When Qin Xueqiong heard her daughter's words, she started digging too. The two children followed suit and came to help. However, Xiaoyan was too young to dig at all. She ran off to play while digging.
Seeing this, Tang Xiaorou couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xiaoliang, don't dig, just look after your sister."
"good."
께梁 was also worried about his sister, so he went to 깊's side to look after her.
After Tang Xiaorou and Qin Xueqiong finished digging the hole, they carried their two children upstairs.
"I...I can go by myself."
Hearing what Xiaoliang said, Tang Xiaorou smiled and said, "I know, but we have to walk a lot today, and you will definitely be tired if you walk too much, so I will carry you for a while, and then let you walk by yourselves."
Soon Tang Xiaorou discovered several other herbs such as Tianqi and Qiong. After digging them up, she prepared to go back. "Mom, there are no herbs nearby. Let's go back first."
Qin Xueqiong looked at where they were and said, "I remember there are a few wild grape vines nearby. Why don't we go over and take a look?"
"OK."
Nowadays, we can rarely eat fruit, but if we can pick a few bunches of wild grapes, that's good.
"Let's go, just ahead."
Not long after they walked, they saw a few wild grape vines with a few bunches of dark purple grapes hanging sparsely on them. "We are lucky, there are still a few bunches left." As she spoke, Qin Xueqiong had already picked all the bunches of wild grapes and put them in her backpack. "Xiao Rou, let's go back now."
"good."
But just as she turned around, Tang Xiaorou saw a familiar medicinal herb, "Mom, wait."
Seeing her daughter digging up another herb, Qin Xueqiong asked curiously, "What is this?"
"This is Aconitum. If you control the dosage, it will be of little use."
Tang Xiaorou didn't expect to find Aconitum here. She looked around and found nothing else to dig, so she went down the mountain with her mother.
"Mom, is that Old Man Tang?"
Qin Xueqiong looked over when she heard this, then nodded and said, "Yes, it's really him."
Seeing the other party's sneaky look, Tang Xiaorou couldn't help but look at Qin Xueqiong and said, "Mom, you take the two children back first, I'll go over and take a look."
"good."
Tang Xiaorou quietly followed Old Man Tang and saw him looking around. After making sure that there was no one around, he walked to the end of the village.
Seeing Old Man Tang like this, Tang Xiaorou felt puzzled and continued to follow him. As far as she knew, there was nothing at the end of the village except for two families living there. She didn't know where Old Man Tang was going.
The two of them walked one after the other and soon arrived at the end of the village, and Old Man Tang quickly went into one of the houses in the village.
"Strange, isn't that Widow Xia's home?"
Widow Xia became a widow at a young age, and never remarried. She went to school and lived alone, slowly wasting time until she is now this age.
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaorou quietly moved over, hid in the dark, and observed every move of Old Man Tang.
After entering Widow Xia's house, Old Man Tang went straight into the house and closed the door.
"Heh... I don't know what they are doing behind closed doors."
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Tang Xiaorou squatted directly under the window and listened to the noise inside.
"You old fellow, why did you come here just today?"
Widow Xia looked at Old Man Tang in front of her with an unhappy face.
But Old Man Tang said in a rare gentle voice: "There has been a lot of noise at home these past two days, so I haven't had the chance to come over. I'll come over as soon as I find the chance. Do you miss me?"
"Huh, who misses you, an old thing?" Widow Xia rolled her eyes, but still stepped forward and hugged Old Man Tang's neck, pressing her whole body against him.
When Tang Xiaorou heard this, she stood there in shock. She never expected that the usually serious old man Tang was actually having an affair with the village widow Xia.
This...when did these two get together?
Soon, an embarrassing voice came from the house. Tang Xiaorou felt that she was at a loss for words. She could not believe that Old Man Tang and Widow Xia, both of them were so old, could still do such a thing. Soon she lost interest in listening any more. When she was about to leave, Widow Xia suddenly said something that made her stop in her tracks.
"Old Tang, I heard that your granddaughter got married to a strange man. She definitely can't marry Yang Zhu in exchange for a betrothal gift. What about Xiangdong's marriage?"
"Don't worry, there will always be a way." Old Man Tang said, and his hands began to get naughty again.
"You say that every time!"
Widow Xia scolded, "Then you better think of a solution quickly. I don't want Xiangdong to be single."
When Tang Xiaorou heard this, she frowned. What did Tang Xiangdong being a bachelor have to do with Widow Xia? Why did she care so much? She had a hunch that there was something fishy going on, so she continued to squat under the window, wanting to listen to what Old Man Tang and Widow Xia were talking about.
"Don't worry, Xiangdong will definitely not be single. Even if I don't have the betrothal gift from Tang Yuya, I will find a way to find a wife for Xiangdong."
Hearing this, Widow Xia was finally relieved. Then she snorted coldly and said, "It's all your old woman's fault. She originally said that Tang Xiaoya would marry Yang Xiaozhu, but in the end, something that was set in stone was ruined. I'm really angry."
"You can't blame the old woman for this. Even I didn't expect Qin Xueqiong to be so bold as to steal the household register."
Widow Xia snorted coldly, "I don't care. The most important thing now is to find Xiangdong a wife. I have already found a good family. When the time comes, I will let the matchmaker go to the girl's house to propose marriage." At the end, she continued to complain, "I was not satisfied when Jianhua got married. This time, Xiangdong's marriage must be arranged by me, otherwise I will not agree."
"Okay, okay, I'll let you do whatever you want."
Widow Xia glanced at Old Man Tang and said, "You sound nice. Jianhua is obviously my biological son, but I have no say in his marriage. I even liked Hongmei from the next village back then, but in the end Jianhua ended up marrying Li Cuilan." Speaking of this, she still feels angry.
Old Man Tang sighed when he heard this and said, "Okay, this happened many years ago. Anyway, I'll let you take care of Xiangdong's marriage."
The two people inside were still talking in a babble, but Tang Xiaorou outside the window felt as if thunder was rolling. Tang Jianhua, the eldest son of the Tang family, was not the son of Old Lady Tang, but the son of Widow Xia. What was going on? Could it be that the child born by Old Lady Tang was swapped by Old Man Tang and Widow Xia?
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaorou clenched her fists and left quietly.
