Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11960

"Maili'er, come here, come to Aunt Qing'er." Yang Ruoqing took the opportunity to grasp Maili'er's hands.

“I actually saw the whole thing today,” Yang Ruoqing said, but her hand quietly touched Mai Li’er’s hand and wrist.

Strange, judging from the bone reading, this child is completely an ordinary person, and doesn't seem to have any innate martial arts skills.

However, Yang Ruoqing was certain that what she saw was correct. The same move that Mai Li'er used to subdue Yuan Yuan twice with one hand today was a clever trick, also known as using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds.

If he were truly an ordinary person, it would be impossible for him to do it so easily twice. Is this child hiding a secret?

"I know you got into a conflict with Yuanyuan because you wanted to stop him from playing in the pool." After touching Mai Li'er's hand bones, Yang Ruoqing then placed her hands on Mai Li'er's small shoulders, measuring them as well.

“I can tell you’re taking care of Yuanyuan. So, you deserve praise.”

Mai Li understood; so that's how the female lead viewed the matter. Thank goodness, the female lead truly lives up to her reputation as a leading lady—her perspective and vision are so broad and insightful.

Mai Li nodded gently, "I'm very grateful that Aunt Qing'er said that, thank you for your understanding!"

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "You little girl, you're really unlike your scoundrel father. You speak so elegantly."

She was very well-mannered and had clear logic. If it weren't for the fact that the child was Mai Lao Er's offspring, Yang Ruoqing would have suspected that the child was a lost young lady from a wealthy and scholarly family.

Oh, that's not entirely true. Not all rich heiresses are like that. Many more are spoiled into becoming "incompetent" or "brainless princesses."

"But I still want to apologize to Aunt Qing'er," Mai Li'er said softly again.

"Why? Is it because of Tuantuan getting beaten up?" Yang Ruoqing raised an eyebrow.

Mai Li nodded truthfully.

"Ha, Tuan Tuan got beaten up, and the culprit was Yuan Yuan," Yang Ruoqing said.

Mai Li'er shook her head, "Although Yuan Yuan was the one who directly attacked, if it weren't for my previous obstruction of Yuan Yuan, he wouldn't have been so enraged that he lost control and attacked Tuan Tuan."

"So, no matter what, I bear some responsibility for this."

"Please punish me, Aunt Qing'er, I'm willing to accept it!"

As Mai Li'er finished speaking, she actually took a step back and knelt down before Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing bent down and pulled her up, then gently brushed the dust off her knees.

"Silly child, how can you be so sensible? Get up quickly." Yang Ruoqing was truly touched by the child's thoughtfulness.

At home and at relatives' and friends' homes, there are countless children of this age.

But this is the first time in all these years that Yang Ruoqing has met a girl who makes her feel like she has met a kindred spirit. This may sound a little strange, but it is actually quite reasonable.

"I'm very pleased that you took the initiative to say these things to your aunt. If you insist on being punished..." Yang Ruoqing paused.

Mai Li looked at Yang Ruoqing with reverence, anticipating what she would say next.

When Mai Sui'er heard Yang Ruoqing's words, she nervously raised her head, her face and lips drained of color, and she dared not blink.

Yang Ruoqing continued, "If you insist on demanding punishment to feel at ease, then I will punish you sisters by making you stay in our Luo family."

“From now on, your sister will help with some of the housework. As for you, you'll be responsible for being Tuantuan and Yuanyuan's playmates and taking care of them. If they do anything wrong, you'll discipline them on my behalf, okay?”

Mai Li'er was completely shocked this time.

Yang Ruoqing clearly enjoyed seeing that expression on the child's face.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" she teased her on purpose.

Mai Li came to her senses and nodded her little head vigorously: "Yes, yes, I'm more than happy to! Thank you, Aunt Qing'er!"

……

After seeing Yang Ruoqing to the door and watching her leave, Mai Li closed the door and happily spun around inside.

Mai Sui'er, standing to the side, was also filled with surprise. It was only then that the older sister finally snapped out of her shock.

"Little sister, is it true? Am I dreaming? Aunt Qing'er is not only not angry with us, but she also likes us and took us in?"

