As he spoke, Xue Darong gave a gently pat on Jiang Yue’s head.
Li Hehua was afraid that Jiang Yue would be afraid of strangers, so she quickly squatted down and whispered, “Jiang Yue, this is Xue Darong. Quickly, say hi.”
“Hello.” Jiang Yue greeted him politely.
“Good child, quickly eat.” Xue Darong smiled and patted her head again before turning to Xue Dafu, who was eating in the shed. “I’m just here to ask you something. My family is going to sell vegetables in town again tomorrow. Do you want to go?”
Xue Dafu chewed on the rice in his mouth as he said, “No, I won’t need to go in the future either. I don’t have to pay for Xue Yan’s studies anymore. I don’t have to save on that.”
“It’s such a pity for Xue Yan. He’s such a good seedling, but he didn’t go just because he said so.” Xue Darong looked at Xue Yan with pity. “But your family doesn’t have many vegetable fields. In the past, because you had to support Xue Yan’s studies in town, you thought that even if you saved a mouthful, you could sell it for two dollars. You almost never ate the vegetables you grew. It’s good that things are like this now. By the way, I heard from father that you’ve bought a field?”
“Yup,” Xue Dafu laughed so hard that his teeth could not be seen. “Eight acres of the,!”
“Good, good, good. Out of the four of us, only your family has land. It’s good to buy land. Alright, I’m leaving.” Xue Darong waved his hand and was about to leave.
“Aren’t you going to stay a little longer?” Xue Dafu shouted from behind.
“I have to get up early to sell vegetables in town tomorrow, so I won’t be staying. I have to go back and have a good night’s rest.”
“Alright.”
However, before Xue Darong could leave the courtyard, he ran into Xue Dagui, Zhang Meili, and Xue Zhuzi, who seem to be in a rush.
They’s had been cooping themselves up in Xue Dafu’s courtyard the entire day, so the three of them had not been able to come. Now that the sun had set, Xue Da had long since returned home. Knowing that Xue Da won’t be there, they quickly went to Xue Dafu’s house.
When Xue Dagui saw Xue Darong, he grinned cheekily. “Are you here to ask him to split the money too?”
“You son of a b*tch!” Xue Darong immediately spat at him. “Do you think you deserve that money? I’m not that shameless! I’m not you!”
“Okay, okay,” Xue Dagui was still chuckling. He was thick-skinned and was used to being scolded, so he didn’t mind at all.
Xue Darong was furious.
When Xue Dafu and the others saw Xue Dagui and the others, their expressions turned ugly.
Jiang Yue took advantage of the fact that Xue Dafu and the others were all focused on Xue Dagui and the others, who had just entered, to lean over, reach out, and pick up the axe that was used to chop wood. She placed it by her feet.
Then, she picked up the wooden spoon and ate the rice in small mouthfuls while looking at everything in front of her.
Xue Yan saw her small movements and was speechless. ‘Is she ready to attack at any time… But isn’t using an axe a little… Well…’
“Get lost, get lost!” Xue Darong angrily pushed Xue Dagui away. “I don’t want to talk to you, you pesky b*stard!”
As for Zhang Meili and Xue Zhuzi, he didn’t even bother to look at them.
However, after taking two steps, he turned back and said to Xue Dagui “Don’t blame me for not reminding you. Xue Dafu has always treated you well. If you make him disown you because of your shamelessness, no one else will help you in the future. I’m not as good-hearted as him!”
“Let’s take some time to cool down.” Xue Dagui immediately rushed over and hugged one of his older brother’s arms. With a salivating face, he said, “The last time I twisted my waist while carrying water, didn’t you do the same as him? You gave me a hand and paid for my treatment. I know you have a hard mouth but a soft heart. You can’t lie to me.”
