Chapter 82 Chapter 82 Come and see my Rungeer
"Why plant so much? Doesn't Run'er only have one pig? Even if we feed the pig with sweet potatoes, we won't need that much. Besides, we can't feed the pig every meal. Sweet potatoes are cheaper than corn, so they won't sell for much."
When Grandma Sun heard that Xiao Qin's family planted so many sweet potatoes, she always remembered it.
I wanted to go to Qin Run's house to talk, but I felt it was inappropriate.
Don’t Hunter Fang, Aunt Qin and the others know about this?
Now that they know about it, don’t they think about going over to persuade them?
Grandma Sun asked Hunter Fang, who frowned, "I've discussed this with Run'er. It was Young Xu who asked me to plant these sweet potatoes, saying they'd be useful later. Now, Young Xu is the man of the Qin family, the pillar of the family. Since he said so, I can't say much."
If I talk too much, Xu Yunfan will be unhappy. What should I do then?
By then, it will be Qin Run who will be in trouble.
Because of what Hunter Fang said, Grandma Sun gave up the idea of going to Xiao Qin's house to talk to Qin Run. When she met Xu Yunfan today, she found that this little man always had a smile on his face whether he was talking or listening to the old man. It was obvious at a glance that he was a good person to talk to.
Grandma Sun is old and has seen all kinds of people, but that doesn't mean she hasn't made mistakes.
Xu Yunfan seems easy to talk to, but once you touch his bottom line, you will know what a devil is.
In response to Grandma Sun's question, Xu Yunfan remained gentle and humble. "I planted so many sweet potatoes to sell. I recently started a business in town and I need a lot of sweet potatoes. People in the village don't plant many, so I just planted them myself."
"Business? You..." Grandma Sun was worried and wanted to ask what kind of business Xu Yunfan was doing that required so many sweet potatoes. Grandpa Sun beside him touched his wife's arm and said, "You old woman, why are you asking so many questions? That Xu kid is not stupid, don't worry about him."
Xu Yunfan smiled and said, "Yes, grandma, I'm not stupid. If I can't make money from selling sweet potatoes, I'd be stupid to plant so many. Don't worry, I'll eat anything as long as I don't suffer a loss, and I'll do anything as long as I don't lose money."
"That's good, that's good. Just don't think grandma is too talkative." Grandma Sun chatted with Xu Yunfan for a few more sentences before Xu Yunfan went back.
After leaving Sun's house, Xu Yunfan wanted to go home directly, but as he walked, he unknowingly arrived outside Qin Dashu's yard.
The yard was very lively. Everyone was working and talking at the same time. Somehow, everyone started talking about Sun Dahe.
"I heard that Sun Dahe was fired. Do you know about this?" The man who spoke, Sun Fulang, was married from Xiaoli Village. He just returned to his parents' home the day before yesterday and saw that Sun Dahe's house was in chaos. Aunt Sun was crying and making a fuss at Li Xiaohua. It was unknown what Li Xiaohua said to anger Aunt Sun. Aunt Sun changed her previous polite temper towards Li Xiaohua and pointed at Li Xiaohua and started cursing.
"How dare you say that my Dahe is a loser? Yes, he is not as promising as your third brother, but he is better than other men. At least he has a decent job. But since he married a lazy woman like you, look at what our Sun family has become because of you. Because of you, Dahe even lost his job. It's all your fault."
Li Xiaohua has a bad temper and gets angry easily. When her mother-in-law pointed at her nose and scolded her, with so many people watching, Li Xiaohua felt embarrassed and angry. She retorted unconvincedly, "Blame me? Why blame me? Did I make him lose his life? Can you please stop blaming me for everything?"
"Who else should I blame if not you? If you hadn't taken Dahe to Xiaoqin's house, would Dahe have been expelled from the academy?" Aunt Sun heard from her son that Xu Yunfan was very powerful and he knew someone in the academy. The other party learned about the affair between Sun Dahe and Xu Yunfan, and in order to stand up for his brother, he expelled Sun Dahe.
Sun Dahe respected and feared Aunt Sun. He wanted to cause trouble for Xu Yunfan but was fired instead. He was afraid of being scolded by Aunt Sun, so he lied.
Aunt Sun, who didn't know the truth, had to blame all the responsibility on Li Xiaohua.
In the final analysis, it was because Li Xiaohua was lazy and had her eyes on Qin Run. Without Li Xiaohua and his third brother giving advice, would Dahe have lost his job?
After Sun Dahe lost his job, Aunt Sun thought about going to Li Yunfei to plead for him.
