Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 708 - 707: Wait Until He Grows Up

After washing all the vegetables, Shen Qinglan’s legs were already numb.

She shook them gently a few times before getting up and saying, "Auntie, is there anything else to do?"

"Uh..." Mrs. Jiang thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, there isn’t."

"Oh," Shen Qinglan nodded, "Then I’ll head back."

"Leaving so soon?" Mrs. Jiang sighed lightly, "Won’t you stay a bit longer with your sisters-in-law?"

Shen Qinglan shook her head, "I’m hungry."

Zhang Xiaolian and Zhuang Ruyue both burst into laughter at the same time.

"Hungry, are you?" Zhang Xiaolian said, "There’s some lotus seed porridge in the kitchen, your second sister-in-law made it, would you like to try it?"

Zhuang Ruyue nodded with a smile, "It’s sweet."

Shen Qinglan said, "They’ve slaughtered a chicken at home."

The people in the courtyard paused simultaneously, then burst into laughter.

"Alright, alright," Mrs. Jiang laughed, "We won’t keep you, hurry back and eat your chicken."

Shen Qinglan looked at them puzzled, not understanding why "they’ve slaughtered a chicken at home" was funny.

She nodded, "Then I’ll head back."

After she left, the people in the courtyard couldn’t help but chuckle again.

The woman adding firewood laughed, "This third girl is truly amusing."

"She certainly is," Mrs. Jiang laughed, "She’s seen so much more now. She used to barely speak. Even if you asked her many questions, she’d only answer with a word or two."

"Really?" the woman chuckled softly, "She does seem like someone who doesn’t talk much."

Zhuang Ruyue was also surprised, "Qinglan used to not talk much?"

"Wasn’t she?" Zhang Xiaolian laughed, "Sometimes you’d ask her ten questions, and she might not even give you a total of ten words in response, truly cherishing her words like gold."

Zhuang Ruyue laughed, "I really couldn’t tell."

When she met Shen Qinglan, Shen Qinglan talked quite a bit, explaining things clearly.

"Qingju used to complain about her being so cold," Mrs. Jiang laughed, "Fortunately, she talks more now, otherwise, we’d all be worried sick."

A girl with such strength, yet so few words, they were really afraid she’d be alone all her life.

Having walked not far from the house, Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows upon hearing their conversation.

When she entered the house, Xichun, Fu Dong, and a few others were busy setting the table.

Meanwhile, Shen Qingping was sitting on the side holding Li Ting, and Shen Qing’an was continuously making funny faces, seemingly trying hard to make the little fellow laugh.

"Back already?" Shen Qingju said, "Is everything done over at Auntie’s place?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Yeah," Shen Qinglan replied, hurrying over to Shen Qingping, "Let me hold him for a bit."

But as soon as she reached out, Li Ting curled his lips, seemingly about to cry the next second.

"Uh..."

Shen Qinglan paused, having no choice but to silently retract her hand.

Her appearance seemed a bit pitiful.

Dong Yao laughed, "This little guy is very wary of strangers. You’re not home often, he doesn’t recognize you. Give it a few more days, and it’ll be fine."

"You don’t like Third Sister?" Shen Qingping glared at Li Ting, "If you don’t like Third Sister, I won’t hold you anymore."

Li Ting didn’t understand what he was saying. As soon as he spoke, Li Ting just grinned happily and laughed.

Dong Yao corrected Shen Qingping’s words, "Qingping, Little Ting doesn’t call her Third Sister, he should call her Auntie."

Shen Qingping gave an "oh" and quickly corrected himself, "If you don’t like Auntie, then I also won’t like you anymore!"

Shen Qinglan chuckled, rubbed his little head, and said, "He’s still young, he doesn’t understand what you’re saying."

"Is that so?" Shen Qingping pouted, "Alright, I’ll wait until he grows up to tell him."

Everyone heard this and couldn’t help but show expressions of amusement and exasperation.
