Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11959

"Are you heartbroken, Uncle and Aunt?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

“Of course, grandparents love their grandchildren more,” Luo Fengtang said.

Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Then... do you have any grievances against me?"

It is common for grandparents and parents to have conflicting opinions and disputes regarding the education and discipline of children in a family.

Luo Fengtang smiled and reached out to ruffle Yang Ruoqing's hair: "How could that be? They know you're doing this for the child's sake, and they all support you."

"Really? I made Yuanyuan kneel on the ground, and they supported me?" Yang Ruoqing didn't believe it. Luo Fengtang was definitely lying.

"I really support you. When have I ever lied to you?" Facing Yang Ruoqing's scrutinizing gaze, Luo Fengtang's eyes were open and honest. Even if Yang Ruoqing had the ability to read minds, she couldn't read his thoughts at this moment.

“Okay, I believe you.” The doubt in Yang Ruoqing’s eyes disappeared, and she leaned into Luo Fengtang’s arms. “I feel so lucky to have met such good elders, with Uncle and Aunt supporting me like this.”

“Ha, they’re lucky to have met such a virtuous junior like you,” Luo Fengtang said.

"Come on, I still have many shortcomings, and I need to continue to correct myself," she said.

“Absolutely not. You’re already perfect enough. Changing anything will only backfire,” he said.

Yang Ruoqing looked up and gently pinched his handsome face. "Oh dear, you flatterer, your flattery is a bit over the top!"

"Truthfully."

"Alright, alright, I believe you." Yang Ruoqing got up from his arms. "If you don't have anything else to do right now, keep an eye on them here. I'm afraid they'll start fighting again soon."

"Qing'er, where are you going?" Luo Fengtang asked.

“I need to go check on Miley. I’ve been dealing with the two boys ever since this happened today.”

We should also go and see Mai Li'er, comfort her, so she won't worry or be scared. After all, she's just a child.

However… Yang Ruoqing recalled how Mai Li'er easily subdued Yuan Yuan with just one move using only one hand… something just didn’t feel right.

A six-year-old girl from a poor farming family who couldn't even get enough to eat, and whose development was stunted, should theoretically be no match for a three-year-old. She had a robust, round face and a very stable lower body.

If the first time was due to luck and chance, then the second time is about skill.

"I'll go ahead first, I'll leave this to you," Yang Ruoqing said again.

"Okay." Luo Fengtang stood up as well. "By the way, Qing'er, do you still have any liniment at home?"

"What? Are you injured?" Yang Ruoqing immediately became nervous.

"No, no, I'm perfectly fine, don't worry," he quickly said.

"Then why are you asking about liniment?"

Luo Fengtang glanced at the desk.

Yang Ruoqing understood immediately.

"In the wooden box under the bed."

"Okay, then you go ahead, I'll stay here."

……

In a guest room in the front yard.

Mai Sui'er saw Rong Gu off. After Rong Gu had gone far away, Mai Sui'er quickly closed the door and then hurried back to the table.

At the table, Mai Li sat there, holding a bowl of warm tea in her hands, her eyes fixed on the pattern on the lid of the teacup, lost in thought.

"Little sister, you were too reckless today. How could you lay a hand on Young Master Yuanyuan?"

“Tuantuan and Yuanyuan are the precious darlings of the Luo family. Aunt Qing’er saved our lives, and we should be grateful and repay her. Even if Yuanyuan hits us, we can’t fight back!”

Mai Sui'er was truly terrified by what happened today. Although her younger sister didn't actually hit Yuan Yuan, Mai Sui'er, Rong Gu, and Qing'er all witnessed her younger sister holding down Yuan Yuan's arm.

Moreover, Yuanyuan beat her sister because she was angry and embarrassed after not getting what she wanted from her.

Tuantuan's innocent suffering will ultimately be blamed on her younger sister.

After what happened, everyone was worried about Tuantuan. Sister Peony and Sister Linglan were so heartbroken for Tuantuan that they cried. Sister Linglan even scolded her younger sister a few times. It was only after Aunt Rong said a few words to Sister Linglan that Sister Linglan stopped.

Earlier, when Rong Gu escorted the sisters back to their room, her attitude was noticeably cold, unlike last night.

Before leaving, Ronggu instructed the two sisters to stay in the house and not go anywhere.

