59 -58: Just an Average Monkey Spirit Compared to Her

“Hehehe, Sister Shumei, I just remembered that I have two newspapers from yesterday that I haven’t read yet.

I’m going to head back first, haha!”

“If you dare to ignore me, I’ll go and complain at your Aunt Wang’s doorstep!”

Lin Nianhe’s steps halted.

She slowly turned around, staring at Wang Shumei, who sat there nonchalantly on a small stool.

After a long time, she silently walked over, lifted the carrying basket, and began picking up the scattered items.

One jujube, two jujubes…

When Lin Nianhe picked up the third jujube, she couldn’t hold back and looked up at Wang Shumei: “Sister Shumei, you’re becoming more and more like me.”

Wang Shumei gave Lin Nianhe a roll of her eyes, pretending not to understand what she meant, while massaging her legs and mumbling, “Ah, still not fully better.

Who knows when I can start working again.

I wasn’t that worried before, but now…”

“You don’t know, I still have a brother and sister at home counting on me for support.

What am I supposed to do now?”

“Nianhe, if I starve myself and my siblings to death, whose fault would that be for these three lives?”

Lin Nianhe continued picking up jujubes, not wanting to chime in.

Seeing the opportunity, Wang Shumei cheerfully picked up the jujubes scattered around her.

She was indeed worried, but not to the extent of dragging Lin Nianhe into her troubles.

For this, she had been mentally prepared long ago.

After about ten minutes, Lin Nianhe tossed the last few jujubes into the basket and then stood with her hands on her hips in front of Wang Shumei, tilting her chin up slightly: “Sister Shumei, that ‘cousin’ of yours, he’s a truck driver, right?”

Wang Shumei was instantly terrified.

How did this girl know?

Seeing her expression, Lin Nianhe knew she hadn’t guessed wrong.

She tossed her braid, snorted arrogantly, and dragged Wang Shumei’s carrying basket into her room.

Wang Shumei wasn’t in the mood to fake illness anymore and stood up to go back, even closing the door behind her.

“How did you know?

Your brother told you…

no, that’s not right, he wouldn’t know either!” Wang Shumei frowned deeply, scrutinizing Lin Nianhe with a sense of inquiry and caution.

Lin Nianhe pointed to a corner of the basket: “There must be twenty pounds of jujubes there, right?

Look at the regret on your face when you were caught, obviously you hadn’t bought enough.”

“We, as Educated Youth, only get the chance to go to town during the slack farming season, at most twice a month.

What are you planning to do with so many jujubes, sell them?

You can’t possibly keep them all for eating, can you?

And besides, most people trade in eggs and grains, jujubes?

Who would want them except for weddings and childbirth?

In this little town, twenty pounds of jujubes could take five or six days to sell, right?”

Lin Nianhe’s face wore a mocking smile: “So, there’s no way you can sell them all yourself.

With that much stuff…

only a truck driver who travels far and wide carrying goods would have the networks to send them elsewhere.”

Wang Shumei’s heart went cold.

This girl was sharper than any monkey.

Wang Shumei cleared her throat awkwardly: “So you…”

“Shh.”

Lin Nianhe suddenly held up a finger, giving Wang Shumei a look to stay quiet.

Wang Shumei stopped talking immediately, closing her mouth tight.

In the courtyard, there was a faint sound of footsteps, like someone sneaking around.

At first, Wang Shumei heard nothing, but as the sound got closer, she confirmed someone was coming.

Wang Shumei tensed up instantly, subconsciously grabbing a small broom used for sweeping the kang, her palm sweating.

As she was on high alert, Lin Nianhe suddenly patted her shoulder.

That pat startled Wang Shumei so much that, if her legs had allowed, she would have literally jumped up.

Before Wang Shumei could cry out, Lin Nianhe covered her mouth.

Wang Shumei looked at Lin Nianhe, wondering if this girl was deliberately revenge on her.

Lin Nianhe paid no attention to Wang Shumei’s expression, holding her breath and concentrating, she listened carefully to the noises outside.

She didn’t think it was a thief; no one would dare to enter through the front door in broad daylight to steal something.

She just felt that this person was being somewhat strange, tiptoeing around.

This made her unable to help thinking about that “peeping Tom.”

After calming herself down, Wang Shumei also realized this and quietly moved next to Lin Nianhe, pursing her lips towards her.

Lin Nianhe did not move, she closed her eyes, focusing all her attention on her hearing.

The footsteps went through the front yard, circled around the kitchen, and finally,

stopped right in front of their door.

There were no more noises from outside, and the person was also holding their breath in concentration.

Lin Nianhe opened her eyes and looked at Wang Shumei.

Wang Shumei gripped the broom handle tightly, nodding seriously and solemnly at Lin Nianhe.

Lin Nianhe licked her lips, reached for the door handle, and in a flash pulled the door open.

As she swung the door open, she stepped aside, and Wang Shumei’s broom “swooshed” through the air.

Wang Shumei, true to her roots from the black earth region, swung the broom handle fiercely, as if it was a mighty weapon.

She had a bit of Aunt Wang’s spirit.

“Swoosh—”

“Ow!”

A scream followed the slicing air, the man outside howled, then with a thud, he sat down on the ground.

Wang Shumei was startled, her voice trembling slightly, “Did I kill him?”

Lin Nianhe came out from behind the door emotionlessly and said lightly, “Impossible, didn’t hit his head.

And judging by his full-voiced howl, he’s got plenty of days ahead of him.”

Only then did Wang Shumei relax and point the broom at the person, “You!

What are you sneaking around for?”

Lin Nianhe could also finally see clearly who the person wailing and clutching his shoulder was.

Unexpected yet reasonable, the person scaling the wall turned out to be a member of the Educated Youth Corps.

It was Fu Aiguo, responsible for carrying water in the front yard due to his inability to cook.

He clutched his shoulder, his dark face swollen to the color of a pig’s liver, obviously in great pain.

Lin Nianhe glared at him, “Speak, why did you run back to the Educated Youth Corps during work hours and eavesdrop by our door?

Are you trying to play the rogue?”

This really was a misunderstanding towards Fu Aiguo; he had no intention of playing the rogue.

Fu Aiguo felt an intense pain in his left shoulder, and he quickly shook his head, trying to defend himself, “I didn’t!

I just, I just wet my shoes and came back to change a pair!”

Wang Shumei snorted coldly, “You changed shoes and ran to my door for what?

You’ve been living at the Educated Youth Corps for all these years; could you get the way or the house wrong?”

“No, no…

I didn’t mean…”

Fu Aiguo’s eyes wandered, but he quickly thought of an excuse: “I just heard some noise in your house, I was afraid there was a thief, so I came to check!”

This rationale seemed to give Fu Aiguo a boost of confidence; his back no longer sore, his legs no longer weak, he sprang up from the ground, “Well, you’re all okay, I’m going to change my shoes.”

After he spoke, he ran off, not giving Lin Nianhe and Wang Shumei another chance to question him.

Fu Aiguo hurried back to the men of the Educated Youth Corps’ place, and after a while, he ran out with a new pair of shoes.

Wang Shumei watched Fu Aiguo’s retreating figure and asserted, “That man, there’s something off about him.”

Lin Nianhe looked at her, “Sister Shumei, he’s treating you like a fool.”

“Huh…

huh?”
