Chapter 57 - 057 Accident
Tian Sisi chuckled and put the scissors back into the basket, wiped off the grass juice on her hands with a handkerchief, then took out a few fruit candies from her pocket and stuffed one into the mouths of each of the four including Zhong Meiying, "Then I won’t be polite, this is your labor fee, you’d better share more with me later!"
"No problem, we guarantee to give you more." Zhong Anmei said very frankly with the candy in her mouth.
Tian Sisi was indeed not keen on picking more Qingming grass anymore. It was truly bothersome to prepare everything herself when good things are ready-made. She could use this as an excuse to give them a few more Qingming Cakes later on. She didn’t mind helping out friends with whom she clicked personality-wise.
Zhong Yuying, squatting in a distant place, saw Tian Sisi and Zhong Meiying, along with Zhong Anmei, getting along harmoniously, laughing and joking, and envy appeared in her eyes. In the past, she was the one who enjoyed these privileges—the food from Tian Sisi, and even the new head flowers she wore. But now, all of that was gone. At home, without Tian Sisi’s care, her status had plummeted, and she had more and more chores to do. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn’t accept it. Zhong Yuying watched Tian Sisi with a hidden and resentful gaze.
Tian Sisi was completely unaware of these sentiments. She wanted to go to another hillside to gather peach blossoms so that she could brew peach blossom wine next time. Last time, she saw that there were many wild peach trees in that valley, and the huge swath of pink peach blossoms seemed like a fairyland.
Zhong Yuying saw Tian Sisi was alone and cautiously moved her body step by step, slowly reaching the entrance of the hillside. Zhong Yuying stood up, took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and descended the hillside. Tian Sisi was collecting peach blossoms under a peach tree with a cloth bag. Of course, most of the peach blossoms had been put into her Space; those outside were just a cover.
"Sisi, are you picking peach blossoms? Let me do it for you." It turns out that Zhong Yuying hadn’t given up. In Yuequan Village, finding someone like Tian Sisi who wasn’t stingy and was easy to deceive was extremely difficult, so she had to focus on Tian Sisi again.
Tian Sisi furrowed her brows. Why couldn’t Zhong Yuying leave her alone? She turned around and said coldly, "No need, I can pick them myself. Zhong Yuying, can’t you understand what people say? I’ve already said I don’t want to be friends with you, so why do you keep bothering me?"
