Chapter 379: Chapter 382: Impossible Person_1
Qiao Duo’er suddenly remembered Bai Yifan. There had been no news of him since he left Big Willow Village that day, and she wondered how he was doing.
"Do you know about Bai Yifan’s poisoning last time?"
Chen Yiling nodded, "I know, he nearly lost his life, but thankfully you controlled the poison in time. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t have lasted until Liu Erhuai got back. Although the poison was cured, his body was still weakened. He needs a good period of rest and care."
There were some things she wanted to say but wasn’t sure if she should.
Seeing Chen Yiling stop mid-sentence, Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help asking, "Is his condition not very good?"
"Duo’er, there are some things you’d only worry about in vain if you knew. It’s better not to know," Chen Yiling lightly skirted past the matter.
Bai Yifan was fond of Qiao Duo’er, but she was about to get married. They were destined to have no future together.
Alas, it’s a pity not to meet the right person at the right time.
Qiao Duo’er had a clear understanding and immediately grasped Chen Yiling’s meaning. Bai Yifan might be good, but he wasn’t her destined match.
In this lifetime, having Tan Zhenghong was enough for her. If there was a next life, she hoped it would still be Tan Zhenghong.
There was no point dwelling on the impossible, so they quickly changed the subject.
Aunt Huang wiped the sweat from her forehead, relieved to see the two enjoying themselves so much.
And... she had to admit that she was getting old.
Soon their baskets were full, and Chen Yiling felt a sense of accomplishment.
Seeing her sweating profusely, Qiao Duo’er took her back to rest, just in time for lunch.
Chen Yiling fanned herself with a large palm-leaf fan while watching Qiao Duo’er cook.
Qiao Duo’er made several homestyle dishes: stir-fried string beans with pork, minced pork with vermicelli, sauerkraut fish, spicy chopped fish head, mushroom chicken soup, along with stir-fried vegetables and loofah. A mix of meat and vegetables, the quantity was also sufficient.
Aunt Huang helped out by her side. Thankfully Qiao Duo’er was there; otherwise, she wouldn’t know what to do.
"Madam... Yi Ling, it’s hot in the kitchen. Why don’t you go out and take a break?"
Chen Yiling shook her head, "No need, I just want to see how Duo’er cooks. I’ll learn."
Actually, she just wanted to watch the fun.
After spending the morning together, Aunt Huang had gotten used to Chen Yiling’s way of doing things, so she let her stay in the kitchen.
At lunch, Aunt Huang also called Daniu and Yang Ruoruo to join them. They were close to Qiao Duo’er and of similar age; there was sure to be plenty of conversation when they were together.
Aunt Huang made a wise decision. The girls chatted and laughed, enjoying their meal immensely.
In the afternoon, Daniu and Yang Ruoruo took Chen Yiling to dig peanuts.
When they came back, they enjoyed the rock sugar pear drink made by Qiao Duo’er, which sweetened their hearts.
And looking at Chen Yiling, she was resplendent with jewels when she arrived in the morning, glowing with beauty. However, now she was covered in dust, but the smile on her face was even brighter.
As long as she had fun, that was enough.
Aunt Huang bought a new bath barrel for Chen Yiling to bathe and change clothes.
Her figure was similar to Yang Ruoruo’s, so she changed into her clothes.
By the time Chen Yiling got herself tidied up, Qin Longyun had already come to pick her up personally.
"I’m sorry for the trouble Yi Ling has caused you," Qin Longyun said apologetically.
He could tell from his nose that Yi Ling had played very hard today; otherwise, there would be no need to change her clothes.
Uncle Huang quickly replied, "You’re too polite, young master. Madam is very likable. If you don’t mind, please come visit us more often."
Qin Longyun nodded, chatted with everyone for a while, and then took his leave.
