C197 Falling over a Wall
Mu Yifann was not in the mood to listen to his explanation, he opened his mouth and interrupted him, "Big brother, don't say anything, I know that. Mother has always disliked me, and also disliked Qing Sheng and Xi Er.
He was foolish, and kept thinking that no matter what he said, he was his mother's own son. No matter how much his mother disliked him marrying Qing Sheng, as time passed, she would see that Qing Sheng was a good person and would fall in love with him.
When Mu Yifann wanted to marry Qing Sheng, Madam of Patriarch had disagreed. She liked the round and lucky looking girl from the village, but after Qing Sheng got married, although she did not make things difficult for him, he did not treat him well and did not call him anything. He treated him like a transparent person, and's position at home had always been very awkward.
Mu Yifann looked at him once more, lightly shook his head, turned around and headed straight towards Shen Jingli's house, coincidentally met Mu Jin when he returned.
Mu Jin carried the hook and the fish basket. He looked at Mu Yifann strangely and asked, "Brother Yifann, why aren't you going in?"
Mu Yifann revealed a bitter smile, and said somewhat embarrassedly: "Your sister-in-law won't let me in?"
When he said this, Mu Jin remembered what happened last night. He let out an awkward laugh, and felt that Mu Yifann was really unlucky to have offended so many people, but he just had to offend his sister-in-law.
Mu Yifann saw his uneasiness and laughed bitterly once more, saying, "You can go in, I … "We'll stay here for a while longer …"
Seeing him open his mouth, Mu Jin seemed to have something to say. He hesitated for a while, but didn't say it out, and only lowered his head in disappointment.
"You should go back. Your sister-in-law is probably waiting for you for dinner." Mu Yifann waved his hand, telling him to quickly enter the house.
Mu Jin was quite pitiful as he comforted her, "How about, I go in and help you ask Sister Qing Sheng? See if he lets you in? "
Hearing him say that, Mu Yifann was happy at first, but then he shook his head: "No need, even if he was willing to see me, I don't know what face I would have left for him."
He lowered his head in disappointment, turned around, and sat down on the stairs by the door.
Mu Jin looked again. He wanted to help him, but was worried that Shen Jingli would be angry.
When Nian Hua came out of the kitchen and saw Mu Jin, he greeted him happily. "Second Master is back, and dinner is just about to start.
Mu Jin put down the fishing rod and fish basket, washed his hands in the kitchen, and then entered the living room.
Xun Er and Huaixin sat beside Shen Jingli, and were entangled with Shen Jingli, feeding them egg soup. When they saw him return, they shouted together, "Second Uncle."
Shen Jingli also raised his head, and said indifferently: "Who did you see outside the door?"
Hearing his words, Mu Jin knew that he had caught people's attention outside, so he said honestly, "When we were returning just now, we met Brother Yifann at the door. He said that sister-in-law would not let him in."
Shen Jingli laughed, and gave the last mouthful of egg soup to Xun Er to eat, before letting Jin Yu carry him to a chair at the side and scooping up a bowl of rice, letting him eat it himself.
Mu Jin took the soup Jin Yu gave him and continued to speak, "Sister-in-law, Brother Yifann is very concerned about Sister-in-law Qing Sheng, why don't you let them meet each other?"
"About this, you have to ask Qing Sheng, why are you asking me about the couple in the other family?" Shen Jingli saw that Xun Er was grabbing onto a spoon forcefully and sloppily scooping up the rice into his mouth, so he grabbed's hand and adjusted his posture so that he could eat.
"Sister-in-law, Brother Yifann is still waiting outside. He hasn't eaten for an entire day, go tell Sister-in-law Qing Sheng about it." Mu Jin pleaded.
Qing Sheng just came out of his room and heard this, a subtle expression flashed across his face, before he sat down expressionlessly without saying a word.
Nian Hua came out with the last dish and snorted. "If you don't want to eat, then just stay hungry. Who's begging him?"
He turned around and brought a bowl of ginseng soup to Qing Sheng, and reminded him: "This is fresh ginseng soup, drink while it's hot. As for those who aren't important, do you care if he eats anything, whether he's hungry or not, whether he has hands, feet and mouths, if he's hungry, won't he just cook himself? Who's going to show the Abomination Trick to? "
Everyone could not help but laugh when they heard his roundabout way of scolding Mu Yifann. Even Qing Sheng stretched his brows and cracked a smile.
"What are you all laughing for? What I said was all serious." Their laughter was so loud that it made everyone present feel embarrassed.
"You all …" He angrily stomped his feet and humphed, before turning around and heading to the kitchen, "I won't care about you anymore."
"Hahaha …"
Just as he walked out of the hall, there was a burst of laughter, and he went into the kitchen, his face red with anger.
"Alright, let's eat. If he continues laughing, he might get annoyed again." Jin Yu served rice and cloth vegetables to them.
"Jin Yu, you should also go down to eat. We don't need cloth vegetables." Mu Jin picked up a piece of chicken and waved it at Jin Yu.
