My Ancestral Jade Pendant is a Space, No Panic During the Famine

Yu Qingqing was a professional woman from a modern, high-tech developed era who transmigrated to a fictional ancient era. On her way back from a business trip, she encountered a landslide and was t...

Chapter 17: Next-door Neighbor "Yu Ling'er"

Yu Qingji's loud voice startled the neighbors next door.

There are other hunters in the village, but not many can hunt wild boars. Wild boar is meat after all, and who doesn't crave meat these days?

"Oh my! It's really a wild boar. Yu Qingshu is so amazing. It weighs such a big wild boar. It looks like it weighs more than 100 pounds. It's going to make a fortune!"

The neighbor next door is called "Auntie Ge", who likes to meddle in other people's business. There is a daughter named "Yu Ling'er" in the family. She is only fifteen years old this year and has just celebrated her coming-of-age ceremony.

Yu Ling'er has a pretty face. Her favorite feature is her smooth black hair, and she pays great attention to its maintenance every day.

Yu Ling'er's father is a butcher who usually sells pork wholesale in town, so Yu Ling'er's family is considered to be relatively well-off in the village. Yu Ling'er also has an older brother named "Yu Caisheng", who is sixteen years old this year.

In her heart, Yu Ling'er was actually very jealous of Yu Qingqing and Yu Qingmei, because everyone in the village said that they were the most beautiful girls in the village.

However, Yu Ling'er herself thinks that she is the "most beautiful" one, and she often behaves like a young lady at home. Apart from eating, she basically does not do any housework every day.

But Yu Qingqing didn't care about her little tricks and rarely interacted with her. But some people are like that, if you ignore them, they will get closer.

"Oh, Yu Qingqing, why are you following me everywhere? A woman shouldn't be taken care of at home. Instead, she should show her face in public. Be careful that you won't be able to get married in the future and no one will want you!"

Yu Ling'er looked at Yu Qingqing with vicious eyes, thinking that it would be even better if she could take this opportunity to ruin her reputation.

Then she continued, "Hunting is not something a girl should do. Maybe you have no food at home, so you go out like this! Be careful that someone takes advantage of you." Yu Ling'er began to exaggerate again.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are a useless person who can't do anything at home. Apart from eating, no one would want such a person. After all, no one wants to marry an ancestor and support him, right?"

Yu Qingqing really couldn't bear it anymore, so she put the things at the door and went back.

"You! You!" Yu Ling'er was speechless for a long time, and ran home with her little face flushed red.

She is indeed a delicate young lady who cannot bring herself to lose face when someone says something to her.

"You little bitch, how dare you say that to my precious Ling'er? Just wait for me. I'll tear your mouth apart."

Aunt Ge saw that her daughter was at a disadvantage. At this time, Yu Qingqing was the only one outside, so she became bolder and prepared to go forward and attack.

Of course Yu Qingqing was not afraid of an old lady. She picked up a wooden stick and was about to step forward.

Yu Qingshu had just finished putting his things away, and Hua Qinglu had been busy helping to get the prey, so he hadn't noticed his daughter. The two of them just happened to come out and saw Aunt Ge's aggressive look nearby, and they immediately became angry too.

"That's really good. You bully my daughter while I'm away." Hua Qinglu said, looking like a hen protecting her chicks, standing in front of Yu Qingqing.

If that old hag dares to come up, I will fight her. Hua Qinglu thought so and instantly wanted to transform into a female man.

When Yu Qingshu saw that his wife was in front of his daughter, he immediately went in front of his wife.

"What do you want? Your daughter is allowed to cause trouble, but my daughter can't fight back, right?" Yu Qingshu also roughly understood what happened. He didn't expect that his daughter would suffer such a great injustice after he had been in there for a while.

It's really unbearable, so you have to not give in.

"Tell your daughter to come out and apologize immediately, otherwise when your husband comes back, I will go to your house and have a good talk to see who is right and who is wrong."

Yu Qingshu did not evade and shouted sternly.

"Oh no! If my husband knew about this, he would definitely skin me alive." Aunt Ge thought to herself. She really couldn't let her husband know about this, otherwise she would be in big trouble.

"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! Why bother with so much trouble? I'll call my daughter out right away. Ling'er! Come out and apologize to your sister Qingqing. Otherwise, when your father comes back, we'll all be in trouble." Aunt Ge shouted anxiously into the house, hoping her daughter wouldn't do anything stupid at this time.

"Mom, why should I apologize? She scolded me. She said things about me... about me..." Yu Ling'er said a few words and started to sob, looking very sad.

"My daughter said she scolded you, but only if you scolded her first. Just now your mother wanted to hit my daughter, so we can't just let it go like this! Otherwise, let's wait for your father to come back and let him judge the matter." Yu Qingshu continued to speak to Aunt Ge.

"My dear daughter, please bear with it for a while and apologize to your sister Qingqing, but don't let your father know." Aunt Ge took Yu Ling'er a few steps forward.

Yu Ling'er gritted her teeth, feeling a surge of resentment, unable to vent it. She had no choice but to compromise.

"Sister Qingqing, I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything else. I was just worried that you, a woman, would suffer outside. The words I used were not very appropriate. I hope you can forgive me this time." Yu Ling'er pretended to be weak and frail and apologized to Yu Qingqing.

Yu Qingqing was too lazy to look at her face, nor did she want to continue to argue.

"It's okay, since you didn't mean it, then I accept it. I didn't mean to say those things either, so don't mind it." Yu Qingqing was also a person who could talk her way out of it. She didn't want to waste too much time, as she still had to go to town later. Where would she have so much free time?

After that, they all went home. It was said that the blacksmith Wu Dayong had spent almost all his family's money on food that day. He bought 30 catties of corn and 100 catties of brown rice, spending a total of 100 coins.

Wu Dayong had heard some rumors and was thinking about his future plans.

"Qinghai, you have been studying for two years and have mastered the basic skills. Last time your father said that food prices have risen, but I don't think this matter is that simple! What are your plans? Do you want to continue studying or go home and discuss it with your father?"

Wu Dayong called Yu Qinghai over. He thought, if it really came to that, he couldn't let someone else's father and son be separated. Although once a teacher, always a father, as long as there was a destiny, they would meet sooner or later.

"Master, I want to go home, but please rest assured that I will never forget your kindness. I will repay you in the future."

Yu Qinghai kowtowed three times on the ground and spoke seriously.
