Chapter 230: Eating melon seeds and watching a show



The old man just listened carefully to Ji Xun talking about the Shen family with a faint smile on his face, without interrupting him.

After Ji Xun finished speaking, he stroked his long beard, which looked quite immortal, and nodded with a smile, saying, "It should be so."

With a lot of help, it didn't take long to clean up the outside and move the tables and chairs back home.

The Shen family came out from the yard to see the guests off, and each family's attitude was very friendly.

In the end, everyone left, and there were still a few women or young men who stayed behind to help the Shen family.

Zhu Lizheng's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wu, saw that her son stayed to help. When he entered the yard, she rolled her eyes and said she also wanted to stay to help.

Zhu Lizheng looked at the other people in the family who were eager to try and wanted to stay, and whispered, "Only Lao Er's family and Yushan can stay here. What will it look like if you all stay here?"

Although I know that they came here because they noticed something was wrong between Yushan and that little girl, the situation hasn't even started yet. If they all stay, what if they scare people again?

Everyone was extremely anxious, but since Zhu Lizheng had spoken, they could only carry their tables and benches and go home.

Not only outside the yard, but even inside the Shen family yard is a mess.

After Zhu Yushan entered the yard, he saw Song Xiaoni sweeping the floor. Other people in the yard were washing dishes and cooking.

After all, the people who serve dishes, cook and help out have not had their meals yet.

Zhu Yushan took another broom to help. He worked quickly and cleaned the yard in no time, leaving no residue on the ground.

After Wu came in, she sat down among the women who were washing dishes and started washing the dishes.

While washing the dishes, she would occasionally look up in the direction of Zhu Yushan and Song Xiaoni. Seeing Zhu Yushan sweeping the floor on the other side like an idiot, she was so worried that she wished she could do it herself.

This idiot, he came in to help but didn’t even bother letting the girl rest.

He swept the floor like this all his life, and no one knew it was him who did it.

Mrs. Wu wiped the dishes with a rag, wiping harder and harder.

Sharing the same mood as her were Chen Yuan and Hua Ling, who had just entered the back yard.

The two of them originally planned to come in to see if there was anything they could help with, but when they came in, they saw a big man sweeping the floor while looking at Song Xiaoni.

Zhu Yushan's eyes were very clear, and Shen Yu'an also knew him, otherwise he would have thrown him out if he saw him staring at Song Xiaoni like a thief.

Fortunately, there were many people helping in the yard, so it didn't matter if Shen Yu'an and Hua Ling did nothing.

The two of them entered the dining room, which was empty now, and then each of them brought a small stool and sat at the door to watch the show.

"Give."

Shen Yu'an handed Hua Ling a handful of melon seeds, and the two of them watched the show while eating them.

Song Xiaoni swept the floor and found that the rest of the floor was clean. She looked up in confusion and found Zhu Yushan holding a broom and grinning at her.

Song Xiaoni felt embarrassed and annoyed. She glared at him shyly, then picked up the rag to wipe the things.

"Girl Xiaoni, take a rest. I'll help you."

Next, Zhu Yushan did whatever he saw Song Xiaoni doing.

Song Xiaoni was so embarrassed and angry, but Zhu Yushan saw that she was working all the time and was afraid that she would be tired, so he wanted to help her with everything.

Hua Ling turned to look at Chen Yu'an and said, "Sister An'an, he likes Sister Xiaoni. I'll go tell Sister Xiaoni."

“Hey hey hey!”

Chen Yu'an quickly stopped the person and told her not to make trouble. Didn't he see that Song Xiaoni was almost ashamed? If Hua Ling said something about it again, Song Xiaoni would definitely explode.

Hua Ling was not as strong as Shen Yu'an, and she couldn't move even a step after being dragged by her. She asked, "Sister An'an, why are you pulling me?"

Chen Yu'an pulled her to sit back on the stool and explained to her earnestly, "Ling'er, let them talk about this kind of thing themselves. What if you tell Sister Xiaoni and she gets shy and doesn't want to see Zhu Yushan?"

Hua Ling tilted her head and said, "If Sister Xiaoni doesn't want to see him, then it must be that Sister Xiaoni doesn't like him, so it's better not to see him."

Shen Yu’an: “…” It seems to make some sense.

Bah, bah, bah. Although it makes sense, it doesn't apply to most situations nowadays where marriages are arranged by parents and matchmakers. Besides, Song Xiaoni doesn't look like she has no interest in Zhu Yushan at all. It's just that the window paper has not been broken yet.

On the other side, Wu, who was washing dishes by the wall, nudged the person next to her with her elbow and said, "Hey, sister, do you know where that girl is from?"

The woman Wu asked smiled and said, "Oh, you asked the wrong person. If you want to know about that girl, ask the one on your left. She will definitely know more clearly."

Sitting on Wu's left was Song Xiaoni's biological mother, Gao.

Mrs. Wu didn't work in the papermaking workshop, so naturally she didn't know her. The Shen family was so busy today that she thought she was a helper hired by her family.

As soon as she asked, Mrs. Wu turned to Mrs. Gao and asked, "Sister, do you know the girl in the courtyard?"

When Wu asked, she pointed in Song Xiaoni's direction, so it would be hard to recognize the wrong person.

Gao had just seen Wu looking up at her daughter from time to time, but she had been refraining from asking. Now she asked herself.

Gao suppressed her smile and said, "That one, that's my daughter Xiaoni. Is the one in the yard your child?"

“Ah? Yes…”

Wu was so surprised that the bowl in her hand fell to the ground. It was a bit embarrassing to find out that someone's own mother was here after asking around.

"Haha, I think that girl and my son are a perfect match... Oh, bah, bah, bah, no, that girl is really pretty, so I want to find out who she is from."

Wu's expression of trying to cover up her guilt made the women around her who heard her words burst into laughter.

Gao didn't blame him either. They were all busy in the same yard, and everyone saw Zhu Yushan chasing after Song Xiaoni to help her with work.

Gao thought about it again and figured out two reasons why Wu asked her that question.

Song Xiaoni is old enough to get married, but they have just arrived here and are unfamiliar with the place, so they don't dare to introduce her to anyone.

But the Shen family must know much more about the people of Longxian Village.

After thinking all this through, Gao decided to talk to Wu first to see what kind of character her child had, and then ask the Shen family after everyone left.

Gao smoothed her sleeves that were falling down, leaned close to Wu and whispered to her.

Before speaking, he glanced in the direction of Song Xiaoni and Zhu Yushan.

Hmm~ I'm satisfied. He looks like someone who can take care of people.

When Mrs. Wu heard that Mrs. Gao was talking to her, she was overjoyed.

The two of them got along better and better as they talked, like old sisters who had been separated for many years.

Shen Yu'an had strong mental strength and could naturally hear what they were saying. In the end, he didn't even finish his meal and was so full of melons.

Even though the two spoke in low voices, the woman next to them heard a few words. In the end, when this topic came up, everyone in the circle became matchmakers and kept praising Zhu Yushan.
