I thought I would be scolded, but...

The three people outside the door actually started cursing at each other.

Aunt Fang didn't treat Li Tian very well, and she didn't treat the two people outside the door very well either.

He cursed Li Tian's mother as a whore who couldn't stand loneliness. She found a new husband just two years after her ex-husband died, and she was like a brothel owner trying to find a matchmaker for her daughter.

He scolded Li Tian's uncle for being a shameless person who even had his niece in his mind, and said that he was a toad wanting to eat swan meat without considering whether his crotch was as high as the swan's when he jumped.

The scolding became more and more eloquent. The two people outside the door couldn't get a word in. Their voices were even lower than others'. Their voices were shaking. They felt helpless.

Hearing this, Auntie Fang's usual attitude towards Li Tian could actually be considered polite...

The three people in the courtyard: ...

A Yuan scratched his head: "That's not right? Didn't she dislike Sister Li last time and sided with them?"

Xingzi: "Yeah, what's going on?"

Li Tian stood stupidly between the two of them:

"Yeah, what's going on?!"

Could it be that Aunt Fang discovered that Sister Li was a poor little thing, so she changed her mind?

Li Tian leaned against the door and watched the two people leave. She opened the door a little, and stuck her head out with the two children. She looked around and said hesitantly:

"Fang, Fang, Aunt Fang..."

Before she could finish her words, Aunt Fang scolded her without any hesitation:

"Get lost, who is your aunt? What were you howling about just now? It was so unlucky!

There are two little guys who are imitating me..."

Aunt Fang scolded the three of them again. The scolding was a little nicer than what she had just given to the two people, but the three of them still couldn't talk back.

Those two shameless guys just now couldn't deal with her, so the three of them were even more helpless.

Besides, the other party helped them whether it was intentional or not. It was they who helped find the house where Yuan and the others lived, so it was not easy to retort.

The three of them were scolded until they were dejected, tears in their eyes, and they hid behind the door, sticking their three little heads out, not daring to make a sound.

When Aunt Fang got tired of scolding and had satisfied herself, she raised her head and, like a victorious old hen, snorted and went back with her head raised.

Yuan paused, "Actually...she just likes to curse people, right?"

Kyoko wiped her eyes: "It looks like it."

Li Tian: "Can I still be well?"

Yuan and Xingzi held her hands sympathetically:

What kind of people are around Sister Li?

Afraid that the two would come back, Li Tian hurriedly packed snacks for them.

A Yuan was still stubborn and wanted to give her yesterday's money, so Li Tian accepted it. However, when sending them out, she still asked:

"You didn't take that shameless guy's words to heart, did you? We are friends, you will come again in the future, right?"

A Yuan nodded: "Of course, we will come tomorrow morning! We will bring grandpa with us. If they come again, I will ask grandpa to beat them up!"

Xingzi secretly took out a piece of dessert and nibbled on it, mumbling:

"I don't care about them. We don't take those words to heart until you say them."

Li Tian laughed:

"I wouldn't say that. Besides, it's not like I didn't make any money. Go back now and don't make Grandpa Fu wait anxiously."

Yuan and the other two said goodbye to her and left.

After waiting for a long time at the agreed intersection, Lao Futou finally arrived.

It's obvious that you've talked too much.

If it weren’t for Aunt Fang, they wouldn’t know how long they would have been stuck!

Yuan and Xingzi were both a little angry with him.

The old man met the eyes of his two granddaughters and smiled guiltily: "Well, I met the adults of the two students' families, so I chatted with them for a while..."

"Why do you only know how to chat? You don't even know what happened!" A Yuan cried again in grievance.

Xingzi also cried and talked. The two children described Li Tian's second uncle and mother as door-blocking monsters that Lao Futou had never heard of.

From the words they said, it sounded as if they would be eaten as soon as they opened the door.

Lao Futou tried hard to piece together what was going on from the feelings they described, then thought for a while and said casually:

"Then I'll go with you guys next time, so you don't get stuck inside."

Yuan nodded: "That's fine."

