Chapter 261: Conquering the Enemy Without Fighting
Li Ye didn't sleep well on the train, so he lay down to take a nap after lunch. When he woke up, it was already three or four in the afternoon.
I drank too much noodle soup, so I got up and went out to pee. As a result, I saw the little girl sitting at the door of my room, holding a stick in her hand, just like when I was taking the college entrance examination, "no one was allowed to approach her."
But at this moment she lowered her head, her eyes half-open and half-closed, with a trace of saliva at the corner of her mouth, as if she was taking a nap.
Li Ye said nothing and went to run the water quietly. When he came back, he saw Li Juan coming from the kitchen. He kicked Li Ying and knocked the dozing sister to the ground.
Li Ye was about to scold Li Juan, telling her not to commit domestic violence, but he heard Li Juan talking in a clapperboard style.
"I asked you to watch the door but you slept, I asked you to sleep but you ate secretly, I asked you to eat but you picked the meat"
“.”
"Woohoo~ I'll fight for you!"
Li Ying, who had just been awakened, jumped up, bent down, stretched out her hand, grabbed her sister's arm, and pushed her little head against her sister's waist.
Although Li Ying is three years younger than Li Juan and much weaker, she is full of fighting spirit and charges forward like an angry calf.
Li Ye, who originally wanted to stop it, is no longer in a hurry. Fighting between two children can help deepen their relationship. Otherwise, when they are old and recall the past, they will not be able to remember their childhood impressions of each other.
Anyway, the two girls were just pulling each other, at most they would just cry a bit, no big deal.
But the next moment, Li Ye's face turned dark.
The elder sister Li Juan tripped and fell, and threw her younger sister Li Ying to the ground.
"Hey, hey, hey, Li Juan, take your hands away from me!"
Li Ye ran over in two or three steps, looked around Li Juan, and said in surprise: "You are very skilled in this posture! Huh? You must have practiced with Li Ying a lot, right?"
Li Juan, who had just rolled up her sleeves, quietly put them down while muttering, "You can't do anything if you get beaten all day long! You're about to go to junior high school, and you can only eat."
Li Ye said seriously: "No matter how bad she is, it is your sister. My sister is for pain, not for beating.
She is only in her teens this year? It’s good enough for her to add firewood to the stove, and you still expect her to be able to repair the house and farm.”
Li Ye's lecture on "sisterly love" made Li Juan's eyes red.
Li Ying stood behind Li Ye, with her chin raised like a proud little rooster, glaring at her sister.
Li Juan got angry and threw out a powerful weapon.
"It's okay if she can't do this or that, but she failed the exam and ranked third from the bottom. She won't improve unless she is beaten."
Li Ying: “.”
Li Ye: “.”
Li Ying stared at her sister blankly. An angry look flashed across her eyes, and then her face was full of grievance and resentment, as if saying, "How can you expose someone's shortcomings? I am your own sister~"
Li Ye pursed his lips and looked back at the dejected Li Ying: "Xiaoying, we don't have to be in the top three in the class, but we can't be the third from the bottom either!"
Li Ying took a step back timidly and said softly, "I'm not the third from the bottom. I'm the forty-eighth from the top."
"You are really cunning," said sister Li Juan sarcastically, "There are fifty people in your class, and forty-eight is the third from the bottom."
Li Ying, the younger sister, was furious and said to her elder sister: "You are still fighting in school! The teacher has come to your home and the medical expenses alone cost them 1.8 yuan."
“.”
Li Ye was a little confused. Why did he feel that these two sisters were not good kids who were easy to take care of?
Look at Wen Leyu, so cute and sensible, and then look at you?
Forget it, the two of them together are no match for Wen Leyu.
Li Ye thought about it for a while, and then asked Li Juan: "Xiao Juan, why did you hit someone?"
Li Juan, who was still angry a second ago, suddenly fell silent. She raised her head and looked at Li Ye for a few seconds, then lowered her head and said nothing.
But Li Ye clearly saw tears welling up in the corners of her eyes within a few seconds.
Li Ye turned to Li Ying and asked, "Little sister, tell me why my sister fought?"
"The kid from Wu the Butcher's family on East Street said something about us."
"Shut up~"
Li Juan shouted loudly and Li Ying immediately shut her mouth. It turned out that her sister's blood pressure was not to be underestimated.
Then the little girl Li Ying also lowered her head and acted like a fool with her sister.
Well, Li Ye knew that he had said too much.
He is not one of those stupid parents on TV who insists on getting to the bottom of things.
Aren’t the reactions of these two children enough to explain the problem?
Someone must be talking behind my back!
"Oh, fighting is not shameful. If you don't believe me, go ask around. Your brother is a big shot in fighting. Everyone in the county knows about it."
“.”
Li Juan and Li Ying both raised their heads and looked at Li Ye eagerly, looking silly and cute.
Li Ye said consolingly: "We can't take the initiative to provoke others, but if others provoke us, then fight! If you can't beat them, come back and tell your sister and dad, and let them help you fight."
Li Juan sniffed and nodded repeatedly, expressing her admiration and approval for her brother.
But her younger sister Li Ying said worriedly: "But if that happens, our mother will beat us up!"
“.”
"Come on, let's go out for a walk and see if there are any dishes we can buy back for dinner!"
Li Ye simply stopped nagging and asked his two sisters to go out shopping.
"I know, I know. There's a stall selling pig heads at the back door of our school. They're cheap and delicious."
"Their pig head meat is not cheap. It's much more expensive than fried fruit."
"I say you are stupid and you still don't accept it. If pig's head meat is cheaper than fruit, can it still be called pig's head meat?"
"You are the stupid one!"
"You're stupid!"
"You're stupid!"
