Chapter 139: Don’t Say Unlucky Things Late at Night
Mrs. Lin's hands were shaking as she wrapped the brown sugar, and she muttered:
"Why would a woman have to compete with men? Begging? You see, those men look big and strong,
How come they are so weak to fighting? Xiaobei knocked them down in two moves. That's it.
They insisted on doing it again, and finally stopped when they were all bleeding..."
Ah Qi collected the brown sugar scattered on the table onto yellow paper, wrapped it up carefully, and pressed his sore elbow.
To comfort Mrs. Lin, she said, "Aunt Lin, my sister Bei is so strong that my arm was almost broken in her hands.
You have to keep a close eye on her from now on, or we won’t have enough brown sugar to share.”
"Qi, you are right to remind me. We have Mr. Wu in our family, so there is no need for the boss to take any action. I will tell your sister Bei right away." Mrs. Lin stood up and was about to leave.
"Auntie, brown sugar, we haven't finished wrapping the brown sugar yet. There are still five bleeding people on the list that haven't been wrapped yet."
Aqi hurriedly pulled Mrs. Lin to sit down.
Mrs. Lin could only continue wrapping brown sugar with trembling hands.
Xiaoju has been making bracelets in the workshop since it opened. She earns 10 cents a day.
Shitou was also there making bracelets, he also wanted to earn the 10 cents.
Xiaohua plays with Tiedan, Tieqiu and others at the ancestral hall all day long. She can only be seen at mealtimes.
When Aqi had nothing to do, he liked to hang around Mrs. Lin, helping her cook and fetch water, which made Mrs. Lin smile and praise Aqi as a good child all day long.
Every time Mrs. Lin scooped up rice, she would get the thickest for Aqi, which made Xiaohua so angry that she glared at him.
Mrs. Lin smiled and scooped a bowl for Xiaohua as well.
Xiaohua felt that her mother had changed her mind and no longer liked her, so she took out all her anger on Aqi.
"Aqi, you put so much firewood in the fire that you burned all the firewood in the house..."
"Aqi, I've told you so many times not to lick the bottom of the bowl when you're eating, but you insist on licking it..."
Aqi never gets angry. His black eyes are always smiling and he never argues.
Mrs. Lin came up to Xiaobei and asked, "Bei, we won't fight with those men when we practice martial arts in the future. If they bleed, we will have to give them brown sugar. It's a loss for both sides."
Ji Xiaobei smiled and said, "I understand, mother. I will listen to you and will not compete with them in the future. Girls should behave like girls."
Mrs. Lin suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Xiaobei in surprise.
The eldest daughter finally came to her senses and liked what was said.
Your daughter will eventually get married. What's the point of hanging out with a bunch of stinky men all day?
However, Ji Xiaobei didn't think so. Without these men, how would she know that her strength had increased?
Without these men, how would she know that the things Fu Jichang taught her were useful?
Of course, I can't say these things to Mrs. Lin.
Fu Jichang came over with his bowl in hand and said, "Aunt Lin is right. They are not careful. What if they hurt you?"
Ji Xiaobei: You are just trying to make something to say. I fought with everyone in the patrol team, but no one hurt me at all?
"Yes, Xiaoyao is right. The stick has no eyes. It will be bad for anyone to be hit. We have given them all the brown sugar."
When talking about brown sugar, Mrs. Lin's voice changed.
Fu Jichang took out a bag of brown sugar from his arms and put it on the table: "Aunt Lin, although Xiaobei was not injured, she beat so many men and consumed her energy. Let her replenish it!"
Mrs. Lin smiled brightly, patted Fu Jichang's arm and said, "You are very thoughtful. I will make her a bowl of brown sugar water."
Ji Xiaobei: Fu Jichang, I have no grudge against you, why do you always want to harm me!
It was you who drew me as Zhu Bajie. I wanted to lose weight, but you asked me to drink brown sugar water...
Facing Ji Xiaobei's stern gaze, Fu Jichang wanted to explain something.
Ji Xiaobei stood up, rolled his eyes at him, and went to his room.
Mrs. Lin was knocking on the door in the yard for a long time with a bowl of brown sugar water in her hand, and then Ji Xiaobei's snoring could be heard from the room.
Mrs. Lin: How did you fall asleep so quickly? You must be tired. You beat up all the men in the village in the afternoon...
She couldn't bear to call Ji Xiaobei, so she took the brown sugar water back to the house and shared it with Xiaohua, Xiaoju and Shitou.
My family was the only ones left in the room, everyone else had gone to sleep.
Shitou was the first to express his dissatisfaction: "Mom, you are too good to Aqi. He is almost like your own son."
Mrs. Lin was so angry that she wanted to hit him on the head: "Bah, why should I be nice to him? It's for the sake of our workshop.
Is it easy for your sister to run a workshop? She sells all her products to the Qi family.
I took care of him so that they could do business with our family.
There are so many people in the workshop. Calculate how much they earn in a day. If they refuse to accept our goods, what will happen to our shop?"
Xiaoju also said: "We made so many bracelets, they are all money, if we can't sell them, it will be over! Brother, how can you be jealous of Aqi?"
Xiaohua said meaningfully: "I think the relationship between mother and Aqi is pretty good. We can get even closer and treat him like our own son!"
Mrs. Lin went up to hit her on the head, but Xiaohua bent down and moved aside.
Mrs. Lin had Aqi's help in cooking, and Aqi did many things at home. Xiaohua would act wild outside, and Mrs. Lin would not call her anymore.
Xiaohua thinks this is a good idea.
Mrs. Lin said, "After your sister came back, our family's life has become better and better. No matter what happens to your sister in the future, you must take care of her."
The three children nodded vigorously.
Xiaohua felt that she needed to express it in more detail: "Mom, even if my sister gets beaten up by the men in the village and her arms and legs are broken, I will definitely support her!"
Mrs. Lin quickly covered her mouth and said, "Hua'er, why are you saying such unlucky words so late at night? Pt. Pt. Pt. Pt...."
She pulled Xiaohua and spitted at her for a long time.
Shitou touched his head and said with some embarrassment, "I'm afraid my sister will beat a man in the village to death. If she really fails, I will go to jail for my sister..."
Before Shitou could finish his words, Mrs. Lin slapped him in the face.
"Oh my god, I'm going to beat you to death, you little bastard, what are you saying?" Mrs. Lin beat and cursed at the same time.
Shitou touched his aching back and said aggrievedly, "What's wrong? I'm telling the truth.
My sister is so strong, I was really afraid of something happening, so I challenged her first.
My sister threw me into the sand pit, and those guys were so ignorant that they went to get beaten..."
Finally, Mrs. Lin returned to her room, touching her chest. Of the three children, only Xiaoju was the least worrying...
