Chapter 13

“Me?” Jiang Yule asked subconsciously, looking up at the two elderly people behind her, and then looking at Mu Chuan who looked away awkwardly. Jiang Yule still had something to not understand. She was afraid that Grandma Qi had just said something when she went home… The elderly hoped that the children in the family would get married and have children as soon as possible, and she understood, but this… This was the first time they met, so she shouldn’t say this…

“I’m not your sister-in-law. I’m the new educated youth in the brigade. You can call me Sister Yule. What’s your name?” Jiang Yule squatted down and looked at the little girl at eye level. She also took out two big white rabbits from her pocket and gave them to the little girl.

“My name is Shen Wen’ai, you can call me Xiao Ai”

“Hurry up and thank your sister for the candy.” Grandma Mu came forward and pulled Xiao Ai’s clothes to ask her to thank her

“Thank you, sister.” After Xiao Ai said this, she immediately asked Grandma Mu to cover her mouth, fearing that she would say something she shouldn’t say the next moment. Xiao Ai just stared at Jiang Yule with her big eyes fluttering.

This look is so adorable that Jiang Yule is melted. Mu Chuan’s family has really good genes. Look at how this little girl looks. She doesn’t look like a village kid at all. She is fair-skinned and speaks politely.

“Grandma Qi, Grandma Mu, I’m Jiang Yule, an educated youth who just arrived today. Please come in and have a seat. I’m still cleaning up today, so I don’t have much to offer you. I’m really sorry.”

After hearing Jiang Yule’s politeness and seeing how pretty this girl was, Grandma Mu, who had originally planned to just send Mu Chuan in and leave, decided not to leave now. In order to prevent Mu Chuan from not working hard, she planned to supervise him here…

“What are you calling? No need to take care of me. Just follow Mu Chuan and call me grandma. Just Grandma Mu. Take these fruits and eat them. The little girl loves them.” Grandma Mu stuffed the big bowl of fruits into Jiang Yule’s arms.

She fell in love with this girl! She and her husband Mu Chuan are a perfect match. If they get married, the baby they will have will be so cute!

“Then let’s go inside and sit down.” Jiang Yule invited everyone to sit inside. The main room had been cleaned up. It was cool inside and you could see the yard. Then you saw two old men approaching the room.

Hearing the noise, Meng Wanshu came out of the kitchen. Seeing so many people, her steps paused slightly. Just as she was about to ask something, she heard Jiang Yule explain, “Wanshu, this is Comrade Mu’s grandmother, and Grandma Mu’s granddaughter, Xiao Ai…”

“Hello, Grandma Mu, hello, Xiao Ai, my name is Meng Wanshu”

“Okay, okay,” Grandma Mu responded, but she was thinking in her heart that good-looking people just like to play with good-looking people.

“Let’s go in and sit down, Comrade Mu, Brother Qi Bo, let’s all go in and sit down for a while,” Jiang Yule greeted warmly.

But this discriminatory name made Grandma Mu unhappy. She secretly glared at her grandson. How could he find a wife when he had such a bad temper?

In the main hall, everyone drank the mung bean water brought by Grandma Qi, ate the fruit brought by Grandma Mu, and the peach cake brought by Jiang Yule.

She kept talking about interesting things in the village, but Grandma Mu didn’t listen to a word. Her mind and eyes were filled with her grandson who was sitting there with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking, not eating, not drinking, and not talking.

She also felt sorry for her grandson, but when would this behavior end…his behavior! Didn’t he hear that everyone was calling him Comrade Mu and Brother Qi Bo?

Mu Chuan heard it and felt a little uncomfortable because of this name, but he didn’t know why, so he lowered his head and thought about this.

But before he could figure things out, Mu Chuan heard some chilling words as if he was adopted by someone else…

“Chuan, if you’ve rested enough, go chop wood. Yule and the others have firewood in their yard. You were having a lot of fun chopping wood at home just now. Go ahead and chop smaller pieces so they can be more convenient for the girls to hold.”

“Hmm” Mu Chuan let out a long breath in his heart, and obediently left the main room. When he turned around to leave, he could still hear his grandmother say, “This young man has a hot temper. He has to use up all his energy during the day so that he can sleep well at night.”

Mu Chuan: Grandma, I can sleep well without using my strength. I chop wood at home because I feel sorry for my uncle and grandpa…

“Then… I’ll go too.” After hearing what his aunt said, Qi Bai also became a little restless. He stood up and followed her out… He also went to use up all his strength. If he sat down again, he had a hunch that his grandma’s next target would be him… Although he didn’t know why…

Jiang Yule just watched the two guys being chased away to work, feeling guilty.

