Leaving from the village committee, Li Shaoan returned to the old house.

Thinking of Chen Baozhong's promise to have a reply tomorrow at the latest, he was not in a hurry to go out and simply spent the night in the old house.

When I arrived at the old house of Li, the door was still open. Ma Hui's convenience store was still in operation, and there were no one else living in the house. Fortunately, the room next to it was used as a warehouse to store goods.

Several villagers had just left the convenience store and bought some daily necessities here. When they saw Li Shaoan coming, they did not forget to say hello.

"Shaoan, why are you back?"

Ma Hui was bent over to sort out the goods at the counter. Yu Guang saw someone coming to the convenience store again, so he looked up and didn't expect to see Li Shaoan.

"San Sister-in-law, how is the business of the convenience store recently?"

Li Shaoan dared not reveal any abnormalities, and did not mention the third brother Li Shaomin at all, just pretending that he never knew about it.

Ma Hui glanced at Li Shaoan behind him, but didn't see anyone else, and asked, "Why are you the only one?"

Li Shaoan said: "I'm the only one, come back to do something. I'll spend the night here today. Is there a place to sleep?"

Ma Hui smiled and said, "There are no ready-made beds. After the elder brother and sister-in-law moved to the county town, they put away all the things in the old house. If you want to live there, it won't be a hassle. I'll just make the bed for you."

"Then thank you, my third sister-in-law. I'll go to the back of the house to take a look."

Li Shaoan didn't dare to talk to Ma Hui, because he was afraid that the words would be missed, so he quickly found a reason to go to the yard behind the house.

From Li Shaoguo's illness and hospitalization to his new home in the county, it was almost two months since he moved to his new home in the county. After the whole family left, the backyard was gone without anyone to clean and became very depressed.

Anyway, it’s still idle, so Li Shaoan found a bamboo broom and started cleaning the backyard.

"Oh, Shaoan, why are you still sweeping the yard?" Ma Hui came to the backyard. Seeing that Li Shaoan was so busy that he was sweating, he took out the scarf from his pocket and handed it over, "The bed has been laid for you. If you are tired, you can go and rest first."

"Hey, thank you, my third sister-in-law." Li Shaoan took the scarf and wiped his sweat, and said, "I'm not tired yet. I'll clean the yard first."

"You are thirsty, I'll pour you a glass of water."

"Sister-in-law, no need, I'm not thirsty."

"Look at you sweating profusely, I'll go pour water, you'll wait here." After that, Ma Hui went to the inner room.

The more enthusiastic Ma Hui was, the more guilty Li Shaoan felt. He knew that the third brother had done something outside, but he couldn't tell his third sister-in-law, which made him feel very distressed.

Soon, Ma Hui poured a cup of warm water, walked to Li Shaoan, and handed the water to him.

Li Shaoan thanked him, took the water nervously and started drinking.

"Shao'an."

"ah."

"Sister-in-law has something to ask you about."

Li Shaoan felt a little shocked and said inwardly that what the third sister-in-law could ask about was nothing more than the third brother. If she asked about the third brother’s recent situation, how should she answer?

Although he was uneasy, Li Shaoan still had to show that he had nothing to do.

"Sister-in-law just ask."

"That...why are your third brother doing in the town?" Ma Hui's face was filled with a faint melancholy. "In the past, he always told me that he was doing business in the town, but he hadn't sent money to home for a long time, and he had never come back. I just met him in the hospital last time when my elder brother was sick and asked him what he was doing. He said he was doing business and didn't tell me what he was doing. I always felt uneasy."

Li Shaoan said it was broken. It seems that even if Ma Hui doesn't know about this for the time being, she will have to discover it sooner or later.

"Actually, I don't know very well what business the third brother is doing..."

"But I have heard some rumors recently. Someone in our village went to the town to see your third brother seem to be with another woman. Could it be..."

Li Shaoan forced himself to hold on to the shock in his heart, pretended to be calm, and said, "It shouldn't be possible. Third brother shouldn't be that kind of person. Has anyone else seen it wrong?"

Ma Hui shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't know if it's true. In fact, your third brother's performance over the past few days has always made me feel that it is not normal. Maybe it's really like what others said, he's going outside with other women..."

"San Sister-in-law, don't think so. Such a sensational thing is unbelievable."

"You don't know, now I am the only one who takes Jia Jia to live in the village. If you hear too many gossips, you will inevitably think more..."

"Listen to others, don't take it seriously."

"Or what if you take me to town, I want to see it myself."

When Li Shaoan thought he had escaped a disaster, Ma Hui's sudden words almost made him jump from the spot.

It seems that this matter has been in trouble in Ma Hui for a long time. Today, she took the opportunity and wanted Li Shaoan to take her to the town. Whether the rumors are true or not is only known by myself if I see them with my own eyes.

Li Shaoan felt like he was playing drums, and was worried. Could it be that he really wanted to take Ma Hui to the town?

Suddenly, Li Shaoan thought of an excuse to shirk and quickly said, "San Sister-in-law, why don't you next time? I have to go to the village committee tomorrow morning and I can't go to the town today."

Ma Hui was a little disappointed, but Li Shaoan said so clearly that he felt embarrassed to persevere. He nodded and said, "Okay, then next time."

Finally, Ma Hui was dealt with, and Li Shaoan breathed a sigh of relief. If he really took Ma Hui to Yangqiao Town today, the scene would probably be even more intense than Mars hitting Earth.

...

At night, Li Shaoan couldn't fall asleep for a while while lying on the bed.

The matter of contracting the land, the matter of the third brother and the third sister-in-law, and the matter of Sun Liping’s parents, all the things that happened in front of me were upset.

After thinking about it, I had no idea what to do, so I fell asleep like this in a daze.

By the morning of the next morning, Li Shaoan came to the village committee as promised and wanted to inquire about the land contract like Chen Baozhong, but he didn't know how the village committee discussed it after discussion.

Before he could reach the door of Chen Baozhong's office, he met Wang Changgui, who had not met for a long time.

Wang Changgui is Li Shaoan's elder, and the two of them are still a little vague. When they see Wang Changgui, Li Shaoan naturally wants to come forward and say hello politely.

Before he could say a few words, Wang Changgui pulled him away from the village committee and came to the edge of the paddy fields in the village.

Wang Changgui, who had just been in a hurry, was not in a hurry after arriving at the edge of the field. He slowly took out the tobacco and rolled up a dry tobacco and started smoking on his own.

"Uncle, didn't you say you wanted to discuss the contract? Why did you bring me here?" Li Shaoan asked.

It was winter and the fields seemed particularly desolate. Wang Changgui looked at the bare rice field, spit out a puff of cigarettes, looked at Li Shaoan and said, "I heard about your business. It is not a trivial matter to contract so much field."
