Chapter 154 Too Many Thoughts

Sun Jingyi wanted to ask more, but seeing that the two of them didn't seem to want to say much, she glanced at Gu Yunyi and wisely stopped asking.

However, when Jiang Mingyu was mentioned, she had a lot to say.

"He's always out all day long, I don't know where he goes. He says he's going to meet friends, but he leaves very early in the morning. It's been like this for the past few days. I don't see him studying at home. He leaves me at home every day, leaving me to face such a mess. It's really a headache."

To be honest, she wasn't very familiar with Xu Qingmeng, but relatively speaking, Xu Qingmeng was probably the person she was most familiar with besides Jiang Mingyu.

I was really driven crazy by staying at home, so I had no choice but to come here to vent.

The courtyard was full of women, so Gu Yunyi didn't want to linger and went back inside. Before leaving, he whispered in Xu Qingmeng's ear, "Just listen to it."

Xu Qingmeng glanced at him and gestured to him, indicating that she understood.

"There have been many students in the city these past few days, probably going out to discuss their studies. Yunyi has also occasionally gone out to meet friends."

"I know he won't go out and fool around, but it's just that I'm left alone every day with that young wife, and it's really stifling."

Sun Jingyi followed Xu Qingmeng into the courtyard, and then began to recount everything that had happened in the past two days, like pouring out beans.

Hui Niang was sitting in the courtyard washing clothes at this moment. She coughed a few times to indicate that she was still there.

Sun Jingyi merely glanced up at her, gave her a perfunctory greeting, and then went back to complaining to Xu Qingmeng.

Seeing that Sun Jingyi didn't try to hide anything, Hui Niang listened attentively without any qualms. Little did she know, she would hear a lot of upsetting things.

What? That young wife didn't shy away from anything, dressed lightly in the middle of the night, enjoying the cool air in the yard. Jiang Mingyu came out to use the toilet in the middle of the night and gave her that.

She also said that the couple were dishonest, and she didn't dare to leave any food in the kitchen.

The young wife even secretly used the bowls they bought, which disgusted her greatly.

Sun Jingyi was not exactly a pushover; she was considered quite feisty in the village. But that young wife was even more formidable and unreasonable than her.

Sun Jingyi was still a bit too thin-skinned, unlike that young wife who was willing to go all out.

In just two short days, Sun Jingyi had already cried several times. Jiang Mingyu, being a man and a scholar, was even more likely to lose the argument.

Xu Qingmeng saw that her eyes were red as she spoke, and subconsciously said, "If it doesn't work, let's find another place to stay. It's still early, and many students haven't arrived yet, so we should be able to find a place to stay."

Sun Jingyi immediately asked, "We've only stayed in this courtyard for a few days, can we get a refund?"

Xu Qingmeng shook her head and said, "We should ask the landlord about that. Besides, the most important thing right now is Young Master Jiang's college entrance exam. Even if we have to suffer some losses, it's worth it if we can get some peace and quiet in return."

Sun Jingyi lowered her head and muttered softly, "It's not your family's money, yet you make it sound so easy."

Xu Qingmeng didn't hear it, but Huiniang heard it clearly.

Xu Qingmeng genuinely thought so. Since it had already affected her mood, she naturally wanted to change her environment as soon as possible. Jiang Mingyu and the others were here for scientific research, and it wouldn't be worth wasting their time on this.

Xu Qingmeng was about to say something when she heard Huiniang cough twice.

Xu Qing dreamt that Hui Niang shook her head at her, then looked at Sun Jingyi in front of her. Clearly, she was unwilling, so she didn't say anything more.

The men all knew that Sun Jingyi had come alone, so they all kept a slight distance. Gu Yunyi went into the house and didn't come out, and Zhou Yuanjia and Fang Ziheng didn't come out of the yard either.

Meanwhile, Sun Jingyi poured out her grievances for a long time. At first, Xu Qingmeng would say a few words, but later she could only nod and agree from time to time. Since she did not achieve her desired goal, she lost the desire to continue.

He turned around and saw that Hui Niang was still washing clothes. He said that his own clothes had not been washed yet, so he got up and said goodbye.

Xu Qingmeng was somewhat confused, as it hadn't even been half an hour in total.

Is Sun Jingyi really just here to complain?
Hui Niang couldn't help but laugh when she saw Xu Qingmeng's bewildered expression.

"You, I thought you were so clever, how come you can't see this clearly? And you probably didn't hear what she was muttering."

"Ah, you heard that, and you even figured out why she came today?" Xu Qingmeng looked at Huiniang with a puzzled expression.

"Hmm." Hui Niang stopped washing clothes, wiped the water off her hands, looked up, and analyzed with her: "You, as soon as she came in, she started talking about her family's trivial matters to make you feel sorry for her. Then she mentioned terminating the lease, and then she muttered to herself that it wasn't your family's money, and you don't know how to feel about it."

"I think she's really after Young Master Huang's courtyard." Hui Niang knew that this courtyard was found by Young Master Huang, and that Young Master Huang also had his own courtyard next door, which he lived in alone now.

Hearing this, it's clear why Sun Jingyi came to visit today.

"Huh?" Xu Qingmeng frowned.

"Her husband isn't very familiar with Young Master Huang, so he couldn't bring himself to ask. That's why he came to you to sound him out," Hui Niang said with a smile.

Xu Qingmeng said, "Why are you trying to find out what they want from me? I can't agree on their behalf."

"She's thinking that you're quite familiar with Young Master Huang, so if you ask him to, he won't be able to refuse. They'll be staying in the courtyard for free, and maybe the owner will even refund them because of Young Master Huang!"

Xu Qingmeng listened, stunned, then rubbed her head: "There really are all kinds of people here? It's better to do it yourself. After all, we're from the same place. If you talk to them nicely, Young Master Huang might help you."

"People just overthink things. They try to guess what others are thinking with their own thoughts, and they're afraid that others won't be willing to help." Hui Niang had seen this many times, so she wasn't surprised. Then she smiled and said, "Luckily you didn't understand. If you had been taken advantage of, you would have had a real headache."

Xu Qingmeng shook her head and said, "Even if I understand, I will pretend I don't know. I never meddle in other people's business. Yun Yi reminded me before he came in that I should just listen."

Upon hearing this, Hui Niang smiled and said, "That's good. You don't know, I once met someone who was trying to help her out of kindness, but in the end, I didn't get a thank you and instead got into a lot of trouble. That made me afraid to be kind anymore."

"The old saying, 'Don't meddle in other people's business,' is true."

"OK!"
