Chapter 52: Talking to Su Zhiqing (1 / 1)



Lin Qiushuang and Gu Chuyun both looked at Jiang Qiandu, who was wearing a military uniform, with confusion.

Jiang Qiandu said to them calmly, "I'm going to ask Su Zhiqing something about Wang Hu. You guys go first."

Gu Chuyun spoke in a gentle voice, with respect for the soldiers, "So that's the case. Then we won't bother you anymore."

The hoe on Su Xinmu's shoulder had already been taken off by Jiang Qiandu.

Jiang Qiandu asked, "When did you and Wang Hu get to know each other?"

Su Hsin-mi answered the question literally, "I didn't really know him. I bought some pork from his stall one time, and somehow he recognized me. The next day he asked a matchmaker to come to my house and ask me to marry him."

"Fortunately, I have no intention of getting married, otherwise if this person took advantage of me, I would be in danger."

After hearing Su Xinmo's story, Jiang Qiandu's dark eyes were like an abyss that turned into a cold pond. The corners of his mouth were tightly tightened and his brows were wrinkled.

"He is worthy of marriage."

Jiang Qiandu looked at Su Xinmu and found that she was intact. He felt relieved. Others didn't know that when he learned that Wang Hu had taken a fancy to Su Xinmu, his heart was tense and he couldn't breathe.

Fortunately, she is fine.

"Fortunately I told you in advance not to let you go up the mountain."

Su Xinmu was a little confused, "At that time, everyone in the village knew that we should not go up the mountain because it was dangerous, so why did Shen Chunhua go up the mountain?"

Jiang Qiandu told Su Xinmo the whole story, but he didn't say much about the girl's reputation, nor did he mention some things that needed to be kept confidential.

"You said she was spotted by Butcher Wang on the mountain and then kidnapped?"

"Then why did she go up the mountain?" Su Xinmi always had a question in her mind.

Jiang Qiandu pinched his brows and said, "She said she went up the mountain to help Liao Jianda pick wild fruits."

Su Xinmi suddenly remembered that she had seen Shen Chunhua and Liao Jianda meeting in private.

She told Jiang Qiandu about this.

"That makes sense. Shen Chunhua likes Liao Jianda, so she listened to Liao Jianda and went up the mountain to pick wild fruits."

At this point, Jiang Qiandu's thoughts were connected all at once, "Liao Jianda knew that Shen Chunhua was missing, and it was because of him, but he concealed the truth when she was missing and everyone in the village was looking for her. He knew the inside story but didn't tell anyone."

Su Xinmu never thought that Liao Jianda was such a despicable and shameless person who came to harass her repeatedly.

She gave this man some warnings. Although he no longer harassed her, he was still harming other girls.

Jiang Qiandu didn't stay long and went to catch Liao Jianda.

By the time Su Xinmo arrived at the assigned land, Lin Qiushuang and Gu Chuyun had already done most of the work.

She thought she came too fast, but she didn't expect the two men to have done so much. She felt a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

Lin Qiu Shuang didn't want to say much to her. She was always cold and indifferent, and seemed like she didn't care about anything.

Gu Chuyun was polite, "It's okay, Su Zhiqing, you also provided important clues."

Lin Qiu Shuang then looked at Su Xinmu twice more and then went back to work.

She was not skilled at these jobs at first, but now she had gotten used to them. Although she was not as good as the other aunties in the village, she could already earn seven or eight work points.

Every time Gu Chuyun saw Lin Qiushuang earning so many work points, he would praise her, which made Lin Qiushuang very happy.

Gu Chuyun also knew that Su Xinmao was almost harmed by Wang Hu, and said with concern, "Su Zhiqing, although the recent incident in the mountains has been resolved, you, as a girl, still need to be careful when you are outside."

"Thank you. I was almost scared too."

Su Xinmi has never had any contact with Gu Chuyun, but she still has a good feeling towards him.

This man wore a pair of glasses and looked gentle, but he was actually very efficient at work, at least better than her and Ji Wei.

The most comfortable thing about being with him is that he is always polite, showing his good upbringing. He also knows what not to ask or inquire about during a conversation, and he always finds just the right balance.

Lin Qiushuang couldn't dig with the hoe at all, so she stopped and watched them talk.

She felt something sour bubbling in her heart, about to drown her.

At noon, the sun was a bit fierce. They all brought dry food here so that they could finish their work early and go back early.

Gu Chuyun took out the watch from his pocket. He had not worn a watch since he went to the countryside, but he had the habit of checking the time, so he always wore the watch in his pocket.

"Su Zhiqing, Qiu Shuang, it's time for lunch. Let's eat something first."

As soon as Gu Chuyun finished speaking, Lin Qiu Shuang dropped the hoe in her hand and walked towards Gu Chuyun.

Su Xinmi did not join them because she arrived later. The other two worked more actively than her. Because they were assigned to a team of three, they got more land.

If she couldn't finish the work, she would be a burden to them, and she didn't want to affect their work points.

She has lots of snacks and beef jerky in her bag so she can eat anytime.

Su Xinmi also discovered that Lin Qiushuang seemed to be paying attention to her intentionally or unintentionally, and did not allow her to stay with Gu Chuyun.

She had also learned from Jiang Yinqiu about Lin Qiushuang's attitude towards Gu Chuyun over this long period of time.

It’s better not to join in the fun.

Jiang Yinqiu finished her work first in the afternoon. She ran to Su Xin with a hoe in hand.

"Mi Mi, Ji Wei and I are going to make a bet to see who will complete the task first, you or me."

"Hahahaha, looks like I'm the winner after all. I can go to his place and eat some rabbit meat tonight."

Ever since Ji Weibai picked up a rabbit last time and discovered how delicious rabbit is, he has been asking around for ways to eat rabbit meat.

Then he was scolded by the village aunties for being lazy and gluttonous. The village aunties were not happy to see him.

Ji Wei was not willing to suffer the consequences. He followed Su Xin's example and tried to give the children some candy. After asking the children, he found out that Goudan's family had a nest of wild rabbits.

He asked someone to lead the way to Goudan's house, and saw that it was indeed a litter of rabbits, and the rabbits had given birth to cubs.

He bought one and took it home. From then on, whenever he wanted rabbit meat, he would go to Goudan's house to buy it.

Su Xinmi thought that this person was quite funny, and he knew not to do things against his will. He lived his life as he pleased, freely and comfortably.

But she didn't expect that these two people would bet with her. She had been working very hard to weed, but it was still not fast enough.

Jiang Yinqiu helped with a hoe, "Hey, I helped you, how are you going to repay me?"

Su Xin looked at her and put her hat back on. "Okay, okay, I knew you were a bad girl."

Even though he said that, he still gave her some beef jerky.

Jiang Yinqiu only likes to eat meat. She seldom eats this kind of food. It is usually Su Xinmi who finds it for her.

Su Xinmi said that this was sent to her by her uncle, and she was very jealous, but she also felt that Su Xinmi was worth it.

Just when the two of them took a bite, Lin Qiu Shuang walked past them, and Su Xin politely asked her if she wanted to eat.

Lin Qiushuang's voice was emotionless. "I don't have time."
