Chapter 3234 Yuan Niu's Idea
Chapter 3234 Yuan Niu's Idea
"Dean is really something... He should have come back. Our village has such good feng shui and beautiful girls. He had to find someone from outside. They just look like they're going to die."
……
Dean heard this and told An Kechun to take Yuan Niu with her, "Ah Chun, I'm going over there."
"Niu Niu, stand here with your uncle!"
An Kechun glanced coldly at the village women washing clothes; they all looked to be in their fifties or sixties. She told Yuan Niu to stay where she was with Dean, then turned and went to the riverbank. Speaking in the local dialect, she said, "The last person to talk about me like that has already been reincarnated. I'm not killing in front of children lately, so who among you doesn't want their tongue?"
Dean frowned. He never imagined that his return would cause such a stir, with Ah Chun being scolded and Niu Niu being gossiped about.
He was initially looking forward to coming back, but it didn't turn out as he had imagined.
Imagination is always beautiful, full of filters, but this is the reality he truly faces.
Yuan Niu had no idea what her aunt had been doing, nor what Uncle Dean was thinking. All she could think was: I don't understand, I still don't understand, what is he saying? Big brother, hurry up and make me some headphones!
Yuan Niu felt like she wasn't even human anymore.
Every day, all I hear is a lot of chattering, and even when I try to coordinate hand gestures, I still don't understand.
Ugh, so annoying.
I miss my older brother again.
Five minutes later, An Kechun turned around and kicked over the laundry basin that the group of people were washing clothes. The clothes and the basin rolled into the river.
Yuan Niu was stunned, her mouth agape. "Uncle, Auntie is going to fight!" She quickly ran over, stepping on the pebbles.
Dean hurried over as well.
After the two of them passed by, Yuan Niu pulled An Ke Chun back. The other group was about to get up and start a fight. Dean went over to block Yuan Niu and An Ke Chun, but An Ke Chun took out her wallet and threw a stack of cash at the group of people. She replied in dialect: "I'll compensate you. Learn to shut your mouths."
Next time, it won't be as simple as kicking the pot.
It was only when Dean arrived that An Kechun realized that three of those people were Dean's sisters and sisters-in-law from the same clan.
Sister-in-law/brother's wife?!
Younger than him? That means she's even younger than me? An Kechun was bewildered. In Dean's eyes, she was adorable.
Dean used to reprimand those people, saying, "Is it your place to gossip? Outsiders are gossiping, don't you know who your relatives are? Why are you insulting your own people?"
Here, men are everything.
Dean made veiled criticisms of several people, and even named a few for criticism. Finally, pointing to the money on the ground, and seeing everyone staring at it expectantly, An Kechun generously scattered the money, saying, "Whoever picks it up keeps it."
He turned around and said, "Ah Chun Niu Niu, we're leaving."
I still have important business to attend to.
I went to Viren's house.
His elders were all waiting at home. Dean led An Kechun and Yuan Niu inside, saying, "Children, go out and play with your younger siblings."
An Kechun: "No, let's just talk for a bit and then we'll be leaving."
Dean patted An Kechun's hand, "Niu Niu, if you're bored, play by the door for a while, but don't go too far. You can't go outside."
"Okay, Uncle, I'll go to the yard now."
They couldn't understand what Yuan Niu was saying.
Viren had gone to town to get a new phone and hadn't returned yet. Yuan Niu sat at the door watching the group of children, dressed in local clothes, all very young, including a little boy about the same age as her brother. But he was so thin and bony, while her son Xiao Yao was so muscular. Once, Nangong Yao had fallen asleep rolling around on the sofa, and when Nangong Zi came home and saw his chubby son, he thought he'd bring the child back inside to sleep.
That hug, "Xiaxia, didn't you buy too many heavy clothes for our son?"
An Kexia: "...That's pajamas, it's pure cotton."
Nangong Zi: "Hmm?"
An Kexia: "Your son is very sturdy."
Patriarch Nangong: "..."
He carried his son back to the bedroom, covered him with a blanket, and put his hands on his hips, saying, "This kid is just like his father."
Nangong Zi doesn't look fat; he's all muscle. Sometimes when he's sleeping, he can wake An Kexia up by putting one leg on her.
He used to close the door and deliberately tease An Kexia, pressing his whole body directly onto her. Not only could An Kexia not push him away, but the pressure also made it difficult for her to breathe.
But the father and son are definitely energetic.
That day at home, Nangong Zi used one arm to let his daughter hang on the horizontal bar, while using the other hand to hug his wife.
The young master, who had been playing ball, came home. "Dad, I want some too!"
With a weight hanging behind him, Nangong Zi could still climb the steps.
Nangong Yao also had a lot of strength; Yuan Niu's suitcase was full of junior high school books and was very heavy. She couldn't carry it and called her dad, but he wasn't home. Nangong Yao went over, lifted it up, and went out. "Sis, where are you going to put it?"
Yuan Niu was worried that her younger brother would get tired, so she went over to carry it too. Unexpectedly, Prince Nangong found it annoying and made things difficult for him. "Sister, just tell me where to put it."
Looking at other children the same age, and their wrists and bones, Yuan Niu thought of Viren, who was also thin and bony. She wondered: Are people here not getting enough to eat? Could it be a genetic disease?
Just then, inside the room, Dean said something, his voice getting a little louder.
Yuan Niu got up and looked over; An Ke Chun was also speaking.
Yuan Niu's phone translation was running out of time. She looked at the children opposite her and smiled: "I've got it!"
She bribed a few children with chocolates to listen to what was being said on the phone for her. After they understood what was being said, the children spoke into her phone and she translated it for them.
They gave out some chocolates first, and the children shared them.
Then they all went inside.
Ten minutes later, Yuan Niu came out and started taking out her phone. An Kechun lifted the curtain and looked into the yard. Yuan Niu was distributing chocolates. She felt at ease as long as she was in the yard.
Then he turned around and said, "Dean has repaid you a lot for your kindness over the years. You should be grateful for the money he gives you every quarter."
Dean reiterated that Yuan Niu was not his daughter, but she was more like his daughter than his own. He wanted to introduce Yuan Niu to Viren. Not to mention An Kechun, even Dean slammed his fist on the table and blushed.
A person who can't even pass an exam, who does nothing in the village, and who has a bad temper and unpredictable moods... how dare such a person speak?
An Kechun insulted the other party, who got angry and made things difficult for Dean. Dean protected An Kechun openly and secretly, and the other party took advantage of her kindness to repay the favor, which made An Kechun angry.
"Who paid for your house? Who has provided your family with income all these years? Is it out of gratitude? Dean was able to get into school and go abroad on his own because of his hard work. He studied abroad on his own!"
The little girl struggled to remember for a long time at the door, then ran out, saying, "Sister, hurry up, I'm about to forget!"
Then, another child listened.
