Wang Di tilted his head and coughed twice like a human: "Hello, little friend Ke Yaxin, my name is Yun Bao'er! But you have to call me Uncle Yun."
Everyone was stunned. What kind of magical bird was this? Aren't parrots trained by humans?
It can learn what ordinary people say and even use its brain to reorganize it.
Yun Bao'er's words completely exceeded their understanding of parrot mimicry.
The little guy didn't understand this, and happily handed out candy while scrambling with his siblings, shouting, "Uncle Yun..."
The creature from the Wangdi Pavilion is truly clever. Its body resembles that of a large white cockatoo, but its beak is significantly wider than the classic version. Its lip muscles are strong, and its mouth is large, making its face appear chubby.
Without any hesitation, it popped the candy into its mouth, squinted its eyes comfortably, and couldn't help but sway its body, like it was dancing.
The children really liked it, and they all ran back into the house to get their own collections.
Ke Meiyu bit her chopsticks and stared resentfully at Wang Dichu. Suddenly, she understood Qin Yuanjiu's feelings. Having someone who was competing with her for favor and food could indeed make one feel infuriated.
She took good care of Ke Laosi's health. Although he was seriously injured and almost lost his life this time, Qin Yuanjiu applied medicine to him in time.
Only two days have passed, and he is already able to walk around the house with crutches.
However, when outsiders come to his home, he has to pretend to be lying in bed looking like he is on his deathbed.
Ke's mother would even time her meals perfectly and start cursing at Ke Qingshu's doorstep three times a day.
When she got tired, the old lady would bring her daughters-in-law along. Anyway, out of the twenty-four hours in a day, fourteen hours were when the women of the Ke family were exercising their lung capacity.
According to the old lady, they had done everything they could for Ke Qingshu's family, yet the family committed such a heinous act that could cost them their lives.
If they can't retaliate in kind, they'll find another way—anyway, they'll make that family suffer the pangs of conscience.
Sure enough, Ke Meiyu had just finished eating, and the Ke family women, who had rested all morning, set off again with honey water.
She also gathered a large bag of food and followed behind a group of nephews and nieces who were not yet in school. This time, there was also a Wangdi Chu who was watching the excitement.
As soon as they stepped out of the courtyard gate, Madam Ke rolled up her sleeves, took a deep breath, and began to curse: "You heartless dog, Ke Qingshu! What have we ever done to wrong you? You always think we owe your whole family of six something. Bah! You're all so busy all year round, but how much work have you actually done? Do you think Third Brother, the village's scorekeeper, is just a figurehead?"
Attracted by the cursing chant, Wang Di also shouted at the top of his lungs, "It's not just for show!"
Ke's mother paused, smiled, gave it several thumbs-ups, and continued shouting:
"You took advantage of others, and now you're blaming them for not letting you take enough, is that it? We're a bunch of guys from all over, and we may not work as much, but have we ever eaten a single grain of rice or a handful of noodles from your family..."
"Never eaten it!" Wang Di shouted again.
Its appearance caused a sensation throughout Luofeng Village.
Such a large, beautiful, and talking parrot was something no one had ever seen or even heard of before. The parrots they imagined were no bigger than the palm of their hand; nothing compared to this majestic creature.
When they spread their wings and fly, they leave a shadow on the ground.
The villagers, who hadn't had enough of watching the commotion at the Ke family's house, were now even more excited, practically blocking the village entrance with their entire families.
Ke Qingshu and his wife, along with Ke Xingyue, who had been confined at home and had not been allowed to attend school since graduating from elementary school this year, had just gotten up a short while ago. They were eating white flour steamed buns that they had brought from their in-laws and drinking egg tea sprinkled with white sugar and sesame oil.
They originally thought that since they didn't have a son and their reputation was already bad, they weren't afraid of taking on another one, since the officers at the police station couldn't get any evidence anyway.
As long as they don't go out, no one can pin the blame for harming their own brothers on them.
The idea was good, but listening to the villagers gossiping about their own property, even the good stuff they talked about didn't taste so good anymore.
Suddenly, Dong Youlan slammed her chopsticks on the table, stood up, clutched her back, and walked out. As she opened the door, she puffed out her stomach and angrily said, "Does your Ke family have any sense of reason? Back then, the wild boars were so fierce, who would be stupid enough to stand there and let them attack them? They couldn't outrun us, yet they blame us?"
"Aren't you just trying to take advantage of my son-in-law because he's capable and about to be promoted to squad leader of the textile factory's freight truck team?"
"Ha, we all lived under the same roof once, who doesn't know what bad ideas the other has?"
“Let me tell you, Ke Qingyi himself is not agile enough to outrun a wild boar and got his thigh pierced. That's because he's incompetent. The comrades in the station can't find out what this has to do with my Qingshu.”
"Don't try to pin all sorts of dirty tricks on our family! But, I'm pregnant now, and if anything happens to the baby, it'll definitely be because of you guys!"
"If you're not afraid to take responsibility, then feel free to block this place!"
Everyone was furious when they heard her self-righteous words.
Recently, Ke Qingyi has been leading everyone in building irrigation canals and has already established a reputation for his abilities.
The villagers' opinion of him had changed drastically; the image of him as a lazybones had been completely reversed. He was now seen as a responsible, hardworking, and resourceful person who excelled in every aspect compared to others.
Such a person would never stoop to lying!
On the contrary, Ke Qingshu, who used to seem honest and upright, is actually quite shrewd. He works the same jobs as everyone else, doing ordinary work, but his family has a heavy burden. Which of Ke Qingshu and his wife considered this?