Mai Sui'er is already 10 years old. She can tell that after what happened today, the entire Luo family probably already despises her and her sister.
Last night, my younger sister was kneeling before Aunt Qing'er, begging to be taken in, and today she's caused this mess. I'm afraid Aunt Qing'er will send them back and make them go back to live with Dad and stepmother...

I'm afraid that if my father and stepmother torment the sisters again, Aunt Qing'er and the others won't care anymore. Mai Sui'er felt like everything was going dark...

Mai Sui'er said a lot, but found that her younger sister did not react at all. She was still just holding the teacup in her hand, and the expression on her face was not the fear and terror that Mai Sui'er had. Instead, it was a kind of doubt that Mai Sui'er could not understand.
Yes, Mai Sui'er actually saw something called doubt on her 6-year-old sister's face!

"Little sister, what's wrong? Say something! What are we going to do next?" Mai Sui'er gently nudged Mai Li'er. "If all else fails, I'll go with you to kowtow and apologize to Aunt Qing'er."

Mai Li'er's eyes darted around a couple of times before she finally came to her senses. She shifted her gaze from the teacup in her hand to the 10-year-old girl, Mai Sui'er, whose face was full of anxiety.

Is this the original owner's older sister, with whom she depended on each other for survival? And you know what? She looks like a submissive, meek little dumpling.

Mai Li sighed inwardly. Yes, she was a transmigrator.

In her real world, she had a talent for martial arts from a young age and was sent by her parents to the local Shaolin Temple to learn kung fu.

As she grew older, she was discovered by the national-level martial arts team. At just 23 years old, she won numerous awards and participated in many prestigious competitions at home and abroad. Her home was filled with medals.

At 23, a young woman is in the prime of her life, enjoying the sweetness of love.

Especially for her, coming from a well-off family and being an only child in the Yangtze River Delta region, her personality is different from those in the industry.

She has two hobbies: practicing martial arts and reading novels.

When she was 13 and in eighth grade, she accidentally discovered a novel called "Ugly Girl Farming" on a certain online novel website. She clicked on it and read a few chapters, and then she was attracted by the female protagonist named Yang Ruoqing.

She admired Yang Ruoqing's fiery personality; she never suffered from inner turmoil. Even against a traditionally domineering grandmother like Madam Tan, the female lead dared to stand up to her. Not only did she lead her family to prosperity, but she also met the male lead. Both were strong, growing together, and their relationship was never melodramatic; both were loyal, and it was sweet and indulgent. From the moment Mai Li'er placed this novel on her bookshelf, she never imagined that this companionship would last for nearly 10 years.

This author has been writing for 10 years and still shows no sign of finishing the book.

Although the later plot is quite trivial, having lost the tension and excitement of the earlier parts, and there are no real crises, mainly consisting of mundane everyday things, it is still very heartwarming and relatable.

Sometimes when Mai Li'er is tired from training or under a lot of pressure, she will open her eyes and read a few chapters to clear her head and relax.

But just last night, while she was reading a novel, she happened to come across the latest chapter where the village's Mai Lao Er and Tie Shi couple drugged their daughter, intending to sell their eldest daughter to an old widower in a neighboring village while their daughters were asleep.

The reason they also put the drug in their younger daughter's bowl was simply to prevent her from discovering what her parents had done to her older sister while she was awake, which would cause a scene and attract the attention of the neighbors.

When I saw that scene, the younger daughter, Mai Li'er, was very clever. She seemed to have seen through her father and stepmother's conspiracy, so she refused to eat the food they provided.

As a result, that inhuman couple actually held down Mai Li'er's head and forced her into the bowl.

Mai Li'er knocked over the bowl, and as a result, Mai Lao Er shoved her to the ground.

Her head hit the ground. The original owner of Mai Li'er was actually dead. At that time, she was holding her phone and watching this part. Mai Li'er was so angry that she almost smashed her phone. Then suddenly she felt a dull pain in her head, her vision went black, and she lost consciousness.

When she regained consciousness, she found herself transported into the world of this book, her soul inhabiting the body of a six-year-old girl named Mai Li…

After transmigrating yesterday, the scene was so chaotic that it wasn't until last night when Yang Ruoqing, the female protagonist from the book, came to talk to her and comfort the sisters that Mai Li'er truly realized that this wasn't her hallucination, but a real transmigration.

That's why she knelt down in front of Yang Ruoqing last night, begging her to take her in.

Although she didn't know how the plot would unfold later in the book, she had read the latest chapters and knew that what she knew was also known to the other characters in the book.

