Chapter 149 Why Have You Growt Taller?
Isn't this nonsense?
Dante Xiaodie knew that Lu Xingluo said this because he was at a loss for words. Seeing his expression, he looked as if he wanted to grow two more legs and run away. So she understood and said, "Second Young Master, do you think the eldest young master is looking for you?"
"It must be." Lu Xingluo immediately turned around and left without even looking at Ding Mei.
Ding Mei was extremely disappointed: "Ding Xiaodie, are you causing trouble again?"
"How could I have that?"
"Just now, the Second Young Master asked me if I was your cousin. What did you say?"
Ding Mei's voice was buzzing in her ears, but Ding Xiaodie's attention was now all on the opposite side. She saw Ding Xue was like a dog-skin plaster, twisting and turning, and trying to get in front of Lu Chenhe.
Disgust clearly flashed across Lu Chenhe's expression, and he instinctively turned to the side. Just then, Lu Xingluo ran over to talk to him as if he had lost his soul, so the two brothers left in a hurry!
This time, Ding Xue was also disappointed: "..."
"Ah, what did you say?" Ding Xiaodie finally regained her composure and looked at Ding Mei, who angrily put her hands on her hips and said, "Are you even human? Why do you always try to mess with my good things?"
"Uh, cousin, I'm not trying to mess with you. It's just that Second Young Master Lu never took a liking to you. Think about it, when has he ever looked you in the eye? Every time he was scared by you, he turned and ran away. How dare you say that this is a good thing for you? Forget it, ah! We are running for our lives now, not for romance. You might as well think about how to do something practical for the village!"
"You, Ding Xiaodie!"
"What?"
Ding Xiaodie originally wanted to turn around and walk away, but she turned around and walked in front of Ding Mei: "It's okay, you can scream as loudly as you want if you want to be shameless. Go ahead, I'm listening!"
She just didn't believe that Ding Mei had the nerve to say out loud that she liked the second young master.
Although this matter was no longer a secret in Aozigou, and everyone could see that the second young master of the Lu family would hide when he saw Ding Mei, and the eldest young master would turn his face into an ice cube when he saw Ding Xue, but that was completely different from Ding Mei herself yelling it out.
Unexpectedly, Ding Mei didn't dwell on it any more. Instead, she looked at Ding Xiaodie with a slightly changed expression. Then, with a trembling voice, she gritted her teeth and said, "You still have the nerve to say you want to do something for the villagers. Look at yourself. During this time of food and drink shortage, you must have stolen a lot of food from the villagers."
"What do you mean?" Ding Xiaodie narrowed her eyes. Is there something wrong with her? How can she frame someone for such a thing?
Ding Mei said, "Look at your trouser legs. You've grown so much taller in this period of time. If you haven't been eating secretly, what has happened?"
Ding Xiaodie was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head to look at her trouser legs: ┓(;′_｀)┏
It’s true, she has grown a lot taller, and her trouser legs, which were originally short, now almost reach her calves!
Huh? (ω)
Really grown taller?
It’s good to be taller. When you are taller, you will have more strength and can help your parents share many things.
Ding Xiaodie raised her eyes and found that Ding Mei was still looking at her with that sour expression. She immediately walked over and stood side by side with her to compare herself. Wow, she was as short as a bean sprout in front of Ding Mei before, but now she is almost up to her ears. No wonder she is so angry!
Isn't this obvious jealousy?
"What are you doing?" Ding Mei pushed Ding Xiaodie away impatiently. After a moment's thought, she grabbed her wrist again and said, "Come on, let's go find Uncle Lai Fu and ask him about this. Did you cheat on me? Otherwise, how did you suddenly grow so tall?"
"Silly, don't you see Uncle Lai Fu is busy distributing water to everyone? If you want to know if I stole any food, why not go and ask the village food guards if I haven't taken any. Besides, where were you when I was eating the rabbits I hunted in the mountains and the truffles I dug? Those are very nutritious things, you just weren't lucky enough to have them."
Ding Xiaodie pulled her hand back. She was so annoyed that she didn't want to waste any more time arguing with Ding Mei in the hot sun.
She wasn't questioning whether she had cheated or not. It was just that Lu Xingluo didn't give her the face to walk away, so she wanted to take the opportunity to find someone to vent her anger.
After saying this, Ding Xiaodie turned around and left, too lazy to pay attention.
Ding Mei was so stunned that she just stood there for a moment, and finally she could only shout out weakly: "Ask me if you want, do you think I'm afraid?"
Ding Mei really asked right away. She found Village Chief Lai Fu and said, "Uncle, I have a very serious question for you."
Lai Fu was busy distributing water to everyone. He originally wanted to ask her to wait, but when he heard the word "serious", he had no choice but to hand the water scooping tool to Ding Gui. Then he turned around and wiped the sweat off his face and asked Ding Mei, "What's the matter?"
Ding Mei said confidently, "Uncle, you are the village chief, you must be fair and just in doing things. Even if Ding Xiaodie has captured desert soldiers before, you can't favor her and give her food in private, allowing her to eat so much in a short time."
"What?" Lai Fu couldn't believe what he heard, and he tilted his head.
Ding Gui, who was scooping water, heard his daughter mentioned and stopped to ask, "Ding Mei, what did Xiaodie do to you again?"
Ding Mei said righteously: "She stole food from the village."
"What?"
Ding Gui and Lai Fu had the same reaction: "Why do you say that? Do you know how many people are guarding the grain in the village? There are about ten people in each shift, and they change shifts twice a day. Even your father is among them. If Xiaodie really steals the grain, I'm afraid your father will hold her accountable. Why would he need a little girl like you to get involved?"
With a bang, all the villagers burst into laughter.
This made Ding De a little annoyed, but he knew very well that no one else could steal the grain, and it was impossible to slander him, after all, he was not the only one guarding the grain, but most of the men in the village.
It would be a huge joke if a little girl like Ding Xiaodie could steal something under such circumstances.
Lai Fu also said: "Ding Mei, you are so young, you should get along well with your cousin, don't make trouble out of nothing and make a fool of yourself."
Some people in the village couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Ding Mei, this little girl, should think before she speaks."
"Alright, alright, stop talking too much. She's just a child." Ding De yelled at the man angrily. Then he said, "Amei, go home and stop disturbing everyone else from fetching water."
Ding Mei said with a look of grievance, "If you don't believe me, forget it. I have evidence. If you don't believe me, go back and see Ding Xiaodie. She's grown a lot taller recently. Everyone in Aozigou is starving and skinny, but Ding Xiaodie is the only one who has grown taller. Isn't that strange?"
Well!!
That being said, it seems a bit against normal.
All the villagers were stunned.
Ding Gui had no choice but to jump out and curse: "How dare you say such nonsense? Who told you that you won't grow when you're hungry? Does it mean that a one-year-old child who is hungry will always be one year old? Xiaodie is twelve years old now, which is the age when she grows taller. Didn't you also grow tall when you were eleven or twelve? Think about it, everyone, is this the case?"
(I wish all babies a happy Chinese New Year and all the best!! Good luck!!)
