Chapter 69: Two Faces in Front of People and Behind Their Backs



Mai Xiangdong came here specially because he heard the rumors in the village.

As a result, boy, what did he see?

Shen Xingchen looks like a decent man, but he actually wants to act like a hooligan. Did he look like he wanted to kiss Mai Sui just now?

Right?

Mai Xiangdong felt embarrassed, but more angry.

Although he had heard from Mai Lao San a long time ago that Mai Sui had given chicken soup to Shen Xingchen.

Between the two of them, it might be that Mai Sui fell in love with Shen Xingchen first.

But my niece's brain is not very good, so I can't judge with the same thinking as ordinary people.

In the end, Shen Xingchen is still to blame!

As a normal person, wouldn't he refuse?

As for the candidate for his nephew's husband, Mai Xiangdong is more optimistic about Lu Chengye.

Firstly, Lu Chengye's character and ability are guaranteed by the fourth brother Mai Xiangbei, so he is trustworthy.

Secondly, my husband’s family and my parents’ family are close by, so if anything happens in the future, they can take care of you in time.

After all, Mai Sui's situation is special, and marrying far away is definitely not a good thing.

Although Shen Xingchen is still working as an educated youth in the village, it is hard to say when he will return to the city.

At that time, it will be a question whether he takes the wheat ears with him or not.

Even if he had a conscience and was willing to take Mai Sui back to the city, the capital was so far away from their Lotus Village, and if something happened, they would not know.

I have to say that Mai Xiangdong is really a good uncle. He treats Mai Sui like his own daughter and considers her in every aspect.

However, it was all in vain for him to think so much.

Mai Lao San has not yet told him about Mai Sui's rebellious idea.

If Mai Xiangdong knew that Mai Sui just wanted to have fun, he would probably be shocked.

When Shen Xingchen saw Mai Xiangdong, he retracted his hand reflexively, and moved two steps to the side to try to cover his ears and steal the bell.

Mai Sui curled his lips in disappointment.

Sure enough, her feeling was correct. Shen Xingchen had two faces in front of others and behind their backs.

She really couldn't understand what he was afraid of.

"What are you doing here?" Mai Sui asked with a hint of disdain, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes when he looked at Mai Xiangdong.

Mai Xiangdong suddenly felt the same as Mai Laosan, his heart sank, and then he looked at Mai Sui with an expression of disappointment.

Mai Sui was not afraid at all and glared back.

In the end, Mai Xiangdong was defeated and had to turn his attention to Shen Xingchen.

He only heard his voice in a low, rather dissatisfied voice: "Shen Zhiqing, it's not time to get off work yet, what are you doing here?"

"Excuse me, Captain. I'll get back to work right away."

Shen Xingchen naturally saw that Mai Xiangdong was deliberately looking for trouble, so he didn't argue with him, but admitted his mistake honestly.

"Don't go!" Mai Sui spoke in a domineering and strong attitude, and pushed Shen Xingchen to sit on the bamboo chair next to him.

Mai Xiangdong's first reaction was to turn around and look towards the door, fearing that some blind guy was peeking at him outside.

Then he acted like a patriarch and scolded Mai Sui:

"Mai Sui, what are you doing? What if someone sees you? Do you still want to keep your reputation?"

"I see it, but fame is not something you can eat."

Mai Sui looks like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, and is quite similar to Mai Lao San at times.

Mai Xiangdong was so angry that he was gasping for breath. In the end, Shen Xingchen stood up and spoke for him.

"Mai Sui, the captain is just concerned about you. It would be bad if someone saw you.

Although I am not good at farm work, other people are not born with the ability to do it either. If others can do it, I am sure I can do it too.

Believe me, I'm not that weak. I'll come back to see you right after work, okay?"

Seeing that Shen Xingchen wanted to work so much, Mai Sui had no choice but to let him do as he pleased.

After Shen Xingchen left, Mai Xiangdong tried to persuade Mai Sui for a long time with all his heart.

