Chapter 38 Xie Yunshu's Tragic Life
She loved listening to stories the most. Every time her internal organs were being hollowed out on the experimental table, San San would tell her stories to distract her and relieve the pain.
Over time, I fell in love with listening to stories!
Although Xie Yunshu is described in the plot, it is ambiguous and vague, and the perspective is all about describing how Bai Jiao is spoiled in various ways and mindlessly by her husband and brothers.
When Mr. Qi turned around, he met his granddaughter's expectant eyes. He choked up, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said:
"Xiao Xie's father couldn't bear the blow and died at home. His concubines also ran away and scattered. Xiao Xie and his mother were left alone in the huge Xie family. They were pitiful."
Qi Man's little head was like pounding garlic into paste, it was really miserable.
So when Xie Yunshu gives her something in the future, will she accept it or not?
After chatting, Qi Man started to prepare dinner.
Throw the dead pheasant that Xie Yunshu sent this morning into the space and let the depilatory artifact in the villa take action. The other living one is kept in the chicken coop.
Then he washed the rice while wearing gloves. Qi Man had a big appetite and could eat as much as two people.
Dinner was a big, greasy roast chicken, a Codonopsis and pork bone soup, and some green vegetables. It was another hearty meal.
After eating and drinking, it’s time to visit my third uncle’s house.
The grandfather and grandson ate most of the roast chicken, and Qi Man was waiting to deliver the remaining half to Xie Yunshu on the way to his uncle's house.
After tidying up the yard and boiling some water for Grandpa Qi, Qi Man went out.
He carried a small bamboo basket across his hand, put the roasted chicken in it and covered it with a piece of cloth. After all, eating a piece of meat would attract attention these days.
At this time, the villagers had finished their work for the day and went home, and the same was true for Qi Laosan's family.
As the sun sets, Qi Man is holding a small bamboo basket in her hands. She is wearing a brown dress and small leather shoes. Her shiny black hair is draped behind her ears. She looks exceptionally beautiful and seems somewhat out of place with the villagers who are returning from the fields covered in mud.
Such a youthful and beautiful Qi Man made many young people who were just beginning to fall in love stunned.
The girls raised abroad are really delicate and fair, looking like fairies from heaven!
A group of little girls who disliked Qi Man were so jealous that their eyes turned red and they kept cursing at her from time to time.
"Bitch, you dress so fancy all day long, but I don't know which guy you are trying to seduce!"
"That's right. There is no other girl in the village like her. She doesn't have to work, and yet she dresses up so beautifully every day."
…
Some are jealous, some are envious.
I envy Qi Man’s freedom in dressing herself and her many little dresses.
Most of the young girls in the village wear the same clothes for several years, or wear clothes that their brothers and sisters can no longer wear, and then they can wear them for another three or four years after some alterations. They are nothing like Qi Man, who wears different clothes every day and each piece is extremely beautiful.
On the way to Qi Laosan's house, Qi Man happened to pass by Xie Yunshu's house, and she happened to see Xie's mother hanging clothes outside.
Qi Man was holding a small basket, tilted her head, and asked softly:
"Aunt, is Comrade Xie at home?"
Mother Xie hung the hanger in her hand on the rack, and turned around to see a delicate and pretty little girl standing beside her obediently with a small bamboo basket in her hand. She had a soft voice, a pair of big eyes, and was as delicate as a doll.
She recognized that the girl was Qi Man, who had been very popular in the village recently.
Perhaps only Qi Man could dress so beautifully. Even Bai Jiao, who is held at the top of everyone's heart, cannot have such good conditions.
I thought of the box of donkey-hide gelatin that my son brought back just now. I heard that a box of donkey-hide gelatin is very expensive, comparable to ginseng.
The son even emphasized that this was given to her by the girl because she knew that she had poor blood circulation. Just based on this fact, Xie's mother liked Qi Man even more and spoke in a much more enthusiastic tone:
"You are Manman, right? You are so pretty. Yunshu is taking a shower. Why don't you wait for him? He will be out soon!"
Qi Man shook her head, handed the bamboo basket in her hand to Xie's mother, and said softly:
"No need, auntie, my grandfather asked me to bring this here. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"
He waved politely and then turned and left.
Xie's mother originally wanted to invite the family to have dinner at her home, but she thought it was unreasonable and hesitated to speak. As a result, in the blink of an eye, the family left.
Her nose twitched slightly, and she could smell the fragrance wafting out from the bamboo basket. Mother Xie lifted a corner and saw half a golden, crispy, juicy roast chicken in the basket, with the sweet smell of honey.
Ouch! This girl from the Qi family is really thoughtful. Every household is living in poverty now, so who would be willing to send meat? Maybe the little girl is attracted to Yun Shu because he is good-looking?
Thinking of this, Xie's mother felt so happy that her heart was bubbling with joy. If Qi Man could become her daughter-in-law, she would wake up laughing in her dreams.
Without even hanging up the clothes, he carried the bucket into the house, closed the door, put the basket on the table, and just in time ran into Xie Yunshu who came out of the room.
Xie Yunshu had just finished taking a shower, and his hair was still a little wet. His eyes fell on the bamboo basket on the table, and he asked in confusion:
"Where's the basket?"
There is no such delicate and small bamboo basket at home.
Mother Xie's old face was full of smiles. She lifted the top layer of cloth and said happily:
"This was sent by the granddaughter of the Qi family."
When he heard that it was Qi Man who sent it, Xie Yunshu took a long step and walked out of the house, but he didn't see any shadow of his sweetheart.
Mother Xie was an experienced person. In addition, Xie Yunshu was a loner, so few people would think of him like that. She could tell at a glance that her son was interested in the little girl. She brought out the roast chicken and said cheerfully:
"I guess that little girl might be interested in you, otherwise why would she send you half a roast chicken for no reason? Who wouldn't eat the meat themselves if they have it?"
Xie Yunshu pursed his lips, thinking of Qi Man's clear eyes, and responded lightly:
"I'm not worthy of her. Besides, I gave two pheasants to the Qi family. It's normal for us to return gifts."
Xie's mother: ...
have to!
Is it just a waste of time?
She asked why her son had brought back fewer prey recently, and it turned out that he had given them away. It seemed that her son was in love with her unrequitedly.
"How can you still talk about whether you are compatible with someone these days? Love is free. If you really like someone, just take the initiative. After a while, they will start to care about you, right? You are so stupid, you are not even close to your father."
Xie's mother complained as she brought out the roast chicken.
"I'll wash the basket tonight and you'll return it to the owner tomorrow, okay?"
Xie Yunshu's eyes fell on the bamboo basket and he nodded suspiciously.
Knock knock knock——
"Third Uncle!"
