Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 152 Guess

"Could it be that Xu Yuzhi found out by chance and told her?" Luo Yanxing guessed.

"No, I asked Yulan, and her cousin didn't know anything about it either." Song Ying said as she walked to the fence. Through the gap, she saw Xiaoxiang kneeling on the ground with her back to them, and said to Luo Yanxing, "We'll talk about this later."

She shouted inside: "Xiaoxiang, get up first, let's find a solution together."

Xiaoxiang turned her head and shook her head at her, "No, my mother is very angry today, you go and discuss it first, don't bother me."

"Your mother is already asleep. She won't know if you get up and take a rest. The ground is cold and it's easy for the cold to enter your body if you kneel down!"

Xiaoxiang still refused to get up. "No, my mother is really, really angry today. If she knew that I got up secretly, she might sell me out."

"No need to persuade her, she is just stubborn!" Luo Yanxing was so angry that after her parents beat her, they also punished her by making her kneel in the yard.

But after making sure they were asleep, she immediately got up and went out to look for Xiaoxiang. Unexpectedly, Xiaoxiang refused to get up no matter what she said, and she almost wore out her lips from talking so much.

Song Ying sighed, took out mooncakes and glutinous rice cakes, and said to Xiaoxiang in the yard, "Then you eat something."

"You actually have food." Luo Yanxing was surprised and happy. She didn't expect that Song Ying, who was punished the most severely and was directly kicked out of the house, actually had something to eat. On the contrary, the two of them who were punished lightly were still hungry.

"The duck eggs were given by my second aunt, the mooncakes were given by Aunt Chen, and the glutinous rice cakes were given by my second aunt." Song Ying was also very emotional. She thought she would have to starve until she went to the city tomorrow.

After Luo Yanxing climbed over the fence, Song Ying handed her a mooncake and two glutinous rice cakes, forced them into Xiaoxiang's arms, and left with a worried look on his face.

The two walked all the way to the village entrance, away from every household, then climbed up the paulownia tree and sat down to discuss.

"Who do you think leaked the secret?" Luo Yanxing asked as soon as he sat down.

"It's unlikely that anyone could do that," Song Ying scratched her hair. "No matter who it is, leaking the secret won't do her any good. More importantly, we have no contact with He Tianyu at all!

If you think about it, I often go to Wutong Village to pick up my younger brother, so I am the person most likely to have contact with her, but I have never met her even once!"

"Could it be that Little Vegetable Garden let the cat out of the bag in school?"

Song Ying nodded. "After thinking about it, I think this is the most likely possibility. The problem is that my younger brother only associates with boys in the school, and He Tianyu's brother has not been in the community school for several years. Even if he let it slip, how did He Tianyu know?"

He Tianyu thought about her status and knew that she only played with Yuan Shan occasionally before. She didn't care to associate with other people, whether girls or boys.

Even if there was a girl in Wutong Village and she learned about this from her brothers, there was no need for her to tell He Tianyu.

She put herself in his shoes and realized that if she knew a very important secret that could not be revealed to others, she would only share it with Yan Xing and Xiao Xiang; if it was an ordinary secret, she would only tell girls she was familiar with.

When faced with someone who looks down on you and has a special status, the most you can do when you meet him/her is to say hello politely and then quickly walk away.

Even if someone wants to curry favor with He Tianyu, the things they tell He Tianyu should be closely related to He Tianyu.

Luo Yanxing thought about it and guessed, "Could it be that Yuan Qing let the cat out of the bag in front of Yuan Shan? Didn't Yuan Shan say before that He Tianyu ignored her? Maybe she wanted to reconcile with He Tianyu by talking about interesting things and secrets."

"But I only told Yuan Qing that we were collecting herbs to make money, and I didn't say that I was the one who took the lead. He Tianyu said straight away that it was me who led you to collect herbs to make money."

"Just because you didn't say it doesn't mean Xiao Caiyuanzi didn't say it. Maybe he knew that Yuan Qing knew about it, so he was very relaxed in front of Yuan Qing and let it slip."

That's possible.

There were lantern riddles during the Lantern Festival, and during the early days of school, they would walk for a distance after school every afternoon. Song Yuan was indeed very close to Yuan Qing.

Song Ying exhaled: "I will find a chance to ask him in a few days. This matter must be investigated thoroughly!"

The most important thing was discussed, and the two fell silent. After a long while, Luo Yanxing asked: "What are you going to do in the future? Do you really want to live alone? Is it possible?"

"Why not? I won't have to work anymore. I can spend all my time collecting herbs. I can even eat rice every day, let alone support myself!"

When Song Ying thought about the future, his heart was filled with emotion and he looked forward to his future life.

Luo Yanxing was not as optimistic as she was: "The money you earn now is enough to cover your daily expenses, but starting your own business will require a lot of big things.

You don’t have to rush to buy tables, chairs and benches, but you will need beds, pots and pans. The money you’ve saved probably won’t be enough to buy these, right?

And most importantly, it's not safe for a girl like you to live alone. What if someone has bad intentions? "

"It's still summer now, so I can make do with the bed. I can just find a scrap wooden board and cover it with straw. I can also use a clay pot for the pot, but I don't need a bowl. I can use a bamboo tube instead of a ladle.

I'm buying things one by one. There are still a few months before winter, so there's still time.

As for safety, isn't my great-grandfather's house next door? No matter what, we are all family relatives. If I encounter any problems, I can just shout and they will always come to help!"

Song Ying looked at the bright moon in the sky, her lips curved, "Although it will be hard in the early days, there is hope for the future. Everything I do will make my life better and better."

Hearing her say this, Luo Yanxing couldn't help but feel a little yearning. He was not afraid of a hard life, but was afraid of having no hope.

She let out a breath and said, "Forget it. At this point, we can only move forward. Isn't the kitchen door of Pan Di's house broken and has never been replaced? Why don't we ask her family if they still want that door? That door is quite thick and should be a good place to sit on the bed."

Song Ying thought of Pan Di's unreasonable father and immediately shook her head: "No, no, no, I don't want anything from her house. If you ask me to buy a new one later, I will be at a huge loss."

Pan Di's father was a bald man, stingy and unreasonable. One year, there were a lot of pumpkins in her vegetable garden. Pan Di's mother thought that the neighbors had taken good care of them in the past, so she picked some and gave them to them as a way of repaying their favors.

Unexpectedly, after her father found out, he went from house to house to collect money, saying that he had sold it to others, which made everyone feel embarrassed.

If she went to ask for the door panel, there was a chance that Pan Di's father would say that he sold it to her. Not only would she have to charge a higher price for it based on the price of a new board, but she would also be accused of taking advantage of his family.

You didn't get to eat the fish, but you got yourself into trouble.
