Witty Wife, Better Life

Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Pickling Sauerkraut (Part 2) Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Pickling Sauerkraut (Part 2) Dashuan’s wife watched Shen Yunfang bustling around and tentatively asked, “Yunfang, I’ve heard that in the past couple of days, Shen Dafu’s daughter has been getting up at dawn to gather pigweed by the river. Sometimes, she even has to go back in the evening. Do you know about this?”

Dashuan’s wife knew that the two girls used to be as close as one. The pigweed that Shen Dafu’s daughter had to gather was even contracted to Shen Yunfang to collect. Now, with the current situation, could it be that the two girls had fallen out?

Shen Yunfang paused in her work and then realized that the Shen Dafu mentioned was Shen Yingxue’s father.

“Really? She came to me a couple of days ago, claiming she was too busy with school to pick wild vegetables and wanted me to help her with that. Look, she’s found the time now. There’s always time if you squeeze a bit,” said Shen Yunfang, feigning exclamation.

In fact, every morning before going to gather the grass, Shen Yingxue would come and knock on her door. Shen Yunfang would pretend not to hear and wouldn’t open the door. She felt that she had made her refusal quite clear. Whether Shen Yingxue genuinely couldn’t see it or was just being persistent, she would still come and knock on her door every morning.
