Chapter 146: Chapter 146 Eunuch The Ugly Freak (2)_1 Chapter 146: Chapter 146 Eunuch The Ugly Freak (2)_1 “Why?” Lanhua couldn’t understand.
Shouldn’t this fiery-tempered woman have grabbed a knife and chopped Lin Siyu to pieces?
Lin Yuan paused her kneading and looked at Lanhua seriously, “If my man could be so easily lured away by her, it would mean that he’s not worth my care in the first place.
Let him be lured away.
If Lin Siyu could do it, sooner or later another woman will lure him away from her, and then she would just become what I used to be—serves her right.
If my man didn’t pay her any attention, then I’d be even less angry.
Coming across a man who’s devoted to me?
I should be happy about that.”
Lanhua blinked and nodded, feeling that Lin Yuan was speaking wisely, although she still didn’t quite get it.
Just as she wanted to compliment her, she heard Lin Yuan casually add, “What’s the point of a woman who gets angry and wails when a man is ensnared by a fox spirit?
If I encounter something like that, I’d pick up a knife and castrate that man, then scar the fox spirit’s face!
A eunuch matched with a hideous creature—it would be the most exceptional pairing in the world!
“Tch.” Mother and daughter Lanhua exchanged glances, shivering at Lin Yuan’s chilling laughter, and secretly prayed that they’d never have to compete with Lin Yuan for a man.
After a whole day of hustle and bustle, the remaining mooncakes were also finished, and there was even some surplus dough and filling.
Lin Yuan simply baked them too, sending six to Lanhua’s house, and another six to Sister Guizhi’s place.
Tomorrow, when Liuzi came to pull tofu, he could take a few to Lao Fan, as a token of appreciation for the help provided over the regular bickering—even though they often quarreled, it was a festival after all, so it was nice to send some mooncakes to show her goodwill.
Of course, their own family kept some as well; with Xiao Linshuang, the glutton, around, not keeping some was just impossible.
The next morning Liuzi arrived early, driving the cart not only to collect tofu but also bringing her various provisions, like rice and flour, along with some pork.
But what thrilled her the most was the pregnant ewe that was almost ready to give birth.
Lin Yuan felt the ewe’s belly, estimating it would be another month or so before she delivered lambs, at which time she could milk the sheep for her mother.
Sheep’s milk was a real treasure; it was given to newborns when they lacked mother’s milk, a much better alternative to formula.
Lin Wei led the ewe over and tied her next to Little Donkey, and then Lin Yuan called for Liuzi to start moving the tofu and mooncakes.
Usually, Liuzi was extremely efficient at work, but today, for some reason, he was unusually careful while handling the tofu, almost to the point of being overly cautious.
It was only after the goods were loaded and Lin Yuan climbed onto the cart that she realized there was someone else already sitting there!
No, more precisely, a stony-faced Buddha!
His face was so dark, it looked as if ink would drip from it at any moment.
“Why are you here, too?” Lin Yuan was surprised.
Transporting tofu was a trivial matter; surely it didn’t require the hands-on supervision of the Young Master himself.
Don’t tell me he doesn’t trust me?
He can’t possibly think that I would skimp on the amount, can he?
Upon hearing this, Xia Zheng’s face darkened even further.
He gave her a sidelong glance and haughtily turned his head away.
He had been there for quite a while, and that girl hadn’t once inquired about him.
Really, all his efforts for nothing—he had provided a house, food, and hearing that she needed a ewe, he had even personally selected a fine-looking little ewe from the sheepfold for her.
And yet this girl didn’t even utter a word of thanks; instead, she had the cheek to question his presence!
Humph, she had no sense of gratitude at all.
To be fair, Lin Yuan was wronged by such thoughts.
She had always assumed these were Lao Fan sticking to their previous arrangement.
How would she know that it was actually all Xia Zheng’s idea?
