Chapter 40: Sweating profusely, little uncle



"Shoucheng is right. Let's live in the mountains first and discuss it later after we get married."

After Mrs. He finished speaking, she turned and looked at her eldest grandson:

"Zhensheng, go to the Jiang family at noon and force them to return the money! The Jiang family is so shameless. Your mother is a useless softie. She won't be able to get it back even after ten years. She's already lost eighty dollars, and you still want to deny it all?!

A girl from this kind of family is not a good person anyway, so I can call off the engagement! But I must get my money back! Not a cent less! "

Jiang Henian's face tightened when he heard this, as he had eaten the melon on his head.

If Old Lady He knew that there was someone from the Jiang family squatting here, she wouldn't scold me too, right?

She immediately shrank her neck, squatted down, and quietly moved her feet, like a little frog, all the way to the other side to harvest the wheat.

He Jinshan saw this, raised his eyelids slightly, lost his patience to deal with these people, and interrupted them.

"No need to discuss. I'm used to staying in the barracks. I feel comfortable staying at the foot of the mountain. Whether I get married or not, I'll just consider it a separation."

This one sentence shocked everyone in the He family, and they all had different expressions.

On the other side, Jiang Henian was attracted by the gossip told by the women who had just started working in the wheat fields next door.

It just so happened that what they were talking about was the melon that she didn’t understand just now!

"Sister-in-law, what happened to that bald guy who fell into the manure pile just now? I think everyone doesn't like him very much."

"Hey! Sister, you just got married and you don't know, that guy is a bachelor, idle all day long, lazy in the fields, dirty hands and feet, and everyone hates him."

The middle-aged woman cut a handful of wheat neatly and continued with a sullen look:

"You young wives, next time you see him, remember to stay away. He's a pervert and a scoundrel with a pair of sneaky eyes. Last time, I caught him sneaking around the toilet in the cornfield! If I had evidence, I would have reported him to the team!"

"Last year, he went to harass a female educated youth and was chased out by the educated youth site staff with a broom. Wasn't it him who was arrested and imprisoned?"

Another woman chimed in, "Look at how miserable he looked this morning. It's no surprise he got punished! He deserves it! Even if he's lucky enough to survive, he's lost an eye and can't have children. Let's see if he dares to do that again..."

Jiang Henian was originally listening with great interest, but gradually his brows furrowed and his face became filled with surprise and doubt.

Baldy Chen, short and fat, pervert, toilet...

Being thrown into a cesspool...

Could it be... that guy is the peeping Tom pervert from yesterday?!

Jiang Henian suddenly turned his head and looked at He Jinshan.

Her action was so abrupt that it attracted the attention of the He family.

Four pairs of eyes, all staring.

Jiang Henian froze, and the expression on his face was almost out of control.

"That girl looks unfamiliar. Where is she from?"

Old Mrs. He used to be the daughter of a landlord. She had high standards and always liked bright colors for both men and women. However, she had poor legs and feet, so she rarely met people when she went out.

Seeing that the child had fair skin, bright eyes, delicate features, and was wearing a coarse cloth shirt but looked clean and pleasing, with quite a temperament, he couldn't help but like him and asked casually.

Zhang Fengying replied awkwardly: "...This is the daughter of the Jiang family."

Old Mrs. He's expression changed immediately. She snorted heavily and looked away in disgust.

She has a foxy look and you can tell at first glance that she is restless and incapable of working.

Jiang Henian: ...

She was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to react, and she looked at He Jinshan for help unconsciously.

"Sit down and rest for a while."

Old Mrs. He was angry with her grandson who wanted to divide the family property as soon as he came back. Upon hearing this, she clutched the handkerchief and snorted again.

"You old woman, you've come all this way, and now you only remember to let me rest for a while. I loved you so much when I was little!!"

Zhang Fengying, He Zhensheng, He Shoucheng: ...

He Zhensheng looked down at his third brother, who was clearly looking at the girl and talking to her. He wanted to scratch his head. "Stop talking about my brother! Grandma is going to be angry!"

His dear brother really heard his heart.

"Child, come and sit down."

Not only did he say it, he also raised his hand and hooked it with two fingers.

The posture is very familiar.

Old Mrs. He's face suddenly changed and she turned her head back.

His eyes quickly moved back and forth between his grandson and the daughter of the Jiang family who appeared out of nowhere, and he pointed at Jiang Henian with a grim face.

"What's going on! Why are you still involved with the Jiang family?!"

Zhang Fengying was also very surprised. Her son had not been back for ten years and had just broken off the engagement, so how could he be so familiar with the other party's sister?

He Shoucheng completed the instructions given by his wife and was in a good mood, enjoying the show.

Jiang Henian felt numb all over.

What... is going on?

The cunning old lady He glared at me with a very sharp look.

Jiang Henian felt that the group of women in the wheat field behind her were also looking at her, and their gazes were so sharp that her back was burning.

It’s hard to say, but she became the gossip spice for their work in the afternoon.

This is a pincer attack.

You're really sweating, uncle.

"Go into the mountains! Tell me clearly what you want to do! You just broke off the engagement with the Jiang family, what's going on with this little girl?"

He Jinshan was still sitting on the ground with a calm demeanor. Seeing that Jiang Henian, who had said that he wanted to get to know him openly as soon as possible, was like a frightened little rabbit, he slowly spoke:

"This piece of land is the task assigned to the two of us by the team today. My legs and feet are not good at squatting, and this kid has been busy all morning without stopping. I asked her to take a break."

At this moment, everyone looked at them with more complicated expressions.

He Shoucheng stared wide-eyed and looked back and forth at the wheat field that had just been harvested, which was only a few steps wide.

It’s not even as big as a kang. I’ve been busy for the whole morning???
