Chapter 44: What? This is your turf?

Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu also were startled by this.

After calming down, they hurriedly helped Jia Zhangshi up.

When they saw Jia Zhangshi's pants were wet, Qin Huairu's brows tightened together.

Sitting on the chair, Jia Zhangshi's complexion remained pallid, still shaken.

The sky is bright today, yet just after she cursed Lin Shengli and Yi Zhonghai, a booming thunder struck, as if hitting her head…

What does this mean?

Could Lin Shengli be the Son of Heaven?

Does Heaven forbid me from scolding him?

Hmph, I'll scold him anyway!

At that moment, she felt her pants were already wet.

In an instant she also remembered that she had just been scared into wetting herself.

She involuntarily squeezed her legs together and glared fiercely at Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu felt aggrieved.

You peed yourself; what does that have to do with me?

Why do you try to kill me with a look?

Jia Dongxu let out a light sigh and said:

"Mother, please stop always scolding people."

"I'm afraid I'll be punished."

Qin Huairu: "Yes, Mother, you really shouldn't be so naggy."

"If others hear it, that would be terrible."

"If Eldest Uncle hears it, he'll definitely get angry with you."

"Sigh, if you don't heed our advice, our lives will truly become difficult."

"You've already made Eldest Uncle your enemy; how will you get along in the future?"

"And Dong Xu, you need to pull yourself together."

"The one who tied the bell must untie it."

"As long as Mother goes to Eldest Uncle and sincerely apologizes, I think Eldest Uncle will certainly let bygones be bygones."

Jia Dongxu thought for a moment, slapped his thigh and said:

"Right, Mother, let's go apologize."

Qin Huairu: "Wait."

"Wait until nightfall; after they finish cooking, you go together with the kids; then they'll surely let you stay for dinner, and you can go with the flow…"

Jia Dongxu: "Yes, yes, yes, that's the plan."

"Still, my daughter‑in‑law is clever."

The words hung in the air.

Suddenly, Bang Geng's shout came:

"Grandma, I'm hungry!"

The voice reached everyone.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Bang Geng come in with Xiao Dang and Huaihua.

Jia Zhangshi hummed and muttered inwardly:

"This kid, does he want to see me become a laughingstock?"

"I was just about to change my pants, and he came back."

Jia Dongxu: "Son, take the two little sisters to your Eldest Uncle's house."

Bang Geng: "Why? Does he have good food there?"

Jia Dongxu: "Do you think watermelon is tasty?"

Bang Geng exclaimed: "He has watermelons at his house?"

These days, an ordinary family is grateful just to have enough rice; fruit is unimaginable.

But Bang Geng has never lacked a mouth since childhood.

He's been spoiled.

Not only can he often eat meat, but fruit is also regularly available.

Otherwise he wouldn't have become chubby.

Moreover, he inherited Jia Zhangshi's good genes; his skill at being cheeky is unrivaled.

If he isn't given anything to buy, he'll lie on the ground rolling around…

Besides, Shazhu spoils him without principle.

Who would he be afraid of?

Jia Dongxu nodded: "Hmm, not only watermelons, also cherries. Have you eaten them? Do you remember what they look like?"

Bang Geng thought, shook his head, and said:

"I don't remember, hum, it's your fault; if you gave me cherries often, I wouldn't forget."

"I won't talk to you anymore; I'm going to eat watermelon and cherries."

Qin Huairu: "Bang Geng, wait."

Bang Geng, looking anxious, stamped his foot: "Mom, what are we still waiting for?"

"If we wait any longer, they'll have finished eating."

Qin Huairu: "You can't go like that."

Bang Geng, upon hearing that, let out a "Waa" and started crying.

Qin Huairu felt both a headache and heartache.

This kid has been spoiled rotten.

Jia Zhangshi glared at Qin Huairu and scolded:

"What are you trying to do?"

Qin Huairu let out a light sigh and said:

"Mom, please hear me out first."

As she spoke, turning to Bang Geng, she continued:

"Bang Geng, don't just go straight into your Eldest Grandfather's house like that."

"He has guests over."

"Going straight in would be rude and unmannerly."

"Just take your sister and play outside his door."

"If your Eldest Grandfather and Eldest Grandmother see you, they'll give you something to eat."

Jia Dongxu nodded: "Right, listen to your mom, don't go in yet."

"If they don't give you anything, then go in."

Xiao Dang: "Dad, what if we go in and they still don't give us anything?"

Jia Dongxu: "Impossible, go ahead—just play outside his door."

Qin Huairu: "Also, don't say we taught you that."

Bang Geng impatiently said: "I know."

After saying that.

He was the first to rush out of the gate.

Xiao Dang took Xiao Huaihua's hand and also walked out.

Arriving at Yi Zhonghai's doorstep, Bang Geng let out a loud cough, then peered inside.

He coughed loudly to remind Yi Zhonghai and Yi Dama that he had arrived and to quickly give him some watermelon to eat.

Upon seeing Zheng Guangming sitting inside chewing on watermelon, he involuntarily gulped.

At the same time, he felt very unbalanced in his heart.

"Hmph, why call a blind man to eat and not me?"

"Really, no eyes."

"Isn't it wasteful for a blind man to eat something so delicious?"

Bang Geng muttered, then let out another loud cough.

Then.

He walked back and forth, humming a tune softly.

In his view, he would soon have watermelon to eat.

So his mood was wonderful.

Inside the house.

Besides the Deaf Old Lady, everyone heard Bang Geng's muttering.

Zheng Guangming, being somewhat sensitive, stopped his watermelon-eating motion.

Lin Shengli said softly: "Guangming, it's fine, go ahead and eat yours, ah."

"There's plenty more—eat if you want, enjoy it fully."

"With Shengli Ge here, you have nothing to fear."

Zheng Guangming bit his lip and nodded, moved.

Yi Zhonghai, sitting beside the Deaf Old Lady, let out a light sigh and whispered to her.

The Deaf Old Lady's face changed involuntarily, and she shouted loudly:

"Just ignore him! This little brat is getting more and more outrageous."

Guan Yushan: "Mm, the old lady is right."

"This kid, eighty percent likely was provoked by the adults."

"I say we just feast today and ignore their family."

Deaf Old Lady: "Right, that's settled."

"Let him watch and get anxious."

After waiting a while, seeing no one bring out watermelon, Bang Geng couldn't help cursing in his heart:

"Old fogey, don't you know I've come?"

"Blind or deaf?"

Just then, several kids ran over.

They too had heard that Yi Zhonghai's family had watermelon today.

They wanted to come take a look.

These days, watermelon is a high-end commodity.

If you can't eat it, just looking can also stave off hunger.

Among these kids were Liang Ladi's two children, Sanmao and Xiuer.

As soon as Bang Geng saw them, he instantly became unsettled.

With more people, his share of the watermelon will definitely be less.

He let out a muffled grunt, pointed at Sanmao and the others, and angrily demanded:

"What are you doing here?"

"This is my territory."
