Chapter 337: He wanted to see, which old lady was acting against the wind?

~8 min read 1,412 words

Facts proved that wherever there is a Crouching Dragon, there must be a Fledgling Phoenix.

Not even two days had passed since the events of Amei moving into her new home, and another old lady had come to Shen Man's house to probe.

Pei Lao Ye Zi was washing diapers, looking up from time to time to glance at the few little ones playing in the sand in the courtyard, revealing a knowing smile.

Lu Lao Ye Zi and Old Lin Tou were playing Chinese chess under the shade of a tree in the next courtyard, occasionally shaking a banana-leaf fan, feeling comfortable and at ease.

Suddenly, a burst of knocking on the door interrupted the peaceful atmosphere in the courtyard.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

"Is anyone there?"

"I'm just passing by. It's too hot, I'm a bit thirsty, and I'd like to ask for a cup of water."

The old lady outside was quite clever, adopting a policy of gentle persuasion.

Pei Lao Ye Zi heard the commotion; with a physician's benevolent heart, he thought it wouldn't be good if the old lady outside suffered heatstroke and fainted at his doorstep.

So, he peeked through the crack in the door and saw only one person, thinking it should be fine, so he opened the courtyard gate and said:

"Wait a moment, just stay at the door for a bit, I'll go pour you some water."

"Hey, thank you so much."

Seeing a tall and thin older brother come to open the door, the old lady's smile grew even wider.

After the person left, she sat on the threshold stone, leaning forward to examine the small courtyard, nodding continuously with a very satisfied expression.

"Ge Ge, bad."

Xiao Nuomi was holding a small shovel, and the pile of sand she had accumulated was kicked by her brother, causing it to collapse!

Her round eyes couldn't help but glare at her brother, her pouting appearance looking exactly like a pufferfish.

Xiao Mantou leisurely retracted his foot, turned around, and faced his sister with his bottom, continuing to sunbathe and sleep in.

"Bad."

Seeing this, Xiao Nuomi became even angrier, so she painstakingly used her shovel to scoop sand, dumping it all onto her brother's feet.

Although one scoop couldn't hold much, many scoops would add up; she was going to bury her brother's feet!

"Hey, you little girl, how can you bully a boy?"

The old lady who had been sitting on the threshold stone at the door suddenly ran over, making a move to snatch the small shovel from Xiao Nuomi's hand.

Xiao Nuomi instinctively sensed danger and began to wail loudly.

"Wa wa wa!"

"Zuzu!"

"Meow."

Unexpectedly, a familiar figure swooped down from the roof and swiped a paw across the back of the old lady's hand!

"Ah!"

The old lady felt the pain and let out a sharp cry.

It was also at this moment that Lian Lian, with quick eyes and fast hands, grabbed a handful of sand and threw it all over the strange old lady, her little mouth chattering:

"Get lost!"

"Bad person!"

Xiao Mantou didn't know when he had flipped over and stood up, shielding his sister.

His dark eyes glared at the old lady who had suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

The startled Xiao Nuomi had her attention drawn to the cat that had descended from the sky—it was Tangyuan!

"Who are you, coming to my house to bully children?!"

"I, I was just passing by, thirsty, asking for a cup of water. I just saw this little girl bullying a boy and wanted to make her stop, do you need to react so strongly?"

"Which eye did you see—oh no, why do you care?

It has nothing to do with you, why are you so meddlesome?! Are you sick?"

"Hey, how are you talking? The back of my hand was scratched by the cat you keep! You must compensate me for nutrition fees..."

"Meow."

Tangyuan arched its back, staring fiercely at the strange old lady, ready to attack at any moment.

"Who told you to be meddlesome? You wanted to bully my little ones, and my Tangyuan is loyal to its master, so what?

If you're not convinced, shall we invite the Political Commissar's people to judge?!"

"You, I don't care, your cat scratched me, you must compensate!"

The old lady revealed her true colors, hands on her hips, and began to argue with the blunt-spoken Lu Lao Ye Zi.

Tangyuan then retracted its attack stance and slowly returned to normal.

"Meow."

"Meow meow meow."

"Head pat."

The three little ones hadn't seen Tangyuan for a while, and now that they saw it suddenly, they forgot the danger just now, their minds filled only with love for the cat.

Tangyuan had just come out of seclusion and wanted to test its skills when it sensed its little masters were in danger, so without a word, it flashed to the roof, and then it was a hair's breadth away...

"Eh, Tangyuan is home."

Lu Lao Ye Zi heard the commotion, abandoned the chessboard he was about to lose, and hurried over to see what was happening.

First seeing a strange old lady, then seeing Tangyuan protecting its masters, there was nothing he didn't understand.

"Meow."

Tangyuan gave Grandpa a look, which counted as a greeting.

The old lady was completely ignored, clamoring:

"Hey, what's wrong with your family? Letting a vicious cat hurt people!"

"I don't care, you must compensate me!"

"I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"

Hearing the commotion, Lin Lao Ye Zi didn't care about the chess game anymore, shaking his banana-leaf fan leisurely as he walked over, looking like he was watching a show, looking at Old Pei playfully.

Pei Lao Ye Zi had originally acted out of kindness to pour a cup of water for the old lady begging for it; he hadn't expected that the consequence of being soft-hearted would be inviting trouble. Suddenly, the bowl of water in his hand felt hot—give it to her to drink?

As if!

"Gulp gulp!"

In one breath, he drank it all himself, not leaving a single drop for her!

"You old lady are so rude, coming to my house and wanting to bully my great-granddaughter right away, and getting scratched by my beloved pet—you deserved it!"

"My Tangyuan is very well-behaved; it's not an ordinary cat, it's a meritorious cat that understands human nature. Why don't you ask yourself why you were scratched by my Tangyuan?"

"Exactly, exactly, my Tangyuan is loyal and protects its master, it didn't take the initiative to scratch you. Who knows if you have age spots or other bacteria on you."

The old lady was left speechless by the taunts. At this time, Pei Lao Ye Zi, who hadn't spoken, opened his mouth: "Old Lu, stop talking."

Just when she thought he was helping her speak, the other party gave her a cold glance and added a finishing blow—

"I'm going to get the medical kit to disinfect Tangyuan's claws; who knows if this old hag has bacteria on her."

"?"

The old lady had a shocked face; what did she hear?

At the very least, she was the flower among the old ladies in the village; other old men were always showing her favor, so why wasn't her charm working now?

"Are you a military dependent who just arrived at the Jiashuyuan? Who is your son or son-in-law, and what is his name? I'll let my grandson and granddaughter-in-law talk to your son or son-in-law about the compensation."

Lu Lao Ye Zi didn't want to waste his breath and stated his position directly.

He wanted to see, which family's old lady was acting against the wind?

It was just right to set an example and give Section Commander Duan and the others a reason to clean up the Jiashuyuan!

Otherwise, these kinds of people were like flies, flying over from time to time to disgust you; it was quite uncomfortable.

"My son is—"

Just when the old lady thought they were afraid, her son's voice came from outside the house as if the sky had fallen—

"Mother!"

"Why is your madness acting up again, running out and causing trouble!"

Her good son, in one stride, covered her mouth tightly—

"Mmph mmph mmph!"

What are you doing, son, why are you covering my mouth?

Shut up, Mother!

You've gotten yourself into big trouble! ===== CHAPTER 338 =====
