When Xu Hai and the old couple ca out, there was so conflict on their faces.
"Mom and Dad, what’s up with you two? Are you not feeling well?" Xu He noticed the old couple’s complexion wasn’t good and instinctively felt sothing was wrong. The eldest brother’s family had actually gone back on their word, and he was worried the old couple would too.
The main thing was that the old couple ca out with Xu Hai, so he couldn’t help but think along these lines.
"Third son, co over here, I want to talk to you." Old Xu said to Xu He. After being persuaded by the eldest, he also felt that their third son was probably being deceived.
"Third son, he’s calling you, go on." Xu Hai said with a smile.
Xu Mumu calmly watched this scene and then went to find her younger brother. With Xu Jiaojiao leading the way, Xu Mumu quickly found them. That little brat was actually playing by the big river outside the village with Tiedan.
The two kids were throwing stones into the water, competing to see who could throw farther.
"Sis, you’re back." Seeing Xu Mumu, Xu Minglei was very excited.
"You haven’t gone into the water, right?" Xu Mumu asked calmly, looking at the two mischievous kids.
"No, it’s so cold, I don’t want to go in." Xu Minglei said with a cheerful smile.
"And you haven’t done anything bad, have you?" Xu Mumu asked, mainly worried that these two little troublemakers would pull off sothing big quietly.
"How could we, sis, you don’t trust us anymore? When have we ever caused trouble?" Xu Minglei was upset.
"Exactly, we never do bad things. We always do good deeds." Tiedan said proudly.
Xu Mumu’s brow twitched, feeling that sothing wasn’t right. "So, what did you do?" she asked, slightly exasperated.
"We just threw stones in the water, and I splashed Xu Xue all over." Xu Minglei puffed up his chest, recalling Xu Xue’s angry face, he felt delighted.
"Little brother, are you itching for a beating?" Xu Mumu grabbed the mischievous kid’s ear. She had warned this brat multiple tis not to provoke Xu Xue.
As the heroine in the book, although there were already conflicts between the two houses, she still hoped nothing would happen between her family and the second house. She just didn’t want trouble.
She wasn’t afraid of Xu Xue. With Xu Xue’s little arms and legs, she really wasn’t scared of her. She just didn’t want trouble, nor did she want to constantly clean up the ss for her family mbers who were always courting disaster.
So, the first step in their reform was to keep them as far away from the second house as possible.
Being around the heroine ans endless trouble.
"Sis, it hurts, hurts, hurts, go easy! Why are you afraid of that wretched girl Xu Xue?" Xu Minglei said loudly while covering his ear. He was just taking the opportunity when Xu Xue was doing the laundry to throw a few stones and splash her, nothing more.
"So, you do know what pain is, but you treat my words like a breeze passing by?" Xu Mumu really wanted to give this brat a thrashing. If a beating could make this boy completely honest, she would have done it without hesitation.
"What do you an, I didn’t even do anything to Xu Xue." Xu Minglei, taking advantage of Xu Mumu letting go of his ear, swiftly hid behind Tiedan.
Tiedan shrank back in fear. The way sis looked when angry was terrifying; the pair of trouble-making brothers were trembling with fear.
"Next ti, you’re not allowed to provoke Xu Xue, got it?" Xu Mumu coldly looked at the two troublemakers.
Now Xu Mumu started to ponder that perhaps she interfered too much. She should let Xu Xue give this family a harsh lesson to prevent them from courting disaster constantly. She knew her parents and brothers were difficult to manage.
"Sis, why are you afraid of her?" Xu Minglei didn’t understand.
"When did I say I was afraid of her? I just don’t want to invite trouble. Rember what I said, or else... hmm." Xu Mumu picked up a large pebble and crushed it into pieces.
"Sis, is this stone real?" Tiedan picked up a piece of rubble and swallowed nervously, looking at Xu Mumu with so fear.
"Heh, if you don’t behave, this is what will happen." Xu Mumu said calmly. It’s necessary to display a bit of strength appropriately.
"Sis, I’ll definitely behave. Can you teach your skills too?" Tiedan sidled up to Xu Mumu, acting particularly sycophantic.
"Get lost; she’s my sis. If anyone’s going to be taught, it’s ." Xu Minglei imdiately squeezed Tiedan away from Xu Mumu, looking at Xu Mumu flatteringly.
Imagining having his sister’s skills made Xu Minglei all excited.
"Want to learn?" Xu Mumu slightly raised an eyebrow. The physical conditions of these two kids were considered pretty good in the village. At least they were part of the well-fed group. If they wanted to learn so self-defense skills, she could teach them, and she could tire them out to stop them from causing trouble.
"Yes, yes, yes." Xu Minglei nodded imdiately.
"Sis, I want to learn too. I’ll listen to you from now on. I also want to learn from you how to shoot birds with a slingshot." Tiedan looked at Xu Mumu with bright eyes.
"Learning these things is quite tough." Xu Mumu smiled like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
"No problem, we’re not afraid of hardship." Xu Minglei hunched his shoulders, feeling instinctively it was dangerous, but thinking of his sister’s skills, of course, he wanted to learn them.
"Alright then, starting tomorrow morning, I’ll teach you." Xu Mumu said with a big smile.
"Sis, I’ll definitely co to your house early." Tiedan said earnestly.
Bringing Xu Minglei ho, by then Xu Xue had already changed into a fresh set of clothes, and clothes hanging in the courtyard were still dripping.
When she saw Xu Minglei, Xu Xue was still a bit upset.
But she didn’t say much, she just glanced more at Xu Xue. She knew about the matter of the eldest house going back on their word.
The eldest uncle and aunt had no brains, when the third family’s people proposed, of course, they were tempted, and now they were actually giving up, ever since Xu Mumu ca back, this made her think more.
Every ti she saw Xu Mumu, she felt a sense of discord. This wasn’t the cousin she knew. She also thought about rebirth, but Xu Mumu’s behavior seed unlike it. Even if reborn, Xu Mumu’s dislike for her certainly wouldn’t change.
When she was suspecting Xu Mumu wasn’t reborn, Xu Mumu went and stopped the eldest house from being in trouble today, making her doubt again if Xu Mumu was reborn, otherwise how could she know about this matter.
Xu Mumu directly ignored Xu Xue’s searching gaze. Whatever suspicions she had were fine as long as she didn’t run into her hands.
"Sis, did you see that wretched girl glaring at you just now?" As soon as they got into Xu Mumu’s room, Xu Minglei still couldn’t get over Xu Xue glaring at Xu Mumu.