She could more or less guess what the two old people were thinking, but Jiang Yule didn’t think there would be any sparks between them after just two days of knowing each other, so she was somewhat powerless to accept the other party’s friendly gestures…

In the main hall, the two old ladies sat and chatted with the two for a while. Seeing that they still had a lot to clean up, they didn’t delay any longer and got up to go home. But before leaving, Grandma Mu suddenly thought of something and said to Jiang Yule and Meng Wanshu, “It will probably be late when you finish cleaning up. You don’t have to cook dinner in the evening. I’ll ask Mu Chuan to bring it to you.”

“Grandma Mu, don’t bother, we can just make some,” Jiang Yule refused.

“It’s okay. It’s no big deal. We have to eat at home, so it’s okay to have two more sets of bowls and chopsticks.” Grandma Mu said, and without waiting for Jiang Yule to continue to refuse, she went home with Grandma Li.

If she were to ask, she would rather let the two children go to her home for meals, but since it was their first day, she had to be mindful of the impact on the village, so she had to settle for the next best thing and send the meals to her home…

“Huh, what do Grandma Qi and Grandma Mu mean?” Meng Wanshu looked at the two elderly people who left, and the two men who were working hard in the yard without even raising their heads, and couldn’t figure out what was going on.

“Why else could it be? Xiao Ai had already called her beautiful sister-in-law before she came in…”

“Ah? No way, this is just the first time we’ve met.”

“Who knows? Let’s go and clean out the other rooms.”

During this afternoon, Jiang Yule and Meng Wanshu moved back and forth between the rooms, Qi Bai and Mu Chuan were busy in the yard, and Xiao Ai was sitting on a small bench in the yard drawing with a pencil.

As the sky gradually darkened, the whole yard was completely renewed, the windows were clean, and the room was warm and cozy under the light.

“It’s getting late. We’ll go back first and bring you dinner later.”

This is the first sentence Mu Chuan said to Jiang Yule today.

When Jiang Yule heard this, he was stunned for a moment, subconsciously thinking that this sentence was not spoken to him.

“Oh, then I’ll trouble Comrade Mu.” As soon as Jiang Yule said this, she keenly noticed that Mu Chuan’s expression changed for a moment, but it was only a momentary change, so fast that she couldn’t believe her intuition.

“Um”

A deep and magnetic response was followed by the tall figures of Mu Chuan and Qi Bai.

“Is he angry?” Jiang Yule asked Meng Wanshu beside him in confusion.

“No way, doesn’t he always have this cold face?” Meng Wanshu replied blankly.

Looking at Meng Wanshu’s clear but beautiful face, Jiang Yule was sure again that this girl’s brain must be new.

“Let’s go back to the house.” Jiang Yule pulled Meng Wanshu into the house and sat down on the chair.

“Wanshu, let’s go to town tomorrow. I think the luggage should arrive early tomorrow morning. Let’s buy some meat and vegetables. They helped us so much today, we should thank them.”

“Yu Le… I think… we don’t need to buy too much…” Meng Wanshu frowned, glanced at the empty yard, stood up, turned his back to the door, faced Jiang Yu Le, and spread his palms up in front of Jiang Yu Le… At the same time, a chocolate of a certain brand appeared on the originally empty palm…

“You… your secret, you just told me like that… Aren’t you trusting me too much?” Compared to Meng Wanshu having a golden finger… She was more surprised… Such a big secret, Meng Wanshu just told her a person she had known for less than two days… Her brain must have just come out of the factory…

“I am a bit stupid, but I am good at judging people. Yule, you are not such a greedy person. What’s more, even if you tell others about this, someone has to believe it.”

Jiang Yule raised his eyebrows, not commenting on Meng Wanshu’s words. If she really wanted to, there were many ways to catch her, but Meng Wanshu was right about one thing. She didn’t want her golden finger, nor would she betray her.

So… in exchange, Jiang Yule selectively confessed part of it, “This… I also have a space, but it’s not big, there are many categories, but once the things are used up, they are gone.”

“Really?” Meng Wanshu said in surprise, “The one who came with me is the house I used to live in. I am a food blogger on weekdays and occasionally bring some goods, so there are a lot of food and daily necessities at home. They are automatically replenished after use, so I think we will not have to worry about food and drink in the past few years in the countryside!”

“Wanshu, this secret ends here. Don’t tell it to your future lover or husband,” Jiang Yule reminded again. The two of them could ensure that they would not tell each other’s secrets, but they could not guarantee that others would be loyal to them for life.

“I only know this to you, I won’t tell anyone else.”

