Chapter 91 You're asking me the right question
"Let me help you clean up."
Mrs. Wei stepped forward, picked up a broom, and swept the fallen leaves that had accumulated in the yard for a long time in one direction.
Su Fen seemed a little embarrassed and straightened up: "No, no, I can do it..."
Mrs. Wei ignored Sufen and continued working.
Sufen was originally moving the firewood scattered in the yard. Seeing that Mrs. Wei did not listen to her advice, she felt a little helpless. But after a while, she saw that Mrs. Wei was still sweeping the yard. She had no choice but to let Mrs. Wei do it while she started moving the firewood.
After Sufen finished moving the scattered firewood, she looked towards Mrs. Wei and saw that she had already finished sweeping the yard and was dismantling the chicken coop that had been in disrepair for a long time. There were no chickens in the chicken coop any longer. The chicken coop was so collapsed that it could no longer be used. It produced too much smoke even when used for burning firewood.
The chicken coop was filled with chicken droppings that had accumulated for a long time and had become as solid as iron lumps. Sufen felt embarrassed again: "I, I'll help you..."
"No need. These chicken feces have to be kept... soak them in water for a while, maybe they can still be used." Mrs. Wei didn't even raise her head, "You are young, you may not be able to handle this."
Sufen uttered a low "Oh".
She watched from the side for a while, and seeing that Mrs. Wei really didn't need her help, she turned around and went back to busy herself with other things.
After the two of them worked for the whole morning, the yard was completely new.
Sufen wiped the sweat from her head. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but Mrs. Wei seemed to be more friendly to her.
Mrs. Wei didn't stay long. When the time she had agreed to meet with Old Xu was almost up, she took Xingxing and left with Wei Laosi.
Wei Lao Si was still a little reluctant to leave: "Second sister, I don't know when you will come over next time. Third sister married even further away, I don't know when the three of us can be reunited."
Mrs. Wei's expression softened a little.
The reason she came this time was actually to ask Wei Laosi whether he knew that Wei Feng was working as a thug in the casino.
But Wei Lao Si found such a young widow as his daughter-in-law because of Wei Feng's relationship. Mrs. Wei knew it and there was no need to ask further. Wei Lao Si must have known it and was happy to accept it.
Mrs. Wei didn't say anything else.
She knew that speaking up would only make people dislike her.
"Okay, I'll come see you when I have time." Mrs. Wei waved her hand with some disdain, "When you have time, come to my house to see your nephews."
Wei Lao Si smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
He then remembered something: "Second sister, in two months, it will be your brother's wedding day. Then your whole family should come over for a feast."
Hearing Wei Lao Si bring up this matter again, Mrs. Wei couldn't help but look at Sufen.
Sufen followed Wei Laosi with her head lowered and her eyes obediently. She didn't even raise her eyebrows when she heard this.
Mrs. Wei couldn't help but murmur again.
But thinking about how Sufen had worked with her all morning, Mrs. Wei felt that she might have been overthinking it.
——Would a person who is unwilling to settle down and live a good life here spend so much effort cleaning?
"Okay, then you can ask someone to give me a message." Mrs. Wei agreed immediately.
When Wei Lao Si saw this, he knew that his second sister at least no longer opposed this marriage, and he was so happy that his face was beaming with joy.
Mrs. Wei and Xingxing got on Old Man Xu's cart and returned to Nantuo Village.
When she got home this time, her three daughters-in-law came out to greet her and asked Mrs. Wei questions enthusiastically.
Mrs. Wei looked at Su Rouer first.
The Su family has been in turmoil these past few days. Although the Su family paid some money to ensure Su Chengzong's temporary safety, it can be considered a good thing that he has temporarily survived this disaster. However, from the way Mrs. Wei looked at Su Rouer, she must have been completely disappointed with the Su family.
Su Rouer was worried about Su Chengzong before. She couldn't sleep all night and her eyes were red. After she was completely disappointed with the Su family and finally let it go, she looked better now.
I guess it's because I had a good sleep and I'm feeling refreshed.
Mrs. Wei nodded secretly.
She asked about Bai Xiaofeng's pregnancy again.
At this point, Bai Xiaofeng smiled widely: "...Mom, I've already told you that this baby of mine is definitely a girl. She's so sweet. She's not noisy at all. She's just very greedy and always wants to eat fruit."
Speaking of this, she felt a little embarrassed.
Xing Xing became excited: "Second Auntie, Xing Xing has it, Xing Xing has it!"
She held up a small cloth bag. Before leaving, Wei Laosi had asked Sufen to fill the bag with washed fruits for Xingxing.
Bai Xiaofeng said "How can I compete with a little kid for food", but she couldn't help but glance at the bag in Xingxing's hand.
Mrs. Wei was delighted: "What a success!"
I still gave half of the fruits in Xingxing's small cloth bag to Bai Xiaofeng.
Bai Xiaofeng also felt a little uncomfortable, and promised Xingxing: "Your uncle said that he would bring me some fruits when the time comes... I will give Xingxing more when the time comes."
Li Chunhua and Wei Pozi couldn't wait to say, "Mom, I want to go to the Taoist temple again in a few days, as a way to fulfill my wish?"
Mrs. Wei was a little curious: "What wish did you make?"
Are you going to fulfill your vow so soon?
"Not really. It was the old Taoist priest who told us to be careful on the road and watch out for accidents when we were leaving..." Li Chunhua said quickly, mumbling, "Mom, look, didn't we have an accident on the road? Fortunately, it was temporarily resolved in the end. Maybe it was the blessing of the gods."
“……” Mrs. Wei thought it was a bit absurd, but she couldn’t just say that what her eldest daughter-in-law said didn’t make sense.
Su Rouer was also excited when she heard this: "Yes, yes, it must be the blessing of the gods!"
May the gods bless her and help her see the true faces of her parents!
The eldest and third daughters-in-law were very excited and said it was the gods' blessing, so Mrs. Wei did not raise any objections: "Okay, in two days, you can choose a day when your family is not busy and go to fulfill your wish."
Anyway, people in the village often go there to burn incense and worship Buddha, so it's not a rare thing.
Li Chunhua and Su Rouer were both very happy, but Bai Xiaofeng felt a little regretful because she was pregnant and could not walk on the steep mountain roads.
After a few more discussions, Xingxing had already fallen asleep in Granny Wei's arms.
Mrs. Wei put Xingxing back on the kang, but she didn't delay and went out to chat with the villagers.
She remembered that there were people in the village, and her parents' home was in the village where Sufen lived.
Mrs. Wei went to visit her to inquire about Sufen's ex-husband's family situation.
When the villagers heard Mrs. Wei mention Sufen, they were a little surprised: "Why are you mentioning her when nothing happened?"
Mrs. Wei did not hide the truth: "My brother from my mother's family is going to marry a young widow, this Sufen. I was thinking about it, so I came to ask you about it."
Although the villagers had heard that Sufen's husband jumped into the river and died, this was the first time they knew that Mrs. Wei's brother was going to marry Sufen!
She said excitedly: "Then you are right to ask me!"
