Chapter 244 - 244 240 A Dark and Strong Future Lady Boss
?Chapter 244: Chapter 240 A Dark and Strong Future Lady Boss Chapter 244: Chapter 240 A Dark and Strong Future Lady Boss Ruo Xuan thought Granny’s method was a good one; by pretending to ask for directions, she could strike up a conversation with the other party. Thus, without any shyness, she stepped forward and knocked on the weathered courtyard gate, crisply asking, “Excuse me, is anyone there?”
He Xinghua was in the house cooking sweet potato porridge and spreading out dough for pancakes. Her parents had taken her brother up the mountain to chop wood, and she was soon to deliver lunch to them. Suddenly, she heard the sound of knocking and a child’s voice, prompting her to walk out of the kitchen in surprise.
Ruo Xuan knocked again: “Excuse me, is anyone there?”
This time, He Xinghua was sure she hadn’t misheard, and from over the top of the courtyard wall half a person tall, she saw a strange old woman.
It was daytime, and in the village, she wasn’t afraid of an old person with a child so she walked out and opened the courtyard gate. Then the guardedness in her eyes turned into amazement.
Such a pretty and cute little girl!
Ruo Xuan tilted her little head upward, smiling sweetly: “Sister, can you please tell me which path near this village is the most convenient for climbing the nearby mountain?”
Granny Lei surveyed He Xinghua discreetly, noticing she was quite tall and had a slightly large frame. Her features were delicate, with clear eyes and elegant brows—not very beautiful, especially compared to Madam Jiang and Madam Liu, probably because of her dark skin. But which village girl who worked hard didn’t have dark skin?
Dark skin proved hard work; it would whiten a bit after covering up for a whole winter, and once a bit whiter, she would look much prettier.
Granny Lei then sneakily glanced at her hand resting on the gate; they were hands full of toil, rough-skinned with slightly large knuckles, and many little scars along with some fresh wounds were on her fingers—it was evident that she did a lot of farm work.
