Chapter 237: Chapter 238: Mountain Picnic

“Little sister, you go ahead to the mountain; Qiuye and I will go home to drop off some stuff before we join you,” Xu Shengcai called out, then took Qiuye back home.

“Mom, Qiuye is here.”

Mrs. Xu was in the yard cracking sunflower seeds. Upon hearing her son’s words, she immediately stood up. Delighted at the sight of Qiuye, she exclaimed, “Qiuye, why are you here? You shouldn’t have brought gifts.

Come sit and rest; I’ll get you some fruit to eat.”

Mrs. Xu quite liked Xu Qiuye. The girl had grown up in their village and played well with her son, often visiting their home since she was little. She had watched Qiuye grow up.

The girl had always been a good student, beautiful, competent, and filial; she was considered one of the best in their village. Mrs. Xu had never imagined that one day her son would have the luck of winning her over.

“Mom, we’re not going to eat; we have to go up the mountain to find my little sister,” Xu Shengcai said, pulling Xu Qiuye along, ready to dash off.

Mrs. Xu, looking at her son with a hint of disdain, reminded him, “Okay, take good care of Qiuye on the mountain.”

“Mom, I know,” Xu Shengcai said, rushing off to the mountain with Xu Qiuye.

Who would have thought they’d bump into Huo Chen and Wu Qingsong halfway there? Seeing the two men, Xu Shengcai was reminded of the matter he was unhappy about: this kid was going to become his future brother-in-law.

It was infuriating. He would’ve punched anyone else, but this guy was a well-known tough cookie; Xu Shengcai didn’t dare to provoke him.

Yet watching Huo Chen easily win over his little sister made him fume inside. He looked at Huo Chen with a disgruntled face, “You’re coming with me to hunt in the mountain.”

Huo Chen was taken aback, puzzled for a moment.

“I’m talking to you; hurry up.”

Wu Qingsong, seeing Xu Shengcai talking to his Brother Chen in such a manner, instantly lost his temper, “What’s your problem? Calling Brother Chen out to hunt and you look like this, do we owe you money?”

Huo Chen held Wu Qingsong back and whispered, “Yingying’s second brother.”

Wu Qingsong’s raised fist immediately dropped as his face changed, “Heh, just kidding. I’ll go right now.”

Xu Shengcai was originally ready to fight Wu Qingsong, but the sudden change of attitude left him confused.

However, with Huo Chen present, they would definitely have a good feast today.

When the four of them reached the mountain, Yingying and Third Brother Xu had already caught a wild rabbit, along with some duck eggs Yingying had stealthily brought from her space.

The winter weather was cold, and the river had frozen over. Luckily, the day wasn’t too chilly and the midday sun was out, so the ice wasn’t too thick.

Third Brother Xu wielded a large iron spade, striking the icy river vigorously.

Before long, he had chipped several holes in the ice.

“Gu Fuying!” Wu Qingsong looked up and was surprised to see her, his face lighting up with joy.

Seeing Gu Fuying didn’t make Wu Qingsong happy at all; he was full of disdain, “What are you doing here?”

He and this girl were like enemies on a narrow road; Gu Fuying was always making a fuss, and the sight of her gave Wu Qingsong a headache.

Looking up and seeing Huo Chen, Yingying was delighted, “You’re here too? Third Brother, let Huo Chen do it. He’s strong.”

Yingying quickly led Huo Chen to the icy surface.

Seeing Huo Chen, Third Brother Xu’s face filled with woes, finding him quite the nuisance.

Huo Chen acted as if he didn’t see the gripe, took a glance at the tools nearby, and picked up a kitchen knife to strike the same spot Third Brother Xu had been working on.

With a loud “crack,” the ice surface instantly split open with several fissures. As the cracks widened, with a “plop,” the ice shattered and fell into the water.

Gu Fuying and the others were instantly dumbfounded. This guy was incredibly strong.

Third Brother Xu’s mouth twitched, realizing that he had been busily working for nothing.

“There’s a fish.” Gu Fuzhu saw a fish jump and her eyes were filled with surprise.

She was not often in the countryside, let alone such a dangerous place, and now she watched with curiosity at everything on the mountain.

At the sound of Gu Fuzhu’s voice, Third Brother Xu’s hand shot out swiftly and he caught the fish in his hands, the fish flapping its tail and splashing water around.

“This fish is a bit small, we’ll grill it to eat.”

“I’ve got a fishing net here, could I catch any?” Xu Ying leaned forward, looking eagerly.

Huo Chen took the net and threw it into the hole, and in no time, he could definitely feel the tug on the net.

“Did we catch some fish?” Gu Fuzhu asked with a curious face.

Huo Chen yanked hard, and the net was pulled onto the shore, full of fish.

Xu Ying’s face lit up with delight, “There are big fish too. Let’s cook them into soup. We can throw back the small ones and come back again next year.”

Gu Fuzhu’s face was full of joy. “Alright, next year, Fuying and I will come looking for you again.”

Having said that, Gu Fuzhu turned to look for her cousin and saw the girl staring blankly at a man.

She tugged at Xu Ying, “Does Fuying like him?”

Xu Ying followed her gaze and saw her second brother and Sister Qiu Ye being affectionate, Wu Qingsong busy building a stove, and Gu Fuying staring dumbly at them.

Sigh, love was always the trickiest affair.

“What do you think?” Xu Ying asked in return.

Gu Fuzhu nodded emphatically, “I think so.”

“Then you’re right, the peach blossoms haven’t even bloomed yet!” Why was everyone getting spring fever?

“Third Brother, while you fish here, I’ll go find Sister Qiu Ye.” After speaking, Xu Ying stood up and ran towards Gu Fuying.

Gu Fuzhu found fishing interesting and squatted down to watch curiously.

Xu the Third glanced at her, knowing this girl must be a child from a wealthy family, inexperienced in such matters. He smiled slightly at Gu Fuzhu and beckoned, “Do you want to give it a try?”

Gu Fuzhu looked up and saw the man’s mouth curved in a smile, his eyes twinkling with a warm glow, like a ray of sunshine bringing a touch of warmth.

A blush crept onto her face, and she approached Xu the Third’s side, “How do you do this?”

Xu the Third was quite patient, meticulously explaining to Gu Fuzhu about netting and picking fish.

Gu Fuzhu watched with sparkling eyes.

Huo Chen observed the two getting along and discreetly excused himself. To win over his brother-in-law, he had to keep them busy, so they wouldn’t have time to pay attention to him and Xu Ying.

Elsewhere, Wu Qingsong had managed to set up the cooking stove. He turned around and met Gu Fuying’s gaze directly. A flicker of panic crossed his eyes, and he touched his face in confusion, “Why are you looking at me? Is there something dirty on my face?”

Gu Fuying felt annoyed, “No, it’s because you look handsome.”

Wu Qingsong was taken aback for a moment, then he beamed with pride, touched his handsome face, and his bright smile revealed his big front teeth, “Of course, I might be a bit less attractive than Brother Chen, but much more so than the rest.

You’ve got good taste. I’ll grill an extra fish for you later.”

Gu Fuying was both angry and annoyed. She had never seen such a thick-skinned person; she thought he would be heartbroken over a failed romance, but she had overthought it—this guy was utterly heartless.

“Hey, why are you angry now?” Seeing her walk away, Wu Qingsong immediately got up.
