The three of them chatted as they finished making a straw mat. By the time they were done, it was already dark.
Tao Wenwen and Gao Yue accompanied Zhou Dalian to take the straw mat and straw rope back to Zhou's house. Of course, they would not rush to take Zhou Dalian back home to sign.
Zhou Dalian is quite old and his eyesight is not good. It will probably take him until midnight to look at the contract and sign it.
The two of them agreed with him to sign the contract tomorrow, and then went home.
After Wang Xiaomin came back from the city, she went to the river with Xu Dahua to catch fish. She heard that there were many big fish in the river recently, and they were all wild. Wang Xiaomin wanted to catch some and bring them back to make soup for Tao Wenwen.
Seeing Tao Wenwen's haggard look recently, although Wang Xiaomin didn't ask much, her worry was evident in her words.
Xu Dahua is very experienced in catching fish. With her help, Wang Xiaomin had a good harvest. She caught some small fish for frying and two crucian carps for stewing fish soup. With a piece of tofu, it was really fresh and fragrant.
The other two big fish are marinated and I plan to cook them tomorrow.
Looking around, it was already dark, and Tao Wenwen had not returned home yet. Shi Wangting, who had returned home first, did not tell her where she had been, but just replied that he would be back soon.
Wang Xiaomin was worried, so she went to the door and waited. Then she saw two figures wandering towards her. She recognized Tao Wenwen's footsteps and called out, "Wenwen, why are you back so late?"
Tao Wenwen said, "I went to Uncle Zhou's house, so I came back late."
Smelling the aroma of fish, Tao Wenwen felt her hungry stomach and quickened her pace as she walked into the yard, asking, "What delicious food did Mom cook? I'm so hungry."
Before Wang Xiaomin could answer, she saw another figure coming over. She didn't dare to believe her eyes and thought that the moonlight must not be bright enough so she saw it wrong. She even rubbed her eyes.
She actually saw Gao Yue?
Then, Wang Xiaomin heard Gao Yue's voice, saying, "Auntie Min, it's me."
Wang Xiaomin was startled and asked in surprise, "Why are you here? And you came back with Wenwen!"
Gao Yue said honestly: "Aunt Min, I have lived here for a week."
Wang Xiaomin was so shocked that she was speechless.
Gao Yue continued: "Wen Wen's other partner is not Shu Wang Chai, but actually me."
Wang Xiaomin: ...What kind of bad fate is this?
Her Wenwen must be furious, right? Gao Yue had left so quietly, and now appeared in front of everyone without any warning. Did he think that the Tao family was just a temporary residence where he could come and go as he pleased?
Wang Xiaomin was just thinking about whether to grab a broom and sweep him out of the village, when she heard Tao Wenwen shouting in the house, "Mom, I'm so hungry."
"Hey, I'll be right there." Wang Xiaomin temporarily put Gao Yue behind her mind, went into the house, brought the dishes that were warm in the pot to the table, and when she looked up, she saw Gao Yue coming uninvited. Not only did he come into the house, he also sat next to Tao Wenwen.
That’s right, I was indeed sitting next to Tao Wenwen.
Wasn't he worried that Tao Wenwen would pick up the soup on the table and pour it directly on his head?
Wang Xiaomin looked at the fish soup on the table closest to Tao Wenwen and moved it further away.
It doesn't matter whether Gao Yue is disfigured or not. She has been stewing this soup for more than half an hour. It is thick and white. She wants to use it to reward her precious daughter. She can't let Gao Yue waste it!
Wang Xiaomin placed the fried fish in front of Tao Wenwen and said, "I caught this fish in the river with your Aunt Hua today. Your Aunt Hua taught me how to fry it. It's delicious. Try it. If you like it, Mom will catch more for you tomorrow!"
