Chapter 64: Work hard to earn money to support your mother's child

The aunties and grandmas in the room exchanged glances with each other.

"Sister Ji, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, sit down and talk it out. It's not a big deal for children to quarrel. Don't hurt the harmony between neighbors."

Ji's mother stood up suddenly and almost threw the scallion in her hand at Ji Qin's face, glaring at her.

"What are you shouting for? He's already half buried in the ground. Stop accusing me. Our An An is so well behaved!"

The scallion brushed against Ji Qinshi's face, and she became even angrier, cursing and yelling.

The house was small and could not accommodate three tables. Ji Changyu and Lian Guangjun were setting up tables and chairs in the yard. When they heard the noise in the house, they wiped the sweat from their faces and rushed in.

He glanced at Xu Yao and Ji's mother calmly, his dark eyes sank slightly, and asked in a deep voice.

"What happened?"

Ji Qin pushed Ji Chen forward and said, "Your good son beat my eldest grandson. Look how sad the child is crying!"

Ji Changyu looked around, "Where's An An?"

Xu Yao said with a headache, "My elder brother brought him a Rubik's Cube to play with, and I asked him to play with the Rubik's Cube with other children in the yard."

The young male protagonist Ji Chen looks about five or six years old, with a slightly plump figure, and appears to be older than Xu Jiaan. As the male protagonist, his facial features are naturally good-looking, but not as refined as Xu Jiaan.

At this moment, her eyes were red from crying, and snot was running down her nose, which looked a bit eye-catching.

I don’t know if there is such a thing as the male protagonist halo in this world?

She was worried that the villain Xu Jiaan would be in trouble once he met the male protagonist, even though Xu Jiaan is now as good as the male protagonist in every aspect.

"Where did An An hit you? Let us take a look. If it's serious, we can compensate you." Ji Changyu squatted down and stared at the other person.

Not sure if it was because Ji Changyu’s figure was too oppressive or because he was too nervous to look at him, Ji Chen looked away.

He hesitated and said that Xu Jiaan hit him on the head. When Xu Yao checked, he said that Xu Jiaan hit him on the leg.

Xu Yao asked him if it still hurt. Ji Chen said it hurt for a while, but then immediately changed his words and said it didn't hurt.

Everyone who saw this guilty and panicked look understood.

The curve of Xu Yao's red lips was cold and sharp. Just as she was about to go find Xu Jiaan, he came back with a bag on his back and a few kids from the compound.

"Mother."

He shouted to Xu Yao, and Xu Yao pulled him over.

"Did you hit Ji Chen?"

"No." Xu Jiaan looked at the children who came with him, "They can all testify for me that I didn't hit him."

"Yes, I will testify."

"He didn't hit me!"

“…”

"I, I..." After all, he was just a child, and Ji Chen soon couldn't hold back his tears, sobbing, "He didn't hit me, but he didn't play with me, and I was very angry."

Among the children's chatter, the truth is this.

Xu Jiaan was squatting under the shade of a tree playing with a Rubik's Cube. Several children had never seen this kind of toy before and they all wanted to play with his.

Xu Jiaan suggested that they could exchange it for food or toys. Ji Chen played with the Rubik's Cube for a while, but did not pay the "reward" as agreed, and wanted to continue playing.

Of course Xu Jiaan was not happy about this, and used the Rubik's Cube to tempt other children not to play with Ji Chen.

Ji Chen, who was alone and couldn't find a playmate, ran home crying. Seeing him crying so sadly, Ji Qinshi asked him if someone had beaten him.

He wanted to teach Xu Jiaan a lesson, so he said yes.

"Fighting will get mom in trouble, so I won't hit him no matter how angry I am."

Xu Jiaan raised his little chin and looked at Xu Yao with sparkling eyes, as if asking for praise and flattery.

It seems that he still remembers the time when he was collectively bullied in Xiahe Village.

So well behaved and smart!

It neither gave the other party any handle nor successfully taught them a lesson.

Xu Yao laughed, stroked his ahoge, and glanced at Ji Qin and the others.

"It's good that you don't let anger get the better of you. You can control your emotions. You're better than some adults."

After hearing what happened, Ji Qin angrily scolded Ji Chen and slapped him on the buttocks, trying to cover up the matter.

Zhu Zhongju's face was filled with embarrassment. He walked from behind Ji Qinshi, grabbed Ji Chen and walked in front of everyone.

"How can you wrongly accuse someone? Who did you learn this from? If your father in the army knew about this, he would blame us for not teaching you well and beat you to death! Apologize to An An and his family!"

She is usually either at work or busy serving Ji Qinshi and has no time to discipline her son. These words implicitly implied something about Ji Qinshi, and Xu Yao raised her eyelids in surprise.

"I'm sorry." Ji Chen hung his head, wiped his tears, and apologized honestly, "I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again next time. Can you still lend me the Rubik's Cube? I really like it. Please."

Xu Jiaan snorted proudly.

It was just a conflict between children and no one was hurt. The little incident ended with the little boy apologizing.

Listening to Ji Qin's loud cursing and Zhu Zhongju's constant whispering, and then looking at the young hero's dejected back, Xu Yao twisted her mouth.

Male lead?

That’s it?

Why do you look like a brainless naive person?

Xu Jiaan waved his hand impatiently, telling the children to go back, "I want to play with my mom, please stay away."

"It's not fun to play with mom, why don't you play with us?"

"An An, I want to play with you."

"Boys should play with boys."

The children chased them home reluctantly, but Xu Jiaan glared at them coldly.

When he looked at Xu Yao again, the little boy's glass-like eyes were filled with smiles, "Mom, let me show you the treasure I changed."

Xu Yao touched her nose.

Son, why do you act like a mama’s boy?

What should I do if I couldn’t find a wife?

The worried Xu Yao was led into the house by her son, and Xu Jiaan exerted force and poured out all the contents of the backpack.

Sesame candy, marshmallows, peach cakes, chocolates, comic books, bamboo grasshoppers... and even a pair of half-worn white shoes.

Xu Yao was stunned. What the hell is this?

A junk collector or a grocery store?

Should she praise him for keeping food, toys and shoes separate?

Xu Yao kept her eyes on her shoes, and Xu Jiaan spoke.

"They are all for mom. I lent the Rubik's Cube to Qin Xiaowu to play with until tomorrow, and he gave me this pair of shoes."

Xu Yao's eyes were complicated. "Son, what if... Qin Xiaowu's parents found out that he had lost a pair of shoes and came to you to ask for them? Would you give them to them or not?"

"Of course not."

Xu Jiaan calmly took out a letter of guarantee from his pocket.

This is a book that can barely be considered a transaction agreement.

He can write quite a few characters now, but still can't write complicated ones, so he uses pinyin instead. Other children can't write their names, so Xu Jiaan asked them to put their fingerprints on them.

Xu Yao, "..."

It was probably because she asked Xu Weidong and Xu Lanxiang to sign the certificate, and the little guy also remembered it.

"Okay, even if the agreement is valid, you don't need new shoes. These shoes are not your size, so you won't be able to wear them even if you change them back."

"I can sell it to others for money." Xu Jiaan said word by word in his childish voice.

"I originally wanted to take their money directly, but you and grandma let others exchange eggs for hair flowers, which means that taking money directly has a bad influence. So I took their things and then sold them to others."

The kids in the city all have pocket money, so he had already made up his mind to charge one cent for three pieces of marshmallows, selling them little by little. The money was not much and would not attract the attention of adults.

As the shoes are quite expensive, I'll ask my uncle to take them to the countryside and sell them to adults.

Xu Yao, "..."

6!
