Chapter 61 Proposal to divide rooms
Zhou Ran looked at Ye Ximing with even more suspicion. It didn't look like it was nothing.

Ye Ximing changed the subject and said: "Let's go in quickly, mother and the others have to go back after dinner."

Zhou Ran saw that Ye Ximing really didn't want to say anything, so she didn't pursue the question any further.

After the family finished eating in the new house, Mrs. Zhang and the others left.

Before leaving, Ms. Zhang took hold of Xiaomei Ye, who was left behind by Zhou Ran, and told her, "You have to be more diligent here. Your third sister-in-law has to do embroidery work on weekdays. You have to do more work at home, do you understand?"

Mrs. Zhang actually really wanted to stay in the county seat, helping Zhou Ran and the others with cooking, washing clothes and cleaning the yard. However, Ms. Li was about to give birth and her family also had a braised pork sausage business. She really couldn't stay in the county seat. .

After Zhang and the others left and Zhou Ran and Ye Ximing returned to the room, Zhou Ran looked at the things that had not been placed and said to Ye Ximing: "There are still several empty rooms in the yard, so we don't need to sleep in one more room." ?”

Ye Ximing was startled, and his heart sank, "Why?"

Zhou Ran looked at Ye Ximing and said with a puzzled face: "We are not a real couple. You said before that you would marry me because you couldn't beat your father and mother. Now that your father and mother are not around, wouldn't it be better for us to sleep in separate rooms?"

"I..." Ye Ximing recalled what he said on his wedding night, and now he wanted to slap himself in the mouth.

When Zhou Ran saw Ye Ximing stopped talking, she thought he had agreed and said with a smile: "Then it's decided."

As she was about to get her things, Ye Ximing hurriedly grabbed her and said: "At that time, I thought I wouldn't live long, and I thought you didn't want to marry me, so that's why I said this. Now I am very grateful to my parents. It was then that I decided to marry you."

Zhou Ran:......

Ye Ximing glanced at Zhou Ran and saw that Zhou Ran didn't respond for a long time, so he had to continue: "Although my parents are not around, my little sister lives here, and my parents may come to the county at any time to let them know that we are sharing rooms. How can we explain to them if they sleep?”

"Why don't we two just stay the same for now?"

Zhou Ran finally agreed to Ye Ximing's request to sleep in separate rooms for the time being.

However, when she was lying in bed at night, Zhou Ran was still a little confused, and she kept thinking about the meaning of Ye Ximing's words at that time.

If she understood it correctly, what Ye Ximing meant was that he no longer wanted to reconcile with her. What about her? Does she want to make peace with Ye Ximing?
No, Zhou Ran shook her head. She was quite satisfied with her current life and she didn't plan to divorce just yet.

But does she like Ye Ximing?

Zhou Ran didn't have an answer. She had never liked anyone before, and she didn't know what it meant to be liked. She just felt comfortable getting along with Ye Ximing.

Forget it, forget it, don’t think about it anymore, let nature take its course.

After tossing and turning for a while, Zhou Ran finally fell asleep.

Hearing the even breathing coming from beside him, Ye Ximing opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Ran's sleeping face until midnight.

When Zhou Ran woke up the next day, Ye Ximing had already gone to Mr. Zou's house.

Ye Xiaomei was cleaning the yard. When she saw Zhou Ran coming out, she smiled and said hello, "Sister-in-law, are you up? Breakfast is being heated on the stove for you. Go and eat it quickly."

Zhou Ran nodded and turned to the kitchen.

She was alone and didn't bother to carry the food to the hall, so she just sat down on the small table in the kitchen and started eating. After eating, Zhou Ran was washing the dishes when she heard a knock on the door.

After putting away the cleaned dishes, Zhou Ran came out of the kitchen and saw an elderly woman standing at the door of the courtyard carrying a small basket of sophora flowers and talking to Ye Xiaomei.

Seeing Zhou Ran coming over, Ye Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly introduced to Zhou Ran: "Third sister-in-law, this is Aunt Guo who lives in the yard to our left."

Zhou Ran smiled and said hello to Aunt Guo, "Hello, Aunt Guo."

Aunt Guo smiled and said: "Hello, hello, I know your family just moved here yesterday. I thought that we would be neighbors in the future, so I came over to say hello. I hope I don't disturb you."

Zhou Ran invited Aunt Guo into the courtyard with a smile and said, "Aunt Guo is too polite. We should have come to visit you. We have just moved here, and we will have to trouble Aunt Guo to take care of her in the future."

Aunt Guo laughed heartily, "Oh, talk about taking care of me. From now on, we will all be neighbors. If you want to come to my place, just ask."

After saying that, Aunt Guo handed over the basket she was carrying and said, "The locust tree in our yard has just bloomed in the past two days. I picked some for you to try. Don't dislike it."

Zhou Ran said with a smile: "Look at what my aunt said, these Sophora japonica flowers are delicious whether they are scrambled eggs, making Sophora japonica cakes, making dumplings, or making steamed buns. I don't even have time to be curious about it. How can I dislike it?"

"How can so many delicious things be made from Sophora japonica? Our family only steams it."

After hearing this, Zhou Ran told Aunt Guo several ways to make sophora flowers in detail.

After hearing this, Aunt Guo said happily: "I will try these methods you mentioned when I go back soon."

The locust tree in their yard has blossomed a lot. The family has been eating locust flower wheat rice for the past few days, and everyone in the family no longer wants to eat it. It’s time to try something different to give everyone a change of taste.

The two chatted for a few more words. Just as Aunt Guo was about to say goodbye, there was suddenly a loud noise from a couple on the right side of the yard.

Zhou Ran was a little curious, but Aunt Guo was used to it, and advised Zhou Ran: "The two of them often quarrel. If you hear it, just pretend you didn't hear it. Don't rush to break up the fight."

In the past, neighbors like them would try to break up the fight when they heard the couple arguing, but the more they tried to stop the two, the more violent the fight became. Sometimes the two would turn on the neighbor who was trying to stop the fight, and gradually everyone became too lazy to take care of it. .

Zhou Ran smiled and thanked Aunt Guo.

After Aunt Guo left, Zhou Ran took Ye Xiaomei out for a walk.

Ye Ximing didn't come back for dinner at noon. Zhou Ran and Ye Xiaomei took a break after eating and were about to start embroidery work when Aunt Guo came to the door again.

Zhou Ran had no choice but to sit in the yard and chat with Aunt Guo.

Aunt Guo first told Zhou Ran how much her family loved the sophora flower cake she made at noon using the method Zhou Ran taught her, and then told Zhou Ran about a case accepted by the county government yesterday.

"I heard that that person was originally the accountant of the master's family. However, relying on the master's trust over the years, he embezzled hundreds of taels of money from the master's family. The master's family found out and reported it to the county government."

After Zhou Ran heard this, her heart moved. Aunt Guo must be talking about Zhou Heng, right?
"Then how did the county magistrate judge him?"

"The county magistrate naturally asked the man to hand over the money he had embezzled, but the man had already spent almost all the money he had embezzled, and he couldn't come up with that much money at the moment. I heard that the family was raising money in the past two days. Well, if you can’t raise the money, you’ll have no choice but to go to jail.”
