Uncle
On the day of Zhou Zhiyuan's maternal grandmother's birthday banquet.
All seven siblings came, and they all brought their families.
Zhao Hui is the eldest. The youngest, the seventh, is Zhou Zhiyuan's maternal uncle, who is only twenty-eight years old and is named Zhao Tingfeng.
As soon as Ye Wanqing entered the room, her gaze fell on Zhao Tingfeng. This man was Zhou Zhiyuan's uncle, and she had heard that he had already become a battalion commander at a young age.
In her previous life, the original owner of this body and her uncle did not have much interaction.
Zhao Tingfeng was dressed in military uniform, with a tall and straight figure, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. Just standing there, he was captivating.
Ye Wanqing was stunned. Her looks were amazing, definitely a 9.6 out of 10! The cashback offer must be incredibly generous!
At the same time, Zhao Tingfeng also saw her.
The little girl in front of me was thin and small, but with fair skin. Her big, watery eyes were so captivating that they seemed to steal your soul with just one glance.
Who was this girl? He felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen her somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place her...
Just then, a system notification sounded in my ear: [Ding! 5 Dislike Points added!]
Ye Wanqing wondered where this disdain value came from, and only when she turned around did she realize that it was Zhou Zhiyuan's aunts talking behind her back.
Although the sound wasn't loud, she still heard it.
"See that? This little girl is the one my eldest sister adopted. I heard she likes Zhou Zhiyuan and is crying and begging to marry him. But Zhou Zhiyuan doesn't like her."
"The little girl is quite pretty, but unfortunately she comes from a poor family background, is from a capitalist family, and is uneducated. It's normal that Zhiyuan doesn't like her."
"The key point is that Zhiyuan was originally planning to marry her, but she changed her mind and broke off the engagement, causing this whole mess."
"That's really ungrateful. Zhiyuan is a university professor. It's a miracle he's willing to marry her. And she's making a fuss."
Zhao Tingfeng clearly heard these words as well.
I'd heard before that my eldest sister had adopted a girl, but he's often at the military base, so this was the first time I'd met her. I never expected she'd like Zhou Zhiyuan… But his sisters are so ruthless with their words…
Ye Wanqing didn't tolerate it; she went straight up and started chatting with several of her aunts.
"Second Aunt, you have chives on your teeth. Didn't you brush your teeth? Ugh, your breath smells terrible!"
My aunt immediately looked embarrassed and quickly covered her mouth.
Ye Wanqing ignored her and continued speaking to her third aunt:
"Third Aunt, look at your outfit, it's so outdated! It makes clothes from the 80s look like they belong to a primitive tribe. I suggest you apply for UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status."
Auntie's face immediately turned ashen, her expression extremely unpleasant. "How dare you speak to me like that?!"
"Auntie, I heard your son doesn't have a girlfriend yet? Oh dear, you'd better hurry up. Do you know why zoos breed pandas? Because some species can really become extinct on their own."
My fourth aunt immediately became furious and said, "Who are you insulting?"
"Fifth Aunt, look at the wrinkles on your face. Even ants would need navigation to crawl up there."
Aunt Wu reached out and touched her face, which immediately turned red with anger.
"Sixth Aunt, you've gained quite a bit of weight. Uncle hasn't been affectionate with you in a long time, has he? He'll have to keep a close eye on you later."
Aunt Liu was so angry that she immediately started cursing, "How can you speak so viciously, you little brat!"
"I learned this from you guys. That's what you call teaching by example."
After this series of actions, the system notified you: [Ding! Dislike value +5 points! You have now reached 10 points. You will receive 10,000 yuan.]
Ye Wanqing was very satisfied. She had already received 10 points of dislike points, and her task for the day was considered complete.
Meanwhile, Zhao Tingfeng, who was standing to the side, kept trying not to laugh, but he was secretly laughing uncontrollably inside.
This little girl has a sharp tongue; she actually managed to debate with a group of scholars, leaving her older sisters speechless. She's really impressive.
However, those older women were really harsh in their words; there were some things they said that he couldn't stand, so he deserved to be criticized.
Ye Wanqing arrived at the hand pump well and found it quite novel to see this old-fashioned object. After all, in this era, cities had running water, but rural areas relied on hand pump wells.
Because it was a bit hot, she thought of getting a basin of water to wash her hands.
She bent over, rolled up her sleeves to her elbows, and began to press water out of her wrists. But she couldn't get any out.
Several aunts watched her gloat, seeing her make a fool of herself. Ye Wanqing thought to herself, "Hmph, I don't believe I can't squeeze it out."
“You need to pour some water into the well first before you can pump water out,” Zhao Tingfeng said slowly from the side.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing scooped some water into the well and then pumped it up, successfully drawing the water up.
The cool well water gurgled into the iron bucket. She found this method of pumping water quite novel.
Thanks.
As she pumped the water, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
Zhao Tingfeng watched her with great interest the whole time.
This little girl is not only witty and humorous, but every move she makes is so beautiful.
Finally, the water pressure was full.
Ye Wanqing tried to lift the bucket, but as soon as she did, the sole of her shoe slipped on the moss by the well, and she fell forward.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Tingfeng immediately ran over, put one arm around her waist and the other on her shoulder, and held her in his arms.
Are you alright?
He asked in a low, gentle voice, his eyes showing a hint of tension and concern.
Ye Wanqing opened her eyes, still shaken, and met his gaze. Her face instantly turned red, and her heart raced.
"I'm fine."
She hurriedly steadied herself, trying to break free from his embrace, but found her legs were still a little weak.
Zhao Tingfeng continued to support her steadily until he was sure she was standing firmly before letting go.
Just then, a cold laugh came from the side.
"Ouch." Zhou Zhiyuan leaned against the door frame, a mocking smile on his lips, his eyes scanning back and forth between the two. "Ye Wanqing, you fell at just the right time, deliberately throwing yourself into my uncle's arms?"
Ye Wanqing thought to herself, "This Zhou Zhiyuan not only doesn't help, but he's also making sarcastic remarks."
She then deliberately said, "That's right. I've taken a liking to your uncle, so what if I deliberately tried to seduce him? Your uncle is much better than you."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tingfeng's pupils widened, and his handsome face showed disbelief.
He secretly laughed to himself: This woman really dares to say anything.
But for some reason, he felt a strange sense of pleasure after hearing it.
Zhou Zhiyuan was clearly surprised by Ye Wanqing's words, and for some reason, he felt a little angry.
She clearly likes him.
Saying that to him on purpose is nothing more than a way to provoke him.
"Ye Wanqing, you're just trying to get my attention and make me jealous. Saying you want to be my brother and sister is all a scheme."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing inwardly rolled her eyes.
Zhou Zhiyuan is both shameless and delusional.
I don't know what possessed the original owner of this body in the past life to fall in love with such a thing.
After saying that, Ye Wanqing did not hesitate at all. She immediately stood on tiptoe and kissed Zhao Tingfeng on the face.
Zhao Tingfeng was completely taken aback that she would actually dare to kiss him, and his face instantly turned red.
This was the first time a girl had ever kissed him on her own initiative...
