Chapter 584: Profitable - The Sickly Young Girl's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard
"Ah? Who is this?" As soon as Aunt Li entered the yard, she saw a strange woman busy at the door of Zhou's house.
Lin Qing and the other two who followed closely behind also looked at Bai Xing'er curiously.
Bai Xing'er's face was filled with horror.
Aunt Li immediately realized that she seemed to have frightened someone a little, and quickly said in a gentle tone: "Hello, I am the aunt in charge of this courtyard. My last name is Li, you can just call me Aunt Li."
Mother Su was already heading towards them, but Mother Lin and the others dodged her quickly.
Aunt Su was not very happy to be avoided, "Tsk! You must have gained something big by being so defensive against me!"
Aunt Li didn't care about Bai Xing'er and turned to Aunt Su and yelled, "Aunt Su, can you be a little polite? This is not your own property, why do you keep touching it so carelessly?"
Aunt Su curled her lips and asked, "See what's going on?"
Aunt Li waved her hands. "What's so good about it? Isn't it just a bunch of wild vegetables?"
Aunt Su muttered quietly: "Tsk~ Who are you kidding? When did you go to the mountains and not gain anything?"
“……”You know all this, why are you still asking?
Aunt Li didn't want to talk to Aunt Su about the harvest anymore, so she asked, "Who is this female comrade?"
Aunt Su looked at Bai Xing'er, "Oh, it's her! She is a relative of Aunt Zhou, and she said she's staying here for two days."
Lin Qing and others looked at Bai Xing'er. The clothes she was wearing were extremely old-fashioned and loose. They seemed to have seen them somewhere before.
Uh...this looks like Aunt Zhou’s own clothes!
What kind of relative is this?
Why don't they believe it?
With Zhou's mother's nature of taking advantage, she actually allowed her relatives to stay here? And even gave them her own clothes to wear?
Tsk, who knows, there might be some profit to be made!
"Where is Aunt Zhou?" Aunt Li asked Aunt Su, who was tilting her head.
"I guess he's sleeping in the house!"
"Ah? She lets her relatives work alone while she is sleeping?" Isn't this somewhat inappropriate?
How could a customer come to do so much work?
Lin Qing and the others thought so too, and they felt more and more that this girl could not be just an ordinary relative.
Bai Xing'er had already lowered her head in shame and fear at this point. Even Aunt Li felt embarrassed to talk to her again for fear of scaring her again.
"Uh... this comrade! After Aunt Zhou wakes up, ask her to introduce you to the other people in our compound!"
"Okay!" Bai Xing'er's voice was as thin as a mosquito.
If Aunt Li hadn't been looking at her and saw her nod slightly, she would have probably ignored the slight sound.
Aunt Li smacked her lips and said, "Okay! Let Aunt Zhou do it herself, since she's too timid! Don't let these people get involved."
Lin Qing and his mother had already returned to their home, one pushing a bicycle and the other carrying a backpack.
Bai Xing'er glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and was surprised by Lin Qing's appearance. It was true that people in the city were beautiful!
She was simply not comparable to someone who had been praised for her beauty since childhood. She felt inferior.
Aunt Li and Aunt Sui also saw the opportunity and walked around Aunt Su and went to the backyard.
Aunt Su stamped her feet unwillingly, what's so great about that?
When she turned around, she saw Aunt Gu standing at the door looking at her with a smile, as if she was laughing at her stupidity.
Aunt Su paused and rolled her eyes. "Aunt Gu, are they really stingy? They won't even let me take a look at it. I don't really need their things!"
"You already knew it, yet you still ran up there. Don't you deserve it?" Aunt Gu had long known that there was no way they would be able to take advantage of her, so she wasn't even interested in going up to take a look.
And based on their performance just now, she could have guessed it in all likelihood. It was right there below, either a hare or a pheasant. What was there to guess?
Mother Su was choked so much that she snorted coldly and turned around to go home.
Bai Xing'er kept her head down while working, but she still pricked up her ears to listen to the confrontation between Aunt Su and Aunt Gu.
It seems that the neighbors in this compound are not much different from those in the countryside! There are some minor conflicts and they will stab each other from time to time. It's just that the people in the city are more polite and won't fight for no reason.
If Lin Qing knew what she was thinking, he would probably say: You are too naive! It's just that you didn't see it, it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Lin Qing poured water for himself and his mother, "Mom, do you want some sugar?"
"No, no." Mother Lin waved her hands and refused.
Lin Qing herself didn't want to add sugar, so the mother and daughter just drank plain water to quench their thirst.
"Mom! What are we going to eat tonight?"
"They haven't finished eating the meat they bought two days ago. Let's eat that first! The rabbit is still alive. We can eat it in a few days."
"good!"
Because they would occasionally have a good harvest when they went up the mountain, they specially prepared a cage at home to hold these creatures.
"Let your father kill him when the time comes!" Lin's mother didn't want to do it herself, so she decided to leave this rough work to her father!
Lin Qing laughed, "Hahaha! Let Dad feel a little involved too!"
"Hahaha! Yes, that's right." Lin's mother liked this word.
"What are you two laughing at?" Father Lin estimated the time and just came back from outside.
"Dad!" Lin Qing went over to him, and his father skillfully raised one of his arms for Lin Qing to hold.
"Did you have a smooth outing today?" Father Lin took Lin Qing back to sit next to Mother Lin.
"It went quite smoothly. Look, this is what we harvested today." Lin Qing pointed to him excitedly.
"Wow! Amazing! My wife and daughter are really extraordinary when they do this!"
Mother Lin felt a little embarrassed by the compliments.
Lin Qing chuckled.
Father Lin doesn't care, as long as they are happy!
The family of three joked around for a while, and then Father Lin asked, "By the way, who's that at the next door?"
"I heard that he is a relative of Aunt Zhou!" Lin Qing replied.
"Relatives? His family has a relative working there? This is too ungentlemanly!" Father Lin felt that this was not something that ordinary people could do.
"Come on, it's obvious that she's not a serious relative. I don't know why she came here, but she must have something to ask of Aunt Zhou." Mother Lin glanced at Father Lin and explained to him.
"Ah? You want to ask Aunt Zhou for something?"
Lin Qing thought for a moment, "Could it be that she wants Aunt Zhou to help her find a date in the city?"
"This is very possible." Lin's mother agreed.
