Chapter 42: Dispute at the Village Entrance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Before Su Li reached home, she saw the two little guys waiting for her at the intersection.
“Brother, look, Mother is back!” When He Qingmu saw Su Li coming down from the mountain, he was so excited that he threw the tree branch in his hand to the side.
A smile appeared on He Qingyao’s face. He Qingmu had already rushed towards su Li!
Although He Qingyao had the same thought, he still insisted to finish writing down the name he was writing because his mother had said that he could not give up halfway. Whether it was studying or other things, he had to persevere in finishing everything and doing it well!
“Are you guys waiting for me?” Su Li asked.
He Qingmu nodded vigorously. “That’s right. Brother and I have been writing our names on the ground while waiting for Mother to come back.”
“Good boys!” Su Li smiled.
There were no books at home that could allow the two brothers to study. Thus, Su Li planned to buy a few books from the library tomorrow. Otherwise, just the words she taught might not be enough.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to deliver the goods to the Exquisite Pavilion. It was also the day that Su Li and Sun Yuangui had agreed on.
Su Li woke up early. After making breakfast for the two little guys, she knocked on the door of the house next door.
Chen Xiang had already returned from work in the fields and was feeding the pigs at home. When she saw Su Li, she put down the pig food bucket in her hand.
“You’re going out so early?”
“Yes, I want to hand the goods over to them.” Su Li looked at Chen Xiang and said, “Sister-in-law, please help me look after the brothers today. I’m a little worried about leaving them at home!”
After what happened last time, she could not help but worry about leaving the children at home. Wang Chunhua was not the kind of person who was reasonable. If she came to find trouble with the brothers again, they would not be able to resist at all. She would only be at ease if she entrusted her to Chen Xiang to take care of them.
Chen Xiang nodded and said, “Don’t worry. Leave the two children with me and let them play with Mingshan.”
Su Li thanked Chen Xiang. “Thank you, Sister.”
After entrusting the two children to Chen Xiang, Su Li walked towards the village entrance.
Sun Yuangui’s carriage was already waiting at the village entrance.
Today happened to be the day of the market. It was very eye-catching when such a majestic carriage was parked at the entrance of the village.
“What day is it today? Why is there a carriage so early in the morning? This is the first time I’ve seen a carriage come to our village.”
Another person said proudly, “This is not the first time I’ve seen it. Last time, I saw a carriage parked at the entrance of our village. I heard that it was going to look for Wang Chunhua. At that time, she even bragged to me for a long time.” “Really? Really? Tell me, how did Wang Chunhua know these nobles?”
Everyone looked at that person with gossipy expressions, wanting to hear the latest news from her.
That person said proudly, “I heard that it was her eldest son that knew the noble. Her son has even done the noble a favor. The last time he came, he bought her a bunch of gifts. I’ve never seen those pastries before.”
As soon as he finished speaking, traces of envy flashed across some of their faces, and traces of disdain flashed across the faces of the others.
“Why do you think Wang Chunhua’s life is so good? Not only did she build a brick house, but she also earns seven taels of silver every month. She won’t have to worry about food and drinks for the rest of her life!”
“We can’t compare to her. The third son of hers is extraordinarily good at hunting.”
At this point, everyone fell silent!
That’s right. He Yufeng was famous for hunting. It was not that there were no other hunters in the village, but when others went to the mountains, they usually only caught some rabbits and pheasants. It would be a miracle if they could manage to catch a wild boar once a year.
However, looking at He Yufeng. Hunting wild boars was a common occurrence. Sometimes, he could even hunt bears.
Comparisons were really infuriating!
While everyone was discussing, Su Li arrived.
Everyone glanced at Su Li from the corner of their eyes before continuing to mutter.
Su Li didn’t mind and walked towards the carriage.
“Hey. what are you doing? Is that a place you can go?”
A mean-looking woman called out to Su Li. She felt that Su Li was walking towards the carriage to build a relationship with them.
Su Li turned around in confusion and frowned at the woman in front of her. “What’s the matter?”
The woman rolled her eyes at Su Li and said, “Why are you getting into their carriage? Don’t embarrass us. If people don’t know better, they will think that everyone in our He Family Village is like you.”
Su Li glanced at her and said, “Does the carriage belong to your family? Is there a need for you to shout here? The owner of the carriage hasn’t even come out to speak, yet you’re here poking your nose into other people’s business. I think you’re the shameless one.”
This woman had a good relationship with Wang Chunhua. Usually, when she saw Su Li, she would try her best to mock her. After that, she would return to Wang Chunhua to claim credit. She would never give someone like Su Li any face.
The woman choked and said with her hands on her hips, “I kindly reminded you, but you didn’t appreciate it. Why don’t you take a piss and see what kind of person you are? You want to climb up the carriage when you see it? Pfft, ugly people are indeed more troublesome.”
Su Li said coldly, “You’re not ugly. Your butt is even smoother than your face. Anyone who sees it would want to touch it.”
“Also, if you have the time to meddle in other people’s business, why don’t you wear your clothes properly? I’ve already seen your undergarments. Last time, I saw Er Mazi drooling over you. Although you’re ugly, you’re still an old woman!”
The woman was shocked and really thought that she was not wearing her clothes properly. She subconsciously lowered her head to check her chest. When she realized that her clothes were neat, she heaved a sigh of relief and realized that Su Li had tricked her.
The woman gritted her teeth and said, “B*tch, are you toying with me?”
Su Li raised her eyebrows. “I’m indeed tricking a b*tch.”
Just as the woman and Su Li were arguing, Sun Ming ran over from afar.
Just now, his stomach was a little uncomfortable. He saw that it was still a little early, so he thought Su Li wouldn’t come over so quickly. Hence, he found a hidden place to settle it. Unexpectedly, he heard the sound of an argument the moment he returned.
Su Li said to Sun Ming, “It’s alright. Can we leave now?”
“Of course. Ms. Su, please!” Sun Ming made an inviting gesture at Su Li.
The woman at the side did not expect Su Li to know the owner of the carriage. For a moment, it was as if she had eaten something that she could not spit out or swallow. When she heard Sun Ming address her as a Ms., she felt that Su Li was lying. How could a married person be addressed as a Ms.?
“You call her Ms.? Don’t be fooled by her. She’s already married and has two children. You’d better stay away from such a woman.”
After saying that, the woman even looked at Su Li smugly, as if she had exposed Su Li’s huge scheme.
Su Li looked at the woman mockingly before turning around and getting into the carriage..
