Shi Guangtian's "silly girl" sentence directly made Xing Min burst into tears and threw herself into the arms of the little mason.
"Little mason, after we get married, even if you ask for food in the future, I will follow you for the rest of my life and never leave you for even a step."
Shi Guangtian held Xing Min into his arms with great force, tears moistening his eyes.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here I won't let you suffer at all. Look at you, you're sweating profusely from running. I'll get you some water and go back after you finish it."
Shi Guangtian slowly pushed Xing Min away. After all, their affairs have not been settled yet. Even if they are settled,
It would be bad for Xing Min's reputation to be seen cuddling like this before they got married.
"Don't worry, my eldest sister said that you should collect the gift money and give it to my mother first, and she will find a solution for us regarding the house and land."
"No, Xing Min, I am a man and I want to marry a wife. I can never ask your sister to help me pay for it."
"Little mason, my eldest sister has money, so we can borrow it from her. When I don't have it anymore, I can just give it back to her."
"Xing Min, listen to me."
Of course Shi Guangtian knew that Xing Min was doing this for his own good, but he was a man and he was the one who got the wife.
This daughter-in-law hasn't married yet, so she has to spend her sister's money?
What is the difference between this and getting married? Shi Guangtian would never allow himself to do such a thing in his bones.
"Okay, I'll figure this out, don't worry."
"Little mason, I..."
Shi Guangtian looked at Xing Min with affectionate eyes and pressed down what she wanted to say.
"Wait, I'll get you some water."
Shi Guangtian ran away, while Xing Min stood firmly under the shady tree and looked at this tough man, with a look of happiness in his eyes.
"Um?"
Listening to what Xing Min said after running back, Xing Rui was really shocked by the little mason.
I didn’t expect that this young man had enough backbone not to spend her sister’s money. That can only mean there are two possibilities:
One, this guy is indeed a man. He wants face, but also has backbone.
On the one hand, this guy is a very sophisticated person, and he deliberately created this illusion to confuse Xing Min and Xing Rui.
Of course, Xing Rui is more willing to believe in the first of these two points.
After all, the little mason lost his parents very early and lived alone with his sister.
How could such a person save so much money if he was not a strong person?
"Don't worry, leave this matter to the eldest sister. I'll go find Shui Lan and you can do the work."
"Um,"
Xing Min nodded and watched the eldest sister get up, dust herself off and walk out.
Shui Lan was washing clothes in the yard. When she walked to the door, Xing Rui met Zhang Jingda going to the village well to fetch water.
"Sister Shui Lan,"
"Sister Xing Rui, are you here?"
Xing Rui saw that there was no powder applied on this aqua blue face, and the scars from yesterday were clearly hanging on her face.
"Sister Shui Lan, where are you doing your laundry?"
"Well, before I leave, I'll wash all my mother's quilts and clothes. I don't know when she'll be back next time."
Seeing Shui Lan about to stand up, Xing Rui hurriedly stopped him and said,
"Sister Shui Lan, please continue washing. I will put some medicine on your face first. You can take the rest back and apply some every day. It will be fine in a few days."
"Sister, thank you for thinking about me so much."
Xing Rui applied the muscle growth cream evenly on Shui Lan's face and put the remaining small bottle in her pocket.
He pulled up a small stool and sat next to it, watching Shui Lan wash clothes.
"Sister Shui Lan, I want to discuss something with you."
Shui Lan looked at Xing Rui and suddenly laughed ghostly.
"Is it about the house?"
Seeing how Shui Lan seemed to have seen through her, Xing Rui no longer planned to hide it from her.
"Yes, Sister Shui Lan, it's about the house."
"Tell me, who wants to buy the house?"
Shui Lan withdrew her smile and looked at Xing Rui seriously.
"To be fair to Sister Shui Lan, it's Xing Min."
"Xing Min?"
Shui Lan didn't expect that the person who wanted to buy the house would be Xing Min. Xing Rui told Shui Lan truthfully about Xing Min and the little stonemason.
Shui Lan also exclaimed when he heard it, with a hint of envy in his tone.
"I didn't expect this girl Xing Min to be so bold. What if I could be like this back then? Haha..."
Speaking of this, Shui Lan smiled bitterly. Xing Rui certainly knew that what she was talking about was what happened between her and Xu Youcai.
"Sister Shui Lan,"
Xing Rui lowered her voice deliberately and asked,
"You haven't forgotten that person yet, have you?"
"Ah……"
A sneer curled up from the corner of Shui Lan's mouth, and a cold wind suddenly blew in the hot weather.
"I liked him, but from the moment I married Brother Zhang, this person became a stranger to me.
I don’t want to see him again in this life, and I don’t want to meet this person again in the next life.”
It could be seen that there was more hatred in Shui Lan's eyes, which made Xing Rui feel inexplicably.
If you really let go, should your eyes be calm? Will the deeper the love, the stronger the hatred? Xing Rui doesn't understand.
"Sister Shui Lan, there is something I need to discuss with you."
"Whatever you want to discuss is up to you."
Xing Rui smiled,
"That's it. My mother asked for a gift of fifty taels. The little mason has only saved sixty or seventy taels of silver over the years and gave it to my mother. I'm afraid it won't be enough to buy your house and land.
.
In this way, I will give the money for the house and land to Sister Shui Lan, and you just tell the outside world that you can give it to Xing Min and others after they have two years of delay and they have money."
"Sister?"
After hearing what Xing Rui said, Shui Lan threw the clothes in his hand on the washboard and looked at Xing Rui angrily.
"Are you looking down on me, Shui Lan?"
"No, Sister Shui Lan, don't think too much. I know you have just opened a shop and don't have much money. Besides, I don't have any money. I can still come up with this little money."
"Xing Min has found the person she likes and is getting married to the person she likes. She can afford my Shuilan house. As a sister, I can't help with other things, but I can still help with this.
I, Shui Lan, don’t have a lot of money, but I’m not in a hurry to get the money from selling my house and land to live on.
If Xing Min buys a house or land, just go back and tell her that Sister Shui Lan is not in a hurry and will give it to her whenever she has the money.
Otherwise, I won’t sell it.”
Shui Lan said decisively, and Xing Rui was moved when she heard it. She didn't expect Shui Lan to be so generous, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
"They should be able to raise the money for the house, Sister Shui Lan, that's it.
They will give you the house money first, and the land money will be deferred for two years. If you don't agree, Xing Min and the little mason really won't buy this house."
Seeing that Xing Rui was talking about this, Shui Lan was not stubborn.
"Okay, let's do it like this, but we have agreed that the money for the land will be given to me at any time, and you can never lend me money.
If I find out, even if I sell the house, I will still get it back."
"knew,"
Before Xing Rui's laughter could stop, she heard a crying child running in from outside.
"Mom, they beat me, wuwuwu..."
Shui Lan, who was still smiling, saw her son running back covered in dirt, and quickly stood up from the stool.
