Chapter 144: Everyone is spreading rumors about the third brother

"How about you carry the bamboo shoots back first?"

Jiang Xinyue looked at her sister and niece who would not be back for a while, and turned to Pei Che for a suggestion.

"Need not."

It was a rare opportunity to be alone with her, so Pei Che didn't want to go back early.

Jiang Xinyue said nothing more after hearing this. Her eyes moved to Yaya and Manyue. Seeing the two little girls preparing to pick flowers by the river, she hurried over.

"You are not allowed to go over there, stand still!"

Worried that her sister and niece might fall into the river, Jiang Xinyue ran forward quickly. She jumped from the road into the field, dodged the rice, climbed up the ridge along the ditch, and ran forward.

The speed is so fast.

"Xinyue, slow down and be careful where you step."

As soon as Pei Che finished speaking, Jiang Xinyue had already rushed to Jiang Manyue and the others.

She pulled Jiang Manyue and the others back and sternly lectured her sister and Yaya.

"I forgot what my teacher taught me in school. You must not go near the water."

"Sister, I can swim." Jiang Manyue retorted.

Jiang Xinyue immediately glared at her and said, "You are so small, you can swim out of that big river?"

Last year, my second cousin’s wife jumped into the river with her two children. She could swim, but she couldn’t swim out with the two children.

Of course, this may be the reason why my second cousin-in-law is determined to die.

Jiang Xinyue did not delve into the past, as she did not want to have any complacency about her family's safety.

She lectured Manyue and Yaya with a stern face. The two little girls hung their heads and dared not say a word.

The two little girls who went to pick flowers happily were scolded with a stern face when they came back. They walked with their heads hung and were in a very depressed mood.

Pei Che looked at Jiang Xinyue who was not far away. She was obviously just an adult, but she acted like a mature adult when it came to educating her sister and niece.

This is what the saying means that children from poor families grow up early.

Their parents left them early, and their grandparents raised them with great difficulty, which made the sisters exceptionally sensible.

No matter who you are, marrying several sisters is a great blessing.

I don’t know if I have this blessing?

Pei Che silently watched Jiang Xinyue walking in front of him, secretly calculating the days in his heart.

One year, one whole year left, and the result will be revealed...

When Jiang Xinyue and her friends came back, Jiang Mingyue and her sisters were still at home.

The two sisters were very happy to see the bamboo shoots that their younger sister had just dug up. They peeled the shells of the bamboo shoots with gloves on, boiled a pot of water and poured the bamboo shoots into the water to rinse them.

The bamboo shoots in June are not like the spring bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots at this time have a faint bitter taste.

After blanching, only the fragrance of the bamboo shoots remains.

Jiang Xinyue is good at housework both inside and outside the house. While her elder sister was blanching the cut bamboo shoots, she took out the rack woven by her grandfather for draining water, put the bamboo fence on it, washed and dried the bamboo shoots, and waited to dry them.

"The bamboo shoots are good this year. We'll go dig some up later and cut them all up and dry them in the sun. We'll use them to stew meat in winter."

Jiang Mingyue was watching her sisters drying the bamboo shoots, and she made a suggestion.

Jiang Xinyue, "Uncle Liu hasn't had dinner yet, I'll go dig two more baskets."

"Okay, there's no need to rush. It will be the same if we go tomorrow."

Jiang Mingyue couldn't stand the fact that her younger sister couldn't sit still at home after returning home. She felt that when her younger sister returned home, both she and her elder sister had less time.

"Xinyue, you are a student now, you should focus more on studying."

Jiang Meiyue also smiled and nodded, "Yes, don't worry about doing housework all day long. Your second sister has no time to take care of the children, but don't you still have me?"

"Big sister, second sister, how can this be the same? I also want grandpa and grandma to remember that the food they eat is grown by me."

Jiang Xinyue knew that her sisters felt sorry for her, but she knew it better than anyone else.

She worked hard but never neglected her studies.

And there is no rule that people who do more farm work cannot study well.

The sisters were talking while working, and two little girls, Yaya and Manyue, were helping to carry things.

There was an unexpected silence between the two.

This made Jiang Mingyue laugh a little.

"What happened to you? Did you get hurt while out there?"

"Who bullied our Yaya and Manyue?"

Jiang Mingyue asked with a smile.

Jiang Xinyue's face darkened. "They almost went to the river just now to pick flowers, and Manyue said she could swim!"

"Tsk tsk, this girl." Jiang Mingyue imitated her sister's words, repeated them with a smile, turned to look at Jiang Meiyue on the side and said, "Big sister, look at this girl Xinyue, she is really used to being the head of the family."

"You are still a child, but you are lecturing Man Yue in an adult tone."

Jiang Meiyue also laughed when she heard the voice, "Xinyue has always been a little adult."

Jiang Xinyue was not happy. "Second sister, I am already eighteen. When my eldest sister was eighteen, she was already married."

"So you think you can get married now?"

Jiang Mingyue joked with a smile.

Jiang Xinyue snorted, "I'm just talking about the age issue. It has nothing to do with whether I want to get married or not."

The sisters were chatting and joking. Man Yue and Ya Ya were relieved to see that the adults didn't scold them.

After the sisters had tidied up the house, they closed the door and went to Liu's house in the village together.

In order to avoid suspicion, Pei Che left their home after returning with the bamboo shoots and went to help the Liu family.

In fact, he has no family relationship with the Liu family and is not currently a member of their village. It would be fine for him to just go and have a meal instead of helping.

However, Pei Che seemed to have already considered himself a member of the Jiang family in his heart, so he would naturally help.

Jiang Mingyue and the others came to Liu's house. Looking at Pei Che working with Gu Dongqing and the others, and then looking at Liu Fujuan in the new house, she couldn't help laughing.

Who would have thought that Fu Juan had asked her about Pei Che, and how long had it been since then? Fu Juan was going to marry Brother Tie Zhu right away?

But then again, Liu Fujuan's clear distinction between love and hate, and her ability to stop thinking about something when she knows she can't get it, is still very likable.

At least Jiang Mingyue likes it very much.

When Liu Fujuan saw that there was no one else in the bridal chamber, she quietly pulled Jiang Mingyue's sleeve.

"Mingyue, everyone in the village is saying that Comrade Pei Che is the son-in-law you kept for Xinyue. Is this true?"

Liu Fujuan had no ill intention in asking this question.

She simply wanted to know if this was true.

After all, after Gu Dongqing married the second son of the Jiang family, Feng Yujun immediately started dating the eldest son of the Jiang family.

There are three brothers, and there is still Pei Che left. If he is dating Jiang Xinyue, then it is entirely possible.

Jiang Mingyue was stunned by Liu Fujuan's question.

"Fujuan"

"Mingyue, please don't lie to me. I just want to know if Comrade Pei Che really likes Xinyue?"

Although she still thinks Pei Che is handsome and attractive, if she really has to choose between Pei Che and Zhao Tiezhu, she would definitely choose the silly Zhao Tiezhu.

Now it's just pure curiosity.

Jiang Mingyue sighed, but it was not easy to lie to her friend, so she could only answer vaguely, "I just found out about it too."
