Chapter 614: Guilty

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Not to mention youve forgotten, its hard for normal people to remember.

In those days, every household had a vegetable garden. Even the workers in the village had small plots along the roadside, cultivating a piece of land amidst the bushes.

Generally, there was little need to buy vegetables, making it hard to sell them. Villagers rarely sold vegetables. They focused more on agricultural and sideline products.

Have Second Aunts vegetables sold out? Su Wen pinched another piece of pigs ear, sneaking a bite. Just as she did, she met Zhou Hengyangs teasing gaze in the courtyard. Seeing his playful expression, she guiltily turned away, pretending not to notice.

Sigh! She was useless.

Look at him, he was so casual. She had antic.i.p.ated feeling proud and elated after being with the male lead, but instead, he seemed happier and far from smug.

She couldnt show off; instead, she looked guilty.

Meanwhile, someone appeared calm and composed, more relaxed and attractive. If observed closely, he seemed more handsome than ever.

Su Wen was becoming jealous.

Yet, as she envied others, she didnt notice her reflection. She was radiant, with tender skin and watery eyes. Her almond -shaped eyes were more charming.

If Su Wens appearance was once rated nine out of ten, it was twelve now. She exuded a womanly charm that could captivate any man.

Its all sold out. When we came back, everything was gone, Su Xiu said, her tone envious. Second Aunt had stolen many vegetables from the garden last night, estimating they could sell for at least three dollars.

What could three dollars buy?

Su Wen frowned, pondering. I dont think this is a good thing. Second Aunt is clever, she might continue stealing. What?

You think shell steal again?

Think about it, stealing vegetables for an hour or two at night can earn three dollars. Shell continue stealing, Su Wen accurately predicted Zhang Chunxiangs behaviour.

What should we do? Su Xiu asked anxiously.

Let me think.

Zhou Hengyang, preparing to wash clothes in the yard, overheard their conversation. He chimed in, Dont worry about it. As long as she doesnt steal our vegetables, its fine.

Even it she steals again, there are no more vegetables left tor her to take, Su Wen replied. She stepped out of the kitchen, glancing at the person scrubbing clothes on the washboard. She smirked meaningfully. Why are you so ruthless? Are we just going to let her steal our vegetables?

Youre only realizing Im ruthless now? Zhou Hengyang gave her a wicked smile. Ill show you just how ruthless I can be tonight.

Su Wen blushed. She had lost the first round decisively.

She couldnt compete with him; she couldnt. She realized now she was no match for someone thick-skinned and scheming. While she thought of ways to stop Zhang Chunxiang from stealing vegetables, he merely observed from the sidelines.

Anyway, dont worry about it. No one cared when you were bullied back then, Zhou Hengyang said, his tone indifferent and self-loathing, recalling his past indifference when Wenwen struggled in the village.

Fine! Ill ask Su Qing to thank the families that helped catch the thief last night. They owe them their grat.i.tude..
