Sweet Wife Is Busy Farming-Chapter 18
She Sleeps in My Room
Song Xiuyan’s words were very clear, but Zhao Caiyun was still stubborn. She looked very wronged. “Song Xiuyan, how can you say that? Our two families are neighbors. Shouldn’t neighbors help each other? Your fourth brother and fifth sister came to borrow rice this afternoon, and I lent it to them without saying anything.”
Seeing that Zhao Caiyun actually mentioned him, Song Yu couldn’t help but say, “Sister Caiyun, what you said is wrong. Borrowing something is different from accepting charity. The rice we borrowed will be returned to you.”
After being repeatedly rejected, Zhao Caiyun felt angered, but she suppressed her anger and used the topic to ask, “So you cooked the rice I lent you this afternoon in one meal? You guys will eat it all?”
Song Xue nodded. “That’s right. Xiuyan said that this is the first day my sister-in-law ate at home ...”
Before Song Xue could finish her words, she was interrupted by Zhao Caiyun. “You’re really a prodigal! I thought that you guys could cook rice for three days without going hungry, so I lent you the rice behind my family’s back. I didn’t expect you guys to be so wasteful. This way, if you ask me to lend you rice again, I can’t guarantee that I can lend it to you.”
Hearing this, Song Xiuyan couldn’t listen anymore. He stood up and said, “Zhao Caiyun, you don’t have to say anything more. I also hope that you won’t come to our house in the future. I’ll definitely return the rice I borrowed from you tomorrow. If you feel that you’ve suffered a loss, I can pay you back double.”
Zhao Caiyun was so angry that she covered her face and ran home. The happy atmosphere was ruined by Zhao Caiyun. Even though she had left, no one said anything. After Zhao Caiyun made such a fuss, even the most slow-witted people could see that Zhao Caiyun was interested in Song Xiuyan. Zhao Caiyun liked Song Xiuyan. When she heard that Song Xiuyan brought Ding Yao home, she came over to make things difficult for Ding Yao.
Song Xue was young and couldn’t hold. She said directly, “Sister Ding Yao, don’t be angry. I didn’t know that Sister Caiyun was such a person. I won’t play with her in the future!”
Ding Yao felt that it was funny. She gestured at Song Xiuyan and said, “I don’t care about such a small thing, and I won’t be angry. You guys didn’t do anything wrong. Why are you unhappy because of an outsider?”
Song Xiuyan was good-looking and talented. He was different from the rural men here, so it was normal for him to be liked by girls.
Song Xiuyan relayed Ding Yao’s words to everyone. Seeing Ding Yao’s indifferent expression, the siblings let out a sigh of relief. The atmosphere was slightly more relaxed.
At night, Song Xue volunteered to bring Ding Yao to her room to sleep. She patted her chest and promised, “I will take good care of you!” 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎
Ding Yao found it funny. She looked at Song Xue, who was only seven years old. She didn’t know who was taking care of whom. However, just as Ding Yao was about to leave with Song Xue, Song Xiuyan said, “Ding Yao will live with me.”
Ding Yao was shocked. She was going to live with Song Xiuyan? Fortunately, Song Xiuyan’s next sentence was, “I can sleep in the study.” Ding Yao was brought to the Song family as his wife, so she should sleep in his room.
Ding Yao’s breath instantly relaxed. She was scared to death. She wasn’t ready to sleep in the same room with a man. Song Xiuyan’s room was the largest and most spacious in the entire courtyard house. In the room, besides the wardrobe and desk, there were also bookshelves and dressing tables. The soft bed was covered with a clean, soapy smell, there seemed to be Song Xiuyan’s scent on it. Ding Yao smelled this reassuring smell and fell asleep soon after lying down.
After his siblings had fallen asleep, Song Xiuyan pushed Song Yang’s room open. After much thought, he decided to tell Song Yang about what he and Ding Yao had discovered. Someone had deliberately tried to kill him. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. “After hearing what Xiuyan said, I also feel that it’s a little strange. That foreigner didn’t bring any bow and arrows for hunting, nor was he carrying a basket. It’s clear that he didn’t come to the mountains to hunt, nor did he come to pick wild vegetables. He might have deliberately set me up! But... I don’t know that man at all, and I can’t think of who I have offended? Xiuyan, did you dream that someone wanted to kill me?”
Song Xiuyan shook his head. “I only dreamed that you were bitten by a snake. My dream may be a coincidence, but the current situation is that someone really wanted to harm you, so we have to be vigilant. Sometimes, I think that third brother Song Yi’s leg was also deliberately broken.”𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎
