"I wonder why you followed us all the way here, sir?"
Hua Qingcheng picked up a glass of water on the table and slowly put it into her mouth calmly. Her eyes fell squarely on her hands without even looking at Si Chengfeng.
"Miss, do you really not remember Si?"
Si Chengfeng looked at the calm woman in front of him, his cunning and shrewd fox eyes filled with doubts. Could it be that he really recognized the wrong person?
"Remember."
Hua Qingcheng gently placed the cup on the table and finally gave him a look.
"Just now at the entrance of the market, I accidentally bumped into you, sir."
Si Chengfeng almost vomited blood when he heard this. Is this what he was talking about?
"Are you from Huaqiao Village?"
"Indeed."
"Is the girl's name Hua Qingcheng?"
"Indeed. Could it be that we have met before?"
Hua Qingcheng glanced at the handsome man across from her again, her heart skipping a beat: Could it be that the original owner had incurred some romantic debt and was now facing a new fate? Glancing at Mu Lige, who had a sullen look on his face, Hua Qingcheng's heart tightened. No matter what the other party said next, she was afraid she would never admit it, even if she was beaten to death.
"Five days ago, in Huaqiao Village, in the warm pool deep in Pinglan Mountain, did you go there?"
Si Chengfeng continued to test it without giving up.
Hua Qingcheng's memory of the original owner is still a little confused, but after hearing Si Chengfeng's words, it seems that some not-so-nice memories were brought back.
In Huaqiao Village, there were rumors of tigers roaming deep within Pinglan Mountain, so most people wouldn't venture there unless it was something special. Five days ago, to avoid debt collection from the Changlefang gambling house, the original owner had indeed ventured deep into the inner mountains of Pinglan Mountain.
Growing up in Huaqiao Village, the original owner had never imagined there was a warm pool hidden within Pinglan Mountain. Even more astonishing was the discovery of a man as beautiful as a fallen immortal within the pool. Gazing at his handsome figure in the hot spring, the original owner was transfixed.
"Oh my god, I, Hua Qingcheng, am so blessed! Could this be the fifth husband God has given me?"
"Who? Who's there?"
Si Chengfeng, soaking in a warm pool to recuperate from a cold, suddenly heard a voice and looked toward the edge. He saw a woman with heavily made-up and a messy hairdo, lurking stealthily in the bushes, staring intently at him. Even more terrifying, she had a gaping maw, like a ghost haunting the woods, ready to swallow him whole.
"Wu Fulang, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
The original owner gave him a bright and warm (but actually terrifying) smile.
"I am your wife, Hua Qingcheng! You must be the Weaver Boy from heaven, and I am the Cowgirl from earth. As the saying goes, those who are destined to meet will meet even if they are thousands of miles apart. Since God has arranged for us to meet here, isn't that a great fate?"
As the original owner spoke, he picked up the white brocade clothes that Si Chengfeng had left on the shore.
"How dare you! Where did this wanton girl come from? Put down my clothes immediately!"
Si Chengfeng, naked in the warm pool, was furious when he saw the ugly woman who had the audacity to tease him and now wanted to take his clothes. However, he had already driven his followers to the periphery, and now he was really helpless. It was neither right nor wrong to get up.
"Wu Fulang, you, you...don't be angry!"
"Come, I'll pull you up and take you home."
At this time, Si Chengfeng had already swam to the edge of the warm pool. Seeing Hua Qingcheng extending her hand to him, he stepped forward, grabbed it, and then bit her right forearm hard.
“Ouch!”
A sharp pain shot through her right forearm, causing the original owner to grimace and hastily drop her clothes. She had only wanted to emulate the Cow Mother and retain the Weaver Boy in the sky, so why was the result so different?
"Hua Qingcheng, the people from Changle Casino have chased us to Huaqiao Village!"
At this moment, Hua Youcai's voice suddenly came from not far away. The original owner glanced at the handsome man in the warm pool, thinking that Hua Youcai must not be discovered, and then ran out and led Hua Youcai to another place.
"If you don't pay me back, the roof of your house will be torn down! Listen to my advice, sell your fourth husband and pay off your gambling debts first!"
It was at that time that the original owner was deceived by Hua Youcai into selling Yu Xiaotian, but he didn't know that he had fallen into the trap of Hua Youcai and Hua Fugui from the beginning.
"Wife, wife, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at his stunned wife, Mu Lige showed a worried look on his face and shook her arm.
"Oh, no, no... nothing, I just suddenly wondered if your three younger brothers had eaten at home."
Oh my god, is this original owner's head full of shit? How dare she flirt with a handsome guy when she sees one?
God, please strike me with lightning!
Take away all the sins and debts that belonged to the original owner!
This was the original owner's fault, not hers. Furthermore, the other party seemed unsure if she was the one who peeped at him bathing. After all, even the original owner's own mother wouldn't recognize her in her current state. She would never admit to this, even if she died.
Having made up her mind, Hua Qingcheng suppressed her inner restlessness and remained calm and composed on the outside.
“No.”
Hua Qingcheng poured herself another glass of water, then picked up the cup and drank it all.
"In that case, I'm afraid I've mistaken you for someone else. I apologize for disturbing you both."
Looking at the calm woman before him, Si Chengfeng laughed to himself, wondering if he had mistaken her for someone else. He stood up, nodded towards Hua Qingcheng and Mu Lige, then picked up the folding fan on the table and strode away.
Watching the graceful figure gradually moving away, Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly that the original owner's vision was indeed good, as she was surrounded by handsome men. However, she had to be lucky enough to enjoy such a thing, otherwise it would be a disaster!
"Sir, your wonton noodles."
At this time, the stall owner brought the cooked wonton noodles to the table.
Hua Qingcheng and Mu Lige, who did not go home at noon, ate two bowls of wonton noodles directly at the market.
"Wife, where are we going after lunch?"
They had just bought ready-made clothes and some cloth, and also bought new dishes and chopsticks. Mu Lige then asked Hua Qingcheng, who seemed to be thinking about something.
"We'll go back later and buy some rice and other food. There might be a lot of stuff, so if it doesn't work out, we can just take a bullock cart back."
Hua Qingcheng had gone to the market to observe in the morning. She found that the agricultural and sideline products here were relatively simple, and she also had a rough understanding of the prices of some vegetables, fruits, meat and poultry. She felt that hunting or picking some items in Pinglan Mountain to sell was feasible for short-term living needs.
But going up the mountain every day wasn't realistic. If the weather was bad, they wouldn't be able to go. Furthermore, whether picking mountain products or hunting, the uncertainty of having to rely on the weather made Hua Qingcheng feel very insecure.
Anyway, there is plenty of land in her space, and all of it can be operated mechanically. It is better to make good use of it and then find a stable job.