The ear of wheat goes in the left ear and out the right ear.

Finally, he got tired of listening to it and smashed the square stool next to him into pieces with one palm.

Then he turned his head and looked at someone sinisterly, and his voice was even more creepy:

"Uncle, I didn't hear what you just said. How about you say it again?"

This is what he said, but Mai Sui's tone and demeanor at this moment expressed another meaning:

If you dare say one more word, I will tear you into pieces like this bench!

Mai Xiangdong shivered unconsciously, and just then a gust of wind blew over, and he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

Out of animal survival instinct, he immediately stood up and walked towards the door:

"I suddenly remembered that there seems to be some things going on at the village committee. Mai Sui, uncle will leave first."

Mai Xiangdong took two steps at a time and disappeared without a trace.

The world is finally quiet...

The wheat ears lay comfortably on the hammock in the yard, swaying back and forth, enjoying their happy life.

When Shen Xingchen came back with Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai, what he saw was Mai Sui looking relaxed and at ease.

Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai were used to it and didn't think there was anything wrong.

The two greeted each other naturally:

"My daughter, Daddy is back from work."

"Sister, I'm going to fetch some water first."

Mai Hongcai very consciously took the shoulder pole and bucket and prepared to go out to fetch water.

It's his turn today.

In order to improve his status in the family, Mai Lao San diligently helped Mai Sui pour the bath water.

Mai Sui is used to taking a bath before eating, and then taking a quick shower before going to bed.

This is a habit that Mai Sui has developed over the years.

Because I used to fight a lot, my clothes were dirty and I couldn’t eat without washing first.

Shen Xingchen looked at this scene and felt a lot of emotions.

It seems that Uncle Mai and the others really dote on Mai Sui.

Not to mention in rural areas, even in cities, there are very few such cases.

Shen Xingchen saw it all and kept it in mind, secretly vowing to be better to Mai Sui and not be outdone by Uncle Mai and the others.

Therefore, Shen Xingchen was particularly attentive when cooking.

Not only did he make the braised fish that Mai Sui loved to eat, he also picked out all the fish bones from the other two fish, made the fish meat into fish balls, and made fish ball soup for Mai Sui.

Because Mai Sui had said when they were fishing in the afternoon that she liked eating fish but hated fish bones.

In addition, Shen Xingchen also made a plate of fragrant fried eggs with garlic leaves, as well as the eggplant casserole that Mai Sui loved.

The vegetables are all picked from the private plots.

This season is the time when vegetables mature in large quantities, so there is no shortage of vegetables to eat.

In the past, the private plot was taken care of by the original owner Mai Sui, and his aunt-in-law Tian Guifen would occasionally come to help.

Now, this is the job of Mai Hongcai and Mai Laosan.

From now on, I'm afraid it will be Shen Xingchen's job.

Because of the rules set by Mai Sui, whoever cooks is responsible for taking care of the vegetable garden.

Shen Xingchen took the initiative to take charge of the cooking, and the vegetable garden was naturally under his charge as well.

Shen Xingchen had no objection to this.

He was afraid that everyone would be too polite to him, but now that they were able to get along so easily, he felt even more at ease.

Afterwards, everyone was surprised to find that Shen Xingchen's cooking skills were comparable to those of the chefs in state-owned restaurants.

Mai Sui was particularly satisfied.

Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai also began to like Shen Xingchen a lot more.

Then I found that the rice was not cooked enough.

Under pressure from Mai Sui's tyranny, Mai Lao San and Mai Hong Cai both consciously (were forced) to leave the last bowl of rice for Mai Sui.

Shen Xingchen secretly sighed: Uncle Mai and the others are really good to Mai Sui~

However, he soon realized that they were too good!!!

Shen Xingchen accidentally discovered that Mai Hongcai was washing clothes for Mai Sui, not only the outer clothes, but also the small clothes inside.

He snatched the basin away with a look of disbelief, and even a hint of barely perceptible anger:

"Hongcai, these are your sister's clothes, what are you doing?"