After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no more news and that the old man was walking further and further away, Yuan and Xingzi hurriedly chased after him and asked in shock:

"Is it over? Just go with us and it's over?"

Old Futou was even more shocked than she was:

"What else? Are you really going to let me beat him up?

It's not that easy to intervene in other people's family affairs. If you help her now and they make up in the future, who knows if she will blame you. They are a family after all!"

Old Futou said, thinking for a moment:

"If it really doesn't work, don't go there anymore. What my mother and second uncle said is right. We are more or less getting the upper hand.

Although the girl did earn some money, it was not much.

There's still money coming into the family, so don't get yourself into trouble just to make that little money.

If you still want to be friends, I can send you over to play for a day from time to time, and then pick you up after school when Niu Wa and the others get off."

"We can stop selling snacks, but what about Sister Li?" A Yuan looked up at his grandfather in confusion.

Lao Futou: "How would I know? Our family can't do anything about this. Besides, we can't even figure out our own affairs, so how can we manage other people's affairs?"

Seeing that the expressions of the two granddaughters were frozen, the old man could only say:

"She has a good relationship with our family. If we meet her, we will definitely help her. If we don't, forget it. At most, when she gets married, our family will give her a generous gift in private.

What else can I do? Okay, okay, don't think about it. There are some things that outsiders can't control. You will understand when you grow up."

Old Futou took the basket and carried it, driving his two slightly dumb granddaughters forward.

There was not a word of what was said that Yuan and Xingzi liked to hear.

The two children were in a bad mood. When Yuan was resting, he went to the kitchen of Tang's Wine Shop to talk to his mother about this, but his mother said she couldn't do anything about it.

They were listless all day long, and Lao Futou didn't urge them, but sold the goods by himself. However, the result of selling alone was obviously not as good as before, and there was still a lot left when she went back home in the evening.

When he got home, Yuan felt even worse when he saw that his father and uncle were not back. He even lost his appetite.

Xingzi was more open-minded than her. After asking around, no one knew how to help Sister Li. Knowing there was no hope, she took Niu Wa out to play.

However, Yuan kept thinking about it until it was time to go to bed at night. Even after he lay down on the bed, he still put on his clothes and ran to the outside of his grandparents' room and knocked on the window.

"Who is it?" asked old Mrs. Yang.

A Yuan: "Grandma, is Grandpa asleep?"

"He's such a lazy guy, why is he still awake at this hour? What's the matter?"

Old Madam Yang opened the window, and A Yuan leaned half of his body in, patting Old Futou's feet and calling out:

"Grandpa, wake up. I think we still have to sell the dim sum. Sister Li will be sad if we don't go. Besides, we have to go and see if she's okay. We won't sell it until this is over!"

The old man who was not woken up by Yuan's slap was kicked awake by his wife:

"We have to go tomorrow anyway, why don't you talk about it tomorrow?"

Yuan: "If I don't say I can't sleep, do you agree?"

Lao Futou propped up his head and asked her, "Will you leave if I don't agree?"

Yuan tiptoed and tried to crawl in:

"Then I won't leave. I have to have a good chat with you!"

The old man was almost annoyed: "Alright, alright, I agree, just leave! You guys have ruined my good sleep! I can't continue my dream anymore."

Yuan asked curiously, "What was the dream?"

Old Fu Touteng sat up, pressed her head and pushed her out, slammed the window shut, and said angrily:

"I won't tell you!"

Yuan wiped the dust off his nose and muttered, "Stingy! I don't want to hear it!"

Old Futou became even angrier:

"I didn't want to tell you yet! What kind of kid is this? He's not sleeping at night and comes knocking on the window."

Old Yang didn't care to pay attention to them, but she still asked out of curiosity:

"What did you dream about?"

Old Futou was reluctant to share his dream, but just as he opened his mouth:

"It's over! Forgot it!

You guys did it for me! I haven’t even finished it yet!”

Old Yang lay down, covered herself with the quilt, and said nonchalantly, "It's time to go to sleep!"

Old Futou: ...Is there anyone in this family who cares about me, a hard-working old man who works hard every day and gets up early but never gets a good rest?
