Chapter 6: Believe
Yuan Lingling was listening to Aunt Yang scolding the Xie family mother and daughter when she saw Shen Caisheng bringing a child back.
She was confused, and her first reaction was that he already had a child, but then she felt that was impossible. If he had a child this big, then wouldn't it be...
Can’t think about it. Can’t think about it.
Taking a closer look at the child, Yuan Lingling quickly found the little kid from her memory. Wasn't this Monkey's younger brother Hou Yuan?
At first glance, he really looked pitiful.
"Brother Shen."
Ma Jie suddenly jumped in front of Shen Caisheng and was more attentive than Yuan Lingling, the daughter-in-law of the Shen family.
After greeting him, he was busy teasing the child, "Yuanyuan, why don't I call you Brother Ma?"
"Brother Ma Jie, Aunt Yang." Hou Yuan spoke slowly but her words were quite sweet. After calling the two of them, she grabbed Shen Caisheng's hand and stared at Yuan Lingling with her round eyes, but she didn't take the initiative to call anyone.
Ma Jie couldn't stand this awkward atmosphere. He glanced at Shen Caisheng and quickly pulled Hou Yuan over to introduce her, "This is your brother Caisheng's wife, her name is Sister Lingling."
Hou Yuan tilted his head and looked at Shen Caisheng, "Sister Lingling? Is it the Yuan Lingling that Sister Xie and Auntie just mentioned?"
Yuan Lingling's mouth twitched. How many bad things had these two people said about her? How come everyone can hear them scolding themselves?
It would be better to ask Shen Caisheng to break Xie Guanglian's legs so that they have no time to bite people anymore.
She looked at Shen Caisheng somewhat awkwardly, but he still looked calm and composed, worthy of being a big shot.
"These two conscienceless people are still talking nonsense. I wonder if their brains have been kicked by a donkey. They are not clean themselves but are trying to blame others. I should poison them to death!" Yang Ying said indignantly.
If it was anything else, she wouldn't have said much, but her husband Jie Zi had already said that the sweet potato cakes were given by Yuan Lingling to her family, not to the Xie family, so if you have the guts, don't eat other people's food.
She was so angry when she mentioned this that she pointed at Ma Jie and started to scold him, "Tell me what's the point of you telling me the truth, are you still thinking about Xie Aihe?"
Yuan Lingling opened her eyes. What kind of melon was this that she hadn't eaten before?
Not to mention, Xie Aihe is actually quite good-looking, and all the people in the Xie family are good-looking, otherwise the original body wouldn't have fallen for Xie Guanglian.
But I didn't expect that Ma Jie, who looked a little smart, was as stupid as the original body. It could be said that he didn't know people well.
Sure enough, his mother and Yuan Lingling had the same idea, "You idiot, when you were little you were coaxed by her to give her all your food rations, and now you're grown up you're still ignorant, if you dare to still have that thought..."
When Ma Jie heard that his mother was about to expose his past, he quickly said, "Mom, mom...can you please give your son some face? It happened so many years ago, why are you still talking about it?"
"Then tell me, why did you give the sweet potato cakes to those two people?"
Yang Ying was worried. Couldn't her silly son see that the couple was going to have a conflict? Is it so difficult to take the blame?
Little did she know that she had hit the nail on the head and hit the nail on the head on her son's guilty conscience. Naturally, the other party would argue with her.
At this moment, she just asked the key point. Ma Jie's face turned red. He wanted to explain but his eyes kept glancing at Shen Caisheng.
"My dear mother, can I explain it to you when I get back?"
Yang Ying looked like he knew it, and sneered, "Okay, let's go, I want to see what you can say."
As she said this, she was about to twist Ma Jie's ears. Ma Jie was not going to stand there and take the beating, so he jumped up and ran home, which made Yang Ying very angry.
"Caisheng, don't blame Lingling. This incident today is all caused by that kid Jie Zi. I'm going to go back and deal with him!"
Before leaving, Yang Ying smiled apologetically to Yuan Lingling. After walking a few steps, she stepped back and said, "By the way, will you bring me food later?"
Shen Caisheng's cooking skills are no worse than hers. Now that he is back, he probably won't need her anymore, and it will give the couple more time to spend together.
"Not for now, thank you for your help, auntie." This was the first sentence Shen Caisheng spoke after entering the courtyard for so long.