Wheat Grain stopped circling around and came up to Wheat Ear. Suddenly, she raised her hand and pinched Wheat Ear's arm hard.

"Ouch!" Mai Sui cried out in pain.

"Little sister, why are you pinching me? Did I say something wrong?"

"Sister, does it hurt?"

"It hurts a little."

“It’s good that it hurts.” Mai Li’er smiled with the corners of her mouth up. “It means you’re not dreaming, it’s real.”

Mai Sui'er finally understood and grinned. At 10 years old, she was already in the late stage of losing her baby teeth, and her smile was already very shy and gentle, unlike Mai Li'er, who was in the golden period of losing her baby teeth, so Mai Li'er's smile was very funny.

"Little sister, you're amazing!" Mai Sui'er praised sincerely.

Mai Li'er shook her head, the smile on her little face fading and replaced by a serious expression.

"It's not that I'm amazing, it's that Aunt Qing'er is reasonable and kind."

Mai Sui'er nodded, but remembering what she had heard before, she whispered, "But before, I overheard my stepmother and some other aunts chatting about Aunt Qing'er, and everyone said she was very fierce..."

"Sister, don't listen to those stupid women anymore, they'll only pollute your ears!" Mai Li'er corrected Mai Sui'er very seriously. "Whether a person is good or bad, we shouldn't believe what others say. We should use our own eyes to see, our own ears to hear, and our own hearts to feel."

“Aunt Qing’er, I know her better than anyone that she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. If she is a bad person, then there are no truly good people in this world!”

Outside, Yang Ruoqing returned because she had left a handkerchief behind when she sat down.

As a result, I overheard the conversation between the seller's sisters outside the door.

To be honest, Mai Li'er's praise and evaluation of her truly shocked and moved Yang Ruoqing. She never imagined that besides Luo Fengtang, there was someone else in this world who understood her so well and saw through her.
Calling them soulmates wouldn't be an exaggeration!

The problem is, the person who said these words wasn't an adult, but a 6-year-old child.
A warm current flowed through Yang Ruoqing's heart, and her eyes became much clearer and gentler.

She decided to get the handkerchief another time. At that moment, she quietly turned around and went back to her dormitory. She couldn't wait to share everything with Luo Fengtang...

……

When Yang Ruoqing returned to the dormitory, Luo Fengtang was holding a bottle of medicinal wine and putting it into a box.

Inside the room, the two children were nowhere to be seen, and the paper on which they had practiced calligraphy remained on the desk.

"Have you applied it?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Luo Fengtang nodded, "I didn't apply any. I have thick skin, so kneeling for a short while didn't cause me any problems."

Yang Ruoqing smiled. "Where are they now? They all disappeared the moment I turned around?"

You've stopped practicing your calligraphy. How long have you been practicing? Probably no more than half an hour.

Luo Fengtang said, "They were originally going to continue practicing, but their great-grandparents asked Linglan to come and check on the situation."

"I simply had Linglan take them directly to the front yard, you know what I mean."

Yang Ruoqing understood, of course.

It's likely that since the incident, the elderly couple's hearts have been preoccupied with the two little ones in the backyard, worrying about Tuantuan's forehead and Yuanyuan's knees...

So, let Linglan take the person to the front yard and let them see for themselves. Otherwise, I don't know how long I'll be in this state of anxiety.

"Qing'er, how are things on your end?" After putting away the medicinal wine, Luo Fengtang turned around and went back to the desk to help Yang Ruoqing tidy up the writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones on the table.

"Oh, you mean the Mai sisters? Hey, I was just about to tell you about that, it's really interesting."

"Then sit down and talk slowly, I'll tidy up." Luo Fengtang helped Yang Ruoqing sit down in the armchair behind the desk.

Yang Ruoqing didn't try to take his work away from him. She sat down and told Luo Fengtang everything that had happened at the Mai family's place.

"...I don't know how you feel, but in short, I feel that Mai Li'er is not only smart, quick-witted and courageous, but also very composed, with a composure beyond her years," Yang Ruoqing added at the end.

After listening, Luo Fengtang remained silent for a moment before saying, "You said earlier that the move Mai Li used to subdue our Yuan Yuan was a case of using minimal force to overcome great strength?"

