Protagonist:

Chai Mi

"You Fu... your brother's wife and my Qi Gu, nothing else to say, but their voices are truly loud." Liu Zhanggui patted Chai Youfu's shoulder, speaking meaningfully.

Chai Youfu lowered his head awkwardly.

"Let's go, go in and see. What's happened... all this... really... what's the point..."

The group entered the courtyard.

Chai Mi looked at the basin; the dough had risen about enough. She pinched it with her finger, felt it had risen sufficiently, then poured in some water, preparing to knead the dough and steam buns.

Just as she was about to start, Chai Xiu ran in: "Sister, your guess was right. The Village Chief didn't want to go at all; Second Uncle dragged him there."

Chai Mi shook her head and pursed her lips: "Chai Youfu likes watching a big scene. Who knows what schemes he's cooking behind his back... He came today, I felt something was up; most likely he's eyeing that piece of land behind the mountain. But he was too embarrassed to bring it up, and I didn't give him a chance to speak. Let them keep making trouble... they watch the show, I perform. Anyway, there's an audience, so I don't fear no one will appreciate it."

Chai Xiu didn't understand what Chai Mi meant. Just now Chai Mi had sent her out to check things out, she went, and came back to answer truthfully, so she had nothing else to do.

Chai Mi saw Chai Xiu fidgeting and asked with a frown: "Want a soda? Or an ice cream?"

Chai Xiu kept her head down, blushing: "No need, there's not much money at home anyway."

Chai Mi sighed, knowing Chai Xiu was sensible... but this scorching weather was indeed hard to endure.

Northern heat differed from southern heat. The south was like a steamer; the north was a burning heat. Especially in Liaoxi, where the altitude was a bit high, when it got hot, it could scald a person's face.

If you weren't a local, you could easily be baked to death.

Chai Mi rummaged in her pocket and took out one yuan; big-kiln drinks were only five cents each now: "Go buy two bottles of big-kiln; Sister wants one too."

Chai Xiu grunted and went out.

Chai Mi didn't actually want to drink it herself; she was just afraid that if only one bottle was bought, Chai Xiu wouldn't dare drink it.

Sigh... this silly younger sister.

After a while, Chai Xiu came back, carrying two bottles of big-kiln, and gave one to Chai Mi.

Chai Mi opened the bottle cap, then handed it to Chai Xiu, took the other bottle from her hand, opened its cap, and took a sip.

Summer drinks, drinking them, felt refreshing.

Though this cheap drink had lots of coloring, Chai Mi had died once; would she care about a bit of coloring?

She had long been "immune to all poisons."

"Sister, aren't you going to look?" Chai Xiu asked softly.

"I can't go; I'm afraid I can't resist giving Xiao Doubao two more slashes." Chai Mi said with a smile: "The old house now has only three people: Lao Diao Pozi, Xiao Doubao, and Er Shazi Chai Dajun. Not one of them is someone I want to see. I really fear I can't hold back and cause a death."

Chai Mi took a sip of soda, paused, and said: "Let them bite each other like dogs first; just watch the show. They're not afraid of losing face, so let them lose face. Watching the show..."

Chai Xiu smiled shyly, then pursed her lips, sipping her drink carefully, as if drinking nectar.

"I just don't know what mood Liu Zhanggui is in now. I reckon he doesn't want to go either..." Chai Mi said to herself with a smile: "Being Village Chief, going to the old house to stir up trouble every day, the pay isn't even enough. If I were Liu Zhanggui, I'd hide. Those two plump old ladies, not one of them is any good. Liu Zhanggui can't control them; if Chai Zhongxiao were home it would be manageable, but if Chai Zhongxiao isn't home, those two things deserving of death by a thousand cuts could turn the whole village into chaos."
