Chapter 190: Chapter 186: Nobody Gets to Be Idle

Having schemed against Zhou Wei, Xiao Chenye started thinking about how to deal with Matchmaker Zhou on the way home.

This old hag, her thoughts are extremely malicious.

She’s been a matchmaker for so many years, always smiling, but who would have known her heart was so black.

If it weren’t for his mother being so supportive, his wife might have already run away.

And then he’d be stuck with one who is sweet outwardly but vicious inside; where would he find justice?

However…

Xiao Chenye’s eyes flickered, suddenly realizing that since Matchmaker Zhou can be biased about his matters, she might also ruin others’ lifelong affairs for her selfish desires.

Nope, I need to ask around when I get home.

I have to tear off this old hag’s facade and stomp it on the ground.

Thinking about this, Xiao Chenye felt even more motivated. But with money in his pocket and things on his back, as soon as he got home, Mrs. Xiao chased him out of the house with a shoe, two miles away.

Xiao Chenye: “?”

He ran away, covering his head, “Mom! Mom! What evil thing did I do again? Why do you hit me without saying a word? Ow~ it hurts!”

Mrs. Xiao, while hitting her son, cautiously glanced at Wen Ran, still cursing, “Useless thing, what’s the point of having you?

Usually nowhere to be found, it’s okay if you’re not around when something happens. Even today, when you’re home, you’re still nowhere to be found when something goes wrong!”

Wen Ran understood clearly, this was Mrs. Xiao afraid she would resent Xiao Chenye, so she was venting for Wen Ran.

In other words…

The mother and son were putting on a show for her.

Oh well~

Forget it, forget it.

Wen Ran laughed, “Aunt, stop hitting him, Chenye isn’t someone who doesn’t know his priorities; if he went out today, there must be a reason.

Besides, I wasn’t at a disadvantage, the team leader was protecting me.”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xiao felt guilty, “It’s all my fault, you tell me, why did I have to go home early to cook mung bean soup, why not later or earlier, but at that moment.

Now look, you ran into that crazy woman from the team.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay, I didn’t suffer at all.”

After Wen Ran persuaded her several times, Mrs. Xiao finally threw the shoe aside, muttering, “Looks like you were lucky.”

Xiao Chenye held his basket pitifully, “Ranran…”

Mrs. Xiao walked away, and Wen Ran changed her expression.

“Ranran, Ran your big-headed ghost, where were you earlier? Can’t you handle some things?”

Xiao Chenye: “…”

He was dumbfounded, how could women have two faces?

“Wasn’t I thinking of going to the county to get you something to eat?”

“Where is the food?”

“Here, it’s all here, don’t be mad, it’s my fault I wasn’t here this time, I promise I’ll be here early next time.”

“Tsk~”

Wen Ran didn’t expect much from him anyway.

Whatever happens, dealing with it herself gives her peace of mind.

Of course, that’s Wen Ran’s inner thoughts, she certainly can’t say it out loud.

Mrs. Xiao came out of the kitchen, “Oh, Fifth, your brother named Gao Le brought the bricks over today.”

“What?”

Xiao Chenye was surprised by the speed of Cuihua Team, paused for a moment, “Then where is he?”

“He left, said he had things to do at noon and will bring another load in the evening. I saved some food, so don’t wander around tonight.”

“Okay!”

Having not seen his brother in a while, Xiao Chenye thought just having dinner would be a bit dry, he might as well go out and get some old wine.

Wen Ran wasn’t interested in this, she took Hetao and wandered to the creek to see Bao Wenxuan releasing ducks.

Ducks change every day.

Bao Wenxuan got along well with the old couple who released ducks together, both were very attentive caretakers.

The ducks grew quite plump and healthy.

Of course, they were still in an awkward period and looked ugly.

Wen Ran took a small net, stood by the creek to catch snails.

Whether smashed and taken back to feed chickens, or picked out and stir-fried with garlic sprouts and chili, the little flavor was truly unique.

“Why do you eat these,” looking at the basket of snails Wen Ran caught, Bao Wenxuan was disdainful, “Cooked they’re like strips of leather, hard to chew, and so small.”

Wen Ran rolled her eyes, retorted, “That’s because you don’t know how to eat them!”

“Hey!” Bao Wenxuan was unconvinced, “You say it’s delicious, then you gotta prove it to me.”

“Easy, stop idling, help catch some with me, once cleaned, I’ll make a dish that’ll open everyone’s eyes.”

“Sure!”

Working naturally involves chatting, otherwise, there’s no energy to work.

“Hey, by the way, are you really planning to marry Xiao Chenye?”

“Of course, everything’s set, the house is being built urgently, why not get married.”

Let alone Xiao Chenye being good-looking and capable of earning money.

Bao Wenxuan sighed, smacking his lips, lamenting, “If I could meet someone like that, I’d get married too.”

“Hahaha, what, you got tempted?”

“Not really,” Bao Wenxuan laughed, “I’m just saying, rather than settling down in the countryside, I still want to return to the county.”

She felt that the reinstatement of the college entrance exam was imperative.

Currently, the county seemed increasingly relaxed, she felt the exam was near.

“Hey, by the way, do you remember Zhang Sisi?”

Zhang Sisi?

The one who went to the countryside with her, often accused others of selfishness while trying to take advantage?

“Uh, I vaguely remember, why?”

Since realizing Wen Ran was not to be messed with, although the knowledge youth in the courtyard were lively, at least they didn’t dare bounce around in front of Wen Ran.

“Don’t mention it, yesterday she came to my house looking for me, said she was getting married and wanted me to contribute money.”

Wen Ran: “…”

She was incredulous, “Uh, you guys still keep in touch? Have a good relationship? Good enough to give money for her wedding?”

Bao Wenxuan rolled her eyes, “No way, when we meet at work, we just roll our eyes at each other.”

Thinking of this, Bao Wenxuan got angrier, “You tell me, is Zhang Sisi crazy, you obviously hit her and struck her, yet she holds grudges against me.

She’s like a mouse seeing a cat when she sees you, avoids you.

Even if she runs into you halfway, she tries to reduce her presence, fearing you’d notice, but when it comes to me?”

Seeing Bao Wenxuan so indignant, Wen Ran laughed heartily, “Hahaha, there’s no way, if you had my assertiveness, she would fear you too.”

Bao Wenxuan waved her hand, “No way, if I fought her, it’d be fifty-fifty, not worth it.”

She was full of envy, “But you’re different, you win overwhelmingly no matter who you face, she definitely bullies the weak and fears the strong.”

In other words, Bao Wenxuan figured it out.

“By the way,” Wen Ran was curious, “who is she marrying?”

“I think it’s someone living in the west end of the team,” Bao Wenxuan wasn’t sure, “I just remember that family’s surname is Liu, outsiders who moved in a few years ago.”

“Wow, you remember it quite clearly.”

“It’s not that I remember clearly, it’s just that this family… is delicate to talk about.”
