Chapter 17: Qian Mo Mo
Chapter 17
After selling things, Luo Ge did not stay for long.
She bought some food on the street to bring back to the two little ones, and also spent three cents to buy two hair ties for tying hair, and then went to meet up with Wang Sister-In-Law.
"Luo Ge, here! Here!" Wang Sister-In-Law had already been waiting at the city gate. Seeing Luo Ge appear, she waved her hand eagerly.
"Sorry, have you been waiting for me for a long time, Sister-In-Law?"
"No no, I just got here. Let's go back now?"
"Ok."
With that said, the two walked side by side towards home.
Not until the two figures disappeared did Qian Momo withdraw her gaze. Her originally squinted eyes because of obesity narrowed even more now.
Her huge body stood out in the crowd.
"Luo Ge?" Was she the Luo Ge she was thinking of?
Feeling the uncomfortable stare disappear, Luo Ge also relaxed. Wang Sister-In-Law looked back as well.
"What's with Miss Qian, just staring at people like that. Her gaze makes people very uncomfortable."
Hearing Wang Sister-In-Law's words, Luo Ge was surprised: "Miss Qian?"
"Yes, that's right. It's the eldest daughter of the Qian Family from the village next to ours, Qian Momo, the one Old Lady Wang wanted to match with your Gu Jinchen."
"My maiden home is from the same village as her. She was staring at you just now, the fattest girl over there, very recognizable."
Afraid that Luo Ge wouldn't remember, she mentioned it again. That eldest daughter of the Qian Family has a bad temperament. She didn't get along with Qian Momo back when she was in her maiden home. fr𝐞𝐞𝚠e𝗯𝗻ovel.c𝐨m
That person really has a hot temper, unreasonable, vicious and likes to bully others, similar in age. She often took advantage of her family background to oppress people.
She even fought with Qian Momo before!
Wang Sister-In-Law spoke directly, not afraid that Luo Ge would mind. After all, these two were incomparable. Anyone with eyes and a brain would know to choose Luo Ge.
"Don't worry about it, she can't possibly have any connection with your Gu Jinchen. Your family has the rule of one lifelong wife. She doesn't stand a chance."
But in the end, she was newly married, afraid Luo Ge wouldn't feel assured, so she mentioned it again.
Hearing this, Luo Ge raised her eyebrows. So the Gu family had this rule.
"Mm, Sister-In-Law you don't need to worry. I'm clear on this. I was just a bit curious."
"Curious about what, Qian Momo? I know a lot, let me tell you about her?"
A gossipy woman's nature, before Luo Ge even spoke, Wang Sister-In-Law had already started chattering.
She told her everything she knew about Qian Momo as they walked.
Hmm... Because of their hostility, there weren't many kind words. Most of it was complaints to Luo Ge.
"Let me tell you, what I regret most is feeling like I didn't perform well enough when I fought her. Her stature gave her quite an advantage."
"Even now I still feel a bit at a loss. Really want to find a chance to fight back, or I'll always feel upset about this."
That wretch falsely accused her of stealing a man, that's why she fought with her. This was a big deal, how could she not always feel upset about it?
If she hadn't been at home then, with her whole family and neighbors to prove her innocence, she really would have drowned herself.
Before parting, Wang Sister-In-Law was still very indignant.
Luo Ge listened silently, already understanding. Seeing Wang Sister-In-Law's angry expression, she could only gently comfort her.
Anyone would feel upset being falsely accused like this. Speaking it out now could also provide some relief.
"But evil will be rewarded with evil. Now I have married into a good family, my in-laws are reasonable, my husband dotes on me, and my child is obedient.
While she is still at home, an old spinster unwanted for marriage!" Thinking this, she felt much more relaxed.
"That's true." Hearing her words, Luo Ge nodded with a laugh.
"But I don't like the look in her eyes just now. That person has a vicious mind. You still need to be careful." After pondering, Wang Sister-In-Law still reminded Luo Ge.
"Mm, I'll be careful."
"Alright, I won't say more to you. It's getting late, I should go back and make dinner. Tie Dan's father and them should be back from the fields soon."
"Okay."
...When Luo Ge walked through the door, she found that the little ones at home were actually all home. The two kept glancing at the door from time to time, not knowing what they were looking at.
"What are you guys looking at?" Puzzled, she asked aloud.
As soon as she spoke, she clearly felt the man's gaze brighten. Then the two little ones rushed over.
"Little auntie!"
"Little auntie!"
"Why did you only come back now?" They spoke in unison, the last sentence seeming to carry some grievance?
"What's the matter? Did something happen at home after auntie went out?"
Seeing the two little ones so clingy, Luo Ge was a bit confused. Meeting Gu Jinchen's gentle gaze, she accidentally saw the tenderness filling his eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.
"No, Older Baby and Second Baby just missed auntie."
Before when little auntie wasn't home, the house was always quiet.
They rarely spoke.
Ever since little auntie came, the house became lively. They really liked that feeling.
Today Luo Ge went out for a bit. Huddling at home, they felt it become cold and quiet like before. So they missed Luo Ge.
Not long after she left, they started waiting for her to come back until now.
Hearing Older Baby's words, Luo Ge laughed helplessly. She rubbed the two little ones' heads and took out the buns she bought in town from her basket.
"Do you miss auntie, or the things auntie bought?"
"Here, the ones I bought for you are still warm. Eat up, let auntie make dinner."
Patting the two little ones' heads, Luo Ge wanted to go to the kitchen, but seeing a certain man's longing gaze, she paused.
Silently handing him a bun too: "Yours, I have some for you too."
That longing gaze, as if saying 'Theirs only, none for me?' Really couldn't stand it.
Sure enough, seeing her actions, that person's expression eased visibly. He first stuffed a bun into her hands before starting to eat his own.
"I'll go help you." After putting down what was in his hands, he bounced after Luo Ge into the kitchen.
The two little ones followed one after the other as well.
Luo Ge: "...."
The 'men' were really clingy today.
