“Thank you, thank you, everyone! When we have a chance, let’s get together for a drink and celebrate properly, have a good time!”

His words immediately gained enthusiastic praise from everyone.

“Great! With your words, brother, we’ll definitely call you when we have a drink next time!” Di Yelei said, laughing heartily and patting his shoulder.

“Alright, then I’ll be waiting for Third Brother Di’s fine wine!”

While the men chatted happily, Liu Sisi had already been pulled into the group of women.

“Sisi! Come over here, there’s a spot!”

Just as Guihua was about to sit down with Liu Sisi, a burly figure squeezed in, pushing Guihua to the side and almost knocking Liu Sisi down. Fortunately, she quickly moved aside and sat on the other side of the bench.

“Excuse me, I want to sit here.”

As Miao Cuihua sat down, she almost sat on Liu Sisi, scaring her!

Almost everyone immediately turned against her when they saw who it was.

“Miao Cuihua, what are you doing? Sisi is pregnant now, how can you still be so reckless? If you hurt Sisi, can you afford the consequences?” The one who spoke first was not Guihua, but Ms. Xin sitting by her side.

A cold light quickly flashed across Liu Sisi’s eyes before disappearing. This Ms. Xin actually dared to harbor ill intentions towards her; she must not be indulged!

Miao Cuihua was frightened by Ms. Xin’s stern words, but only for a moment, and then she leaned towards Liu Sisi again without any concern.

“What’s the matter? I just didn’t see her, and it was not on purpose! Besides, it’s just pregnancy, when I was pregnant with my Fatty, I also worked up and down the hills, and nothing happened…”

While speaking, she moved closer to Liu Sisi: “Sisi! I didn’t mean to hurt you, did I?”

“No… I’m fine.”

With an awkward expression, Liu Sisi quietly moved to the other side of the bench. Miao Cuihua was rough, and she couldn’t compare to before, it was better to keep her distance.

The fellow villagers on the side couldn’t stand it any longer and laughed sarcastically, “Miao Cuihua, do you still have the nerve to ask? With your weight, if something really happened, how could she still be sitting here talking to everyone? It’s a shame you still have the face to sit here.”

“Why shouldn’t I? My relationship with Sisi is very good! It won’t be affected by your few words!”

Miao Cuihua seemed completely oblivious to people’s displeasure and spoke proudly.

“You probably don’t know yet, do you? Sisi is not only Madam Gan Senior’s granddaughter but also has a share in the small-town bookstore. Even my Shou Hou works at her shop. This month, he also brought back more than 3 taels of silver. That’s right, you heard it right, just this month, Shou Hou brought back 3 taels of silver, enough for you to chew on for a long time!”

Miao Cuihua’s voice was originally loud, and at this moment, the roles on the stage just happened to be changing tune. Thus, her voice instantly spread throughout the entire grain-drying field, immediately attracting everyone’s attention.

For a moment, all eyes turned and fell on Liu Sisi.

With Liu Sisi suddenly becoming the focus, an array of astonished, envious, jealous, excited, and incredulous gazes came her way. As various thoughts surged among the onlookers, the crowd fell into a complete silence.

Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Liu Sisi hurriedly tried to stop it.

“Miao Cuihua, what nonsense are you talking about? That bookstore belongs to Brother Nan, and I just have a share in it. The way you casually said it, it seemed like the shop has become mine. Do you even know how to speak?”

“Eh! If you have a share, isn’t it your bookstore? Besides, the silver that Shou Hou brought back isn’t fake!”

Miao Cuihua had a look of smug satisfaction on her face: “Sisi! If there’s any good work opportunity, don’t forget about me! I might not have many talents, but I do have strength. You can count on me!”

Miao Cuihua laughed heartily and proudly pounded her chest a few times.

Liu Sisi frowned repeatedly, but Miao Cuihua still felt good about herself.

“Enough, stop messing around! Sit down, you’re blocking everyone’s view of the opera.”

Fed up with her antics, Liu Sisi quickly pulled her down, seating her beside herself. Liu Sisi then glared at her and whispered into her ear, “If you keep talking nonsense, after the new year begins, Shou Hou won’t need to help in the bookstore anymore!”

“Don’t, Sisi—I know you think my Shou Hou is a good person, so you specially introduced him to help out in your bookstore! I, Miao Cuihua, understand all this!”

It was then Miao Cuihua realized Liu Sisi’s expression had changed. Cuihua immediately stopped talking and leaned over with a flattering smile.

“Didn’t you come to me initially, asking me to find work for Shou Hou? Why are you saying this now?”

Liu Sisi was angry and feeling increasingly uncomfortable!

Miao Cuihua was absolutely inconsiderate of others. When Liu Sisi first came to her, asking her to help find work for Shou Hou, the bookstore just happened to need someone. It was strange how the words came out of Miao Cuihua’s mouth.

“Sisi, I didn’t mean it that way! I… I’m not good with words, so please don’t take it to heart.”

Miao Cuihua wanted to explain, but seeing Liu Sisi’s expression change in the firelight, she didn’t know how to begin.

“Enough! Watch the opera.”

Liu Sisi could not help but shift a little away from Miao Cuihua, and without saying more, she lifted her head to pretend to watch the stage performance in seriousness.

In fact, she was not really paying attention to what was happening on stage.

Miao Cuihua tried to chat several times but stopped when she realized Liu Sisi was not paying her any attention.

At first, Liu Sisi felt okay sitting there, but after some time, she started to feel suffocated. Especially the performers on stage, their singing was like noise, and sitting there made it unbearable.

“Sisi, here, eat some of this. You’ll feel better.”

Guihua, seeing the uneasiness on her face, quickly handed her something to put in her mouth. Instantly, a sour taste spread over her tongue, refreshing her expression.

“This is sour plum. Its sour and sweet taste is really good. Moreover, it’s homemade and perfect for pregnant women. It not only satisfies cravings but also refreshes the mind.”

Guihua chuckled softly, making Liu Sisi feel grateful and smile.

“Thank you, Sister Guihua. You understand me the best.”
