin Nian stood up.
"Yu Xiaohan, whether Geng Feng was good to me or not is all in the past. Why do you have to dwell on it? You chose Geng Feng, and he chose you. You should just manage your relationship well.
Especially you, there is really no need to keep testing and asking like this, it will do you no good."
Yu Xiaohan's face flushed, anger surfaced: "If I ask him about his past, it will be of no benefit to me?"
Qin Nian was also angry: "Yu Xiaohan, if I say that Geng Feng was not nice to me before, it would be against my will. If I say that Geng Feng was extremely nice to me, it would hurt your heart.
I ask you, do you want to hear something against your will or something that hurts your heart? I guess you don’t want either. So don’t ask. As I said before, asking will do you no good.
"Xiao Nian, it's too hot. I'll light the fire, and you go inside to hide from the sun."
Su Bi walked out with long legs and gently pushed Qin Nian: "Go inside."
He knew that Qin Nian hated Yu Xiaohan, but Yu Xiaohan still stood there and refused to leave, even talking to Qin Nian about useless nonsense. Like a cicada, it kept chirping endlessly.
