Seeing that Yu Jianchen didn't want to say more, they chatted for a few more minutes, then Yu picked up his basket, said goodbye, and left. Shen Qianqian was about to offer to see him off.
Ke Yu walked away very quickly, afraid that she would catch up and ask him questions.
That...that was an injury on her hand, wasn't it?
What happened to that injury? Who caused it?
Shen Qianqian's expression gradually turned serious; she had an answer in her heart.
Judging from Yu Jianchen's reaction just now, the other party obviously didn't want her to know about this matter. Even when she asked Zeng He about his work, she didn't get much information out of him.
Shen Qianqian arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Upon seeing her, Yu Linxiu quickly took the things over: "This is what my aunt asked me to take back. You can take it back with you."
Yu Linxiu handed over a bamboo basket containing a fish, a piece of pork, and some pastries wrapped in oil paper.
Shen Qianqian glanced at it, reached out and took it, then asked directly, "Why isn't Auntie working at the lumber mill anymore?"
"Huh?"
Yu Linxiu looked bewildered: "I don't know."
Leaving your workstation without a reason is a big deal, especially since your aunt is a full-time employee.
"Where did you hear that from? I don't know anything about it. I'll ask my aunt when I see her..."
Unable to get any information from Lin Xiu, Shen Qianqian suppressed another question that was on the tip of her tongue and stopped asking.
At the end of August, the weather was still muggy and hot, without a breath of wind. The branches and leaves of the big trees by the roadside didn't even move. The air was thick, and if you stood in the sun for a while, your arms would be covered with a layer of sticky sweat.
Shen Qianqian rode her bike incredibly fast. Good heavens, she'll definitely have to wear a hat next time she goes out!
Back at the Yu family home, Shen Qianqian ran back to her room, took out the drinks she had brought back from the capital, gulped down several mouthfuls, and then leaned against the door, panting.
Then take the bamboo basket to the kitchen and put it away.
Two familiar figures emerged from the main hall.
One of them was very emotional.
"If it weren't for the fact that we're in-laws, would I have introduced you to such a good marriage? Your daughters, one, two of them, are all dreaming!"
"You know how badly they scolded me when they got back? I only took five yuan, and I went to all that trouble to help you two find a good match, and now it's my fault?!"
"My dear in-laws, if you don't discipline your children, they'll become unruly and demanding. You can't neglect their education!"
Hu Guichen failed twice in matchmaking, and the second time she was even verbally abused by someone who came to her door, her reputation was on the verge of collapse.
So today, he rushed over and gave Old Lady Fang a sarcastic and sarcastic speech.
When she saw her in-laws to the door, Old Mrs. Fang didn't dare to say a word, her wrinkled face...
He looked worried and nodded only after the other person finished speaking.
"Yes, yes, I'll definitely talk to them about it later. I'll have to trouble you with matchmaking in the future."
Ah, we're in-laws, relatives. If there's a good marriage proposal, you should definitely think of us..."
Grandma Fang was like a blade of grass swaying in the wind, her head bending and nodding down repeatedly before suddenly standing up, thinking of the fool who had come to her for a blind date before.
Chao Hugui Chen gave Hu Gui Chen an embarrassed look.
"I don't want someone who looks like an idiot; he's even worse than the guy my granddaughter dated before." Ha! She's already picked someone?
Hu Guichen narrowed his eyes, a disdainful glint flashing across his face.
A person who lacks self-awareness is even more foolish than a fool.
Hu Guichen's expression softened slightly, but he cried bitterly, "My dear in-law, it's not that I don't want you because I have good families, it's just that good families want families with good conditions. People from the county all want to marry people from the county. Your Lin Xiu is alright, at least she has a job at the supply and marketing cooperative and is still a high school student, but your Lin Yun..."
Hu Guichen didn't finish his sentence, but those who understood the implication knew what he meant.
"Sigh, I'm not saying anything bad. Besides, that idiot has three older sisters. Two of them are full-time employees in a textile factory, and one is a teacher at a school. Although he's a bit simple-minded, if he marries her, with her sisters helping her out, she'll have no worries about food or clothing. Isn't that a good life? And you still complain? If we weren't in-laws, would I have left this good marriage to you?"
"I'll talk to that family again later. This is a good marriage; we should try to save it if we can."
Looking at it this way, this partner seems pretty good.
"Yes, yes, we are family. It's all thanks to you for thinking of our Yu family. Cough cough, in-laws..." Old Mrs. Fang said a few nice words, then suddenly seemed to remember something, her cloudy eyes rolled, and she asked Hu Guichen in a low voice.
"Shouldn't seeing Shen mean something good is going to happen?"
Hu Guichen's expression immediately changed, but he quickly concealed it and let out a long sigh.
"Having a child is a matter of fate. I took Jianchen to see a doctor and she's taken a lot of medicine, but there's no point in rushing it. Jianchen is under a lot of pressure, so how can I pressure her at a time like this? It won't do any good, don't you think, my dear in-law?"
"When there's good news, I'll definitely tell you first."
Not pregnant again?
Grandma Fang gave a dry laugh.
My daughter has been married into the Zeng family for five years, and there's still no sign of a child. If this continues, people will start calling her a barren hen.
Grandma Fang was so anxious.
Could it be that I really can't have children?
But that shouldn't be the case. Just a year after her daughter got married, good news came quickly, but not long after, the three-month-old fetus was lost.
After that incident, my daughter never got pregnant again.
So much so that every time she saw Hu Guichen, she felt guilty. Alas, her daughter married into the Zeng family, but she didn't give birth to a son or daughter for the Zeng family.
Shen Qianqian listened to the two old ladies talking behind the kitchen door. The two of them treated the yard like a living room, showing no restraint at all, and their voices were as loud as loudspeakers.
Sigh, she was forced to hear it; otherwise, who would want to hear this lousy gossip?
