Chapter 192:
What? Here they come again, here they come again!
This damned fat woman, exactly what’s wrong with her that she always treats him like he’s nothing!
Wang Jiji held his head and wailed, watching her twist her water bucket waist and walk away without a care, he was furious, he’d just helped her a few days ago!
Arriving home, Miaomiao was lying on the table writing under the sunshade.
Seeing them return, she ran over, “Mother, who are they…”
In this yard, including the servant, eight or nine strangers had suddenly come in.
Luo Zhi’er feared scaring her, and said,
“Bill’s owner, they’re here to see Bill!”
“Oh!”
Miaomiao’s eyes darted around, looking at the tall Ye Beiyao, wasn’t this the owner of Yumian Tower?
Why had he come?
But she didn’t ask too much, just obediently stood behind her mother.
“But… Mother, which one is Bill’s owner?”
The soft voice entered Ye Beiyao’s ear, he squatted down, “Bill is my dog…”
“Oh, it’s you, Master Ye, thank you for giving Bill to us, Miaomiao likes Bill so much, it’s my friend!”
Ye Beiyao patted her head, this young maid was so heartwarming compared to his troublesome sister at the manor who’d been a handful since childhood!
“But, Master Ye, are you here to take Bill away?”
Unease showed in the young maid’s eyes, “Miaomiao doesn’t want to part with it!”
“No, Bill is yours since it’s given to you!”
“Really? Thank you, Master Ye! You’re so nice!”
Miaomiao jumped up happily, she’d thought they were here to take Bill away.
Finally relieved, last time she’d had Song Wu give Bill to her for protection, now confirming it was hers and they wouldn’t take it away.
Miaomiao was just like her mother, her happiness melting hearts when she smiled!
Song Wu also smiled along!
This Luo Zhi’er didn’t look great herself, yet she’d raised such a cute young woman!
Wang Jiji snorted coldly!
Looking around the yard, “Hahaha, Luo Fatty, who would’ve thought you keep fish? Look at this fish pond the size of a fingertip, and the fish are like small bean sprouts…”
“Hm? What’s this? Stove? How’d you mess it up like a bear… Do you even know how to repair a stove?” Wang Jiji squatted by the bread kiln studying it!
“But it’s kinda pretty!”
With these four coming in, Wang Jiji especially felt uneasy all over, the others showed no reaction.
He’d been raised in luxury, when had he ever seen such a shabby house, with scallions in front and a dung bucket right beside it!
But seeing some odd and curious things, he was instantly drawn in!
“Eh, Jia Xin, come sit here quick, this lounge chair looks pretty good!”
Wandering around, the home was rundown, but the yard was swept very clean…
What drew the eye was the sunshade on the backing side, surrounded by a fence with pretty decorations, the ground even paved with large stone slabs, making one want to sit and rest!
This must be their place for entertaining guests? Quite unique!
Luo Zhi’er said: “Please sit wherever, sirs, Bill is tied over there, I’ll go brew some tea!”
“Good!”
Miaomiao quickly followed her to the backyard to fetch firewood and boil water.
While she boiled water, those few went to see Bill, this guy looked much fatter than at the manor, sturdier too, with his fur groomed clean, clearly living well!
Teasing it, after seeing Bill, they went back to sit at the long table, Jiang Shaoqing and Ye Beiyao picked up Miaomiao’s writing to look, nodding, “This young maid can actually write.”
Picking up another paper, “Abacus?”
“What do the special symbols in these arranged numbers beside it mean?”
“Multiplication Table?”
There was writing on it!
“Has Shaoqing heard of this?”
Jiang Shaoqing shook his head… the two delved deep… the more they explored, the more incredulous it seemed…
Wang Jiji and Jia Xin lay on the lounge chairs, lazily sunbathing, looking at the bunch of wild flowers stuck in the long table nearby,
“This Luo Fatty really knows how to enjoy, food made well, look at this rundown place, she’s turned it into a pastoral picnic!”
The others secretly agreed.
Soon the tea was brewed,
“Sorry, sirs, home only has flower tea made by this wife, no tea leaves to offer!” Luo Zhi’er said.
“This is… Goddess of Luo Flower?”
Jiang Shaoqing said faintly.
“Young Master Jiang has sharp eyes, indeed Goddess of Luo Flower, this season is when it blooms in the mountains and wilds, so this wife picked some to make flower tea!”
“How did you think to brew tea with it?”
“This wife heard Doctor Li say that Goddess of Luo Flower tea aids digestion, stomach health, removes spots, and beautifies, so I thought of it, hope the young masters won’t mind!”
“Luo Niangzi is clever and thoughtful, how could we!”
Wang Jiji lay on the lounge chair, had the servant pass him a sip.
At this time Li Sanmao finished the village meeting and hurried back, pulling her aside to relay Village Chief Li Zhengxin’s words.
“Wife, Uncle Zhengxin says he’ll treat later, inviting the young heir and these young masters to their home for a meal!”
Luo Zhi’er saw they seemed to have seen Bill yet showed no sign of leaving.
Thinking, she walked over, “Young Heir, Village Chief has invited several respected elders from the village to accompany, inviting you all to their home for lunch!”
Ye Beiyao’s eyes flashed, “Trouble, not going!”
“This Young Master isn’t going either!”
“Me neither!”
“Not going!”
Finally out for some freedom, and now this! Humph! Everyone knew full well, was the village chief afraid of poor hospitality here, or hoping to forge some relationship with them?
Ye Beiyao glanced at Li Sanmao, not taking him seriously at all, “Shaoqing, Wang Xiong, Jia brother, we’ve been in town too long, rare chance to roam the countryside, I see Luo Niangzi’s back mountain should have nice scenery, shall we go climb it?”
“Eh, right! Let’s go, Jia brother!”
Wang Jiji immediately got up and slipped away ahead.
The others followed…
Leaving the rest for them to handle,
Luo Zhi’er was speechless, clearly they had no plan to leave anytime soon, thinking, she called out: “San Mao, why don’t you go with them!”
Then to those few: “My husband knows this mountain well, wild beasts appear in the mountains from time to time, have him lead the way for you.”
After all, none of them had been up the mountain, all these noble young masters, in case of wild game, snakes and insects or such, he could help remind them.
“Then we’ll trouble you!”
Jiang Shaoqing said faintly.
“Don’t mention it, sirs please follow me!”
Li Sanmao grabbed his usual hunting belongings, he always felt that Master Ye looked down on him, though his home conditions weren’t as good, he wasn’t bad either!
Intent on showing off a bit in front of them! Let him bully his wife!
Luo Zhi’er saw their group head up the mountain, turned and entered the kitchen.
