In the courtyard, Little Shitou, whether to start making noises again or to recognize someone, kept crying. Even when Li Yushu held him in his arms to comfort him, he still cried non-stop.
Li Yushu stood at the door, holding the child and wearing a coat, looking extremely anxious, hoping that Shumei and the others would come back soon.
The child's deafening cries kept the neighbors awake, and they all came out to find fault with Li Yushu. But Li Yushu was still there, so he had no mood to pay any attention to them.
In the middle of the night, the courtyard suddenly became lively, with everyone talking at once. Everyone was criticizing Xiao Shitou, saying that he had disturbed their sleep. Xiao Shitou became the target of everyone's criticism and cried even harder.
"I beg you, please stop arguing. You're scaring the child and making him cry even harder."
Li Yushu couldn't stand it anymore and yelled at the neighbors.
How could these older women keep silent? After hearing what Li Yushu said, they quarreled even more fiercely, pointing and gesturing in front of Li Yushu, and talking at once about his faults.
"Brother Li, it's not right for you to say that. You disturbed our sleep, and you're still making excuses."
"yes……"
"that is……"
"Isn't this just like the thief crying thief?"
…
The yard was in an uproar, with the sounds of people talking, children crying, and dogs barking all mixed together. Li Yushu was extremely anxious.
As Shumei and her friends entered the courtyard, they were stunned by what they saw.
"Haha... Interesting. It's so late at night, and everyone is still having a party?"
Wencai's voice attracted everyone's attention.
"They are back, Shumei is back..."
"Hey hey! The savior is finally back."
…
"Shumei! Go comfort her quickly. We've been tossing and turning for most of the night with this crying."
Sister Liu usually has a good relationship with Shumei. She was the first to run over and pulled Shumei over while talking.
Li Yushu quickly handed the child to Shumei and breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as the child was in Shumei's arms, Shumei gently soothed him, and the crying stopped. Perhaps the child had been crying for too long, and was still gasping for air.
"Hey! Shumei! If you hadn't come back, your uncle's ears would have been ruined. They're still buzzing. It wasn't until today that I realized why your aunt always praised you. She was absolutely right."
Li Yushu's expression! It was simply a matter of laughing and crying. Shumei said nothing, but just smiled faintly at Li Yushu.
Seeing that the child had stopped crying, the neighbors breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to go back to sleep.
But sharp-eyed Sister Liu suddenly noticed Wencai's strangely dressed appearance. She moved closer to him and looked at him again and again. Afraid of being recognized by her, Wencai kept turning away from Sister Liu's sight.
"Aunt Huang, who is this? Is he a relative of yours? Why is he covering himself so tightly?"
"Well! My relative... has... caught a cold and can't be exposed to the wind."
The old lady replied hesitantly. She was not good at lying, but her expression seemed particularly unnatural.
Wencai took advantage of the time they were talking, lowered his head, and tried to sneak back into the house. Unfortunately, he was knocked to the ground by her husband who came over to persuade Sister Liu to go back to the house.
When Sister Liu's husband saw that he had bumped into someone, he hurriedly tried to help Wencai who had fallen on his back. In his panic, he accidentally pulled off the scarf on Wencai's head.
"Wencai! Why is it you? Why are you dressed like this, like a grown-up girl?"
Wencai revealed his true face in front of everyone. The neighbors who had not yet returned to their houses all looked at him strangely, surrounding him as if he were a monster.
"Hahaha... What a talent! Which part are you singing about now?"
When Sister Liu saw that it was Wencai, she immediately burst into laughter. Wencai usually dressed up like a clown and never gave her a good look. She didn't want to take advantage of this great opportunity to humiliate Wencai.
"Wencai! Why are you dressed like this? You don't think being a man is too tiring and you want to be a woman, do you? I have a relative in Thailand, and I heard they can do sex reassignment surgery there. Would you like me to help you find someone?"
Wencai stood firm, furious, and pushed Sister Liu aside. "Get out of the way! You're the one who wants a sex change! Your whole family wants a sex change. If you want to become a man, you don't even need to go to Thailand. There are ready-made tomboys."
Wencai's mouth! It's absolutely amazing. It's not a man's mouth, it's a mouth good at cursing. Wencai finished speaking and rushed home angrily. When he passed by Shumei, he deliberately bumped into her shoulder and gave her a vicious look.
