Chapter 614: Guilty

“Not to mention you’ve forgotten, it’s hard for normal people to remember.”

In those days, every household had a vegetable garden. Even the workers in the village had small plots along the roadside, cultivating a piece of land amidst the bushes.

Generally, there was little need to buy vegetables, making it hard to sell them. Villagers rarely sold vegetables. They focused more on agricultural and sideline products.

“Have Second Aunt’s vegetables sold out?” Su Wen pinched another piece of pig’s ear, sneaking a bite. Just as she did, she met Zhou Hengyang’s teasing gaze in the courtyard. Seeing his playful expression, she guiltily turned away, pretending not to notice.

Sigh! She was useless.

Look at him, he was so casual. She had anticipated feeling proud and elated after being with the male lead, but instead, he seemed happier and far from smug.

She couldn’t show off; instead, she looked guilty.

Meanwhile, someone appeared calm and composed, more relaxed and attractive. If observed closely, he seemed more handsome than ever.

Su Wen was becoming jealous.

Yet, as she envied others, she didn’t notice her reflection. She was radiant, with tender skin and watery eyes. Her almond -shaped eyes were more charming.

If Su Wen’s appearance was once rated nine out of ten, it was twelve now. She exuded a womanly charm that could captivate any man.

“It’s all sold out. When we came back, everything was gone,” Su Xiu said, her tone envious. Second Aunt had stolen many vegetables from the garden last night, estimating they could sell for at least three dollars.

What could three dollars buy?

Su Wen frowned, pondering. “I don’t think this is a good thing. Second Aunt is clever, she might continue stealing.” “What?”

“You think she’ll steal again?

“Think about it, stealing vegetables for an hour or two at night can earn three dollars. She’ll continue stealing,” Su Wen accurately predicted Zhang Chunxiang’s behaviour.

“What should we do?” Su Xiu asked anxiously.

“Let me think.”

Zhou Hengyang, preparing to wash clothes in the yard, overheard their conversation. He chimed in, “Don’t worry about it. As long as she doesn’t steal our vegetables, it’s fine.”

“Even it she steals again, there are no more vegetables left tor her to take,” Su Wen replied. She stepped out of the kitchen, glancing at the person scrubbing clothes on the washboard. She smirked meaningfully. “Why are you so ruthless? Are we just going to let her steal our vegetables?”

“You’re only realizing I’m ruthless now?” Zhou Hengyang gave her a wicked smile. “I’ll show you just how ruthless I can be tonight.”

Su Wen blushed. She had lost the first round decisively.

She couldn’t compete with him; she couldn’t. She realized now she was no match for someone thick-skinned and scheming. While she thought of ways to stop Zhang Chunxiang from stealing vegetables, he merely observed from the sidelines.

“Anyway, don’t worry about it. No one cared when you were bullied back then,” Zhou Hengyang said, his tone indifferent and self-loathing, recalling his past indifference when Wenwen struggled in the village.

“Fine! I’ll ask Su Qing to thank the families that helped catch the thief last night.” They owe them their gratitude..
