As soon as Chen Ye opened the door to Ershuang's house, he heard someone behind him ask, "Who are you? You don't live here, do you?"
When Chen Ye turned around, she saw an old lady staring at her curiously. Why was that look like she was looking at a thief?
Chen Ye had actually seen this old lady before. She was the old lady who lived next door to Ershuang's family.
The old lady was very thin. Nowadays there aren't many people who look wealthy, but although this old lady's face was full of wrinkles, she didn't look mean-spirited.
Chen Ye smiled, showing his small white teeth: "Yes, I don't live here, I'm Ershuang's friend. He's at work, so he let me come here by myself."
The old lady squinted her eyes and looked at Chen Ye. She seemed to have seen this boy before, but she couldn't remember when. He just looked familiar. She glanced at the bulging bags in Chen Ye's car.
If this person is a thief, he will not give gifts to the person he wants to steal from, right?
Being stared at by an old lady like that made Chen Ye a little nervous. What was going on? Was he really being mistaken for a thief?
Is there such a brazen thief who would steal things in broad daylight? Didn't she have a key in her hand?
The old lady looked at Chen Ye for a long time before nodding: "Okay, you go in." At most, she would pay more attention to him. If this person dragged something away later, she could just call out.
Chen Ye...
Why does it sound like the door she opened belongs to an old lady?
"Then Auntie, I'll let you go in first."
Chen Ye was stared at by the old lady as she entered Ershuang's house. After entering, Chen Ye quickly closed the door. It was the first time that someone stared at her like a thief.
After opening the lock on Ershuang's door, Chen Ye went directly to the room where she had rested before. She immediately saw the bedding stored in the room. She didn't expect that Ershuang could actually bring back so many beddings at once.
These beddings are all old, and I plan to go back and sort them out and give them to the people coming from the cowshed. They don't like new ones, so these are just right. Even if someone comes to check, they won't be too conspicuous.
Well, there's no need to rest, just load the car directly. Chen Ye just came out with a quilt and put it in the car, and when she looked up, she saw a head appear on the wall next to Ershuang's house, staring at her.
She was so caught off guard that she almost got scared. Did this old lady really think she was a thief?
No, let's just say that the thief can bring keys to steal things. The key to the front door is one thing, she has the keys to all the doors inside the house, so the old lady won't be suspicious.
The old lady squinted her small eyes and stared at Chen Ye from head to toe with a serious face. Not to mention, she looked quite imposing.
"Auntie, is there something wrong?" The house next door is not the old lady's home, and the old lady has taken the trouble to keep an eye on her.
The old lady didn't feel guilty at all because she was discovered: "Why did you take out all the bedding?" Fortunately, she was watching. If she hadn't been watching, Ershuang's house would have been emptied out in a short time.
Chen Ye pointed at the bedding in the car: "Are you talking about this?"
"Yes, why are you planning to take away someone's bedding when you visit them?" The old lady was wondering if her fighting ability could deal with the thief in the next yard.
I wonder if the police station will reward her if she catches this thief alone. It doesn’t have to be much, just an enamel teacup will be enough. Wouldn’t she be so proud?
The old lady looked around, trying to find a weapon that was handy.
Chen Ye had no idea that an old lady had so much on her mind: "This is my old quilt that I asked Ershuang to replace. My family is from the countryside, and I can't save enough for a bed quilt even in a year."
"It just so happens that the guesthouse is about to replace a batch of them, so I thought of taking some back. When the time comes, I can take them apart and refill the cotton inside. That would be great for me."
Chen Ye patiently explained to the old lady. She had to explain. People at this time were too enthusiastic. If the old lady started to make a fuss, more people would come over and it would be difficult to explain everything to her.
What Chen Ye said was true. In the countryside, invoices were not issued every month. Even cotton cloth required invoices. It would be impossible to save enough for a quilt even after a whole year.
"Ah, how come I didn't know about this?" The old lady didn't believe it.
Normally, nothing happening in the county could be hidden from people like them, so how could she not know about this? If she knew, she would definitely go and change her bedding.
It is a bit old, but if you refurbish it, it will be as warm as good cotton. It is better than the cotton that has been used at home for decades.
Chen Ye...
The question you are asking is, how do I know that you don’t know about this? Besides, what kind of thing happened at the reception that you have to make such a fuss?
Chen Ye could only smile dryly. She had no way of responding to this question. This was the first time she had spoken to the old lady. "Do you have anything else to say?"
Can you please come down from the wall if you are okay? How can you be so brave at your age? If I were really a thief, I would deal with you first. Can your old arms and legs withstand my blow?
old lady……
So I'm asking, am I in trouble or not? Looking at this guy, it seems that he is not a thief, but the problem is that she has never heard of what he said. What if he is fooling her?
"Hey, young man, do you have any extra quilts?"
Chen Ye knew what the old lady was up to without her having to say anything: "Really? This isn't enough. I was thinking of asking you if there's any place I can exchange this old quilt for."
The old lady immediately refused: "If I could change it, would I still ask you?" This brat wanted to take advantage of her, what was he thinking?
"Okay, just go about your business." Since she couldn't get any advantage, she gave up the idea.
To say that she is very warm-hearted and caring about Ershuang, of course she is not. It was just that some time ago, an old lady from the neighboring house who usually did not get along with her was praised by the factory and was given a towel.
That guy was showing off to that person. He would show off every time he saw her, which made the old lady angry. Today, when he saw Chen Ye, he felt that his chance to be praised had come, so he took it more seriously.
What if, what if she guessed right, then she would be more glorious than her old rival.
Chen Ye had no idea that the old lady had so many thoughts in her mind. She was still hesitating whether to move out the remaining bedding, fearing that if she moved out too many, the old lady would insist on getting one or two sets. She couldn't bear to do that.
These old ladies are so difficult to deal with. You can't reason with them, and they like to use their age to act unreasonable. She hates dealing with these old ladies the most.
Both of them were thinking about their own things and just looked at each other without moving.
