157 Then I Went Blind

Zhao Chuchu frowned and said, “Well, you said she lost her memory, but how does she know her name is Xia Chenglan?”

Xie Heng said, “It seems that when your father saved her, he heard those people calling her that.”

Zhao Chuchu sighed.

Even if she regained her memory, she probably did not want to recall it.

Her father was really kind to her.

When they had a kid together, they naturally began to develop feelings for each other. If it were not for the original owner’s father, she would still not know what would be waiting for her.

Zhao Chuchu looked at Xie Heng and said, “Although I don’t know how the Xia family is, I have a feeling that it is not a good one. Do you know something about the Xia family?”

“You want to know?”

“Of course, now that I have a complicated relationship with the Xia family. Even if I hide from them, the Xia family will not let me go easily. After all, you said, the Xia family is going downhill. The fact that they suddenly have a miracle doctor in their family would bring great benefits.”

After all, people are afraid of death, especially the rich ones.

“The Xia family is not free to look for you now. They won’t tell the Xia family where you are after they return.”

“Why?”

“Madam Xia probably has an unknown resentment toward the Xia family.”

“What does this have to do with knowing the secrets of the Xia family?”

“Chuchu, once people have something on their minds, they devise a plan. Wouldn’t it be better to be happy in Lengshui Village?”

“Why do you sound like the Xia family is going down sooner or later?”

“Almost. In short, you should wait patiently. They will find you sooner or later and tell you the truth.”

“Do you know about it?”

“I don’t.” Xie Heng shook his head.

The declining Xia family was not worth his effort.

But Xie Heng did not want Zhao Chuchu to know that the Xia family was that dirty.

Although she looked ruthless, she was still really kind. Xie Heng feared she would want to get involved when she knew the truth.

He might as well let the Xia family be.

Anyway, it had nothing to do with Zhao Chuchu for the time being.

Zhao Chuchu looked at Xie Heng suspiciously. She felt that Xie Heng was hiding something from her, but she had no evidence.

However, if Xie Heng did not want to tell Zhao Chuchu, she could not force him.

Therefore, she chose to believe him this time and wait to see what would happen to the Xia family.

Anyway, there was still a lot for her to do in Lengshui Village.

The villagers were amazed that the seedlings they had thrown survived.

Especially when they saw that the seedlings were growing faster than those they had worked hard to plant, they couldn’t help staring at Zhao Chuchu’s acres of fields every day.

Zhao Chuchu didn’t have time to mind these things. She even asked Niu Tongsheng to help out initially.

In April, the sweet potato seedlings behind the house were ready to be planted.

Sweet potatoes needed to go through cuttage. She also asked people to plant those sweet potato seedlings on Tripe Mountain.

Almost all of the area of Tripe Mountain had been opened up, and there was just a small part left.

Old Mrs. Chen saw that Zhao Chuchu still had many sweet potato seedlings, so she asked Zhao Chuchu for some of them, as she also wanted to plant some.

“Of course. Just take it. I am almost done with my lands.” Zhao Chuchu generously gave some to Old Mrs. Chen.

When others saw that there were still some sweet potato seedlings left, they immediately went to ask Zhao Chuchu for a few.

However, they did not ask for many as they wanted to plant on just one ridge.

After finishing her tasks, Zhao Chuchu took out her Sorghum seeds and gave them to Niu Tongsheng, who was then asked to provide them to the villagers who were willing to plant them.

However, Zhao Chuchu only gave the seeds to those who had never scolded her or done anything to harm her.

No matter how these people who had harmed Zhao Chuchu begged her, she was unmoved.

Was she going to forgive the people who had wanted to kill her?

That was never going to happen.

She was kind enough not to kill these people.

When Zhao Chuchu saw that Xie Heng wasn’t concentrating on his studies, she gave Xie Heng a book about planting and asked him to study it and teach the people in Lengshui Village.

Xie Heng did not refuse.

On the contrary, he was happy to learn these techniques.

Sooner or later, he could use them.

As a result, Xie Heng, a scholar, got up early and went to the fields to farm with Niu Tongsheng and the others. He gradually became tanned.

But he looked healthier and more handsome.

Zhao Chuchu also found that some girls in the village had been looking at Xie Heng and even dared to send Xie Heng presents.

“Brother Xie Heng, I heard that Chuchu can’t cook. This is a pancake I made. Please have a try.” The girl blushed, stopped Xie Heng when nobody was around, and handed him the basket. “If you like it, I will make it for you tomorrow.”

Zhao Chuchu, who happened to be looking for some common herbs not far away, was speechless.

Xie Heng’s wife was right here!

And she even said something to indicate that Zhao Chuchu was not as good as her.

Xie Heng stepped back and said, “No, thank you. Chuchu is a good cook, and I really like her food. What’s more, I’m married, and you should stay away from me.”

When the girl heard the words, her face turned red, and she felt like crying. “Brother Xie Heng…”

Xie Heng was unmoved. He said firmly, “I have only one brother, Xie Jun. Don’t call me brother or Chuchu will get angry.”

Zhao Chuchu almost laughed.

She was thrilled to see that Xie Heng had rejected the girl.

“Why is Chuchu so overbearing? I would never be like that.”

“So I didn’t marry you.”

The girl did not know what to say now.

“I just like her being overbearing.”

The girl stayed silent.

“Find someone who is willing to be your brother to try your pancake.”

“Brother Xie Heng, you were not like this before.”

“Well, then I went blind.”

Xie Heng nodded seriously.

The girl was so angry that she couldn’t say a word.

“You!”

She stammered for a while and said nothing.

“Zhao Chuchu doesn’t like you at all. She won a reward from the imperial court but asked you to work in the field instead of reading!”

“Oh, that’s because she bought me with sugar.” Xie Heng showed off two pieces of chocolate wrapped in exquisite packaging.

The girl was short of breath and felt like she could not breathe.

Zhao Chuchu almost could not refrain from laughing.

She did not know Xie Heng was so naive.

Had he really been reborn?

“Xie Heng, you don’t have to anger me on purpose. I know it’s because I didn’t want to marry you initially. As long as you divorce Zhao Chuchu now, I can take it as if nothing has happened and marry you.”

Xie Heng was speechless for a second.

He took a few steps back, frowned, and looked at the little girl. “I only want to marry a nice woman, and Chuchu is very nice. So why do you think I will marry a woman who bullies Junjun secretly? I don’t want to come at you for that. Don’t think I like you. I just don’t want to embarrass you in front of people.”

Xie Heng then looked at her with cold eyes and a domineering aura.

The girl could not help but shiver. She instinctively retreated, trembling.

Xie Heng said coldly, “I’m not always so good-tempered. If you run to Chuchu and talk nonsense, you will regret it. Got it?”

The murderous intent in his eyes was beyond this girl’s endurance.

“Okay. Okay!” She was so frightened by Xie Heng.

“Fine. Now get lost and never do this again,” said Xie Heng just before leaving.
