Chapter 106 - 106

Chapter 106 Counterattack against Li Big MouthYun Xu took out a small bag close to her body, pulled out a few ten-yuan bills from it, and handed them to Yun Ting. "Second sister, this is what Mom asked me to bring you. It's fifty yuan. Keep it safe. Also, here's mine for you too."Yun Ting took it without ceremony, "Oh...aren't you afraid I'll swallow it?""Take it if you want! What's mine is yours, just give your little brother a bite to eat.""Look at you, so pathetic..."Yun Ting put the money in his pocket, but actually threw it into his virtual space.Yun Xu cleaned and tidied the room herself, without Yun Ting needing any help or worry.Yun Ting went to take a look and was very pleased...All the educated youth learned that Yun Ting's younger brother had also come to the countryside. In fact, the whole village knew. For the first few days, wherever Yun Xu went, people stared at him, making this cheerful young man almost introverted."Second sister, could you talk to them and tell them to stop staring at me like that?""What am I supposed to say? Am I supposed to gather the whole village and say,'Stop staring at my brother!' People would laugh at me and say I'm narcissistic. Let them look! In a few days, when you want them to look at you, they won't even give you a second glance. You should cherish what you have now!""Okay then..."Yun Xu arrived just in time for spring planting, which was fortunate, at least much better than the autumn harvest.This kid adapts pretty quickly. Don't let his delicate appearance fool you; he's a real workhorse.Because Yun Ting is quite popular in the village, everyone takes good care of her younger brother. Of course, there are a few oddballs, such as Li Big Mouth, who has always been dissatisfied with Yun Ting but can't beat her. Now, seeing that her younger brother looks young, she just wants to take the opportunity to bully him.Unfortunately, Yun Xu was assigned to the same plot as her to plant corn.On the first day, Li Big Mouth didn't make any other moves, mainly wanting to observe what kind of personality Yun's younger brother, the little educated youth, had.When Yun Xu first arrived, he worked very diligently, which made her think that he was different from Yun Ting, so she began to have other ideas.She started the next day.What she didn't know was that the older sister knew she was in the same group as her and had already reminded her younger brother." Educated Youth Yun, right?" Li Big Mouthglanced at him and slammed the hoe on the ground. "The newbie doesn't know the rules, so stick with me! I'll dig the hole, you plant the seed, and cover it with soil evenly, you hear me?"Yun Xu nodded, squatted down, and grabbed a handful of corn seeds. He'd only planted a few rows when Li Big Mouth deliberately scooped up dirt near his feet with her hoe, splashing clods of soil all over his trousers. "Oh dear, sorry, nephew," she said with a forced smile, "this lousy thing won't listen to me."Yun Xu remained silent, quietly shifting to the side. When Li Big Mouth swung his hoe again, he suddenly cried out "Ouch!" and jumped up, spilling half a bag of corn seeds. " Auntie! That hoe almost choked my hand!" he exclaimed, frowning, his voice just loud enough for the people nearby to hear. "My sister always tells me you're the most meticulous worker, how come today..."Li Big Mouth's face stiffened, and Aunt Zhangnext to him chimed in, " Li Big Mouth, take it easy. Child is new and inexperienced. If you hurt him again, his sister will never forgive you."She held her breath and didn't say anything, then deliberately dug the hole extra deep. Yun Xu glanced at it, remained silent, and scattered twice as many seeds into the deep hole. Li Big Mouth, with his sharp eyes, immediately shouted, "What's wrong with you, kid? Trying to squander money?!"" Auntie, have you forgotten?" Yun Xu looked innocent. "Yesterday, the scorekeeper said that the corn you planted last time had a low germination rate because the holes were too deep. I thought I'd scatter more to save a few plants, so you wouldn't get scolded by the team leader later."These words left Li Big Mouth speechless, and the people around her chuckled softly. Everyone knew that she wanted to get revenge on LittleEducated Youth Yun. Since she couldn't beat her, she was secretly trying to make things difficult for Little Educated Youth Yun's younger brother. But Little Educated Youth Yun's younger brother was no pushover either.She was both angry and anxious. The hoe in her hand fell to the ground with a "clatter," and she squatted in the furrow for a long time without getting up—it turned out that all her efforts this morning had been choked by this half-grownchild." Li Big Mouth, what's wrong with you? Is this your first time planting corn? Why are you digging such a deep hole? Have you eaten too much?" Aunt Liu called out to her from the other side."Mind your own business..."Yun Xu secretly curled the corners of his mouth, picked up the hoe and handed it over: " Auntie, have you rested enough? Shall we continue? My sister said that if we're in your group, we have to hurry up and finish, or we won't make it for lunch.""Haha..." The person next to him burst out laughing.Li Big Mouth was furious. Those two bastards surnamed Yun were both cunning and scheming; they were infuriating.After that, she didn't dare to cause any more trouble.Now, news has spread that Little Educated Youth Yun's younger brother is indeed LittleEducated Youth Yun's sibling, just like Li Big Mouth, who is furious.Yun Ting heard about this from Caiyun, and secretly felt smug. "My brother, Yun Ting's brother, could he be a pushover?" she thought. "Hmph..."This incident has shown everyone that Yun's younger brother is not someone to be trifled with.However, most people in the village didn't have such bad intentions. They couldn't even manage their own affairs, so why would they bother bullying others? Were they just bored? They weren't even hungry themselves! They didn't have the time or energy that Li Big Mouth had."Sis, what are we having for dinner tonight?" Yun Xu asked anxiously as soon as she got back from work."Braised pork with rice, don't wait to eat, hurry up and start the fire."The cured pork was brought by Yun Xu atMother Yun's request. She originally planned to save it for her daughter to eat when she came home for the New Year, but due to heavy snow, she couldn't go back. Since her son came over, she had to bring it for her little girl to try!Yun Xu didn't slack off either, and obediently went over to help start the fire."Second sister, when are you going to take me up the mountain for a stroll?""Want to go?"Yun Xu nodded quickly, like a chick pecking at rice."Not now, let's wait a while! This winter it snowed heavily, and many animals have been hungry for so long. They'll definitely be out looking for food now, and if they encounter a wild beast, we're doomed.""Alright! Let them eat their fill first!"Whether Yun Ting's mouth was blessed or not, that night, everyone heard wolves howling coming from the back mountain."Awoo awoo... of."The villagers were all panicked. They thought it was probably a pack of wolves and warned everyone not to go down the mountain!The Brigade Leader didn't dare to sleep anymore and quickly got up to gather the able-bodied men in the village.We need to prepare early, because if the wolf pack really comes down from the mountain, it could be very serious.The male educated youth also gathered together; at this time, everyone needed to unite.Yun Ting pulled her younger brother aside and whispered, "Help if you can, but don't try to be a hero.""Second sister, don't worry! I'll be careful."Yun Ting couldn't sleep and also planned to go check on things. Coincidentally, Yang Qingqinghad the same idea, so the two went together.The Brigade Leader frowned when he saw them. "You two girls, what are you doing here? Go back inside.""Uncle Captain, we're not just here to join in the fun. We're just checking things out. We at least have some skills; maybe we can be of help?"The Brigade Leader then realized that Yun Tingfrequently went up the mountain, so she must indeed have some skills, and therefore did not insist that they go back."Then be careful later."
