Splendid Twins

The village chief knew that the young man in front of him was brought by Si Yao, so he just said:

"Since you have chosen our Sijia Village House, then I, as the village chief, will definitely help you with it. So, just go ahead and do it. If you need anything, just come to me."

Wang Dahu was wearing decent clothes and had a perfect smile on his face:

"I feel relieved with your words. Please help me find a few more laborers. They will provide me with 20 cents a day, no food, only tea."

"Okay, okay. I'll go get someone right away."

Twenty cents a day is quite good. Now that the villagers are free, they are all rushing to do this job.

Si Yao walked towards the thatched cottage with Liu Niang's arm in her hand with a cold expression. On the way, she met Aunt Huang, who was in high spirits. She saw Si Yao and took the initiative to speak:

"What's wrong with Yao girl?"

"It's okay, auntie, what's wrong? She looks very happy."

Si Yao saw that her face was wrinkled with deep wrinkles from laughing. Aunt Huang was the village intelligence expert, so it looked like good news was coming.

"Hey, there's a new family coming to our village to build a big brick and tile house. The village chief wants to hire a few people to help. It's 20 cents a day. I've already signed up my wife. Hey, Si Laoer, you should go too. Not many people know about this now, otherwise it won't be your turn."

Aunt Huang felt sorry for Liu Niang, and since Si Yao was quite polite to her, she said something.

Si Yao smiled when she heard this. Si Lao Er behind her was delighted and said to Aunt Huang very politely:

"Okay, I'll go take a look first. Thank you, Aunt Huang."

"Dad, I want to go too."

Si Yang's eyes lit up, he wanted to go and earn money, Si Qing also wanted to go, Aunt Huang laughed when she saw this:

"You three should hurry up, or you won't be able to eat!"

"Aunt Huang, I don't want to eat fart, I want to eat meat."

Si Yang turned his head and shouted to Aunt Huang while running, which made everyone laugh.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Aunt Huang's eyes were flashing with gossip, and her curious look made Si Yao a little overwhelmed.

"Alas, Yao Ge'er was beaten and said he was frightened, so he needed to find a strong man to calm him down. My mother-in-law asked me to sew a thick coat for Lu Yuan, but I have nothing... Since the fight started, our family has not had a single bite to eat. We are going to go to the thatched hut to boil some water to fill our stomachs."

Liu Niang whispered the whole story with tears in her eyes, and Si Yao wiped her face for her.

"Oh, this is terrible. Your mother-in-law is really... If you ask me, I'm afraid she has offended the ancestors. No matter what, your Si Lao Er is still Si Yao's elder. It's a bit bad for the whole family to serve him, a junior."

Aunt Huang lowered her voice when she spoke the following words. She had a fight with Mrs. Si over a basket of wild vegetables some years ago, so she couldn't stand this old woman!

"Aunt Huang, don't say that. My mother-in-law is just a little impatient..."

"I understand, I understand. Then you guys should go back quickly."

Aunt Huang knew very well what kind of person Liu Niang was. With such a soft and soft personality, she would definitely be suppressed by that old woman!

Seeing Si Yao and Liu Niang walking away, Aunt Huang put her hands in her sleeves and yawned as she walked towards the busiest place in the village. There were already many women sitting under the big willow tree. When they saw Aunt Huang coming, they all greeted her:

"Aunt Huang is here. Is your husband going out to earn money?"

"Why not? I've already taken a place with the village chief."

"It's better to be rich. As long as you have money, there will be people who will do anything for you, and they will rush to do it!"

"Yes, I hope to be born into a wealthy family in my next life..."

"Don't you think about whether you have that life or not? People still have to do good deeds and live well in this life. Who knows about the next life?"

"Speaking of this, let me tell you, Si Yao was beaten secretly and no one knows who did it. Mrs. Si called Si Laoer's family back from the thatched cottage to take care of her grandson. It is said that Si Yao was frightened..."

"Frightened? Then, what should we do? I saw Boss Si walking out of the village with a gloomy face..."

"If you ask me, this is all caused by Mrs. Si. She doesn't consider Si Lao Er as a family member and has been bullying the family for years. Two of the three sons are in town. Si Lao Er and Liu Niang are the only ones around at home. Even Si Yang has been working for several years."

"People should be kinder, especially women. It is probably because she was a descendant of the Si family that the retribution was on her most valued grandson. Otherwise, why would Si Yao be beaten and frightened again..."

Soon, a rumor spread in the village that women should be kind to their wives and children, otherwise the ancestors would be angry and punished, which would be terrifying...

Si Yao initially told the villagers just to prevent people from talking about the future division of the family. She didn't expect that the women in the village would become much more virtuous since then.

Liu Niang cooked two eggs for Si Yao in the thatched hut. Si Yao forcefully gave one to Liu Niang. After the mother and daughter finished eating, Liu Niang went to work in the fields, and Si Yao prepared to go for a walk in the mountains.

On the way, they met the village chief and Lu Yuan. The village chief was about to speak when he saw Si Yao, but unexpectedly, Lu Yuan stopped immediately.

"Lu Yuan?"

Lu Yuan ignored the village chief and only stared at Si Yao.

Si Yao walked up to him and took the initiative to speak:

"village head."

"Hey Yao girl, Lu Yuan and I are on our way to your house. Is Brother Yao feeling better now?"

The village chief is still thinking about Si Yao, as he is the first scholar in the village and his future success in high school will have a crucial impact on the entire village!

"I didn't notice it. Why don't you go and take a look?" Si Yao pretended to be unaware. Her talisman had expired and was no longer effective. Si Yao was acting normal at this time.

"Okay, I'll go first. Your business is already being processed, so don't worry."

"Okay, thank you for your help, uncle."

The village chief was about to leave with a smile, but when he saw Lu Yuan still standing there, he frowned slightly:

"Lu Yuan?"

Lu Yuan slowly turned his head and looked at the village chief and just shook his head.

"You're not going?"

The village chief was a little surprised and wanted to say something, but Lu Yuan turned his back to him. This made him dare not force it. If he angered Lu Yuan, his several kilograms of bones would not be able to withstand a few punches!

"Then, Yao girl, go ahead and do your work. I'll go to your old house to take a look."

"it is good."

After the village chief left, Si Yao saw Lu Yuan staring at him with a puzzled look on his face, and spoke softly:

"You want to follow me?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan nodded. A hint of surprise flashed in Si Yao's eyes. She still wanted to go to the mountain to take a look...

“I’m going to the mountains.”

Si Yao's voice was inevitably a little loud. Lu Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard it. He pointed towards the mountain. The next second, under Si Yao's puzzled look, he stepped forward, picked her up and ran up the mountain. He rushed forward like a tiger descending the mountain. His speed was amazing.

The feeling of speeding was extremely exciting. Lu Yuan, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, carried Si Yao, who was 1.65 meters tall. It was so easy!

On the uphill road, he weighed Si Yao's legs and felt that they were too light, not even as heavy as a silly roe deer!

Si Yao was so shocked that she was speechless for a moment, and then she was so angry that her fists became hard!

Normally it would take her an hour to carry the car, but with Lu Yuan carrying her like this, she was already in the mountains in less than half an hour. Lu Yuan took her off his shoulders and stared at her with sparkling eyes. Si Yao turned pale and patted her chest angrily:

"Are you sick?"

Damn, other people carry their babies as princesses, but she was carried like a sack!
