At the end of June, Madam Li came to pick up goods and brought Empress Dowager Jiang back with her.
This time, Li Muyan also came along.
His injuries have almost healed. This time, the healing was particularly fast, which made Madam Li wonder if her unlucky son was about to have a change of fortune. How could he have recovered so quickly from such a serious injury?
Empress Dowager Jiang witnessed Li Muyan's misfortune on the way.
A snake somehow crawled into the carriage. It didn't bite anyone, but it bit Li Muyan.
It's a non-venomous snake; applying some ointment will make it much better.
Li Muyan was in a good mood: "We've seen blood today, so things will definitely go smoothly from now on."
Xue Qianyu looked at Li Muyan speechlessly. He had never seen anyone like this, so happy to bleed.
Seeing Xue Qianyu's indescribable expression, Li Muyan began to tell Xue Qianyu about the unfortunate things that had happened to him over the years.
Xue Qianyu frowned more and more. Wasn't Gu Nian supposed to dislike talkative people? How come she's doing business with this chatterbox?
After finally arriving at Sanchakou Village, Xue Qianyu got off the bus at the village entrance. He really couldn't stand sitting with Li Muyan. Seriously, there was too much nonsense. He had already shown obvious impatience, but the other man acted as if he didn't see it.
More annoying than Lu Er.
"Second Brother! You're back!" Huo Junhao was quite happy to see Xue Qianyu. His return meant there would be one more person to tend the fire from now on.
"Where is Zhou Yuan?" Xue Qianyu asked.
“I’m in the fields with Uncle Gu! Come on, let’s go cook! When he comes back, we can eat right away!” Huo Junhao pulled Xue Qianyu to the kitchen.
Xue Qianyu: ...
One is the heir of a Duke of Zhenguo, and the other is the grandson of a Grand Tutor. They really act like two country bumpkins.
But these two are actually enjoying it!
Xue Qianyu was speechless, but he still went along.
Once inside the kitchen, Huo Junhao gossiped with Xue Qianyu: Ever since the Xu family's incident, the village head's wife had been spreading rumors about Gu Nian throughout the village. Gu Xin and Gu Si were quite ruthless; they would punish anyone who spoke ill of Gu Nian, and in just a few days, the gossipy women in the village dared not speak anymore, probably only talking about it with their husbands at home at night.
Huo Junhao sighed, "No wonder the Gu family doesn't get along with the villagers! From Grandma Gu to the youngest Gu Si, their level of violence is so high, who would dare to be friends with them? But I really like them!"
Xue Qianyu glanced at Huo Junhao speechlessly: "Do you prefer violence, or do you prefer Gu Si?"
Huo Junhao waved his hand: "Second brother, how can you think like that? Sisi is still young! I treat her like my little sister."
Xue Qianyu didn't dwell on the question and asked, "What do you mean by 'taking care of'?"
Huo Junhao said, "They say she's a jinx; whoever gets involved with her is doomed! First, there was the county magistrate's family, and now there's the Xu family. It's all because their sons fell for Sister Niannian, and then they suffered bad luck. You know, the village head's second son also likes Sister Niannian! The village head's wife and daughter are almost driven mad with anger. Second brother, what do you think is so appealing about Sister Niannian?"
Xue Qianyu glanced at Huo Junhao but didn't say anything.
What makes her so likable? She seems likable everywhere! She's beautiful, generous, cheerful, capable, positive, and optimistic; being around her makes me feel good.
Huo Junhao ignored Xue Qianyu's lack of response and continued to gossip about the village.
Xue Qianyu stared at the fire in the stove, his eyes reflecting the leaping flames, sweat beading on his forehead, completely unaware of his surroundings.
Gu Nian was chatting with Li Muyan about things at the shop when she suddenly sneezed. She sniffed and asked, "Who's cursing me?"
Li Muyan laughed: "You should be more careful. You might have caught a cold from eating too many cold drinks! Should we see a doctor?"
Gu Xin ran over: "Yes, sister, I'll go to Brother Yuanyuan's place to get you your medicine in a bit. He'll be able to prescribe it!"
Lu Zheng, who had just returned home from the fields with Uncle Gu, sneezed and thought happily to himself, "Xiao Xinxin must be thinking of me!"
