Chapter 24 Picking up wild goods



In this adultery incident, Wei Qingfeng looked like a person watching from the sidelines, but in fact, it was he who set up the trap from the very beginning.

Not only did the eldest brother not know where the second and third wives' malice towards their first wife came from, but he, who often interacted with them, also didn't know either, as the three families had such a good relationship in the past.

His father was the eldest son, his grandparents died early, and he had raised his second and third uncles alone since they were young, built them houses, and married them off. What had they done wrong to make them want to kill their entire family? He still couldn't figure out what their eldest son had done to make his second and third uncles hate his family so deeply.

He couldn't find any evidence that his parents were in trouble, so he couldn't blame them. However, they had watched Wei Ci grow up. Even though they knew that she was the life of his parents, they still harmed her without hesitation and refused to admit it afterwards.

"Don't worry, I will take this matter to my grave and won't tell anyone."

Widow Jiao glanced at the young man in front of her. While feeling sorry for his precocity, she couldn't help but give him a promise.

Wei Qingfeng sneered, glanced in the direction of the second and third houses, and said in a stern tone:

"It doesn't matter if they know. They don't have any evidence, right?"

It wasn't him who forced them to look for the widow. He just wanted to find an opportunity for them to meet each other. They became enemies because of a woman. It was a pity that the people in the village were more protective of them and didn't let them be arrested for hooliganism because of promiscuous relationships.

But there is no need to rush, there is still plenty of time, plenty of time to play slowly.

Early in the morning, Wei Ci had just come out of the space, her head still slightly damp, her little face as white and rosy as a peach. She had taken a comfortable hot spring bath early in the morning, and she felt so relaxed.

Wei Ci twitched her nose and followed the scent into the kitchen. A tall boy wearing an apron was making breakfast, with a little flour on his face.

Hearing the noise, Wei Qingfeng turned around, and his brows softened when he saw Wei Ci:

"Are you up? Just in time for dinner. I'm going to the mountains to pick up local produce today. I made some dry food to take with me. We won't be back until lunch."

Before dawn, Wei Qiang knocked on the door to urge him to get up. He had just gone to bed in the early hours of the morning and almost chopped him to death with a kitchen knife. In the end, he was so annoyed by him that he had no choice but to get up, cook, and pack the things he needed.

Speak of the devil, and he appears. The brother and sister were eating when Wei Qiang came over excitedly pushing a unicycle, followed by two little tails.

"Wei Qingfeng! Are you okay? Is sister Wei Ci up yet... eh? She's eating!"

The two girls behind Wei Qiang, carrying baskets, quietly stuck their heads out to look at Wei Ci. At that moment, Wei Ci felt that their eyes were surprisingly bright.

Wei Yang pushed his brother aside and shyly ran to Wei Ci, handing the contents of the basket to her. His voice was crisp but cautious:

"Xiao Ci, do you still recognize me? I'm Wei Yang, your second grandmother's eldest granddaughter. I used to hold your hand and play with you when we were little!"

But later, Wei Ci almost got into trouble, and her uncle rarely let her go out, so her friends who liked to play with her when they were young naturally saw her less often.

Wei Ci was a little surprised. Looking at the thing handed to her, she didn't know whether she should accept it or not. She turned to look at Wei Qingfeng, her face a little helpless.

Wei Qingfeng rubbed her head and signaled her to accept it.

"This is Wei Yang. Her mother is the village women's director, and her second aunt is Aunt Hua, whom you met yesterday."

Wei Ci understood, took the things, thanked her, and smiled at her, which immediately stunned Wei Yangxiao. She unconsciously used a little force to hold the basket.

Oh my god, Wei Ci had red lips and white teeth when she was a child, why does she seem to be even more beautiful now that she has grown up!

"Thank you. What is this?"

Wei Yang came back to her senses and swallowed nervously. How could she never have known that her legs would go weak when she saw a beautiful woman?

"This is a lantern fruit. It's delicious."

Wei Qiang couldn't bear to look at this useless sister, so he reached out and took the last piece of cake from the plate on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, then smiled foolishly at Wei Qingfeng who was glaring at him:

"It looks delicious. Let me give you a taste."

Wei Qingfeng rolled his eyes at him. They were almost done with their meal, so why did they need someone to taste it? He was greedy, and no one would say anything to him.

Looking at the other girl, Wei Qingfeng raised his eyebrows. Why was she here? He didn't remember when this girl came to play with them.

"Weiman?"

The girl, who had always been aloof, heard someone calling her name, glanced at Wei Qingfeng, and snorted to show that she was paying attention.

Wei Qingfeng laughed, why is he still like this?

Wei Yang then remembered that he had a little sister following him, and quickly pulled Wei Man to his side, pointing at her and introducing her to Wei Ci:

"Xiao Ci, her name is Wei Man, she's Uncle Jue's daughter, she's only one year older than you, you can call her sister."

Wei Ci turned her head and met Wei Man's gaze, nodding and smiling politely. Before she could say anything, she saw Wei Man's earlobes begin to turn red little by little, and finally spread to her neck and cheeks.

Wei Ci was a little surprised, then her eyes curved and she smiled brightly:

"Sister Wei Man, I'm Wei Ci, Wei Qingfeng's younger sister."

Wei Man coughed uncomfortably under her clear gaze, and almost stuttered when he spoke:

"I know."

Three words, simple and clear, no nonsense at all, the scene suddenly became quiet, Wei Man's heart tightened and she almost bit her tongue.

It's over, it's over. This little sister wouldn't think she hated her, would she? She felt a little annoyed. Why couldn't she speak at the crucial moment?

The little hand was held by a soft and smooth hand, and the next second, two pieces of toffee with rabbit heads on them appeared in the palm of her hand. She looked up in surprise, and saw the soft and sweet smile of the little girl. At that moment, Wei Man felt that the gods in heaven should look like her, which was dazzling.

"Please have some candy."

Wei Man and Wei Yang looked at each other embarrassedly, feeling that the gifts they brought seemed a little light. They secretly decided in their hearts that they would bring her the best food from their home next time.

"Three female comrades! Let's go, hurry up!"

Wei Qiang, who had just finished cleaning up the dishes and was forced by Wei Qingfeng to do so because he had stolen a piece of cake, felt as if his butt was on fire. He came out with a lot of crackling and clanging sounds, and started rushing around in all directions with his cart like a wild donkey on the loose.

Wei Qingfeng held his forehead and sighed, wondering how this guy had grown up safely to the age of seventeen without being beaten to death.

After picking up their things and locking the door, they chatted and laughed as they turned and walked towards the foot of the mountain on the other side of the slope. Wei Ci withdrew his gaze from the corner, exchanged a glance with his second brother, and pretended not to care before following him as they left.

Behind the big tree, Wei Qingmiao still had gauze wrapped on his head, but his eyes were fixed on the brother and sister who were walking away, with surprise and determination in his eyes.

The wild ginseng can only be hers!
