Li Chunhua wore a pale yellow dress, which made her look charming and lovely. Her fair skin appeared even fairer under the makeup, and she could be considered a pretty girl from afar.
Li Chunhua naturally saw Jiang Yimian as well, and her originally shy and timid gaze instantly turned into anger and jealousy.
Staring at Jiang Yimian's smooth skin with some dissatisfaction, he realized that she didn't have to do anything all day and always stayed at home to have this barely fair skin. This other person, on the other hand, was in the sun all day and was still fair and clean, with a foxy look that he found repulsive.
She looked displeased and said irritably, "What are you doing here?"
Jiang Yimian didn't even glance at her, giving her no look whatsoever, and was about to knock on the door.
Li Chunhua quickly walked over, pushed Jiang Yimian aside, and said irritably, "I was here first, I'll knock first."
She knew this guy was definitely thinking the same thing as her, and she couldn't admit defeat.
Jiang Yimian shrugged, not taking it seriously at all.
Li Chunhua instantly became like a victorious rooster, raising her neck to knock on the door. Her initial fear was instantly lessened by Jiang Yimian.
Those people in the village must be talking nonsense. Lu Cijian doesn't look like a fierce person at all. The story about raising a wolfhound must be fake. They just want to deceive her so that she can marry Lu Cijian.
She won't fall for it.
If her family hadn't been busy clearing land these past few days, she would definitely have come this morning.
Thinking it over, she simply reached out and gently knocked on the door in front of her.
The door suddenly opened, clearly unlocked.
She was immediately excited and pushed open the door. Before she could even utter a sweet "Brother Lu," it turned into a piercing scream.
"ah!"
A large black wolfhound, about half a person's height, suddenly ran out of the house and pounced on Li Chunhua.
Li Chunhua was so frightened that her face turned pale. She immediately abandoned all pretense of decorum and screamed as she ran outside.
Unfortunately, the area was under construction, with rubble and bricks piled up on the ground. She slipped and fell to the ground.
Just as the wolfhound with its mouth wide open was about to bite the other person's face, Jiang Yimian grabbed the wolfhound's tail.
With its tail grabbed, the large wolfhound was unable to move, its eyes glaring fiercely at Jiang Yimian.
Jiang Yimian simply raised her hand and gave the big wolfhound a sharp slap. The wolfhound was stunned and could only howl in grievance, its eyes changing from fierce to obedient and dissatisfied.
She looks just like Mimi, and everyone's afraid she'll hit her.
Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow, finding it amusing.
Li Chunhua glanced at Jiang Yimian in alarm, and seeing that she was not injured, she immediately got up from the ground.
Upon seeing Lu Cijian emerge from the backyard, she immediately complained, feeling wronged, "Brother Lu, look at her! She instigated the big wolfhound to bully me!"
Jiang Yimian: ...
She had already done more than she should have helped her.
Thinking about it, she let go.
The large wolfhound, which had been unable to move, was now free and ran excitedly towards Li Chunhua again.
The person, who had been acting all sweet and coquettish, was so frightened that she let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
"Ah, help! Help me!"
Jiang Yimian listened to the incessant shouting and felt a pain in her ears; this guy had a really loud voice.
Lu Cijian frowned and said coldly, "Coal lumps."
The large wolfhound that had been chasing Li Chunhua fiercely suddenly stopped, whimpered pitifully a few times, and then obediently ran to Lu Cijian's side.
Li Chunhua was quite frightened by the large wolfhound. Her neatly combed hair was now a mess, and her makeup was smeared on her face with sweat, making her look rather scary.
Thinking about how she looked just now, she was too ashamed to stay any longer, especially seeing that many people were looking over because of her scream, which made her feel embarrassed. She immediately ran home in anger.
Jiang Yimian then crouched down and waved to the large wolfhound.
The large wolfhound, its previous fierce look gone, glanced at Jiang Yimian, shook its head, and then hesitantly ran over.
Jiang Yimian found it amusing, reached out and ruffled the big wolfhound's fluffy head, and asked curiously, "Where did this wolf come from?"
Although it looks like a dog, you can clearly tell it's a wolf by looking at its teeth.
I don't know where Lu Cijian found a wolf to guard the house in just one day.
Lu Cijian stared at the person playing with the coal ball, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Mimi found it."
He just borrowed it for a while.
Jiang Yimian then understood.
In the past six months, Mimi has grown to the size of an adult tiger, and her massive size is truly intimidating.
The hills near the small depression are where Mimi roams freely. It's estimated that no wild animals dare to cause trouble there, as they all respect Mimi. It's not surprising that they could borrow a wolf.
However, it's rather difficult to find wolves that are so friendly to humans.
After playing with the black ball for a while, Jiang Yimian casually said, "Grandpa wants you to come up for dinner tonight."
Lu Cijian didn't speak, but Jiang Yimian said somewhat awkwardly, "You can stay in Xiaowadi for a while."
Although the house is basically completed, there are still a lot of bricks, tiles and timber piled up in the front and back yards, making it somewhat inconvenient to live here on a daily basis.
She had only refused last time to watch the show, but now that she had seen the show, she suddenly felt a little guilty.
Lu Cijian was unfamiliar with Qingshi Village and only knew them, but she didn't help at all because she wanted to watch the excitement. It was really heartless of her to watch them being surrounded.
Lu Cijian chuckled lightly, expecting the other party to be angry, and after a while, he pretended to think and said, "Is Yi Mian inviting me? Then I'll have to think about it carefully."
Think about how to naturally live with Yi Mian and the others, not just temporarily, but permanently.
Jiang Yimian was speechless for a moment, but looking at that handsome smiling face, she casually said, "Yes, yes, yes, I'm inviting you."
She reluctantly agreed, thinking the other person was pleasing to the eye.
Unexpectedly, Lu Cijian frowned and shook his head, "Oh, then I can't go."
Jiang Yimian was full of questions, but seeing the seriousness in the other person's words, she didn't insist and said, "Go if you want, but bring Gousheng and the others up the mountain tonight."
After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.
Lu Cijian: ...
How is this different from the "playing hard to get" technique described in books? He wanted to know.
After leaving Lu Cijian's house, Jiang Yimian wanted to check on Gousheng and Xiaoye.
Because going up and down the mountain at noon would be a waste of time and tiring, the younger children had lunch at Zhang Xiucai's house.
Jiang Yimian would also give Zhang Xiucai more food.
The younger children were also very sensible and would often help Zhang Xiucai cook, so much so that they looked like a family.
In the past, Zhang Xiucai would never have agreed, but after yesterday's conversation, he accepted it readily.
