Several children were in the main house. The eldest girl was making dolls, the second and third girls were playing with twill ropes, and Ah Man was playing with the fur ball that was bringing fortune to the eldest girl.
Meixiang came in and placed the tea tray on the table. She then handed the cup of tea that had been poured for Ding Youtian to Ah Man. Ah Man took a sip from her hand and shook her head, indicating that she didn't want any more. She tilted her head back and drank the rest herself.
"I want to drink too, Sister Meixiang, I want to drink water." Erniu shouted.
"If you want to drink, pour it yourself." Meixiang was not responsible for serving her.
"I'll pour it for you." Ah Man remembered that Jian Ning had told her that children should be united and friendly and help each other. Before, the eldest girl helped her put on her shoes, and the second and third girls also helped pass on the shoes.
"Oh, my little ancestor, please don't break the cup. She doesn't deserve you to pour tea for her. Let me do it." Meixiang quickly poured half a cup of tea and handed it to Erniu with a slanted look. "Drink it. Seeing others poop makes your asshole itchy. You have to join in the fun no matter what others do."
The eldest girl turned her head and glanced at Meixiang. Mrs. Meng also liked to use this phrase to describe them. She instinctively knew that those who used it were not kind people. However, she thought that Meixiang would not live with them for long, so she frowned and said nothing.
Erniu took the cup and, as expected, only drank two sips before pouring the rest away. Sanniu shouted, "Don't pour it out. Let me drink it."
Sanniu drank the rest and got out of bed to return the cup. Erniu remembered and asked Meixiang, "Why do you say I'm not worthy of her pouring tea for me? My mother said that everyone is equal!"
Meixiang had never heard of this. She poked Erniu's forehead and said, "I said she's not worthy. Ah Man's grandfather is the Imperial Tutor. Do you know what an Imperial Tutor is? He teaches the Crown Prince, who will be the Emperor of our Dayan Kingdom in the future! Ah Man's father is a first-class guard. What are your father and mother?"
"My father is Ding Youtian, and my mother is Jian Xiu'gu." Sanniu said loudly.
The big girl laughed. Although she didn't know what the Taifu and the guards were, she knew that the emperor was very powerful. The Jade Emperor in Journey to the West that her mother talked about was the emperor in heaven, and the emperor on earth was far away in a place called the capital. She had always heard Meng mention it before.
Meng always wanted to become a lady of imperial decree, and she always prayed to the Bodhisattva worshipped at home to bless Ding Gui and Ding Quan to pass the imperial examination as soon as possible, so that the emperor in the capital would grant her an imperial decree.
Da Niu laughed, and Meixiang laughed too. She laughed at Ding Youtian's name. She didn't expect that such a handsome guy would have such a rustic name.
When the two of them laughed, the younger ones who didn't understand what was going on also laughed. Ah Man originally wanted to ask Meixiang, but she felt that Meixiang's words were strange today. Seeing that they were all laughing, she forgot to ask. She not only laughed along with them, but also laughed the loudest.
"What's so funny about these girls?" Chang glanced towards the main house.
"That little vixen has gone in. Maybe she'll say something nice to trick them. Bah!" Tian spat, then whispered to Chang that Meixiang was thinking about Ding Youtian.
"Bah!" Mrs. Chang spat after hearing this. "People from outside are just full of tricks. If she dares to have any evil intentions, I'll tear her apart alive!"
Tian was about to respond when she suddenly screamed "Ah" and was so startled that she almost fell to the ground. She pointed in the direction of the storage room, her legs went weak, her upper teeth chattered and her lower teeth chattered, but she couldn't utter a word.
"What's wrong with you?" Chang said as she looked in the direction she was looking. She also screamed in fright, and the fire stick in her hand fell to the ground in shock.
Brother Qiu crawled out from the storage room and looked at the two of them with an innocent face. Guoguo jumped off the chair, bared his teeth at Brother Qiu and waved his two front paws to drive him away.
Guoguo is a guy who is very good at taking advantage of others. Earlier, after Jian Ning finished practicing, he ordered Brother Qiu to go to the utility room and not stay in the yard during the day to scare people.
Everything has its own spirit. Qiu Ge can't stay in the yard, but Guo Guo can. Invisibly, Guo Guo feels that he is more favored by his master. Seeing Qiu Ge dare to come out without permission, Guo Guo puts on the momentum of a pet cat and drives Qiu Ge away. If Jian Ning is in front of him, he will pounce on him without hesitation and punch and kick him to show Qiu Ge how powerful he is.
Hearing the commotion in the yard, Meixiang came out first. When she saw Tian, she rolled her eyes in disdain at her and pointed at her and ordered Qiu Ge, "Bite her!"
"Sister Meixiang!" The four little girls also came out. Ah Man glared at Meixiang, "Why did you let Brother Qiu bite people? I don't like you anymore."
"Oh, how can I control it? This is just a joke. It won't listen to me. I'm just joking with my sister-in-law." Meixiang was shocked when she heard Ah Man say that he didn't like her anymore. It was all the fault of those two country women who were making a fuss out of nothing. She secretly glared at them both.
"Aunt Tian, Aunt Chang, don't be afraid, Brother Qiu won't bite anyone." Sanniu said as she followed A'man and ran towards Brother Qiu.
"A'man, let it go back to the storage room. My mother doesn't let it play in the yard during the day. Others will be scared if they see it." said the big girl.
"Okay, I'll tell it." She had asked about Brother Qiu when Da Niu helped Ah Man put on his shoes. She already knew that Jian Ning didn't let him out during the day, so she readily coaxed Brother Qiu to go to the utility room.
"Let's stay here and play with Brother Qiu for a while." Sanniu saw how pitiful Brother Qiu looked, staring at them eagerly. He must have been unable to hold back and came out just now because he heard them laughing.
"Oh my God!" In the yard, Chang patted her chest, her heart still pounding. "Why is this whole long worm back again? It's so strange. These things are so human-like. Why do they all listen to Sister Jian's orders?"
Last night, Tian and Ma Xiaomai went to the village entrance to wait for Ma Fuquan. Ma Xiaomai told her about her experience and how her father and Jian Ning fought side by side, but she did not mention that they came back first riding Qiu Ge, for fear of scaring her mother, so Tian did not know about Qiu Ge's existence.
"If she can lead our two families to a better life, how could she be just an ordinary person? I've always wondered how she could be so strong. Maybe her father is also a bodyguard like my second brother and knows martial arts!"
The more Tian thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. Otherwise, how could Jian Ning be as good at martial arts as her husband and so brave? A woman dared to break into the bad guys' den to save her son. She thought about waiting for Jian Ning to come back and ask her.
In the valley behind the mountain, Jian Ning looked at the hillside where Ma Fuquan stood with his horse yesterday. The scene of him saluting emerged in his mind, and the shock he felt when he first saw him yesterday lingered in his heart again.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, and the image of Ma Fuquan in ancient costume in her mind suddenly turned into Wu Yanxu in military uniform. The two appeared in her mind alternately, and gradually merged into one.
In fact, if they took off their ancient costumes, Ma Fuquan and Wu Dui would look very similar. She didn't know what she was struggling with. Wu Dui was unmarried and traveled through time to replace Ma Fuquan. He is now Tian's man. He did nothing wrong. Why should she be angry with him?
