Chapter 0 Extra 5 Lai Xiang gets into trouble
Wu Jinghua quickly adjusted the atmosphere, "Well, I think the dumplings are getting cold. Let's eat first. Come on, Uncle Ke, Uncle Xu, eat quickly. Didn't you all say you were hungry just now?"
Mr. Ke sighed deeply and patted Liu Ting's hand. "Alright, we finally got here, let's not talk about them anymore. Come, let's eat, eat."
No matter how hard they tried to lighten the mood, everyone ate in silence. Tang Jianye and Lai Xiang stood aside, silent, their eyes darting back and forth, the atmosphere between them tense and tense.
Tang Jianye only just realized today how beautiful Lai Xiang was, and how delicious her cooking was. She was also very filial and responsible. A little girl had actually traveled all alone to the countryside in Northeast China, just to be closer to her parents.
Moreover, she ran to the cowshed in the dark every night to visit her parents. She was really capable and filial. No, the more I thought about it, the better it got. What should I do?
Lai Xiang felt more and more embarrassed when Tang Jianye looked at her. The atmosphere in the room was already bad, and she was also sighing about what happened to Grandpa Ke and Grandma Liu, but her heart was out of control when she was looked at by this man.
What's wrong with this man? He's never been like this before, what happened today?
Besides, she had never looked at Tang Jianye in detail. After all, there were differences between men and women, so what was the big deal about staring at a gay man? But today she had secretly watched him twice. He was quite good-looking.
He has a good figure and is tall. Oh no, why didn't she notice Tang Jianye's shortcomings?
No, think quickly, think quickly, what are Tang Jianye’s shortcomings?
The two of them were awkwardly together, while the people eating dumplings over there slowly noticed the difference. Lai Jiaxing and Wu Jinghua exchanged a glance, lowering their heads in silence. In the past, no matter who Xiangxiang fell in love with, they wouldn't have thought their daughter was unworthy.
But now, their daughter has parents like them. Tang Jianye can see that her family background is not simple. Xiangxiang and Tang Jianye are together. Neither of them is optimistic about it.
Elder Xu and Elder Ke also noticed something was wrong with the two children. But they didn't say anything; their thoughts were similar to Lai Jiaxing and the others'. The two old men sighed. If Xiang had wanted to find a man before, they would have brought all the best men in the country to her for her to choose from. But now, there was nothing they could do.
Liu Ting had just arrived, and she didn't know the relationship between Lai Xiang and Tang Jianye, so she didn't find it too strange.
It was getting late, and Wu Jinghua suggested, "Uncle Ke, it's been snowing a lot lately, and no one from the village has come to the cowshed, and those people haven't come either. Auntie just came over, so why don't you and Xiangxiang stay there tonight?"
After saying that, he looked at Tang Jianye again, "Um, Xiao Tang, you..."
Tang Jianye immediately stated, "I'm living here with Grandpa Xu. Hehe, Grandpa Xu won't dislike me, right?"
Mr. Xu gave him a look of disdain and said, "You can't snore when you sleep."
Tang Jianye......
As a result, that night, Mr. Xu snored so loudly that Tang Jianye couldn't sleep well the whole night.
Liu Ting and Mr. Ke lived in the west room of Lai Xiang's house. The two old people didn't sleep much that night. Liu Ting told Mr. Ke everything his sons had done since he left. If Tang Yue hadn't taken care of Mr. Ke before, he would have fainted from anger countless times.
"Alas, unfilial descendants, unfilial descendants."
Liu Ting lay on the warm kang, "Old man, the kang is really warm."
Mr. Ke almost cried. His wife had suffered so much.
He held his wife in his arms and said, "It's all my fault that you got into trouble. If there is a day when I can go back, I..."
Liu Ting gently hit Mr. Ke, "You're so old and still talking like that. Seeing you here well, I have no regrets in my life."
"Go get some sleep, it's time for daybreak."
Liu Ting fell asleep with a sweet smile on her face.
Liu Ting stayed here. With nothing to do in the winter, she spent her days with Lai Xiang preparing food. When she had some free time, she taught Lai Xiang some other skills. Their days were filled with joy.
Spring is almost here, and there have been some cold snaps lately. Liu Ting must have picked up some illnesses while in Kyoto. It's so cold that she's feeling a bit under the weather. "Grandma Liu, it's too cold tonight. I'll take the cakes there myself. I'll be back soon."
In the afternoon, Liu Ting felt a little uncomfortable in her legs. "Okay, be careful. Come back after you're done. It's too dark now, and I'm worried about you being alone."
"Don't worry, grandma. I'm used to walking this way. It's okay."
Lai Xiang wrapped himself in a coat, put on a hat and gloves, wrapped the freshly baked pancake in a cloth, put it inside the coat, and ran into the night.
For some reason, Liu Ting felt a little uneasy. She hadn't felt this way for a long time.
About 30 minutes later, Liu Ting kept looking outside, but she couldn't see Lai Xiang. She was delighted when she saw a light coming from a distance. Did he have a flashlight?
But the light grew brighter, and Liu Ting realized it wasn't a flashlight but a car light. There were no cars in the village, and the only person who drove there was Tang Jianye. Liu Ting ran out of the yard without her coat.
As soon as Tang Jianye got out of the car, Liu Ting immediately grabbed Tang Jianye's arm and said, "Xiao Tang, you're just in time. Go pick up Xiangxiang from the cowshed. Xiangxiang said she'd be back after delivering the pancakes. But it's already past midnight, and I haven't seen Xiangxiang come back yet."
Tang Jianye's restless heart immediately calmed down, and he looked at Liu Ting with a serious face, "Grandma Liu, please go into the house first. I will go look for her right away."
After saying that, he ran straight towards the cowshed without waiting for Liu Ting to react.
It takes at most seven or eight minutes to get from here to the cowshed. Lai Xiang hasn't come back yet. If he didn't stay in the cowshed, then this time is definitely abnormal.
Tang Jianye was running very fast. After running three or four hundred meters, he suddenly heard a faint whimpering sound coming from a snow pit not far away. Tang Jianye's eyes turned cold and he immediately ran towards the source of the sound.
Lai Xiang knelt in the snow, her mouth gagged with a rag, her hands tied behind her back as a man tied her hands with a rope. She struggled, but every time she moved, the man behind her kicked her hard. Lai Xiang was too weak to break free, so she could only sob.
When Tang Jianye came over, he saw a man kicking Lai Xiang in the back. He quickly stepped forward and kicked the man in the heart. The man screamed and flew back four or five meters.
They were some distance from the village, and it was late, so no one in the village could hear them. Tang Jianye stepped forward and pulled Lai Xiang to his feet. Lai Xiang had no idea how many kicks he had on his back, and it was difficult for him to stand up.
Tang Jianye pulled the rag out of her mouth. Lai Xiang immediately shouted, "Catch him! He's trying to rape me."
Tang Jianye was already furious, and hearing this, his anger reached its peak. After helping Lai Xiang up, he walked towards the man.
The man spat out a mouthful of blood after being kicked by Tang Jianye, and fell into the snow, unable to get up. Seeing Tang Jianye walking towards him, he was so scared that he crawled back in the snow, "No, don't come over here, don't come over here."
Tang Jianye went up and covered the man's mouth and started to punch and kick him. The man was in great pain, but no injuries were found.
Lai Xiang listened to the man's voice getting weaker and weaker, and she shouted in a low voice, "That's enough, don't beat him to death."
