Chapter 23

“You’re back.” Shen Qingli saw Zhou Yubai and called out with a smile. She just walked up to Zhou Yubai and found that there was someone following him.

“Brother Qichuan, why are you here?” Shen Qingli saw Gu Qichuan, who was a little darker than when he first came to Kaoshantun.

“I heard that you were sick, so I came to see you. Why are you still working when you are sick? Can’t Zhou Yubai wash the cloth? Can’t he cook the meal?” Gu Qichuan’s tone was very stiff.

He was anxious when he heard that Shen Qingli was sick. As a result, he followed Zhou Yubai home and saw Shen Qingli working!

Gu Qichuan really wanted to kill Zhou Yubai.

“Brother Qichuan, I’m not sick.” Shen Qingli came forward with a smile, “Since you’re here, let’s have a meal together.”

Gu Qichuan looked at Shen Qingli carefully. She had a rare ruddy complexion, which was better than when she was in Beijing.

“Are you really not sick?”

“Yeah.”

“No, what nonsense is he talking about.” Gu Qichuan rolled his eyes at Zhou Yubai, meaning that it was all his fault.

Zhou Yubai pursed his lips. He was always worried about Gu Qichuan. Although his young wife said that she was willing to live a good life with him, Gu Qichuan also made it clear that he wanted to take his wife away.

It would be strange if he was in a good mood to be accused by Gu Qichuan like this.

Shen Qingli reached out and held Zhou Yubai’s hand, “I asked him to say that. I’m almost well now, but the people in the production team don’t know. They all think I’m a sickly person. I have to get sick occasionally to stabilize my image.”

“Otherwise, what if they ask me to work in the fields?”

Zhou Yubai looked at the hand that was shaking with his, and the corners of his lips curved.

Gu Qichuan’s eyes dimmed. Every time, Shen Qingli chooses Zhou Yubai.

It felt bad.

“Go wash up and eat later. I’ll go cook some vegetables.” Shen Qingli turned and walked to the kitchen.

Zhou Yubai and Gu Qichuan looked at each other.

Gu Qichuan snorted coldly, “Don’t think that I will give up just because A-li is protecting you. I will keep an eye on you.”

Zhou Yubai didn’t say anything. He fetched water, washed his hands and face, and then filled a basin for Gu Qichuan, and went to the kitchen to help Shen Qingli.

After washing his hands and face, Gu Qichuan began to look around the yard.

The yard was very clean, with firewood neatly stacked against the wall, and dyed cloth floating in the yard. These colors were very special.

At least they were not common on the market.

Gu Qichuan’s eyes paused. Were these clothes dyed by A-li?

Shen Qingli over there made two more stir-fries, and Zhou Yubai cleaned up the table with her.

Shen Qingli didn’t steam much rice, and she was afraid that it wouldn’t be enough, so she baked a few more pancakes.

Gu Qichuan looked at the food and was quite satisfied. At least Zhou Yubai didn’t get the wrong A-li in eating.

The three of them finished their meal quickly.

“How did you plan to deal with the two children?” Gu Qichuan asked.

Shen Qingli looked up, what a smart childhood sweetheart.

“Why are you looking at me? Don’t I know what kind of personality you have? Those two little guys are so pitiful, and you met them again, can you just stand by and watch?” Gu Qichuan said unkindly.

He felt upset.

Shen Qingli grinned, “I just think you know me too well. I plan to adopt them, but first let their families give up on them completely.”

“You break off the relationship, he breaks off the relationship, and then you adopt two children who have been separated from each other. Your family combination is quite special.” Gu Qichuan said in a muffled voice.

Shen Qingli blinked; it was really the case.

“The Li family is famous for being stingy and taking advantage. They have a bad reputation. Gou Wa’s father left Kaoshantun a few years ago, and when he came back, he brought Gou Wa’s mother back.”

“No one knows where Gou Wa’s mother’s family is.”

“The elders in the village said that when Gou Wa’s grandmother scolded Gou Wa’s mother, she said, what’s wrong with the eldest daughter of a rich family? She still married a peasant.”

“There is another thing. Gou Wa’s mother’s body has not been found yet, so we can’t be sure that she is dead.”

Gu Qichuan finished speaking in one breath and then looked at Zhou Yubai and Shen Qingli.

“Brother Qichuan, you know a lot.” Shen Qingli gave a thumbs up.

“I have good relationships with people. When the villagers gossip, I stand by and listen. I have heard a lot.” Gu Qichuan’s brows relaxed.

His popularity is much better than Gu Qichuan.

In this regard, he is the winner.

“We also heard some things from Gou Wa. Her mother did not mention her own family.” Shen Qingli bent her fingers habitually.

“If you want to get involved in this mess, be careful. If you need anything from me, come to me.” Gu Qichuan stood up. There were still people gossiping about his relationship with Shen Qingli.

Therefore, it would not be good for Shen Qingli if he stayed in the courtyard for too long.

“I’ll go back first.”

“Brother Qichuan, goodbye.”

Shen Qingli waved.

Gu Qichuan was depressed: Didn’t he try to persuade me to stay?

“Go back to your room and rest for a while, I’ll clean up.” Zhou Yubai stood up and carried Shen Qingli back to the room and went to clean up the dining table and kitchen himself.

Shen Qingli: It’s okay to hug when you have a disagreement.

When Zhou Yubai cleaned up and went back to the room, Shen Qingli was folding clothes.

“Go and quietly bring some food to Gou Wa and the other two in the evening. I guess they didn’t eat anything tonight.” Shen Qingli said.

“Okay.” Zhou Yubai responded.

It got dark quickly. Zhou Yubai took two pancakes and walked quietly to Gou Wa’s house.

As soon as Zhou Yubai left, Shen Qingli released her mental power. After searching, she locked onto Li Pozi’s house.

“The two jinxes were sent back.”

“I heard that Shen Qingli is sick again. Ha, you nosy little bitch, you’ve done yourself a disservice this time. You might die in two days.”

“That’s right. If Shen Qingli dies, Zhou Yubai will have to kill the two little ones.”

“Don’t, if the two little ones die, let’s go get the things left by the stinky woman.”

The Li family discussed for a long time and finally decided that Li Pozi would go over to find trouble tomorrow morning and must bully the two little ones to death.

Shen Qingli withdrew her mental power.

Tomorrow morning, the good show may start at any time, and she must find a way to attract the audience.

When Zhou Yubai came back, Shen Qingli was thinking of a way and fell asleep thinking about it.

Zhou Yubai looked at his chubby little wife, and the corners of his lips curled up.

The two of them fell asleep in each other’s arms.

The next morning, Shen Qingli was full of sleep, and she got up with Zhou Yubai.

“There are no eggs at home.” Shen Qingli said.

“I’ll go find someone to exchange them after work at noon.” Zhou Yubai responded. He must satisfy his wife’s needs in terms of food and drink.

“Yeah.” Shen Qingli made dumpling soup in the morning, which was convenient and hot. “When are you going to the brick factory?”

“The team leader said to go tomorrow. I don’t know if Gou Wa and the others will make it in time.” Zhou Yubai said worriedly. If he went to the brick factory, Shen Qingli would be the only one at Gou Wa’s house.

He was afraid that she would be bullied.

“If nothing unexpected happens, it will be almost today.”
