"No, Auntie, I don't feel uncomfortable now, I can go back by myself, but my clothes are wet, I have to go back to change clothes, and I can't learn to grow vegetables from you for the time being." The excuse of growing vegetables cannot be used up all at once, otherwise it will be difficult to come to your house next time.
"It's okay. When it comes to growing vegetables, you can do anything you want. The rest is basically the same. Now that the weather is getting colder, you should go back and change your clothes, otherwise you will catch a cold."
"Okay, then I'll leave first. I'll come and chat with you another day." Since Xu Hehua didn't ask me to come, I made the decision myself.
Xu Hehua smiled but didn't say anything: "..." I have nothing to talk to you about anymore.
After Li Chunyan left, Xu Hehua closed the gate of the yard. After Li Chunyan left, Jiang Shushu covered the hole he had dug with khaki cardboard, then opened the door and walked out.
Shui Hehua took Jiang Shushu's hand and whispered, "Shushu, can you tell me now why you asked Mom to cooperate in leaving Li Zhiqing alone at home?"
Jiang Shushu didn't answer but asked, "Mom, what do you think of Li Zhiqing when we were together just now?" If she thought he was good, then she would have nothing to say.
Although Xu Hehua didn't want to talk about others behind their backs, since Jiang Shushu asked this question, Xu Hehua told the truth.
"I don't want to associate with her anymore. At first, Li Zhiqing was very talkative, and I liked her quite a bit. But just now, I felt that she was being tactless. Most people would leave on their own initiative and not stay if they knew the host was not at home. I told her clearly, but she pretended not to understand. If you hadn't told me in advance, I would never have let her stay at home alone. I know your aunts so well. No matter whose family it is, if the family is not at home, we will leave on our own initiative. What's more, I'm not that familiar with Li Zhiqing yet. She knew you were sleeping and I was not at home, but she refused to leave even though it was inconvenient."
Jiang Shushu: "..." You see it quite clearly, so why can't you see it clearly about your son and daughter-in-law? If you had this kind of courage towards them, how would they dare to mess with you? It really proves that even an incorruptible judge cannot judge family affairs. You can sever emotions, but not blood ties.
"This person has evil intentions. Mom, you don't have to pay attention to her anymore. Didn't you fall down a few days ago? You said that it was Li Chunyan who helped you back up out of kindness, but someone told me that it was her fault that you fell down. She deliberately set you up to fall down, and then pretended to be a good person to help you up."
Xu Hehua was shocked. "This is terrible! She smiled so sweetly in front of me, but I didn't expect she was so mean behind my back." Then Xu Hehua was puzzled: "Why did she do this? I just thought about it carefully. I didn't offend Li Chunyan! Why would she, a little girl in her teens, go to such lengths to pick on an old woman like me?"
"I don't know either, that's why I asked you to leave Li Chunyan alone at home, just to see what she wants to do."
"Did you see that?"
"No, I just saw her digging our vegetable garden excitedly. She dug a huge, deep hole. Her expression was as if there was some treasure in our vegetable garden."
Li Chunyan, reborn, able to discover treasures, and possessing a golden finger, is a perfect heroine in a rebirth novel. Perhaps she has the uncanny luck those novels allege. She's fixated on the vegetable patch, wondering if there might be other treasures there. If she doesn't dig, she'll be terribly unsettled. What if Li Chunyan, willing to die in glory, denounces her family? And if she finds something in the patch, she'll be furious.
I could hide digging a chicken coop from Jiang He and his wife, but digging a vegetable patch definitely wouldn't work. Xu Hehua ran through the vegetable patch several times a day, and if I pulled up the vegetables by the roots, Xu Hehua would definitely know.
Since we can't hide it, let's dig it out together and save ourselves some energy.
"She went to such lengths to harm me, just to dig in our vegetable garden?"
Jiang Shubai: "..." Can you listen to everything I say? I have another sentence after that. It really is fun to talk to an old man.
"Maybe! I also know that the Li family and the Shen family are relatives. It is also possible that we rejected the Shen family, and Li Chunyan may have helped the Shen family to deliberately retaliate against us." Add more hatred to the Shen family.
Xu Hehua's expression turned ugly. "Do you think I dug up the Shen family's ancestral grave in my previous life?"
"Haha... Mom, instead of believing in his past life, you might as well believe that your son is blind and found a daughter-in-law who is narrow-minded, has a distorted outlook on life, and is cruel and vicious. Is it so difficult to admit that your son is not capable? You blame the heavens and the earth, but don't blame the real person." Jiang Shushu couldn't help but speak out.
Xu Hehua: "..." Although I know this, I just can't bear to do it. After all, I carried him for ten months and raised him with great difficulty. I always think that one day he will become better and sensible.
Seeing Xu Hehua like this, Jiang Shushu didn't want to talk anymore. Because Xu Hehua loved Jiang Shushu just as much. Others could say Xu Hehua was stupid, ignorant, and weak, but Jiang Shushu, as the beneficiary, couldn't say anything.
Xu Hehua decided to let the old man handle it. The best strategy was to run away. "Mom, I'm going to cook."
As soon as Jiang He came back, Xu Hehua immediately told him everything about Li Chunyan without reservation.
Jiang He was also very angry when he heard about it, "In the future, I'll have less contact with those educated youth. They are too cunning."
…
"Shushu, how big a hole did that Li Zhiqing dig?"
Jiang Shushu drew a picture with his hand and asked, "This big?"
Jiang He pondered for a moment. "Actually, there's something I've never told you. Part of our current homestead was once two thatched huts belonging to a former landlord. Back then, the huts were probably right next to the vegetable patch. I thought the area looked pretty neat, so I cleaned it up to grow vegetables and raise chickens."
Jiang Shushu: "..." He was just worried about the heroine getting pregnant, but he didn't expect the vegetable garden at home to have such an extraordinary origin. No wonder there was a treasure underneath. A rabbit has three burrows. Rich people prefer to plan ahead and never put all their eggs in one basket. Maybe there will be other treasures.
"The landlord's old house?" Jiang Shushu deliberately lowered his voice. "Could it be that we have the legendary treasure at home? And it's right in the vegetable garden. Could it be that Li Chunyan heard something? Otherwise, why would she come to our house to dig the ground?"
When Xu Hehua heard that there might be treasure in the vegetable garden she took care of every day, she was so scared that she covered her mouth.
Oh my goodness, I, Xu Hehua, wouldn’t even dare to think about it in my dreams.
Jiang He: "We'll find out if we dig a little. The place isn't very big anyway, so we'll be done in a day or two at most."
"Dad, it's okay to go slowly, but you must not let others know."
