Chapter 143 Sister-in-law, Don’t Eat My Buns
Seeing his silly look, Zhang Xiuer cursed in her heart. She didn't know if this kid was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. Didn't he know how to give in to her?
But she didn't show it on her face. She grinned and said, "Cheng Yong, I, your sister-in-law, came here to bring you something in the middle of the day and didn't even have time to eat."
"Oh," Li Chengyong responded, "Then go home and cook."
Zhang Xiuer: ...
She glared at Li Chengyong angrily and said, "How can you be so heartless? Can't you just let me have a bun?"
Li Chengyong glanced at Zhao Zhilan and saw that there was no expression on her face and she didn't say anything.
"Zhao, Aunt Zhao didn't even let you..."
What he meant was that he was in someone else's house and the host didn't give way, so how could he take the initiative and give way?
"You're just an idiot!"
Zhang Xiuer poked him on the forehead with her hand, and while speaking, she reached out to the table and grabbed the white, greasy meat bun.
Wang Cailian's eyes widened as she stared at Zhang Xiuer's black hands.
If this shameless woman really dared to take it, she would definitely rush up and fight with her.
But just as Zhang Xiuer's fingertips were about to touch the bun, a pair of chopsticks hit her.
"Hiss, ouch!"
Zhang Xiuer screamed in pain, and a red mark immediately appeared on the back of her hand. She was so angry that she opened her mouth to curse.
"Who is so blind..."
Before he could finish his curse, Wu Ergou next to him glared at him coldly and he fell silent.
She is not afraid of others, but she dare not provoke Wu Ergou.
This brat, if you mess with him today, you might find your firewood pile on fire the next morning, and even your house might be burned down.
"You...what are you doing?" Zhang Xiuer swallowed and spoke softly.
Wu Ergou turned his gaze back, eating a bun in his mouth without raising his head: "The Yun family's meat buns are for us who work. If you want to eat, come and help with the work."
"I don't want to eat it either," Zhang Xiu'er said with a face full of anger, "I just want to try one."
"Besides, you each have a certain number of pies to eat, right? What's wrong with me trying my Cheng Yong's?!"
As soon as she said this, she felt that it made sense, and she looked at Wu Ergou with a bit more confidence.
Hey, what's it to you if I eat my brother-in-law's share? Why are you meddling in my business?
Unexpectedly, Li Chengyong, who was eating quietly next to him, reached out and grabbed another bun, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it from him.
"Sister-in-law, thank you for coming all the way here to give me the pickle jar, but please don't eat my buns. Five of them are just enough for me."
Zhang Xiuer: ...
Before she could retract her smug expression, it froze on her face.
Wang Cailian was almost laughing. Li Chengyong was a simple and honest man. Zhang Xiuer had hit a snag when she met him.
"Zhang Xiuer, if you have nothing else to do, please leave quickly and don't delay our meal." Zhao Zhilan, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
She didn't say anything just now because she wanted to see what this person wanted to do by suddenly running to Li Chengyong's house to give him a jar of pickles. He made such a fuss just to get a free meal.
She is really as shameless as the one from the Chen family in the backyard. I wonder who has thicker skin if we compare them together.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll leave now." Zhang Xiuer smiled at Zhao Zhilan, rolled her eyes at Li Chengyong, and then left staggeringly.
When passing by Yang Daguang, he muttered angrily: "What? He can bring his son over to eat for free? I just want to try one. It's too unkind!"
"My son is only three years old. How dare you compare yourself with him?" Yang Daguang heard it and couldn't help but say.
"And Aunt Dongmei even brought us some dried meat!" Baoya, who was sitting on a small stool nearby, said in a clear voice, "What delicious food did Aunt Zhang bring us?"
Zhang Xiuer choked up, her face flushed, and she quickly walked out with the basket: "Well, you guys eat, I'm leaving first."
"Continue eating, and take a break so you can have energy to work in the afternoon." Zhao Zhilan greeted those who were stretching their heads to watch the fun.
Everyone continued to eat. Zhang Xiuer's coming over was like a small splash of water, which fell into the sea and disappeared in an instant.
After having lunch, Baoya and the children Yun Chenglu, Yunhua and Yunyue went back to take a nap as usual, as they had to go to Huya Mountain in the afternoon.
After waking up from a nap, Yun Chenglu took Baoya to Huya Mountain.
If he chops another fifty bundles of firewood today, he should have the number that Nan Xuan mentioned, and he can officially become his disciple.
Before leaving, Baoya pointed to the firewood piled in her own woodshed and said to Yun Chenglu, "Second brother, you can carry a few bundles over, so you won't have to chop less today."
The Yun family's woodshed was now filled with the elm firewood that Yun Chenglu had chopped that night. Yun Chenglu thought about it and felt that what Baoya said made sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay!"
So, the two men each carried ten bundles and went up Huya Mountain in a mighty procession.
Because it was noon, most of the villagers in Feishui Village were still sleeping at home, and no one noticed the abnormal behavior of the two children carrying several bundles of firewood up the mountain.
After entering Tiger Tooth Mountain, Baoya blew the bamboo whistle as usual, and soon Jingzhen appeared with the king.
Baoya was surprised to see Jingzhen and Guwang were both covered in dirt. She asked, "Little Brother Jing, what happened between you and Guwang? Why are you so dirty?"
Jing Zhen brushed off the dirt on his body with a stern face and said, "I was in a hurry and stepped into a pit."
"Pfft," Yun Chenglu next to him couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect that Jing Zhen, who always behaved elegantly, would have such an embarrassing side.
Jing Zhen gritted his teeth and gave Yun Chenglu a cold look: "What are you laughing at?"
Seeing that he was angry, Yun Chenglu quickly shut up.
Baoya stepped forward and carefully patted the dirt off his body with her little hands. She also took his hand and blew on it: "Brother Xiaojing, don't worry. You can walk slowly with me. My second brother and I will wait for you here."
"Yeah," Jingzhen responded, and his fair little face turned red instantly.
He didn't actually fall into the pit because he was walking too fast, but he accidentally stepped on a trap he had set for hunting and fell into it.
But how could he say this reason?
It’s all because of his damn bad luck. Every time he went down the mountain to pick someone up, he stepped into the trap he set!
Baoya helped Jingzhen and Guwang shake off the dirt on their bodies, and the three of them and the wolf went deep into Tiger Tooth Mountain.
Not far from the foot of Tiger Tooth Mountain, Wang Guikang, the young master of the Wang family in the neighboring Heishui Village, was being taken by Zhuangzi to play with Chen Xiaojuan.
Originally, they were playing at the west end of Feishui Village, but when Chen Xiaojuan looked up, she saw Baoya and Yun Chenglu dragging a large bundle of firewood up the mountain from afar, so she coaxed and tricked Wang Guikang into coming over.
Zhuangzi was born as a rickshaw driver, and now he is assigned by Master Wang to be Wang Guikang's bodyguard to protect his safety.
But he was not as smart as Li Ma. Apart from staying by Wang Guikang's side to ensure that nothing happened to him, he basically didn't care about anything else.
Chen Xiaojuan grasped this point and dared to bring Wang Guikang over, and then sent Zhuangzi away with a few words.
At this moment, she looked at Jingzhen standing with the majestic "big white dog" and Baoya, and remembered the last time she was bullied by this beast.
He pulled Wang Guikang's hand and coaxed him, "Young Master, look at their big dog. Isn't it majestic? Don't you want one?"
