My wife is super prosperous

Chapter 38 My sister is hiding something from her

37
In rural areas, as soon as you go out, you can see the top of the mountain, and Shidun Village is no exception. As soon as you leave the house, you can see the mountains stretching, green and steep.

But this is just an illusion. In fact, the hills behind Shidun Village are not steep, and even children a few years old can climb up to the shortest hill in one go.

It was almost dusk at this time, and the men who went up the mountain to cut firewood and the women and children who were looking for goods from the mountain began to descend the mountain.

When Shi Zining went up the mountain, there were quite a few people who greeted her proactively, which surprised her, because in her memory, the original owner was taciturn, willful and selfish, and was not a popular owner.

Shi Zining went up the mountain full of confusion, and he didn't meet his sister for a while, but the mountain was densely forested, so it was not easy to find someone.

Shi Zining thought that his sister was much more familiar with this mountain than himself, so he didn't worry too much.

It was getting late, Shi Zining planned to pick up some twigs and go back, and bring a machete to chop some big firewood tomorrow.

Shi Zining had just picked up a few branches when she suddenly heard a flurry of footsteps coming from the forest in front of her, and the footsteps were coming towards her.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Shi Zining dodged behind a big tree vigilantly.

"sister?"

After seeing the person coming, Shi Zining came out from behind the big tree in astonishment, and asked nervously, "What happened?"

"Zining, didn't you go to the county seat? Why are you here?" Shi Ziyue was also stunned after seeing Shi Zining.

Shi Zining made sure that his sister didn't seem to be hurt or afraid of something, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll be back as soon as the vermicelli is sold out. Mother said sister, you go up the mountain to collect firewood. Where are the firewood?"

"Ah?" Shi Ziyue's eyes widened, her face turned red, she twisted her sleeves at a loss, then turned her head to look at the forest behind her, and said in a low voice, "The firewood. The firewood is inside."

"Sister, what were you doing running so fast just now?" Shi Zininghu asked.

"It's nothing." Shi Ziyue's face turned redder than before, and she lowered her head and pulled Shi Zining into the woods: "Zining, the bundle of firewood is too big for me to lift. Let's divide it into two loads and go down the mountain."

Walking forward for a while, Shi Zining saw two bundles of firewood next to a big tree. This bundle of firewood could be seen to be cut from an old fir tree.

"Sister, did you bring a hatchet?" Before Shi Zining went out, he clearly saw the hatchet at home lying under the eaves. Did my sister chop it off with bare hands?

This is impossible!

Shi Ziyue was not good at lying, so she didn't answer at all, and started to share the firewood. "Zining, it's getting late, let's go down the mountain quickly, otherwise grandma and mother will be worried."

Shi Zining took a look at the newly cut fir stump one meter away, and found that the uneven knife marks on the stump had been cut very deeply, and it was impossible for an ordinary woman to do it.

"Zining, quickly find two sticks to pick up firewood, we're going down the mountain." Shi Ziyue shouted at Shi Zining while tying firewood.

Shi Zining took a deep look at his sister, turned around and found two sticks as poles, and the siblings picked up firewood and left the forest.

Seeing her sister's back going down the mountain, Shi Zining was sure that her sister had something to hide from him!

Who cut these firewood for my sister?
When the siblings returned home, it was just getting dark, and Shi Sanyong came out from the yard. It seemed that the two rushed forward to take the firewood from Shi Ziyue's shoulders, and helped her carry it into the yard.

"Zining, I brought you all the sweet potatoes from my house. You can make more vermicelli this time. If these sweet potatoes are not enough, tell me tomorrow, and I will go to my uncle's house to pick some up for you. You." Shi Sanyong stood at the gate of the courtyard and said to Shi Zining.
