Chapter 147 Giving someone face but not daring to retaliate
"If Grandmother thinks it's delicious, just reward the cook."
Liu Wenshu himself couldn't bear to eat any of it, so he sent it all over.
"Where did you get this dish from?"
Although Madam Liu felt full, she still felt a little unsatisfied.
Judging by how fresh it is, it must have been picked right away.
"It was a gift from a friend. I knew Grandma would like it, so I gave it all to her." Liu Wenshu smiled. "Grandma, please rest well. If you receive a gift next time, I'll bring it to you."
After Liu Wenshu left, Old Madam Liu remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Go and find out where Wenshu went after he returned."
"Madam, you mean..."
Madam Liu sighed. "Go ahead and investigate. Everyone has been young once, and this makes me think a lot."
...
...
After a half-day break, the old man went back to school the next day.
I thought the matter was over, but just before dinner, the adults from both families brought their children to our door to cause trouble.
"Mr. Ke, come out!"
Both students were from the next village; one was named Chuanzong, and the other Youfu.
Chuanzong's parents were furious. "Mr. Ke, we entrusted our child to you, and this is how you raise him? Look at what our Chuanzong has become! You must give me an explanation for what happened yesterday!"
"And look at my Youfu! His face is all rotten! My darling!"
The two argued loudly at the school gate. When Ye Wan heard the commotion and came over, the group even tried to attack the coughing old man.
"This... the two children started fighting on their own, and I've already spoken to them about it at school..."
"You think you can just let it go with a casual remark, Mr. Ke? We entrusted our child to you because we trusted you, and you're being incredibly irresponsible! I don't care how badly my child is injured, you have to give us an explanation!"
These people completely ignored the old man's explanation and even pushed him in the chaos.
Fortunately, Ye Wan and the silly girl caught him in time, otherwise the old man would have fallen.
Ye Wan looked at the two children. They didn't seem to have any major problems, just some bruises on their faces. She said loudly, "Your children aren't babies anymore. They're eight years old, aren't they? If they don't want to go to school, you can take them back."
"Madam Ye, you can't say that! This school isn't yours! We all paid tuition, and the child is injured like this. Are we wrong to demand an explanation?"
People from several nearby villages all knew Ye Niangzi, and when they heard her say that, Chuanzong's mother was the first to be unhappy.
"My father is the one who opened the school, so what I say goes. If you don't want to study, get out! Your tuition fees are refunded!"
"Silly girl, throw him out!"
Ye Wan didn't bother with any more words. As soon as she finished speaking, the silly girl picked up the group and stuck them directly into a mud pit not far away.
"If you want to go, go; if you don't want to go, get out. Anyone who dares to complain will be thrown into the latrine."
"You... shrew!"
The men turned red with anger and dared not say anything more. The silly girl stood there, stronger than the two men, and grabbing them was as easy as lifting chickens.
"Thank you for the compliment. You can take your two families' ancestors home now!"
After Ye Wan finished speaking, she took the coughing old man home and continued to have a holiday today.
"Little sister, you're so amazing. What if your brother-in-law finds out and doesn't like you anymore?"
Ye Hua, after hearing what was said today, felt that her younger sister was becoming more and more amazing.
This shrew's reputation... has already spread.
"Whatever he likes to do, you haven't seen Lin Anyuan's mouth, it's truly venomous."
After Ye Wan finished speaking, she ran into the house.
"It's so hot today, all dressed up, all dressed up, do you want some cold noodles?"
"Well, here we go again." Er Ya couldn't help but rub her arms when she heard this. "I've figured it out. Mother only likes pretty women."
Sanya's round eyes darted around. "Second sister, you just realized that? You're so dense!"
Er Ya jumped up and down, "San Ya, are you deliberately going against me now? I'm your second sister!"
"I know, and Xiao Hei knows too."
"Ugh! Get rid of this disgusting bug!"
The two were running around the room when Ye Wan couldn't help but yell, "Both of you shut up! Get out!"
Er Ya and San Ya ran away in a hurry.
Daya came in carrying a bowl. "Mom, I made rock sugar and white fungus porridge. Please try it."
Ye Wan looked at the graceful and gentle Daya and was overjoyed. "My Daya is such a thoughtful and good daughter. I am so lucky. I can look forward to taking care of her in my old age."
Daya blushed slightly at the compliment.
Daya is so composed; she doesn't seem like a twelve-year-old at all.
"Sister Suyi, you should try some too." Ye Wan blew on the white fungus porridge and then offered it to Suyi.
"Sister?" Su Yi rarely showed a surprised expression.
"Yes, you are so young and beautiful. Isn't this my sister? My long-lost sister."
Ye Wan felt that she could never get enough of looking at such a beauty.
With just a smile, she seems to want people to offer her anything.
"Sister Suyi, have a sip, I'll be happy if you have a sip." Ye Wan coaxed Suyi to drink the porridge.
Aunt Cai rubbed the goosebumps on her arms. "I really can't stand it."
Huigu also had a lot to say.
...
...
"Did you bring back the person I asked you to bring?"
King Jing wiped his longsword and looked at the travel-worn Lin Anyuan.
Before Lin Anyuan arrived, he had just stabbed two people, and there was still blood on his sword. Both of them were local corrupt officials who had committed all sorts of evil deeds.
"I brought it back." Lin Anyuan touched his chest.
"Haha, good, indeed you are my capable subordinate." King Jing asked Lin Anyuan to sit down and speak.
"An Yuan, I have an adopted daughter who is sixteen years old. How about I betroth her to you?"
Lin Anyuan stood up and cupped his hands in greeting. "It's nothing, my lord. My wife is waiting for me to return home."
King Jing wasn't angry at all; instead, he laughed, "Hahaha, you're so honest. This is a good thing that many people would kill for, after all, I'm marrying my own daughter."
"I already have a virtuous wife, thank you for your kindness, my lord," Lin Anyuan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Your wife is a good cook," King Jing remarked, recalling the beef jerky from before. "Once we take over the neighboring county, you can bring your wife and children to reunite with you."
Then he'll have beef jerky to eat.
Lin Anyuan showered the Prince with flattery, making him very happy. The Prince bestowed upon him a great deal of gold and silver and sent him back to rest.
"Sir, what did Lord Lin say?"
Madam Qing only came out after everyone had left.
"What can I say? I refused." King Jing continued to wipe his precious sword.
The sword was inlaid with many jewels, making it sparkle.
"What? He refused?" Madam Qing's face changed drastically. "What's wrong with my daughter that he actually refused her?! This is simply..."
They don't appreciate kindness.
