Chapter 36 Untrustworthy
Yang smiled and glanced over, "I feel that after our trip, the relationship between the families has become more harmonious. In the past, they would quarrel from time to time."
Zhao nodded. The most important thing was that the hidden danger at home was solved.
……
……
On the other side, Liu Pianran was holding half a piece of whole-grain cake in her hand, thinking silently about her own thoughts.
Liu Mingwu came back carrying the water bag, her brows furrowed.
"What's wrong, mother?" Liu Pianran asked.
Liu Mingwu sighed, "Your uncle's cold hasn't gotten better. I'm thinking of asking Yingying and the others to buy some medicine. When we get to the county town, I'll find a way to get him to the clinic."
My eldest brother has been running a fever. Although he is much better than before, the root cause of the disease has not been eliminated. It is not a solution to keep delaying the condition.
Liu Pianran's eyes turned slightly and an idea came to her mind.
"Mother, let me go find my cousin and talk to her at the same time. We two sisters have to get along well when we arrive in Yaocheng." She held Liu Mingwu's hand, and her smile looked so pitiful that Liu Mingwu felt sad.
It was all because of her incompetence as a mother that she brought her daughter to this state.
She suppressed her sobs and patted Liu Pianran on the back of her hand, "Okay, go ahead, and pay attention to the time."
Liu Pianran nodded, took out a golden hairpin in the shape of a butterfly flower from her bag and stuffed it into her arms, then holding the hem of her coarse cloth dress, she quickly walked over to Pan Yingying and the others.
"Cousin." she called out.
Pan Yingying waved her hand, and all the things that shouldn't appear in this era were collected into the system space, and she also collected the straw sun hat on Yu Chaosheng's head.
She leaned her head out of the carriage and looked at Liu Pianran who was coming towards her.
He looked at Yu Chaosheng calmly, and Yu Chaosheng shrugged, "I'll go down first, you pay attention."
Pan Yingying nodded gently, watched Yu Chaosheng jump off the carriage, and then waved to Liu Pianran, "Cousin, come here quickly!"
Halfway through the conversation, Zhao noticed Liu Pianran coming over and stood up, "Oh, I'll go ask Chaosheng when he's leaving."
Glancing at the look from his mother-in-law, Yu Chaosheng turned a corner and followed the people to a dead tree not far away.
"What does my mother-in-law want to call me for?" Yu Chaosheng was carefree and very intimate with Zhao, not reserved at all.
Zhao looked around and warned in a low voice, "Don't trust the Liu family, especially Liu Pianran. You have to keep a close eye on her."
This girl gave her a very incongruous feeling. Her face was childish and it was obvious that she was not very old, but her eyes revealed a calculation and sophistication that did not match her age.
Yu Chaosheng exclaimed, "Don't worry, mother-in-law. I'm keeping a close eye on you. If she dares to hurt our Yingying, I won't care if she's a relative or not!"
Well, I guess as long as Liu Pianran dares to take action, he won’t need to solve the problem at all. That woman can crush the man to ashes by herself!
"Okay, I'm confident you can do the job." Zhao's brows relaxed and a smile appeared on her face involuntarily.
This son-in-law was indeed the one she had chosen after careful selection. Although he seemed unreliable, he did things very well and properly. She felt relieved to let him teach her daughter.
In the carriage, Liu Pianran took out a gold hairpin from her bosom and said, "I was in a hurry last time and didn't have time to formally greet my cousin. I hope you don't mind." Pan Yingying looked at the gold hairpin. The workmanship was very ordinary and the shape could be barely seen. It was not exquisite at all, but it was heavy.
She knew Liu Pianran's situation. She had been practicing in the temple with her hair uncut since she was 11 years old. She was not released until 8 years later. As soon as she came out, she was exiled. Or it could be said that she was released because of the exile.
If it was in the past, Pan Yingying would have been surprised to see such a heavy gold hairpin, but now... any hairpin picked out from the space would be more exquisite than this one. Although she was happy, she could not act surprised.
Liu Pianran didn't take it seriously and just thought that she was embarrassed. After all, her little cousin was always like this in front of her, shy and timid, as if she was a little ashamed of herself.
"Thank you, cousin." Pan Yingying took the gold hairpin. To show her appreciation for her cousin, she immediately inserted it into the bun that Yu Chuner had tied for her today.
With the help of the mall in the system, she managed to restore her dull hair. Now she wears her hair in a beautiful bun every day when she goes out in public.
Liu Pianran looked at Pan Yingying's thick black hair and her eyes darkened.
I heard that my little cousin grew up in the countryside, so logically she should be similar to the refugee women she met on the road.
He was skin and bones, with a yellow face and muscles, dirty all over, and lice in his hair.
But my little cousin seems to be completely different from the women in the village.
She was even better maintained than those girls in the boudoir, with fair skin. The clothes she wore were not made of good material, at most just fine cotton, but they were very clean. Since the day I met her, she had never worn the same clothes twice.
To be honest, it was much more decent than the best years he had spent in the Xie family.
"I haven't asked my cousin how she has been doing these years. It's really my negligence." Liu Pianran couldn't help but want to ask Pan Yingying some questions when she saw her face, which was as innocent as a little white flower.
My little cousin doesn't seem to have any ulterior motives, so it should be easy for her to find out what she wants to know.
Pan Yingying curled her lips and answered shyly, "I'm doing OK. My father and mother treat me very well, and Chaosheng has also been good to me since we got married."
Pan Yingying stared at Liu Pianran's patched cloth shoes and spoke in a thin voice, looking like a young woman from the village with little knowledge.
Liu Pianran sighed, with regret in her tone, "Cousin...you have suffered so much these years..." She took out a handkerchief that had been washed until it turned white and pressed the corners of her eyes, and continued: "If...cousin could actually find a better husband, and not have to be tied to a country bumpkin and live this hard life now, it's really...sigh..."
Seeing her being so pretentious, Pan Yingying rolled her eyes in her heart.
This woman really thinks of herself as a country girl who has never seen the world.
It seems that rebirth does not increase one's IQ.
"Cousin, I don't agree with you." Pan Yingying retorted in a low voice, her fingers nervously pinching the small yellow flower on the corner of her clothes. This lonely little flower was embroidered by Yu Chaosheng on a whim when he learned from Yu Chuner, but unfortunately he lost his patience after embroidering just this one flower.
"I think Chaosheng is a good person. We both think each other is good and are willing to love and tolerate each other, so we are the most suitable match." Pan Yingying said with a faint smile on her lips. She looked very happy, but her happiness deeply hurt Liu Pianran's eyes and pierced her heart.
Her voice became sharp involuntarily. "Cousin, that's because you haven't seen any other better men in the world. You are trapped in the countryside and your horizons are too narrow."
I made a boast and will update the book as soon as it is released.
Well, it exploded.
Remember to give a five-star praise, dear!
