Miss Yu Decides To Change Her Fate After Being Reborn! - Chapter 387
387 Shy
After Mr. Wang left, Xiao Sheng saw some unfinished firewood in the courtyard. Thinking about how Mr. Wang was the only man in his house and how Mr. Wang still had to chop firewood even though he was so old, Xiao Sheng took an axe from the side and started chopping. Yu Bing boiled hot water in the kitchen to take a bath.
The two of them planned to go back that day, so they didn’t bring a change of clothes.
Before Mr. Wang left, he found clothes that he and his wife had only worn a few times and lent them to Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng so that the two of them could change into them after showering.
Although Yu Bing was a little obsessed with cleanliness, she was still able to adapt to the environment.
!!
She sweated profusely during the hot day, so if she didn’t change her clothes, it would be useless even if she took a shower. It was fine if she couldn’t change her undergarments. Now that she had clothes she could change into, she wasn’t that picky.
After Yu Bing took a shower, she changed into a tank top and pants. After she washed the clothes she had changed out of, she hung them up in the courtyard.
From the corner of his eye, Xiao Sheng saw Yu Bing’s two slender and fair arms and felt his mouth go dry. After he coughed lightly and moved his body, he continued to chop firewood with his back facing Yu Bing.
In the future, it was normal for girls to wear tank tops in the summer, so Yu Bing didn’t think there was anything wrong with her appearing in front of Xiao Sheng in a tank top.
After she was done, she even approached Xiao Sheng and said gently, “Hurry up and take a shower. Otherwise, you might not be able to when Mr. Wang comes back.”
Xiao Sheng replied without turning his head, “Got it. There’s still some firewood, so I’ll take a shower after chopping them. Rest first. I’ll wait for Mr. Wang to come back and ask about the purchase.”
Hearing this, Yu Bing didn’t say anything else. Because there was no toothbrush, Yu Bing mixed warm water with salt and started to rinse her mouth. Then, she went to the living room to get the mugwort leaf that Mr. Wang had specially picked and returned to her room to burn it.
Mugwort leaf could ward off humidity and prevent mosquitoes.
Xiao Sheng heaved a sigh of relief when Yu Bing returned to her room.
Looking at the closed door, Xiao Sheng was a little nervous and expectant. After cutting the remaining firewood, he went to the living room to get a change of clothes and went to the kitchen to get hot water to shower.
When the room was filled with smoke from the leaf, Yu Bing covered her nose and left the room. After estimating that the leaf was almost burnt, she opened the door to let the mosquitoes and smoke out.
At this moment, Xiao Sheng had also finished showering and came to the courtyard.
Yu Bing saw that Xiao Sheng was wearing a tank top and knee-length shorts. His firm muscles and perfect body contours were quite eye-catching.
Such a masculine man was just her type. Seeing Xiao Sheng dressed so casually, Yu Bing suddenly felt a sense of blissfulness.
Xiao Sheng, on the other hand, blushed awkwardly.
When Yu Bing saw Xiao Sheng’s obedient look, she chuckled.
Xiao Sheng was a little embarrassed. How could a man like him be coyer than a girl like Yu Bing? Hence, he relaxed and ignored Yu Bing’s gaze as he washed his clothes in the courtyard.
When Yu Bing saw that the smoke in the room had almost dissipated, she stopped teasing Xiao Sheng and turned around with a smile to return to her room.
At the foot of a tree.
A forty-year-old woman with short hair and wearing a gray shirt walked to the foot of the tree. After she sat down beside the woman who was holding the soles of her shoes, she asked curiously, “Jiang Mo, do you have a rich relative who came to the village?”
The woman holding the soles of her shoes was wearing a fashionable plaid shirt and her withered hair was tied back in a bun. When she heard Chen Ni’s question, she was confused. “Why are you suddenly asking this?”
Chen Ni replied, “When I passed by, I saw smoke still rising from the kitchen of your third brother’s house and heard sounds from inside.”
Jiang Mo frowned as she said in disdain, “Maybe my mother-in-law came back with that little burden. I already said that it’s normal for children to catch a cold and have a fever, so why does he listen to those doctors and insist on hospitalization? Is hospitalization an option for poor people like us? He even came to ask my family for money. Does he think we have too much money or something?!”
Chen Ni wanted to retort when she heard this, but she thought about how it was inconvenient for a third person to know what she was about to say, so she looked around and whispered into Jiang Mo’s ear, “I suspect that your father-in-law might have found a way to make money! I eavesdropped on your father-in-law and my in-laws saying that your father-in-law wanted flour for 0.26 yuan per catty. He wanted as much as my in-laws had. Your family might really have a low-profile rich relative! If there’s anything good in the future, don’t forget me!”
