Synopsis: Xiang Yao merely read a novel about the olden days before bed, and when she closed and opened her eyes again, she had not only traveled to the 1970s, but also carried a space filled with ...
Chapter 76 Guagua My advice is, don't consider this kind of person. ...
Xiang Yao was holding a hatchet, standing on a higher place on the river bank, with his fingers folded and a relaxed posture.
She looked at the four drenched and disheveled teenagers on the shore, a hint of scorn curling up at the corner of her mouth. "What's wrong with you? Why are you all swollen like pigs?"
The four of them didn't expect that there was someone nearby. They all turned around suddenly, and Xiang Liang and Li Qiang opened their eyes so wide that they were swollen into slits.
Xiang Liang thought, "You're the pig! How can you describe someone like that?" But this person was Xiang Yao, the one who had the audacity to slap him so suddenly. He didn't dare fight back, so he opened his mouth but said nothing.
Li Qiang was quite polite and called her "cousin" in a low voice.
Xiang Yao hummed, his eyes swept over them one by one, and asked, "What is this?"
Li Qiang looked at his friend and said sheepishly, "Nothing, nothing. We were just walking around and ran into a group of bumblebees and got stung."
Xiang Yao nodded, expressing his understanding: "Okay, your luck is really not very good."
Seeing the four people showing indignant expressions on their faces after hearing this, Xiang Yao raised his eyebrows and felt refreshed.
I didn’t expect that swarm of bees was so powerful, haha.
Chanting that evildoers will be punished, Xiang Yao swung his hatchet, picking off flowers and leaves along the way, and left easily, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.
As for these four little bastards, after what happened, I hope they can keep quiet for a while.
When she reached the foot of the slope leading to Xiang's house, she saw a tall figure sitting on a bicycle, obviously waiting for her.
The setting sun's glow half-illuminated his face, and it was difficult to see his expression between the light and the dark.
Xiang Yao thought of the intimate contact in the morning and felt her heart beating faster again. She quickly slowed down her breathing and walked steadily towards the other person.
"Nie Baichuan, are you here to ask me about asking Brother Fu to deliver peanuts?" She smiled and took the initiative to explain, "It's to lure them away so I can teach those little rascals a lesson."
Nie Baichuan nodded, handed the basket back to her, and said simply, "There's one more thing."
Xiang Yao opened his eyes wide: "What?"
She took the basket, which was heavy. It was obvious that Nie Baichuan had not touched the peanuts inside and returned them to her as they were.
"Didn't you ask me to check on that Zhou guy?" Nie Baichuan said indifferently, seemingly unconcerned. "I asked the people over there a little bit."
Xiang Yao: "How is it?"
"Not good. That Zhou has bad legs and a bad temper..." Nie Baichuan briefly explained the Zhou family's situation and stared at Xiang Yao gravely. "My advice is, don't consider this kind of person."
Xiang Yao curled his lips, thinking about the fact that Zhou was a cripple, and said casually, "I hadn't considered it in the first place. It was my family who instigated this matter. Well, forget it, there's nothing much to say. Now that I know the situation, I have a clear idea in my mind."
Nie Baichuan nodded lightly, turned the bike around, and rode away.
Xiang Yao was so immersed in his own thoughts that he didn't even know when the other person disappeared.
She thought to herself, what is coming will come.
Although he had indeed changed some things after traveling through time, the lame man that his original body had married actually showed up on time.
Originally, she thought that it might not be the lame domestic violence man, but now that Nie Baichuan's investigation results came out, that little bit of luck disappeared without a trace.
What is meant to come will come, but she is not her original self, so she will never marry into such a family and live a hard life.
However, she remembered that the book described the Zhou family as being extremely poor, so how come Nie Baichuan said that the family was quite wealthy?
Xiang Yao thought about it, but couldn't figure out the reason. He guessed that things might change over time, and this family might soon fall into decline.
She shook her head, put the matter aside, and focused on thinking about how to break the deadlock.
After thinking for a long time, I finally felt that there was no solution to the situation. She insisted on not getting married anyway. Could her family force her to get married?
After taking a deep breath, Xiang Yao was certain that the people in the Xiang family did not have the courage to do so, so he felt a little relieved.
Just as he was about to turn around, Xiang Yao stopped and looked at the figure crossing the ridge of the field not far away.
Huh? Xiang Xiuxiu?
Didn't she say she was going to see her classmates? Why was she acting so sneaky, as if she had done something bad? Xiang Xiuxiu, who was guessing with great interest, walked with her head down, glancing back from time to time, when she suddenly noticed her. She was surprised for a moment, and then she couldn't help but reveal an unnatural expression.
"What are you doing standing here? You scared me!" Xiang Xiuxiu patted her chest and said unhappily.
Xiang Yao raised an eyebrow: "If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. Xiuxiu, did you do something wrong that scared you like this?"
Xiang Xiuxiu glared at her and stammered, "Who, who has done something wrong? Don't tell me nonsense!"
Xiang Yao smiled, stopped talking, and turned to go up the hill.
Xiang Xiuxiu followed behind him: "Hey, did you hear that? Stop talking nonsense."
Xiang Yao didn't even turn around or look at her: "What are you afraid of? I don't know what you did, what can I say?"
Xiang Xiuxiu was choked, annoyed at herself for losing her temper, stomped her feet and stopped talking.
The Xiang family lost a pair of daughters and sons-in-law, and the atmosphere was no longer as good as before. The men stopped talking and gathered together to discuss business matters. The women were busy making dinner, but they still kept chatting about family matters.