"Yes, I'm absolutely certain. Without certain techniques for applying force, it's absolutely impossible to do that," Yang Ruoqing said firmly, recalling the scene at the time.

Luo Fengtang continued, "Judging from height and weight, Yuanyuan is about the same height as Maili, and even weighs about three to five pounds more than Maili."

“Yuanyuan has a very stable lower body and knows some basic punching techniques. Based on his abilities, he can currently take on three children of the same age in the village.”

"But in his duel with Mai Li'er, he didn't even have a chance to touch the corner of her clothes before he was knocked down."

"If once is considered lucky, then twice is not; there's a big problem here!"

"Tang Ya Zi, I know what you're guessing. I've actually been guessing in that direction too," Yang Ruo Qing said. "I touched several bones on her body, and there's absolutely no sign of her having any martial arts training. She's just a skinny little girl, as thin as a chick!"

Luo Fengtang pondered for a moment, then posed a hypothesis that shocked even Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, do you think it's possible that this wheat grain had the same experience as you did back then?"

"What?" Yang Ruoqing's body stiffened as she sat on the stool. "You mean, Mai Li'er is also a time traveler?"

Luo Fengtang remained silent, but his eyes told Yang Ruoqing the answer.

If they didn't share the same experience, how can you explain how such a young girl could act so mature and composed beyond her years?
And how do you explain that she knows fighting techniques? Back when Yang Ruoqing first transmigrated into Fatty's body, she was also very young, right?
Fatty's body showed no signs of training, but Yang Ruoqing was able to dominate the village children with her fighting skills and quickly became their leader.

Later, through her own customized weight loss and fitness plan, and a series of exercises, her body gradually caught up with the rhythm, and she became a true fitness expert.

Yang Ruoqing is a precedent, but could she be the last? That's hard to say.

"Tang Yazi, now that you mention it, I think... it really is quite possible!" Yang Ruoqing's eyes widened.

Honestly, there are no words to describe this feeling. I used to think I was a 'freak' or 'exceptional' in this world, the only one with a cheat code.

If Mai Li'er is also... Oh my god, Yang Ruoqing didn't know what to do for a moment. Is the other party an enemy? Or a friend?

Furthermore, the foundation I've built in Daqi and Changping Village over the years, and many of the things I've done, originally didn't exist in this world.

It is the knowledge I brought from my original world that has been transformed in this world.

If Mai Li'er were also a time traveler, then she would definitely be able to see the secrets hidden in Yang Ruoqing.

"This child cannot be kept. I will kill her right now!" Suddenly, Luo Fengtang put down the inkstone in his hand, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

A person who can reach the position of Grand General, even if he holds a large army, can still intimidate others in the court and prevent them from provoking him... Luo Fengtang is definitely more than just his superficial methods. His abilities and mentality are beyond imagination. The title of God of War is a combination of the god of protection and the god of killing!
Therefore, when this result was deduced, even though the other party was just a harmless 6-year-old girl.

However, Luo Fengtang was no longer willing to give Mai Li'er a chance to grow.

Because of his ability as a transmigrator, he had already witnessed that Mai Li'er's body definitely contained the soul of an adult.

Luo Fengtang wanted to eliminate any factors that could potentially harm Yang Ruoqing.

"Tang Yazi, wait a moment." Yang Ruoqing stood up and stopped Luo Fengtang.

"Don't rush into anything; she's only a six-year-old child," Yang Ruoqing said.

Killing a six-year-old child goes against Luo Fengtang's bottom line, even if the child's body contains the soul of an adult...

"Judging from the current situation, she not only has no hostility towards me, but even wants to curry favor with me because she needs a good environment to grow up," Yang Ruoqing said.

"Then what happens after she grows up? I'm afraid she might harm you!" Luo Fengtang's voice was already very low, and he was on high alert.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "Don't be so nervous. Don't worry, we're not in a hurry to make a move now. It's precisely because we suspect she's a time traveler that we want to keep her by our side."

"If we raise them, who knows, they might become part of our camp? It's not like transmigrators have to come here and wreak havoc. Look at me, I'm here, I have family and friends, I'm so happy."
