Xiao Bao asked, "Big sister, what happened between you and Sister Xiao Yu?"
"Aunt Tang wanted to help Zhang Rushan with his fortune-telling, and asked me to persuade him to go home. I only asked her to help persuade him with a few words," Song Yuehua turned to comfort him, "Xiaoyu, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it..."
Xiao Bao sighed, "Sister Xiaoyu and Zhang Rushan love each other, so it's normal for Sister Xiaoyu to be angry when Big Sister makes such a request!"
"They love each other..." Song Yuehua said seriously, "Xiaobao, don't say such nonsense, it will ruin your sister Yu's reputation."
"I'm not talking nonsense."
Xiaoyu also showed half of her face and whispered, "Xiaobao is not talking nonsense..."
"You...you and Zhang Rushan..."
Song Yuehua's brain was buzzing, "No, why did you two...you told Xiaobao but not me?"
"No, no," Xie Yu said quickly, "I didn't tell anyone."
Song Yuehua looked at Xiaobao, "How did you know?"
"Master Yi let the secret slip, and I heard it. He must have heard it from Master Xia. Master Duan seems to know it too."
Xiaobao counted on his fingers.
Now, Song Yuehua felt more disappointed than shocked. "What's going on? Am I the only one in the family who doesn't know?"
Dabao raised his hand and said, "Sister, I don't know either."
Song Yuehua, "..."
"well……"
Song Yuehua sighed heavily, and then said to Xie Yu, "Don't make this public for now. I'll ask Zhang Rushan about this when I get to the county the day after tomorrow and see what he has to say."
Xie Yu hummed with a flushed face.
Song Yuehua left the house in a daze.
"How did Madam Xia know this?" Xie Yu raised his head and asked Xiao Bao.
Xiao Bao said, "Sister Yu, you should ask your elder sister why she doesn't know."
Xie Yu, "..."
The next morning.
Song Yuehua carried a hoe and prepared to go outside to loosen the soil in the vegetable garden.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a man about to knock on the door. The man was wearing a gray gown and looked very unruly.
The first thing he said was, "Did you ask someone to inquire about my character?"
Song Yuehua was dumbfounded. In just a moment, she cursed Liu Shanpao a thousand times in her heart.
"Huo Minggui?" Song Yuehua asked knowingly to ease the atmosphere.
Huo Minggui sighed and said, "Girl, you've done what you have done, so stop playing dumb."
Song Yuehua was speechless after hearing what he said, but Huo Minggui looked as if he didn't care.
"Your behavior is not surprising. It's rare to see a handsome, well-mannered and elegant gentleman among a group of country folk. I can understand that a young girl is tempted by love, but what do you mean by asking a thing like that to inquire about me? Isn't that an insult?"
Song Yuehua put down her hoe and asked, "What did Liu Shanpao do?"
"He asked it in front of me." Huo Minggui said.
Song Yuehua: "..." You get what you pay for. It's all her fault for hiring the wrong people.
"I'm really sorry for offending you, sir," Song Yuehua explained, "An aunt in the village mentioned you, and I was concerned about my apprentice's marriage, so I took the initiative to find a fool to inquire about you. Please forgive me if I offended you."
Huo Minggui glanced at her and said, "Oh, so it's not you. But it's okay. After all, I'm old enough to meet someone. Tell me the name of your little apprentice and I'll ask around. Only then will I feel at ease."
Song Yuehua, "..."
She was the one who made the first move, so she could only smile and say, "Mr. Huo has just arrived, so why don't you settle him down first before talking about your lifelong affairs."
Huo Minggui chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "Then I'll go and settle down first."
After this person left, Song Yuehua let out a long sigh.
Thinking of Liu Shanpao, Song Yuehua became angry again. She slammed the hoe into the yard, rolled up her sleeves and was ready to settle the score with him.
I don’t know if it was to avoid her, but Liu’s mother said that Liu Shanpao went to the county town to buy lamp oil.
This kid is more likely to cause trouble than to do good. Song Yuehua doesn't believe that if he can avoid her for a while, he can avoid her for the rest of his life.
The next night, Duan Yidao finally came back. He had found out all the news about Huo Minggui in the past few days.
The Huo family was not an unknown family in the local area, and the yard they used to live in was not small. It could be seen that the Huo family had quite a lot of wealth.
Through word of mouth from neighbors on the street, this kid doesn't have a good reputation.
"Bad reputation?" Song Yuehua frowned.
Duan Yidao said, "It's not that Huo Minggui did anything bad, but this guy has a really vicious tongue. He looks gentle and elegant, but he doesn't know how to be polite at all."
"The most cruel thing is that he doesn't use any curse words when he scolds people. If you don't understand, he will explain it to you."
"After being tortured by the Huo family kid for so many years, he has finally moved away. It can be said that the neighbors are happy to see him."
After hearing this, Song Yuehua asked, "Besides this, is there anything else wrong?"
Duan Yidao shook his head and said, "Huo Minggui is just a scholar. He usually studies and reviews his lessons. He occasionally chats with his neighbors. I haven't heard that he has any other hobbies. He doesn't drink or go to brothels. I heard that if he really has a hobby, it's fishing. I heard from the neighbors that he catches nothing nine out of ten times. It's really pitiful."
It turns out he is a caring fish farmer.
Considering all the factors, apart from the fact that his parents are not around and he is a bit impolite in his speech, there is nothing else wrong with him.
However, Song Yuehua thought about it and decided to wait until tomorrow to go to the shop to find Zhang Dandan to see if she could get some other information.
