Chapter 64: There’s Gossip

Shen Chuning felt a little embarrassed. She just liked these children, so when she bought the cakes, she thought of buying one for each of them.

Unexpectedly, spending money wasn’t a good thing.

The eldest, Zhou Xiaolian, lowered her head, feeling sad and quietly saying to Shen Chuning, “Third Aunt, I’m sorry.

Next time you buy something delicious, just buy it for my younger brothers, don’t buy it for us, we’ll go back.”

After saying this, Zhou Xiaolian quickly pulled her two younger sisters back.

When the three sisters walked towards Sun Fengjiao, Sun Fengjiao was still gnashing her teeth and scolding, “You three dead girls, I serve you every day, and you don’t show any gratitude to me, a piece of cake bought you off, right?

Ungrateful dead girls…”

Xia Yue’e was also a little embarrassed, watching Sun Fengjiao push her three daughters into the house with Shen Chuning, before saying, “Ningning, your eldest sister-in-law has this temper, don’t mind her. Let’s go, let’s eat fish at Second Sister-in-law’s place.”

Seeing Xia Yue’e calling Shen Chuning to eat, Lin Shulan’s mood improved slightly.

At least there was one who wasn’t blind.

Xia Yue’e was too enthusiastic, and Shen Chuning couldn’t refuse.

She went to the second room for a meal.

Xia Yue’e’s fish-stewing skills were indeed good, the fish was stewed deliciously and appetizingly.

After dinner, she went to the main room to talk to Lin Shulan for a while.

When she was leaving, Lin Shulan advised her, “Ningning, Mother knows you like children. But it’s better to have your own children, if you have extra things, give some to others, there’s no need to buy things for other people’s children.”

Shen Chuning nodded, “Mother, I understand.”

After those two times she gave things to the eldest son’s family’s children, Sun Fengjiao’s behavior made her dare not give things to the eldest son’s family’s children casually anymore.

But if she didn’t give to the eldest son’s family, only to the second son’s family, Sun Fengjiao would definitely have something to say.

After all, they were family, and she didn’t want to cause any conflict because of those things.

So she decided to treat everyone equally, not giving to anyone.

Although Shen Chuning’s house was next door, Lin Shulan was still worried and personally sent Shen Chuning back to her courtyard, watching Shen Chuning bolt the door before returning with peace of mind.

That night, Lin Shulan lay in bed and couldn’t help but chatter to Father Zhou, “Before, everyone in the village said that Shen’s girl was spoiled, but she seems to be a good one.

Although she doesn’t know how to do farm work, her house is clean, she’s filial, and she always thinks of us two old people. She also likes children, look how good she is to the children in the eldest and second son’s families.

If she could have children easily and give Yubai a son or daughter earlier, it would be even better.”

“That Yubai is really something, he’s only been married for a few days, and he’s back in the army. I don’t know if he planted any seeds…”

Father Zhou was annoyed by Lin Shulan’s nagging and covered his head with a pillow.

“I said, old woman, what are you nagging about all day! You manage everything, even your son’s business, do you have to manage it?”

Lin Shulan was angry at being rebuked by her old man and angrily punched him, “You’re just like that old man, you don’t worry about anything all day!”

Zhou Yubai had already led his team to arrest all the enemy agents who had infiltrated the city.

But two escaped into the mountains near Meizhou City.

He was now leading his team into the mountains.

The deep mountains were particularly dangerous at night, even though his team was well-trained, they didn’t dare to act rashly.

After finding a suitable place to camp, the soldiers were eating dry rations and chatting.

Someone started talking about their wives and children.

Then they talked about how long after their marriage their wives got pregnant.

Zhou Yubai couldn’t help but think that he and his wife had worked hard for three days, he wondered if the seeds he had planted in his wife had taken root.

Now the village had entered the final stage of autumn harvest, starting to dig sweet potatoes. After digging sweet potatoes, they would plant rapeseed in the fields and on the mountains.

Everyone in the village started to get busy again.

Only Shen Chuning, who didn’t have to work, was idle.

He Hui had to work, and naturally didn’t have time to teach Shen Chuning to make shoe soles during this busy farming season.

Shen Chuning took advantage of this time to plant seeds in her small private plot.

After planting, she watered them with spiritual spring water.

Then, she squatted and watched for a while, and didn’t see the seedlings sprout at a visible speed like in the space.

Shen Chuning guessed that even if the spiritual spring water could promote plant growth outside the space, the effect would be greatly reduced.

These days, she could see Wang Yumeng passing by her courtyard gate every day.

In the first two days, Wang Yumeng’s complexion was rosy when she returned, and her eyes were always a little smug when she saw her.

But in the past two days, Wang Yumeng always returned with a gloomy face.

Shen Chuning guessed that something must have happened between her and Second Brother.

Sure enough, seven days later, in the afternoon, Wang Yumeng passed by her door and went straight into her house.

She said, “Comrade Shen Chuning, Comrade Shen Zhengliang saved me once, and I’ve taken care of him for seven days. I think I’ve repaid my debt of gratitude, please ask your family to take care of him tomorrow, I won’t go anymore.”

After Wang Yumeng finished speaking, she left without waiting for her reaction.

Shen Chuning raised her eyebrows, looking at her back.

She thought that Wang Yumeng would pretend at least until her second brother was discharged from the hospital to get her pendant, but she couldn’t even pretend for seven days.

It seemed that she had overestimated Wang Yumeng.

After Wang Yumeng left, Shen Chuning couldn’t help but ride her bicycle to Shen’s house out of curiosity.

Although she hadn’t been to the hospital these days, her brother went to the hospital to wipe her second brother down every other day as usual.

Her brother might know what happened between Wang Yumeng and Second Brother.

But after she told her brother what Wang Yumeng had said to her today, her brother looked confused, “Did they have a conflict? I didn’t notice.

When I went to wipe shen down today, I still saw them chatting and laughing.”

It seemed that she couldn’t get the gossip from her brother.

She could only go to Second Brother tomorrow to get the gossip.

The next day, Shen Chuning rushed to the hospital early in the morning.

When she pushed open the ward door, Shen Zhengliang heard the sound and sat up excitedly, looking at the ward door with hope.

When he saw that it was her, Shen Zhengliang couldn’t hide his disappointment, “Ningning, it’s you. Why are you here?”

Shen Chuning said helplessly, “Your good revolutionary comrade doesn’t want to take care of you anymore. I’m your sister, I can’t just let you lie in the hospital without anyone taking care of you!”

“Oh.” Shen Zhengliang responded, his eyelids drooping, listlessly sitting on the bed.

Shen Chuning sat down by the bed, propping her chin with her hands, looking like she was waiting for gossip, “Second Brother, what’s wrong with you and your revolutionary comrade?”
