Chapter 114: I don’t do things that people criticize.

Chapter 114

When The Eighth Old Zhou had arranged to look for people back then, that was still understandable since it involved the big picture.

But now that the young couple had narrowly escaped death and returned safe and sound, this tactless guy was still lingering around in front of them...

While Mo Jiuye was talking to his family, he also saw The Eighth Old Zhou's actions.

He somehow just felt annoyed in his heart.

He reassured his family for a few sentences and walked towards He Zhiran's direction.

As if to declare his sovereignty, he took over the donkey cart reins in He Zhiran's hands, and at the same time pulled her to his other side, drawing a clear line with The Eighth Old Zhou.

The Eighth Old Zhou was not a tactless person either.

He simply couldn't control himself just now, which led him to talk to He Zhiran.

Mo Jiuye's current actions couldn't be more obvious, clearly hinting for him to keep his distance from He Zhiran.

He Zhiran was his lifesaver, he would never take the initiative to undermine their marital relationship.

So The Eighth Old Zhou deliberately coughed twice, "I still have things to do over there, let's talk another day."

Mo Jiuye indifferently replied: "Master Zhou, please go ahead with your business."

Peng Wang saw The Eighth Old Zhou walk away and chased after him, pounding him in the chest with his fist.

"Old Eight, I don't want to say any more words. Watch yourself."

The Eighth Old Zhou also knew that his approaching of He Zhiran just now was indeed somewhat inappropriate.

"Boss, don't worry! You know me, The Eighth Old Zhou, the best. I would never do anything that would cause criticism."

"Humph! In short, I have said my piece, whatever happens from now on is up to you!" After saying that, Peng Wang was too lazy to continue blathering and left with his hands behind his back.

Peng Wang had already tacitly acknowledged the existence of the donkey cart and did not ask about it further.

Half an hour later, the troop stopped by a not very big lake.

There was a water source here, convenient for everyone to make dinner.

The sisters-in-law were happy to see the Ninth Younger Brother and Ninth Younger Sister-in-Law come back, and they started cooking more enthusiastically.

Mother Mo always held onto her son, ceaselessly fussing over him.

The Fang and Xie families also came over now and told He Zhiran about what had happened after they went missing.

At the same time, they also told her a big news.

That was that when the He family was carrying He Ming down the mountain, they slipped and accidentally dropped the person.

Fourth Sister-in-Law unconsciously touched the purse given by her natal family members when they left.

She hadn't spent her silver at all and everyone had been using Ninth Younger Sister-in-Law's money so far.

If possible, she also wanted to buy some tasty treats for her family like Ninth Younger Sister-in-Law.

"Ninth Younger Sister-in-Law, where did you and Ninth Younger Brother buy such nice fruit?"

The other sisters-in-law were also very curious about this and looked toward He Zhiran when Fourth Sister-in-Law asked.

He Zhiran had already thought up an excuse for the fruit's appearance long ago.

"Sisters-in-Law, my husband and I happened to see the fruit while traveling, the seller was pushing a wooden cart through streets and alleys. I also don't know where such fruit will be sold down the line."

With this, she directly dashed Fourth Sister-in-Law's thoughts of continuing to buy fruit.

Fourth Sister-in-Law was clearly very regretful.

"What a pity, who knows when we'll encounter such nice fruit again."

Seeing this, Third Sister-in-Law chimed in, "If we come across fruit like this again, it'll be my treat for everyone."

Seeing the two of them talking to each other, the other sisters-in-law were envious inside at their having silver.

Eldest Sister-in-Law sighed, "Once we settle down in the Northwest, I'll go out to find a job to do, then I can also help the family somewhat."

Second Sister-in-Law echoed, "Eldest Sister-in-Law, I'll go with you when the time comes."

Seeing the sisters-in-laws' thoughts going astray, He Zhiran hastily reminded, "Sisters, let's first carry the fruit over and distribute it to everyone."

The sisters-in-laws' attention immediately fell back onto the two types of fruit, with some even unconsciously swallowing their saliva.

Four baskets of fruit. Two people carried one basket, and returned to where the families had concentrated to set up tents.

Seeing the Mo family women carrying several large baskets, the government clerks spontaneously crowded around without needing to be called.

Now the entire Mo family's women listened to He Zhiran's arrangements.

Eldest Sister-in-Law asked, "Ninth Younger Sister-in-Law, how should the fruit be distributed?"

"Two of each fruit per person first, then we'll see about the rest," He Zhiran said. She had already taken the lead to grab two peaches and two apples to deliver to Mother Mo.

Seeing this, Mo Hanying also came over to help distribute the fruit.

Everyone became all smiles when they saw the Mo family's women take out such nice fruit from the baskets. Even those government clerks no longer put on any airs and lined up orderly to receive theirs.

After Zhang Qing got the apples, he couldn't wait to take a big bite in front of the crowd, instantly giving He Zhiran a big thumbs up.

"Lady He, you've really got it, to actually manage buying such delicious fruit!"
