The next day, Lin Wan carried the peach shortbread she had bought the day before, and while eating it, she leisurely strolled to Xiaogaozhuang.
As I passed through the village, I ran into Aunt Hao, who was getting ready to go to work.
Actually, Aunt Hao should have started work a long time ago, but she kept delaying until now because she was waiting for Lin Wan. Although it was also to help Xing Zhaozhao, she still felt a little heartache thinking about the work point she missed.
"Aunt Hao." Lin Wan greeted Aunt Hao with a sweet smile as soon as she saw her.
"Why are you here?" Aunt Hao looked at Lin Wan with a surprised expression.
"I came to see my cousin Zhao Zhao." Lin Wan raised her hand and showed the bag of peach shortbread she was carrying. "I ran into my cousin Zhao Zhao in town yesterday and found out she was back. I was going to invite her to my house, but she was in a hurry to come back and couldn't go. So she asked me to come over and sit down, so I came."
Aunt Hao glanced at the bag in Lin Wan's hand, then at the crumbs of peach shortbread stuck to the corner of her mouth. Her lips twitched slightly, and she gave a dry laugh, saying, "Oh, I see. Then you should go quickly."
"Isn't Aunt Hao coming along?" Lin Wan asked.
Aunt Hao shook her head: "You go ahead, I'm in a hurry to get to work."
Lin Wan's eyes flashed, and she said, "That's right, earning work points is the most important thing right now."
“Who says otherwise?” Aunt Hao said, and after walking halfway with Lin Wan, they parted ways and went to the fields.
When they arrived at the field, someone noticed that Aunt Hao was late and asked curiously, "Aunt Hao, why are you so late today?"
"I ran into Zhao Zhao's cousin on the way. She said she was coming to see Zhao Zhao. We chatted for a bit, but I'm late," Aunt Hao said.
Hearing this, Aunt Gao's ears immediately perked up. Because of the failed attempt to catch her husband cheating last time, which caused an unnecessary misunderstanding, she still held a grudge.
"You mean that cousin who looks a lot like Mingcheng's wife?" Aunt Gao asked, looking at Aunt Hao.
“That’s right.” Aunt Hao nodded.
"I haven't seen them yet. I want to go and see how similar they really are," said Aunt Gao, picking up her hoe and preparing to leave.
Aunt Hao's heart skipped a beat. No, this is going to cause trouble! She quickly stopped her, saying, "Why are you in such a hurry? She just opened the shop and she won't be leaving right away. If you go now, you'll just be losing work points for nothing. Just go after lunch."
After thinking about it, Aunt Gao agreed and settled down for the time being.
Aunt Hao breathed a slight sigh of relief, continuing to hoe the ground while secretly glancing at Zhang Wenming working on another plot of land not far away. "Did you hear that? Shouldn't we make some moves?"
Sure enough, the next moment, Zhang Wenming suddenly clutched his stomach and cried out, "Ouch!"
"What's wrong, Zhang Zhiqing?" someone asked from the side.
"I think I ate something bad. I need to go to the outhouse right away," Zhang Wenming said, quickly putting down his hoe and running off in a hurry.
Aunt Hao shook her head helplessly and sighed softly. She hadn't expected Zhao Zhao to guess right. Although she and Zhao Zhao had made a plan yesterday, it was rather rough. If they didn't take the bait, there was nothing she could do. She hadn't expected them to fall for it so easily.
Aunt Hao felt that she must have been blind to have ever taken a liking to him and wanted him to be her son-in-law.
Now that Zhang Wenming has made a move, Aunt Hao naturally has to follow suit as well.
She quickly clutched her stomach and cried out, "Ouch!"
Unexpectedly, Aunt Gao, who had been watching her the whole time, immediately clutched her stomach as well when she saw her clutching it, and cried out "Ouch!"
The people around fell silent for a moment. What was going on today? One, two, three people started groaning.
Aunt Hao's forehead twitched, and she turned to glare at Aunt Gao: What are you 'ouch'ing about?
The senior aunt glared at her: "Whatever you say 'ouch,' I'll say 'ouch' too."
Aunt Hao: "..."
When Captain Gao saw that everyone in their area had stopped, he walked over and asked, "What are you all standing there for? Don't you need to work?"
Everyone around them stared at Aunt Hao and Aunt Gao, who were making the exact same pose.
Captain Gao looked over, frowned, and asked, "What are you doing? Trying to brood like a hen?"
Aunt Hao: "..."
Aunt Gao: "..."
"Captain Gao, my stomach hurts, I need to go to the outhouse," Aunt Hao said, and ran off first.
Seeing that things were going badly and she had been beaten to it, Aunt Gao quickly followed, saying, "Me too..."
Captain Gao: "..."
Captain Gao's face darkened: "We've only just started work, one or two at a time, where did all this excrement and urine come from?" After saying that, seeing that the others were still standing, he immediately shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Get to work!"
The people around them quickly got moving, watching Aunt Hao and Aunt Gao leave with a sense of envy. With Aunt Gao around, they felt there was going to be some interesting show, and they really wanted to go and see.
Aunt Gao followed closely behind Aunt Hao: "Hey, what are you doing?"
"You didn't know what I was up to, yet you followed me?" Aunt Hao said.
"I only contacted you because I wanted to know what you were up to..." Before Aunt Gao could finish speaking, Aunt Hao saw Zhang Wenming's figure not far ahead and quickly covered Aunt Gao's mouth.
Aunt Gao's eyes lit up when she saw Zhang Wenming, who had said he was going to the outhouse, heading up the mountain. She knew they were up to something!
