"Ah? Wasn’t Uncle Number Two going to handle this? Why is his wife still making a fuss?"
"My dad has been out lately, he isn’t at ho," said Wang Pingtao. Otherwise, his mother wouldn’t be causing trouble now. She was thinking about using the ti when his dad was away to break him and his wife up, then taking the opportunity to make him marry Xiaoqing. By the ti his dad returned, it would be a done deal, beyond changing.
"So where did Uncle Number Two go, and when will he be back?"
At this mont, Ye Zi’an was incredibly sympathetic to his cousin. Having a mother like that was truly awful. Every wife has her own feelings, yet his mother insisted on breaking them apart. That old lady really had a problem with her mind.
"Your Uncle Number Two, he won’t be back until sumr. He said there’s road construction at the county governnt office, they provide wages and cover food and lodging, so he went there."
Ms. Wang then said, "Your Uncle Number Two is also soone who can’t stay idle. He always wants to work. He was even reluctant to go help out at the shop when your dad asked him to."
"Wasn’t Uncle Number Two in partnership with Uncle Number One doing so business? Why isn’t he doing that anymore?" Yang Chuxia rembered it that way. The two families would trade goods from other places and sell them in Quanya, making so silver throughout the year. Why would Uncle Number Two need to go out and work?
Hearing his family’s matters being discussed, Wang Pingtao said, "The business is all being taken care of by my eldest uncle’s family. Ours doesn’t handle it anymore, we just get so silver each year. When I’m at ho, I go with Eldest Uncle to trade goods. My dad is soone who can’t stay still. Whenever he finishes the household chores, he looks for work wherever it’s available."
"I see."
"Yes!" Speaking of this, Wang Pingtao was truly frustrated. "I didn’t know he was leaving, otherwise, I wouldn’t have let him go no matter what. Once he left, my mother started her antics. She even brought Xiaoqing ho and is trying every day to couple us together. It’s so annoying."
"That’s not right, cousin!" Yang Chuxia laughed. "I clearly rember you used to like Qian Xiaoqing, so why do you feel this aversion now?"
She rembered that when they were younger, it was said that Wang Pingtao himself liked Qian Xiaoqing, and that’s why Ms. Liu of Wang Family didn’t stop Ms. Qian of Wang Family from wanting to marry Qian Xiaoqing to Wang Pingtao.
"Hey, big cousin, don’t tease about that, okay? Wasn’t that just being young and ignorant?" Wang Pingtao felt quite embarrassed when he brought up the past.
"That’s right, you little devil, why bring up the past?" Ms. Wang also spoke up. "Let’s go eat first, we can chat slowly after eating."
But what she hadn’t expected was that Ms. Qian of Wang Family was so persistent. It seed she had calculated that Wang Pingtao would co to Yangshu Village, and sure enough, the next afternoon, she arrived at Yangshu Village with Qian Xiaoqing.
Having not seen Qian Xiaoqing for many years, Yang Chuxia was surprisingly find that Qian Xiaoqing hadn’t changed much from before, and didn’t have any of the worn looks of a widow.
Oh, but that was wrong; this girl has always been fierce. Marrying a disabled man in replacent marriage, she probably couldn’t wait for him to die early, so why would she feel worn out by it?
Qian Xiaoqing was also surprised to see Yang Chuxia. She had always heard that Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an had gone to take up positions, and didn’t expect her to be back now.
If she had known, she wouldn’t have co, to avoid Yang Chuxia seeing her and laughing.
"Qian Xiaoqing, long ti no see!" It was customary to greet an acquaintance when one t them.
"Hehe," Qian Xiaoqing laughed but didn’t speak, just stood behind Ms. Qian of Wang Family.
However, Ms. Qian of Wang Family had always harbored grievances against Yang Chuxia for not helping Wang Yunlian with the selection process in the past and was quite displeased with Yang Chuxia.
