Chapter 78 Nameless Dining Hall (28)
“Xu, what are you looking at? Hurry up and go home. “Why don’t you help big sister carry these things. You should carry these materials in …” Li Yannian heartlessly patted him, and then pointed to the pile of cloth and sweets by the side of the door.
Zhao Xu didn’t know how to react to her worry, but for some reason, his heart suddenly hurt.
In the sect, soft knives were the most effective way to force a person to seek death with just a few words. What did the Madam Gu say just now?
“Such an intelligent young lady. I wonder which family has the fortune to be able to live a happy life with a child like you.”
Hehe, listening it was praises, but listening it carefully, it was a warning to Li Yannian, not to wishfully marry into the high school. Wealthy families couldn’t marry into concubines, and the Gu family’s days weren’t the “small days” of poor families. If it was a young lady who was a little thin-skinned, she would feel extremely inferior even if she didn’t die of shame after hearing Madam Gu’s words.
Li Yannian clearly understood it, but how did she answer? She was still smiling, as if she didn’t care about anything at all. Whether she was insulting or scolding, she knew all about it. However, as if nothing had happened, the soft knife that pierced the heart went in the left ear and out the right ear. It was neither sad nor angry, nor humble nor arrogant.
In Zhao Xu’s opinion, Li Yannian had lived up to the point of perfection at such a young age, and she always had a very different feeling of maturity. To have this kind of mentality while stuck in the mud, she was much more pure than that Gu family kid. If the two of them really wanted to say who wasn’t worthy, then that would be because that kid from the Gu family wasn’t good enough for the Li family for a young girl. She had a few pieces of smelly money in her hands, and the stench of copper had yet to be washed away. She really thought of herself as someone of high class. At the end of the day, she was just a lowly servant who would run errands for the royal family.
He took another look in the Gu family’s direction, and only after hearing the sound of Li Yannian urging him to take something in, did Zhao Xu regain his senses.
Within the house, Mao Dou was pestering Li Yannian to open the box to look at the presents that the Gu family had sent, “Sis, quickly open it and see what’s inside.”
Zhao Xu did not like the Gu family, and even the few boxes in front of him were a little unsightly. Since he was a fool now, he pretended to trip over the boxes in front of the brother and sister and kicked them to the ground.
“Aiyo, Xuanzi, why are you so careless? Quick, check if your fall hurts or not.”
Li Yannian’s attention was immediately diverted away, she supported the person and sat down, and was about to pull up Zhao Xu’s trousers.
Mao Dou looked at the ground, then turned his head to report to Li Yannian. “Sis, so it’s just some eggs and rice, with Brother Xu’s nudge, the eggs are pretty much broken and the rice is dirty.”
Li Yannian laughed. The Gu family had given him such a heavy gift, they had probably thought that the villagers did not know much about it. She did not think much of it, and after inspecting Zhao Xu’s legs, she turned and said to Mao Dou: “If a few eggs are broken, then it’s fine. You go and get a dustpan, and bring some soil to wrap the egg yolk.” She did not think much of it, and checked on Zhao Xu’s legs and legs, and then turned and said to Mao Dou: “If a few eggs are broken, then it’s fine.
Mao Dou replied and left. If it was before, he would have died from heartache when he saw the egg being smashed like this.
Li Yannian saw that Zhao Xu’s face was slightly ugly, and thought that Zhao Xu was scared, he patted his head and comforted him: “It’s fine, it’s just a few eggs, don’t be afraid, ah. I’ll go and put the materials away. Just sit still. ”
Zhao Xu was stumbling while holding onto the two pieces of fabric tightly. Even though he still had a frightened look on his face, he did not relax his grip at all.
Li Yannian dug out the fabric that Mao Dou was carrying and when she saw that Mao Dou had also come out of the room, she instructed him so that Mao Dou could look after Zhao Xu. Only then did Li Yannian feel at ease to carry the fabric up the stairs.
After she put everything into the system warehouse and went downstairs, there were a few more people in the living room. One of them was Black Bean who had just returned home. He was looking at his first aunt and third aunt, who had followed him into the room with a dark expression. The latter was currently greedily staring at the scattered white rice on the ground.
Li Yannian’s gaze met Black Bean’s, only to see him silently shaking her head at him, her expression extremely helpless, and even a little guilty. Li Yannian could understand, as a man, it would not be good for him to drag things out with the female elders in the house. They must have gotten used to Black Bean’s thin-skinned weakness, which was why they took the opportunity to break in.
“Aiyo, my niece came downstairs. I heard that you saved the girls from the big families in town, and today she came to give you a gift of thanks?”
Third Aunt Xu Cui Er’s eyes rolled around, seeing that all the children in the room were staring at her with widened eyes, she decided to pick on Li Yannian, this little girl who looked at her in a soft manner, to start a conversation.
So they were here to thank him. Li Yannian immediately understood the purpose of their visit. It was probably because the Gu Family had a huge crowd in the afternoon that alarmed Li Jun Shan and Li Qingshan.
She smiled and replied, “That’s right, aunt, aunt. You really know the news very well. The carriage just left not long ago, yet you already know about it so quickly.”
Li Yannian’s words did not carry much meaning, but for some reason, Xu Cui Er’s face clearly changed. She coughed awkwardly, and then recovered to normal in the blink of an eye, with a fake smile, she said: “Didn’t I say that I didn’t know that you had rescued people back home? Today, after seeing a large family’s carriage enter the village, they finally realized what had happened. Your Eldest Aunt and I, after thinking about it for a while, are afraid that you kids might not know how valuable your favors are, so when we see you next time, we don’t understand. Only then did she come over and give all of you a slap on the face. What did they send? Red Bean, quickly take it out and let Aunt take a look for you. ”
Hehe. Li Yannian laughed coldly in his heart, what did she mean by looking at the value of their favors? Actually, it was because she heard that a noble had gifted them something, causing his heart to become greedy, hence she wanted a share.
