Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 756 - 754: Is That the Third Miss Up Ahead? (Part 2)

The sky is very blue today, with only a few white clouds drifting around. The bright sunlight slants down, bringing warmth to the cold winter day.

Shen Qinglan stepped out the door and walked towards the Li family doctor’s house. Along the way, she saw many people sitting on low stools in the sunshine, chatting idly.

"Where are you off to, Qinglan?"

As she passed by a house, Hu shi happened to open the door and walk out.

Shen Qinglan paused slightly, nodded at her, and said, "Going to the Li family doctor’s house."

"Going to the Li family doctor’s house?" Hu shi was surprised, "Is someone ill?"

Shen Qinglan replied, "The little girl at home caught a cold."

"Oh! Is that so!" Hu shi glanced behind her and furrowed her brows, "Where is she? Are you going to fetch him?"

"No, she’s already gone ahead. I’m just going over to see."

"Is it Xichun?" Hu shi asked, "I think I saw her pass by this morning. She looked like she was coughing quite severely."

Shen Qinglan nodded, "It’s her."

"Then you go ahead." Aunt Hu said, "I just went to your aunt’s house to get some thread, and I’m about to go home to sew that cushion."

"Okay."

Shen Qinglan nodded again before turning to continue walking.

She had just turned a corner and entered a small path when she heard a woman shouting loudly, "If you’ve got the guts, you should go with them instead of whining at home all day. Who can stand it?"

"You damned woman," a man angrily shouted, "Do you think I didn’t want to go? It’s that brat Shen Qingning who doesn’t want to hire me!"

Upon hearing her second cousin’s voice, Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but pause her steps.

"All you do is drink; what else can you do?" the woman said, "If you worked a bit harder, would others not hire you? Look at the Zhong family, both father and son go, and they earn quite a bit each month. And you? After drinking some piss, you snore like thunder. Why don’t you just idle yourself to death?"

"How is that the same?" The man retorted, "The wife’s sister from the Zhong family is the sister-in-law of the Li family. Doesn’t that mean they have kinship with the Shen family? Of course they can go."

"Kinship?" The woman sneered, "Do you know that the third girl from the Shen family dislikes that little Hong shi? Back in the day at the threshing ground, she even gave little Hong shi a beating. If you were diligent, would others care about anything else?"

"That Shen Qingning would rather hire someone from another village than our own." The man said angrily, "Truly biting the hand that feeds."

Shen Qinglan could hardly believe her ears; it was the first time she knew this phrase "biting the hand that feeds" could be used like this.

"Isn’t it just?" The woman said, "To put it bluntly, now that they have money, they look down on people from our village."

The voice of this woman was very familiar to Shen Qinglan. It was the same person who, when Shen Qinglan returned from Bright Moon City with Fu Dong and the others to the countryside, was chatting nearby with another woman, speaking in a mocking manner until the other woman chased her away.

She shook her head with a smile and continued her leisurely pace forward.

For these peculiar thoughts and speeches, it’s better to listen less.

Unexpectedly, just as she lifted her foot to leave, the voice of Flower Aunt called out from behind.

"Is the one ahead the third girl?"

As soon as she called out, the complaints within immediately came to an abrupt stop.

Shen Qinglan slightly pressed her forehead, turned her head to look at Flower Aunt approaching her, and smiled helplessly.

"It really is the third girl!" Flower Aunt smiled so widely that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes gathered together. She seemed very happy.
