Fan Xiaofan pretended not to know, nodded with a smile, and extended her little finger to him.
Fu Weidong was somewhat disdainful of her childishness, but still awkwardly extended his little finger, reluctantly making an agreement.
Fan Xiaofan stood up, took his hand, and said, "Alright, can you come back with me now?"
Fu Weidong hummed in agreement, awkwardly letting her pull him along.
Fan Xiaofan thanked the village chief's wife, who was smiling at the two siblings not far away, for helping to take care of the child.
The village chief's wife waved her hand and said, "Don't be so polite. Herding one sheep is the same as herding a flock of sheep. He usually follows Shi Zhiqing to practice kung fu obediently, rain or shine. He occasionally comes over to drink with Gou Dan and the others, and he's very well-behaved. There's no need for me to worry about him."
At this point, she beckoned to Fan Xiaofan and asked with a gossipy look, "Speaking of which, have you heard about the Zhou family's affairs?"
Fan Xiaofan shook her head: "I just got back."
A hint of curiosity also arose: "What happened to the Zhou family?"
The village chief's wife sent the children to play in the yard, then pulled Fan Xiaofan to sit in a sunny spot. The warm sun felt wonderful on their skin.
"The Zhou family plotted to arrange your marriage, but it didn't work out. Then this natural disaster struck, and life became difficult. So the Zhou family wrote to your family, but they didn't reply at all. Then they came to make trouble for your brother..."
Hearing this, Fan Xiaofan was somewhat surprised, because Fan Yunyan had not told her about this.
"That's the reason. The Zhou family is greedy enough. They weren't willing to give up without getting anything, so they sent another message to Beidu. This time it wasn't for your mother, but for your father. In the end, they didn't get the money or tickets, but they did bring your mother over."
What? This is quite unexpected for Fan Xiaofan. Zhou Xuehua was actually sent back to Zhoujia Village by her father. She subconsciously touched her chin. It seems that things have been quite lively in the Fan family of Beidu since she left last time...
Does my brother know?
The village chief's wife nodded, her expression complicated, and said, "Your mother came to our door. You have no idea what happened. Your brother was working in the fields, covered in sweat. As soon as she found him, she knelt down without saying a word and made your brother beg your father to let her go back."
What? Kneel down? Fan Xiaofan almost thought he had misheard. What kind of operation was this?
Seeing her stunned expression, the village chief's wife easily guessed what she was thinking and complained with great empathy, "Isn't that right? You have no idea, it scared your brother to death. Although people are all about modern things these days, for an elder to kneel down to a younger person, oh my god, I really don't know what she was thinking?"
Fan Xiaofan silently thought to herself, "She's probably gone mad..."
But this was a difficult question to answer. Just as the village chief's wife believed that it was unacceptable for elders to kneel before juniors, it was also reasonable for juniors to speak ill of elders. Therefore, after her initial surprise, she suppressed her urge to complain and asked, "And then what happened?"
The village chief's wife immediately put her hands on her hips triumphantly. The old lady was incredibly adorable: "Of course, it was me who stepped in. I only took care of that silly boy because of you, Xiao Fan. Let me tell you, back then I..."
Recalling her heroic act, she immediately began to excitedly describe the scene.
"I rushed over quickly, grabbed her, and before she could say a word, I immediately shouted, 'Hey, the ground in the countryside is really hard to walk on. Did you twist your ankle? Let me help you up.'"
"I've worked in the fields my whole life, I'm very strong..."
