Chapter 40

Xue Song's life has been busy and fulfilling.

Before meeting her, he had never thought about the relationship between men and women. First, he didn't have time to think about those things. Second, he was running around in the mountains all day, so he rarely had the opportunity to deal with women of the right age. Among the girls he had contacted, he was more familiar with her. The only Chun Xing was his cousin, and the rest was Xia Hua, the girl from the same village with whom he hadn't spoken a word or two.

Because he knew that there was no possibility between himself and Xia Hua, he rationally regarded her as a passerby, and did not pay attention or respond to her.

But when it was her turn, why couldn't he be so rational?
The possibility of him and her is even smaller than the possibility of him and Xia Hua, it doesn't exist at all.

She is the second brother's daughter-in-law, his younger sibling, and he can't even be tempted.

But some things are out of his control.

Just like the injury, closing his eyes and feeling her gentle and careful touch, he couldn't help being moved, he thought she was a kind and good girl, they were sorry for her, he wanted to earn money to make her live well Some, to make up for his connivance and second brother's rape.

Just like that meal, she served him egg custard with her own hands and told him to eat more. He couldn't help being surprised and nervous, surprised at her considerate care, and nervous because his eyes stayed on her too much for a while, afraid of being caught by her. Discovered, afraid of being discovered by the third brother.

Just like that time when she went to the field, she pulled weeds skillfully to do farm work, and she smiled and played Lao Bianer for her second brother. Miss Qianjin?But she seems to be able to do everything, she is willing to bear the burden of hard work, but she seems to be used to it, very contradictory.Her life experience and her origins have become a thorn in his heart, he wants to pull it out but dare not touch it, he is afraid that one day, she will disappear as suddenly and horrified as when she came.

And that late at night, she panted delicately under his second brother, and the noises floated into his ears. Under him, hitting her fiercely again and again...

Because of so many uncontrollable things, when he found that he began to secretly look at her unconsciously, when he found that he began to desire and even wish that she would care about him as much as he cared about his second brother, Xue Song felt that he should not continue to suffer. That strange throbbing left and right.He wants to dispel those thoughts that shouldn't be there, and even if he can't do it in the end, he still has to bury them in his heart, so that he can't let it affect his life, the lives of her and his second brother.

The moonlight was like water, and the coolness washed away the heat on his body. He pushed open the door in front of him and walked in with light steps.

He still has to build a house, plant land, and there are so many other things to be busy with, as long as he doesn't look at her anymore, he will definitely be able to do it.

If people are always prone to feelings because the night is too quiet, then at dawn, everyone will automatically return to normal life.

On the second day, Xue Shu held the firewood and brushed the pot refreshedly, Ye Ya washed his hands and sat at the table kneading dough and rolling out cakes, Xue Song went to the side early to dig the foundation, Xue Bai leaned against the red tree trunk in the mountain, quietly under the shade of the tree Read a book quietly.Everyone is doing what they should do.

When it was time to eat, Xue Bo told them interesting stories from the book or school as usual. Ye Ya occasionally met his eyes, and found that his eyes were clear and open. She lowered her head guiltily, and secretly blamed herself for thinking too much yesterday. It's not a beautiful woman with a beautiful country, the third brother is well educated, how could he be that kind of...

As for Xue Song, he still had that steady and calm expression, even if the three of them laughed together, his eyes were only a little softer.

In such a familiar atmosphere, Ye Ya felt very at ease. The elder brother didn't seem to have any troubles that she guessed. The third brother was still the third brother who was as gentle as jade. That idiot.

After the rainstorm, the grass grew so fast that it disappeared in just a few days, and the weeds in the field were almost level with the foot-high stick seedlings.

The farm work was urgent, so the building of the house had to be postponed for a day.

After breakfast, Ye Ya followed Xue Song and his brothers to the field by the river to pull weeds and thin out the seedlings.

After all, it is a wasteland. No matter how diligently they take care of it, the growth of the sticks is not very good. The seedlings are not as strong as the seedlings in other fields. Two or three seedlings came out, and some of them were only weeds. The extra seedlings had to be transplanted into the empty pits and filled up one by one, so that we could harvest more in autumn.

There are few seedlings and more grass, today's work is not easy.

Wearing a straw hat, Ye Ya squatted among the ridges of the field and slowly moved forward, pulled up the weeds and threw them to the edge of the ground, then dug the larger seedlings next to the main seedlings and planted them in the empty pit, and threw away the ones that were too small.The cob seedlings grown in a pit are like a litter of piglets. There are only so many sows, and whoever can snatch the most and eat the most will grow fatter.

At this time, the gap between men and women came out. When she first arrived at the field, Xue Song deliberately chose a field with more seedlings and less grass to share with her, but half an hour passed, Ye Ya looked up, and the two brothers had already run to the front I went, and I was far away from her.

She rubbed her waist. She didn't know why, but her waist was sore today. Could it be that she worked too hard last night?
Thinking of Xue Shu's persistence in that matter, she blushed, although she gradually became interested, but at the end, she had to cry and beg him to end it hastily, looking at her aggrieved, as if she didn't eat enough kids.

A grasshopper jumped onto her hand and jumped away quickly.

