Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 696 - 695: Can’t Be Bothered to Talk to You

"Weren’t you the one who started being petty?" The person snorted coldly.

"When was I ever petty?" The woman snorted back, "I was just sighing with emotion, how does that make me petty?"

"I can’t be bothered to talk to you." The person waved a hand dismissively and walked away with disdain.

The others, seeing this, also hurriedly left.

The woman spat, "Humph, just because the man at home is lazy and incompetent, and nobody wants him!"

Shen Qinglan, who had just gotten off the carriage, turned her head to look at the woman.

The woman was stunned for a moment and then gave her an awkward smile.

Shen Qinglan nodded slightly at her and then led a few young girls inside.

"Third Sister!"

Nine-year-old Shen Qingping eagerly dropped the pen in his hand and ran over joyfully.

This scene reminded Shen Qinglan of years ago when she went to town alone, causing the Shen Family to search everywhere for her. She remembered when she returned, a then-six-year-old Shen Qingping clung to her leg, snot and tears all over his face.

Unexpectedly, three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Shen Qinglan smiled, gently stroking Shen Qingping’s head, which was almost up to her shoulder, and said, "Writing?"

"Yes!" Shen Qingping nodded. "It’s the homework assigned by the teacher."

Shen Qinglan smiled slightly, "Our Qingping is so well-behaved!"

Fu Dong and the others stepped forward to bow, saying, "The maids greet Fourth Young Master!"

Shen Qingping waved his hand, "You sisters don’t need to bow."

Shen Qinglan heard this and chuckled, looking at Fu Dong and the others, "When we are in the village, there’s no need for such formalities."

"Yes!" They responded in unison.

"Miss!"

Nian Xia came out holding a basin of baby clothes, and upon seeing the people in the courtyard, she couldn’t help but joyfully shout.

Shen Qinglan, holding Shen Qingping, nodded and smiled at her, "Nian Xia."

The others also smiled and called out, "Sister Nian Xia!"

Nian Xia stepped forward and smiled, "Why are you all here?"

"We came with the young lady!" Piao Xue laughed, "Sister Nian Xia, are you about to wash clothes for the young master?"

"Yes!" Nian Xia nodded, "I had some free time, so I thought while the weather is still sunny these days, I’d wash all the young master’s clothes."

Piao Xue said, "Sister Nian Xia, let me go with you to wash them!"

"Alright!" Nian Xia asked Shen Qinglan with a smile, "When did you return, young lady?"

"Yesterday I arrived in Jinxi Town," Shen Qinglan said softly, "and rushed back early this morning."

She glanced in the direction of the main hall and wondered aloud, "Where are the others?"

Usually, once they heard her voice, wouldn’t they hurry out to see her?

"Oh!" Nian Xia quickly replied, "The young madam is in the room soothing the young master, and the lady just went to see the eldest young lady with Lian Qiu and Nian Xia. The second young master and Qingfeng went out, and the master and Qingning, along with the first and third masters, went up the mountain to help build a shed."

Shen Qinglan nodded, thinking to herself that it made sense that only Shen Qingping came to welcome her back.

"You all can go about your business." Shen Qinglan looked at her and said, "I’ll go inside to see my sister-in-law and little nephew."

"Go ahead, young lady," Nian Xia smiled, "The young master just woke up and is in a bit of a mood; he cried quite a bit earlier."

Shen Qinglan glanced at Fu Dong and the others, then said to Nian Xia, "I remember there’s an empty room next door, right?"

Nian Xia nodded, "Yes, they stayed there the last time they came."

"Oh, so they’ve stayed there before?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow and looked at Fu Dong and the others, "Since you’ve stayed there before, you don’t need anyone to guide you, right?"

"No need, no need!" Fu Dong laughed, "We can go there ourselves."
