Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 318 Zhang Shuanzi

"Wen He, why are you sitting here?"

She looked back and saw it was Zhang Qiu'e.

"Aunt Zhang, why are you going to the mountains to look for wild vegetables at noon?"

"I don't want to stay at home." He sat down not far from her.

Ji Wenhe asked, "Did Uncle Xing go to work in town?"

"No, the people who are going back to Zhangjia Village have made an appointment to leave together tomorrow morning."

"Where's Wang Fei?"

"He left after planting the rice seedlings and didn't say when he would be back."

She thought it would be best to come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, as it was not easy to travel back and forth between the town and the village.

Zhang Qiu'e glanced at her and said, "I think your house will be completed in two or three months. Why don't you move in after it's completed?"

"After we finish building it, we can move in. There's no rush now anyway. It's cooler to live in a cave."

"That's right. Your family will have a better life in the future."

Ji Wenhe heard her sigh softly and turned to look at her: "What's wrong, Aunt Zhang, are you unhappy?"

She shook her head and said, "My daughter is married now. I am worried and don't know when I can find a wife."

"Aunt Zhang, don't worry. Wang Fei just had his birthday. He's fourteen years old. It won't be too late to look for a marriage partner next year."

Zhang Qiu'e said helplessly: "Your uncle Xing saw that your house was well built, so he wanted to demolish his house and build a house just like yours."

"If I have enough money, I can build a new house so that when Wang Fei has children in the future, they won't have to live in the same room."

She shook her head: "How can I have so much money? After Wang Fei got married, I have nothing left. Your uncle Xing is just thinking about it. He doesn't even check if there is enough money at home."

Seeing other people’s houses built beautifully, I also want to rebuild my own house.

I never thought about what to do when my son gets married after the house is built.

"Aunt Zhang, I think that if you want to build a new house, it's fine. Why not wait until Wang Fei gets married, save some money, and then build a new house. Right now, marrying a daughter-in-law is definitely more important."

He Yuxiang's three sons had come to her before and asked her to build the same house in the same style as their own.

In addition to the place they live in now, their family also has three residential plots that they purchased not long ago and are next to the house.

"It depends on what your uncle Xing thinks. He won't listen to me. If he builds a new house and can't afford to marry his daughter-in-law, he will regret it."

She has no say in the family.

Zhang Qiu'e thought about it and decided that she would have to talk to her son when he came back. She couldn't let his father tear down the house and rebuild it.

The two chatted for a while and then stood up to say goodbye to each other.

As the sun was setting, Ji Wenhe put on a straw hat, took a sickle, and continued to cut grass in the wasteland.

At the end of the month, the four of them took a donkey cart to town.

When they passed by Zhangjia Village, a woman carrying a basket on her back waved to them and asked to take a ride to the town.

Shen Ping turned around and looked: "Isn't this Wang Ruhua? She's such a big mouth. She only listens to what you say and then tells others right away."

"I'll take your car to town. Is it two cents for a round trip?"

Ji Wenhe nodded: "Yes, Aunt Wang, please come up."

"Hey." He sat down next to her, "Where should I wait for you when you come back?"

"We're outside the town. We'll come out and wait for you. You come out and wait for us. We bought a lot of things, so we might be late."

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry, you guys take your time." Wang Ruhua took out two coins from her purse, "Here, take it."

"Aunt Wang, I'm welcome."

"Hey, take it." He stuffed the money into her hand with a smile.

She is a very outgoing person and can chat with anyone.

"I've never seen you wandering around our village. Is it because of Liu Erfang and the others? I'm afraid it would be difficult to talk to you if we meet."

Ji Wenhe shook his head: "No, I'm very busy at home and don't have time to go around other villages."

Wang Ruhua glanced at her with a look of disbelief: "You are busy. How can you be busy from the moment you open your eyes until you go to bed at night?"

She smiled awkwardly: "The main reason is that there is no one I know in Zhangjia Village and I can't talk to anyone, so I didn't come to your village to play."

"When Liu Erfang went to your house to make trouble, I followed her. I didn't expect you to be so powerful. She was a very difficult person in our village, but you managed to subdue her."

It’s strange to say, but with Liu Erfang’s personality, he wouldn’t be easily frightened when being chased by someone with a sickle. He would definitely cause trouble for their family again.

But after waiting for a long time, I didn't hear any noise.

Wang Ruhua nudged her lightly with her arm and asked mysteriously, "Tell me, did Liu Erfang come to your house later? I married into the village with her, and I know what kind of person she is."

"How could she be frightened by you holding a sickle? Did she come to your family to cause trouble later? What method did you use to scare her? Tell aunt, if I quarrel with them in the future, I will use your method too."

"Aunt Wang, I really didn't use any method to scare her. As for why Aunt Liu didn't cause trouble for our family, maybe she felt guilty and knew it was her son's fault, so she didn't continue to cause trouble for us."

"Come on, she is the kind of person who thinks whatever her son does is right. Asking her to admit that her son is wrong is worse than believing that your pig can climb a tree."

Ji Wenhe chuckled: "Aunt Wang, it's all in the past. Our two families are not far away. It would be awkward to make too much of a fuss when we meet."

"Hey, Zhang Shuanzi, you know he also beat your brother-in-law. He bought a wife yesterday and ran away at night."

He turned to look at her: "Buying a wife?"

Wang Ruhua nodded: "Yes, I heard that the village is far away and it takes more than three hours to get there by donkey cart."

"The villagers still want to capture the girl back?" she asked.

"Where are we going to catch her? We don't know when she ran away, but it was last night. We only found her missing this morning. And where are you going to catch her? Who knows where she ran to?"

"And the people in our village don't want to meddle in their family's affairs. The girl is a hot-tempered person. She was tied back on the donkey cart and locked in the house."

"We heard it all from outside the yard. They smashed everything in the house. The two men failed to hold the girl down, and Zhang Shuanzi was even kicked... once."

At that time, the man was rolling on the ground, sweating all over, and he didn't know if he was hurt or not.

Ji Wenhe admired this girl: "Marrying into a family like this may not necessarily bring happiness in the future."

Wang Ruhua echoed: "This girl is tall, probably..."

She turned around and looked at Shen Wenshan: "As tall as your uncle."

Shen Wenshan is 1.75 meters tall.

"Wow, he's so tall. I remember Zhang Shuanzi was not tall." She had seen him once.

"I'm not as tall as the girl. Standing in front of her, I'm a head shorter."

Ji Wenhe asked, "What happened next? The girl ran away. They must have been unwilling to accept that."

"How can I accept this? I spent three taels of silver, but I didn't see anyone when I woke up early in the morning. I looked around the house but couldn't find anyone."

Wang Ruhua laughed a few times and continued.
