Chapter 68: Extremely Angry
Xiao Yuanbao was not convinced after hearing this.
The two little goat braids swung, "Mom, Third Brother said that I am also a small landlord!"
Everyone laughed, "Yes, our Yuanbao is also a small landlord, a small landlord of twenty acres of land."
Little Yuanbao nodded sweetly, his eyebrows and eyes shining, and there seemed to be thousands of stars in his eyes.
Under the sunlight, you can see the sparkling fur on the baby's face and his warm smile makes the winter no longer cold.

It was not until the evening that the family returned home.
As expected, Wang Tiangou had returned first.
He was lying on a simple stone table in the yard, reading and studying.
"Tengu, have you had lunch?" Cai asked shamelessly.
He was not her own child, and in her joy she forgot about him.
"Yes. I ate it in school." Wang Tiangou replied.
Cai heaved a sigh of relief and explained what happened today.
When Wang Tiangou heard that Cai and her family had bought the land, he was happy for them and congratulated them.
Cai went into the house, put everything away, and quickly started to cook dinner.
Today is a good day. We made a lot of money and bought some land. The whole family is happy. Cai prepared several delicious dishes for the children.
The braised pork is stewed until it is fragrant and glutinous, and just the smell of it makes you salivate.
A big pot of tofu and meatball soup, the soup is thick and has some pork fat, it is especially fragrant.
The steamed eggs are cooked to perfection, sprinkled with scallions and drizzled with sesame oil, and are fresh, tender and fragrant.
I also made a dish of lamb and radish stewed in a clear soup with a milky white color. The lamb was cut into small pieces and the radish was cut into large pieces. They were blended together and it was both delicious and beautiful.
Four big dishes, this is a standard that most people don’t have during Chinese New Year.
I cooked a big pot of white rice.
There were five children in the family, all of them half-grown boys, plus a greedy little girl. Cai didn't even have time to eat a few chopsticks of food before the children had already eaten everything.
The children ate until their mouths were full of oil and their faces were filled with satisfaction.
Especially little Yuanbao, touching his round little belly, was still making an appointment with Cai, "Mom, it's so delicious, let's eat these dishes again tomorrow!"
"Little foodie."
It was getting dark outside.
Cai and her friends bought lanterns and oil lamps today, so they are not afraid of being late.
Finally, I lived a comfortable and good life.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door outside the yard.
"Who is it?" It's so late.
Cai couldn't think of it.
"Mom, I'll go open the door." Sanbao ran out just like the little monkey.
The people who knocked on the door were Mr. Wang and his wife.
Both of them looked a little dusty.
He doesn't look very good.
Wang Tiangou was surprised, "Dad, Mom, why are you here so late?"
Normally, the two of them would not come after dark, but would come to see Wang Tiangou before dark.
Uncle Wang said, "It's okay. We just came back from work at the landlord's house. We passed by here to see you..."
Cai saw it all, it didn't look like everything was alright.
Little Yuanbao was sharp-eyed. "Old man, what happened to your clothes? Who tore them?"
Now, when everyone looked closely, they saw that not only were Mr. Wang's clothes torn, but Mrs. Wang's face was also covered with wounds.
Half of his face was swollen.
It was obvious that he had been beaten.
"What's going on? What happened?" Cai asked concernedly.
Mr. and Mrs. Wang were carrying bags on their backs, carrying some woodworking tools and other items.
Aunt Wang couldn't help it anymore and said angrily, "The Shi landlord family is too much! It's simply too much of a bully. The construction period has not yet arrived, but he said we were working too slowly. Not only did he not give us the money agreed upon later, but in order to speed up the work, our family also took a lot of old materials collected by Tengu's father. Before, the manager said that we would be settled together when the wages were settled. But today, he suddenly sent us back, saying that we were working too slowly, and would not give us the money agreed upon later, nor would he pay for the old materials. We couldn't help but argue with them, so they sent their servants to beat us out."
I worked for many days, sometimes even staying at the landlord's house, working day and night.
I only took a small deposit at the beginning.
Some of the best old materials were also added.
It makes people extremely angry just talking about it.
Mr. Wang also said, "Why are you telling these things to the children? It's not a big deal. It's okay to suffer a little loss."
Aunt Wang was a woman after all, she couldn't calm down, her eyes were red, "Well, it's okay, Tiangou, your father and I are fine, you don't have to worry."
Wang Tiangou's face darkened. "Well, I'm glad that my parents are okay."
Dabao and the others all frowned.
Little Yuanbao looked here and there, and no one knew what was going on in his little head.
Cai quickly fetched some hot water and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, don't worry, clean the wound first. God bless you, you are not seriously injured... You haven't eaten yet, right? We still have some meat soup left. I will make you some simple noodles and you can make a meal."
Aunt Wang's eyes were filled with tears. "This is too much trouble for you."
"It's no trouble. We are all from the same village..." Cai went to the kitchen to cook.
Mr. and Mrs. Wang washed their faces with hot water. With their son by their side and a bunch of kids in the room watching them, their mood gradually calmed down.
Little Yuanbao stood on tiptoe and blew air on Auntie Wang's face, "Auntie, it won't hurt if you blow."
The little one looks so cute and tender.
Auntie Wang couldn't help but smile, "Our little Yuanbao is so well behaved."
Seeing such little babes makes people feel good.
Wang Tiangou asked about the details of the incident. Anyway, everything had already been explained, so Uncle Wang told him the details again.
"The Shi landlord's family has many male descendants but few daughters, almost only one in each generation. Miss Shi was also spoiled when she grew up. It is said that she is marrying a big shot from another place, but Miss Shi did not want to marry. She escaped and was caught today. Landlord Shi was furious and wanted to move up the wedding date. It was not our fault in the first place, but now he says we are too slow. We don't need to do anything else..."
Erbao asked, "You have been working in the Shi family for so many days. Do you know what kind of important person Miss Shi married?"
Old Lady Wang shook her head. "I don't know. They only say he's a great man, but I don't know where he's from. Anyway, we guess that Landlord Shi is from a wealthy family, so it's impossible for him to marry his daughter to a shabby guy, right?"
"Then why did she run away from the marriage?" Dabao asked.
Aunt Wang said, "I don't know. We all work outside. We can't enter the inner courtyard of the house. We have no chance to meet Miss Shi. I don't know why Miss Shi wants to run away from marriage. Maybe she is just a little girl with a bad temper, or maybe she has a crush on someone?"
The little kid blinked his big eyes and said in a milky voice, "Auntie, what is a sweetheart? Is there a little person in her heart? Is it a ghost?"
