Yun Yusheng appeared at the door at some point. His face was swollen from being stung by wild bees. He swallowed hard while staring intently at the watermelon in Yun Dazheng's hand, his face and eyes filled with desire.
Seeing that Yun Dazheng didn't react, Yun Yusheng swallowed again and looked at Yun Dazheng, saying, "Grandpa, I want to eat watermelon too."
He had never eaten watermelon before. He had only overheard Zhang Juhua gossiping on his way home, saying that Yun Duo had brought back a watermelon that was especially delicious. After hiding some at home, he couldn't resist heading towards the Yun family's old courtyard. Before even entering, he heard Yun Duo talking about eating watermelon and smelled its unique sweet aroma, so he immediately asked for some.
At first, he demanded it with a strong sense of entitlement, but later, thinking about what had happened before, he softened his tone.
Yun Dazheng hesitated.
Both Yun Youliang and Yun Shuisheng were his flesh and blood; although he was disappointed in Yun Youliang and even more so in Yun Shuisheng, he was naturally more lenient with Yun Yusheng—who was still young. However, this watermelon was obtained by Yun Duo…
Therefore, Yun Dazheng subconsciously looked at Yun Duo, hoping in his heart that Yun Duo could consider the sibling relationship.
As soon as Yun Dazheng looked at her, Yun Duo immediately understood his meaning, though she was still somewhat reluctant. However, it wasn't that she didn't want a piece of watermelon. Watermelons were precious to the people of Lujia Village, but to Yun Duo, they were nothing special.
After all, she's someone who's eaten watermelon countless times before. Besides, the watermelons she ate in her previous world were far tastier than the ones she's eating now.
If I don't give it to him, I'm afraid Yun Dazheng will be disappointed; if I do give it to him, I'm afraid it will become a habit.
For a moment, even the clouds seemed a little troubled.
"Master, master, this kid had good luck today, he caught a lot of eels (small crayfish), have him bring them over to trade!"
Xiao Jiu didn't always stay by Yun Duo's side; most of the time, it preferred to fly outside and play. Yun Duo let it be as long as it was careful. So, after Xiao Jiu 'reported' Zhang Juhua's bad luck to Yun Duo, it flew off to play again. It only flew back when it saw Yun Yusheng walking towards the old courtyard, thus relieving Yun Duo's predicament.
"Yun Yusheng, I got this watermelon. If you want to eat it, you have to ask me first," Yun Duo said confidently, raising her head.
Upon hearing Yun Duo's words, Yun Yusheng immediately said, "Sister, I want to eat watermelon."
It has to be said that Yun Yusheng is really quite flexible and adaptable when it comes to getting food.
Yun Duo almost choked on Yun Yusheng's reaction. She paused for two seconds before saying, "Okay, I know you've been fishing for eels and crayfish a lot lately. Let's trade you the eels and crayfish you caught today. You give me the eels and crayfish, and I'll give you watermelon."
Upon hearing Yun Duo's words, Yun Yusheng immediately shook his head in denial: "No, I didn't go fishing for eels or crayfish today." Then, looking at Yun Duo impatiently, he said, "You're my sister, what's wrong with me eating a piece of your watermelon? Are you even my sister?!"
Yun Duo's lips twitched slightly, and she looked at Yun Yusheng with a half-smile, saying, "From a household registration perspective, it's not really true. From an emotional perspective... it's barely acceptable." Actually, it's not really true either.
"But since you say I'm your older sister, it's only right that I eat some of your eel and (small) crayfish, isn't it?"
Yun Yusheng stubbornly replied, "No means no. I told you I didn't go fishing for eels or crayfish today, so what do I have to trade with you? Just tell me, are you going to give me some watermelon or not!"
