Chapter 69: Two Faces in Front of People and Behind Their Backs

Mai Xiangdong came here specially because he heard rumors in the village.

But, what did he see?

Shen Xingchen looked decent, but he actually wanted to be a hooligan. Did he want to kiss Mai Sui just now?

Right?

Mai Xiangdong was embarrassed, but more angry.

Although he had heard Mai Lao San say a long time ago that Mai Sui had sent chicken soup to Shen Xingchen.

Between the two of them, it might be that Mai Sui fell in love with Shen Xingchen first.

But his niece’s brain is not very good, and he can’t judge with the thinking of ordinary people.

In the end, it’s Shen Xingchen’s fault!

As a person with normal thinking, wouldn’t he refuse?

As for the candidate for his niece’s husband, Mai Xiangdong is more optimistic about Lu Chengye.

First of all, Lu Chengye’s character and ability are guaranteed by the fourth brother Mai Xiangbei, so he is trustworthy.

Secondly, her husband’s family and her parents’ family are close by, so if something happens in the future, they can take care of her in time.

After all, Mai Sui’s situation is special, and marrying far away is definitely not a good thing.

Although Shen Xingchen is still working as an educated youth in the village, he may return to the city one day.

At that time, whether he will take Mai Sui with him is a problem.

Even if he has a conscience and is willing to take Mai Sui back to the city, the capital is so far away from their Lotus Village.

If something happens, they don’t know.

It must be said that Mai Xiangdong is really a good uncle. He treats Mai Sui as his own daughter and considers all aspects for her.

However, his considerations are in vain.

Mai Laosan has not told him about Mai Sui’s rebellious idea.

If Mai Xiangdong knew that Mai Sui just wanted to play, he would probably be shocked. When

Shen Xingchen saw Mai Xiangdong, he retracted his hand reflexively and moved two steps to the side to cover his ears and steal the bell.

Mai Sui pouted in disappointment.

Sure enough, her feeling was correct. Shen Xingchen had two faces in front of others and behind their backs.

She really couldn’t understand what he was afraid of.

“What are you doing here?” Mai Sui said with a slightly disdainful tone, and looked at Mai Xiangdong with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Mai Xiangdong suddenly felt the same as Mai Lao San, and his heart was choked, and then he looked at Mai Sui with an expression of regret.

Mai Sui was not afraid at all and stared back.

In the end, Mai Xiangdong was defeated and could only turn his spearhead to Shen Xingchen. He only heard

his low voice and said quite dissatisfiedly: “Shen Zhiqing, it’s not time to get off work yet, what are you doing here?”

“Sorry, captain, I’ll go back to work right away.”

Shen Xingchen naturally saw that Mai Xiangdong was deliberately making trouble, and did not argue with him, but honestly admitted his mistake.

“Don’t leave!” Mai Sui spoke domineeringly, with a strong attitude, and pressed Shen Xingchen to sit on the bamboo chair next to him.

Mai Xiangdong’s first reaction was to look back at the door, fearing that some blind guy was peeking outside.

Then he took out the posture of a patriarch and scolded Mai Sui:

“Mai Sui, what are you doing? What if someone sees you? Do you want to keep your reputation?”

“If someone sees you, you can’t eat reputation.”

Mai Sui looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and he was quite similar to Mai Lao San at some times.

Mai Xiangdong was so angry that he gasped for breath. In the end, Shen Xingchen stood up to speak for him.

“Mai Sui, the captain is also concerned about you. It is really not good to be seen by others.

Although I am not good at farm work, others are not born to be able to do it. If others can do it, I am sure I can do it too.

Believe me, I am not so weak. After work, I will come back to find you immediately, okay?”

Mai Sui saw that Shen Xingchen wanted to go to work so much, so he could only let him do it.

After Shen Xingchen left, Mai Xiangdong persuaded Mai Sui for a long time.

Mai Sui listened in one ear and out the other.

