Then he stood up and saw that the purslane next to him was fresh and tender, so he picked a handful.
Xie Chunjiao stared blankly, and swallowed the words she wanted to say.
Looking at the wild vegetables picked in the basket, which seemed to be enough for dinner, Lin Yunchu stood up, patted the dirt off his hands, and planned to go back.
"Oh, who was it? It turned out to be you."
A sarcastic voice came from behind the two of them. Lin Yunchu paused with his raised foot, frowned slightly, and there was a barely perceptible look of displeasure on his face.
Before I could turn around, the voice behind me continued to ring.
"Xie Chunjiao, you don't even know wild vegetables, do you? You want all kinds of weeds. Your Xie family doesn't want to eat these weeds, do you?"
"Hahaha......"
These words immediately filled Lin Yunchu's face with anger. He turned around with a sullen face, and only then did he see clearly that there were three women in linen clothes standing behind him. They looked about the same age as him.
They all carried baskets filled with wild vegetables. It seemed that they were out digging for wild vegetables like them.
Judging from what he said, he should be familiar with cousin Chunjiao, that is, he is from Xiejia Village. However, his words sound so harsh, could it be that he has a grudge against my cousin.
Xie Chunjiao didn't want to pay any attention at first, but who would have thought that when the three men saw that Xie Chunjiao didn't say anything, they talked even more excitedly.
"Why are you glaring at me? Wasn't I right? Who knew you were so stupid that you couldn't even recognize wild vegetables?"
Xie Chunjiao's face was calm, as if she was used to such situations. She just glanced at the person who spoke and responded coldly: "What's it to you? We can eat whatever we like at home."
Just now, when Lin Yunchu was picking wild vegetables, he explained to Xie Chunjiao that those were edible wild vegetables, called wild onions and purslane.
Everyone in the Lin family has tried it, and it tastes great.
Xie Chunjiao just opened her lips slightly, and originally wanted to explain it clearly, but seemed to have thought of something, and just replied with an indifferent look on her face, and did not intend to waste any more words with these three people.
These people always had to say a few words to her every time they saw her. In her opinion, there was no need to bother with these insignificant people. They would just shut up if they found them boring.
After saying this, Xie Chunjiao grabbed Lin Yunchu's hand, turned around and wanted to go back home, no longer paying attention to the three people.
But when the three people behind saw Xie Chunjiao was about to leave, their faces suddenly darkened and they rushed forward to block the way of Xie Chunjiao and the other person.
"No wonder your two cousins don't even have anyone to propose marriage to. If they marry into your Xie family, wouldn't they not even be able to eat wild vegetables? They would just be like rabbits eating grass."
"Hahaha......."
Xie Chunjiao's originally calm expression suddenly turned ugly. She clenched her fists, closed her eyes, and looked extremely bad. A surge of anger rose in her chest.
Xie Ping and Xie An had already reached the age to get married, but the Xie family was poor and could not find a marriage for them. However, how could Xie Chunjiao bear to hear such words being spoken?
"I wouldn't look for you if I couldn't find a marriage."
"Xu Lian, you're so sarcastic, people who don't know you might think you have some ulterior motives."
"Next time you see me, please stay away from me, or I won't be so polite to you."
Xie Chunjiao was a quiet person to begin with, and she was still a bit stunned when she said such a long list of things at once. Lin Yunchu thought to himself that he hadn't expected that his cousin was not as soft as she seemed.
When he gets angry, he uses dirty words to curse people. Look at the girl who just spoke, her face is red with anger. It seems that she is very angry.
"you......"
Being retorted by Xie Chunjiao like this, Xu Lian's face was filled with shame and anger. He raised his finger and pointed at Xie Chunjiao, but did not utter a word for a long time.
"snort!"
Xie Chunjiao didn't want to indulge her either. Seeing that the person opposite her was on the verge of going crazy due to her words, she snorted coldly, pulled Lin Yunchu up and walked back to the Xie family.
After they had walked quite a distance, Lin Yunchu finally started to laugh. He gave Xie Chunjiao a thumbs-up and jokingly said, "Cousin, you're really amazing. I just saw that person so angry that he was almost shaking like a sieve."
It was obvious that she was extremely angry. Who made her so rude? Originally, Lin Yunchu and Xie Chunjiao were far away from those people who were digging wild vegetables in the fields.
Those three people must have seen through the identities of the two of them, and deliberately came up with those words to complain about the Xie family from top to bottom.
She also made fun of Xie Ping and Xie An, so it was no wonder that Xie Chunjiao retorted without giving her any face at all.
If her cousin hadn't spoken out today, she would have scolded her two cousins back.
After walking a long way, Xie Chunjiao slowly calmed down. Thinking of Xu Lian's expression just now, she breathed a sigh of relief, finally letting out the anger that had been pent up in her heart.
"You don't know, Xu Lian originally wanted to marry my eldest brother, but my grandparents and my aunt didn't agree. Every time she sees me, she always does this."
Xie Chunjiao paused, then explained to Lin Yunchu: "Although our Xie family is a little poor, and we are anxious about the marriages of our eldest and second brothers, Xu Lian may appear harmless on the surface, but behind the scenes she is two-faced."
Seeing Lin Yunchu's eyes widen, he leaned forward and lowered his voice, "My aunt accidentally saw us once. We can't really let such a person into our Xie family. If that happens, our family will be in chaos."
Although the Xie family is a little poor, their family tradition has always been upright. Both old man and old lady Xie are gentle, and Xie Ping is also honest and hardworking. He has always been very dedicated to the work in the fields.
He never refused to help when there was a need for help in the village. His aunt said that she wanted to find a girl with a simple heart for his eldest brother. Xu Lian's philandering mind was not suitable for Xie Ping.
After hearing what Xie Chunjiao said, Lin Yunchu suddenly understood and looked puzzled. It turned out that love turned into hate. He didn't expect that there was such a reason.
I thought she was mocking the Xie family's poverty, but I didn't expect that she actually fell in love with my eldest cousin and wanted to be their sister-in-law.
"But my eldest brother is indeed of marriageable age, and my aunt is very anxious."
But who can blame the Xie family for being poor? When Xie Chunjiao mentioned this, a look of worry appeared on her face.
Lin Yunchu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he covered his mouth with one hand, couldn't help but chuckled, and comforted Xie Chunjiao:
"Don't worry about that. We went into the mountains to pick mushrooms today. When big brother comes, we can take them to town and sell them. Then we'll have money."
After some time, I will definitely be able to find a good marriage for Xie Ping.
Besides, the potatoes in the field are about to be harvested, which will provide another source of income. Things will definitely get better slowly.
"Tomorrow we'll go back into the mountains and pick more mushrooms, so we can earn more money. Then we can find a good marriage for Big Brother and make Xu Lian mad!"