The two girls really became cheerful, following closely like little tails, and even bickering with each other all the way.
Li Ye first took his two sisters to wander around the county town, buying this and that and carrying two large bags.
Then Li Ye discovered that although the family was no longer short of money, the quality of life of Li Juan and Li Ying did not seem to have changed much.
When they see a lot of things, the desire in their eyes is real. Just a few candies and snacks make them extremely happy.
It seems that the idea of raising girls in wealth has not yet emerged these days.
Li Ye wandered around until he arrived at East Street, and then began to ask where Butcher Wu lived.
When Li Juan heard Li Ye asking about Butcher Wu's home, she was very smart and immediately grabbed the corner of Li Ye's clothes.
"Don't go, brother. They didn't ask for much last time, but I spent 1.8 yuan."
Looking at the uneasy Li Juan, Li Ye smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? I'm not going to fight."
Li Juan opened her mouth, obviously in disbelief.
[It would be a pity if you didn't fight! I only paid 1.8 yuan, but you were...]
However, Li Juan was not strong enough to hold Li Ye back, and the three siblings soon reached the door of Wu the Butcher's house.
“Woof woof woof~”
A big dog squatted at the door and barked at Li Ye. Looking at its shiny fur, it was obvious that it had a lot of fat on its body.
When Li Ying saw the big dog, she hid behind Li Ye, obviously she was very afraid of dogs, but Li Juan had already picked up a brick and shook it to see if it fit her hand.
A few old men who were enjoying the cool under the big tree warned Li Ye and his sister: "Those three kids, stay away from the dog, because the dog can bite people!"
"Why keep a dog if it doesn't bite people? Keep it for meat?"
Hearing the dog barking, a half-grown child came out of the door, looking disdainful as he walked.
He is not tall, but he is chubby and quite heavy.
But when he saw Li Juan holding a brick, the fat boy subconsciously wanted to run back, but when he thought he was at the door of his house, he turned around and came back.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing, just came over to ask you something," Li Ye asked calmly, "Can you please stop scolding my sister in the future?"
"I... No, he didn't scold me later and I didn't know he was your sister~"
The little fat boy was about to cry.
Although Li Ye in front of him was calm and indifferent, he felt cold all over, as if he was countless times more terrifying than Li Juan who was swinging a brick and rushing towards him madly.
"What's wrong? Who are you talking to, Xiaoban'er?"
Another woman came out of the door. She was startled when she saw Li Ye and the other two, and then she put on a smile.
"No, our children are very well behaved. It was the kids in the same class who instigated them."
"It's okay, it's all in the past. I'm not here to cause trouble today."
Li Ye smiled and said to the little fat boy, "Anyway, you know where my home is. If my sister is bullied at school in the future, could you please go home and tell her?"
"Yes, yes, yes~"
The little fat boy nodded quickly in agreement.
Li Ye smiled and stuffed a bag of snacks into the little fat boy's hand, saying, "My sister's hand was heavy, and she broke your head. I'm sorry!"
"Ah? No, no, it's okay, it's all right."
The little fat boy took the snacks that Li Ye stuffed into his hands, completely confused about what was going on.
Even the woman didn't understand what was going on.
At that time, the child's head was broken, and he went to the door in anger to take the 1.8 yuan. Later, he felt that he was too reckless for a long time. It was not a good thing to offend the Li family.
When I saw Li Ye today, I thought I was going to suffer a loss again! Unexpectedly, he gave me a bag of snacks.
"How can this be so embarrassing! How can this be so embarrassing!"
"It's okay, let's go."
Li Ye turned around and left, but seeing that the big dog was still barking, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes and said twice: "Well, this dog is not bad, it can't be stewed in one pot."
“.”
After Li Ye walked a long way, he heard the dog screaming behind him.
. . . . . . .
"Brother, why did you give him a bag of crispy pastries? I didn't even eat a single bite."
After leaving East Street, Li Juan threw the brick in her hand and muttered something in anger.
It's not like the fat boy didn't hit her during the fight. She had the nerve to ask his parents for help when she couldn't win. The 1.8 yuan compensation was not enough, and today she had to give him a bag of delicious food as well. Little Li Juan felt very wronged.
But Li Ye said, "Xiaojuan! Fighting is fun, but it is only the last resort. The best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting."
Li Juan and Li Ying were both stunned by what they heard. They felt that the Li Ye in front of them did not match the legendary brave brother.
But at night, the two girls were full of admiration for Li Ye.
When Li Zhongfa came back, he carried two net bags filled with cleaned dog meat.
Wu Juying asked in confusion: "What's wrong? You're eating meat in the hot summer. Are you feeling cold?"
"You're still feeling cold. It's because Wu the butcher on East Street is feeling guilty. Your good grandson has been restless for a while since he came back." Li Zhongfa snorted and said, "They brought it to my doorstep, and I spent several dollars to buy it."
Wu Juying was stunned for a moment, then went to ask Li Ye.
Li Ye did not hide anything and explained the whole thing honestly without hiding anything.
The two younger sisters were hiding nearby, shivering.
This whole thing was caused by the two of them. If grandma gets angry, mom will turn around and beat them for real!
But after listening to it, Wu Juying said, "Well, this is a good thing to do. When a sister is bullied, the brother should stand up for her."
Li Juan and Li Ying looked at each other, and then they had the same idea - there should be a boy in the family, and it feels so good to have a brother.
I would like to clarify that sometimes Lao Feng changes the content of the post, and the subsequent comments will be automatically deleted by the system, so it is not Lao Feng's fault. For example, in the previous chapter, Lao Feng really made a mistake in the part about going out for dumplings and coming home for noodles. With the passing of the older generation, these rules are becoming less and less, and Lao Feng's memory is blurred.