Finally, he was tired of listening and directly smashed the square stool next to him into pieces with one palm.

Then he turned his head and looked at someone sinisterly, and his voice was even more creepy:

“Uncle, I didn’t hear what you just said. How about you say it again?”

Although he said this, Mai Sui’s tone and demeanor at the moment expressed another meaning:

If you dare to say one more word, I will tear you into pieces like this bench!

Mai Xiangdong shivered unconsciously, and a gust of wind blew over him, and he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

Out of the animal’s survival instinct, he immediately stood up and walked to the door:

“I suddenly remembered that there seems to be something going on at the village committee. Mai Sui, uncle will leave first.”

Mai Xiangdong took two steps at a time and disappeared without a trace.

The world was finally quiet…

Mai Sui lay comfortably on the hammock in the yard, rocking and rocking, and her life was wonderful.

When Shen Xingchen came back with Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai, she saw Mai Sui in such a relaxed and carefree state.

Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai were used to it and didn’t think it was a big deal.

They greeted each other very naturally:

“Daughter, Dad is back from work.”

“Sister, I’ll go fetch water first.”

Mai Hongcai took the shoulder pole and bucket very consciously and prepared to go out to fetch water.

It was his turn today.

In order to improve his family status, Mai Laosan diligently helped Mai Sui pour bath water.

Mai Sui was used to taking a bath before eating, and then taking a quick shower before going to bed.

This was a habit that Mai Sui had developed over the years.

Because he used to fight and kill frequently, his body was dirty, and he couldn’t eat without washing first.

Shen Xingchen looked at this scene and felt a lot.

It seems that Uncle Mai San and his friends really dote on Mai Sui.

Not to mention in the countryside, even in the city, there are very few such people.

Shen Xingchen saw it in his eyes and kept it in his heart. He secretly vowed to treat Mai Sui better and not be outdone by Uncle Mai San and his friends.

So, when cooking, Shen Xingchen was particularly attentive.

Not only did he make the braised fish that Mai Sui loved to eat, but he also picked out all the fish bones from the other two fish, made fish balls from the fish meat, and made a fish ball soup for Mai Sui.

Because Mai Sui had said when she was fishing in the afternoon that she liked to eat fish, but she hated fish bones.

In addition, Shen Xingchen also made a plate of fragrant fried money eggs with garlic leaves, and eggplant stew that Mai Sui loved to eat.

The vegetables were all picked from the private plot.

This season is when vegetables mature in large quantities, so there is no need to worry about eating vegetables.

In the past, the private plot was taken care of by the original owner Mai Sui, and the aunt Tian Guifen occasionally came to help.

Now, this is the work of Mai Hongcai and Mai Lao San. In the future,

I’m afraid it will be Shen Xingchen’s job.

Because of the rules set by Mai Sui, whoever cooks is responsible for taking care of the vegetable garden.

Shen Xingchen took the initiative to take care of the cooking work, and the vegetable garden naturally belonged to him.

Shen Xingchen had no objection to this.

He was afraid that everyone would be too polite to him, but now that they were getting along so easily, he felt more at ease.

Later, everyone was surprised to find that Shen Xingchen’s cooking skills were comparable to those of the chefs in state-owned restaurants.

Mai Sui was particularly satisfied.

Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai also liked Shen Xingchen much more.

Then they found that not enough rice was cooked.

Under pressure from Mai Sui’s tyranny, Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai consciously left the last bowl of rice for Mai Sui.

Shen Xingchen secretly sighed: Uncle Mai San and the others are really good to Mai Sui~

However, he soon realized that they were too good!!!

Shen Xingchen accidentally discovered that Mai Hongcai was washing clothes for Mai Sui, not only the outer clothes, but also the small clothes inside.

He snatched the basin away, his face full of disbelief, and even a hint of imperceptible anger:

“Hongcai, these are your sister’s clothes, what are you doing?”
