"Drink water! Drink water!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao realized sothing was up.
Just now in the courtyard, she deduced from the conversation that Wu Fei seed to have so sort of affair with Brother Jin, but looking at the current situation with Song Moting, it didn’t appear very harmonious either. What on earth is going on?
Could it be that Song Moting is hiding sothing from her?
Does he have other love interests?
Wu Fei seed relieved to see Jiang Xiaoxiao.
"Thank you."
It was clear that Jiang Xiaoxiao’s presence relieved her greatly.
Zhao Jini finished tidying up, "You all know each other. Tonight, everyone stays for dinner at ho. I’ll go out and buy so groceries, we’ll make sothing good tonight. Your big brother also said he wants to have a proper drink with you tonight. Xiao Wu, since you and Xiao Song know your Brother Jin, there’s no need to be polite. Stay and eat tonight.
I’ve even prepared the room next door for you, so you can stay overnight."
Zhao Jini was always hospitable.
Jiang Xiaoxiao walked over and took Zhao Jini’s arm,
"Sister-in-law, you shouldn’t go. You’re pregnant and going out to buy groceries makes it hard for us to eat with peace of mind. Leave this grocery shopping to and Xiao Song. Just tell him where the market is, and we’ll go buy the groceries. When we return, I’ll cook, so you can try my skills. It’s said that I’m quite a good cook, so please give a chance to show off a little."
Her easygoing and cheerful deanor made Zhao Jini naturally fond of her.
"Alright, alright! Sister-in-law definitely won’t make it hard for you. Xiao Song, you should know the market. Last ti when you ca, you went grocery shopping with your Brother Jin. Just buy whatever you see fit, we have wine at ho."
Zhao Jini indeed didn’t feel too well in her belly, watching as her due date approached in just two months, her belly getting larger and the baby becoming restless inside.
It indeed was inconvenient, and she felt grateful to Jiang Xiaoxiao.
This sister-in-law was quite tactful and very considerate.
Song Moting nodded, looked at Wu Fei, and Jiang Xiaoxiao noticed that his gaze carried a warning.
Warning?!
The two of them carried the vegetable basket and headed out, as plastic bags and convenient bags weren’t common in this era, so everyone carried either a basket or a sh bag to buy groceries.
Stepping out of the courtyard gate, Jiang Xiaoxiao quietly asked Song Moting,
"Who on earth is this Wu Fei? Why do I feel that your expression with her seems off?"
No matter what, she believed Song Moting wouldn’t lie.
He would never hide things from her.
"Wu Fei’s family is quite well-off, from a high-ranking background. Her grandfather and father are both renowned doctors, her father is the hospital’s director, and almost all her uncles work in the dical system. Several of them are the top doctors in our country.
Back when I was in the army, Old Jin served as her instructor during our recruit days. I don’t know exactly when Wu Fei developed feelings for Old Jin and kept pestering him constantly. But Old Jin was already engaged to this sister-in-law of ours back ho.
Jin Dachuan was very clear in telling her, but Wu Fei just wouldn’t give up. She insisted that Old Jin should fight against feudal ideas at ho and pursue love with freedom, and be with soone like-minded.
Such a girl, her head filled with all sorts of chaotic ideas. Old Jin and the sister-in-law had genuine feelings for each other; in all these years Old Jin wasn’t around, she took care of his family, doing quite a lot for them despite not having a recognized status.
If Brother Jin really beca soone like Chen Shii, even I wouldn’t respect him. Later, when Jin Dachuan married, Wu Fei was transferred away, and I thought that was the end of it, but seeing today, Wu Fei actually followed them here.
From the look of it, she still hasn’t given up. I just warned Wu Fei that considering sister-in-law is heavily pregnant, there are certain things better left unknown to her. It spares her any distress and keeps her unborn child safe.
I’m afraid if Wu Fei, thoughtless as she might be, does anything to harm sister-in-law, it would be too late to regret it afterwards."
Hearing the whole story, Jiang Xiaoxiao hadn’t anticipated Jin Dachuan getting involved in such a romantic intrigue.
"And you’re still daring to leave sister-in-law and Wu Fei together? Aren’t you afraid of a woman’s jealousy getting out of control? What if sothing happens to hurt the baby? You’re quite bold; I’ll go buy the groceries, and you’d better hurry back to take care of sister-in-law."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was genuinely worried.
There was an air of willfulness about Wu Fei; such people sotis do things without thinking through.
She likely hadn’t considered the consequences, possibly having a strong backing at ho, which made such people very reckless and act on impulse.
Such persons are the most terrifying.
Song Moting smiled gently.
"You, sotis you’re really smart, but sotis you’re really quite naive. Am I the type to act without thinking ahead? Brother Jin said he’d be back within half an hour. I tid it; Brother Jin should return in just two or three minutes.
Would Wu Fei dare to act out in front of Brother Jin? I reckon that no matter how mindless a woman may be, she wouldn’t do sothing foolish in front of soone she fancies."
Pulling her along, they quickly headed towards the market.
Only then did Jiang Xiaoxiao feel relieved.
What they referred to as the "market" was actually just a grocery store with vegetable stalls out front.
The vegetables on the stalls weren’t very fresh, with a bland selection.
Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced over; it was not as varied as her space’s garden.
She had stored a large amount of goods in her space now.
With sumr approaching, she had prepared a considerable amount of seeds, so her space now had everything she needed.
She didn’t know why, but her space always stayed at five plots, never increasing, though also with no risk of decreasing.
However, one plot already had a peach tree growing.
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t want to move this peach tree, and another plot had ginseng.
Those ginsengs definitely benefited from ti, so aside from those she gave to her parents, they pretty much were never harvested. She left them there, thinking perhaps soday they might yield thousand-year-old ginseng.
After all, ginseng won’t spoil if left in the ground.
The other three plots were planted with an assortnt of vegetables, fruits, and grains.
She wasn’t planting as frequently now. In the past, she could harvest twice a day, but now at most once every three days because she planted so much with no place to consu it all.
Considering the little amount of food the youths ate, while she could mix so in, their small group, no matter how ravenous, could only eat so much.
There was no place to sell in this era.
Not afraid of accusations like speculation or hoarding? Just give it a try.
She symbolically mailed so things to her uncle, but those quantities were limited too.
So now, she didn’t plant as frequently.