As soon as Meng Wanshu finished speaking, the two of them felt a strange feeling in their hearts. It was hard to explain the feeling, which made their minds particularly clear, but it seemed that there were some more restrictions. Although there was no clear explanation, the two of them knew tacitly that the other party’s secrets could only be known by the two of them and could not be told to others. It was like some kind of heavenly restriction…

Rebirth can happen. With such constraints, the two of them don’t find it strange. With more constraints on each other, their friendship has become more simple.

“Is there someone knocking on the door?” Meng Wanshu suddenly heard some movement at the door and hurriedly got up to see what was happening. She saw Mu Chuan and Xiao Ai standing at the door.

“It’s Mu Chuan and Xiao Ai,” Meng Wanshu said, and then went out with Jiang Yule.

“Comrade Mu, I’m really sorry to bother you. Xiao Ai, come in with me and I’ll get you some candy.” Meng Wanshu took the basket and called Xiao Ai to come in.

“Thank you, sister.” Xiao Ai happily followed Meng Wanshu in. The two beautiful sisters were very gentle. Xiao Ai didn’t inherit anything else, but she inherited Grandma Mu’s beauty 100%. Now looking at the beautiful sisters, she was so happy that she didn’t even think it was a problem that she didn’t play with her friends in the evening and afternoon.

“Comrade Mu, would you like to come in and sit for a while?”

“No, it’s too late. It’s not convenient.” Mu Chuan’s clear voice reached Jiang Yule’s ears.

“Okay, then Comrade Mu, come to my house with Brother Qi Bo tomorrow night. Thanks to you guys for cleaning up the house today, Wan Shu and I will treat you to dinner. Bring Xiao Ai along.”

Jiang Yule finished speaking, and Mu Chuan frowned and kept silent, thinking that he was avoiding suspicion, so he explained, “Tomorrow night, I also plan to invite Fengxian from the educated youth point. There will be a lot of people. If Comrade Mu feels…”

At this moment, Mu Chuan’s mind was filled with the harsh words “Comrade Mu”. Others were Brother Qi Bo, Fengxian, Xiao Ai, Grandma Qi, and Grandma Mu, but why was he Comrade Mu!

“Muchuan”

Jiang Yule was halfway through her words when she was interrupted by the other party’s sudden words. She was a little dazed and just stared at him blankly. She knew his name was Mu Chuan, and then what?

Looking at the girl’s dazed look, Mu Chuan felt disgust towards girls for the first time since that incident. He also felt an incomprehensible yet pleasing emotion.

“Mu Chuan, just call me Mu Chuan.” Mu Chuan explained rarely, and his originally cold voice seemed to be much softer now.

“Ah, Mu… Mu Chuan? You… you don’t dislike girls… Sorry, I thought you didn’t like them, so I called you that.” Jiang Yule blurted out that he didn’t like girls, and he didn’t have time to take it back halfway through. He explained awkwardly.

“I’m normal,” Mu Chuan explained with an awkward cough, but there was something wrong with what he said, so he explained again.

“I was tricked by the sister of my father’s old friend. I am somewhat prejudiced. It is not your fault.”

“Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean anything else” Jiang Yule apologizes for doubting someone’s sexual orientation

“I’ll bring Xiao Ai over tomorrow night.”

“Oh, okay.” Mu Chuan’s jumping response made Jiang Yule a little overwhelmed.

“Jiang Yule, you and Meng Zhiqing are going to the town together tomorrow. You must be buying a lot of things. You can ride my and Qi Bai’s bicycles tomorrow.”

This was probably the longest sentence Mu Chuan had ever said.

Moreover, he asked her to call him Mu Chuan, but he called Meng Wanshu Meng Zhiqing and called himself Jiang Yule?

This made Jiang Yule look at Mu Chuan with a little scrutiny…

But she never dared to think down that path. It wasn’t because she felt she was unattractive, but because this man was too cold!

“We don’t need a bicycle, we can just walk there. If the department store has one, we plan to buy one.”

“Yeah, that’s fine.” Mu Chuan nodded, and saw Xiao Ai holding Meng Wanshu’s hand and coming out with a small bag in her hand.

“Xiao Ai, did you thank your sister?”

“Yes, I have, thank you sister.” Xiao Ai got a bag of White Rabbit, and the smile on her face was as bright as a flower.

“Then we’ll go back first,” Mu Chuan said to Jiang Yule, but what he was thinking was, Xiao Ai received so many valuable candies, what kind of gift should he bring tomorrow to make up for her?

“Well, goodbye, Xiao Ai.” Jiang Yule nodded in response to Mu Chuan, then bent down and waved to Xiao Ai.

“Goodbye to Sister Le, Goodbye to Sister Wanshu”
