Chapter 26: Conflict between Sisters
Gao Mingcheng actually stood there in a daze, staring at the beauties in a daze.
At this moment, he felt that many beauties were both familiar and strange. But there was no doubt that she was very beautiful, like a budding flower, gradually showing her beauty to the world.
"Gao Mingcheng, Gao Zhuang, you are here." Xuanyimei greeted them with a smile. Xuanyiyu beside her had a light flash in her eyes and immediately looked at Gao Mingcheng and the others.
When she saw clearly that the bucket was empty, the light in Yuyue's eyes disappeared. She curled her lips. Although the movement was subtle, Gao Mingcheng, who had improved his eyesight, still caught it.
Having experienced the ways of the world, he immediately guessed what Yu was thinking.
He borrowed buckets and knives from the Yu family to get honey, so Yu might have thought that he would send some more honey, but he didn't.
"Duomei, since Gao Mingcheng has returned the knife, you should quickly return the knife you borrowed from Aunt Liu's house! If you hadn't borrowed the knife from Aunt Liu's house, we wouldn't even be able to cook lunch without it!" Xuanyu said, with a sarcastic tone in her voice.
After hearing this, Xuanxuanmei's expression immediately changed. She looked embarrassed. She glanced at her second sister and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
At this moment, Gao Mingcheng also felt a little regretful.
It was his negligence that he forgot that many American families were too poor and only had one kitchen knife.
After he took the knife away, he didn't return it in time. Without a knife to cut vegetables, it would indeed affect cooking.
"I'll go and return it." Xuanyuemei said awkwardly, took the knife she had just used to cut vegetables, and walked towards Aunt Liu's house nearby.
Gao Mingcheng immediately put down the bucket and the knife was placed in the bucket.
He quickly caught up with her and whispered, "I'll go with you."
When the two of them were some distance away, Gao Mingcheng apologized in annoyance: "I'm sorry, I forgot to return your knife in time. Did your second sister scold you?"
Many beauties lowered their heads and shook their heads gently.
However, even if she denied it, Gao Mingcheng knew that Xuanyu must have scolded her.
The reason why he didn't like Xuanyu in his previous life was because of her personality.
When she needs help, she appears pitiful and humble, but once she is helped, she will act as if nothing happened afterwards. She will not remember the favor at all, but instead think that it is what others should do.
Of course, if it was really someone unrelated, he might be treated better, but who made him marry Xiu Xiumei, her brother-in-law?
So in his previous life, he helped the Yu family a lot, but never received any thanks.
Of course, he didn't want Xuanyu's gratitude. He helped her family out of Xuanmei's favor.
As long as many beauties can express his love and live a better life because of it, it is worth it.
At this moment, Gao Mingcheng wanted to make money quickly and marry a beautiful woman into his family.
The two of them remained silent all the way until they returned the knife to Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu watched them come over together to return the knife with a smile on her face, that same smile - as if she was eating a melon!
After Luo Xiaohua’s commotion in the morning, everyone in the village now knows that Gao Mingcheng has taken a fancy to many beauties and wants to marry them.
Aunt Liu looked at him unconcealedly, and her beautiful cheeks flushed with shame. She thanked him softly and wanted to leave quickly.
Gao Mingcheng was thick-skinned and was not afraid of being seen by Aunt Liu. He took half a step back and used his body to block Aunt Liu's gaze, protecting the beautiful girls as they left.
However, many beauties did not appreciate it and glared at him coquettishly, which made his bones go limp.
Gao Zhuang was still waiting there, and they also had things to do, so Gao Mingcheng said goodbye to Xuanyuemei. Xuanyuemei stood on the hillside, watching Gao Mingcheng and Gao Zhuang's backs as they left with smiling eyes.
When the man was completely gone, Xuanyun Meicai glared at her second sister in dissatisfaction and said, "Can't you give me a little face? Why do you have to say that in front of him? Don't you have any benefit from him? I lent him something, so what!"
Manyu Mei is not a cabbage that can be bullied, but for some reason, in front of Gao Mingcheng, she instinctively restrained her claws and pretended to be harmless.
Perhaps, she hoped to leave a good impression in Gao Mingcheng's heart.
Xuanyu curled her lips and started to argue, "Don't you know what's going on at home? Just a kitchen knife and two buckets! You lent them out, but didn't you ever think about whether you would need them yourself? Besides, didn't you say you were going to the mountains to get honey? You didn't even send some back after you got it!"
Manyi was furious and her voice became louder: "Who said it wasn't delivered? The honeycomb in the bowl, are you blind?"
"That was a gift from before!" Xuanyu Yu said confidently.
The two sisters had a quarrel because of this. Xiuxiumei had a hot temper and was good at speaking, but she was living under someone else's roof and eventually lost the fight and was angered to tears by her second sister.
At this moment, her thoughts were highly synchronized with Gao Mingcheng's - she wanted to get married, leave this home as soon as possible and have her own home!
Gao Mingcheng was unaware of the conflict between the two sisters. At this time, he and Gao Zhuang had already entered Niuweiling.
Niuweiling is very large, but places suitable for digging traps and setting snares need to be carefully searched for, based on the terrain and shape of the mountain and the living habits of wild animals.
Gao Mingcheng and Gao Zhuang were busy with this matter for an entire afternoon. Because they had to carefully check the situation in the grass, they were lucky enough to pick up a nest of pheasant eggs.
Pheasant eggs are smaller than domestic eggs. Eight eggs put together weigh less than one pound.
In addition to pheasant eggs, I also picked a handful of wild onions. This was used to fry eggs, and the fragrance could be smelled throughout half the village!
Gao Mingcheng asked Gao Zhuang to take the things home later, while he himself went to check the traps and traps he had set before.
I have been busy today and haven't watched it yet.
He first went to the trap and took a look around. This time his luck was not good and he didn't catch any prey. However, he happened to see a pheasant in the bushes. After the pheasant noticed his movement, it was about to flee in a hurry.
Gao Mingcheng looked around. The pheasant was hiding in the dense bushes, making it difficult for him to catch up. But seeing the prey right in front of him, he felt reluctant to give up.
So he picked up some stones on the ground and threw them at the place where the pheasant was.
One, two, three times.
He threw the stones accurately and with great force, but two of the stones were blocked by branches, and only one stone hit the pheasant on the head, causing the pheasant to fall to the ground.
"Hey." Gao Mingcheng grinned, pushed aside the bushes with his hands, then bent down to pick up the pheasant. The pheasant was not big, but its feathers were exceptionally beautiful. Looking at the gorgeous feathers, he thought he could leave them for Xuanyuemei to make a shuttlecock to play with.
Kicking shuttlecock and skipping rope are games that children often play. Xuanyuemei has been good at kicking shuttlecock since she was a child. She can kick for a long time without the shuttlecock falling to the ground. She can also kick in many different ways. In fact, Xuanyuemei was a celebrity in elementary school.
As the cultural and entertainment committee member, she is not only beautiful, but also sings well. She is also very good at games such as shuttlecock kicking and rope skipping.