Li Yunfei studied at Qinghe Academy for half a year and was heard to be very much liked by the teacher. In this case, if he told his teacher, and his teacher went to talk to someone, wouldn't Sun Dahe's job be saved?
However, when Aunt Sun arrived at the Li family, she learned that Li Yunfei was already in a difficult situation in the academy, so how could he have the ability to plead for Sun Dahe.
When the people who came to help Qin Dashu's family heard about this, they couldn't help but wonder, "Did Sun Dahe really get fired?"
"Could it be true?" Mrs. Sun said, curling her lips. "Sun Dahe used to have a respectable job, and Li Yunfei was studying at Qingfeng Academy. It could be said that they had a bright future. Li Xiaohua was so arrogant that she looked down on everyone. Now..."
As Mr. Sun spoke, he clicked his tongue twice, as if sighing, but the gloating in his tone could not be concealed.
There is no way, who can blame Li Xiaohua for being so annoying? Li Xiaohua dislikes Qin Run even more.
Qin Run didn't bother her in any way, but Li Xiaohua was like a proud peacock who couldn't tolerate anything unpleasant around her. Therefore, wherever she appeared, as long as Qin Run showed up, she would be unhappy and would mock Qin Run.
When Qin Run was a child, he was bullied by Li Xiaohua. There was no way out. Qin Run, who had just returned to the village, was fair and tender, and had a good-looking appearance. He was completely different from the children who ran around in the village all day.
Qin's father loved him and protected him like the apple of his eye. At that time, Li Yunfei's talent for studying had not yet been discovered, and Li Xiaohua was no different from other children, with nothing to show off.
Qin Run, on the other hand, had a father who was a student, and his father had some money. Qin Run was favored, so naturally he didn't have to do any work.
Li Xiaohua was spoiled by her family and became lawless. She couldn't stand other children being better than her, so she threw stones at Qin Run several times, hitting Qin Run's head and making it bleed.
On the way back to the village, Qin Run had a high fever and could not remember anything that happened before. Qin's father was already feeling very distressed and guilty about him, and how dare Li Xiaohua throw stones at his beloved brother?
You really don't know what's good for you.
Father Qin thought that his brother Run was a young master born into a wealthy family. If his father knew about his existence, he would probably spoil him to the sky. But because of him, Qin Run had not been loved by his father since he was a child, and he was also labeled as a bastard. Now he had to suffer with him.
How could Qin's father, who felt deeply guilty towards his son, tolerate Li Xiaohua repeatedly colluding with other children to bully his child?
That night, Qin's father went straight to the Li family. Without saying a word, he walked up to Li Xiaohua, who was already frightened by Qin's father's sudden arrival, and slapped her in the face.
Father Qin was quick and had practiced martial arts. Aunt Li and her family were frightened. They wanted to question Father Qin, but he scolded them first. "Since you don't know how to teach your child, I will teach her a lesson for you. How can a ten-year-old girl be so vicious? Did my brother provoke you? You want to hit him on the head with a stone until he bleeds? I've tolerated you so many times and warned you, but you didn't take it seriously. If you don't know how to teach your child, you can't blame others for doing it for you."
Li Xiaohua was slapped in front of her family, and her little self-esteem was greatly hurt. The Li family felt that Qin's father was a bad man and did not give them face. Their child was beaten in front of them, but they could not fight back, which made them look very cowardly.
The Li family wanted to refute and protect Li Xiaohua, but they were in the wrong. Seeing Qin's father's angry look, if they said a few more words, this man might beat them up too.
Because of this incident, not only Li Xiaohua, but also the entire Li family held a grudge against the Xiao Qin family.
When Qin Run came to Dali Village, he was already delicate and tender, and seemed out of place with the other children in the village. Later, because Qin's father attacked a ten-year-old child because his son was bullied, and after Aunt Li's relentless nonsense, how could other people dare to let their children play with Qin Run?
It is normal for children to fight and quarrel with each other. They may be holding hands in the morning, and fighting each other in the afternoon. However, most children do not hold grudges against each other for these minor fights, and parents naturally do not bother to care about them. They will only intervene if the fight becomes serious.
Qin's father came to teach the other child a lesson because his own brother was beaten and had a little skin broken. With such an adult, who would dare to let their own child play with Qin Run?
Therefore, Qin Run had no playmates in the village in his early years.
Even so, the ten-year-old child can already remember things, has a strong sense of self-esteem and wants to save face, not to mention that she is a girl, so Li Xiaohua still feels that it is not enough.