Jin Yu nodded, and first gave Mu Xi a bowl of soup, and then gave him a bowl of food, before leaving.
As Mu Xi drank the soup, he stole a glance at Qing Sheng from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that he was in a good mood, he asked Mu Jin, "Uncle Jin, did my father really not eat for the whole day?"
Hearing this, Qing Sheng's actions paused for a moment. There were subtle changes in his expression, but in the next second, he continued to eat with a calm expression.
Mu Xi had been secretly looking at him. Seeing that he did not have any reaction, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, when I came in, he was so hungry that his face turned blue." Mu Jin casually said some nonsense. It was true that Mu Yifann's face was ugly, but if one was not hungry, it would be hard to say.
Qing Sheng still did not react. Picking up a piece of meat, he suddenly said softly, "My father is so pitiful …"
Qing Sheng suddenly put down his chopsticks and stood up, "I'm full."
His eyes looked coldly at Mu Xi, causing him to break out in a cold sweat. He lowered his head and ate the meat, then turned and returned to his room.
Only after they had left did Mu Xi turn around to take a look. With lingering fear in his heart, he said, "My Mama still seems to be angry."
"There's no need to talk about food, hurry up and eat." Shen Jingli picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
Mu Xi chewed on the meat as he glanced at the door. Dad, your son can only help you.
After eating, Mu Jin was still a little worried about Mu Yifann, so he picked up some food and brought it over for him to eat.
Mu Yifann was still sitting at the door, staring blankly at the sky. Upon hearing the door opening, he turned his head excitedly, and upon seeing Mu Jin, he drooped his head.
Mu Jin knew that he wasn't feeling well, and wasn't angry at his rudeness either. Instead, he sat down beside him and handed the bowl over to him, "Brother Yifann, eat first, don't ruin your hungry body."
"Did Qing Sheng get you to send it over?" Mu Yifann's eyes lit up.
Mu Jin wanted to tell him, against his will, yes, in the end, he still shook his head, "Brother Yifann, how did you make sister-in-law Qing Sheng angry?"
Mu Yifann lowered his head, sighed, and said: "It's me who has let him down."
"Brother Yifann, I'm sorry, I had to say it in person. If you don't go and explain it to sister-in-law, how can he forgive you?" Mu Jin patted his shoulder, and said sincerely.
Mu Yifann's eyes lit up, he felt that Mu Jin's words were reasonable.
"Alright, hurry up and eat. Otherwise, you won't even have the strength to climb the wall." Mu Jin handed the bowl over to him, then returned back to his room.
Mu Yifann held the bowl in his hands, and was at a loss of what to do, his mind kept thinking about what Mu Jin had just said.
The strength to climb the wall!
Climbing the wall!
Climb the wall!
That's right, if Qing Sheng did not come out to see him, he could go in and see him. Thinking of that, he immediately became energetic and started to eat heartily, the Brother Jin was right, only when he had eaten enough would he have the strength to climb the wall.
"..."
Qing Sheng sat under the lamp, absent-mindedly working on his needle and thread. His heart was thinking about how Mu Yifann did not eat, and was worried about whether he had starved to death … As he thought this, he stabbed the embroidery cloth with a needle. That idiot starved to death, so why should he worry about him?
He sighed helplessly, put down his needle and thread, and started pouring water from a kettle on the table. Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound on the roof, he thought it was a mouse, frowned, and was about to go get it when he heard a crackling sound. Then, someone dropped a tile from the roof, and he was startled, and just as he was about to scream out loud, he saw that person's face, and the sound went back into his stomach.
Mu Yifann fell to the ground on all fours, moaning in pain while clutching his chest. When he raised his head and looked at Qing Sheng, a fawning smile appeared on his face, but it was because the fall was too painful, his expression was slightly sinister, ugly to the point of death.
Seeing him like this, Qing Sheng was angry and worried. He wanted to turn around and ignore him, but he was worried that he would suffer a serious injury from the fall. Didn't he know that he was a scholar who was powerless, yet he still wanted to learn how to be a hero and fall to his death? Did he want to make him a widower?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He truly wanted to give him a few more kicks to completely trample him to death.
Seeing him like that, Mu Yifann nervously laughed, he wanted to grab his hand, but his body was in too much pain, he couldn't stop himself from screaming.
"Enough, stop screaming." Qing Sheng roared in anger and went over to help him onto the bed. After that, he ran out and asked someone to call the village's barefoot doctor over to take a look, afraid that he would really fall to the ground and become a cripple.
"Down from the roof?" Hearing Qing Sheng's words, Nian Hua felt that it was strange. Mu Yifann was just a weak scholar, why would he run and climb on the roof? Who gave him the idea?
Qing Sheng also felt that it was strange. Climbing on the roof was not Mu Yifann's style at all, furthermore, it was so stupid that he fell down, wasn't he afraid of falling to his death?
