Chapter 242 Arranging CP (Additional Update)
"But I also said that these shoes are not made specifically for these two brats. I just had nothing to do and didn't know what to do. I didn't even compare the appearance of the shoes. I made them casually. If they are too big or too small, don't come to me again."
"Yes, yes, I got it." Zhuang Qingning put the shoes away with a smile.
On one hand, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
People say that people with a sharp tongue but a soft heart are referring to people like Wen.
"By the way, the old head of the village has been working on some bean seeds recently. I think they are quite good. Was this your idea behind the scenes?" Wen asked.
"Are you a man with a sharp eye?"
Zhuang Qingning smiled.
"I don't have any sharp eyes, I just think Zhuang Jingye is a man who loves to show off, but he is not a smart man. He actually stuck his head out to do this this time. It must be because there is someone behind him. You are the only one in the village who cares about beans."
Mrs. Wen curled her lips and said, "Your bean seed matter reminded me that I still have a few acres of land at home. I am too old to work, so I will let the Wencheng family farm it for the time being. They just pay me rent every year."
"I'm telling you this just to ask you if you are willing to cultivate these acres of land. If you are willing, you can take it back and cultivate it for your family. The rent can be paid in the form of tofu."
"It's just that I can't collect rent from these few acres of land. Wang is smart and pays less rent every year. She said the harvest is not good. I am old, not blind. I can't see what the crops look like. It's just that Wencheng is a filial child, so I turned a blind eye and didn't say much."
"I see that Wang's family doesn't plan to plant more beans on their land this time. It looks like they don't plan to plant new beans. If you want new beans, I'll take the land back and you can plant it."
For ordinary farmers, land is the most important thing. No matter what time it is, having land means hope, and it is the last support for people's survival.
Wen's intention was that when Zhuang Qingning encountered any problems, she would have something to support her and someone to rely on.
"I understand what you mean, Auntie. I also thank you for thinking of me." Zhuang Qingning looked grateful and smiled at Wen. "I understand Auntie's good intentions, but I'm busy with the tofu shop now. I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything else in the short term. If these acres of land were given to me, I probably wouldn't be able to take good care of them. It would be a waste of time."
"Besides, my aunt originally gave the crops to Brother Wencheng's family, but suddenly gave them to me. I'm afraid Brother Wencheng's family will be in a turmoil..."
"Am I afraid of Wang? People like her can be dealt with in a few words. She is not good at quarreling. She doesn't have the courage to hang around with me here." Wen curled her lips, her face full of disdain.
"If she dares to go to your place and talk too much, don't be polite to her. Just greet her as you should. Don't worry about the affairs of the villagers. Some people, the more you give them face, the more they will take advantage of you."
Wen's words sounded indignant, and it was obvious that she was dissatisfied with Wang on a daily basis.
This made Zhuang Qingning purse her lips and said, "Of course, it's not that Aunt Wang can do anything to you, Auntie. Even so, she can't do anything to me. I'm only concerned about Brother Wencheng. If the time comes, I'll be caught between you and Aunt Wang, and it will be difficult for both sides."
"Aunt, you usually care about Brother Wencheng the most. I'm afraid you don't want him to suffer too much. You have been pampering Wang Shi for so many years, probably because of this."
"You are a child who has considered everything and seen things clearly." Mrs. Wen reached out and tapped Zhuang Qingning on the forehead: "It's hard for you. After so many years, you still remember that Wencheng took good care of you in the past."
"It is said that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring. I cannot repay a spring, but I must at least repay a drop of water. Only then will I feel at peace." Zhuang Qingning chuckled.
"Is it really just about repaying a favor?" Mrs. Wen squinted her eyes.
"That's natural, what else is there?"
Zhuang Qingning looked at Wen with some surprise.
"Speaking of which, Wencheng seems to be a friendly person, but he is always looking down on others. He has been unwilling to play with ordinary children since he was a child, but he is quite caring towards you. Have you ever thought about the reason?"
Wen's eyes narrowed even more, her face full of mischief: "Although they have the same name and are descended from the same ancestor, they are already five generations apart, so it is in accordance with the rules, and others can't say anything."
"In my opinion, you and Wencheng are a perfect match in appearance, and your personalities are both filial and sensible..."
"Aunt, please stop making a fuss." Zhuang Qingning stood up and said, "What does this have to do with anything? I'm just a kid, why would I think about this? Besides, I've always treated Brother Wencheng as my brother, and never thought about anything else."
"This little girl gets shy when this matter is mentioned. I understand..."
"That Aunt Wang is also very powerful. Although I am not afraid of her, I don't want to live with her in such a chaotic life."
"That's okay. Wencheng will definitely protect you. If all else fails, let me, an old woman, take over and see what trouble she dares to cause!"
"But I really don't have that intention towards Brother Wencheng, so please don't try to persuade me, Auntie."
"Marriage is always arranged by parents and matchmakers. Isn't it that after marriage, the couple starts to support each other and develop feelings for each other? How can you really fall in love with each other at first sight?"
“…”
Well, she must have gotten into some trouble recently. People around her are either trying to persuade her to get married or directly matchmaking her. Even a certain Five had a crappy thing called a marriage stone.
Is this the rhythm of not giving up until she finds a CP? I guess it’s because two peach trees were moved to the new house recently. I originally thought that I could see peach blossoms all over the yard in spring and pick one or two sweet peaches to quench my thirst in summer, but I never thought that I would be doomed by peach blossoms so soon? No, no, I have to move the peach trees away quickly and replace them with apricot trees and plum trees to give myself some peace and quiet.
After arguing with Mrs. Wen for a long time, Zhuang Qingning simply used his trump card: "Aunt, if you are really messing around with couples, from now on, Mingliang will have to run this tofu shop, and I will never be able to step into this door again."
After saying that, he turned his face away and stopped talking to Wen.
"Look at you. You're an adult, but you're already angry after just a few words."
Mrs. Wen curled her lips and said, "Well, if you don't want me to say it, then I won't say it. Is that not okay with you?"
Anyway, there is still a long time to live, and Zhuang Qingning is not too old, so there is still time to bring the two together.
