The next day
At sunrise, Xuexue and Chuner were returning from the waterlon field, having just sent off Shopkeeper Fan’s carriage.
As they passed by the Village Chief’s house, they saw Mo Shaoxing erging in a new outfit, seemingly ready to head out.
Xuexue grabbed Chuner, wanting to quicken their pace to avoid encountering him. Mo Shaoxing was too full of himself, relying on his status as a Scholar and the village head’s son, he looked down on the ordinary villagers, snobbishly turning up his nose at them—of course, unless they were so of the prettier girls in the village.
To Xuexue, he was nothing but a real rake.
Lately, she didn’t know where he got the confidence from, but he often pestered her, thinking that with Big Bull having left the Mo Family Village and the Xie Residence, she would choose him, and he didn’t see how ridiculous that was.
It was as if, just because he set his sights on her, being chosen by him was a great honor she had to accept. What did he think he was?
No sooner had Mo Shaoxing stepped out of his house than he caught sight of Xuexue, his face lighting up with delight, “Sister Xuexue, you ca to see !”
Alas! A step too late.
Xuexue, feeling helpless, stopped in her tracks, turned around, and said irritatedly, “Which eye saw
coming to see you?”
“If you didn’t co to see , then what brings you to my house?”
Instantly, Xuexue felt as if a flock of crows flew over her head.
Xuexue rolled her eyes, “Can’t I just pass by? Does your family own this path? Can outsiders not walk here?”
“Hehe, Sister Xuexue really likes to joke.”
Sensing her sister’s impatience, Chuner also looked up innocently at Mo Shaoxing and said, “Exactly, my sister and I just ca back from the field. We were rely passing by, Scholar Mo, don’t flatter yourself.”
Mo Shaoxing reached out, wanting to pat Chuner’s head, “Little sister Chuner! Adult matters, you kids wouldn’t understand.”
Chuner dodged to the side, not letting him touch her, and said rebelliously, “Your little tricks, who doesn’t know about them? Every ti you see my sister, your eyes light up. Let
tell you, don’t think I’m a kid and don’t understand anything. Xiao Gougou has taught
a lot! I understand everything; you can’t fool my eyes. You do like my sister, but my sister doesn’t like you. She likes Big Bull Brother.”
Mo Shaoxing’s hand froze mid-air, his expression turned awkward for a mont, then he declared confidently, “But your Big Bull Brother has left already, and he will never co back. Your sister will surely fall for .”
Chuner pouted unhappily, “Big Bull Brother will co back, he left a letter for my sister, telling her to wait for him. Don’t delude yourself.”
Mo Shaoxing, “Such a little fool, he’s fooling you!”
Hearing this, Xuexue’s face turned grim; she grabbed Chuner and turned to leave, “Chuner, dear, don’t talk to such people, lest we lower ourselves. Let’s go ho.”
Chuner was very supportive, imdiately adding, “Right, such an annoying person. And he’s a Scholar! Really, a dog’s mouth can’t grow ivory. To say that Big Bull Brother won’t co back—hmph! Let’s just ignore him.”
The two sisters walked away hand in hand, getting farther and farther.
Mo Shaoxing stood there, staring foolishly at their retreating figures.
In the shadows, soone watched, grinding their teeth in anger, their fingernails digging deep into their flesh, yet completely unaware of the pain.
Indeed, this person was Mo Xiuzhi. She had just finished the household chores and, taking advantage of Old Lady Mo’s distraction, had sneaked out, intending to explain last night’s incident to Mo Shaoxing. Unexpectedly, she saw him with Xuexue, and her heart filled with intense jealousy.
“You little cheap person, daring to snatch my Brother Xing, I won’t let you off,” Mo Xiuzhi fud and turned to leave.
Xie Residence
Xuexue and Chuner had just returned ho and set down their baskets.
Madam Xie imdiately ca over, “Xuexue, the waterlons in the field should be almost harvested, right?”
