Seeing Qianqian so excited, Shumei smiled and said, "Look at you. I'm getting married, not you, and you're so excited."
Qianqian burst into laughter, but in fact she was in a dilemma.
"Oh, you should hurry up too. Don't waste your best years."
"Yeah! Let it be! Sister Shumei, you guys sit down. I'll go buy some food and we can talk while we eat."
Qianqian stood up from the sofa as she spoke. It wasn't that she wanted to go buy groceries, but she simply couldn't pretend anymore and wanted to find an excuse to go out and get some fresh air.
"No, I have to go back now."
"It's okay, just have a meal, it won't take much time."
Although Shumei was reluctant, Qianqian didn't take it to heart at all. She still ran out of the store on her own.
"This..." Shumei looked at Boyi in embarrassment.
"Okay, let's have a meal. It won't take much time. You don't have anything urgent to do, right?" Boyi sat down and patted Shumei's hand to comfort her.
Shumei thought about it and realized she didn't have anything important to rush back to. If she did, it would only be the Fu family next door. She truly sympathized with Xiaomei's situation and didn't want her to be abused by Fu Jun even after she died. She wanted to personally check on Xiaomei and ensure she was buried properly.
In addition, there was an agreement with Wu Ju to go to the village to get the notarization done. Wu Ju's pigeons were not to be released casually, and they had to be returned tonight.
"Okay! Anyway, I haven't talked to Qianqian for a long time, and I have so many things to say to her!"
"Well, you and I haven't spoken for a long time. Why don't you seem to have a lot to say to me?"
"I don't want to bother with you."
Boyi was so blatantly jealous that Shumei felt a little embarrassed.
"By the way, why don't you come back with me tomorrow and we can figure out what to buy for the village."
"This..." Shumei thought about it! But she had promised Wu Ju, and she had stolen the household registration book at home. She really didn't dare to do such a long and arduous thing. "Forget it, you can do it yourself! I promised my mother to go back tonight, and I don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble or conflict."
"Okay then! It's a sensitive period right now, so you'd better not mess with them. After we have the wedding banquet, you can move in. That house was originally built for you. This way, you'll see each other less and have fewer conflicts."
The two of them are already looking forward to a happy life after marriage, and the happiness on their faces cannot be hidden.
…
Qianqian came out of the barber shop and did not rush to buy groceries. Instead, she found a secluded place, sat on a chair under a big tree, and cried loudly.
She didn't know why she was so obsessed with Boyi. Ever since she fell in love with Boyi, she found that there was no room for anyone else in her eyes.
Over the years, she has had many outstanding suitors, but she just isn't attracted to them. Whenever she sees those men, she'll think of Boyi's face, every detail of their sexual encounter that night, and their child who never came into this world.
God, can you give me some love potion so that I can forget the past and live a normal life?
She cried heart-wrenchingly and begged God in her heart, begging God to help her forget everything.
She even banged her head against the back of a chair, trying to make herself lose her memory so that she wouldn't feel the pain.
Unfortunately, none of this worked, her heart still ached, not a bit lessened by her begging and headbanging.
After she had cried enough and was exhausted, she dragged her tired feet and bought some vegetables to go back.
After lunch, Shumei rode her bicycle back to the village alone.
When I got back to the village, it was just the right time, neither too early nor too late, with the sun just setting. Everyone was packing up their farm tools and heading home, so it was the perfect time to go to the village to get the notarization done.
Shumei pushed Boyi's bicycle back to Zhang's house, "Mother, I'm back."
When Wu Ju saw Shumei coming back, she dropped the broken kitchen knife she was using to chop sweet potatoes and quickly stood up to greet her. She had always kept the notarization in mind, never daring to forget it for a moment.
Shumei leaned her bicycle against the corner of the courtyard wall, and Xiao Shuangning was the first to jump into her arms. She handed her the candy she had bought especially for her. Xiao Shuangning took the candy, grinning from ear to ear, and couldn't wait to peel a piece and put it in her mouth. She couldn't remember how long ago she had tasted this sweet taste.
Wu Ju came over and looked at Boyi's bicycle again and again.
"Is this something you just bought?"
Shumei smiled awkwardly, "No - Mother, this is Boyi's."
When Wu Ju heard this, her expression instantly turned serious. "One or two of them are all troublesome people. You are already a mother, why are you fooling around with him for no apparent reason?"
