Chapter 1243: Marriage Recovered Through Fraud (9)
Shi Chu had known for a long time that what Wang Minxi said was nonsense, but she still wanted to deceive herself. She was too naive. Shi Chu was an old fox, how could he not see through her empty city plan?
But Shi Chu had not expected that Duzhou was also a popular place in the eyes of the female educated youth. Logically speaking, the female educated youth, who were highly educated and came from the city, should look down on the native villagers.
Although Duzhou had a job in the city, he was born and raised in the village after all, and he was a widower with two children. Those arrogant female educated youth should have looked down on him.
Shi Chu was right to think so, but she overestimated the tolerance of these female educated youth. They have been in the countryside for six or seven years. When they were in the countryside for one or two years, they still had beautiful expectations and thought they would be able to return to the city soon. But they kept waiting, two years after two years, and now it was almost the fourth two years, and the time to return to the city was still far away. Their inner hope was getting smaller and smaller, and they were getting more and more desperate. They felt that they might be trapped in the village for the rest of their lives...
Under such circumstances, they naturally have to think about themselves. After losing hope, they have to return to reality. Moreover, farm work in the village is so hard, it is normal to want to find someone to rely on and share the burden. Therefore, in the past one or two years, more and more educated youth have married villagers and are determined to take root in the village.
So in this situation, it was very normal for Wang Minxi to take a fancy to Duzhou. In fact, she had already begun to prepare to "hook up" Duzhou, but she didn't expect that the original owner would act faster than her.
The man she liked was snatched away by the original owner, and she couldn't get rid of the heavy labor by getting married. How could she not hate the original owner? So it was very likely that she cursed the original owner in private.
After Wang Minxi was scared away by Shi Chu, she returned to the educated youth point and thought carefully about what Shi Chu had said to her. She felt that she seemed to have been fooled by Shi Chu. When she thought that Shi Chu might still be laughing at her, she became angrier and angrier.
When I saw the dark and simple rooms in the educated youth center and thought of the spacious and bright house in Duzhou, I hated Shi Chu even more.
Wang Minxi felt more and more unwilling the more she thought about it. She rolled her eyes and thought that since Wan Cao'er was so arrogant in front of her, wouldn't she be letting herself down if she didn't do something?
So she quickly came up with a vicious idea.
Shi Chu had no idea that she was about to be plotted against. She went back with a basket of wild vegetables and saw Duzhou taking a shower by the well in the yard.
He had his back to Shi Chu, wearing only a pair of shorts. His solid and beautiful inverted triangle figure was like an ancient Greek statue. A bucket of water was poured over his head, and his whole body began to sparkle in the sunlight.
Shi Chu couldn't help but cover her eyes and turned away. Oh my god, it was too dazzling. She couldn't bear it.
Duzhou heard the noise, turned around and saw Shi Chu's back as he walked out of the courtyard gate. His whole body stiffened suddenly, then he quickly shook his hair, picked up the towel beside him, and walked into the house while wiping the water off his body.
Shi Chu heard his footsteps gradually disappear outside, then he turned around and walked in. She returned to the kitchen as if nothing had happened, as if she hadn't seen anything.
It's not that she doesn't appreciate Duzhou's figure, but she thought that since Duzhou didn't like her and only wanted her to be a nanny to take care of his children, she had to respect him. After all, in the original world's plot, the original owner had cheated him badly enough, so she shouldn't go against other people's wishes now. It's better to have less trouble than more.
Duzhou himself, however, felt very uncomfortable after returning to his room, thinking, with Wancao'er's shameless spirit, would she have evil thoughts about him? If she used tricks on him and defiled him, how could he avoid it? She cooked delicious food and took good care of the children. If they had a falling out, it would not be good.
Duzhou thought a lot and finally prepared himself mentally. He walked out of the room nervously, thinking that if Wan Caoer saw him shamelessly pestering her, he would refuse her like this.
However, he overthought.
"Could you please stop standing in the kitchen? You're just getting in the way when you're not doing any work." Shi Chu said coldly, looking at Du Zhou who looked dazed after entering the kitchen.
Duzhou heard her words and looked at his position again, and found that he was indeed blocking her way to the pot, and Wancaoer didn't bother him at all, she just disliked him for blocking the way...
Duzhou's face suddenly felt hot, and he realized that he had been being too sentimental. Wancao'er had no desire for him at all.
Embarrassed and ashamed, Duzhou fled from the kitchen.
Shi Chu glanced at his fleeing back and felt completely bewildered.
More than thirty minutes later, Shi Chu prepared a simple lunch, and Du Zhou brought the two children back from their mother. After more than half an hour of digesting his emotions, he finally regained his inner composure and was no longer uncomfortable seeing Shi Chu.
"Wow! Auntie, we have mushrooms and Chinese cabbage to eat today!" Du Xiaoling was carried to the chair by Du Zhou, and when she saw the dishes on the table, she said happily.
"Yes, do you like mushrooms and Chinese cabbage?" Shi Chu asked her while serving her rice.
"I like it." Du Xiaoling said proudly, "I can eat a lot of mushrooms!"
"Really? Then you can have a good meal this time." Shi Chu said with a smile.
"Auntie, why is there no meat today?" Du Xiaoshi couldn't help feeling unhappy when he saw the table was full of vegetarian dishes.
"We've finished eating the meat. We don't have meat for every meal." Du Zhou picked up a mushroom for Du Xiaoshi. "If you want to eat meat, you'll have to wait a few days."
"Okay then." Du Xiaoshi sighed, "When I grow up, I will make a lot of money and eat meat for every meal. I will eat one pound at a time. No, two pounds at a time. One pound is not enough..."
"I want one too. I want to eat three pounds in one meal!" Du Xiaoling shouted hurriedly when he heard his brother's words.
Shi Chu couldn't help laughing when he heard her childish talk, and asked her, "Do you know how much three pounds of meat is? Can you eat it all?"
"Yes!" Du Xiaoling answered without hesitation. She had no idea about the weight of meat, but she just wanted to beat her brother.
Duzhou couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly, picked up some food for the two children, and said, "Okay, when you grow up and can earn money, you can eat as much as you want, even a whole pig for one meal."
"A pig?" Du Xiaoling's eyes widened. "Eat a whole pig for one meal? Wow! Wouldn't I be able to grow very big?"
"I want to eat a pig too. No, two!" Du Xiaoshi refused to admit defeat.
The brother and sister argued about who could eat more pigs. The argument was very intense, as if they were serious. Shi Chu thought, if I had a video recorder now, I could record it and show it to them when they grow up. I wonder what their expressions would be then...
