“Zhao Lishi said openly and secretly that the girl couldn’t have children, and she went around saying it, so that even the girl’s parents found out. At first, the girl also thought that she was the one who couldn’t have children.”
"But after seeing several doctors, they all said he had no problem, so the girl suggested that Zhao Dazhuang see a doctor to see if it was his problem."
"Unexpectedly, Zhao Lishi, who was out working, overheard this and slapped the girl on the spot. However, the girl was not one to be trifled with and threatened Zhao Dazhuang that if he didn't go to see a doctor, they would get a divorce."
"So, are they divorced yet?" Jiang Hua listened with great interest. It was good to be in the village, where she could hear all this gossip.
"They got divorced. The doctor diagnosed that Zhao Dazhuang was infertile, and the girl made a scene about getting a divorce that very day."
"Back then, Zhao Lishi went around saying that she couldn't have children. After getting the divorce papers, the girl also talked about Zhao Dazhuang's infertility from one end of the village to the other, and even told everyone in the surrounding villages for miles around."
"Wow, that's awesome!"
Qingyue quickly jumped down from the roof, took out a handful of melon seeds, and started eating them while urging Fang Peiyun to continue. She also thoughtfully gave a handful of melon seeds to Jiang Hua and Granny Jiang.
"Keep going, what are you looking at me for? I'm really enjoying the conversation!" Qingyue urged, looking at Fang Peiyun who was in a daze.
"The matchmakers who came later all knew about his family and were unwilling to introduce him to anyone. Zhao Lishi even came to ask Granny Luo if Songzi and Shuanghua were willing to marry his son."
"I don't want to get married. I want to stay with Miss for the rest of my life," Shuanghua said with a look of disgust.
"Granny Luo ignored her and then set her sights on me again." Fang Peiyun's tone was also full of disdain. She had come to the door several times, so she had no choice but to move to town, and only then did things calm down a bit.
“Now she goes up to any family with an unmarried girl and asks them for a marriage proposal. Now everyone in the village avoids her family like the plague.”
"Tsk, how shameless! Does she really have to get married and inherit his family's small plot of land?" Qingyue spat out a sunflower seed shell and complained.
"Alright, don't overthink it. You're not afraid of him, are you?"
Jiang Hua persuaded the two, and just as she was about to get up to go to the barbecue stall, she saw Sun Nian carrying two bamboo stalks. Before he even arrived, her voice could already be heard in the yard.
"Peiyun, I took some time to cut two bamboo stalks for you, so you don't have to go out to cut bamboo so early, and you might catch a cold." Sun Nian carried the bamboo in, and his voice stopped abruptly when he saw Jiang Hua and the others.
"Miss Jiang, when did you get back?" Sun Nian quickly put the bamboo down.
"Brother Sun, thank you for your hard work." Fang Peiyun quickly stood up to express her gratitude.
"You came back last night, shouldn't you be at Mingyue Tower right now?"
Jiang Hua looked at the two of them with a probing gaze, and seeing that Sun Nian's ears were red, she scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.
"Well, I saw that Peiyun was having a hard time all by herself, so I thought I'd come and help her out." He spoke awkwardly, and after thinking for a moment, he added, "Miss Jiang, Peiyun, there's still work to be done at the restaurant, so I'll head back now."
Before she could finish speaking, she had already disappeared. Jiang Hua gave Fang Peiyun a meaningful look before leaving for the barbecue stall.
When it came to the barbecue stall, Qingyue and Linzhi couldn't wait to run over, leaving Qingling and Linfeng walking beside her.
These two have the same personality and hobbies. One is from the Poison Sect and the other is from the Gu Sect. It's not bad for the two of them to get together. Then he looked at Qingling and Linfeng on his left and right sides, who were following him like guardians.
What are your plans next?
"The older twin is more reliable in both pairs of twins," Jiang Hua asked as they walked.
"I want to learn medicine from you," Qingling said first.
Ever since witnessing Jiang Hua's medical skills, she had already made up her mind that she would stay by Jiang Hua's side, whether Jiang Hua wanted to or not.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng glanced at Qing Ling, his expression changing slightly, before quickly resuming his nonchalant look at the road ahead.
"Linzhi and I will go back to our sect. We've been away for so long, it's time to go back and take a look."
"What about you? Are you going back? Maybe Qingyue wants to go back."
Jiang Hua had no objection to Qing Ling wanting to learn medicine from her. As long as she wanted to learn, she would teach her. Moreover, they had fought side by side and treated several injured people together, so she was indeed a good assistant.
"Wherever you want plenty of food, that's where she is," Qingling said calmly. Having spent over a decade with her twin sister, she naturally knew what she was thinking.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the barbecue stall, they saw Qingling and Linzhi happily eating skewers in one hand and plum juice in the other.
Qingling recounted what she had just discussed to her sister, and Qingyue simply let her make the arrangements, saying she would go wherever Qingling went.
"Oh, now that you're gone, all the delicious food Sister Jiang makes will be for me and my sister."
Upon hearing that Lin Zhi would be leaving soon, Qing Ling said with a hint of schadenfreude, while enjoying the skewers in her hands.
“It’s not like we’re not coming back.” Lin Zhi, not to be outdone, took a big bite.
The two started bickering over such a small matter. Jiang Hua was getting a headache from their argument, so she ignored them and turned to look at the ledger on the counter. Songzi took the opportunity to report on the barbecue shop's situation to Jiang Hua.
...
After leaving the barbecue stall, Jiang Hua headed towards the market. As she walked, a stall caught her attention; it was the first time she had ever seen anyone selling seafood in Qing Shi Town.
However, it was clear that sales were not good. The bucket full of squid was deterred by the fishy smell, and passersby covered their noses and quickly left.
"How much is this?" Jiang Hua squatted down, picked up a squid, and asked.
"Young lady, do you know how to eat this?"
The stall owner was a young man in his early twenties, who looked at her with some surprise and asked.
"Hmm, you're not from Qing Shi Town, are you?" Jiang Hua nodded, noticing that he didn't look like someone from Qing Shi Town, and asked casually.
"Young lady, you have a good eye. I'm from Yangcheng, which is by the sea. It took me a lot of effort to bring these fish from the sea here, hoping that business would improve, but I didn't expect it to be like this," the young man said, somewhat discouraged.
"Girl, if you want it, I'll sell it to you for ten coins a pound."
Jiang Hua looked at the two buckets full of squid and the bucket full of yellow croaker on the ground, estimated for a moment and said, "Twenty taels, I'll take all three buckets."
"Twenty taels!" The young man was so surprised that he couldn't speak. He thought he had misheard. It wasn't until Granny Jiang handed him the silver that he believed it was real. He looked at Jiang Hua with a puzzled expression.
