Chapter 1103 Stepfather 14
Yuanchun worked more vigorously and faster than Cao Hui, a big guy. She completed 70% of the task in the morning. Only when she heard the bell to end work did Yuanchun pick up her hoe and walk behind Cao Hui.
The two lived in the front and back yards and walked the same road.
Passing by the door of Yu's house, Yu Qing spotted Cao Hui and ran out, "Brother Huizi, you're off work."
Before she could say anything else, she saw Yuanchun behind him.
Yu Qing's face fell, "Xu Yuanchun, you are such a shameless person, but you are still clinging to Brother Huizi. You have no shame, but Brother Huizi still has some dignity."
Yuanchun was scolded and looked confused, "Yu Qing, I...I didn't pester Brother Huizi, I just went the same way as him."
"Who would believe you?" Yu Qing thought, "Don't think I can't guess your little thoughts. Your father wants to marry you to Uncle Ergouzi, but you are unwilling to do so, so you want to pester Brother Huizi to marry you."
Yuanchun felt very innocent and wronged, her eyes were red, "I didn't, Yu Qing, you wronged me, my dad canceled my marriage with Uncle Er Gouzi, I was really just going the same way with Brother Huizi, we didn't say a word on the way, if you don't believe me, ask other people."
It wasn't just her who was traveling with Cao Hui, there were others as well.
Even Yu Qing's parents were walking behind.
Father and Mother Yu had already arrived. They had heard their daughter's nonsense and slanderous words. Father Yu said, "Yuanchun, my Xiaoqing was just joking with you. Don't take it seriously."
Mother Yu curled her lips in displeasure, without even looking at Yuanchun, and dragged her daughter away, "Xiaoqing, come on, go into the house and let mom cook for you."
"This……"
Father Yu was embarrassed. "Well, Cao Hui, Yuanchun, I apologize to you on behalf of Xiaoqing. It's getting late. Let's go back and have dinner."
Then, he carried the hoe into the yard.
Yuanchun looked like she was being bullied. She sniffed and forced a smile, saying, "Brother Huizi, I will try to find a different way to go in the future. I won't let people misunderstand me for pestering you anymore."
"We stand upright and sit properly, so don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid, I...I'm just worried that it will affect your reputation."
"Don't worry. I'm a grown man, how can I be afraid of other people's gossip?"
"Brother Huizi, thank you."
"You're welcome. We all heard that your father had arranged your marriage to Er Gouzi, but your father and Er Gouzi had a fight yesterday. Does that mean the marriage is cancelled?"
"Well, it's cancelled."
"That's good. Er Gouzi is old enough to be your grandfather. You must not agree to marry him to your father."
"I know, Brother Huizi, I'm going home to cook."
Yesterday was supposed to be the day when Cao Hui killed Er Laizi. Now, Cao Hui is still fine. He has passed the moment of killing in his previous life. His fate has changed. She has fulfilled the original owner's first wish.
Yuanchun entered the courtyard, scooped two gourd ladles of water into the pot that had been cleaned in the morning, added a few handfuls of corn stalks, covered the pot, and lit the fire.
After throwing a few pieces of wood into the stove, Yuanchun ignored the fire.
She scooped out two bowls of cornmeal, took out the blanched wild vegetables and chopped them up, then divided them into two portions. She put oil, salt, soy sauce and chili in one portion, and only put a little salt in the other portion. After the water in the pot boiled, she scooped a ladle of boiling water to blanch the noodles.
At noon, we ate corn grits porridge and cornmeal and wild vegetable cakes.
Give one of the oil-free buns to my stepfather.
She ate two dishes with oil and chili. There were not many condiments at home, and Yuanchun was in charge of cooking, so of course she had to save the condiments for herself.
