Chapter 186 Instigation
Today, Mrs. Xu saw Xue Zhuang running towards the river as soon as he came back from the county, so she followed him quietly and saw Xue Zhuang entering Song Liyun's house.
She immediately became certain of her idea.
What man doesn't cheat? Besides, Song Liyun is good-looking and has not married yet at her age. Maybe she is just fooling around like this.
Mrs. Xu entered the woods and walked outside Baolinju. Looking at the carved gate of Baolinju, she felt sour: It would be so nice to live here.
After a while of envy, I suddenly heard someone on the road behind me say, "Brother Ping, are you bringing this grass back to feed the pigs?"
"No, I have a few rabbits at home, and I feed them."
"Ha, your family still raises rabbits. Now there are people in the town selling rabbits every day. You can buy one for fifty cents." The people who went to the river to pick acorns talked enthusiastically with Song Zhenping.
Song Zhenping said vaguely, "My little An likes rabbits, so I let him raise one for fun."
Mrs. Xu quickly hid behind a tree and soon saw a young man pulling a cart towards the Song family.
There were several baskets of green grass piled on the cart, and a boy of eight or nine years old was sitting on it.
Song Zhenping and Xiao An finished their work in the fields and went home to eat. They didn't notice that someone was peeping in the woods nearby.
After the two men pushed open the door and went in, Mrs. Xu slipped back to the main road and hurried home with Xiaobao in her arms.
Xiaobao pouted and looked unhappy. His mother said she went out to buy pine nut candy, but in the end she didn't buy anything.
Also, what was the person on the cart holding just now? It can still turn.
In the woods, Heijin was lying lazily with his chin propped up, and he could clearly see the sneaky mother and son.
It's hot now, so Heijin doesn't go up the mountain. He just sleeps in the wicker hanging basket every day and was woken up by the two men.
Well, Xiao An is back and I can go play with him again.
When Mrs. Xu returned to the house, Xue Zhuang had not yet arrived home.
Xu Yan'er was busy on the stove, juggling pots and pans. Seeing her sister-in-law come back, she hurriedly called out, "You said you were here to take care of me, but you're gone every day when I'm cooking, and you're back when it's time to eat."
Xu's wife sat down in front of the stove, picked up the fire stick and said with a pout, "It's enough to cook a bowl of porridge and fry two buns. It's enough for two people."
Xu Yan'er was furious: "You don't do any work and yet you want to eat? When Xiaobao's head injury is healed, you can go back and let mother come over. I can't use a great god like you."
“Oh! Now that you’re married to a good man, you can speak with more confidence.
When I get back, I'll teach my cousins from several uncles' families to be more discerning and nimble, and to quickly pull a good man into bed when they see one."
Mrs. Xu is not one to lose when it comes to talking, so of course she points out where it hurts.
Xu Yaner was about to cry again.
When Xue Zhuang returned from Suijin Guild Hall, Xu Yan'er was still sitting in the house crying.
"What's wrong with you? What do you want to do at home every day?"
Xue Zhuang had just found Mr. Zhang and had already discussed the matter of borrowing money to buy land. He was feeling very happy, but when he got home, he saw Xu Yaner crying.
Xu Yan'er rubbed her eyes and stammered, "Nothing, nothing, I'll bring you food."
Xue Zhuang pulled her over, stared at Xu Yan'er's face and said, "Tell the truth!"
Although he was annoyed by Xu Yan'er's mischief in the past, she was his wife and had a child in her belly. He couldn't just watch her cry like this every day.
Won't I cry my heart out when I give birth to a child?
Being questioned by Xue Zhuang, Xu Yan'er panicked a little. She knew that if her husband knew that it was her sister-in-law who was gossiping again, he would definitely kick her out.
She shook her head vigorously: "Nothing, I just miss home."
"I miss home!" Xue Zhuang let go of her hand, his expression indifferent: "Then bring the food!"
If Xu Yaner had said she missed home at the beginning, Xue Zhuang would have tried to cheer her up, but now the money has been sent back and her family has come to pick her up, and she still misses home... This is a trick to ask for money.
Mrs. Xu hid in the side room, staring at the main house without blinking. She saw Xue Zhuang come in with a small package in his hand.
The package was taken from the Song family.
As expected, this adulterous couple was bullying Yan'er. They even dared to take the things home directly. I don't know how they will cheat people later.
At this moment, she saw Xu Yan'er rubbing her eyes and coming out of the main room to the kitchen, and she hurried over: "Well, I didn't lie to you!
You are such a fool. Your man is with that bitch every day. Everyone in town knows about it, but they only keep it a secret from you.
If I hadn't seen Xue Zhuang enter the room with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. After all, Song Liyun is still a grown-up girl... Oh! I forgot, Master Xue has a lot of tricks up his sleeves, specifically to seduce grown-up girls! He can get into bed with her in just a few days, hehehe!"
Being ridiculed again, Xu Yan'er felt embarrassed and annoyed: "What nonsense are you talking about? Zhuang Ge didn't say anything."
When Xue Zhuang came back, he said a few words to her, one about what he was doing and the other about serving food. He really didn't mention anything else.
When Xu's sister-in-law heard that nothing was said, she immediately exploded and pushed Xu Yan'er to the main house: "I didn't say anything, which means I'm still hiding it from you, I'm still hiding it from you!
Don't worry about the meal, just go ask him where he's been. See if he has a small package with him."
Xu Yan'er was half-believing and half-doubting. Xue Zhuang was indeed holding a small package just now, but he just didn't open it.
At the urging of Xu's sister-in-law, Xu Yan'er walked back to the main house, holding porridge, steamed buns, two side dishes, and a plate of pig's head.
Because it was hot, Xue Zhuang took off his clothes and sat on the kang wearing only a short jacket.
Xu Yaner put the food on the kang table and glanced at the package thrown on the kang.
Seeing Xue Zhuang eating and in a good mood, she said, "Brother Zhuang, what were you busy with this morning? Hu Qing and the others came looking for you but couldn't find you."
Xue Zhuang said casually while eating, "I met Hu Qing at the guild hall."
After returning to the town from Baolinju, he went to see Mr. Zhang again, and there he saw Hu Qing who was looking for him everywhere.
Hearing that he didn't see Song Liyun, Xu Yan'er felt relieved and looked at the small cloth bag again: "What is that?"
Xue Zhuang threw the cloth bag into her arms: "Open it and take a look. Do you like it?"
Xu Yaner hurriedly unwrapped the package and saw that it contained cloth that was softer than gauze. She was immediately surprised and said, "Ah! There is such good cloth.
I've been looking at Aunt Ma's place, and she said there's only coarse cloth in town, no fine cotton for children, and I was thinking of asking you to buy some!"
The two grocery stores in Suijin Town only sold coarse cloth, which even adults found too rough to wear. I didn't expect Xue Zhuang to bring it back.
She took out the cloth and turned it upside down, and suddenly found a problem: why was there so little cloth? It was only enough to make two clothes for the child.
She also wanted to make an inner garment with such a nice thing.
"Brother Zhuang, where did this cloth come from?"
Xue Zhuang thought for a moment before saying, "I bought it in the city yesterday."
He originally wanted to say that it was given by Song Liyun, but then he remembered that Xu Yan'er had always been narrow-minded, and now that she was pregnant, she was even more emotionally unstable.
In addition, her sister-in-law was causing trouble at home, and it would be bad if some gossip spread. It would be better to wait for two days after her sister-in-law left before explaining.
Xu Yan'er's face suddenly darkened. She stared at Xue Zhuang and said, "You really bought it yesterday, why didn't you give it to me yesterday?"
