Chapter 64 -64 Longing for Her
“Auntie, I’m totally devoted to my studies; how would I have spare time to meddle in such affairs!” Zhou Siyu said with a proud face, “The words I just said in front of Auntie Liu were just to curry favor. Otherwise, would we even have these sunflower seeds to eat?”
As for whom Erni marries, she couldn’t care less.
Zhou Siyu and Zhou Lanfang were both the type of people with strong jealousy, who took pleasure in others’ misfortunes. The worse off others were, the more it highlighted how well they were doing, satisfying their sense of superiority.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Lanfang’s mood instantly improved, “You really didn’t interfere with this matter?”
“I wouldn’t be that foolish.”
“Just as I thought. How could you do something so foolish.” Siyu is just as clever as her.
Feeling better, Zhou Lanfang stopped cracking sunflower seeds, putting the ones in her hand back into the bag, “Put the seeds in your pocket, don’t let that little bastard steal them.”
When Shen Mianmian returned home, they had already finished dinner. Unwashed bowls and chopsticks were left on the table in the main room. She put down her backpack, cleaned up the kitchen items, and then saw sunflower seed shells scattered on the floor, knowing well the temperaments of the aunt-niece duo; she didn’t expect to get any.
After washing up, she went back to her room, and as soon as she got into bed and opened her book, Zhou Siyu came back inside. She approached Shen Mianmian and took out the last few sunflower seeds.
“Sister, have some seeds, I saved them especially for you.”
“I don’t want any,” Shen Mianmian sneered inwardly. Zhou Siyu always tried to coax her in the same old way without anyone noticing.
“You really don’t want them?” Zhou Siyu cracked a seed, deliberately tempting her, “They’re five-spiced, really delicious.”
“Don’t disturb me while I’m reading,” Shen Mianmian warned.
With her aunt covering for her, and her uncle not home, Zhou Siyu didn’t have any concerns and wasn’t afraid of Shen Mianmian getting angry. She continued to press in, “Sister, where did you hear about Xu Haiyang’s family? Was it Lu Siyuan who told you?”
Shanghe Village was quite far from their school, and there were no students from the village in their class. Shen Mianmian didn’t mingle with the other students either, so she suspected that Lu Siyuan must be involved in this matter.
Instead of answering, Shen Mianmian asked back, “Were the seeds from Auntie Liu?”
Zhou Lanfang was rather lazy and stingy. She usually wouldn’t buy these snacks, so when Zhou Siyu asked this question, it was clear that Auntie Liu must have chatted with them, explaining the origin of the seeds.
With a huff, Zhou Siyu lay back on the other side of the bed, “These weren’t for you; they were a reward from Auntie Liu for my cleverness.” That sneaky girl, sharp as a monkey, guessed the source of the seeds in an instant.
Having her suspicions confirmed, Shen Mianmian scoffed. She didn’t care about the snacks; she just wanted to remind Zhou Siyu not to show off in front of her.
What Zhou Siyu hated most was Shen Mianmian’s attitude, which wiped away her previous sense of superiority.

She threatened Shen Mianmian, “This match was discussed by Matchmaker Li. You sabotaged it for others. If Matchmaker Li finds out, you won’t have any good days ahead.”
“So, you’re also involved in this matter to get some seeds, aren’t you?”
In her previous life, Zhou Siyu had often taken credit for things she hadn’t done, so Shen Mianmian didn’t need to guess what she had said in front of Auntie Liu.
That omniscient gaze made Zhou Siyu guilty, but of course, she wouldn’t admit to it, retorting stubbornly, “I don’t know anything about this matter, and I don’t even know Xu Haiyang, so don’t falsely accuse me.”
She placed the handful of seeds in front of Shen Mianmian, “These are your reward from Auntie Liu.”
With that said, she covered her head with the blanket and went to sleep.
The situation was Shen Mianmian’s doing, and now she had even given her the seeds, so there was no way for anyone to blame her.
