Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 714 - 713: He Seems Afraid of You

Zhang Lu was momentarily stunned when he saw Shen Qinglan, his eyes avoiding hers, not daring to look directly at her.

"Ah Lu, why are you here?" the old man asked with a smile.

Zhang Lu replied, "I heard from my mother that you’re here to catch crabs, so I came to have a look."

"Oh," the old man nodded with a smile, looking at Shen Qingping and Shen Qing’an. "Let your brother Ah Lu carry Grandpa Zhang’s basket for you."

Shen Qingping and Shen Qing’an obediently put down the basket, looking at Zhang Lu and said, "Brother, here you go."

Zhang Lu nodded, bent over and picked up the basket with one hand, supporting the old man with the other, and led the way forward.

Shen Qinglan chuckled, that Sun He was indeed trouble; look at him disappear and all the young people in the village are getting back on track one by one.

"Miss, do you know that person from earlier?" A Man asked in confusion.

"Nope," Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows, "Why? Is there something wrong?"

"No," A Man shook her head, "I just felt like he was a bit afraid of you."

Shen Qinglan innocently raised an eyebrow, "You must be mistaken, I’m not a monster. What’s there to be afraid of me for?"

A Man tilted her head, "Maybe I did see it wrong!"

Shen Qinglan chuckled lowly, "Let’s go home."

Back in the day, she had beaten Zhang Lu, so A Man wasn’t really wrong; Zhang Lu was indeed afraid of her.

If even Sun He would avoid her, much less Zhang Lu?

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan curled her lips into a silent smile.

"Oh dear, what have you been up to?" Passing by Shen Tang’s house, the old lady Shen happened to come out.

Seeing the group covered in mud, she couldn’t help but jump in surprise.

"Old madam!"

Fu Dong and the others hurried forward to greet her.

"Grandmother!"

Shen Qingping and Shen Qing’an excitedly went forward, each grabbing the old lady Shen’s hand, saying, "We went crab hunting."

"Grandma, would you like to keep some?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"No need, your third uncle and your grandfather aren’t here," the old lady Shen waved her hand. "I was just about to find Qing’an and head to your eldest uncle’s place for dinner."

Lately, because of building the shed, everyone has been eating over at Shen He’s place.

Shen Qinglan said, "Then I’ll steam the crabs and bring them to you later."

"Alright, oh my, look at you all covered in mud. Go wash up quickly, being wet like that, you might catch a cold," the old lady Shen laughed.

"I’ll take them back to wash up first," Shen Qinglan looked at Shen Qing’an and said, "Qing’an, after you finish bathing, go to Second Uncle’s house to eat crabs."

Shen Qing’an nodded, "Okay, Sister Qinglan, I’ll go back with Grandma then."

"Hurry on back." The old lady Shen, holding Shen Qing’an, waved her hand at Shen Qinglan and the others.

Back home, Shen Qinglan placed the basket next to the water jar. Xichun came over for a look and was a bit surprised, "How did you catch so many?"

"They caught them," Shen Qinglan said, letting A Man and the others go wash up first. She then grabbed a basin, preparing to wash the crabs.

"Hmm?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, "Where’s that bucket that Fu Dong and the others brought back?"

"Oh, that bucket, the master and the lady took it to the eldest master’s place, saying they wanted to steam it over there."

"Oh, that’s good!" Shen Qinglan nodded, "Those crabs have broken legs; they probably can’t be kept for long, so it’s good to steam them."

Xichun said, "The lady instructed just now that after you come back, go over to the eldest master’s place for the meal."

"I understand!" Shen Qinglan nodded, then turned back to look at Shen Qingping and said, "Go get your clothes, and I’ll fetch some water for you."

"The water’s already heated," Xichun said, "I’ll help the fourth young master fetch water, Miss; you should go wash up too."
