Chapter 71

The room fell silent as soon as these words were spoken.

"Mrs. Zhou hasn't seen her sister-in-law for many days, and seeing Mrs. He wholeheartedly helping today, she forgot about it at first, but now she can't stand it anymore. The fifth child said that, after they went out to talk alone, he told her he already had a sweetheart, but his mother did not agree."

Mrs. He was surprised. "Really?"

"We all know this," Mrs. Zhou sighed. "This must not be brought up in the future."

"Such treachery. I have to ask her what she means." Mrs. He was annoyed. "I told her it was my niece, I didn't think she could still hide this from me. Isn't this harmful?"

Mrs. Zhou waved her hand hurriedly. "You should not bring up this matter. It will be the girl's family who'll suffer from it. We'll stay away from him in the future, otherwise, it'll be uncomfortable."

Mrs. He apologized several times, embarrassed. "I really didn't know about this, or else I wouldn't have brought him to your house."

"I know you have no bad intentions. I have been troubled by making you care for my children. Thanks for all the help over the years." Mrs. Zhou smiled. "Today we're eating meat, so don't worry about these unhappy things."

There was indeed meat to eat, and Li Qing He had deliberately set aside a dozen catties to eat by themselves. Because there were so many people today, she cut a large piece out, killed the pig, and had a good meal.

After that, everyone tacitly stopped mentioning He Hoe. For a farmer's family, eating meat like this was very rare. Zhou Chengkang had also bought some wine on purpose, and everyone who ate was very content.

It was already noon when the people were sent off. And now, since it was almost winter, it was getting dark early, and it was foggy and cold. They stood at the door to say goodbye to the Zhou family and Mrs. He. Zhou Chengkang took her in and said, "Go back and rest."

Li Qing He shook her head and pointed at the offals in the corner of the courtyard. "No, those things need to be cleaned."

For such a large pig, there were many things to that could be removed, which would all be washed out to eat. It wouldn't be delicious if the internal organs weren't well prepared.

"I'll wash them." Zhou Chengkang pushed her inside with a smile. He asked, "Should we also send some to Father?"

In the end, they both washed them together. It didn't matter what work they did, they felt less tired and could talk without feeling annoyed. By the time they finished, it was already dark outside.

At night, the candles were dimly lit, and they sat in front of the brazier. Li Qing He held the needle and thread, and Zhou Chengkang sat opposite her. He began counting the silver and copper taels they had collected during the day. After counting, he smiled and looked at her.

Those eyes sparkled like stars. As Li Qing He looked into his smiling eyes, she couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you thinking about?" She asked.

Zhou Chengkang returned to his senses. "Previously, I'd often thought that after we were married in a quiet house like this, with no one to disturb us, and I could feed you and provide warm clothes for you, it would be the best thing in the world."

Previously?

Li Qing He suddenly remembered the lonely back that had guarded her tombstone in her previous life. Her heart soured slightly and she couldn't help but say, "We'll be fine in the future."
