Su Yue was still thinking about where she could pick wild vegetables when she suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice calling out "Fu Shen's wife."
Isn't that calling her?
She turned her head and saw that it was the old lady who had said yesterday in front of Wang Xiaohua's door that she and Fu Shen had stolen her good fortune.
Judging from Wang Xiaohua's rude attitude towards this old woman, she must be someone who loves to gossip and spread rumors.
Su Yue didn't want to say much, so she gave a perfunctory reply: "Yes."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Aunt Lin noticed Su Yue's obvious cold attitude towards her. Even though she was full of gossip that she couldn't hide, she had no chance to confide in anyone now. She could only stand there blankly, watching Su Yue's departing figure.
"Lin Dafeng, what are you still standing here for? Are you slacking off?"
A voice, tinged with reproach, rang in Aunt Lin's ears.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Lin glared at the person who accused her of being lazy and retorted irritably, "Mind your own business!"
She didn't even want to say that she hadn't done much work all morning, but she was very diligent in going to the toilet at home, yet she still had the nerve to accuse her of being lazy.
As Su Yue walked along, she saw a little child playing by the roadside with a smile on his face. She asked him, "Little boy, do you know where people in the village usually go to find wild vegetables?"
The child clearly told her a direction, and then skipped away.
Su Yue followed the direction the child pointed and came to a flat slope.
There is a path on the side of the slope, and the child said that if you follow this path, you can find wild vegetables.
This should be the place.
"Su Yue?" Suddenly, a voice with a hint of hesitation came.
Su Yue subconsciously turned her head, and when she saw who was holding the bicycle not far away, her eyes flashed with surprise. "Qin Zhizhi, what are you doing here? Do you live around here?"
She thought she would never see the man who shared her secret again after they parted ways in the army, but she never expected to see him again.
Qin Zhizhi pushed her bicycle and walked a little closer to Su Yue, explaining with a smile, "I saw your back, but I wasn't sure it was you. My house isn't here; this is my maternal grandmother's house."
Su Yue replied with a smile, "Fu Shen's hometown is here."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhizhi couldn't help but blurt out, "Is that man who died so tragically here too?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized his mistake, a look of embarrassment flashing across his face. He said apologetically, "That's not what I meant..."
Su Yue didn't take it to heart, after all, Fu Shen had indeed died a tragic death in his previous life.
only…
"You must not say these things again."
Qin Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Su Yue wasn't angry. "You told me something I couldn't say, and I haven't told anyone since I came back. But I couldn't help but say it today when I saw you."
Su Yue nodded; she understood that feeling.
It's really painful to have a secret in your heart but have to keep it to yourself, not even to your closest relatives.
It was precisely because she and Qin Zhizhi each harbored a shared secret that they could talk to each other without any reservations, saying whatever was on their minds.
Su Yue looked up at the bicycle handlebars, where a bag was hanging. Qin Zhizhi must be here to deliver something to her grandmother's house. She shouldn't be late.
She said, "Go to your grandma's house first, and we can talk again when you have time."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhizhi said urgently, "I'm free! I came here today intending to stay at my grandmother's house for a few days. Are you going to pick wild vegetables? I'll go too. Wait for me, I'll ride my bike back and come right away."
Fearing that Su Yue might get impatient, he pointed to a courtyard not far away, "My maternal grandmother's house is very close to here, it's just that secluded house over there."
