Chapter 37

Shen Hongying, who had been about to charge forward, froze in place.

She looked at Song Shishi, then at Chen Shanhe and Wei Xiaoxuan, as if she understood something.

Seeing that Liu Shen was about to pounce on Song Shishi again, Shen Hongying quickly pushed her away, yelling, “Get out of my way!”

Song Shishi took the opportunity to hide behind Shi Tou.

Liu Shen fell to the ground, trying to get up, but she couldn’t for a while, she could only hold her waist and scold, “Ouch… who pushed me?”

Only then did Song Shishi realize that Liu Shen had fallen on a large Shi Tou when she was pushed by Shen Hongying, it looked painful just looking at it.

“Pfft~” Xu Li shielded Song Shishi behind her and covered her mouth, giggling.

Liu Shen heard the laughter and looked over with sharp eyes.

Seeing this, Shi Tou, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, shielded Xu Li behind him.

Only then did Song Shishi realize that something was wrong.

Shi Tou was always quiet and didn’t like to meddle in other people’s business, why was he so smart today, he even knew to protect her and Xu Li?

Before she could figure it out, Shen Hongying’s side became even more chaotic.

Chen Shanhe was protecting Wei Xiaoxuan in his arms, and Shen Hongying was so angry that she was about to scratch his face.

Seeing the situation getting worse, Aunt Shen rushed over and called a few aunties to separate them.

Everyone’s attention was focused on Liu Shen and Shen Hongying.

For a moment, everyone forgot about the rumors about Song Shishi.

Xu Li wanted to continue watching the show, but Song Shishi grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

Shi Tou looked back and followed.

“Sister, what’s wrong?” Xu Li asked in confusion.

She made a silencing gesture to Xu Li and quickened her pace.

“We’ll talk about it at home.”

Taking advantage of the chaos and Liu Shen’s injury, they had to leave this place of trouble.

They had to avoid someone coming to their senses and turning their attention to them later.

This was just a lesson for Liu Shen.

Next time, she wouldn’t let her off so easily.

And Zhou Xingxue too.

She was so restless, if she didn’t teach her a lesson, she would always think she was easy to manipulate.

Did Zhou Xingxue really think that An Jinsheng’s situation was just a coincidence?

Back home, they closed the courtyard door, and Song Shishi slowly walked into the kitchen, pouring a glass of water for Xu Li and Shi Tou.

“Shi Tou, thank you today, if you weren’t here, Xu Li and I would have been drowned in those people’s saliva.”

Shi Tou wasn’t good at communicating with people, and he was even more at a loss now.

He blushed, his eyes couldn’t help but glance at Xu Li, and he stammered, “I… I didn’t really do anything. That… it was all Master, Master told him to go.”

Song Shishi’s eyes swept back and forth between Shi Tou and Xu Li, seeing that Xu Li kept her head down, she didn’t say anything.

“Of course, I have to thank your Master too, I’ll definitely go and thank him in person, take this bag of peach cakes back to your Master to try, I remember he likes them.”

Shi Tou hesitated, not sure whether to accept it.

“My sister is giving it to you, take it, it’s not for you, it’s for your Master.” Xu Li saw that Shi Tou didn’t react for a long time, and Song Shishi had been holding out her hand for a while, so she couldn’t help but speak up.

“Oh, okay.” Shi Tou took the peach cakes and, under the gaze of Song Shishi and Xu Li, became a little restless, he quickly stood up and went back.

Song Shishi got up to see him off, “Thank you for today, I’m going to town tomorrow, if you want to buy anything, I’ll bring it back for you.”

“No need, thank you.” Shi Tou said, then turned and ran away.

“He’s gone?” Xu Li stuck her head out and looked outside.

“If you wanted to see him off, you should have come out earlier, you were so slow, he’s gone and you’re asking now.” She tapped Xu Li’s forehead, “Come clean, what’s going on between you and Shi Tou?”

Perhaps she had been focusing on her own affairs, and she hadn’t noticed the story between Xu Li and Shi Tou.

Because Xu Li died very early in her previous life, and Shi Tou left Huaqing Village after two years, she never thought there would be anything between them.

Xu Li’s ears turned red, and her toes unconsciously rubbed against the ground, “Actually, it’s nothing, it’s just that he saw me catching fish once, he thought I was good at catching fish, and he made me a fishing rod, and then we just got to know each other.”

“Just got to know each other?”

“Well… what else could it be?” Xu Li seemed to be pressed, her voice became louder.

Her little face was as red as an apple.

Looking at Xu Li like this, she must have had feelings for Shi Tou, but looking at the awkwardness between them, they probably hadn’t gotten together yet.

But Shi Tou was a good person, really.

He was hardworking and kind.

If Xu Li could marry Shi Tou in the future, it would be a good choice.

After all, there would be no mother-in-law conflict, they just needed to live their own lives.

But Xu Li was still young, so she didn’t need to worry about these things yet.

Let them develop naturally.

So she smiled faintly, “Nothing, I just wanted to say Shi Tou is a good person, there’s plenty of time.”

“Oh, I see.”

Xu Li seemed to realize that she had been too emotional just now, she slowly moved to Song Shishi’s side, tugging at her sleeve and gently pulling it twice, whispering, “Sister, I’m sorry, I just… I just…”

Song ShiShitouched Xu Li’s head and said softly, “It’s okay.”

“By the way, we were going to study together, but the books at home aren’t suitable for you, I’ll go to the library tomorrow and borrow some books for you.”

“Okay, I’ve been studying the characters you taught me these days.”

“Then write them for me,”

“Look, this is my name, this is sister’s name…”

“…”

Because she had to go to the library to get her translation documents, Song Shishi left early the next morning.

When she arrived, Director Zhao hadn’t come yet, she wasn’t in a hurry.

She first returned the books she had borrowed last time, then went to find books suitable for Xu Li to study.

No matter what the future held, it was always good to read more.

“Xiao Song, you came so early today?”

As soon as Director Zhao arrived, he heard Xiao Su at the registration desk say that Song Shishi had come early, so he came to find her.

Song Shishi heard him, put the book back on the shelf, turned around, and said with a smile, “Good morning, Director Zhao.”

“Good morning.”

Director Zhao beckoned her over, “It just so happens that I have something to talk to you about today, let’s go to the office and talk.”

“Okay.”

Director Zhao seemed mysterious, but he had a smile on his face, it must be something good.

Song Shishi followed Director Zhao into the office. Director Zhao specially closed the door, then went to the cabinet next to him, took out a document, and handed it to her.

“Take a look at this document first, then we’ll talk about the rest.” Director Zhao looked at her with anticipation.
