MTL - Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

Chapter 20 Meeting my brother-in-law by chance

Gu Panxia squatted on the ground panting and reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

 “Looking forward to summer?”

Gu Panxia felt her eyes darken. When she looked up, she saw a man in his early twenties standing in front of her.

Gu Panxia was startled, and then he called out tentatively, "Uncle?"

Zhou Zheng grinned, two rows of white teeth suddenly showing, and his face was filled with sunshine.

He touched his head and said, "I thought I recognized the wrong person, but I didn't expect it was really Panxia you!"

 This is Zhou's younger brother and the original owner's brother-in-law. He is currently studying in the town.

Although he is not as smart as Yang Ping, he is better than Yang Ping because he studies hard, so he also won the boy's prize three years ago.

Yang Ping is exactly sixteen this year, three years older than Gu Panxia. Although he is smart, he is arrogant and has always looked down on a humble peasant girl like her.

She couldn't understand that a man like that would look with disdain every time he met the original owner. However, the original owner didn't know whether he was pretending to be stupid or was really blind. He actually put all his expectations on such a person!

Different from Yang Ping, Zhou Zheng is not only gentle and polite to people, but also looks no worse than Yang Ping. Although he is a little darker, he looks like a typical sunny boy.

 “Uncle, is get out of class over?”

Gu Panxia stood up and looked at him with a smile on her face.

A flash of suspicion flashed in Zhou Zheng's eyes. To be honest, he had seen his little nieces who were not talkative. When he saw them, they all looked cowardly.

 But the little girl in front of him not only asked him questions, but also smiled. He was suddenly in a trance, wondering if he had recognized the wrong person?

“Uncle, are you okay?”

Seeing that Zhou Zheng was only looking at him with a frown, but never spoke, Gu Panxia couldn't help but ask.

"Huh? Oh! Um...Pan Xia, where did you get the beans? Why do they grow so long?"

Realizing that he had been rude in front of his niece, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but awkwardly change the subject.

 Gu Panxia looked at the beans in the basket, her mind spinning rapidly, and finally she smiled happily: "This... I helped my aunt from the same village sell it. I don't know where she got it from."

When Zhou Zheng heard this, he naturally didn't think much about it. He naturally knew that Gu Panxia wouldn't have such beans to sell, because he had only been to Yuehe Village last month.

“Uncle, can you help me carry the beans to the market? I can’t move them alone!”

Gu Panxia looked at the beans in the basket with a look of helplessness.

“Okay, there’s still half a stick of incense left before lunch break. I’ll help you move it over.”

After he finished speaking, he picked up the basket weighing more than eighty kilograms and left.

Gu Panxia couldn't help but be speechless. She really didn't expect that her uncle, a scholar, had quite a lot of power!

Thinking about it, every time Xiu Mu comes home, he will go to work in the fields, unlike Yang Ping, who is a typical pretty boy.

Seeing that the stalls were all full, Gu Panxia searched for a long time, and finally found only a relatively private corner.

“Uncle, just stay here!”

 Zhou Zheng put the basket down, and there were two obvious marks on the palm of his hand.

Gu Panxia looked at him with some worry, "Uncle, are your hands okay?"

Zhou Zheng stroked the scars and said with a smile: "It's okay, then you can sell beans here. My uncle will come to see you after he goes to school."

 Gu Panxia waved her hand and declined, "No, uncle, I may have to go back earlier, Pandong is still waiting for me!"

Zhou Zheng nodded suddenly, scratched the back of his head, and said with a naive smile: "That's it, you go back earlier, don't keep Pandong waiting too long, uncle will leave first!"

Gu Panxia nodded and saw Zhou Zheng walking a few steps and then turning back again.

"This is the money your grandma gave you to buy meat. Since I met you, you can go buy it yourself soon. Your grandma is busy with farming this month and may not be able to visit you until next month. If I have time this month, I will go again. "

 After saying that, he put the money into Gu Panxia's hand and hurried away without waiting for her to refuse.
