"Hello, Grandma Zhang." The big girl greeted and welcomed Aunt Zhang in.
"You have kept this yard really clean. You can tell it's a place where people live and work. The flowers are blooming beautifully, and it's lively." Aunt Zhang couldn't help but praise as she entered the room.
"Auntie, drink some water first." Song Qingyun brought out a bowl of sugar water and asked Aunt Zhang to sit down.
Aunt Zhang took it happily. She was thirsty after walking all the way here, so she took a big sip. It was sweet!
"It's sugar water, you are too polite, third daughter-in-law." Aunt Zhang drank the rest in two gulps, her eyebrows curved with joy. She filled a small basket with a lot of seeds and seedlings.
There are all kinds of green vegetables including green onions, cabbage and so on.
"These are the seeds and other things you wanted. I also picked out a few persimmon seedlings, eggplant seedlings, and pepper seedlings for you. I had a lot of them at that time." Aunt Zhang said happily.
"Thank you, Auntie. Auntie, wait for me, I'll get the cloth."
"Okay, okay." Aunt Zhang responded with a smile.
Song Qingyun went back to the house, and Xia Weian came out to chat with Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang is a kind person, and Uncle Zhang is also kind, and they both have a good relationship with Xia Weian's family.
They are also one of the few families that did not call Xia Wei'an the extinct family.
"Third brother, you made the right decision to move out." Aunt Zhang said with relief.
"We also feel that life will be completely different after this comes out." Xia Weian responded with a smile.
The eldest girl went into the kitchen, washed the wild fruits they brought back, and handed them to Aunt Zhang, "Grandma Zhang, have a try."
When Song Qingyun came out with the red cloth and cotton cloth, Aunt Zhang had just picked up a wild fruit...
Xia Weian watched Aunt Zhang warmly say thank you to Da Niu, took the fruit, and his expression changed slightly.
He remembered that in his previous life, Aunt Zhang was choked to death by wild fruits.
This way of death was very unique, and many people in the village were talking about it, so Xia Weian was deeply impressed.
Song Qingyun hurried forward, "Auntie, don't eat."
"What's wrong, Third Wife?"
"Mom, I'm clean." The big girl looked at Song Qingyun with some confusion.
"I know. Eating fruit right after drinking sugar water will make your mouth sour. You have to wait a while." Song Qingyun made up a far-fetched excuse.
"Oh, so that's it..." Although the girl didn't quite understand, she believed Song Qingyun.
Aunt Zhang didn't think much about it. She knew that Song Qingyun was a good person. She responded happily, put the wild fruit down again, and reached out to take the red cloth and cotton cloth from Song Qingyun's hand.
“What a beautiful color.”
"Aunt, this is a defective cloth. There were oil stains on it before. The supply and marketing cooperative sold it cheaply without asking for a receipt. I bought it and used herbal juice to remove the oil stains. It looks the same as new." Song Qingyun said with a smile.
"Yes, if you hadn't told me, how could you tell it had oil stains on it? I want it."
"Third wife, take a look at how much money it is. It should be enough to make two sets of bedding." Aunt Zhang said generously.
"Aunt, we have a close relationship. To be honest, I didn't spend much money on this. Just give me one dollar in total." Song Qingyun said.
Aunt Zhang immediately waved her hand and said, "That won't do. How can you only accept one dollar? Third daughter-in-law, please don't be embarrassed to ask for money."
"Auntie, just give me one dollar. I don't have much cloth left. If someone asks you, just say the price is the same as in the supply and marketing cooperative, and you need a cloth coupon." Song Qingyun said with a smile.
"Third daughter-in-law, thank you so much." Aunt Zhang said with emotion.
Song Qingyun thought of how Aunt Zhang had taken care of him in his previous life and made up his mind to remind Aunt Zhang.
Big Girl, Second Girl, and the others were all in the front yard. Song Qingyun's eyes turned and said, "Big Girl, take your sisters to the river and see if you can catch some more small fish and shrimps. Mom will make fish sauce for you tonight."
"Okay, Mom." The girl responded.
When Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi heard that they were going to play by the river, they immediately jumped up with joy. They followed their sister and trotted out.
Only Xia Weian, Song Qingyun and Aunt Zhang were left in the yard.
Aunt Zhang was a smart woman. She saw that Song Qingyun had something to say to her, but didn't want the children to hear it.
"Third daughter-in-law, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. If I can do it, I will do my best to help you."
"Auntie, I don't need your help with anything, but there's something I don't know how to tell you."
"Third brother's wife, just tell me what's the matter. We are all from the same village, so there is no need to beat around the bush." Aunt Zhang patted Song Qingyun.
Song Qingyun and Xia Weian exchanged glances, and Song Qingyun looked up at Aunt Zhang with a slightly embarrassed look.
"Auntie, what I said was a bit light and serious, please don't mind it."
"What's going on with the third son's wife? Tell me quickly. She's making me so anxious." Aunt Zhang said.
Song Qingyun pursed his lips as if he had made up his mind, looked at Aunt Zhang and said, "Aunt, I had a dream a few days ago. I dreamed that when you were eating wild fruits... you choked yourself to death."
Aunt Zhang's face suddenly changed. She was about to marry her daughter-in-law, and it would be strange if she looked happy after hearing such unlucky words.
If someone else had said this, Aunt Zhang would have definitely cursed, but this was said by Song Qingyun...
Song Qingyun was honest and simple, worked diligently, and was sincere to others. He was one of the most kind people in Qingshan Village. Plus, they were now living in Han Hunter's house, and everyone said that Han Hunter...
Aunt Zhang took a deep breath and said, "Third daughter-in-law, how could you dream about such things?"
Song Qingyun looked at Aunt Zhang and said, "Aunt, I don't know either, but in my dream, because you ate a wild fruit, my brother didn't get married, and your uncle also..."
Song Qingyun paused, "Aunt, I think we should be on guard. If there is any danger, we can avoid it. If there is no danger, that would be the best."
Song Qingyun looked a little conflicted, and her conflicted expression made Aunt Zhang believe it a little more.
Aunt Zhang thought that whether she ate wild fruits or not would have no impact on Xia Weian's family, but they still risked her resentment by telling her the truth...
This shows that Song Qingyun really cares about her as an elder with whom he has a good relationship.
"Okay, Third Wife, I'll listen to you. I won't eat these wild fruits this year. I'll wait until my son successfully gets married and has grandchildren. Then I can eat them if I want."
"I have to be careful when eating too," said Aunt Zhang.
Song Qingyun then smiled in relief, "Yes, that's what Auntie is saying."
The two chatted for a while, and Aunt Zhang gave Song Qingyun a dollar, then went home with a heavy heart, holding the red cloth and cotton cloth.
After returning home, Aunt Zhang sat on the kang and thought about what Song Qingyun had said to her. How could someone die from choking while eating wild fruits? Is there really someone who died in this way?
Aunt Zhang thought about it, but then she remembered that she really liked eating wild fruits, so it was hard to say whether this matter would be a good one. Just to be on the safe side, she decided not to eat it.
Aunt Zhang made up her mind, but she didn't know that a week later, a woman from a neighboring village died of choking after eating wild fruits...
When this news came back, Aunt Zhang felt a chill down her spine. From then on, she believed everything Song Qingyun said 100%.
Even if she didn't quite understand, she would do it. Of course, that's another story.
