94 Face Hurts
“My eldest daughter-in-law has good news,” Zhao Lanhua said happily. “Brother Dazhuang, don’t stand on ceremony. Eat more!”
Shen Dazhuang was Shen Dashan’s neighbor, and his wife, Guihua, was famous for her big mouth!
Zhao Lanhua wanted to use Sister Guihua’s mouth to crazily slap certain people’s faces!
After all, the fact that Eldest Sister-in-law Shen had been married to Eldest Brother Shen for many years and had yet to get pregnant had once been the topic of conversation for many gossipy women.
Now that Eldest Sister-in-law Shen was finally pregnant, Zhao Lanhua naturally had to vent her anger!
After lunch, Ji Zhao brought the incense paper to the Earth Temple again.
“If it wasn’t for you letting me know about everything in advance, I’m afraid the consequences would be unimaginable…” Ji Zhao, who was kneeling on the praying mat piously, thanked him gratefully. “Earth God, thank you!”
After carefully cleaning the entire temple, Ji Zhao left.
When she walked out, a broad and tall back suddenly came into view.
Shen Yao slowly walked up to her and thanked her gratefully.
Without waiting for Ji Zhao to speak, he bent down and walked into the temple. He lit an incense stick and placed it in the incense burner.
“Thank you, Earth God!”
After leaving the Earth Temple, the two of them were not in a hurry to go home. Instead, they walked on the narrow field together.
The summer afternoon wind carried a hint of heat as it blew past the faces of the people walking, leaving no trace.
Ji Zhao thought that Shen Yao would question her, but to her surprise, he did not ask a single question.
Only then did Ji Zhao heave a sigh of relief.
“Shen Yao, look at the people over there. What are they doing?” Ji Zhao asked curiously when she saw the figures lying on the paddy field from afar.
“Catching rice eels.”
“Rice eels?” Ji Zhao’s eyes lit up. “The taste of stir-fried rice eel is not bad!”
“Shall we go and take a look too?”
“Sure!” Ji Zhao readily agreed.
When the two of them approached, they realized that the dark brown figure was actually an ‘acquaintance’.
“Cripple, you’re here to join in the fun too?” Shen Lang, who had caught a rice eel, got up from the ground nimbly. The smile on his face was filled with pride.
“It’s a clumsy and childish lack of personality to casually give others nicknames.” Ji Zhao frowned unhappily. “If you call my husband a cripple in the future, I’ll make everyone call you a bed-wetting brat!”
“You!” After being rebuked, Shen Lang really wanted to slap her. However, he did not forget that he had suffered at the hands of this woman last time. “You win!”
“Can you lend me the hook to try?” Shen Yao did not care about those nicknames. After all, it was a fact that his leg was crippled. However, when he felt Ji Zhao’s affection for him, a warm current seemed to surge into his heart. It was warm and comfortable.
“How strange. You’re asking me to lend you a tool? Why should I lend it to you?” Shen Lang crossed his arms arrogantly and asked proudly.
“You can have as many of my mother’s osmanthus cakes as you want.”
When Shen Lang heard the words osmanthus cake, he immediately cowered.
He obediently handed the thin hook attached to the bait to Shen Yao.
“Fishing rice eels is not an easy task. Do you think everyone is as lucky as me?”
“The rice eel my husband catches will definitely be bigger than the one you caught!”
“Tch~”
Shen Lang rolled his eyes in annoyance. However, fifteen minutes later, when he saw the rice eel that Shen Yao had caught, he suddenly felt his face hurt!
