Chapter 242: I've long been in love with her
"You actually want to chase me away! Oh, I'm an old woman, and I'm still being bullied at my age.
If you don't like me, just tell me to leave. Why humiliate me like this?
Wuuwuwu..."
Old Mrs. Jiang sobbed and wiped her tears.
He looked as if he had suffered a great injustice.
When the second aunt saw her mother-in-law crying, she immediately defended her mother-in-law and blamed her own mother.
Grandma Wu was not good at speaking, and when she was accused by her own daughter, she suddenly felt angry and aggrieved. Her cloudy eyes were filled with tears and her lips were trembling.
"Fifth Grandma didn't humiliate you." Pei'er suddenly appeared at the gate of the courtyard, with several aunts standing behind her, all of whom were on good terms with Wen Yan.
Pei Er continued, "You are wrongly accusing my young lady of flirting with a man and a woman alone. My old lady does not welcome you, my old lady, for gossiping like you. Please leave. It is reasonable."
Could it be that if others are riding on our necks and shitting on us, we should just sit back and take it?"
"We are not wrong. It was originally a man and a woman who were alone in the same room!" said Mrs. Jiang.
Pei'er looked at her and sneered, then put her hands on her hips and shouted at the air: "Ying Zhihai!"
"Hey!" Ying Zhihai responded from the east wing.
After a while, he opened the small door and ran over.
There were still black spots of ink on his face.
Pei'er asked him, "What were you doing in the yard just now?"
Ying Zhihai raised his little face and answered seriously, "Mr. Qi is teaching me how to write."
The rumor was proven wrong.
Old Mrs. Jiang curled her lips indifferently.
Seeing her like that, Aunt Liu glared at her and followed Pei'er to the east wing.
The other aunts followed suit and glared at them one by one.
Old Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she was fuming.
In the east courtyard.
When the aunts saw Wen Yan, they were very enthusiastic: "As soon as we heard you were back, we shamelessly came here uninvited.
I hope I didn’t disturb you.”
The aunts didn't come empty-handed.
Some brought a few apricots, and some brought a few peaches.
There was also an aunt who filled a bowl with freshly peeled lotus seeds.
"What do you mean by disturbing me? I'm so happy that you're here!" Wen Yan smiled and asked them to sit down. "Pei'er, go get the snacks and fruits we bought and let the aunts have a taste."
Pei'er left with a smile on her face.
After a while, happy laughter came from the east wing.
Old Mrs. Jiang found it extremely irritating.
The aunts sat for a while, then took the local gifts that Wen Yan had given them and said goodbye and left.
Only Aunt Liu and Brother Dahu stayed.
Wen Yan asked Brother Dahu to find a few craftsmen to open a small door in the east and west courtyards.
"Why do you suddenly want to open the small door? Is it because of Ying Qing's family?" Aunt Liu glanced at the main courtyard and asked.
Wen Yan said, "That's only a small part of the reason. I've hired a new group of ink-making craftsmen, and the west wing will serve as their dormitory. I'll open a small passage and door for them to make it easier for them to come in and out."
When the house was first built, Wen Yan anticipated an increase in population, so when she built the west wing, she made it larger and had more rooms.
Now it comes in handy.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I can get this done tomorrow."
Wen Yan gave him the required silver, and asked Pei'er to pack some local gifts before sending him out.
"I need ten hardworking and smart women, aged between fifteen and forty. If there are women who are not doing well at home, they will be given priority."
When Wen Yan mentioned the matter of the face-cleansing lady, she smiled and said to Aunt Liu, "I'm going to open a club in the capital for women to have fun. Aunt Liu, if your daughter wants to work, she can go and learn with them."
Aunt Liu hesitated. "I'd like her to learn, but she's engaged now, so I have to ask her husband's family for their opinion."
Wen Yan nodded: "As long as she wants to come, she can come anytime."
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Okay, we will always remember your friendship."
The sun was setting. Aunt Liu sat for a while and then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Wen Yan also carried a gift box and went towards the village chief's house.
The village head and his wife were very happy to see her.
He gave her some snacks and poured her some fruit tea.
"During the time you were away, the old man was so worried that he couldn't sleep well at night, fearing that something might happen to you, his precious treasure, outside." The village head's wife joked with a smile.
Wen Yan told them some interesting things that happened outside, sat for a while, and then went home.
She walked slowly back along the village path.
Just as I reached the fork in the road, I suddenly saw a person walking out of the path at the foot of the opposite mountain.
Wen Yan looked carefully for a few seconds and it seemed to be Ying Zhilin who had returned from school.
Wen Yan stood there, waiting for him to go with her.
Ying Zhilin was walking while thinking about what happened after school.
Wu Yunzi stopped him, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Master, if you have something to say, just say it." Ying Zhilin rarely saw the usually straightforward master showing such a hesitant expression.
Wu Yunzi opened his mouth several times before he finally said, "Do you really understand your wife?"
"Master, what do you mean by this?"
"You can only know a person's face but not their heart. You should be more cautious with her. At least you should see clearly what kind of person she is, right?"
Wu Yunzi left after he finished speaking, but the question he left behind made Ying Zhilin think all the way.
What is Wen Yan like?
Why did he ask such a question?
Could it be that something happened to him?
Or heard some rumors about Wen Yan?
Before he knew it, he had returned to the village.
When I looked up, I saw a graceful woman standing at the intersection ahead.
It’s Wen Yan!
Ying knew what Lin Jijing was thinking and instantly became overjoyed.
He couldn't wait to run.
He wanted to see her, to be near her.
He had never been in such a good mood.
His heartbeat got faster and faster as he got closer to her.
She lost weight and got tanned.
However, his eyes are still as bright as ever.
Instinctively, he wanted to hold her in his arms.
But he restrained himself and stopped one meter away from her.
He panted slightly and stared at her without blinking: "You're back!"
"Yeah." Wen Yan looked at him and nodded, "Just arrived this afternoon."
Seeing a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, I handed him my handkerchief and said, "Wipe it off."
"Thank you." Ying Zhilin took her handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
What followed was the sweet fragrance coming from the water handkerchief.
It was as if... Wen Yan was wiping his sweat with her own hands.
Ying Zhilin took a deep breath when he realized that he had such obscene thoughts about her.
While he was spitting at himself in his heart, he silently chanted: Don't look at what is indecent, don't do what is indecent...
But……
They had been separated for a long time this time, and he couldn't help but miss her every day.
Counting the time she is away and looking forward to the day she comes back.
When he saw her at this moment, he was surprised to realize that he had already fallen in love with her.
