"Why are you speaking such obvious truths?" Huang Xiaosan poked Huang Lao Er's waist.
If this really is that person, then saying this is truly hurtful.
Seeing this, Jiang Nuan's lips twitched involuntarily.
The second brother's words were unpleasant, but the third brother's words were even more hurtful.
She glanced at the person who had come, and seeing that they didn't seem to care, she smiled and smoothed things over, "Mother of Ji Qin, thank you for coming all this way. Please come in and have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."
"No, no need. I'll leave after I apologize."
"No, you're already here, how can you not come in and rest for a bit?" Madam Xie said with a smile, pulling the person inside.
It's really unfair of them to make people feel so awkward, not even letting them have a sip of water.
So the people who had just come out of the hall went back into the hall.
By the light of the hall, everyone looked Shi Niu up and down and realized why they could only see two eyes.
It was black, really black, almost as black as the wick of a kerosene lamp.
His appearance wasn't that bad, he was just born into the wrong family.
The woman has a masculine appearance, is tall with thick joints, and has a very rough voice. It's hard for anyone not to mistake her for a man!
Jiang Nuan led the person to a chair and pushed over a cup of tea, saying, "Have a sip of water to warm yourself up, and then we can talk."
"I'm so sorry," Shi Niu said, unusually shy. "I'm here to apologize. I'm glad you didn't blame me for breaking the door. I've already discussed it with my family, and they'll send over two cypress logs tomorrow. They're sturdier and better than paulownia wood."
What Shi Niu didn't say was that these two pieces of wood were intended by her family to be part of her dowry.
"No need, no need," Jiang Nuan immediately refused. "This door can still be used after being patched up. We don't need to replace it with a new one. You don't need to send wood; we'll have to send it to you later anyway, which is too much trouble."
"No way, I'm the one who broke the door, so I definitely have to pay for it."
"No need, it's just that the door panel is too thin to withstand your strength." Jiang Nuan glanced at Shi Niu carefully and asked cautiously, "Could you tell me how strong you are?"
"I don't know, I haven't paid attention, it should be very big," Shi Niu said, not quite sure. "I can lift the stone mill at home that grinds beans with one hand."
Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent.
"Little Third," Huang Lao Er asked in a low voice, "can you lift the stone mill in the backyard?"
“What do you think?” Huang Xiaosan rolled his eyes at his second brother. “A stone mill weighing over two hundred jin is heavier than the two of us combined. How could we possibly lift it?”
Even if we tried to move it, we couldn't.
This is a big shot! Jiang Nuan looked at Shi Niu with a hint of awe.
She misunderstood her own family's situation; it wasn't that her side was incompetent, but rather that the enemy was too powerful.
“Ji Qin’s mother,” Jiang Nuan said, afraid of the sudden silence, she could only find a topic to talk about, “When will you and his father have your wedding? We can go and have a drink at the wedding.”
“March 28th, not far off,” Shi Niu said, her face full of emotion. “My Ji Qin is so grateful to you all. She didn’t get sick or suffer any disasters during the whole corvée labor. I was so grateful that I thought I would bring you a plate of hot tofu. But I accidentally broke the door. I was so confused that I just put the things down and left. When I got home, I felt that it was not kind of me, so I came back to apologize.”
Who knew that she would smash the door that had just been repaired, which was quite embarrassing.
She felt she had used much less force, but it was still broken; this door was too fragile.
If she had known this would happen, she should have just called for help from inside.
So this was what had happened. Jiang Nuan was speechless.
She imagined everything, but she couldn't imagine the truth.