Yuan Lingling's eyes swept across his face for a moment, but she didn't dare to stay and she withdrew her eyes awkwardly, even the corners of her mouth that had just been raised were pulled down.
Seeing her like this, Shen Caisheng was a little confused and didn't understand why her attitude towards him changed again.
At the beginning, when she married him, it seemed that her heart and eyes were all about him. She was eager to share everything she saw and ate with him, which made him, who usually didn't like noise, very uncomfortable.
Later, rumors about her and Xie Guanglian spread outside, and she seemed to no longer like me. Instead, she tried to get close to Xie's family again and again.
I don’t see her treating me very well now, but why does she seem a little afraid of me?
No wonder the boss said that a woman’s heart is as deep as the sea and it takes a lifetime to understand it.
He didn't know that his silent and thoughtful look made Yuan Lingling even more scared.
Yuan Lingling's mind was filled with those small underground dark rooms where people were imprisoned that she had seen before. She even thought of some cases of wife-murder and dismemberment that she had seen before, and she felt terrible.
However, at this moment, Hou Yuan spoke up to save the awkward atmosphere.
“Sister Lingling, did you poison Aunt Xie and Sister?”
Okay, saved, but not much.
Yuan Lingling curled the corners of her mouth and wanted to reach out to pinch the child's face, but the child dodged her move.
Hou Yuan hugged Shen Caisheng's thighs, as if he was frightened by Yuan Lingling.
"I..." Yuan Lingling pulled her hand back slightly. She glanced at Shen Caisheng, saying that she had done nothing. However, she felt that a direct explanation would make her look guilty, so she pretended to be calm and said, "Poisoning is against the law. You will be arrested by the police. You can't do illegal things."
Hou Yuan held Shen Caisheng's thigh tightly and asked again: "Sister-in-law, did you poison him?"
"Of course not." Yuan Lingling was speechless. How had she offended this kid?
But she didn't care whether the child believed her or not. The most important thing was to make Shen Caisheng believe her.
Look at Shen Caisheng who doesn't say a word. Could it be that he doesn't believe it?
Yuan Lingling: "I..."
"I know you didn't poison it. That thing belongs to Ma Jie."
In fact, they had taken some things to help the monkeys deal with people, but they didn't use them. It just so happened that the mother and daughter of the Xie family fell into the trap at this moment, and Shen Caisheng guessed it at once.
Yuan Lingling didn't expect that he could trust her so easily. Her heart beat faster for some reason, but she also knew what she should say.
"I don't know, but it wasn't me who did it."
The relationship between her and Shen Caisheng is awkward now, and Yuan Lingling feels uncomfortable whenever she speaks to her.
However, Shen Caisheng glanced at her and said something that made her want to go back to the previous second and slap herself in the face.
There is nothing wrong with embarrassment. The most important thing is to live in peace.
Shen Caisheng said: "You just said that poisoning is illegal?"
Yuan Lingling was silent for a moment, then realized what he meant and her face immediately turned red.
He dug a hole for himself, jumped into it, and buried himself completely.
But at this moment, Hou Yuan asked in a cute way: "Sister Lingling, why is your face so red?"
Yuan Lingling answered in her heart: Don’t ask, I don’t want to live anymore.
She also figured it out.
Not only Ma Jie is a black-hearted person, this little guy, Chen Caisheng, and maybe the monkey are the same. On the surface, some of them look honest, some look cute, and some look cold, but in fact, they are all extremely black-hearted.
Thinking she could see through their thoughts, Yuan Lingling suddenly felt that Shen Caisheng was not so scary after all. He was obviously teasing her.
Are you teasing...?
Yuan Lingling glanced at him and found that he was also looking at her. She said hurriedly, "No one is perfect. It is a great virtue to correct one's mistakes as soon as one realizes them."
"You said so?"
If she saw it correctly, Shen Caisheng was smiling just now?
Damn it!
Yuan Lingling strongly suspected that this man was sent by God to test her, as he exuded charm all the time.
And he smiled at her, how disgusting.
"I'm going to cook, you guys chat."
As she spoke, she turned around and was about to slip away, but the ground under her feet was still wet after the snow had just been cleared. She slipped and was about to fall. At that moment, Yuan Lingling's heart suddenly beat fast.
It's over.
She wouldn't end up with two dead, would she?
The terrible thing did not happen, instead a warm hand came out, his palm pressed against her waist.
