Splendid Twins

Chapter 114 Si Yao Returns Home

Si Laoer wanted to make the boy compensate for the dead saplings, but seeing how the boy was being talked down to, he softened his heart. The boy's father had gone to enlist in the army, and his mother didn't care about him. She was too strong, and he was afraid that the villagers would say that he was nitpicking with a child.

Just as I was about to speak, I heard the sound of horse hooves. Are there outsiders entering the village?

Everyone looked behind them and found that it was Si Yao who came back.

"Is the girl back?"

"Yao girl, where have you been?"

"Sister Yao..."

Si Yao smiled and nodded to greet them one by one. Liu Niang couldn't wait to come over and pull her around:

"Yao Yao, are you okay?"

"Are you injured? You've become thinner and darker."

Si Yao reached out and held Liu Niang's arm: "I'm fine, what are you doing?"

Si Laoer looked around the horse, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

The village chief told everyone what Zhu Gou'er had done. He wanted to plead for Gou'er, but it was inappropriate, after all, the boy had pulled out someone else's tree.

Alas, it is very difficult for him to be the village chief.

Si Yao didn't say anything after hearing that, and the villagers didn't dare to interrupt her. As the old saying goes, you should treat people differently according to their status. The villagers were still a little afraid of Si Yao in their hearts. Si Laoer and his wife went from being poor to being rich overnight, and most people were still not convinced. They didn't want to be too difficult with them out of consideration for their relationship, but they could be sarcastic in their words from time to time.

It's different for Si Yao. She grew up in a powerful family in the capital. Not to mention how capable she is, just think about the connections she has made in the past. If her descendants have any problems in the future, if they have to ask Yao girl for help, it is better to make friends with her than to offend her.

"I'll take care of this, everyone, please disperse."

Si Yao spoke softly. She really wanted to wash up and go to bed. What was going on?

"Yao girl, take a good rest now that you are back. Come and take a look at the vegetable fields in our village when you are free. It just rained the other day, and the tender vegetable sprouts have already emerged."

The village chief waited until everyone else had left before speaking. He wanted Yao to check it out to see if there were any omissions.

"Okay, I'll come see you tomorrow."

After the onlookers left, Zhu Gou'er remained standing without moving. Si Yao asked Liu Niang and Si Lao Er to go in first, and walked over lazily, saying expressionlessly:

"Keep your head up."

Zhu Gou'er's hanging hands clenched unconsciously, he slowly raised his chin, pursed his lips, and had an expression as if he was ready to die bravely.

"Oh, there's no one here now. Can you explain to me, the poor man, why are you pulling up the saplings?"

"I'm hungry……"

"What? Louder."

Zhu Gou'er uttered two words in a mosquito-like voice. Si Yao didn't hear clearly for a moment. He frowned slightly and leaned forward to get closer to him.

"What did you just say?"

Zhu Gou'er drooped his eyelashes and stopped talking. Si Yao's eyes flashed with impatience, and suddenly he shouted:

"Be a man, just do it. Why are you being so awkward? Speak!"

Zhu Gou'er was frightened by the shout and his face turned pale. He inadvertently caught a glimpse of Si Yao's frosty face and was immediately shocked by her majestic aura.

A drop of sweat ran down his cheek from his temple. He habitually wiped it with his sleeve and said with a choked voice:

"Someone asked me to pull up your tree seedlings, and he gave me bread to eat."

"who is it?"

Zhu Gou'er lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything. He had seen Si Yao's way of beating people, putting people in sacks and beating them to death. He once was robbing a bird's nest on a tree and he accidentally saw it. He was far away and climbing on the tree, so he saw it clearly, but he didn't tell anyone.

"If you don't tell me, I won't know?"

Si Yao's lips curled up playfully. She knew every household in this village well. Who would have the guts to provoke her?

If it's not provocation, then it's revenge!

Who else could it be!!

Si Yao spoke with cold eyes:

"Are you sure you don't want to tell me?"

Zhu Gou'er sensed Si Yao's anger, and fearing that he would also be beaten with a sack, he took two steps forward and said softly:

"It was Boss Si. I was digging for worms in the mountains. He came over and threw me half a piece of cake, saying that if I helped him, he would give me food."

Si Yao was so angry that she laughed. That bastard was really useless!

"Where's your mother?"

Zhu Gou'er shook his head: "She hasn't been back for several days."

Si Yao stared at the top of his head in silence for a moment, then spoke slowly:

"Zhu, Zhu Gou'er, let's do a business, is that okay?"

"what?"

"You also know that someone is doing bad things. I will hire you to help me patrol the mountains for one penny a day, and I will also provide food. Do you want to do it?"

"You won't hit me?"

Zhu Gou'er raised his head with shock on his face, and this time he finally looked directly at Si Yao.

"Beating you won't solve the problem, just tell me whether you're going to do it or not."

"Fuck, I'll do it!"

Zhu Gou'er had been looking miserable since he was caught, but now he couldn't help but jump for joy:

"Sister Yao, I will definitely do my best. I don't want money, just food to eat. Also, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done such a bad thing."

As he lowered his head with a guilty look on his face, Si Yao raised his eyebrows and said in a light tone:

"Okay, go back first and come to my house tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then, I'll be leaving first."

Si Yao watched Zhu Gou'er leave, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes. She had no obligation to educate the child, but the bastard who was behind it was even more hateful!

Seeing that she was still not coming in, Liu Niang called out:

"Yao Yao?"

"coming."

"Hurry, I've got some water for you. Soak in it for a while and take a nap. No matter how big the problem is, we can deal with it after you've had enough sleep."

Si Yao felt a warm feeling in her heart and chuckled:

"Where's my father?"

"In the backyard, he has loved livestock all his life. He raised a donkey until it was fat and strong. Now, he has set his eyes on your horse."

"hehe."

"Your father has been so rude lately that I don't bother to care about him. Sometimes I think that people are just mean. When life gets easier, they lose track of their own abilities..."

Si Yao heard the deep meaning in the words, reached out and took Liu Niang's arm, and said softly:

"Did Dad make you unhappy? Then don't get angry with yourself. I will always stand by you."

"Hahaha, okay, my daughter is good. Let's go, let's not talk about this anymore. Go wash up and I'll make you some chicken soup to nourish you."

The depression in Liu Niang's heart was dissipated by Si Yao's few words, and she walked towards the kitchen with a smile.

Seeing that she was happy, Si Yao looked towards the backyard after the people left. A dark light flashed across the depths of her eyes. She sincerely hoped that this family was complete and could make up for her loneliness in another world.

After returning to her room, she changed into pajamas and went to wash up. When she came back, she saw that several families in the village had built new houses. Aunt Huang's house was in the center of the village. The courtyard was very grand. Although it was not as spacious as hers, it was more exquisitely laid out. There were several pots of flowers in front of the door, a vegetable plot next to it, and a well not far away. With such an arrangement, it can be seen that Aunt Huang is a blessed person.

She had already changed the feng shui of Sijia Village, and with the addition of the spirit gathering formation, the people of Sijia Village benefited. Whether they were studying or doing business, they had fewer twists and turns, and it was easier and more stress-free than for other people.
