Chapter 189 135246
The four women walked in front, and the three men followed behind.
Aunt Chen nudged He Qiaoyun and asked gossipily, "Which of them do you prefer?"
This question immediately confused He Qiaoyun, so she threw the question back at him: "A man has been waiting for you for more than 30 years, and has never married during these 30 years. Another man is also still devoted to you. If you were in his shoes, what would you choose?"
This question stumped Chen Ma. She realized what he meant, her eyes widened, and she turned to look at Liu Biao. "You mean, he hasn't married or had children because of you?"
He Qiaoyun nodded with some guilt, "Yes, I never expected him to be so good at hiding things."
Like her, Chen's mother was also caught in a dilemma and in pain. "This is really difficult, so difficult. Choosing either option will hurt everyone..."
She added, "No, I have to apologize to you."
He Qiaoyun asked in confusion, "Why?"
Chen's mother was a little embarrassed, but she spoke her mind, "I used to think you were a bad woman who was stringing those two men along, but I didn't expect it to be like this. I should scold you."
He Qiaoyun smiled faintly, "It's alright, you didn't know the situation before."
Chen Ma asked in a low voice, "Did Liu Biao explain it to you clearly?"
He Qiaoyun nodded. "Yes, he confessed to me yesterday."
Chen's mother was even more worried. "It will be even more difficult to explain. If you don't choose him in the end, you probably won't even be able to be friends anymore."
He Qiaoyun couldn't help but sigh, "Yes."
Wang Ma and Tian Tian listened quietly. Tian Tian didn't understand, but Wang Ma understood. She said, "How about this, if we can't choose, we'll take both. Two people living together is the same as three people living together."
These words made both of them laugh. Tian Tian, not understanding why, also laughed along.
He Qiaoyun sighed, “I’ve heard this for the third time. Oh my, are people so open-minded now? My daughter said this to the elders in the village, and it makes me feel embarrassed.”
Chen Ma clapped her hands and said, "Great idea! This way we won't offend either side."
Wang Ma added, "One is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; the other is Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday; Sunday is a rest day."
As they talked, all three of them started laughing.
While they were laughing and joking, the men following behind weren't so happy.
Chen's father walked between Feng Jiashu and Liu Biao. The two men on either side disliked each other, making Chen's father feel awkward and unsure how to start a conversation.
Liu Biao watched as Feng Jiashu took out his phone to take pictures, and as he took the pictures, he criticized him, "I'm not saying this to be mean, but what kind of pictures are these? There's no composition, no angle, and no focus."
He learned these technical terms by watching videos all night, hoping to take photos of He Qiaoyun today, but he had annoyed her earlier and didn't get the chance.
However, using it on a love rival wouldn't be a complete waste of time.
Feng Jiashu put down his phone and said calmly, "Whatever the result is, it's an experience, and it's not worth others pointing fingers at."
Liu Biao chuckled and continued to mock, "You should practice more. You won't admit it. I gave you some pointers and you didn't appreciate it. You're like a dog biting Lü Dongbin."
Despite Feng Jiashu's good temper, he was provoked by these shameless words. He said, "I think I took the photos very well. If you think they are not good, then you don't have an eye for beauty and art."
Liu Biao laughed dismissively, "You're getting impatient and resorting to sophistry."
Seeing that they were about to start arguing, Mr. Chen felt as exhausted as if he were taking care of two children, so he quickly smiled and comforted them, "Oh, we're out here to have fun, there's no need to argue over taking a picture. Peace brings wealth, right?"
Liu Biao argued illogically, "Yes, I was just joking, but he took it seriously."
Feng Jiashu said without much emotion, "I just took a picture casually, and you took it so seriously."
Liu Biao clicked his tongue. "I was trying to give you some helpful advice, but you not only don't appreciate it, you also insulted me for lacking artistry. I've never seen anyone like you before."
Feng Jiashu glanced at him indifferently, "Is this your guidance? You clearly just don't like me."
Liu Biao got anxious. "Hey, what do you mean? What do I dislike about you? Old Chen, tell me, did I mean that just now?"
Under their gazes, Mr. Chen forced a smile, not wanting to offend either side, so he remained silent, only smiling.
Liu Biao urged, "Don't just laugh, say something."
Mr. Chen chuckled and racked his brains to change the subject, “They walked so fast, they’ve disappeared from sight. Let’s hurry and catch up with them.”
Feng Jiashu smiled faintly, "Yes, let's go quickly."
After saying that, he quickened his pace, and Chen's father also quickened his pace, leaving Liu Biao behind. Liu Biao hurriedly chased after him.
The two groups of people chatted, laughed, and joked as they went up the mountain.
Once they reached the mountain, He Qiaoyun and the other three sat in the pavilion and took beautiful photos. The three men took out their phones and half-squatted down to take pictures of them.
After taking photos of the four of them, the seven of them took a group photo, which marked the end of their visit to the first attraction.
They then went down the mountain and found a famous little restaurant.
When we arrived at the restaurant and ordered, Xu Hemei arrived.
Liu Biao shook his head and joked, "You didn't visit a single tourist attraction, and you didn't miss a single meal. You're something else."
Xu Hemei smiled and said, "People need food to survive."
Aunt Chen echoed, "Yes, they need to eat. By the way, how's the kitten?"
Xu Hemei said, "The kitten is quite healthy. It's being dewormed at the vet, so we'll leave it there for now."
Chen's mother couldn't help but ask, "I've heard that pet hospitals are quite expensive. Will the check-up cost money?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen tugged at Mrs. Chen's sleeve.
Xu Hemei said, "It's alright, it doesn't cost much. It's just this one checkup. We won't have any worries if the checkup is fine."
Aunt Chen smiled and said, "Yes, yes, that's good."
Before long, the dishes were served. Chili peppers are a local specialty, and most of the dishes were spicy, making them gasp for breath from the heat.
Liu Biao somehow learned that milk could relieve spiciness, so he excused himself to go to the toilet, bought two bottles of milk, tied straws to them, and handed them to He Qiaoyun, saying, "Take a couple of sips, and it won't be spicy anymore."
He Qiaoyun was so spicy that she didn't care whether it was really effective or not. She picked up the milk, took two sips, and it did provide some relief.
She was somewhat surprised. "How did you know? That's amazing."
Liu Biao said, "I saw it while watching videos."
Everyone at the table looked at them, their faces full of confusion.
He Qiaoyun said, "Drinking milk can relieve the spiciness."
Mrs. Chen was surprised, "Really? I've never even heard of it."
Looking up, she saw Feng Jiashu also returning with a bag of milk. "Mr. Feng also went to buy milk."
Feng Jiashu looked at the milk in He Qiaoyun's hand and felt a little disappointed. He forced a smile and said, "Yeah, I saw you guys were so spicy, so I went and bought a few boxes. Let's share them."
They thanked them and then distributed the milk.
One box for each person, two boxes left over.
He Qiaoyun saw through Feng Jiashu's disappointment, reached out, and took a box.
Feng Jiashu smiled when he saw her take the milk he had bought.
