"Wife, eat quickly. After you finish eating, go to the front and see what happened?" said Yun the butcher.
"Okay, I'll finish eating soon." Zhang said.
Butcher Yun and Zhang both quickened their eating pace. After five or six minutes, they both finished their meal.
"Boss, take your younger brothers and sisters to bed after dinner. Don't sneak to the front to watch the fun, do you hear me?" Yun the butcher said seriously.
"I understand, Dad." Brother Yun replied.
"Boss, I'm going to go check out the front first. You feed our hens first and then go back."
"Boss, after you finish your meal, put the dishes on the table and wait for mom to come back to wash them." Zhang gave hurried instructions and walked towards the place where the quarrel was happening.
Butcher Yun put down his bowl and chopsticks and went to check on the hen. She had already devoured all the cabbage leaves and the handful of cornmeal he'd grabbed earlier. Butcher Yun watched as the hen drank half a bowl of water, then he tied her beak back up. As the hen moved, Butcher Yun spotted an egg on the ground. Haha, not bad, another egg he'd found today.
Butcher Yun placed the eggs in the egg basket on the donkey cart. He glanced at the basket containing the hens. It was a bit dirty with weeds, so he threw the dirty weeds away. He plucked a few handfuls of weeds from the top of the donkey cart and put them in the basket, then added the hens. As usual, he put the basket on top of the donkey cart first.
Then, Butcher Yun went to check on the donkey. He found it had finished the hay in the basket, so he added half a basket more. He then brought the water he'd used to wash the pot to feed the donkey. After doing this, he washed his hands and headed back to where the argument had been going on.
"Brother, why did they fight just now?" Yun Yiyi asked curiously.
"I don't know about that, but it sounds like a pretty loud noise. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat quickly and then go to bed." Brother Yun urged.
"Yiyi, do you still remember the three children who came to our house in the donkey cart before? Among them was a little girl named Yun Duo. I seemed to hear her grandmother cursing just now." Brother Yun said.
"Third brother, I didn't expect you to be so gossipy. Okay, you can even hear this. I didn't hear it at all." Yun Yiyi said teasingly.
"Hey, Yiyi, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Look at yourself. You either play with the three of us brothers or play with a bunch of boys. Your personality is even wilder than boys. Anyway, I haven't seen you playing with the girls in the village." Third Brother Yun fought back.
"Third brother, what's wrong with my wild temper? She is your sister after all. If you are not convinced, let's have a fight. Besides, how can you talk about your sister like that?" Yun Yiyi said angrily.
"Third brother, this is where you're wrong. As a brother, how can you say that about your sister? Apologize to Yiyi quickly!" Big Brother Yun scolded.
"Third brother, what you said today was a bit too much." Second Brother Yun also continued.
"What's wrong with me? She was the one who said that to me first. Besides, I wasn't wrong. Ask her if she has ever played with other girls of the same age in the village?" Third Brother Yun said unconvinced.
"It's because they are always crying. Who has the patience to play with them? And they are always divided into groups. It's so troublesome." Yun Yiyi said unhappily.
Yun Yiyi reviewed her memories of little Yiyi. When she was little, everyone would rush to play with her when she went out to play. Later, when she was older, the boys in the village preferred to play with the chubby, cute Yiyi. The girls her age in the village would ostracize her, and after so many times, little Yiyi no longer wanted to play with them.
"Brother, second brother, look, third brother is bullying me." Yun Yiyi complained hurriedly.
When Brother Yun San heard this, he was unwilling to do so.
"Big brother, second brother, you two can't be partial."
Big Brother Yun and Second Brother Yun exchanged a look, both feeling rather helpless. Both were the family's go-to guys, neither of them easy to mess with. However, once they faced off against Yun Yiyi, the outcome was obvious.
"Third brother, you are the older brother, so you should act like an older brother. Besides, Yiyi looks like a girl at all. Yiyi was so cute when she was little, it's just that she is tanned now, otherwise she would have looked even better." As the eldest brother Yun spoke, he winked at the second brother Yun.
After seeing this, Second Brother Yun got up and went to look for Zhang.
Yun Yiyi and Third Brother Yun glanced at Second Brother Yun who was leaving, and continued to stare at Eldest Brother Yun.
"Yiyi, brother, am I right?" Brother Yun looked at Yun Yiyi gently.
"Yes, big brother. You love me the most. Humph, I'm not like some people." After saying this, Yun Yiyi gave Third Brother Yun a sidelong glance.
"Why are you bullying me? I didn't say anything wrong. If you don't gossip about me, how can I gossip about you?" Brother Yun San said angrily.
"Third brother, calm down. Have you forgotten that when Yiyi was little, you loved hugging her the most. I remember back then, you praised her as the most beautiful and lovely girl in the world."
"Hmph, that was when we were little, not now." Third Brother Yun also became angry.
Brother Yun looked at the two cross-eyed people and felt a headache. Why hasn't Mom come back yet? These two kids are so difficult to deal with. Brother Yun was so anxious that he was about to cry.
As for Zhang, she arrived at the scene of the quarrel and found a group of people gathered. She squeezed to the front and saw the village head's wife, Li, and secretly pulled Li's sleeve.
"Sister Li, what happened? Why are you still making a fuss?" Zhang looked at Grandma Guo who was sitting on the ground crying, and Wang who was standing next to her and crying. Yunpeng, a grown man, squatted there without saying a word.
"Oh, this Grandma Guo is really confused. It's because Yun the Butcher and his men came into the city some time ago and replenished everyone with food and other supplies. Yunpeng's family also replenished a lot of food and other things. In theory, there are three adults and three children in their family, and the food they bought is enough for them to eat for a long time." Li sighed when she said this.
"Who knew that every time Granny Guo cooked, she would put very little food in, which resulted in neither the adults nor the children being full. Therefore, Yunpeng's wife suggested several times that she cook, but Yunpeng and Granny Guo disagreed. That would have been fine, but the problem was that Granny Guo secretly cooked for the two boys at night."
"At lunch today, Yun noticed the two boys didn't eat much, so she asked them if they were feeling unwell. The two children hesitantly said they ate too much last night. Yun thought for a moment, and realized that they had eaten together last night, and the two children didn't eat much either, so it's impossible for them to be full."
"Later, she realized that it was her mother-in-law who was secretly giving special treatment to the two boys. There were only three children in the family, and Grandma Guo was so partial, so Yun was angry."