However, as a transmigrator, Mai Li'er knew with a brain that in this world, you could do whatever you wanted, but you should never go against the male and female leads, or you would die a terrible death and become cannon fodder to pave the way for them.

So Mai Li'er had only one thought: to live well in this world, and the first thing she did was to cling to the female lead's coattails.

Even if the female lead didn't intervene in what happened at Mai Lao Er's house last night, Mai Li'er would still use her own methods to gain the attention of the female lead, Yang Ruoqing, and thus climb onto her side and cling to her coattails.

"Sister, don't worry too much, it's not as serious as you think." Mai Li'er gently placed her hand on Mai Sui'er's shoulder.

When she saw her own tiny hands, she was speechless. Such small hands! Sigh, the way she managed to subdue that chubby little Yuanyuan today was actually due to her skillful use of subtle techniques.

If he were to actually try to outmuscle Yuanyuan, his malnourished little body would definitely suffer a loss.

“Little sister…” Mai Sui’er held Mai Li’er’s little hand and was about to continue speaking when someone gently knocked twice on the door behind them.

"Wheat Ear, Wheat Grain, I'm your Aunt Qing'er, may I come in?"

The girls in the room were stunned when they heard Yang Ruoqing's voice.

Mai Sui'er's face was pale, her eyes filled with panic, and she muttered, "Oh no, oh no, Aunt Qing'er is coming to chase us away. What should we do?"

Mai Li'er gently squeezed Mai Sui'er's cold hand: "Sister, don't worry, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. I'll go open the door first."

Huh? Mai Sui looked up. What soldiers, generals, and local customs? What is her sister talking about? Why can't she, as the older sister, understand?
Mai Li'er had no time to explain to Mai Sui'er. She jumped off the stool, her short legs almost running towards the door. She grabbed the handle behind the door with both hands and pulled the door open with a creak.

"Aunt Qing'er." Mai Li'er looked up and called out to Yang Ruoqing in a clear voice.

Yang Ruoqing stood at the door for a short while, not intentionally eavesdropping, but mainly because her hearing had long since evolved, so she inevitably heard Mai Sui'er's nervous and worried words inside the house after she knocked on the door.

The two sisters thought they were there to chase someone away...

Yang Ruoqing bent down and smiled slightly at Mai Li'er, "May I come in and sit for a while?"

Mai Li'er immediately stepped aside: "Aunt Qing'er, please come inside and sit down."

Yang Ruoqing nodded and stepped into the house.

Inside the room, Mai Sui'er stood by the table. When she saw Yang Ruoqing come in, Mai Sui'er called her softly, then lowered her head, hunched her shoulders, and stood aside, not daring to make a sound.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at Mai Sui'er, then at Mai Li'er who had climbed onto the stool and was about to pour tea for her. She thought to herself, "It's true that the dragon has nine sons, and they are all different."

Although they were born to the same parents, the personalities and courage of Wheat Ear and Wheat Grain were worlds apart.

"Aunt Qing'er, please have some tea."

Lost in thought, Mai Li'er, with her small hands, held the teacup and tremblingly presented it to Yang Ruoqing.

"Why are your hands shaking so badly? Mai Li'er, are you afraid of me?" Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but laugh when she saw the tea sloshing in front of her. She wondered where the little girl's composure had gone when she subdued Yuan Yuan by the pool.

Faced with Yang Ruoqing's question, Mai Sui'er, who was standing to the side, was so frightened that her legs trembled and she buried her head even deeper.

However, the person in question, Mai Li'er, only had a slight blush on her cheeks.

"Aunt Qing'er, you are such a kind person who stands up for us. I'm not afraid of you, I like you!"

"Oh?" Yang Ruoqing raised an eyebrow. "Then why are your hands shaking?"

“I’m feeling guilty,” Mai Li’er said.

"Why are you feeling guilty?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

"Because today, I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a young lady, which caused a fight between Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, and Tuantuan even got beaten up. I feel very guilty, so please scold me!"

Yang Ruoqing carefully looked at the six-year-old girl in front of her. "I won't scold you. You actually did very well today."

"I came here specifically to praise you."

praise?

Mai Li looked up, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

The female protagonist in the book, Yang Ruoqing, is known for being fiercely protective of her children, especially her two young sons, whom she risked her life to give birth to. She is most afraid that anything might happen to them.

Why didn't she blame herself, but instead came over to praise her?

For a moment, Mai Li'er suddenly couldn't keep up with the female lead's train of thought.
