After returning to the house, Mao let go of Xiangye's wrist.
"Alright! Tell the truth!"
Xiang Ye still didn't dare to look up, and replied weakly:
"I, I have nothing to say. I didn't do anything."
"Who said what you did? Tell me what happened with Qiangzi? Are you two engaged?"
"Ah? No, no, sister, please don't misunderstand, it's absolutely not true." Xiangye was so scared that she waved her hands repeatedly.
Mao couldn't bear to tease her anymore and said with a smile:
"Why are you so excited? I'm just asking if there's anything wrong."
Xiang Ye tugged at the corner of her clothes, looking helpless and shy.
"I don't know what's wrong with Fang Qiang. He used to be scared of me. But now he's just staring at me and grinning like an idiot. Last time when he gave me bones, he insisted on giving me a silver fork, and I only managed to get away with it by talking myself into revealing my true self. I didn't expect him to do this again today. I'm not a child, I don't need any new clothes..."
As she spoke, her voice grew weaker and weaker, but it was filled with the complaints of a girl.
"So, are you interested in him?"
"How could that be! Sister, I, I haven't spoken to him much." Xiang Ye waved her hands again and again.
Maybe it's because the person in charge is confused! Mao thinks Xiangye should not dislike Qiangzi.
Xiangye followed him here, and although he treated her as a relative, he still felt guilty. She was already 19 years old, which made her an old girl.
It would be best if I could find someone here who shares the same thoughts as me.
Mao smiled and touched Xiangye's hair:
"Qiangzi seems good to me, a good and down-to-earth kid. Although he doesn't have parents to help him, he doesn't have so many problems on the other hand. If you don't mind, try to get in touch with him!"
"Well, sister, I won't get married. When I came here with you, I said that I would follow you for the rest of my life."
"Are you stupid? I didn't say you have to stay away from me after you get married. To put it bluntly, if you really marry Qiangzi, you don't know who will marry whom! He doesn't have a family, so your family will be his family in the future. I might even have an extra person to support the family."
Xiangye lowered her head and said nothing. But she did listen. She also felt that the proposal was acceptable. In the future, having an adult man at home in the village would make a difference. At least she wouldn't be so easily bullied.
No one knew about the conversation in the room. As Wen Xi had almost no experience in love, she was as slow as could be.
Early that morning, Wen Xi dragged Mao to the county. Besides visiting her master, she went to pick up a barbecue grill she had ordered a few days ago. Then, she went to buy a white-striped sheep.
Arriving at the embroidery shop, Mao parked the cart at the door:
"You go in and see your master! Mom won't go in. It would be bad if the cart was lost here."
"Okay, Mom, I'll go in and say hello and then come out."
The store has changed a lot, and many people are crowded around the counter discussing something.
Of course, it’s not surprising that there are so many people, but the store has become so big.
And the person at the counter was not the master, but a woman who looked to be in her early thirties.
The woman saw Wen Xi through the gap in the counter and asked:
"Little girl, do you want to buy embroidery?"
"Ah? I..."
Wen Xi suddenly felt overwhelmed. Wasn't it just half a month? What was this master up to?
"Xi'er? Why are you standing at the door and not going in? Your mother is really something. She didn't come in even when she was at the door. I asked her to push the cart to the backyard, but she refused."
Ye Erniang just happened to come in from outside and saw her apprentice standing there like a fool.
Wen Xi looked back and saw that it was his master. He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, it seemed that he had not taken the wrong path.
"Master, this shop has changed so much! I almost thought I was in the wrong place!"
"Didn't I tell you I wanted to expand? Just buy the property next door. Break through the wall, and it'll be bigger. Now the backyard is spacious enough for all of you to come and live here. By the way, this is White Lady, the embroidery seller I hired. I'm really tired of that myself."
The name of White Snake instantly reminded Wen Xi of Xu Xian.
"Lady Bai, this is my apprentice, Gu Wenxi. He went home a while ago, so you didn't see him."
White Snake quickly bowed:
"I'm sorry for being so rude, Miss Gu. I didn't recognize you just now."
Wen Xi quickly waved her hands:
"It's okay, it's okay, haha, you're welcome, Lady Bai. Just call me Wen Xi from now on."
Ye Erniang also smiled and said:
"It's okay. My apprentice is very easy to get along with. You'll understand after spending more time with him. There are so many people around, just focus on your own things! Don't worry about us."
He turned his head and asked his apprentice:
"Let's go check out the backyard?"
Wen Xi shook her head.
"My mother is waiting! I also need to go buy some mutton and set up my stall tomorrow. By the way, Master, I've researched some new food. You're sure to like it."
Ye Erniang said readily:
"Okay, then go buy some. If you have any items, just put them in our backyard so you don't have to carry them back and forth. If you want to sell food, you don't have to go far. It's right in the alley in front of our embroidery shop, directly across from the main street. It's very convenient."
"Well, okay, Master, I'll be leaving first. I'll leave an iron stove here for you later. We'll process the meat back in the village."
