Chapter 670: Messenger Bag
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Forget it, just accept Sixth Sister as your goddaughter! It’s not bad to have two goddaughters.” She didn’t want her son to be so scared by the word ‘child-bride’ that he didn’t dare to be home.
He would only be able to come home a few times a year after he left for the Capital.
Xu Pei’s eyes flashed behind his glasses. He said casually, “No need. I think you’re right. I support you unconditionally.” Half an hour ago, he had this thought.
However, after seeing his son, he gave up on that idea.
The son was a blockhead, but the father was not.
As a father, he had to think about his son first.
Even if there was only a one in a thousand chance!
In the Trinity Village.
“Su Qing, there’s a letter for you.” Carrying a canvas messenger bag and pushing a bicycle, the postman came to the door of the Su family. He knocked on the door and shouted, “Is anyone here? Su Qing, there’s a letter for you.”
“Coming.” Su Qing heard the commotion and looked up from the sewing machine. She ran out quickly. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the familiar postman standing at the door.
“Here you go!”
“Thank you. You’ve worked hard. Why don’t you come in and have a drink?”
“It’s okay.”
“Please wait for me.” Su Qing did not insist on inviting the postman in, but she went and grab him something instead.
Su Qing turned around and took a fresh gourd. Then, she stuffed it into the postman’s hand. “This is for you. I grew it in my garden.”
“Thank you, Su Qing. Didn’t your vegetables get stolen? I heard that several vegetable gardens have been intruded.” The postman didn’t stand on ceremony. He took the gourd and took a bite. It was indeed very sweet.
It was crisp and refreshing, very juicy too,
“Have you heard about it?” Su Qing felt embarrassed.
Big Sister was right. Second aunt was really out of control. Yesterday and this morning, someone’s vegetables in the village got stolen.
The villagers complained, but they did not manage to catch the thief. Everyone suspected that Second aunt was the culprit, but she did not admit it. No one could do anything. They could only watch as Second aunt went to town and sell vegetables every day, earning a lot of money.
Now, the villagers also followed Second aunt and went to sell vegetables in town. However, the villagers did not know how to talk like her. It was not easy to sell vegetables for them.
They failed to sell the vegetables, so they could only bring them back again.
After that, they hated Second aunt even more.
“We travel the streets and alleys, so we are the most well-informed.”
“Almost half of my vegetables were stolen. Fortunately, I discovered that in time, so my garden wasn’t ruined.”
“I heard that you’re the only one who caught the thief. Was it really your Second aunt?”
Su Qing was very embarrassed. “Erm… That’s right.”
“Tsk tsk…Your Second aunt is really shameless.”
Su Qing was even more embarrassed. As a junior, she couldn’t refute. She could only bite the bullet and listen to the postman uncle gossip like a woman. Her eyes inadvertently swept across the messenger bag on the postman uncle’s back.
Her heart thumped, and a white light flashed in her mind.
After the postman finished eating, he finally rode his bicycle away. Su Qing then reluctantly withdrew her gaze from the bag. She turned around and started drawing in her notebook, noting down what flashed across her mind.
Su Qing had never learned how to draw. Previously, she was shocked to find that Big sister could draw very well, so she followed suit and learned.
Now that she was drawing, it looked pretty decent.
