Hahahaha, Cheng Zhenzhu took over the old apple, feeling quite happy, and grabbed six of them and plucked them out. It's a pity that the little guy had a shaved head, so he couldn't smooth his hair anymore...
"Shell, shell, shell!" Six was extremely ticklish and hid everywhere, clutching the candied haws and apple tightly in his hands, and found a chance to escape. Three, Seven, and Eight chased after him because Six had also taken the apple he had promised them...
Around five o'clock.
"What? You dare to scold Liu Tiao? I'll beat her to the ground!" Yitiao and Ertiao came home from school and were each given a string of candied haws. They'd barely taken one when they learned their younger brothers had been bullied. Their fists clenched, and with the candied haws in their mouths, they immediately went to find the person to settle the score.
"It's okay, I'll take care of the bad guys." Cheng Zhenzhu stopped the two angry, "violent" little boxers and gave them half a bowl of fried sausage. Having not gone to work that afternoon, Liu Tiao was out looking for food. She fried some sausage for the kids, dipped it in a little spicy crab sauce, and it tasted quite good. She ate quite a bit herself.
"Okay, then leave it to mom!" He spoke in a loud and clear voice, sat down with a righteous look on his face and started to enjoy the food.
"Leave it to mom, don't worry... Wow, this is so delicious!" Er Tiao took a bite of candied haws and a bite of fried sausage, making the others around him drool.
But they had already eaten this afternoon, and these were left for their brothers... Liu Tiao picked at his little hands, and his big eyes couldn't help but glance at the fried sausages on the table again and again.
"You guys eat too." Yitiao and Ertiao looked at their eager brothers and shared generously. The poor little ones must have been scared today, they need some nourishment!
So, the six children enjoyed the meal together. Cheng Zhenzhu ate half a stick and went to the kitchen to cook. Today, it was a simple one-dish and one-soup meal. One was stir-fried green beans with meat, and the other was loofah and egg soup. The portions were particularly generous.
After eating the ham sausage, the kids didn't feel like eating at first, but the loofah and egg soup was particularly refreshing and there was no need to rush them. They each ate a bowl and sat on the sofa, pinching their stomachs contentedly, without seeming to be worried at all.
Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the six innocent and romantic dolls and smiled faintly. It was a good thing that the dolls were forgetful. But she would help them remember what they forgot.
The next day, Cheng Zhenzhu took the children to work as usual, and still did not restrain them, letting them play around. However, she asked Xiaoqi to keep a close eye on Yu Xiaoyue's actions, waiting for her to be alone...
Yu Xiaoyue wasn't popular on Sanshi Island, and few were willing to travel with her. So, within two days, Cheng Zhenzhu had her chance. After some deception, Cheng Zhenzhu cornered someone on the beach and had them remove one of their arms. Her right hand was more useful, so she removed her left arm specifically because it was needed for work.
After Yu Xiaoyue's arm was broken, people on the island talked about it.
"This is already the second arm that has been broken on the island. We must never offend the Aiqing family in the future..."
"That's right. Last time, Xu Xia broke her arm after she beat up the kids from Aiqing's family. This time, Yu Zhiqing broke her arm because she called the kids bastards. Think about it, think about it carefully..."
"They are the only two who have nothing to do, so they had to get beaten up. They are so rude and mean, who else should we beat if not them? Aiqing would not hit people randomly. Aiqing was a good person when he was alive, and he will be a good ghost even after his death. Last time, when I was carrying something, I felt a lightness on my shoulders. It must be Aiqing's help. He used to help me carry water..." said an elderly grandmother.
"So, could it be that Aiqing was helping me when there were suddenly a few more fish in my bucket last time?" Yu Dali suddenly realized something, a mixture of disbelief and sudden realization on his face. He'd left for a moment, and when he came back to see the sudden addition of fish in the bucket, he'd been horrified. Worried about the fish eating him to death, he'd given the bucket to Xu Xia's family...
But that wasn't right. If his wife had offended the Aiqing family, how could she possibly get him fish? Yu Dali's face changed unpredictably. Xu Xia, knowing the truth, also had a changing expression. She told Yu Dali to go to her parents' house and get the bucket back. Seriously, just give her the fish. The bucket was brand new, and she'd look good carrying it. Why give it away...?
"Eh? I used to have a good relationship with Aiqing, why didn't Aiqing see and help me?" A big man muttered a few words, obviously already deeply involved in the story of "Peng Aiqing is gone, but his ghost is still there"...
In fact, when Xu Xia broke her arm last time, they heard Xu Xia muttering "Ai Qing is back, Ai Qing is back...", and they were half-believing and half-doubting.
As a result, this time, Yu Xiaoyue, with her broken arm, was saying things like "Cheng Zhenzhu's man is back, Cheng Zhenzhu's man is back..." and she looked terrified as if she had seen a ghost.
All this forced them to completely believe that Peng Aiqing had not really left, but had stayed on Sanshi Island to protect Cheng Zhenzhu, an orphan and a widow...
So many things can be explained. For example, Cheng Zhenzhu's sudden burst of strange strength. Another example is Xu Xia being punished for being rude, and now Yu Xiaoyue being punished for being rude again...
The Peng family has more than just a few kids and Cheng Zhenzhu who are hard to mess with, there's also a ghost!
Fortunately, they hadn't bullied Cheng Zhenzhu and the others much, and they were attentive to the children... Many people secretly rejoiced. At night, they would go home and burn incense, place fish on the table, and take out the tablets of their fathers, mothers, and husbands, chanting and praying, hoping to learn from Peng Aiqing how to protect their families...
After a few days of being pointed at and criticized while walking around with her children, Cheng Zhenzhu noticed that many people on the island had changed their attitude towards her. They immediately greeted her with a smile, and spoke softly to her and the others, as if to avoid startling them. The young educated youth were especially respectful to her.
Did she miss something?
"Sister Yumei, why do I feel that the attitude of people on the island towards me is very strange recently? It's strange..." Cheng Zhenzhu got off work and took the four little kids to find You Yumei to ask for answers.
"You know that Yu Zhiqing's arm is broken. Everyone is saying that Aiqing is still on this island, and is not only protecting you and a few others, but also protecting them. Grandma Dou said that Aiqing helped her fetch water, and Yu Dali said that Aiqing caught fish for him. The two people talked about it with details, and the story became what it is now..." When it comes to this matter, You Yumei has a lot to say.
What's the connection? Cheng Zhenzhu was a bit amused after hearing this. She had just happened to run into Grandma Dou while on a mission, and seeing how hard the old lady was struggling to carry water, she offered a little help.
As for Yu Dali, he had already removed Xu Xia's arm. Thinking that Uncle Dali was a good person, the family must have been burdened by the loss of a laborer. He happened to have caught a few good fish, so he just put them in the bucket...
She really didn't expect that something she did casually would be spread so mysteriously...
