Chapter 99 I Don't Like You

It just so happens that the two families live quite close to each other, almost diagonally opposite each other, and can see each other.

Chen Yuhua walked a few steps towards this side and smiled gently: "Tang Juanzi, I heard that you ran down the mountain crying yesterday, are you okay?"

Tang Juanzi was not good at this kind of innuendo, so she said in a hoarse voice: "It's none of your business!"

Chen Yuhua said: "It's none of my business. I'm doing this for your own good. After all, you're a girl, you should be more reserved. You're too..."

She covered her lips with a handkerchief and didn't finish her words: "There are some things I don't want to say. You didn't come out just now, so you don't know that when Brother Tang saw that I was the only one there, he..."

She shook her head gently and looked at her with pity.

She actually said nothing, but it seemed like she said everything.

Tang Juanzi came out a step late in the first place, and didn't know what happened outside. When she heard this, her eyes widened.

She thought, could this really be the case? Because they were both here these days, and they were both near the car, so Tang Shifan didn't dare to stop the car? It just so happened that she wasn't here today, so Tang Shifan quickly stopped the car to talk to her, and only left when he saw her come out? He was immediately furious.

Chen Yuhua covered her lips with a handkerchief to hide her smile.

She thought to herself, how could someone so stupid as to want to snatch someone from me?

She said, "My mother seems to be calling me, so I'm going back."

She turned around and walked away gracefully. Tang Juanzi was so angry that she cursed, "Fox spirit! Fox spirit!!"

Chen Yuhua didn't even turn her head and slowly returned home.

The auntie next to her stretched her head to take a look and curled her lips.

As a result, when Brother Tang brought back the vegetables, rumors started to spread in the village that after he left in the morning, Tang Juanzi and Chen Yuhua had a quarrel.

Brother Tang was extremely annoyed, and Madam Lin was also annoyed, so she just told someone else about it.

He said that her parents had written to her saying that his uncle had arranged a marriage for him. They would go to the provincial capital to get married the following year. The girl's father was a friend of his uncle, and because Brother Tang had lived with his uncle for quite a while before and he had met him when he was young, they even exchanged the engagement letter.

When this word was spread, some people believed it and some did not.

But even if you don't believe it, you understand the meaning. To put it bluntly, Tang Shifan looks down on you and he wants to marry a girl from the city.

Some people will definitely be jealous of this, but it is this kind of words that are most relatable.

The second brother asked him, "Is this okay?"

"It's okay," said Brother Tang. "The words have been spoken, and it would be shameless to say anything more."

Brother Tang San urged from the side: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!"

The second brother was speechless: "Did my talking interfere with my work?"

Xinbao quickly raised his little hands: "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel! Don't quarrel."

Brother Tang San sighed and could only hold his sister and sit down and wait.

He wanted to catch cicada monkeys, but there was no suitable cloth bag at home, so his second brother could only cut up Tang Qingshan's old trousers and sew one for him. As a result, eldest brother Tang said that he would not deliver vegetables in the afternoon, so he went too and wanted one, so his second brother had to sew one for him.

Yes, my second brother does all the needlework at home, and Mrs. Lin usually doesn’t do it.

Fortunately, it was done quickly by just sewing the bottom of the trouser legs and adding a tie. The stitches didn’t need to be very fine, so the second brother threw it to his brother and said with a smile, “Don’t come back until you two have packed these two bags for me!”

Xinbao said: "Okay!"

The three of them went happily.

Xinbaoer had indeed forgotten where she looked yesterday, but she could find it everywhere as expected. Moreover, she came out early today, and the sky was still bright. Many cicada monkeys were slowly climbing up the trees, and she could find one with every pinch.

At first the third brother still kept count, but later he forgot about it when there were more.

Xinbao was tired of fishing, so her brother found a stone for her. Xinbao sat on it, holding the water bag, and gulped down a lot of water.

Brother Tang said, "We caught quite a few today. We'll send some to the Yuan family. When we go back to the city, we'll send a few to Master Lin and a few to the Shen family's store."

Brother Tang San asked: "How can anyone care about this thing?"

Brother Tang said, "It's hard for others to say, but I think Master Lin will definitely like it."

Xinbao said beside him, "Xinbao is going too!"

"Okay," said Brother Tang, "It's a bit late to go now. If you want to go, get up early."

Xinbao said, "Big brother is calling."

"Okay," said Brother Tang, "Brother is calling you."

When we went down the mountain in the afternoon, we picked two big bags of fruit. This kind of thing is rare, so we just ate it as a rarity. I picked about two pounds and gave it to Yuan Yaogui, and then I packed the leaves into two bags.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

As expected, he went there late the next day. Just as his second brother had dressed her and was about to put her in the basket, she woke up.

So she simply didn't take the basket, and her third brother just sat aside and hugged her.

As a result, when he passed by the village entrance, he saw Chen Yuhua standing at the door, looking at him with resentment. Big Brother Tang didn't even look at him, and the donkey cart didn't even stop. Xinbao lay on the shoulder of the third brother, and he saw her staring eyes getting farther and farther away... It was quite scary.

After entering the city, Brother Tang first went to the gate of the Shen family and delivered a small bag of cicada monkeys over there. Then he went to the Lin residence and also delivered the cicada monkeys in, saying that they were just for fun to eat.

Unexpectedly, while I was unloading the vegetables, Mr. Lin came out with his hands behind his back.

Brother Tang quickly saluted him, and Master Lin just nodded.

Xinbao was running around, helping to pick up the fallen vegetable leaves on the ground. Grandpa Lin walked through the back door and said with a smile, "Xinbao."

Xinbao turned back and said, "Hello, Uncle Lin."

Uncle Lin squatted in front of the little girl and said with a smile, "Xinbaoer, are you lying? You said that uncle would buy groceries and you would come to play with uncle, but you didn't come?"

Xinbao was stunned, blinked his eyes, and pointed at his fingers guiltily: "I'm sorry, Xinbao can't get up."

Grandpa Lin smiled and said, "How about this, Xinbao, help uncle catch some cicada monkeys tomorrow, and uncle will forgive you."

Xinbao nodded immediately and patted his chest: "Don't worry, uncle, Xinbao is very good at catching cicada monkeys!"

Uncle Lin obviously liked children very much and talked to Xinbao all the way. Brother Tang and the other man quickly unloaded the vegetables. As a result, when the housekeeper paid the bill, he gave them an extra tael of silver, saying that it was for buying cicadas.

Brother Tang said anxiously, "I got it by chance and gave it to Master Lin to try. I won't charge you for it."

The housekeeper looked at Master Lin, who stood up with a smile and said, "Thank you."

Brother Tang said, "It's nothing."

Grandpa Lin smiled and said to him, "I am a foodie. If you have any more cicada monkeys, grasshoppers, loaches, frogs, bean worms, etc., you can sell them to me. I know that these things are not easy to catch, so you don't have to catch them deliberately. If you happen to have extra ones, just send them to me and the price can be negotiated."

Brother Tang agreed immediately.

Grandpa Lin smiled and spoke a few more words to Xinbao before leaving.

The eldest brother Tang got on the donkey cart and walked out slowly. The third brother Tang said, "After lunch, I'll go get some more! It's only about two catties, right? That's one ounce of silver! It's obvious that he's not short of money!"