Black Bean frowned, he had obviously understood the reason for the two elders’ visit, and looked at Li Yannian impatiently.
Seeing that he almost went mad from anger, Li Yannian immediately opened his mouth and said: “Aunt, you’re really kind, even if you guys came at the wrong time, it’s all because of Mao Dou’s stupidity, and he even knocked over the eggs and thin rice that the Gu Family sent. Hey, isn’t he still on the ground?
Sister Wang Xiu had long felt that the things that were flipped over on the ground was the favor of the Li Family. Hearing Li Yannian admitting it herself, she felt pained and angry, extended her hand and grabbed the broom in Mao Dou’s hands, preparing to hit him.
“I already said that you kids are unreliable, let your mother come over and help you guys pack your things. In the end, you guys came too late, Mao Dou, you dead child, did your hands and feet get broken? I can’t even hold onto a thing, and it’s all spilled onto the ground. It’s such a waste, ah, in my opinion, it wouldn’t make sense if I, as the Eldest Aunt, didn’t beat you up on your parents’ behalf! ”
Mao Dou was scared stiff. His eyes immediately turned red, and he looked like he was about to cry. When it landed in Li Yannian’s eyes, it instantly stirred up 30% of his heart and 70% of his anger.
Before she could jump over, she heard Black Bean yell loudly, “Stop, this is my house, it’s not the time for others to hit my little brother!”
Before he finished speaking, he had already snatched the broom in Sister Wang Xiu’s hand. When he raised his leg, the broom that was still fine a moment ago was instantly broken into two pieces.
Earlier, Black Bean had always been quiet, causing Sister Wang Xiu and Xu Cui Er to have the illusion that this family was still as easy to deal with as before. As a result, ever since they entered the room, they had not treated Black Bean as a major threat. This time, he suddenly made a move and broke a broom with his bare hand. His fiendish look almost scared the two of them.
At this time, Li Yannian also went up to pull Mao Dou over, and conveniently shoved him next to Zhao Xu while coldly laughing: “Eldest Aunt, when my parents died, I didn’t see you take care of the three of us. We are already so used to having no one else in our family taking responsibility for us, so we don’t have to work hard for you to teach my brother a lesson. We will take care of our own matters. It’s just a few eggs. Since the Gu family gave them to us, we might as well smash them if we were to accidentally smash them, since they are here to repay the gratitude. If they were to serve a few eggs, then it would be difficult for them to punish my younger brother in front of his elders.
Li Yannian’s words could already be considered to be extremely restraining in her anger, it was extremely tactful and polite. If not for her concern for Black Bean’s and Mao Dou’s reputation, she would have liked to poke Sister Wang Xiu’s nose and scold her. What the hell was she? Not only did she fail at the painting, she even wanted to hit the beans!
Sister Wang Xiu was still angry, but Xu Cui Er by his side anxiously pulled on her sleeves and gave a look to the people around her, causing Sister Wang Xiu to purge her lips and not say a word.
Xu Cui Er tried to smooth things over, and laughed awkwardly: Why are you talking to your Eldest Aunt, Red Bean! And Black Bean, as the older brother, with such a violent temper, didn’t you teach your younger brother and sister evil? Your Eldest Aunt is also kind, if you think about it carefully, what she said was wrong? “If it weren’t for the fact that we were worried that you guys would see the Gu family members together again, we wouldn’t have bothered to look at you guys. What a benevolent person!”
She laughed dryly as she finished speaking, but and Black Bean did not pay attention to her. He then looked at Mao Dou, only to see that the latter’s eyes were on hers, and she had shrunk behind the other child.
Xu Cui’e was used to having people with thick skin, so no one paid attention to her. She rolled her eyes a few times, then came up with an idea.
“Black Bean, you are serious. Why do you have to vent your anger when talking? If a good broom was broken like this, would the rice on the ground still be swept away? “Sister-in-law, come here, hurry up and give me a hand. I’ll help a few kids clean up the rice on the ground first.”
Sister Wang Xiu understood what she meant and turned her face around. As she squatted down to help her pack the rice, he actually did not use the Li Family’s dustpan filled with rice. Instead, she lifted up his skirt and used it as a container. Xu Cui’e also felt that something was wrong, and laughed as she picked up the rice that was mixed with mud and poured it into Sister Wang Xiu’s skirt.
The instant Sister Wang Xiu lifted up her skirt, Black Bean turned his head away. Just as Li Yannian was about to say something, she saw Xu Cui Er spitting two mouthful of saliva into her palm before grabbing the rice on the ground.
Li Yannian:…
The two of them had successfully refreshed Li Yannian’s understanding of the word “shameless”. To be able to display her shamelessness to such an extent, she was truly convinced. This little bit of rice, give it to them to eat, I hope they will not have diarrhea later.
Zhao Xu’s face did not reveal any expression, he just watched the Li Family’s farce indifferently. His gaze fell upon Li Yannian, who had been standing straight up ever since the two shreds entered the door, and had a battle attitude at all times. In his heart, he felt admiration and respect for her unexplainable feelings.
Women should never be synonymous with weakness and protection.
If his aunt had the resolution and courage of the Li family’s young girl, then perhaps they would be greatly different today …
