046 Offensive

He heard the same thing. Everyone in the second family knew who they were, and they might actually be able to do such a thing. However, she was still angry because Xi Niang kept saying that Mei Niang stole the cow.

But then I thought, if Xi Niang had evidence that Mei Niang had stolen the cow, then the family would have come to the door a long time ago, and how could they still be so quiet? It was simply because of his guilty conscience.

After dinner, He moved two more quilts and asked Yun Laosan to send them over.

The two men came back in a hurry, and besides one person and one horse, they only brought a few clothes with them.

Although it was very hot during the day, the spring cold was still very severe at night. Without bedding, you would inevitably catch a cold. What's more, according to Yun Laosan's words, Uncle Jiang was still ill.

Yun Laosan couldn't carry two beddings by himself, so he asked Mei Niang to carry them there with him.

Mei Niang felt awkward when she thought of that man's gaze, but she couldn't tell him, so after being urged twice, she accepted her fate and sent Yun Laosan over with the quilt in her arms.

Even though they are neighbors, the two families are nearly 100 meters apart. Baohe Village is a vast area with few people, so every household does not have to be crowded together, and the yard can be much larger, making it really spacious to live in.

The Jiang family's house has been deserted for more than thirty years. It was not a good and solid house in the first place, but now it is even more dilapidated. The mud-plastered walls have cracked several holes, and the roof is leaking in many places.

How can people live in this house?

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw the man squatting under the eaves on the mountain, holding a cattail leaf fan and fanning fiercely at the small clay stove. On top of the clay stove was a pot for boiling medicine, which was puffing.

heat.

The whole yard was filled with a bitter medicinal smell.

The spring reds picked in the mountains were dried on a robe spread on the ground.

The man was still dressed as he was on the mountain, with a stern and focused expression, but he turned his head and looked at the father and daughter as soon as they entered the hospital, his eyes so cold that they seemed to freeze them.

When he recognized Yun Laosan, his expression softened and he said, "Uncle is here."

The low and clear voice was very nice, and it made Mei Niang's heart feel itchy as if something had scratched her heart.

However, after he finished speaking, that glance that seemed intentional or unintentional made Mei Niang tremble all over and almost run away.

That look was really...meaningful.

Yun Laosan didn't seem to realize it, grinning and said: "I'm not afraid that you two will not be covered by quilts at night, so I sent two beds to use first."

The man thanked him, took the quilt from Yun Laosan's hand with one arm, and looked at Mei Niang. Mei Niang was stunned for a while before she realized that he wanted her to pass over the quilt in her hand.

At that time, the quilts in the farmhouse were all made of pure cotton batting. They were thick, heavy and solid. One quilt weighed more than 20 kilograms. Two beds with quilts and mattresses were heavy and took up space. Otherwise, Mei Niang would not have helped.

I brought it over, but I didn't expect that the man could easily hold it with his other arm.

At this time, Yun Laosan introduced the two of them: "This is my uncle's daughter Meiniang, your sister Meiniang."

Then he pointed at the man and said, "This is your Uncle Jiang's son. His name is Chu Ye. From now on, you can call him Brother Chu Ye."

Mei Niang called out obediently: "Brother Chu Ye."

Jiang Chuye also nodded and called out: "Mei Niang...sister."

After that, he turned around and sent the quilt back.

Seeing the relaxed and steady steps, Yun Laosan nodded, "A good young man. If he has some strength, he will be a good farmer."

Mei Niang's face twitched. She really didn't understand how her father could tell that he was a good farmer, just because he had strength?

His temperament doesn't look like someone digging in the soil, and he still hesitates whether he recognizes the seedlings.

There was also an obvious disconnect when he called Mei Niang... a girl. Did he not want to call her or did he disdain to call her? Mei Niang felt that she was born to be at odds with Jiang Chuye.
