340 The Girl in the Snow
Old Madam Wang rolled her eyes. “Do you think my family are beggars? Who cares about your fruits? It’s not like our family doesn’t have fruits!”
“Forget it if you don’t want it. Give it back to me!” Third Aunt Hu said and wanted to snatch it back.
“How can you snatch something back that’s given to others? It’s just a bunch of sour fruits, yet you still treat it as a treasure.”
Although she said that, Old Madam Wang accepted the fruits.
Seeing that her expression had improved, Third Aunt Hu leaned over again. “Hey, Donkey Zhang, what are your plans? Your daughter is just staying at home and not getting married?”
Old Madam Wang did not say anything.
“There’s a kid at my maternal family’s side. He’s already 25 years old this year. He wasn’t married before, but he was once engaged. Later on, that girl ran away with someone and even spread rumors about him outside, so the marriage was delayed. That kid is a good kid. He’s sincere and hardworking. When he was young, he even learned from a carpenter for a period of time. Now, he knows some carpentry work and has some assets of his own. It won’t be a problem for him to support his family in the future,” Third Aunt Hu said as she looked at Old Madam Wang’s expression. “I’m not here to be a matchmaker. I’m just telling you that there’s such a person. Think about it yourself.”
Because she had something on her mind, Old Madam Wang did not retort.
As she thought about it, Old Madam Wang walked out and happened to meet Wang Dalang, who was about to go out. She handed him the fruits and asked him to bring it back first.
Wang Dalang quickly brought the fruit basket home, and Old Madam Wang went outside.
“Donkey Zhang, what do you think? Say something.” Third Aunt Hu followed.
“I don’t have much thoughts,” Old Madam Wang said casually. “Flower Jiang, I’m very busy every day. I don’t have time to argue with you now.”
Third Aunt Hu: “! It turns out that you didn’t listen to a single word I said. Who’s talking nonsense with you! Forget it, forget it. Just treat it as me being a busybody. Go and worry about yourself!”
She shouldn’t have seen Donkey Zhang’s eyes turn red and thought that she was unhappy.
Even if everyone in the world died from crying. Zhang Donkey probably wouldn’t shed a single tear.
She was really stupid to sympathize with Donkey Zhang.
Third Aunt Hu was furious and wanted to go home. Halfway home, she suddenly saw someone lying in the Qin family’s courtyard.
Between the Wang Family and Third Aunt Hu’s house was Qin Huai’s house.
Originally, the agreement reached in the village with Qin Huai was that once he left the village, the house would belong to the village.
However, every family in the village now had houses to live in. The villagers also remembered how Qin Huai had helped everyone when he lived here.
Therefore, everyone occasionally came to help clean the courtyard.
Chi Tu and the others had been living here recently.
“Then why is there a girl?” Third Aunt Hu saw a girl lying in the courtyard at a glance. The dress she was wearing was a little conspicuous.
When Old Madam Wang heard her words, she walked over skeptically.
As expected, she saw someone lying in Qin Huai’s courtyard.
Last night, some snowflakes floated down. Chi Tu and the other burly men had no intention of cleaning the courtyard at all. They had gone to guard Ah Yu before dawn.
They did not know that there would be someone in the courtyard.
No matter how thick the clothes were, it was bone-chilling to lie in the snow.
Moreover, from afar, the girl’s clothes were not thick.
“What a sin. Which family’s daughter ran out!” Third Aunt Hu was a little puzzled. “She doesn’t look like she’s from our village.”
Old Madam Wang opened the fence outside and walked into the courtyard. Her expression changed slightly.
“It’s actually her.”
