Chapter 86 The eldest doesn't talk about the second brother being blind
What's wrong with her? Why does Weiwei look at her like that?
Could it be that her makeup is smudged, or that she's wearing her clothes inside out?
She looked herself up and down, then took out her small mirror and looked at her face.
No problem, everything is so perfect, she's still so beautiful.
"Weiwei, what are you looking at?"
Shen Xuewei said earnestly, "Auntie, before you criticize others, think about yourself. You say others are blind, but if your eyes were sharp, would you have fallen for him in the first place? Even if the eldest doesn't say the second is blind, you're not as good as her."
Chen Fanglan, feeling somewhat embarrassed and angry, said:
"Nonsense, I wasn't... uh, I wasn't..."
She racked her brains but couldn't come up with a reason to excuse herself.
It seems... she really isn't much better than that girl.
Finally, he raised his head, feeling he had lost face in front of Shen Xuewei, and stubbornly walked in front of her with his eyes still up.
Shen Xuewei glanced at the high heels on her feet, but continued walking slowly.
The two walked one after the other. At first, Chen Fanglan walked quite fast, while Shen Xuewei followed far behind.
Gradually, she slowed down, and the distance between them gradually closed until they were walking side by side again.
With her legs aching more and more, Chen Fanglan finally couldn't bear it anymore.
She called out sweetly, "Weiwei," and Shen Xuewei sighed resignedly, raising one shoulder.
"Come on, let's walk slowly. We just need to get to Auntie's house before dark."
Chen Fanglan chuckled and leaned her body against Shen Xuewei's shoulder, giving her a quick kiss.
"Auntie knew it; Weiwei is the best to Auntie."
A look of helplessness flashed across Shen Xuewei's face as she took out a tissue from her pocket and wiped the lipstick stain off her face.
The two walked along the road for nearly an hour before finally seeing the road leading to Fuxing Village.
With the weight on Shen Xuewei lessened, Chen Fanglan straightened up, straightened her clothes, and, arm in arm with Shen Xuewei, walked towards the village.
When villagers who knew them encountered the two, they greeted them warmly.
"Hey, isn't this Chu Fu's sister-in-law and Xue Wei? Have you eaten yet? If not, come to my house for a bite."
Chen Fanglan responded warmly, "No, no, Auntie, we still have to go to my sister and brother-in-law's. We'll definitely come to your house next time we have time! Next time!"
"Alright, since you're busy, I won't stop you."
"Goodbye, Auntie."
The two walked along the village, passing several houses, and finally stood in front of the Chu family's door.
Shen Xuewei quickened her pace and ran into the house, calling out, "Grandpa Chu, Second Aunt, Second Uncle, are you home?"
Chu Fu peeked out from the kitchen and was both surprised and delighted to see Shen Xuewei appear.
He wiped the water off himself and hurried out.
“Weiwei is here. Your second aunt isn’t home. De’an has had a fever for the past two days, so she took him to the next village to find a doctor and get some medicine.”
Upon hearing that Chu De'an was sick, Shen Xuewei asked worriedly, "Is it serious? Should I go and see him?"
The next village is Fuman Village.
Shen Xuewei used to study in Fuman Village and knows where the clinic is located.
Chen Fanglan, who was following behind, also heard their conversation and dragged her legs as she walked in.
"What? De'an is sick? Did that kid go swimming? Is he alright...?"
Chu Fu quickly interrupted them, "Alright, he just has a bit of a fever. Your sister took him there for a while, and she should be back soon. You two can sit at home for a bit and not bother with that."
He poured two cups of hot water and placed them on the table for the two of them, then pointed to the chairs beside him.
"Sit down and wait. You're still wearing these shoes; aren't you tired? I feel tired just looking at them."
He shook his head, turned around, and went back to the kitchen to keep busy.
Chen Fanglan pulled herself into the chair and sat down. The moment she sat down, she let out a long, comfortable sigh, feeling completely liberated.
Shen Xuewei took a sip of hot water and then squatted at the door waiting for Chen Fangli and Chu De'an to return.
Grandpa Chu was planing wood in the woodworking shop when he glanced at Shen Xuewei.
Seeing Shen Xuewei resting her chin on her hand and squinting her eyes, she looked both sleepy and bored.
He stopped what he was doing and pushed the wooden cart he had made for Chu De'an out to Shen Xuewei.
"Weiwei, come here and sit in this little car while we wait for them. If you squat like this, your legs will go numb in a while."
Shen Xuewei pulled the cart over and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Grandpa Chu."
Grandpa Chu had a kind look in his eyes. "You're still so polite, child."
Shen Xuewei sat in the car, occasionally sliding her legs to the sides of the car as she drove around the house, turning left and right. She looked much more energetic than before.
Grandpa Chu smiled with satisfaction and turned back to continue the work he hadn't finished.
Shen Xuewei and Chen Fangli waited inside for about half an hour before Chen Fangli returned on her bicycle with Chu De'an on the back.
Chu De'an looked listless, his eyelids drooped, and his complexion was not as rosy as usual.
The moment she saw them return, Shen Xuewei quickly got off the wooden cart and went to greet them.
"Second Aunt, De'an, you're back!"
Chen Fangli's originally calm face broke into an affectionate smile when she saw Shen Xuewei. "Hey, how long have you been here? Why didn't you call me? I would have come to pick you up."
Chen Fanglan stood up, holding onto the chair, and waved her hand, saying, "There's no need for you to pick us up. We'll be there in just a few steps."
As the two sisters were talking, Shen Xuewei stepped forward and took Chu De'an off the back of the bicycle.
She touched his forehead.
The temperature is indeed a bit higher than usual, but not seriously.
"De'an, are you still feeling unwell?"
Chu De'an gently shook his head and leaned against her. "I'm not feeling unwell. Sis, I want to sleep for a while. But you can't leave. I want to play with you when I feel better."
Shen Xuewei gently pushed him towards the room, "Okay, then you take a nap first, I'll wake you up when it's time to eat. When you're more energetic, we can play together again."
Chu De'an gave a listless reply and climbed into bed.
She fell asleep within two minutes.
Shen Xuewei covered him with the blanket, left the room, and gently closed the door behind her.
Inside the main room, sisters Chen Fangli and Chen Fanglan were already chatting.
Chen Fangli is not a talkative person, but since she hadn't seen Chen Fanglan for several months, she spoke a few more words.
As Chen Fanglan spoke, she rubbed her legs. Chen Fangli glanced at the sky-high heels on her feet and frowned slightly.
“You walked all the way here from home with Weiwei, and you were wearing such high heels. If you don’t want your legs anymore, you might as well just cut them off.”
While uttering reprimanding words, he took the initiative to get up, went to the shoe rack, and threw his slippers in front of Chen Fanglan.
"Your brother-in-law is cooking. You'll be sleeping at home with Weiwei tonight and will go back tomorrow night."
Chen Fanglan couldn't wait to take off her high heels.
When I put on Chen Fangli's slippers, I was startled by the cold.
However, once his feet touched the flat ground, he sighed with pleasure.
"Second sister, stop talking. You know I like it this way."
