When Ming Leyao brought Fourth Aunt and Ming Xiaoxue back to her home, it was almost evening. Grandma Cui was warming the rice in the pot and was sitting in the yard with her husband playing with the dog.
When I heard the door open and turned around, I saw a thin woman and a little girl of about eleven or twelve following Ming Leyao.
"Grandma Cui, this is my fourth aunt. She just separated from the old house and is staying at home for a few days."
"Aunt Four, these two are the parents of one of my uncles. They will stay here with me for a few days."
"Uncle Cui, Aunt Cui, I'm sorry to bother you."
"Hey, hurry up, give me the thing. Look at your small body, and you are carrying such a heavy thing."
As she spoke, Grandma Cui took the bag from Fourth Aunt's hand and looked down at Ming Xiaoxue again.
"How old are you, little girl?"
"Grandma, I'm fourteen years old."
"Ah? Already fourteen?"
Looking at the skinny and tiny Ming Xiaoxue, Grandma Cui's sympathy overflowed again.
He pulled the two people into the kitchen, took out the food, and told them to eat quickly.
Fourth Aunt and Ming Xiaoxue looked at the eggs on the table, feeling a little helpless.
Ming Leyao, who had put the things away, naturally saw the expressions of the two people. She sat beside them with understanding and used the chopsticks that had never been used to pick up a lot of eggs in everyone's bowl.
"Aunt Si, Xiaoxue, health is the capital of revolution. Only when you are healthy can you create a better living environment for yourself and help reduce the burden on Uncle Si. With me, you can eat with confidence and don't think about anything else."
"Hey, Aunt Four, I'll listen to you."
Aunt Ming Si was not a stubborn person. She knew the current situation at home and understood that what Ming Leyao said was right, so she ate the eggs in the bowl without hesitation.
At the same time, I will keep Ming Leyao's kindness in mind.
"Wow, Mom, this is corn rice with sweet potatoes in it. It smells so good."
"This little girl really knows what's good. Haha, today's meal is cooked by grandma, so eat more."
"Thank you, grandma. I will definitely finish them all."
"Good, good."
Seeing the happy atmosphere in the kitchen, Mr. Cui couldn't help but smile. He reached out and touched the dog's soft belly, and sighed, "It's great. The family is getting more and more lively."
After dinner, Ming Leyao boiled a pot of water, filled two thermoses, and quietly dripped water from the Golden Lotus Pond into the thermoses.
He placed one pot in the old couple's room and carried the other pot into the house.
After a busy day, she was indeed a little tired, but she couldn't sleep yet.
Mingshi is a vindictive person. How happy can he be when he is forced to separate the family today?
If he was unhappy, then someone must be unhappy with him, and Ming Leyao couldn't think of anyone else who could be that person except herself.
Seeing that Fourth Aunt and Ming Xiaoxue had already gone to bed, she blew out the candle, lay down on the bed with her clothes on, and closed her eyes to rest.
It was not until the second half of the night that a very small sound was heard in the yard. Ming Leyao suddenly opened her eyes, confirmed that the person next to her was still asleep, and quietly got up, picked up a stick and stood guard at the door of the main room.
As the sound of clothes rubbing against each other got closer, a shiny kitchen knife appeared under the bolt of the main room's door.
Gently opening the bolt.
Ming Leyao raised her eyebrows and took a few steps back.
At this time, the door of the old couple's room opened. The old man was about to go to the toilet in a daze and was almost scared to death by Ming Leyao.
"I..."
Before the old man could finish his words, Ming Leyao quickly interrupted him.
"Grandpa Cui, it's me."
“.......”
"There's someone outside trying to break into the door. Go back inside and hide."
"????"
Someone was breaking into the door? Who? Could it be his rival?
Who leaked the news that he was here?
In these few short seconds, it seemed as if a century had passed in the old man's brain.
Thinking of a room full of old, weak, women and children...
The old man patted Ming Leyao's hand and turned to look for something handy.
Before Ming Leyao could push the old man into the house, the door to the main room was opened.
A figure emerged from the darkness.
Look at that figure..
Wow, Mingshi is taking part in the battle himself?
She thought this guy would spend money to find someone.
If Ming Shi knew what Ming Leyao was thinking, he would be so angry that he would be furious.
Spend money, spend money, but you have to have money to spend.
In a flash, Ming Leyao rushed forward and hit Ming Shi on the head with a club.
Mingshi screamed and took two steps back. After seeing Qingming Leyao's figure, he raised the kitchen knife and rushed towards her angrily.
"Huh? You little bastard, you are showing off your sword in front of Guan Gong. I think you are looking for death."
Mr. Cui was so excited that he wanted to rush over, and Ming Leyao was so scared that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
Oh my god, this old man is so awesome.
“Don’t…don’t…”
Seeing that the two men were about to face off, Ming Leyao didn't care about anything else and swung the stick out, hitting Ming Shi's shoulder. Ming Shi felt pain and subconsciously pressed his painful shoulder with his hand, and the kitchen knife fell to the ground.
Ming Leyao picked up the kitchen knife and stuffed it into Grandpa Cui's hand, then kicked the man out, rushed outside, found a rope, and tied the man up tightly.
“Ouch, ouch…”
Mingshi was tied up like a ball, rolling back and forth on the ground and crying in pain.
"Sister...sister...what's wrong?"
When Ming Xiaoxue and her mother heard the noise, they quickly put on their clothes and went out of the house. They happened to see Grandma Cui next door. The three of them walked to the door together and looked around.
"It's okay, Xiaoxue, go find the captain, do you dare? I'll let Gouzi accompany you."
Ming Xiaoxue glanced at the cute dog lying on the ground, then looked at the dark night outside, and shook herself...
"Don't be afraid, Mom will go with you."
"No, Mom, I'm not afraid."
You must be kidding. With her mother's physique, she would probably faint before she even reaches the captain's house.
What should she do then?
"Grandpa will go with you."
Without waiting for anyone to refuse, Mr. Cui directly pulled Ming Xiaoxue out. Ming Leyao was worried, so he asked Gou Zi to follow behind.
This dog is a little small, but after drinking so much water from the Golden Lotus Pond, it is not comparable to ordinary dogs. Its destructive power is still quite amazing.
“This person is…”
"Yes..Yes..Brother?"
"Big brother? Who's big brother?"
Grandma Cui looked at Aunt Ming with a confused look on her face.
"Aunt Cui is my man's elder brother."
"He is the worst one in the Ming family?"
"......"
How can a woman like her respond to this?
"What is he doing here?"
"I would like to know..."
Ming Leyao shrugged. Since nothing had come of the matter, it was better not to say certain things.
"How can there be such bad relatives? Oh, what a sin."
“.......”
There is no way to respond to this.
Not long after, the captain and several members of the militia appeared in Ming Leyao's yard with great momentum.
