Chapter 131 Your Good Days Are All Thanks to My Young Master
Everyone in the village knows that Li Jia Dalang is quite skilled; he once single-handedly hunted a wild boar weighing over 400 jin (approximately 200 kg), and no one dares to mess with him. Afu had previously interacted with him because of buying Jiang Pangya, but Li Jia Dalang ignored him. What's with the aloofness?
He's just a peasant, what makes him think he's some kind of rich young master?
Seeing him like this now, he secretly felt relieved. His eyes were full of laughter.
"Hey, you good-for-nothing, kids don't know any better, I won't bother with them. Give me that plate of ribs. If I enjoy it, I'll naturally help you out in the future. Otherwise, hehe."
Ah Fu sneered, but his gaze couldn't help but drift towards the plate of tempting-looking ribs, and he couldn't help but swallow hard.
Li Rong frowned and glanced at the man indifferently: "If I don't give it to you, what are you going to do?"
Li Rong remembered Afu. He was Xie Liangchen's pageboy, and they had met before when he came to Xinghua Village.
In fact, the Xie family and the Li family were both prominent families in the capital, and their fathers often interacted. However, he had no connection with Xie Liangchen.
Li Rong spent most of his time fighting on the battlefield and rarely returned to his homeland. Xie Liangchen, on the other hand, lived in the capital for most of his life. However, due to a series of unfortunate events, the two never met.
The fact that this Second Young Master Xie was demoted to the Great Wilderness caused quite a stir, and Li Rong naturally knew about it. They met there.
That's why he bought such a sinful wife.
In a respectable family like the Xie family, the servants in the household all possessed genuine skills. It was said that some servants even needed several years of training before they could serve their masters closely.
That's why he spent his last ten taels of silver to buy Ah Nuan back.
There was rice in the house at that time, but there was no skilled cook. Li Rong raised three children on his own, and he was rather rough around the edges.
He didn't think it was a problem to raise the children roughly, but after one of the children vomited and had diarrhea after eating his food, Ping'er had a long talk with him. Only then did Li Rong consider buying people.
The Xie family is indeed powerful, far superior to the Li family. The Li family, from top to bottom, consists of reckless and violent men; they could never have raised someone like Anuan.
Although Anuan was once a slave, she was an excellent cook, with dishes he had never seen before. She was also skilled in medicine, and even the legendary physician Que sought her out for instruction. Anuan was no ordinary person.
In other words, she was even superior to the noble ladies of the capital. Because of A'Nuan, Li Rong actually held the Xie family in higher regard.
He hadn't expected that someone who was also a servant of the Xie family would come up with something like this, and for a moment his brows furrowed deeply.
"What am I supposed to do? I think you have absolutely no idea what your situation is like!"
Afu gave a cold laugh, sized up Li Rong, and originally wanted to say something sarcastic, but after looking at him like this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Before, when I saw this person, I only thought he was tall and big, with a full beard, so I couldn't really see what he looked like. I always thought he was sloppy.
Now that he's cleaned up a bit, he's actually got such a handsome face. No wonder Jiang Pangya is so infatuated with him and treats the young master so coldly.
"All these things in your house were bought with money earned by Jiang Pangya, right? I suppose you, being a cripple, aren't capable of earning money yourself. You probably need Jiang Pangya to earn money to pay for your medical treatment, right?"
He crossed his arms and looked around. He saw that the house had brand-new cabinets, various snacks on the table, and a clean and refreshing heated kang bed with wildflowers emitting a faint fragrance.
The fabric worn by Li Rong and the clothes worn by the two children were all much better than his own! He gritted his teeth inwardly.
If Jiang Pangya and the young master can reconcile, all these things will belong to the young master! He will naturally benefit from them too! How could these peasants possibly get away with it?
"You think that just because you're born pretty well, Jiang Pangya will stay with you forever? Let me tell you the truth, even if you were standing right here, perfectly fine, she still wouldn't stay with you, let alone if you were a cripple.
Her heart is entirely with our young master! I advise you to see the situation clearly as soon as possible.
If you're sensible, I'll advise Jiang Pangya to treat you a little better in the future.
"You're talking nonsense!" Little Baozhu angrily clenched her little fists, gritting her teeth and saying fiercely, "Mommy won't listen to you!"
"Not listen to me? Are you listening to your good-for-nothing father, or your crippled brother? You little hussy, have you already forgotten how Jiang Pangya treated you in the past?"
Upon hearing this, both Xiao Baozhu and Xiao Er, who had been glaring angrily, were stunned. They secretly clenched their fists.
Baozhu tried to speak several times, but couldn't say anything. Finally, with red eyes, she tugged at Li Rong's arm: "Father, tell him that what he said is wrong."
Li Rong patted her daughter's shoulder reassuringly and squinted at Afu.
Ah Fu, however, acted as if he had won a battle, crossed his arms and continued, "It's just the truth, why are you making such a fuss?"
"You cripple, what are you glaring at for? Let me tell you, this blanket you're using now belongs to our young master! This blanket was sewn by Jiang Pangya, stitch by stitch, over several days and nights. If you don't believe me, look under your blanket; there's a 'thank you' written on it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Baozhu clenched her little fists and pulled the blanket over to look. She saw a character in the corner and immediately pulled the blanket over to Li Rong: "Daddy, is this really the character 'thank you'?"
This time, before Li Rong could answer, the waiter stood up: "So what if it says 'thank you'? Anuan doesn't like you anymore. Anuan brought the quilt back to us! She even said she liked us the most!"
Ah Fu wasn't that confident to begin with, but the more he talked, the more convinced he became of the truth. He became even more disdainful and said, "Like you? Let me ask you, before she got angry with the young master, did she give you even a single egg?"
You must know that she always gives our young master the best things first, right?
"Our young master's clothes, handkerchief, and shoes were all made by Jiang Pangya herself."
As she spoke, she glanced at Li Rong with disdain: "It's much more exquisite than the clothes you're wearing."
The waiter pursed his lips: "Ah Nuan doesn't know how to sew clothes, you're lying!"
"You can't sew clothes? Then how could you make a quilt like this? I think you're just fooling yourselves!"
Xiao Er secretly clenched the hem of his clothes. How could he not know that the quilt was made by A Nuan for the second young master?
She did it for several days, and when he touched her, he was beaten up.
The reason her leg was broken was because she accidentally ruined the second young master's everyday handkerchief.
Ah Fu, not content with that, raised his head proudly and said, "Let me tell you straight, you are able to live such a good life now thanks to our Second Young Master."
It was our second young master who rejected Jiang Pangya. Jiang Pangya had a falling out with the young master, which is why she's been nicer to you all. She's just trying to upset our young master.
"Just a few kind words from our young master, and Jiang Pangya will surely turn back. Your good days will be over."
Seeing how easily the others were defeated, Afu sneered inwardly. He couldn't get the ribs now, but he was really hungry. He walked to the table, picked up a pastry, took a bite, and his eyes lit up.
The pastry was made of mung beans, melting in your mouth with a wonderfully sweet taste. He ate it with blissful contentment, his eyes narrowing, and said between bites, "If I were you, I'd know better. I'd quickly write a letter of divorce, letting Jiang Pangya go back to our second young master's side. That way, you won't lose face later."
