Yuan Shitou was focused on cleaning the puddle when he sensed someone beside him.
I thought it was Xiaoxiao who had returned.
To his surprise, when he turned his head, he saw Fan Xiaohua getting closer to him.
He was so frightened that he jumped away immediately.
Xiao Xiao and the others were right; this woman was after him.
When Fan Xiaohua saw Yuan Shitou jump away and stay far away from her, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
She had just noticed that Yuan Shitou was sweating profusely, so she thought of wiping it off for him.
While you're at it, feel Yuan Shitou's firm and healthy skin.
I didn't expect him to be so sensitive. I'm so disappointed that I couldn't touch him.
Yuan Shitou looked at Fan Xiaohua's outstretched hand with annoyance.
Her voice rose considerably: "Fan Xiaohua, what do you want to do?"
His voice attracted the attention of the other workers.
The village chief seemed to understand what was going on.
But he still pretended not to know and asked, "Stone, what happened?"
Yuan Shitou thought to himself: Oh well, I didn't even touch it anyway.
Let's not say anything more, lest it damage Fan Xiaohua's reputation.
But Yuan Shitou wanted to give up, but Fan Xiaohua wouldn't have it.
She wiped away her tears, looking very aggrieved, and said:
"Brother Stone, I just wanted to wipe your sweat."
Why are you reacting so strongly?
Look at Yun Xiaoxiao, all she does is play, she doesn't help you at all.
You said you still…
Yuan Shitou shouted, "Enough! I don't know how to wipe my sweat, and you have to bother me too."
Who are you to me? Who gives you the right to pretend to be kind?
Fan Xiaohua felt wronged: "Brother Shitou, I only meant well, how could you say that to me?"
Yuan Shitou felt like throwing up. How come he never realized Fan Xiaohua was so despicable before?
I also thought she was a kind and understanding girl.
I never expected to see such things today.
He said with disgust, "You'd better stay away from me from now on, or don't blame me for being impolite."
When Fan Tieniu saw Yuan Shitou threatening his sister like this, he could no longer hold back.
"Stone, how dare you speak to me like that?"
Xiaohua meant well. If you don't accept it, fine, but why say such things about her?
Don't you know girls are very sensitive?
Yuan Shitou turned his face to the side and said in a very disdainful tone:
"Thin-skinned? Of all the people here, who has as thick skin as her?"
"Yuan Shitou, do you have to say it like that?"
"Can't you even give Xiaohua a break?"
Fan Tieniu was so angry he jumped up and down. Yuan Shitou was really disrespecting him.
"Face is something you give yourself, not something I give you."
"It's no use coming to me."
Yuan Shitou showed no regard for their past relationship.
If I don't say that, I'll be letting Xiaoxiao down, and I'll also be letting down my own pure heart.
Besides, what if she cares a little and doesn't want to marry me?
Fan Tieniu's face flushed red: "Yuan Shitou, do you want me to break off our friendship?"
Yuan Shitou rolled his eyes, mimicking Yun Xiaoxiao: "Didn't we already break off our friendship?"
These words infuriated Fan Tieniu, but he couldn't find a reason to refute them.
He stormed up, grabbed Fan Xiaohua, and left.
Fan Xiaohua didn't want to leave like this.
She wanted to play the victim, just in case Yuan Shitou softened and apologized to her.
Then she can take the opportunity to win back his heart.
She completely forgot that Yuan Shitou's heart had never lingered on her from beginning to end.
Fan Tieniu yelled at her, sounding exasperated:
"That's enough, Fan Xiaohua. Haven't you noticed that they don't want to talk to you at all?"
Why are you still shamelessly trying to get close to me?
Fan Xiaohua flung Fan Tieniu's hand away and roared back in an extremely shrill voice.
"Fan Tieniu, don't forget how you got married."
You dare yell at me? If it weren't for me, would you even be able to get a wife?
Not only did you not help me, but you also dared to yell at me. Who gave you the guts?
Fan Tieniu's face turned a deep liver color.
He never expected that his sister, whom he had always protected, would strip him of his dignity in front of so many people and trample on it.
After yelling, Fan Xiaohua felt a little regretful.
However, it's impossible to get an apology from her.
She was telling the truth; she wasn't lying.
When he saw Yun Xiaoxiao, he glared at her fiercely and turned to leave.
I'll kill you one day.
Fan Xiaohua thought bitterly to herself.
Yun Xiaoxiao frowned, reminding herself in her heart.
This woman is too difficult to deal with and petty; we must be careful.
Yuan Shitou felt somewhat aggrieved when he saw Yun Xiaoxiao return.
"Xiaoxiao, she didn't touch me."
I am still clean.
These words amused the onlookers.
Yun Xiaoxiao wanted to laugh too, but she held it in.
The village chief then called on everyone to continue cleaning the puddle.
This time, Yun Xiaoxiao didn't leave. Instead, she took out a small sorghum brush and cleaned the crevices of the puddle.
Yuan Shitou was relieved to see that Xiaoxiao was not angry.
Everyone is cleaning up the puddles.
The man shoveled the excess sand outside.
Women are like Yun Xiaoxiao, cleaning the sand from the cracks.
Salt produced this way will be very clean.
Fan Tieniu was furious, but Fan Xiaohua not only didn't come out to help, she also hid in the tent and slept.
I don't know how she manages to fall asleep.
At that moment, he was like a firecracker, ready to explode at any moment.
Fortunately, no one paid any attention to him.
Everyone's busy tending to their own puddles; who has the time for that?
Everyone finally managed to clean up the puddle when the tide came in.
They were all exhausted and sat down to rest on the rocks.
Yun Xiaoxiao skewered all the fish, shrimp, and crabs she had collected onto twigs and roasted them over a fire.
Yuan Min followed suit.
They even thought it was fun.
The two spoke in hushed tones, occasionally chuckling.
Fan Xiaohua sat by the fire, staring at Yun Xiaoxiao with hostility.
Fan Tieniu ignored her, acting as if he hadn't seen her at all.
They went about their own business.
As evening approached, a breeze began to stir on the water.
It feels chilly.
Yun Xiaoxiao was thin and frail, so Yuan Min pulled her into the tent to rest.
Actually, Yun Xiaoxiao wanted to say that she wasn't cold and even planned to watch the tide rise.
But he couldn't very well let Yuan Min down.
She knew Yuan Min was cold because she could feel that Yuan Min's hands were cold.
Yuan Shitou was initially worried that Xiaoxiao would catch a cold, but after seeing them enter the tent, he sat outside chatting with the others.
The fire was being blown about by the wind, making it seem like it might go out at any moment.
Before long, everyone gradually returned to their tents to rest.
Today's workload was quite heavy, and many people were exhausted.
He fell fast asleep as soon as he entered the tent.
Nobody knows what's going on outside.
Just as everyone was sound asleep, a scream woke them up.
Many men lit torches and came out, wanting to see what was going on.
The scream came from Fan Xiaohua.
She and Fan Tieniu each had a tent, which they set up at the bottom.
It was high tide, and the water was seeping into their tents.
The clothes and blankets were all soaked.
Many men who disliked Fan Xiaohua put out their torches and went back to sleep.
They won't care.
If you don't have good intentions, it's not good to get scammed.
Besides, isn't Fan Tieniu still around?
Unbeknownst to them, Fan Tieniu's tent had also been flooded.
