Splendid Twins

Old man Si sat in the main room with a sullen face, looking around one by one. No one else dared to say a word at this moment. In their ears was the sound of Si Yao yelling from next door.

"Old man, why don't you call the village chief..."

Mrs. Si wiped her eyes, her face full of worry.

"Third brother, go call the village chief. Second brother, you and your family go back first."

Old Man Si was silent for a while before he spoke. His cloudy eyes were evasive and unnatural when he looked at Si Yao.

"Go back? Where?"

Si Yao crossed his arms and spoke in a cold tone.

"What are you doing, you little rascal? My brother Yao is suffering right now, don't you have any sense?"

Mrs. Si gritted her teeth and murmured.

Si Yao glanced at Mrs. Si and sneered:

"I've said it before, it's easier to invite a god than to send him away. It was grandma who drove us out first, and today you called us back. Now you want us to go back. Why do you let us order you around?"

Old Man Si looked at Mrs. Si with a sullen expression, then walked around Si Yao and yelled at Old Man Si:

"Take it back quickly!"

Si Yao stepped forward, blocking Si Lao Er's steps. Her pretty face was cold, and there was a frightening majesty between her eyebrows:

"As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Am I right, old man?"

Si Yao looked at Old Man Si meaningfully, sizing him up and down with undisguised eyes, making the already guilty Old Man Si even more flustered, and a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes towards Si Yao.

"How can you, Yao girl, speak to your elders like this? You are so disrespectful!"

Zhang stood at the side, with her two daughters beside her, and next to her were Liu Niang and Si Laoer's family. Si Qing glanced at Zhang with cold eyes, walked to the front and said:

"Grandpa, grandma, my cousin's injury has nothing to do with Yaoyao. Our family has been kicked out, and now we're being called back. Repeated behavior like this makes the villagers laugh at us, and it will also affect my cousin's reputation. If he passes the imperial examination in the future, I'm afraid he will be attacked by political enemies and his family will be in turmoil. Please think about my cousin."

Si Qing glanced at Si Yao with an apologetic look in his eyes. Seeing that Old Man Si remained silent, he spoke again:

"Besides, cousin Jing is getting married next year, so it would be bad if rumors spread."

Si Jing was originally watching the fun, but when she heard Si Qing mention her, a hint of disgust flashed across her eyes, but she felt that what he said made sense.

If her in-laws knew about these bad things, they would probably gossip about me.

"You are such a thoughtful child. Dad, Mom, look..."

Zhang looked a little unhappy. She had damaged her health by giving birth to a daughter, and she could only rely on her daughter and son-in-law when she was old. If these things affected Sister Jing's marriage, it would not be worth it!

Mrs. Si wanted to say something, but when she saw Old Man Si's ugly face, she just snorted lightly and said nothing more.

Old Man Si looked at Old Second Si with a gloomy expression, a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes:

"You should just move back. It's more comfortable for a big family to live together. The thatched house is the property of the village. If your family lives here for too long, people will inevitably gossip about you."

Si Yao raised her eyebrows when she heard this, a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she looked at her father:

"Okay, Dad, Mom, you guys go clean our house first, and my brother and I will move the things."

After saying this, the three siblings walked out of the house without paying any attention to other people's expressions.

Soon, Si Lao San led the village chief in. Old Si drove everyone else out of the room and asked Si Po Zi to look after Si Yao. He, Si Lao Da, Si Lao San and the village chief talked quietly...

After a while, the village chief left with a gloomy face.

Si Yao returned to the hut and threw all her belongings into the space. She packed up all the other things that were not needed for the time being and put them together. She also took out a few clothes for Liu Niang. Si Qing and Si Yang looked at everything in the hut with reluctant expressions. They were not used to living there at first, but now they couldn't bear to leave. Every piece of firewood in it was picked up by them personally.

"First collect a few things that can be used, and temporarily pack up the others and put them here. Believe me, we won't be able to live in the old house for long!"

Si Yao had packed her things and came to see how the two were doing, but she found nothing.

"Yaoyao, are we too useless..."

Si Yang didn’t think he was so incompetent before, but these days his sister made all his food and clothes for him, and she also bought them pens and ink. Looking at her adopted brother, he, as a brother, is really useless!

