Even the clouds were astonished. Was this really the 'honest and straightforward' Da Niu? What happened to his name meaning "honest and simple"?
However, thinking that Da Niu's words were also for her own good, Yun Duo still gave Da Niu a sweet smile and whispered, "Thank you, Brother Da Niu."
Hearing Yun Duo thank him, Da Niu scratched his head, a sheepish expression on his face.
Looking at it this way, he does indeed live up to his name.
After revealing that she was under the protection of both the 'county magistrate' and the 'young master of the Lin family' in town,' Yun Duo lost interest in chatting with Zhang Juhua. After all, anyone would find it unbearable to see someone looking at them with a calculating expression, as if they wanted to 'scrape' them dry.
So, Yunduo said a few more words to Zhang Juhua and then said, "Aunt Juhua, I'm going home now. Grandpa and Grandma are waiting for me at home." After saying that, she left without waiting for Zhang Juhua to say anything more.
"Master, Master, which woman is cursing you from behind?" As they approached the Yun family's old house, Xiao Jiu's voice rang in Yun Duo's mind. Her voice didn't sound very angry; instead, it was mostly a boastful tone.
"What did you do?" Yun Duo asked in her heart.
"Hehe..." Xiao Jiu chuckled and said, "There happened to be a wasp nearby, so I called it over and stung it." Xiao Jiu's tone held a hint of lingering satisfaction.
Yun Duo chuckled to herself, "That's it?"
"Of course not. It's not that woman's bad luck. I just summoned a wasp to sting her, and she jumped in surprise. Then she stepped on a pebble, and as the pebble rolled, she fell flat on her back." If Xiao Jiu were a person, Yun Duo could even hear the 'excitement' in its tone.
"That's not all!" Xiao Jiu continued gloatingly, "That woman was really unlucky. When she fell, she grabbed at things haphazardly, and there just happened to be a clump of eggplants by the roadside. When she grabbed at them, her hands were covered in thorns. You have no idea what she looked like; I almost laughed myself to death..."
"If you don't believe me, listen to it. You can still hear her cursing right now."
Upon hearing this, Yun Duo could indeed faintly hear Zhang Juhua cursing.
"He didn't scold me anymore, did he?" Because she couldn't hear clearly, Yun Duo subconsciously asked in her heart.
"No, they're just hurling insults," Xiao Jiu replied.
"Oh, then that's none of my business," Yun Duo thought to herself. Since she was already outside the yard, Yun Duo called out, "Grandpa/Grandma, I'm back!"
Yun Qishi was heating up food for Yun Dazheng.
The old lady was reluctant to spend the food. At noon, since Yun Duo and Yun Dazheng weren't home, she only cooked some wild vegetables. After noon, thinking that Yun Duo and Yun Dazheng would be back soon, she cooked some porridge. Because she was worried that Yun Dazheng and his grandson wouldn't be able to afford anything to eat in town and would come back on an empty stomach, she cooked some rice carefully, adding only a very small amount of thick-skinned vegetables.
When Yun Dazheng returned and mentioned that Young Master Lin had taken Yun Duo to the county town, and that he still had to rush to the town, Yun Qishi hurriedly put the rice that had been cooked but not yet touched back on the stove to reheat it. Just as it was heated up, before she could serve it to Yun Dazheng, she heard Yun Duo's voice and almost dropped the bowl on the stove.
Yun Qishi hastily put down the bowl and tiptoed out to greet her: "Duo'er is back! Are you tired? Are you hungry? Grandma cooked some vegetable porridge. Come and have a bowl. I'll add some salt for you. It'll definitely taste good."
