Upon hearing Yuan Dasheng's question, Master Tian picked up his teacup with a cryptic expression, took a sip of tea, and replied, "I'm not a god, how could I possibly see her problem at a glance? Give me her birth chart later, and I'll take a closer look."
Yuan Dasheng and Yuan Xiangyong exchanged a glance and nodded: "Okay."
After Yuan Mengge and Li Xue'e arrived in the kitchen, Yao Dongqing said to them, "A'e, wash the vegetables in the basket. A'ping, watch the fire."
Yuan Mengge and the other person helped with the work, and two minutes later...
"Crack! Bang! Clang! Clatter!" After a series of smashing sounds, Yao Dongqing angrily shouted, "Aping! Get out of here! Don't cause trouble!"
Yuan Mengge: "...You were the one who asked us to come and help!"
Yao Dongqing gritted her teeth in anger: "I asked you to help, not to mess things up. I asked you to pick some green beans, and look at the amount of bean ends you threw away—more than the beans you picked! What were you doing keeping the parts with worms? Were you going to stir-fry them to eat the worm meat?"
Li Xue'e: "...Ah Ping, why don't you...go out first?"
Yao Dongqing: "I asked you to peel an eggplant, but what did you peel? Why didn't you just cut off your fingers?"
Li Xue'e stared in silence at the several-centimeter-thick eggplant skin that Yuan Mengge had peeled.
Yao Dongqing: "Go and fetch two buckets of water! After you fetch the water, go chop firewood!"
Yuan Mengge silently carried two buckets out of the kitchen to fetch water.
She can't do delicate work, but she can do heavy work.
After fetching water, Yao Dongqing added, "After chopping firewood, go up the mountain to feed the chickens and ducks."
Without saying a word, Yuan Mengge stood at the door and shouted into the living room, "Yuan Dasheng, go up the mountain to feed the chickens and ducks! Otherwise, you won't get dinner!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Dongqing angrily grabbed a ladle and rushed out, pointing at Yuan Mengge and yelling, "I asked you to go, why did you call your brother? Besides, even if he doesn't do anything, he can still eat. I think you're not allowed to eat! He can't cook anything well, so eating is a waste of his time!"
Yuan Mengge said, "He wants to eat without doing anything? Dream on! If you don't give me any, then none of you will get any!"
As he spoke, he turned around and walked to the stove, grabbed a handful of ashes and threw them directly into the pot where meat was cooking.
"Ah—Yuan Pingping!!! You daydreaming old woman!!! Are you crazy???" Seeing that she had thrown the ashes into the pot without hesitation, ruining a perfectly good pot of meat, Yao Dongqing screamed in anger.
Yuan Mengge said coldly, "This is the price you pay for your favoritism. If you can't treat everyone equally, don't blame me for taking my own way to get revenge!"
As soon as she turned around, she saw Yuan Dasheng and Yuan Xiangyong standing outside the kitchen door. She glared at Yuan Dasheng again and said, "What are you looking at? It's all your fault. You ruined this pot of meat."
Yuan Dasheng looked utterly bewildered: "??? What the hell did I do???"
Then he looked at Yao Dongqing and asked, "Mom, what happened? What did you call out just now?"
Yao Dongqing rushed over with a ladle, raising it to hit Yuan Mengge, while replying to Yuan Dasheng, "That brat! I just cooked a pot of pork, and it was almost done, but she threw all the ashes into the meat, ruining the whole pot!"
Seeing that she was about to hit her, Yuan Mengge dodged left and right, saying, "Who told you to favor Yuan Dasheng? You deserve it! He doesn't have to do anything to get food. Dream on!"
After hearing Yao Dongqing's account of what Yuan Mengge had done, Yuan Dasheng immediately hid behind Yuan Xiangyong: "Dad, look at her! This brat has ruined a perfectly good pot of meat, aren't you going to do anything about her?!"
Seeing her do such a thing, Yuan Xiangyong was so angry that he couldn't help but yell at her, "Yuan Pingping! Are you crazy? A perfectly good pot of meat, don't you need to pay for it?"
Yuan Mengge was chased out of the kitchen through the back door by Yao Dongqing. Yao Dongqing circled around the kitchen, ran to the front yard, picked up her bicycle, and ran away, shouting back at Yuan Xiangyong as she ran, "It's not my money you're spending! You guys eat slowly, don't wait for me."
Then he ran away.
When Duoduo saw her run out, she immediately got up and ran out after her.
Li Xue'e in the kitchen was dumbfounded. She stood next to the wok and stared at a pot of meat covered in ashes.
"Ah...what a pity..." She felt a little heartbroken about the flesh.
Yuan Xiangyong and Yuan Dasheng walked in together and went to the pot to take a look.
It would have been better if I hadn't looked; looking at it made me even angrier.
Yuan Dasheng said, "This brat has really gone mad! Why is she wasting meat like that!"
Yuan Xiangyong turned to walk out and saw Master Tian standing in the courtyard. He said, "Master, look at her, look at her, is she even a normal person?"
Master Tian stared thoughtfully in the direction Yuan Mengge had left.
Yuan Mengge carried the bicycle to the roadside before putting it down, and then rode it away from the village.
Anyway, she has money, so she won't starve.
Yao Dongqing sat on the edge of the yard, pounding her chest and cursing, "Oh my! Why did I give birth to her and raise her for so long? Was she my enemy in my past life? Is she here to collect a debt from me in this life?"
Yuan Xiangyong said to Master Tian, "See? This girl never dared to talk back to us before, but these past few days she's either making me angry, making her mother angry, or beating up her brother. I really don't know what kind of ghost has possessed her!"
Yuan Dasheng said, "With her acting so crazy, what man would dare to want her in the future?"
Master Tian looked at her for a moment before speaking, "I think I've figured something out. Someone like her won't stay in a small place like this in the future."
Yuan Xiangyong was taken aback when he heard this: "Huh? What kind of person?"
Master Tian replied, “It’s clear that you can’t control her. If you can’t control her at this age, it will be even less likely in the future. I see that she is indeed extraordinary in her features. She may be a person who will do great things in the future. It’s definitely impossible to keep her in this small place.”
Yuan Xiangyong looked at him with a bewildered expression: "...???"
Upon hearing the master's words, Yuan Dasheng sarcastically remarked, "What great things can a woman like her accomplish? She's just a crazy woman. Who knows which man will end up getting her when she grows up."
Li Xue'e stood in the room, looking at this and that, then at the meat in the pot: "It seems this meat will have to be much cheaper."
Yuan Mengge rode her bicycle to town and had dinner at a small restaurant.
I also bought a plate of fried rice to feed Duoduo.
After eating and playing to their hearts' content, Yuan Mengge took Duoduo to an internet cafe.
There was only one internet cafe in the town, with a boxy white screen. At that time, PC games were not yet popular; most games were single-player games.
For Yuan Mengge, this computer was like an antique.
It's pretty good for reading the news and watching TV movies.
The customers in the internet cafe were mostly young men, with a few girls as well.
