Chapter 238: Chapter 239 Play with Mud
Gu Fuying didn’t want to talk to Wu Qingsong and sat aside dejectedly.
She had made her feelings so obvious, yet he still didn’t get it. Did she really have to spell it out for him?
“What’s wrong? You seem so aggrieved. Who upset you?” Xu Ying sat down next to her and pulled out a tissue to wipe her tears.
When Gu Fuying saw Xu Ying, she felt even more aggrieved and began to cry even harder.
She leaned on Xu Ying’s lap and started to cry her heart out.
Wu Qingsong was cleaning up the stove on the side, stealing glances at Gu Fuying. Seeing her crying so sadly, he immediately grew anxious.
How had he managed to make her cry? He was sure he hadn’t done anything.
“Brother Chen, do all young ladies love to cry this much? I didn’t even interact with Gu Fuying, and she just started crying,” Wu Qingsong said with regret.
Huo Chen glanced at Wu Qingsong. They had grown up together, after all, and he reminded him, “You and Sister-in-law Chunlan split up, are you still planning to date someone else?”
Without hesitation, Wu Qingsong nodded: “Definitely. It’s not like I’m unwanted just because she left me.
I can’t keep mooning over her for the rest of my life.”
He had figured it out now. Some fates you can’t force, and he had given up hope when he heard those words.
“What do you think about Gu Fuying? Want me to matchmake you with her and my sister-in-law?” Huo Chen suggested with a raised eyebrow.
Wu Qingsong immediately shook his head: “Brother Chen, please, I can’t be with Gu Fuying.
Just looking at her gearing up to cry makes me feel so frustrated. And her father is a big leader in the county hospital, her mother a teacher.
Gu Fuying works at the supply and sales cooperative, and there I am, an orphan taking care of a sister, jobless. How could I possibly be worthy of her?”
He dared not aspire to such a family background.
“What if she is willing to be with you?” Huo Chen probed.
Wu Qingsong shook his head again: “Still no good. Gu Fuying would be just like Sister-in-law at home. I don’t have your talents; how could I let someone suffer with me?”
Huo Chen’s eyes darkened, and as he lifted his gaze to Xu Ying, he swore in his heart to work hard to give Yingying a good life, and never to let her suffer even the slightest grievance.
“Then you must strive to become capable, no matter who your wife is, you can’t let her suffer.”
Wu Qingsong nodded, that was a given.
“Little sister, look at all these fish; we’re going to have a feast of fish for lunch,” Third Brother Xu ran over to Xu Ying, holding five or six big fish like treasures.
Second Brother Xu was so preoccupied with dating that he entirely forgot that he had invited Huo Chen to hunt.
As he looked up, he saw Huo Chen staring intently at his little sister, igniting a surge of anger in his heart.
“Huo Chen, you’re so skilled at hunting, and it’d be too bland to just eat fish. Why don’t you go hunt some different game?”
Everyone’s gaze turned toward Huo Chen.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ying found the idea reasonable: “Second Brother, then I’ll go with Huo Chen.”
As soon as Second Brother Xu heard this, he became anxious: “Little sister, it’s too dangerous for a young lady to go hunting. Plus, Huo Chen will have to take care of you. If something big comes up, don’t be a burden on him.”
Huo Chen’s lips twitched, recalling the first time he met Xu Ying; this girl was quite capable indeed.
Second Brother Xu might have some misunderstandings about Xu Ying.
Feeling somewhat guilty, Xu Ying met Huo Chen’s gaze: “Second Brother, no worries, I’m fast on my feet.”
Second Brother Xu’s face turned awkward. As expected, the girl was too outgoing—it wasn’t even her wedding yet, and she was already taking his side.
“Never mind, I’m not hungry anymore, this is quite alright,” Second Brother Xu wasn’t remotely aware that he had shot himself in the foot.
At this moment, Xu Ying’s craving was triggered, and just thinking about the delicious Hobo Chicken made her swallow involuntarily.
“Second Brother, you may not want to eat, but I do, I want to make Hobo Chicken to eat.”
“Hobo Chicken? What is that?” Gu Fuying asked, her face full of curiosity, as she got up from Xu Ying’s legs, her eyes puffy.
Wu Qingsong glanced over, feeling quite annoyed, and stood up to pat Huo Chen, “Brother Chen, I’ll join you.
Sister-in-law, Xu Ying, you stay here and take care of these things, we’ll prepare some delicious food.
I’ll accompany Brother Chen, with me there, nothing bad will happen to him!” Wu Qingsong didn’t forget to tease them a little.
Naturally, Xu Ying wasn’t worried about anything happening to the two men; she mainly wanted to stretch her muscles.
But when she turned her head, all eyes were eagerly on her.
Xu Ying had no choice but to resign herself to her fate and nod, “Alright then!”
After the two had left, Xu Ying started to assign tasks to everyone else.
Second Brother Xu and Third Brother Xu were in charge of killing fish, cleaning and gutting them, while Gu Fuying, Gu Fuzhu, and Xu Qiuye were responsible for collecting firewood in the surrounding area.
And Xu Ying and Lu Daya started preparing to cook, meanwhile, digging a few big holes to start playing with mud.
“Are you fond of Wu Qingsong?” Gu Fuzhu asked her cousin Fuying, seeing her swollen red eyes and asking with sympathy.
Gu Fuying, stubborn, shook her head, “Of course not, why would I like him? He’s so insensitive and has no sense of humor, I would never like such a man.”
No one was fooled by her words; it was evident to everyone that Gu Fuying harbored special feelings for Wu Qingsong, but he was either genuinely oblivious or pretended to be.
It’s often said that love is blind to those involved, but clear to those standing by.
Let’s hope that’s the case for Wu Qingsong.
“Yingying, is this enough?”
Indeed, given their strength, Gu Fuzhu and the others gathered a huge pile of firewood, towering like a small hill, to which Xu Ying hurriedly nodded, “That’s enough, more than enough.”
They might not even use all that huge pile.

“Yingying, what are you doing playing with this!” exclaimed Gu Fuying in disdain upon returning and seeing Xu Ying playing with mud, something she thought only children enjoyed.
Shitou and Hu Zi were both covered in mud, laughing away. When they heard Gu Fuying’s comment, Shitou retorted, “My little aunt isn’t playing with mud; she’s preparing to make us Hobo Chicken.
It’s delicious; you’ll all be drooling with envy later.”
Gu Fuying couldn’t help but laugh and crouched down beside Shitou, asking curiously, “Is Hobo Chicken made from mud? How have you eaten it?”
Hu Zi shook his head, “No, my little aunt said, you wrap the wild chicken in mud, and that’s how you make Hobo Chicken.
It’s delicious, everything my little aunt cooks is delicious.”
That was true, but Gu Fuying was still full of curiosity. Wrapping a wild chicken in mud, wouldn’t that make it dirty? Could it still be edible?
“What’s this big hole for?” Gu Fuying was very curious; she had initially asked Xu Ying to teach her cooking, but this girl was too busy to even meet. Previously, when she was working at the restaurant, they could meet every few days.
Now that she worked at the food factory, seeing her once a week was lucky, let alone once in half a month.
“You’ll need it to make Hobo Chicken later, you wanted to learn cooking, so I’ll teach you today,” Xu Ying said with a smile.
Gu Fuzhu and Xu Qiuye also perked up with interest, “Yingying, we want to learn, too.”
“Sure, let’s all learn together.”