Ye Ya came back to her senses, looked at the field ridge behind her, stood up with her waist, walked to the ground, carried a bucket to the river to fetch water, and was going to water it when she came back, the sun was getting more and more poisonous, she was afraid that after a long time, Newly planted seedlings are dying.

The home is only a few dozen steps away from the river, and when Ye Ya was walking that way, a mother and son just happened to walk over from the opposite bank.She looked at each other's positions, and deliberately walked eastward at a diagonal, so as not to run into them head-on.When she bent down to fetch water, the two had already reached the middle of the river, and she glanced curiously.

Next to her was a woman in her forties, with an ordinary face, but a very fair complexion, and she was born rich, she did not look like a mountain person at first glance.The person supporting her was a tall man in his twenties, when Ye Ya looked over, he happened to meet his surprised eyes.She quickly lowered her head, turned and walked back.After the heavy rain, the river rose, and even if they walked in shallow water, the trouser legs of the two of them were rolled up to their knees, and she shouldn't have looked at them carelessly.

"Hey, little lady over there, are you also from Calabash Village? Why do I think you're a bit unfamiliar?"

It was the woman who greeted her on her own initiative, her voice was calm and mellow, making it easy for people to get close.

Ye Ya looked at the ground, Xue Song had already noticed this side, and called Xue Shu to walk over together, then turned sideways, saw both of them put on their shoes and socks and put down their trouser legs from the corner of their eyes, before turning around, nodding at the woman "Xue Shu is my husband-in-law, are you?"

Song Hainiang was surprised, but soon smiled, leaving Song Hai, walked to Ye Ya, supported her shoulder and praised: "It turns out that she is Xue Shu's new wife, look at this, that silly boy is really lucky By the way, I am Xia Hua's second aunt, do you know Xia Hua?" She smiled and patted Ye Ya's hand, then pointed to the person behind her and said, "That's my son, if you see him in the future, just call him Brother Song will do it."

Song Hai respectfully bowed to Ye Ya, "Hi brother and sister, if you need my help in the future, just come to me."

Ye Ya froze as soon as he said "brother and sister". His voice...if she hadn't met someone, she really thought it was Xue Song calling her!
After a brief daze, seeing that the other party was still looking at her expectantly, Ye Ya had no choice but to call "Brother Song" and looked away.Although the man behaved well, his eyes made her feel instinctively uncomfortable.

"Auntie, you are here." Xue Song stood beside Ye Ya and greeted Song Hainiang expressionlessly.

Song Hainiang knew that Xue Song couldn't laugh naturally, so she didn't care, "Yeah, the Qian family will send a gift tomorrow, and Dahai and I will come over early to help and join in the fun. Alas, this day flies so fast, tomorrow I will give you a gift." , Xia Hua is going to marry on the 28th of next month, and I, as an aunt, really can't bear it!"

"Then you go to the village quickly, we won't delay you, there is still work to be done in the field." Xue Song turned sideways, as if giving someone away.

"Okay, keep busy, let's go first!" Song Hainiang gave him a meaningful look, and walked forward.

"Xue Song, see you later." Song Hai raised his hand, wanting to pat Xue Song on the shoulder, but Xue Song took a step back to avoid it.

Song Hai pursed his lips and followed with a cold snort.

As soon as they left, Xue Song didn't delay, picked up the bucket that Ye Ya put aside, and strode back.

Even though she knew that he was not interested in Xia Hua, Ye Ya was still shocked by the news. The time Xia Hua came to her at the beginning of the month, she didn't feel anything. A girl who is deeply in love with her eldest brother is really going to marry a man who is good enough to be her father as a concubine.

As a woman, she couldn't help feeling sorry for Xia Hua. It was one thing to disapprove of Xia Hua's attitude towards her eldest brother, but another to lament her fate.

Alas, it can be seen that whether a woman's life is good or not is not directly related to whether the family has money or not.For money, poor people can sell their daughters. In the same way, rich people will sell their daughters in order to get more benefits, but they sell them for a better look.As long as their parents are greedy, these girls will have to let them handle their lives. If you want to blame it, it's because you didn't meet the good parents who love their daughter...

Ye Ya felt a little depressed.

"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Xue Shu asked while wiping her sweat.

Ye Ya looked up at him, and the worry in his eyes made her feel relieved again, "It's okay, let's go too." She smiled at him, and her steps became brisk.Even if life is bad at the beginning, as long as you work hard, you will always see hope.

Seeing her smile, Xue Shu stopped worrying and walked side by side with her.

When he returned to the field, Xue Song had already finished watering Ye Ya. When he was putting the wooden bucket, he looked back at her and saw her pale face, so he couldn't help telling: "Sister and sister, if you are tired, go back first, there are people here. My second brother and I are enough."

Ye Ya shook her head, "How can I get tired so quickly, big brother, don't worry, I'm fine." With three acres of land, and so much work, the three of them will be busy until dark together, saying, She squatted down and got busy.

Xue Song looked at her helplessly, she was so stubborn, obviously virtuous, but he didn't feel happy at all, he would rather she be lazy.

The figure in front of him did not move for a long time, Ye Ya looked up at him suspiciously.

But when she made a movement just now, Xue Song had quickly withdrawn his gaze, turned around and walked forward, leaving only her tall and straight back.

Ye Ya stared blankly for a while, then lowered her head.
