The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

"Brother Lin, don't take it to heart. We all know that Zhang Erni is here to cause trouble on purpose." The aunt next door had heard the noise a long time ago and naturally knew what Zhang Erni had cursed. She spoke out to comfort her.

Brother Lin was originally in a very low mood, but after having a good fight today, he became more open-minded.

Although many people are speaking for him now, he can see clearly the character of the villagers. Most of them help their relatives and not others. He has no roots in Anning Village. At most, when something happens, those who are not involved will say something pitiful, but after a while, they will continue to make up stories.

He turned around and looked at Chu Xiao. Seeing that man gave him a thumbs up, Brother Lin curled the corners of his lips and smiled.

He felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. Perhaps many times, the confidence in life is not only given by relatives. Friends like Chu Xiao and Luo Ge'er can also give him great support.

Maybe there is also himself. As long as he can be like Chu Xiao and not care about the gossips of the villagers, it is not impossible for him to live a decent life.

There was no excitement here, so everyone hurried home to cook.

Some of the rice outside the door was accidentally stepped on by someone. It hadn't been threshed yet, so it didn't have much of a impact. They put it in order and prepared to have lunch.

The meal had basically been prepared, with just two vegetables left to be fried. If Zhang Erni hadn't made such a fuss, they should have been eating and drinking wine by now.

"Brother Lin, I am sorry for you today. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have encountered such a thing for no reason."

Gu Pan spoke with an apologetic look on his face. He had originally planned to go home after apologizing.

However, Chu Xiao said that he could not go there until he finished his work, so he could only come back in disappointment and finish his afternoon work first.

Brother Lin raised his head and smiled at him: "What does it have to do with you? At most, I will be criticized by others. I don't care."

"That's right. Who in the village hasn't been gossiped about by others?" Zhang Yiming came over and patted Gu Pan, then said to Lin Ge'er, "If you want to live happily, you have to be thick-skinned. Whatever others say, you just live your own life."

Gu Pan was a man of few words in normal times, and he rarely argued with others like he did today, so he couldn't be a thick-skinned person.

Over the past six months, he has been talked about a lot by the villagers because of Zhang Erni's matter. Sometimes when he meets villagers on the road, they ask him why he hasn't brought his wife back, and he can only smile awkwardly.

Even if I curse him countless times in my heart for being nosy and saying it’s none of my business, I would feel offended if he said it out loud.

He listened to Zhang Yiming's words today and thought carefully before speaking, and pondered for a long time before he could really say them out loud.

As soon as I said these complaints that had been suppressed for too long, it seemed as if the depression in my heart was relieved a lot.

"Thank you." Gu Pan uttered these two words softly, not knowing whether he was speaking to Brother Lin or to Zhang Yiming.

The weather changes a lot in autumn. It is still very hot when the sun comes out, but you can feel the coolness when the sky becomes cloudy. It feels like it was summer yesterday, but it is winter today.

"Brother Xiao." Yan Sanmei came running over with an oil-paper bag in her hand: "I'll bring you a few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake that my mother made."

Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. Zhao Guizhi steamed the osmanthus cake in advance and cut it into small square pieces that can be stuffed into the mouth.

Chu Xiao's hands were a little dirty, and adhering to the principle that it would not make him sick if he ate something unclean, he pinched a piece and put it directly into his mouth.

Zhao Guizhi probably didn’t add much sugar. This piece is soft enough to chew but not very sweet.

"My eldest brother brought back a lot of hazelnuts when he sent mooncakes to Brother Qingyun. I just grabbed a handful and they were a bit hard to chew."

"Bite it open directly?" Chu Xiao said with a smile, "You're not afraid of breaking your teeth."

The hazelnuts picked by farmers in the mountains are all raw, but most of those sold in the town are fried, and they taste much more fragrant. Yan Sanmei had never eaten this before, and she liked it very much after taking a bite of one. She had originally planned to bring some over for Chu Xiao, but she ended up eating them while walking on the way, and they were all gone before she even got there.

"I'll throw some stones at you when we get back."

Although Yan Sanmei has reached the age to get married, she never thinks about those things all day long. All she thinks about all day long is working and what delicious food to eat.

Even Zhao Guizhi had mentioned it several times that this girl loved snacks more and more, and she had never been noticed to be a greedy person before.

What child is not greedy? In the past, when the family conditions were poor, it was difficult to have enough food, so naturally they would not think about other food. But recently the family conditions have improved a little, and Yan Sanmei keeps the copper coins she earns for herself. As a thirteen-year-old girl has money in her pocket, she is even less willing to feed herself.

There are many livestock at home, so after Chu Xiao eats two pieces of cake, he has to hurry up and cut the grass while the grass is still not dry and yellow. Naturally, the more he cuts, the better.

A gust of wind brought a cloud that blocked the sun completely. Chu Xiao didn't pay attention and his hand grabbed a thorny ball next to him.

He retracted his hand with a hiss, but he had grasped it too tightly and the small thorns on the thorn ball had already pierced his hand.

Although this thing didn't cause a big wound, it was really painful when it was pricked.

Yan Sanmei, who was not far away, noticed that he was constantly fingering his hands, so she asked, "Brother Xiao, what's wrong with your hands?"

"I've been pricked by a thorn." Chu Xiao wanted to pull out the small thorn, but his hands were too dirty and he couldn't see where the thorn was stuck.

"Let me see." Yan Sanmei hurried over to help look for it, but couldn't find it after looking for a long time.

She had been pricked by this thing before, so she knew how painful it was when it pierced her flesh: "Go home and wash your hands first, then you can use a needle to pick it out."

"It's okay, let's mow the grass first and come back later." Chu Xiao didn't take the pain seriously. It was just a few small thorns and it wouldn't interfere with his work.

Yan Sanmei is young and doesn't know much. These thorny balls grow everywhere, and children often pick them and throw them at people. They can get stuck in people's clothes.

Xiao Hui and Mei Qiu usually go out with her to cut grass, and they have a lot of dirt on their fur. It takes her a long time just to pull it off.

The two continued to work cutting grass. After a while, Yan Zhenshen also came over with a backpack on his back. It was only autumn harvest time now, and there was nothing to do in the fields, so it would be better to join them and prepare more fodder for the livestock in the winter.

As soon as he came over, Yan Sanmei said that his elder brother had good eyesight and asked Yan Zhenshen to help pick out the thorn.

"Where did the thorn stick?" Yan Zhenshen held Chu Xiao's hand and looked left and right.

"It's about that thorny ball. We'll talk about it later when we get back." Now that he didn't touch it, he didn't feel any pain.

Yan Zhenshen looked a little unhappy, frowned and said: "The thorn ball is poisonous. If it is not pulled out in time, it will become red and swollen."

"Huh?" Chu Xiao and Yan Sanmei looked over at the same time. How could these thorn balls everywhere be poisonous?
