Chapter 148: Sitting at the most gossipy table

After seeing off the last person, they packed up and prepared to go home.

"Mom, sister-in-law, please come back with us to eat."

"No, no, no, Yulian has left some food for you, you should go back and eat." The old lady waved her hand, not wanting to go.

"How can you not go? We have prepared some for you at home, and it's still warm. From now on, just tell Yulian that you can eat at our house when you work with us."

"No, no!" Now even Li Shuhua began to refuse.

"Why not?"

"We are working here, you are already taking care of us, how can we have the nerve to go to your house for dinner."

The old lady looked at her eldest daughter-in-law with new eyes. She usually said nothing but said such words today.

"Sister-in-law, you help us with the work, and we pay you. Isn't that just the right thing to do? How can you say you are taking care of us?"

The old lady and Li Shuhua still shook their heads firmly and refused to go.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin also knew what they were thinking. The old lady and Li Shuhua were too aware of their boundaries. They knew that even though they were a family, they were still separated and it was not good for them to always go to their house.

This is indeed the truth. The sense of boundaries is a mysterious thing. If it is too far, it seems not very close, but if it is too close, it feels offensive.

Since they didn't want to go, the two of them didn't force them.

"That's fine, then we'll leave you alone. You've worked hard today, so go back and eat early."

The two families parted at the door and walked towards their own homes.

The sun had just set, and there was still a ray of light on the horizon; it wasn't dark yet.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were walking home together, looking at the surrounding fields, the distant mountains and the houses with smoke rising from them, walking slowly and suddenly they felt like they were just going home from get off work.

Turning the corner of the yard, Duan Minmin suddenly noticed out of the corner of her eye that there seemed to be someone standing at the gate of Chen Fangping's yard.

I thought maybe a villager had forgotten something, so I turned around to ask, but when I looked closely, there was nothing.

"What's the matter?"

Duan Minmin suddenly turned around, and Zheng Yuan also looked over, but saw nothing.

"I seemed to see someone standing at the gate of the yard just now, but when I turned around, I saw nothing. Could it be that I have become nearsighted after writing a few words today?" Duan Minmin rubbed her eyes.

"Oh my god, don't scare me." Zheng Yuan immediately stuck to Duan Minmin, "I'm not a staunch materialist fighter. Besides, this house is a bit weird, is there really anything wrong?"

"That's not the case. Didn't we analyze it last time? It was probably a man-made disaster. Maybe I was just dazzled and saw it wrong. Let's not scare ourselves. Let's go. We are hungry."

Although Duan Minmin said this, she was a little nervous. The two of them stopped talking tacitly and walked home faster.

The meal was ready and the children were waiting for them in the yard, practicing with their brushes.

Seeing the two men rushing in as if they were being chased by a dog, and slamming the door shut, several children gathered around them out of curiosity.

"What's the matter, mother? Did the village chief's daughter Hua Niu chase you away?" Erhebian said while stretching his head to look outside.

The two didn't want to tell the children and scare them, so they just shook their heads and said it was nothing, they were just hungry.

Hearing the two say they were hungry, the children didn't ask any more questions and followed them into the kitchen.

Tao'er's cooking skills are getting better and better. She picked out some of the things that people on the street gave her yesterday and made a full table of food.

After eating the delicious dinner, the fear in their hearts finally subsided a lot and they calmed down.

If the figure we saw today was not a ghost, then it could only be the person behind the tragedy in Chen Fangping's family who was playing tricks. In that case, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Just looking at this, this person came for this house. If they want to stay in it smoothly until the new factory is built, they will face this trouble, and there is no guarantee that something will go wrong at any time.

If it's just to scare people, there's nothing to be afraid of. At most, they come in groups every time, so I don't think they dare to do anything.

I’m afraid he’ll do something shady and something drastic.

It seems that they still have to go to the village chief's house tomorrow to ask him how much he knows about this house so that they can think of a way to deal with it.

That night, thinking about the factory's affairs, both of them did not sleep well.

At dawn the next day, the two got up and ran to the factory. Fortunately, nothing happened.

When the two men walked in from the door with dark circles under their eyes and yawning, they scared the children.

"Mom, are you sick?" Xing'er walked forward worriedly and wanted to touch their foreheads.

Duan Minmin let her explore it for a while.

"It's okay. We didn't sleep well because we were thinking about the factory. It's nothing serious."

The children felt a little ashamed for a moment. Their two mothers were so worried about these things that they couldn't sleep. They were not able to do anything and could only sleep soundly at night.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin didn’t know what the kids were thinking, so they went into the kitchen to see how breakfast was prepared.

Now Zheng Yuan has basically let go completely, and the entire kitchen has been handed over to Taoer. He only does it himself when he wants to make something new.

"Big Tree Mother, Peach Mother! Are you home?"

Just when I was feeling drowsy from the dense steam in the kitchen, I heard shouting outside.

The two of them suddenly came to their senses and walked out of the kitchen.

It turned out to be Li Bianchun’s daughter-in-law Zhao.

"I'm at home, sister-in-law, come in and sit down." The two of them went to greet her.

Zhao was probably here to invite them to a banquet, because she had heard at Carpenter Li's house that her son was going to get married on the 28th. But neither of them thought they would come to invite them, after all, their relationship with these people in the village was not very good before, and they had had several frictions with Zhao.

Unexpectedly, she came to my house when the wedding date was almost approaching.

Zhao walked in with a smile, but there was a hint of reluctance and fatigue in that smile.

I just don't know if this sense of reluctance and tiredness is due to having to get up early to hire people, or because preparing for the wedding is too tiring, or something else.

Although the two of them noticed it, they didn't say anything.

"I just went to my sister-in-law's house, and the gate was locked. I guessed that you were all here. Fortunately, I didn't get to see you in vain."

The dead husband of old lady Duan and Zhao are very distant relatives, so Zhao calls Duan Minmin sister-in-law.

"We came early, so you missed the seat. Come and sit down." Duan Minmin brought a stool.

"No, no, I have to go somewhere else." Zhao did not take the stool.

"My good-for-nothing second son finally has a place to stay, so I invite you to my house for a meal and a drink on the 18th, so we can have some fun." Zhao stated the purpose of her visit.

"Oh, this is good news. Where is this girl?"

Although they both knew about this a long time ago, they pretended to hear it for the first time and were happy for her.

"In town." Zhao forced a smile and was unwilling to say more.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin looked at each other. There was a story behind this.

After finishing the conversation, Zhao prepared to go to the next house.

"Eat your meal before you leave, sister-in-law." Zheng Yuan stayed for a moment.

"No, no, remember to come early that day and bring the children with you." As she said this, Zhao ran out of the yard, as if she was afraid that the two men would question her.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin knew that there must be some story behind this. Although they were very curious, they would not ask too much and get to the bottom of it, lest they be disliked.

Anyway, their eighteenth birthday is coming soon, and they are going to have a banquet. It will be their first time to have a banquet after traveling through time, and they are a little excited just thinking about it.

At that time, they will sit at the most gossipy table. Just thinking about it makes me excited.
