Chapter 153 Too Outrageous
"Where on earth is she fooling around?"
Facing Diao's harsh questioning, Shen Mingqiu stammered and could not answer.
I secretly groaned in my heart.
Why did you come back today?
Ever since Chen Chunxing left, everyone in the family has been busy with their own work.
Shen Zhixia had to go on a medical visit with Doctor Chang, so Lao Wang was drafted into labor and was responsible for driving the ox cart to take the two of them to the city, while Lao Song buried himself in the kiln every day.
Only Shen Mingqiu had nothing serious to do.
So.
The task of cooking fell on him, and Xiao Lao Si and Wu Qing also hung on his lap.
I don’t do much every day, but I often feel overwhelmed by my busy schedule.
He didn't have Wu Min's patience, and it was really hard for him to control the urge to spank the little fourth child who could write the word "冬" as "叉一一"!
Who would have thought.
Early this morning, just as Shen Mingqiu released the turbid air in his chest, Diao opened the door and walked in.
He quietly moved his feet to block the little fourth child who was squatting in the corner, hugging his buttocks...
In fact, Diao Shi didn't have the energy to pay attention to other things at the moment. Her imagination alone was enough to make her drink a pot. Suddenly she took a breath and said, "Could it be that your eldest sister eloped with Xiao Xue?"
This is outrageous.
Even Wu Qing, who was sitting under the windowsill with a peaceful look on his face, couldn't help but look sideways.
Shen Mingqiu opened his mouth, finally finding his voice, and tremblingly said, "Although I did go to find him, it can't be considered as eloping... Maybe in a few days, my eldest sister should be back... right?"
There was a hint of hesitation in the last words.
Wu Qing immediately turned his gaze towards Shen Mingqiu.
Although he usually hangs out with Chen Yandong, he is not stupid and can hear the hidden meaning in those words.
What does “not being able to meet the criteria” mean?
Brother Xue, do you know that you are digging a hole here?
really.
Upon hearing this, Diao was furious and started cursing, "You stupid girl! You talk nice things, but you're just in a hurry to get married... If she really liked Xiao Xue, could I have broken them up? Why did you have to do this?"
"Wait until she comes back and see how I deal with her!"
“…”
"Your sister can't not come back, right? Even if she doesn't want you, she can't leave an old woman like me..."
Shen Mingqiu was so confused that his head hurt. It took him a long time to react. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the silly smile on Wu Qing's face, and his eyelids twitched inexplicably.
Before I could sense what was happening, I heard someone shouting outside the yard.
"Village Chief, Village Chief Shen! Does Village Chief Shen live here?"
"I've been in the village for almost half a month now. I agreed to be a teacher, so you guys should at least give me a few students, right?"
"Is there anyone who can take charge?"
Diao suppressed all her complaints, glared at Chen Mingqiu, and walked out.
There's no need to ask, it must be the eldest girl who caused her trouble again!
No one else would dare to come up with this idea.
——
A few days later.
After everything that needed to be dealt with was done, Diao wanted to go to the county town with a few people.
Even if the eldest girl didn't come back, Xiao Xue wouldn't be able to escape from the temple, right? She had to go and guard it, and only when she saw the eldest girl with her own eyes could she feel at ease.
No one dared to dissuade the old lady from making her decision.
There is nothing more to say to persuade him.
When Chen Chunxing left, he really didn't say where he was going. After so many days, not to mention Diao, they were also worried.
As soon as we arrived at the village entrance, we saw a large black mass coming from afar.
Everyone was surprised.
"Could it be that there is a new person here?"
The narrow village was usually used to house fugitives. Although there were already twenty or thirty households living there, it still seemed a little empty compared to some larger villages.
Diao's heart skipped a beat and she cried out that the dish was ruined.
How will the business in the village continue if these people come? We didn’t take them into account before!
Don't cause any more conflicts over this...
It's fine that the eldest girl eloped with Xiao Xue, but why did she take Yang Yi with her? Now she can't even find a reliable helper, which makes her feel depressed!
Just as I was feeling anxious, I suddenly heard villagers shouting.
"Wait, that person on the horse looks like Magistrate Xue?"
"Yes, it's him!"
"Isn't that Chun girl sitting in the back?"
Diao took a closer look and slapped her thigh hard, that's right!
The two of them are back again!
She just showed a hint of joy on her face, but then she felt that she shouldn't show a good expression, so she quickly suppressed it. When she got closer and looked around the two of them, her expression became strange again, neither up nor down, and it was so ugly.
Chen Chunxing took the initiative and asked, "Grandma, do you want to scold me?"
Diao: “…”
She didn't want to curse, she wanted to start fighting!
Chen Chunxing pointed behind him and said, "Look at these young, pitiful, and helpless children. Are you going to beat up a hero who saved them from danger in front of them?"
The children had dull expressions, except for Ah Jiu who cooperated by squeezing out two tears.
Veins popped out of Diao's forehead. After enduring for a while, she waved her hand and asked Lao Wang to take the children in to find a place to stay.
After the people gathered at the village entrance had dispersed, Diao poked Chen Chunxing's forehead and cursed:
"Are you addicted to picking up people? Why don't you pick up a royal relative for me? Every time you pick one up, they're just a burden!"
In the past, they just picked them up one by one, but this time, they directly pulled two carts!
"I wish I could crack your head open and see if there's a giant Buddha squatting inside!"
"..." Chen Chunxing was surprised, "You know this whole story! Could it be that you also traveled through time?"
Diao was about to poke a hole in her forehead. "What are you wearing? What else do you want to wear? With so many children coming back, Qing will have to wear sacks as clothes in the future!"
“…”
The old lady is really interesting.
Chen Chunxing pointed ahead awkwardly, "Don't just look after the children. Aren't there three or four hundred strong laborers there?"
The bandits were as quiet as chickens, silently following Wang Youcai into the village. Without any instructions, they spontaneously went to look for the dilapidated houses.
"Strong laborer? How strong?"
"I get up earlier than a chicken, sleep later than a dog, eat worse than a pig, and work harder than a donkey...so strong, right?"
Diao's expression changed instantly, and she said with a sneer, "So you were just trying to trick me... ahem, you're now doing serious work. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Look how thin my eldest daughter is. Hurry up, go home! Grandma will make you some braised pork!"
“…”
Well, let’s not go to the county town today.
The group turned around and walked back.
Suddenly, a childish voice sounded weakly: "Can't we eat Maoxuewang?"
Diao looked down and found that a child had slipped over and was hiding behind Yang Yi, following him closely like a little tail.
The bad-tempered fat cat at home was staying in the child's arms obediently. Because it was too fat, several layers of flesh were squeezed out of its neck.
The child was too thin and the orange cat was too fat, so the hugging posture didn't look very comfortable, but the cat surprisingly didn't stretch out its claws.
Diao was amazed. If this baby was good-looking, even animals would be attracted by his face!
She asked Chen Chunxing curiously, "What is Maoxuewang?"
It sounded like a lie that only a grown-up girl would come up with.
“It’s duck blood…”
