Chapter 16: Dirty Hands



In the middle of the night, a figure tiptoed out of the house and was about to climb over the wall, but suddenly he found a tall and straight figure leaning against the wall, with bright green eyes looking at him quietly.

"Shit! You scared me!"

His voice was lowered and a little exasperated.

The master of the emerald eyes sneered, stood up straight, and climbed the wall with both hands. With a strong force, he stepped over the wall directly. "Let's go, I'll keep watch for you."

"Do I need you to stand guard? Who are you looking down on?"

Having said that, Wei Qingshan also climbed out, muttering as the two figures quickly disappeared into the night.

In the room, except for Wei Ci who was sleeping soundly and unaware of the time, the others were staring at each other with their eyes wide open. After a long time, they waved their hands and went to bed. With Brother Zhan following them, they believed that Wei Qingshan would not make any big mistakes.

Wei Qingshan and Gu Zhan went out for a day and did not look very good when they came back, but they did not forget to pack a portion of braised pork, braised fish and sauerkraut dumplings from the state-owned restaurant for Wei Ci and Wei Qingfeng.

"Brother, where did you and Brother Zhan go?"

Wei Qingshan rolled his eyes at him and sat down with a serious expression.

"Qingfeng, have you ever had a conflict with Qingmiao?"

Wei Qingfeng's mouth was full of braised pork, and he couldn't speak, so he could only shake his head.

They used to have a really good relationship with their second and third uncle's families. They would always think of them whenever they had a bite to eat. If it weren't for their parents' help during the three years of famine, their second and third uncle's families would not have survived so peacefully.

Gu Zhan looked at the girl's elegant and graceful eating posture. He ate one dumpling at a time, but the girl had to eat it in several bites. She didn't seem to like meat. She rarely picked up her chopsticks for braised pork and braised fish, but just concentrated on chewing the dumplings. Yes, chewing the dumplings.

Wei Ci felt like crying but had no tears. If she had known earlier, she would not have eaten so much fruit in the space and filled herself up. Now she had to force herself to eat, and she was afraid of overeating herself to death.

"Burp~"

Wei Ci blinked her eyes and covered her lips shyly. When she looked up, she met Gu Zhan's deep eyes. She couldn't help blushing and felt a little embarrassed.

The bowl in his hand was taken away by Wei Qingshan, and a pair of big hands gently rubbed his head: "If you can't eat it, don't eat it. Give it to me."

As he said this, he took over her leftover rice and finished it all in no time. His mouth seemed like a bottomless pit and he could swallow two or three dumplings in one bite.

Gu Zhan withdrew his gaze, full of disgust. Why didn’t he notice before that he was so rude when eating? He was not even half as pretty as the girl, and it was all in vain that he had such a handsome face.

Wei Ci, who originally didn't have to do housework, suddenly found that since her elder brother came back, she had become a useless little useless person who had everything provided for her. What was exaggerated was that even the water for washing her face in the morning had to be prepared and placed on the washbasin rack, and the toothbrush, towel and soap were carefully arranged neatly.

Wei Ci covered her forehead and sighed. If this continued, she would become decadent. There was no other way. She didn't have to work and still got money, and she could eat and get it all. Who wouldn't envy such a life?

Wei Ci, who lives in the back mountain and has been staying at home all the time, didn't know that the village has been extremely lively these days.

First, Wei Qingmiao broke his leg for no reason, then the second branch of the family suffered misfortunes one after another. Even Aunt Wei, who had hidden in her mother's home, had her head smashed by a rock falling from the sky, almost blowing her brains out.

Uncle Wei's second and third uncles were even more unlucky. Stepping on dog shit was a common occurrence for them. When they were working, their legs would go weak and they would kneel on the ground and hit their legs. They were walking just fine, but suddenly their feet slipped and they fell directly into the river and they almost couldn't get out. When they were digging a peanut field, the handle of the tool flew over their heads. When they realized something was wrong and turned around, there was always one person among them who was hit and bleeding.

Wei Qingmiao knew who did it. She had heard about the return of her eldest son Wei Qingshan a long time ago, but before she had the chance to see him, her leg was inexplicably broken. Thinking of this, Wei Qingmiao looked at her left leg wrapped in a wooden board and gritted her teeth in hatred.

If she had known earlier... she should have killed Wei Qingfeng as well. If the whole family was wiped out, she didn't believe that Wei Qingshan would still be able to serve in the army peacefully!

She knew that she was guilty, guilty of having caused the death of her uncle and his wife, and was discovered by Wei Qingshan. He was not like Wei Qingfeng, the mentally retarded man who could not perceive anything. Wei Qingshan had always had sharp senses, and his sixth sense was naturally stronger than that of ordinary people, otherwise how could he be specially recruited into the army.

But if a person doesn't work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. If they are unwilling to give her what she wants, she can only take it herself! The process is not important, who can laugh last is what matters most!

The next day, as soon as Wei Ci got up and went out, she was shocked by the changes in the yard and her eyes widened. The naivety of just waking up had not yet dissipated, and a tear from yawning was hanging at the corner of her eye, about to fall.

The original owner's spacious courtyard had undergone a major transformation. The road leading from the main gate was paved with cobblestones. Not only was there a stone table and stone chairs on the left, but there was also a grape trellis.

"Where did the grape seedlings come from?"

Several people who were busy working looked up and their brows softened when they saw her. Wei Ying's sister was also their sister, and she was their own sister, so she was favored.

Wu Da, the most outgoing of the group, pointed at Wei Qingshan and Gu Zhan, who were buried in their work, his little fangs showing with joy: "This is what our Gu Tuan...er, Brother Zhan and Wei Ying managed to get. Qingfeng said you like eating grapes."

Wei Ci really likes eating grapes. She has planted many varieties in her space, such as traditional summer black grapes, sunshine roses and so on. However, she did not expect that her casual remark that she likes eating grapes would be remembered by her second brother, and her eldest brother would directly satisfy her with actions.

Wei Ci smiled, her fair and tender cheeks looked even more delicate in the yellowish morning sunlight, and her dimples blossomed even more deeply, sweetening the hearts of her two brothers.

She felt that she was very happy now. Although she felt a little lonely because her mother was not by her side, she now had the two best brothers in the world.

Gu Zhan's eyebrows became more profound, and he shifted his gaze away from the girl. He moved his hands with more force, compacting the soil under his hands a little more.

Without noticing other people's gazes, Wei Ci fought for the task of going to the kitchen to cook. She was very happy today and went to make delicious food for her brothers.

She knows how to cook a lot of different dishes because she has a mother who loves to eat but doesn't like to work with things. This led her to suspect that her mother gave birth to her just to play with her as she was once forced to learn various skills.

It was not suitable to eat greasy food early in the morning, so she simply cooked a full pot of corn grits porridge and put a few sweet potatoes on the steamer. This was a local method she learned from her second brother. Although it did not look good, it was really delicious, especially since it used well water, the taste level increased several times.

He took out the leeks and eggs, made a full bowl of leek and egg pancakes, mixed a bowl of shredded vegetables, washed a few green onions, coriander and cabbage leaves, fried an egg sauce, and took out the pickled cucumbers made by Wei's mother and put them on a plate.

As soon as the aroma of leek and egg pancakes wafted out, the people working in the yard became distracted. It was so fragrant that their stomachs were rumbling and they couldn't concentrate on their work.

"Is our sister's cooking so delicious?"

Wei Qingshan glanced at Wu Da who was speaking with a half-smile, which made the hairs on his back stand up. Then he sneered: "Who is your sister? She is my sister!"
