Chapter 357 Love in Middle Age



Li Laoshi must have a way if he wants to make money.

Villagers can earn money by working in pharmacies and workshops, and Li Laoshi can do the same.

Moreover, they can do other things themselves.

Li Laoshi naturally thought of this as well, and blinked: "Sister Jiang, can you help me make a lot of money?"

Jiang Zhi didn't answer directly, but instead said, "Tell me first, are you really interested in Qin Ling? What do you see in her?"

I asked him during the Spring Festival, and he firmly swore that he had no such thoughts, but now he's suddenly feeling romantic.

However, this was a good thing. Jiang Zhi didn't even bother to tease him; she just wanted to find out if he had this idea.

Li Laoshi is a smart man. As long as there is a future, he will put a bridle on a wild horse and entrust it with important responsibilities.

Upon hearing that he was asked to say whether he had feelings for Sister Qin, Li Laoshi immediately looked down at his toes, his legs trembling and his waist shaking as he said in a shy and hesitant manner, "Oh dear, how should I put it?"

I didn't mean it that way, I just... wanted to talk to her a little more, to look at her a little more. Oh my god! I can't say it!

Seeing a middle-aged man acting coy and bashful, Jiang Zhi felt her hair stand on end. She immediately rubbed her arms and said, "Ugh, you'd better shut up, I feel like throwing up!"

It seems these two are in the ambiguous stage of middle-aged people who haven't yet fallen in love.

Jiang Zhi's words ripped away his sourness, and Li Laoshi was no longer shy. He spoke up, saying, "Sister-in-law Qin is already a mother of children and grandchildren. If I were to say it, it would definitely not work. Her tall and strong son would probably beat me to death."

Besides, if word gets out, people will laugh too.

"I'd rather tear off all pretenses than leave her. Sister Qin is a perfectly good person. If she stays with me, not only will she be cursed, but Genqing will also lose face."

Li Laoshi's voice grew softer and softer until he finally mumbled, "Sister-in-law Qin had a hard life before. Her husband never treated her like a wife... Sigh, you should treat a woman well after marrying her."

"But I can't do it, and if I can't, I shouldn't have provoked them!"

As Li Laoshi spoke, he began to sigh, feeling that his love life had been full of hardships.

He ran away with a young, beautiful wife, and now he dares not confide in Sister Qin.

Jiang Zhi twitched the corner of her mouth. Sigh, it's really hard for others to help with this.

Moreover, Lianhua is now eight months pregnant, and Qin Shi is focusing all her attention on the family.

At this moment, any slight movement would affect Lotus, and any unexpected event would immediately enrage Qin.

Middle-aged people can't compare to young people like Tao'er and Xiaoman. Young people's love is like spring blossoms, and they can say it directly.

Love in middle age is a bloodbath, surrounded by ice and snow; to express it, one must first don armor.

Of course, this isn't absolute.

There's a solution to everything. As long as people are united, there are always more solutions than problems... But that just takes time!

Since things had come to this point, Jiang Zhi said, "Don't overthink it. We don't even know if Qin Ling is interested! Just focus on making money; you'll need it someday."

Li Laoshi smiled, feigning strength: "Sister Jiang, you'd better not meddle in my business, and worry about your wild boar!"

Yesterday, when I went up the mountain to carry mosquito repellent liquid down, I was stopped by Peiqi again, which almost scared the old mule so much that it fell down the mountain.

That guy has a terrible temper now, nobody dares to discipline him. You'll have to teach him a lesson when you get back.

Jiang Zhi thought about it and realized that she hadn't been back to the village for more than ten days since Li Laoshi was injured.

The wild boar is now an adult, and it's possible that it has a bad temper; humans simply can't control it.

If Peppa really can't be controlled, we'll have to find a way to lead her back to the old forest.

Then I'll go back tonight. Since there are still three or four days left to sell tender corn, I might as well pick a few ears to take back for everyone to try, and let Grandpa Xiaoman and the others know about Xiaoman's situation.

"Honestly, the mosquito coil workshop is now under Wang Xiaoju's management. Go to town to buy some snacks, and then pick out some good corn from the fields. I'm going back to the mountain tonight!" Jiang Zhi said.

Xu Yuxian and the Du family have gone into hiding, and there has been no news of those thugs in the village these days.

After selling the tender corn, I need to go to the city to deliver ordinary mosquito coils and high-quality mosquito coils, as well as mosquito repellent liquid. I also need to ask Magistrate Zhang how this matter was handled.

Li Laoshi also awkwardly brought up his love life, but when he heard that he was to go to town to buy things, he immediately agreed.

In the afternoon, Li Laoshi finished buying the snacks he needed and also picked a basket of tender corn.

Jiang Zhi waited until Er Rui returned from the pharmacy, and the two of them led the old mule up the mountain together.

It was June, and the weather was already hot, but it was still quite cool in the mountains and forests.

Errui led the mule with one hand and held a windmill frame made of colored paper in the other.

A bamboo frame with a row of windmills of different sizes and colors fixed on it. When the mountain wind blows, the large windmills and the small ones all spin around.

I bought this in town.

It's Caixia's second birthday. Even though it's not a birthday celebration for children, we still need to give her a gift to make her happy.

Not only does Caixia have toys, but Nini also has a silk flower, which Xiaoman bought for her niece.

Halfway there, Jiang Zhi kept looking around: "Li Laoshi, to be honest, Peiqi's temper is bad these days. Have you noticed anything wrong?"

Errui came back a few times and saw Peiqi. He thought for a moment and said, "It's the same as before. He was fighting outside and got covered in blood. I was too busy to pay attention to it. It will be fine in a couple of days."

Peppa Pig has a strange temper; she's been sneaking into the pigpen every day to steal food, scaring the sows terrified. Even Sister Chunfeng can't get her out.

Jiang Zhi laughed: "Don't be fooled by its current act of stealing food. In two more days, before the sow even gives birth, Peppa will be so afraid to go in again."

A sow protecting her piglets will not recognize any male pigs; all male pigs are enemies until the sow comes into heat again.

The two were so eager to get home that they didn't encounter any wild boars even as they were almost in sight of the house.

Now that Jiang Zhi's return home is unpredictable, the wild boars, unable to wait any longer, have gradually gotten used to not waiting anymore.

The first to react to the sound of voices was Little Bear, who was playing by the yard. She ran and called out as she went.

The dog looked rather pathetic, with its neck tangled in leaves and grass, and it kept stepping on the ropes as it ran, making it unsure of where to put its four paws, and it stumbled and fell all the way.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Zhi asked in surprise.

The dog couldn't speak, it just kept rolling over and thrashing about.

Hearing the dog bark, Nini and Caixia, who were engrossed in pretending to "cut vegetables" with a bamboo knife, immediately came over with smiles: "Grandma!"

After exchanging a few sweet words, the two children grabbed the windmill and went to play nearby.

Jiang Zhi looked at Peiqi's empty wooden house and asked Qiaoyun curiously, "Peiqi isn't coming home anymore?"

Qiaoyun looked around and said, "We should come back to eat!" Peppa Pig would come home for dinner every evening.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw a dark brown figure swaying back from the bottom of the hillside.

Jiang Zhi shouted, "Pork belly!"

The wild boar froze instantly, then let out an unprecedentedly loud howl, a long and shrill sound like a whistle, and charged forward on its four short legs, skimming the ground.
