Chapter 21 This is the original male protagonist!
"I'll go up the mountain tomorrow when I have some free time; maybe I'll find news of your father."
"Stop crying. Crying every day is bad for your healthy growth. Let's eat first."
In the original book, the villains' fathers are mentioned very little; only their tragic childhood experiences are discussed. The story then turns their lives around, but the specifics of how they do so are not detailed.
In the original owner's memory, she actually looked down on Li Rong, the man who bought her.
Her ideal husband was a refined and gentle young man like the Second Young Master, not a taciturn, boorish country bumpkin. Moreover, after only two days of getting to know each other, Li Rong went hunting in the mountains and never returned.
The waiter ate three buns and couldn't eat anymore, but he still held one in his hand, reluctant to put it down.
Jiang Nuanzhi let them take the dishes and only cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks.
Just as he was about to wash the dishes, Li Junping stepped forward and took over, saying, "Let me do it."
Jiang Nuanzhi did not refuse and gave him the bowl and chopsticks.
He quickly washed the dishes, then cleaned the pot, wiped the stove, and cleaned up the firewood on the floor.
He moved with practiced skill and nimble hands, finishing the task in no time. If Jiang Nuanzhi hadn't witnessed his work, she would never have believed that an eight-year-old child possessed such a skill.
What does Big Black eat?
After finishing his work, Li Junping looked at Jiang Nuanzhi and asked.
Jiang Nuanzhi was taken aback: "You can serve some of this porridge to Dahei. Don't give it the steamed buns yet. It's injured and can't eat anything too greasy. It's better for it to eat something light."
When the big black dog outside heard its name being called, it excitedly circled around and barked twice.
Li Junping seemed somewhat surprised by Jiang Nuanzhi's answer, but he didn't say anything, only nodded.
Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder: "You've worked hard, you really are a good brother."
Li Junping glanced at Jiang Nuanzhi's hand on his shoulder, frowned slightly, and said nothing.
Jiang Nuanzhi instructed, "I have to go to the Second Young Master's house. I'll be back later."
Li Junping paused for a moment, then pointed to the steamed buns on the table: "Do you want to take these with you?"
Jiang Nuanzhi shook her head: "No. You keep it, we'll eat it first thing tomorrow morning."
She had to admit that Li Junping's handling of household affairs put her at ease. Then, she found a handy wooden stick and went out.
There is a winding stream in front of Xinghua Village, and the Second Young Master's family lives on the street at the very front of the village, which is close to the stream.
Before we even arrived at our destination, we could see the Second Young Master's house brightly lit from afar, with two large oil lamps burning outside.
Chun Tao and A Fu were right at the door, looking as if they had found their backbone, and they were very arrogant.
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at the yard and saw a large black horse tied up. It was completely black and much thinner than a typical steed. Upon closer inspection, the horse was covered in wounds. Jiang Nuanzhi's pupils contracted as she looked at the wounds.
"Jiang Pangya, you really have the guts to come here."
When Chun Tao saw her, she felt a bit gloating. Now that the Second Young Master was home, this little slut really came looking for trouble. Let's see how the Second Young Master deals with her later!
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at her and slapped her across the face.
With a snap, Jiang Nuanzhi's palm went slightly numb.
Chun Tao was beaten to the ground and lay on the ground, covering her face and wailing.
"Damn it, Afu, are you stupid? You just want to watch me get beaten up? Go up there and beat her to death, you little bitch! I'm going to fight you to the death today!"
After saying that, she rushed forward again, but she only went halfway and hadn't even touched Jiang Nuanzhi when she stopped abruptly, looking at Afu beside her in disbelief: "Why aren't you going up yet? What are you standing there for?"
How could she possibly win against that fatso Jiang Nuanzhi?
"I...I...you hold on, I'll go find the second young master right away."
Seeing Jiang Nuanzhi moving her wrists, Afu swallowed hard and turned to run into the house.
Chun Tao was left alone to face Jiang Nuanzhi.
Chun Tao wasn't stupid. When she couldn't win, she didn't try to fight back and immediately ran into the house. But before she could get far, Jiang Nuanzhi grabbed her by the back of her collar.
"Didn't I tell you to wash the clothes perfectly clean? If you don't listen, I'll beat you, won't I?"
Jiang Nuanzhi said this with a smile, but Chun Tao immediately backed away and cried out in panic, "Second Young Master, help me! Please save me!"
"How dare you! What are you doing?"
At this moment, a clear and gentle young voice rang out, and Jiang Nuan subconsciously looked up.
Then, without realizing it, she raised an eyebrow. So this was Xie Liangchen? The male lead in the book who was fought over by countless women?
The young man in front of me was slender with fair skin. He was wearing a drab gray robe, but it still couldn't hide his noble air.
Upon closer inspection, his features were handsome and dashing, with thick, unpainted eyebrows and lips that appeared naturally beautiful. He truly had an exceptionally beautiful face.
The author described the male protagonist as having a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes more than once in the book.
Indeed, even in his rage, his eyes held a tender affection, which explains why the original owner was so infatuated with him.
"What kind of behavior is this? You don't understand any manners or etiquette. You should be punished! Go and kneel in front of the courtyard for two hours."
The boy's cold voice rang out again, his captivating peach blossom eyes filled with disgust. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he turned to go back into the house.
"Hahaha, Jiang Nuanzhi, your retribution has come. Now let go and kneel down."
Chun Tao regained her composure and looked at Jiang Nuanzhi with disdain: "See? I'm the Second Young Master's personal maid. He always dotes on me more. If you mess with me, you'll regret it."
Afu also gave a cold laugh, glancing at Jiang Nuanzhi with a cold face: "Hey, you fatso, if you return the one tael of silver I gave you before, I might consider going in and pleading with the second young master on your behalf."
"What! You gave her one tael of silver!" Chun Tao glared angrily. "You bastard! We don't even have any money to spend. Why are you giving it to Jiang Nuanzhi? You must have taken a fancy to her, right?"
Afu stomped his feet in anger: "Pah! Bullshit! Do you think I'm that kind of person who would eat anything?"
"Damn it, I don't even have any money, and you gave it to her!" With that, Chun Tao desperately tried to break free from Jiang Nuanzhi, but failed, and turned back to curse:
"You fatso, why aren't you kneeling down? What are you dawdling about?"
"Stop. You two can settle your scores later. I'm just curious, what makes you think I'll listen to him?"
One sentence left both of them stunned on the spot.
"If you don't listen to the second young master, who do you listen to?" Chun Tao asked blankly.
For a moment, Jiang Nuanzhi thought she was adorably silly.
"Do I have to listen to anyone? Can't I just listen to myself?"
