Chapter 11

“Girl!”

When Su Li heard Chen Xiang’s voice, she turned around and was about to greet her.

Wang Jinxue did not expect Su Li to suddenly turn around. Before she could retract her outstretched hand, her hand was forcefully placed in front of Su Li.

Su Li looked at the hands in front of her and her eyes turned cold.

She extracted information about Wang Jinxue from her mind.

Wang Jinxue was also Wang Chunhua’s niece from her maternal family. Wang Jinxue was eloquent and sweet-tongued. She was usually doted on by Wang Chunhua.

Wang Jinxue’s appearance was average, but her entire person was small and exquisite. Furthermore, she had curves, the right parts of her body protruding and perky. At this moment, she stood in front of Su Li, making Su Li look even larger!

However, such a figure was not likable in the countryside. After all, she looked like she could not lift anything on her shoulders or carry anything in her hands. She might not be able to do the work at home!

What was the use of men liking her? If her mother-in-law did not like her, she would not even have the chance to enter the house!

As a result, Wang Jinxue couldn’t get married. Good families didn’t like her, but she didn’t like those who liked her. Thus, she dragged it out until she was a big girl. In the end, she was introduced by Wang Chunhua to the hero of the He Family Village, He Dashan.

Su Li looked at Wang Jinxue with a sharp gaze. “Why? Are you trying to murder me?”

Wang Jinxue smiled and retracted her hand. She didn’t look guilty at all.

“Cousin-in-law, you’re thinking too much. I saw a leaf on your shoulder and was about to help you remove it. I didn’t expect you to suddenly turn around.”

Su Li lowered her head and looked at her shoulder. At some point, a leaf had fallen on it.

Could it be that Wang Jinxue really just wanted to help her take the leaf away?

However, judging from her posture just now, she did not look like she was trying to remove a leaf.

“Cousin-in-law, you gave me a fright just now because I almost fell into the river when you suddenly turned around.”

Wang Jinxue directly pushed the blame to Su Li.

Su Li said indifferently, “Don’t be so sneaky next time. I guarantee that you won’t fall into the river.”

In her memory, Wang Jinxue had always been a good person. From time to time, she would “persuade” Su Li to lead a good life. Every time she came, Su Li would kick up a fuss with He Yufeng. It had to be said that Wang Jinxue was really a “qualified” peacemaker!

Most importantly, Su Li felt that Wang Jinxue was a very nice person. She felt that Wang Jinxue was understanding and gentle. She was even willing to share some of the things she bought with her.

Su Li shook her head in her heart. The host was indeed not an ordinary person who could not tell right from wrong!

Wang Jinxue continued, “Cousin-in-law, what are you talking about? I saw you alone by the river. I was afraid that you would jump into the river again, so I quickly came over to take a look.”

“By the way, why did you suddenly go to the river to wash clothes today? Did my cousin force you? It’s not good to touch too much cold water. My cousin is really too much. How can he let a weak woman like you wash so many clothes?”

“Cousin-in-law, don’t be angry. He is just like this. He doesn’t know how to dote on others. A good girl like you would probably be very happy if you didn’t marry him back then!”

“I heard that a particularly good-looking young man from your maternal village who is getting married. What’s his name again? Aiya… Look at my memory. I can’t remember it suddenly!”

“But I’ve heard that his wife is even more beautiful than a fairy from heaven. She’s also tall and fair. The two of them look like a golden couple.”

Su Li looked at Wang Jinxue mockingly and did not interrupt her. She just waited quietly for her to finish her scene.

Someone was putting on a show for her for free. It would be a waste not to watch!

Wang Jinxue felt a little guilty under Su Li’s gaze. She couldn’t help but ask, “Cousin-in-law, why are you looking at me like that?”

“Don’t worry about it. Instead of worrying about other people’s business, you might as well go home and have a child so that your in-laws can have a descendant. Otherwise, how can you face the ancestors of the Dashan family in the future?”

Su Li’s words directly stuck in Wang Jinxue’s throat, and she was so angry that her chest hurt.

Wang Jinxue had been married for a few years, but there was no news from her stomach. Her mother-in-law’s face was getting colder and colder, and the words she usually said to her were harsh.

If not for the fact that He Dashan cherished Wang Jinxue and she had done her best to serve him, her mother-in-law would have kicked her out long ago.

Wang Jinxue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked aggrieved. “Cousin-in-law, your words are too unpleasant. We’re family. Why do you have to rub salt on my wound?”

“You think my words are unpleasant, but I didn’t even pick on what you do!”

Su Li threw the last piece of clothing into the bamboo basket, carried the bamboo basket, and left.

Wang Jinxue looked at Su Li’s back view and gritted her teeth. She wished she could pull Su Li back and throw her into the river.

She felt that Su Li had changed. In the past, no matter what she said, Su Li could only nod and bow. Why did she seem to have been possessed today? Not only did she not listen to her, but she even stabbed her with words!

Su Li walked up to Chen Xiang and asked as she looked at the bucket of water beside her.

“Is your back okay?”

Chen Xiang smiled and shook her head. “It’s just a small injury. We farmers are not that delicate!”

The water vat at home was already empty. If she did not bring the water back, there would be no water to drink at home. If her husband found out, he would definitely come to fetch the water herself.

Chen Xiang thought of He Dahai’s body and could not help but sigh heavily in her heart.

“Thank you for what happened just now,” Su Li said.

If Chen Xiang hadn’t called out to her just now, she would have been pushed into the river by that b*tch Wang Jinxue!

Chen Xiang knew what Su Li was talking about, but she didn’t reply. She didn’t want to say anything about other people’s matters in case she got into trouble!

Chen Xiang glanced at Su Li’s bamboo basket and said, “Have you finished washing your clothes?”

Su Li nodded. “Yes, I’m going home to cook for the children now!”

Chen Xiang smiled and did not say anything. She bent down to pick up the bucket of water on the ground.

As soon as the shoulder pole was placed on her shoulder, Chen Xiang looked a little pained. She gritted her teeth and stood up.

“Ouch!”

Chen Xiang tilted her waist and spilled some water from the bucket. She carefully placed the bucket on the ground.

Seeing Chen Xiang like this, Su Li knew that her waist had been injured again. “Didn’t you go to get the medicine?”

Chen Xiang smiled embarrassedly at her words. “I’m busy at home and can’t leave!”

She didn’t dare to buy the medicine that Su Li had prescribed for her. If she had a problem with it, it wouldn’t be a small matter like a backache!

Moreover, she did not have much money at home. There were places where she could spend money everywhere. She did not know how much it would cost to go to town to see a doctor to get medicine. Her back would be fine if she endured it. It was good to save this money to make clothes for her child in the winter!

When Su Li saw Chen Xiang’s expression, she thought to herself, ‘Why can’t you bear to get the medicine at this stage?’

Su Li then thought of how He Dahai’s family was supported by Chen Xiang alone. It was understandable that she did not go to get the medicine.

“Let me help you!”

As she spoke, Su Li picked up the bucket of water on the ground with a bamboo basket in her hand.

“Sister, you can’t, you can’t!”

Chen Xiang was a little surprised to see Su Li’s actions. Su Li had refreshed her worldview over and over again.
