Chapter 214 I Really Want to Hit Someone
Sanya ran too fast.
As soon as she ran, all the children scattered.
Before He Rui could even speak, he muttered, "This kid has no manners."
"You think this young man is good-looking, that's why he asked for directions, right?" The old man beside him stroked his beard.
He Rui frowned. "Master, don't talk nonsense. That's not true. I asked him for directions because I thought he was the leader of the children and should know a lot."
Actually, it was a group of children, but this child was the cleanest; the others all looked dirty.
He Rui is a bit of a germaphobe.
"Let's go, let's find a place to stay first." The old man, carrying his bundle, walked in a certain direction.
As people get older, long journeys really become too much for them.
This Ganzhou was quite different from what he had imagined.
"Mother! I'm back!"
Ye Wan is drying books in the yard.
If the moisture control is not done well at this time, the books need to be aired out regularly, otherwise they will smell very bad.
"You're all sweaty from running around. Hurry back to your room, wash up, and change your clothes before you come back, or your second sister will complain about you again."
Ye Wan tossed a handkerchief to Sanya.
"Second Sister is just very clean." Sanya obediently went to wash up.
Er Ya arrived right after I left.
"Mother, can you check if I've calculated this number correctly?" Er Ya showed the account book to Ye Wan.
Er Ya has been learning accounting recently, because she wants to have control over the money in the future, so she is studying very hard.
"Not bad, very talented, learns quite quickly," Ye Wan praised.
"Of course, I am my mother's daughter."
Er Ya was proud for a while.
She had barely left when Da Ya came again.
"Mother, when this batch of grain is ready, should we send it to Father?" Daya was already helping Ye Wan manage matters outside.
Ye Wan delegated all the tasks she could to Daya, allowing herself to enjoy some leisure time.
"Send it." Ye Wan sat in the rocking chair.
The sun was blazing, and she wanted to send some heatstroke prevention medicine over.
Er Ya came out again not long after.
"Mom, tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. It must be very lively outside. Let's go out and join in the fun." The voice arrived before the person even arrived.
Sanya also came out after getting ready, but she was still dressed in men's clothing, looking like a clean-cut tomboy.
According to her, dressing as a man was convenient, but her family knew that she wanted to protect Ye Wan.
Once you're outside, fewer people will try to take advantage of you if they see there are men in your household.
"What kind of excitement is there outside during the Dragon Boat Festival? I've never heard of any excitement before."
I've been here for so long, but I've never celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival.
"Oh dear, it wasn't lively before, but now someone's taking the lead, and I heard there's even a Cuju (ancient Chinese football) competition."
"The one leading the way is the princess."
Er Ya's tone carried a hint of envy. "The princess is the daughter of Prince Jing, a true noble lady."
"Okay, if you say we'll go, then we'll go." Ye Wan hadn't been out for a while anyway, and she also wanted to go out for a walk to clear her head.
"Madam, the master has sent a message."
Huigu came in from outside.
Ye Wan took the letter and went back to her room.
Seeing this, Er Ya asked, "Guess what Dad wrote in his letter?"
Da Ya said, "It should be to report that you are safe."
Sanya said, "We definitely need food."
Er Ya lowered her voice, "You're all wrong. I secretly saw it once, and Dad wrote all sorts of cheesy things in his letters..."
"Second Miss."
Hui Gu's voice rang out from behind.
Er Ya immediately fawned, "Auntie, I was wrong, please don't punish me by making me copy books anymore."
“Copying books can cultivate one’s character, but the second young lady is too impatient.”
Er Ya let out a wail and went to copy the book.
...
...
It was almost noon when I got ready to leave the next day.
There are a lot of people outside today.
"My dear sister, are you really going to dress like this to go out and play today?"
Er Ya saw that San Ya was dressed in men's clothing again and spoke up with disdain.
She loves to look pretty and dress up, and can't stand seeing Sanya being so unkempt.
Sanya said in a serious tone, "Precisely because we're going out to play today, we need to dress like this. The older sisters are responsible for looking beautiful, and I'm responsible for protecting them."
As soon as she came out, Er Ya smiled and said, "You have such a sweet tongue, here's a piece of candy for you."
Ye Wan suddenly spoke up, "A whole jar of candy disappeared last night. If you want cavities and a mouth full of rotten teeth, eat more candy."
Er Ya's expression changed, and she pulled San Ya aside and whispered, "Did you steal the candy? I was wondering why you were so kind as to share half with me. It turns out Mother didn't know."
"Second sister, you're the best." Sanya chuckled.
Er Ya glared at her and said to Ye Wan, "Mother, I will never steal candy again."
The sisters had a deep bond and took the blame for each other; even though Ye Wan knew, she pretended not to know.
It's not particularly hot today, and the air is very fresh.
Ye Wan was in a good mood and found a place to sit down near the football match.
Who says people at this time don't know how to make money? They set up tea stalls and various food vendors very early on.
"This scenery is really nice. I'll sit here for a while. You guys have fun, but don't go too far."
"Okay, Mom, we'll buy you some delicious food."
Sanya immediately dragged her two older sisters to buy food.
A gentle breeze was blowing, and Ye Wan looked at the field not far away, where two groups of people were already bowing to each other.
One of the men was quite good-looking.
Ye Wan sipped her tea and admired the view.
Not long after, Daya returned.
"Mother, Sanya has gotten into a fight with someone!"
"What happened?"
Ye Wan frowned.
When they arrived, a serious-looking boy of about ten years old was holding onto Sanya's arm tightly.
"You little brat, why are you learning to steal at such a young age? You don't look like you're so poor you can't afford to eat, so why did you steal my purse?!"
Sanya huffed, "I'll say it again, I didn't steal it! Can't you understand human language?!"
"You're the one who bumped into me just now. Who else could it be but you? Hand over your money bag right now."
Er Ya, furious, was about to shove someone, shouting, "How dare you frame me!"
Huigu arrived just in time to stop it.
"Young master, let's talk this out." Ye Wan sized up the boy.
She looks like she was raised in luxury, she has a certain status.
"Who are you?" He Rui asked Ye Wan.
Ye Wan said, "I am her mother. You say my child stole your purse, please provide evidence."
"Your child stole my purse and you want me to produce evidence?" He Rui's eyes widened.
"No wonder this kid is so unreasonable, turns out he has an unreasonable mother!"
"I was just walking along the street when he bumped into me, and my purse was gone. How dare he say he didn't steal it?!"
"You don't look like thieves, how could you do such a thing? Quickly hand over my money bag!"
He Rui looked serious.
"I already said I didn't steal it. Who knows when you lost it? You're blaming me for it. How can you be so unreasonable?" Sanya clenched her fists in anger.
I'm so angry.
I really want to hit someone.
