"Master Zhong, don't be upset that the old man is talking to you!"
“You three siblings are good in every way, except that you’re too soft-hearted. They’ve come to bully us right at our doorstep, how can you not fight back at all!”
"Aren't you guys just waiting to be bullied to death?"
"What do you mean by 'whether they belong to the farm' or not'? We remember all the things you've done for the farm, and we must fight back when necessary!"
It's rare for Erlaizi's mother to agree with Erlaizi's father's point of view:
"It's rare for your grandpa to say something sensible. If we can't just guard against this, how long will it take?"
"Don't worry about Erlaizi. Your uncle and I aren't pushovers. When Erlaizi comes back, I'll tell him that if he dares to touch bean sprouts, I'll skin him alive and kick him out naked. He'll know what to do then!"
Erlaizi's mother believed that the best defense was to scare Wang Erlaizi away. As long as he didn't harbor any wicked intentions, Douya's family would be helpless.
Zhong Wanwan had achieved her goal: she had told them what had happened and warned Er Laizi's parents to be careful. Now it was time for her to move on to the next place!
Zhong Wanwan sat down and started to walk:
"Grandpa, Grandma, I feel much better now after talking to you. Little White Poplar is still at home, and I'm worried about her, so I'll head back now!"
Erlaizi's mother grabbed her arm:
"Master Zhong, don't leave yet. I have an idea about this. Would you like to hear it and see if it's feasible?"
If it were anyone else, Erlaizi's mother wouldn't want to get involved in this mess, but Master Zhong is a great benefactor to the family, so she can't just give him eight out of ten points of help!
Zhong Wanwan stopped:
"Tell me, if you can resolve Xiaobaiyang's matter, how can the three siblings possibly host a feast to thank you!"
Erlaizi's mother whispered in Zhong Wanwan's ear:
"I think that girl Douya's heart isn't with Xiaobaiyang. She's eyeing that Tang Zhiqing who lives at her house just like Erlaizi eyeing braised pork."
"This old lady may not have any other skills, but she's a master at passing on messages or keeping watch!"
"If you think it's okay, Auntie will go and take care of it right away. Just one night, and I'm not kidding, I can even get the message through the farm's dogs!"
At this point, Erlaizi's mother felt something was amiss. How could the dog be the one to deliver the message?
Since Erlaizi isn't home, isn't it perfect for Erlaizi's dad to do this? Let Erlaizi's dad handle the farm dog's message!
Er Laizi's mother's words struck a chord with Zhong Wanwan. It was so satisfying to talk to such a smart person; she understood everything immediately!
Zhong Wanwan nodded:
"Auntie, I'll go with you!"
Erlaizi's mother smiled mysteriously:
"You're no good. You and your aunt will go to Aunt Zhang's house later. Aunt Zhang and I will work together on this. We're the best match!"
Master Zhong is still a young woman; she's not cut out for this kind of thing. If she gets in the middle, she'll only make things worse. Even among women like them, they have to be careful about saying anything crude.
It still has to be my old partner, Aunt Zhang. With just a glance, she can tell what the other person is going to say next!
Zhong Wanwan understood that even if she didn't mind, these aunties and grandmas wouldn't speak freely in front of her, which would actually diminish the effect.
But if I tell Aunt Zhang, she has to come along, otherwise it will seem like she doesn't value it at all!
Zhong Wanwan, arm in arm with Erlaizi's mother:
“Auntie, I’ll go to Aunt Zhang’s house with you. It’s a matter for the three of us siblings, so I need to ask Aunt Zhang for help myself.”
"And Aunt Zhang's son, who has six fingers, earns quite a bit working as a substitute at the food factory. We also need to be careful, lest he get scammed!"
Erlaizi's mother gritted her teeth. Bean Sprout is really something. For a young woman to make a young man so wary, she's quite something!