Liu Xiaolan was the first to notice Xiang Xiuxiu had returned. She quickly pulled her daughter along, muttering softly, "Oh, you're finally back. I left you an egg. Come with me and eat it. Don't tell anyone."
Xiang Xiuxiu was pulled into the room by her mother. She subconsciously glanced at Xiang Yao sideways, as if she was worried that she would interfere.
He gave Yao a polite smile and said nothing.
No one secretly saved any eggs for her, but she was not jealous. After all, she had money, tickets, and all kinds of fruits. What could she not buy if she wanted to eat?
There is no need to envy or be jealous of others.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yao picked up the basket and prepared to take it back to his room.
Xiang Yinliu was just coming out of the kitchen when she saw Xiang Yao coming in from outside. She quickly asked, "Yaoyao, did you see my Li Qiang outside? I don't know where this kid went!"
Xiang Yao couldn't help but think of those bastards looking like wild boars. She suppressed her laughter, but her tone was uncontrollably cheerful: "I saw them. Li Qiang and Xiang Liang are together."
"But," she continued lightly, "my two brothers are not in good condition right now. They were stung by wild bees and their heads are swollen like pigs."
Having said this, she was afraid that she would not be able to control her laughter, so she quickly turned sideways and stuffed a candy into her mouth.
"What!" Xiang Yinliu's voice suddenly became high-pitched. "Stung by a bee?!"
She looked at Xiang Yao and asked, "You've seen it all, why didn't you ask the two of them to come back quickly?"
Xiang Yao said innocently, "How can I even scream..."
Xiang Yinliu wanted to glare at the girl, but she finally restrained herself and forced a smile: "Where are they?"
Xiang Yao pointed in the direction of the river bank: "That's the wasteland over there."
Xiang Yinliu didn't care about anything else and rushed out to find someone.
She gave birth to a son and a daughter, and regarded Li Qiang as her lifeblood. She usually doted on him. But when she heard that her son had been stung by a bee and his head had turned into a pig's, she felt heartbroken and even hated her nephew Xiang Liang.
If that boy hadn't taken her Li Qiang around everywhere, would he have been stung by a bee?
Xiang Yao had no idea that she still had such thoughts. Seeing her rushing out of the house angrily, he thought she was going to teach the brat a lesson. He secretly gloated for a while and sat in the yard eating melon seeds.
During the meal, Zhang Juhua came out to get some water. Seeing her carefree and relaxed appearance, she felt so angry that she started to curse at her:
"Other people are busy as hell, but there are some people who do nothing, just like an old man who only knows how to wait for food!"
"I think she's just a good-for-nothing! She really doesn't know her own limitations!"
Xiang Yao spat out a piece of melon seed shell and shouted to the group of men, "Uncle San! My grandma is talking to you! Hurry up and get back to work. What are you still talking about?"
Xiang Jinsheng was chatting casually when he heard Xiang Yao shouting. He looked up in confusion, not knowing what she was talking about.
Zhang Juhua never expected Xiang Yao to shift the blame to someone else, and she was so angry that her lungs ached.
She really wanted to point at Xiang Yao and curse her, but seeing that everyone in the yard was looking at her, she was afraid that Xiang Yao would lose her temper in public, so she swallowed her words.
However, the pots and pans in the kitchen suffered some damage. They were all smashed to the ground with a ping-pong sound, and even Zhou Aihua and Liu Xiaolan, who were cooking, kept eating the leftovers.
Xiang Yao didn't care. She felt quite sympathetic towards her aunt at first. She had always been under the oppression of Zhang Juhua and her life must be so hard.
But now she no longer had such an idea. Ever since Zhou Aihua and her mother-in-law were urging her to marry into the Zhou family, she knew that these people were all cunning and had their own shrewd plans. Once interests were involved, none of them were good people.
She didn't need to waste any more sympathy on such a person.
Xiang Yao cracked melon seeds and snorted coldly, "Hmph, let them torment each other, she's not afraid at all."
Before sunset, Xiang Yinliu brought the two brothers Li Qiang and Xiang Liang back.
The two swollen pig heads attracted everyone's attention. Even Xiang Gensheng, who usually tends to be reserved, couldn't help but exclaim "Wow" in amazement.
Xiang Liang had a cold face and couldn't stand these looks. As soon as he came back, he rushed into the room and slammed the door.
Li Qiang did not have this condition. He wanted to slip away, but his mother treated him like a treasure and could not tolerate him disappearing from under her nose.
Xiang Yinliu was truly anxious, and as soon as she walked in, she asked, "I remember there used to be an old man named Sun who could make talismans and water to treat bee stings and snake bites? Let's ask him to come and check out Xiaoqiang and Xiaoliang! They're terribly swollen!"
Xiang Jinsheng wasn't worried at all, and said calmly, "Old Man Sun? He passed away last year."
This person has some skills. He can draw talismans and pick some herbs himself to treat some injuries. However, some injuries can be cured, but some cannot.
When the Xiang family's children were sick with mumps when they were young, it was this man who cured them.
But now that the person is gone, Xiang Yinliu's idea was dashed. She looked at the swelling on Li Qiang's head and felt so distressed.
"I'm still worried. I have to take Xiaoqiang back to find someone to check on him."
He didn't even eat dinner and hurried away with Li Qiang.
Xiang Yao shook his legs, watched the people leave indifferently, and once again sighed at his masterpiece.