Li Xiaohua hated Qin Run, and she hated him to the core. Later, when Li Yunfei showed his talent in studying, Li Xiaohua wanted to compete with Qin Run in everything.
Qin's father was a student, and his third brother was also a student. Qin's father had some money, and his family was not poor either.
Comparing them in this way, the advantages of the two are about the same, and neither of them can gain the upper hand.
Later, Qin's father had an accident, and the Qin family lost members one after another. In the end, only Qin Run and his brothers were left. Li Xiaohua was extremely proud of herself.
When it came to getting married, Li Xiaohua married a man with a decent job, but Qin Run didn't even have a matchmaker come to her house, let alone any man who asked a matchmaker to propose marriage.
Therefore, Li Xiaohua believed that she was better than Qin Run and that Qin Run was inferior to her in every way. However, she was still unwilling to accept this and wanted to continue to torture Qin Run and make it impossible for him to turn things around. That is why she discussed with Li Yunfei to marry Qin Run to Sun Dahe as his concubine.
The person who tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice probably refers to her.
Sun Dahe went to Xiao Qin's house and was not only beaten so badly that he couldn't get out of bed for several days, but now he also lost his job. Li Xiaohua suffered no less blow than Aunt Sun. She was pointed at and scolded by Aunt Sun. Li Xiaohua felt wronged and angry. She couldn't hold it in and was so angry that she no longer remembered her identity as a daughter-in-law.
"Can you blame me for this? Is this what I wanted to see? Who knew that Run'er's husband would know someone in the academy? If I knew, would I still let my husband go and cause trouble for Run'er? Didn't you agree to it at the beginning? Now that something's wrong, you blame it all on me?"
Aunt Sun also knew that she was half responsible for this, but that's how people are. If they can blame others, they won't blame themselves and blame themselves. "It's all because of your third brother. If your third brother could help, Dahe's job would not be lost. Go back and beg your third brother to find a solution."
She just didn't believe it. Li Yunfei had been in the academy for so long, didn't he know anyone he could talk to?
But the incident became a big deal, and Li Xiaohua cried all the way back from Xiaoli Village. Sun Fulang went back to her parents' home and found out the truth after asking a few questions.
"Hey, the other day when I was working in the fields, I did see Li Xiaohua walking past my field with red eyes. I was wondering why she was crying for no reason. It turned out that Sun Dahe was missing!"
Aunt Fang didn't gloat over the misfortune, she just felt a little secretly happy.
Mrs. Sun curled her lips and said, "I don't know who Sun Dahe offended. He even lost his good job. From now on, let's see how arrogant he can be in Xiaoli Village, and how his mother can act arrogantly."
Before Sun Fulang got married, he met Sun Dahe several times in the village. Every time he looked at people, it was as if his eyes were on the top of his head, and he liked to look at people with his nose up.
That would have been fine, as Sun Dahe earned one or two taels of silver a month, an income you couldn't find in any of the surrounding villages. The Sun family was also very prestigious in the village.
Several boys in the village had reached the age to marry, and the matchmaker had gone to the Sun family to discuss marriages. Sun Dahe had high standards and thought that since he could read a few words and had a high monthly salary, his status was different. The boys in the village were illiterate, and they were not as well-educated as the boys in the academy. Those without a family background were not worthy of him.
Mrs. Sun and the other brothers had been told about this by Aunt Sun before. Although this incident had passed, Aunt Sun still remembered it.
The matchmaker just came to ask, it's not like these guys were eager to get married and took the initiative to ask the matchmaker to come. Why would Aunt Sun shout everywhere that they are not worthy of Sun Dahe?
Aunt Qin asked in surprise, "Sun Dahe is missing alive?"
For some reason, when Aunt Qin and the others heard this, the first person they thought of was Xu Yunfan.
Xu Yunfan has the ability and connections in Qingfeng Academy. He can even take over the cafeteria, let alone opening a Sun Dahe.
Qin Sanfulang said, "Could it be Xu kid who did it?"
"What?" Aunt Liu and the others exclaimed, "Did Xu kid fire that person?"
Is Xu Yunfan so prestigious?
He didn't even enter the academy, but he had already extended his influence into the academy and was even able to fire Sun Dahe. How could he have such a great reputation?
After leaving Grandpa Sun's house, Xu Yunfan wanted to go home. There was no one at home, and he would be alone and very bored.
Last time when Sun Dahe had an incident, not only Qin Er and the others went to help, but also Qin Dayou, Qin Dashu and other cousins went.
