340 The Girl in the Snow
Old Madam Wang rolled her eyes. âDo you think my family are beggars? Who cares about your fruits? Itâs not like our family doesnât have fruits!â
âForget it if you donât want it. Give it back to me!â Third Aunt Hu said and wanted to snatch it back.
âHow can you snatch something back thatâs given to others? Itâs just a bunch of sour fruits, yet you still treat it as a treasure.â
Although she said that, Old Madam Wang accepted the fruits.
Seeing that her expression had improved, Third Aunt Hu leaned over again. âHey, Donkey Zhang, what are your plans? Your daughter is just staying at home and not getting married?â
Old Madam Wang did not say anything.
âThereâs a kid at my maternal familyâs side. Heâs already 25 years old this year. He wasnât 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. Heâs 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 wonât be a problem for him to support his family in the future,â Third Aunt Hu said as she looked at Old Madam Wangâs expression. âIâm not here to be a matchmaker. Iâm just telling you that thereâs such a person. Think about it yourself.â
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.
âDonkey Zhang, what do you think? Say something.â Third Aunt Hu followed.
âI donât have much thoughts,â Old Madam Wang said casually. âFlower Jiang, Iâm very busy every day. I donât have time to argue with you now.â
Third Aunt Hu: â! It turns out that you didnât listen to a single word I said. Whoâs talking nonsense with you! Forget it, forget it. Just treat it as me being a busybody. Go and worry about yourself!â
She shouldnât have seen Donkey Zhangâs eyes turn red and thought that she was unhappy.
Even if everyone in the world died from crying. Zhang Donkey probably wouldnât 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 familyâs courtyard.
Between the Wang Family and Third Aunt Huâs house was Qin Huaiâs 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.
âThen why is there a girl?â 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 Huaiâs 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 girlâs clothes were not thick.
âWhat a sin. Which familyâs daughter ran out!â Third Aunt Hu was a little puzzled. âShe doesnât look like sheâs from our village.â
Old Madam Wang opened the fence outside and walked into the courtyard. Her expression changed slightly.
âItâs actually her.â