"Don't think about anything else. Once the matter at the old hospital is over, you can go to the academy. It's not too late to work hard now."

Si Yao originally thought that only Si Qing was sensitive, but she didn't expect that Si Yang, who was always playful, would also fall into self-doubt.

"I know. Please sit down for a while. I'll be there soon."

Si Qing glanced at Si Yao, then pulled Si Yang to start cleaning up. Si Yao sat beside them with a faint smile on her face, occasionally giving them a reminder.

The three siblings took some changes of clothes, pots and pans, and packed up and put away everything else. She didn't want to give her things to that family to cause trouble.

When the three of them returned to the old courtyard, Si Yao saw an unexpected man, Lu Yuan!

Si Yao walked over slowly and saw Si Yao's eyes were closed, he was lying straight on the bed, he looked like he was asleep, Lu Yuan was sitting on the doorstep guarding him like a door god.

As soon as Mrs. Si came out with the bowl, she saw Si Yao standing next to her. She said with a cold face:

"What are you standing here for? Take this bowl of sugar water inside and feed it to your brother!"

Si Yao first looked at Lu Yuan, then looked at Si Pozi slowly:

"you sure?"

Mrs. Si was so angry that she suppressed her anger. This little bitch was really good at making people angry. Just as she was about to say something, a big hand reached out from the side and took the bowl away.

Si Yao watched Lu Yuan take the bowl and walk straight into the room. Si Yao was sleeping soundly. Lu Yuan tilted his hand holding the bowl, and the whole bowl of water poured onto Si Yao's face, startling Si Yao so much that he sat up:

"Ah! Help! Go away!"

Mrs. Si pushed Si Yao aside and hurried into the house to wipe the water off Si Yao's face, glaring at Lu Yuan with fire in her eyes:

"Mad man, you want to scald my dear grandson to death!"

The others all came out after hearing the noise. Old Man Si wanted to speak, but Si Yao spoke up instead:

"What's wrong with you? Grandpa? Grandma? Why am I in bed? Where did the water come from?"

When Mrs. Si heard this, she quickly said, "My dear grandson, you really, really scared me to death. Are you still feeling uncomfortable now?"

"Brother Yao, how are you? Tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

"Brother Yao? Do you know who I am?"

"Sir, why do you ask that?"

Si Yao looked puzzled. When he saw Lu Yuan standing beside his bed, a hint of disdain flashed across his eyes. When he saw Si Yao, he froze, his eyes fixed on her...

"Are you okay? Brother Yao is okay, I will say that my good grandson is the reincarnation of Wenquxing..."

Mrs. Si continued to speak anxiously. Old Man Si breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Yuan and said:

"Lu Yuan, thank you for guarding the door for my brother Yao. How about this? You have to come again tomorrow and let me cook for you and give you a red envelope. What do you think?"

The village chief was also there, and seeing this, he said, "Let Aunt Si make a thick coat for A Yuan. Yao'er's soul is unstable, and A Yuan is strong and tough, so he won't dare to get dirty, but we can't let A Yuan suffer."

Old Man Si nodded quickly: "Okay, okay."

As long as Brother Yao is fine, anything is fine.

Si Yao glanced at Lu Yuan calmly. It turned out that this man could also act as a door god!

She just gave Si Yao a fear spell. People with bad intentions would infinitely magnify the fear, and it would disappear when the time is up. She didn't expect them to let Lu Yuan guard the door! !

Lu Yuan was still dressed in rags, his hair and beard were tangled together, his facial features could not be seen clearly, only his rough outline could be seen. He was very sensitive and naturally caught Si Yao's gaze. Seeing her gentle eyes and fair complexion standing next to him, Lu Yuan looked at Si Yao, then at Si Qing and Si Yang next to Si Yao, with an unclear look in his eyes. He glanced awkwardly at the village chief and turned away.

The village chief didn't understand what was going on. When he saw him leave, he was stunned for a moment and said quickly, "Lu Yuan, wait for me."

After the village chief left, all members of the Si family met today.

Old Man Si said a few words to Mrs. Si behind her back. Mrs. Si went into the kitchen cursing and put a few handfuls of brown rice into the pot. Si Yao's family also sat in the main room with half a bowl of coarse corn rice in their bowls. The whole family crowded around the dining table. There was silence for a while and no one spoke.
