Chapter 45: That's all. Aunt Ma really likes to gossip...
Zhou Ye was silent. He hadn't figured out how to respond to Lin Shu.
However, while he was struggling with this for a long time, Lin Shu seemed to have forgotten about it and did not ask for his answer.
This made Zhou Ye breathe a sigh of relief.
Lin Xiaopu on the other end had already pouted guiltily. "I don't think of my sister as a monster. It's just that she's very serious when she's teaching, and I'm a little scared."
"I'm not going to hit you on the palm of your hand, so what are you afraid of?" Lin Shu let her go and walked towards Zhou Ye. She looked at the bundle of bamboo on the ground and stared at him with wide eyes in shock. "So many?"
This bundle of bamboo must have at least ten pieces, right? They're all thick and tall. If each piece weighs 70 kilograms, this bundle must weigh 700 kilograms!
But then I thought, Zhou Ye is a man of great strength, only 700 kilograms, that's all...
Lin Shu still couldn't remain calm. No matter how strong she was in her previous life, she was never this strong. At most, she could carry something weighing four or five hundred kilograms. How could it be so exaggerated!
I guess it's because Zhou Ye is very strong, so with this huge force added to him he becomes so powerful?
Moreover, in just a short time, Zhou Ye not only cut down a dozen thick and long bamboos, but also processed these bamboos simply, removing most of the small branches and leaves on them.
Seeing her looking at the bamboo, Zhou Ye explained, "These probably aren't enough. Once we run out, I'll come to the back mountain and cut another bundle."
Lin Shu hurriedly said, "Brother Aye, that's enough. We can't even fit all the bamboo in our yard."
Zhou Ye nodded and asked, "Have you and Xiao Pu had enough rest?"
After hearing this, Lin Shu finally lifted her buttocks that seemed to be stuck to the stone and shouted with full energy, "Let's go home!"
Zhou Ye carried a basket of mushrooms in front of him, and picked up the bundled bamboo. He carried the front end on his right shoulder, leaving only the tail on the ground. He supported it with his right arm, and seemed to be holding it steady.
Then, he extended his completely free left arm towards Lin Shu, "Hold on."
"We are family, so I won't be polite to you." Lin Shu giggled twice, holding Xiao Pu with one hand and holding his arm with the other.
Zhou Ye paused, opened his mouth, but finally closed it.
He originally wanted him to hold her arm, but she actually took it directly...
"What's wrong?"
Lin Shu looked up at Zhou Ye and asked.
Zhou Ye hurriedly shook his head and whispered, "Hold it steady."
Lin Shu smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Ye."
It was the first time that the two of them were so close, and the smile in Lin Shu's eyes and eyebrows seemed to flow onto Zhou Ye.
Zhou Ye's heart trembled suddenly. He looked away without looking at her, staring straight ahead at the road down the mountain.
Thinking that Zhou Ye was already carrying more than 700 kilograms of things, Lin Shu did not put her body weight on him.
Zhou Ye noticed that she was only leaning against him weakly. He continued to look at the mountain road, but said to her, "It's okay. You can come over here. I can easily carry a few hundred kilograms of things."
Lin Shu immediately pinched his arm and asked, "How can I be compared with something weighing hundreds of kilograms?"
Zhou Ye was silent.
He didn't feel anything where he was pinched, it was just like someone was tickling him.
Although he felt that he was not a good speaker, he did not think there was anything wrong with what he had just said, so he did not understand why Lin Shu wanted to pinch him for no reason.
Lin Xiaopu chuckled at the side, "Brother Aye, you're talking as if even if my sister is a fat girl weighing hundreds of pounds, you can't drag her. It's strange that my sister would be happy."
Zhou Ye:......
He really didn't understand the girl's thoughts. How were the two things connected?
Forget it, he should say less, so as not to offend others with his words.
But Lin Shu was angry and she vented it right there and then. After she finished venting her anger, she leaned towards him with a smile, "What are you thinking about? Are you thinking that you are really not good at talking and made me angry, so you should be more quiet in the future?"
"Oh, judging by your reaction, I guessed it right!"
Zhou Ye didn't know whether to open his mouth or not, so he just hummed in silence.
"Didn't I tell you, even if I'm really angry, it won't last more than a quarter of an hour? Besides, I wasn't really angry just now, I was just a little annoyed. How could you be so stupid that you can't even tell if I'm really angry or just pretending to be angry? You've grown up in vain."
Zhou Ye's mouth twitched. Lin Shu thought he understood, but he just slowly squeezed out a sentence, "Sister Shu is right."
Lin Shu was speechless and didn't tease the serious fool anymore. She just listened to him and put more weight on him while holding Xiao Pu firmly with her left hand. "Brother Ye, please be steady. Right now, the three of us are like grasshoppers on a rope. If you lose your balance and fall, we will all fall with you."
Zhou Ye's arm suddenly felt soft, and the tip of his nose was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and plants from the woman. His body stiffened for a moment, especially the arm that Lin Shu was holding and leaning on. He felt as if he was paralyzed and unable to move.
He tried hard to ignore the touch that shouldn't have been noticed by him, holding the arm motionless like a wooden man, and hummed with difficulty, "Then hold it steady. If you hold it steady, you won't fall."
Lin Xiaopu, standing by, grinned with delight. She felt that whenever her sister was around, Brother Aye was more lively than before. Whether it was Brother Aye's expression of being unable to express himself, or his depressed look, or his hesitation to speak, it was all something she had never seen before, very vivid.
Zhou Ye was indeed very steady along the way. He held the huge bundle of bamboo firmly on his right shoulder. Even when he was walking downhill, the things on his body did not shake at all.
Lin Shu held him and felt safe.
Most of the villagers who went into the mountains to pick mushrooms had already left, but there were still some families whose people were cooking and not in a hurry to go home. They were just walking down the mountain at this time, and then they met three people on the way. They were all shocked by Zhou Ye's posture.
Wow, such a big bundle of bamboo, it must be several hundred pounds, right? They knew that the boy from Lin Dashan's family was strong, but they didn't expect it to be even stronger than they imagined!
With this kind of strength, you can do anything!
"Aye boy, you didn't go to the fields today? What are you doing cutting so many bamboos? Do you need more bamboo mats for the house?"
Lin Shu motioned Zhou Ye to stay silent and explained to the woman, "Auntie, my mother took pity on me because I'm delicate and afraid of the heat, so she asked Brother Ye to chop some bamboo and bring it back so that I can have a bamboo bed."
The aunt who asked the question sighed. Although there were many bamboos in Tianshui Village, not many families made bamboo beds. Not only were bamboo beds not as strong as wooden beds, they could only be used when the weather was hot. When the weather got cold, the bamboo beds had to be put away, which took up a lot of space.
If you are afraid of the heat, just ask Grandpa Gao to weave a bamboo mat and make a bamboo bed for you. He is worthy of being from the Marquis' Mansion. The second family of Lin is really pampered.
The village woman grumbled a few words in her heart, but smiled. "Okay, then, be careful with your steps. I'll be leaving first."
As soon as the village woman left, Lin Xiaopu immediately looked at Lin Shu, looking as if the sky had fallen. "Sister, that was Aunt Ma, a famous gossip girl in our village. In less than three days, what you just said to her will be known to everyone!"