It’s just that Qin Dashu is a man of few words and is not familiar with Xu Yunfan. When other people returned to the village, they would visit Xiao Qin’s house, but he didn’t go.
Although Qin Dashu did not go, Xu Yunfan remembered that he was able to go to Xiaoli Village with Qin Er and others to warn the Sun family. Xu Yunfan remembered this favor.
Since I have nothing to do right now, I might as well go to Qin Dashu's house and see if he can help me with something.
Feeling that he could help, Xu Yunfan simply went to Qin Dashu's house. As soon as he arrived outside the yard, he heard a group of people asking Qin Run and Aunt Qin how he had fired Sun Dahe.
As soon as Xu Yunfan stood at the gate of the courtyard, he instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing Xu Yunfan suddenly appear at the gate of the courtyard, under normal circumstances, everyone would just smile and say hello to him when they saw him. However, after learning that Xu Yunfan not only booked the cafeteria of Qingfeng Academy, but also opened Sun Dahe, everyone couldn't help but feel a little scared when looking at Xu Yunfan.
It felt like they were ordinary people who suddenly met some important person. Even if they were just saying hello politely, they would worry about bumping into him.
Although Xu Yunfan was not a big shot, for the villagers of Dali Village, whose highest-ranking official was the yamen runner who was responsible for collecting grain every year, Xu Yunfan was already quite powerful, even more powerful than Sun Dahe.
As for comparing with Li Yunfei, it’s hard to say.
At the moment, Xu Yunfan may be better, but in the long run, if Li Yunfei passes the exam to become a scholar, and then moves up to a higher position, one is a businessman and the other is an official, there is no doubt that the latter is more powerful.
Before, when Sun Dahe came to Xiao Qin's house, the villagers heard what Xu Yunfan said and thought Xu Yunfan was very powerful. But after they calmed down and thought, hey, Xu Yunfan was pretending to be a decent guy. His expression and tone made it sound like he was telling the truth.
Sun Dahe had only exchanged a few words with the other students. You have no relatives or friends with him, so why would they help you?
Similarly, this statement also applies to Xu Yunfan.
Although they knew what was going on, they were still a little overwhelmed when they saw Xu Yunfan.
There is no way. The temperament displayed by Xu Yunfan is too rich and noble. It is a kind of temperament that cannot be cultivated later. It is an innate temperament.
Aunt Qin and the others were different from the others. When they saw Xu Yunfan coming, they quickly stood up and asked, "Xu boy, why are you here?"
Xu Yunfan looked at Qin Run instead of the others. After hearing what Aunt Qin said, he smiled at them and said, "I came to see An Ge'er and came to see my Run Ge'er."
My Run Ge'er?
Listen to this, it's so disgusting.
Qin Run washed his hands and looked at the weather. It was already evening. Then he walked towards Xu Yunfan and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"No." Xu Yunfan said with a smile: "I didn't come to see you because I was hungry. Have you finished your work?"
"not yet."
Qin Run blushed and just wanted to find a stool for Xu Yunfan to sit on, when Dashu Niang came out with a stool and said, "Xu boy, sit down."
There is a reason why Qin Dashu is so taciturn. Both his father and mother are not good at speaking. Because of nervousness, Dashu's mother stood beside Xu Yunfan in a stammer, not knowing what to say.
The butchers could clearly see that Dashu's father and mother were feeling uneasy. They were about to say something to ease the atmosphere when Xu Yunfan sat down directly. Then he looked up and smiled at Dashu's mother, "Aunt Dashu, I'll just sit for a while. If you're busy, go ahead and do your work. Don't treat me like an outsider. Just go do what you need to do."
Judging from the tone, if you didn’t know, you would think this was Xu Yunfan’s home.
The other men found it amusing, but seeing Xu Yunfan's constant smile and approachable manner, they grew bolder and asked as they cut up the pork, "Xu boy, since you put it that way, let me ask you, was it you who had Sun Dahe from Xiaoli Village executed?"
Xu Yunfan didn't know how to kill chickens and ducks, and he thought plucking chicken and duck feathers was dirty and smelly, so he couldn't do it. Qin Run asked him to sit next to him and pinch the September Red with him.
His hands were busy, but he didn't stop Xu Yunfan from opening his mouth. "No, it's just my brothers. They heard that I was bullied by Sun Dahe. They were so angry that they asked the dean to fire him."
The man who saw Xu Yunfan kick Sun Dahe several meters away was speechless. With Xu Yunfan's fighting ability, how could he be bullied by others?
Why are they so unconvinced?
