Shuwen, Wenfeng, and Shuduo came back soon. Shuduo went back to the next door. As soon as Shuwen and Shufeng entered the yard, they put the basket of pig grass on the ground and gathered around Chunxiao. "Auntie, we want to hear a bedtime story too. You are biased and only tell it to Duoer and Paner, but not to us."
Yan Qi came over when he heard it and said, "What bedtime story? I want to hear it too."
It turned out that when they were picking pig grass just now, Shuduo told them the story of Thumbelina that Chunxiao had told them last night, and said that her aunt asked them to be obedient and tell it to her and Pan'er tonight. It was the first time they heard such an interesting story, and they immediately became unhappy. When they came back, they surrounded Chunxiao and asked to hear the story.
"Why are you surrounding your aunt? What's the bedtime story? Go chop the pig grass." Tian didn't understand and thought the children were just fooling around.
"Mom, it's a good story, very interesting." Shufeng was unhappy, "Aunt, please tell us too!"
"It's called a bedtime story, meant to be listened to before going to sleep. I don't sleep with you, so how can I tell you one?"
"Then I'm going to sleep with Duo'er and the others tonight. I want to listen to stories."
"Then tell Duo'er and the others, if they agree, Auntie has no objection, and I will tell you another Snow White story tonight."
Shufeng saw Zhang nearby and hurried over, "Second Aunt, can I sleep with Duo'er and the others tonight?"
Zhang smiled and said, "Duo'er and the others' bed is so small, how can it accommodate four people?"
Shu Feng refused, "If there is room, we can squeeze together and we will definitely be able to sleep."
Zhang saw her eagerness and said, "If you can sleep, go ahead and sleep." She looked at Chunxiao again and said, "What kind of bedtime story is this? It's so fascinating. I'm curious."
Shuwen and Xiaoqi became anxious when they heard this, "What about us? We can't sleep with you girls, and we want to listen to stories too."
"Yes, Xiaoqi wants to hear a story too!"
Chunxiao spread her hands and said, "What can I do? I'm also a girl, there's nothing I can do."
"Stupid." Shufeng patted Shuwen's arm. "I listened to a story tonight and will tell you when I get back. I'm sure I can tell it better and in more detail than Duoer."
Shuwen pulled a face and said, "Alright," that was all he could do. "You have to listen carefully and take notes. Don't miss anything when I talk to you tomorrow."
"What are you all talking about? You've got me confused. Listen to your mother and chop the pig grass. We have things to do this afternoon." Zhou looked at Dahe and Zhang. "Stay here for a while. When your father comes back, he'll tell us what the afternoon schedule is. He won't have to come back to call you. Come, sit in the yard for a while."
As soon as they sat down, Shuduo and Pan'er came over and called out "Mom." Seeing Shuwen and the others chopping pig grass, they asked, "Mom, why don't you go back?"
"You go back to the yard first. Mom and Dad are waiting for your grandpa for something. They will be back later."
Seeing this, Shuduo went back to chop grass for the pigs.
"Mom, are you really going to let my little sister live alone at the end of the village?" Zhang had always been a little timid in this family because she had given birth to two daughters in succession, and seldom took the initiative to talk. Now that she saw that the land had been bought, she finally couldn't help but ask.
"Chunxiao is a stubborn person now. If she wants to live alone, then she can. As long as she's not afraid, I have no objection. We really don't have room in our house."
"That place is so remote and close to the mountains. It's quite scary just thinking about it."
"Second sister-in-law, it's okay. It's far away and quiet." Chun Xiao smiled at her, "From now on, I will live alone on two acres of land and be a landlord at the foot of the mountain."
"You think you can be a landlord with just two acres of land? You're really good at making excuses." Dahe laughed at her. "I haven't been there for a long time. I wonder how panicked they are now."
"Mother, do you think my younger sister is much more cheerful and courageous now that she comes back?" Tian also laughed. Any divorced woman would be sad for a while after coming back, but Chunxiao has not mentioned the Zhou family since she came back yesterday, and she doesn't seem depressed.
"You've hit the nail on the head." Yan Dashan added, "I was impressed by her yesterday at the Zhou family. Her personality is much more interesting now than before. I didn't want to talk about it before."
"She's suffered such a terrible crime. If she doesn't change her temper, she'd be foolish." Zhou sighed. "So, it's not a good thing for a girl to be too soft. She needs to be aggressive when she needs to be."
"Mom, you can't deny your previous thoughts just because of this incident. Second sister-in-law has a soft personality, but you still like her very much."
"I'm your mother-in-law, how can I be the same?" Zhou gave her an unpleasant look. "Mother just thinks that you're also wrong for acting like this today. Forget it, let's not talk about these things anymore. If I talk too much, I won't be able to sleep well at night. I'm going to open up wasteland this afternoon. Dashan, go check on the tools at home and see if they need to be sharpened on the rocks."
"Mom, I just sharpened my machete and hoe two days ago. They're still sharp."
"Auntie Zhou, Auntie Zhou!" A child in the distance ran towards the yard.
"Sanqing? Why are you here? What do you want to see me about?" Zhou walked to the entrance of the yard and looked at the panting Yan Sanqing. "This kid, why are you running so fast?"
"Master Fa asked you to send him 200 coins, so please hurry up."
"Where is he? Where should I send the money?" I have already taken two taels of silver, so how can I still be short of money? Could it be that the head of the village is raising the price? That's impossible!
"It's at the village head's door. Please go quickly. I still need to go to the river."
"Okay, okay, I got it. Thank you very much, Sanqing." Zhou turned around and went back to the house to get two coins of silver and prepared to go out.
