Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 494 Dare to Steal

"That's not certain. I've been busy lately. Anyway, as long as I have time, I will come to see you."

When Li Guoqiang heard Sanwaizi's question, he replied casually, then walked to Liang Xianglian and Erniu, grabbed a handful of mulberries and stuffed them directly into his mouth.

The next moment, the feeling of bursting juice made him squint his eyes in comfort.

"How about I pack you some for the journey?"

Seeing this, Liang Xianglian immediately made a suggestion in a very considerate manner.

After she finished speaking, she saw Li Guoqiang nodded, so she hurriedly called Erniu to help move the large basket of mulberries into the yard, and then went to find a small basket and filled it with mulberries for Li Guoqiang.

Li Guoqiang took the basket of mulberries, turned his head to look at the red deer tied to the stable, and said softly: "This red deer is of no use here now, it's just right for me to ride it back."

After these words were spoken, Liang Xianglian, Erniu and Sanwazi were all stunned for a moment. Then, under their somewhat surprised gazes, Li Guoqiang walked into the stable and led the sika deer out.

Then he flipped over and climbed onto the sika deer's back, riding the deer out of the yard.

Seeing this scene, Liang Xianglian, Erniu and Sanwazi all opened their mouths slightly, obviously a little shocked.

No matter what they thought, they never imagined that sika deer could be ridden as horses?

Among them, Sanwazi felt a little regretful in his heart, regretting why he didn't think of riding a horse deer at the beginning.

If he could ride on the sika deer, he wouldn't have to work so hard picking mulberries.

Soon, the figures of Li Guoqiang and the sika deer disappeared into the mountains and forests.

Seeing this situation, Sanwazi opened his mouth, but finally closed it with some disappointment.

"Humph! Look at you, you are such a loser!"

Erniu saw Sanwazi's reaction and couldn't help showing a look of disgust.

"Hey!"

When Sanwazi heard what Erniu said, he was slightly stunned, then he said angrily, "I didn't do anything. Why do you say that to me?"

"Tsk! It's because you haven't done anything and you don't dare to do anything, so you have no future!"

Erniu spat and then directly pointed out what Sanwazi was thinking.

When Sanwazi heard Erniu say this, he was suddenly speechless.

"Okay, don't listen to your sister's nonsense. If she really had something to offer, she would have spoken up just now when your brother Qiangzi left."

Liang Xianglian stood aside and listened for a while. Seeing Erniu scolding Sanwazi so harshly, she quickly spoke up to smooth things over.

Yup!

When Sanwazi heard this, he immediately became energetic. He was about to fight back, but he found that Erniu had already walked out of the yard. It was obvious that she didn't want to give him a chance to get back at him.

Helplessly, he could only secretly curl his lips and help Liang Xianglian move the remaining half basket of mulberries into the house.

At the same time, on the other side, after Li Guoqiang rode the sika deer into the forest, he soon put the sika deer into his small world, and then used teleportation to rush back to Jinshan Fort.

Soon, his figure appeared on the mountain path behind Jinshan Fort, still holding the basket of mulberries in his hand, looking like he had just walked out of the mountains.

Then, before he returned to the village, he met a few naughty kids who went into the mountains to pick up branches on the road.

"Hey! Isn't that Brother Qiangzi?"

"Yes, that's him!"

"Brother Qiangzi! Brother Qiangzi!"

"Hey, are you picking up branches?"

"Yes! We have nothing to do at home, so we went into the mountains to pick up some branches and see if there are any bird nests!"

"Did you find the bird's nest?"

"Nope!"

"Brother Qiangzi, are those mulberries in your basket?"

"Yeah! Do you want to eat?"

As he spoke, Li Guoqiang grabbed a handful of mulberries from the basket and handed them over.

When the naughty kids saw it, they didn't bother to be polite to Li Guoqiang and hurriedly reached out to take the mulberries.

Then, they couldn't wait to pick up a mulberry and throw it into their mouths. Their eyes gradually narrowed into a line and a very satisfied smile appeared on their faces.

"Is it tasty?"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang felt happy and asked with a laugh.

"Ok!"

When the naughty kids heard this, they nodded vigorously.

"Then take your time eating, and go back home quickly after you finish! Don't wait until dark and make your family worry!"

Li Guoqiang looked at them eating happily, smiled slightly, then whispered a word of advice and continued walking towards the village.

After he walked away, those naughty kids finished eating the mulberries in their hands without realizing it, and then wiped their mouths with their hands as if they were still unsatisfied.

Afterwards, they thought of Li Guoqiang's instructions and dared not wander around any longer. They hurriedly tied up the firewood they had collected and carried it back to the village.

As they walked, they were still talking about
"Hey, how come Brother Qiangzi is so powerful?"

"I think I heard my parents talk about this. They said that Brother Qiangzi is from the city, so he must be better than us country folk."

"Nonsense! Aren't those people in the Youth Educator's Home also from the city? Why aren't they so powerful?"

"Then he is the reincarnation of a deity from heaven. My grandfather said he is the God of Wealth!"

"Oh! What's the point of you talking here? In my opinion, no matter whether he is the God of Wealth or not, we should worship him as our master and let him teach us skills. In this way, we don't have to worry about not having food to eat in the future!"

"Tsk! You said you want to be my disciple, then I'll be my disciple! Do you know what it means to be my disciple?"

"So what if I don't understand? If I don't understand, why can't I ask?"

"Who do you ask? Your father or your mother? Your parents can't even read, how can they know how to become a disciple?"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Didn't Brother Qiangzi take Uncle Guangshou as his master? Let's just follow his way!"

"But, but will Brother Qiangzi agree?"

After these words were spoken, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

After all, even if they are young, they know that becoming a disciple is not an easy thing.

If this happened in the old society, it would be equivalent to selling yourself to the master, and you would have to provide for the master in his old age and till the end of his life.

They didn't care much about this. The only thing that made them feel uneasy was whether they could be accepted by Li Guoqiang?

You have to know that they have never been to school for a day, and they usually only go up the mountain to catch birds and go down to the river to fish.

Therefore, let alone taking Li Guoqiang as their master, they did not have the confidence even to take Xu Guangshou as their master.

Thinking of this, their faces slowly fell, and then they continued on their way with a dejected look.

At this time, Li Guoqiang had no idea that those naughty kids would actually want to take him as their teacher.

He walked on the mountain path for a short while before returning to his home. Moreover, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he ran into Xu Dani who ran out of the house.

When Xu Dani saw Li Guoqiang, she was instantly frightened and quickly hid her hands behind her back.

This scene immediately caught Li Guoqiang's attention, and his brows suddenly frowned.

"Dani, what are you holding in your hand?"

"No! It's nothing!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Dani hurriedly shook her head like a rattle.

When Li Guoqiang saw this situation, he didn't ask any more questions. He just walked up and forcibly pulled Xu Dani's hand out from behind.

The next moment, he looked at the Coke bottle tightly held in Xu Dani's hand, and his face instantly darkened.

"Where did you get this bottle of Coke?"

"me."

When Xu Dani saw the change in Li Guoqiang's expression, she kept hesitating and didn't dare to answer, for fear that speaking out would make Li Guoqiang angry.

"Will you tell me or not?"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang's eyes narrowed, and then he asked angrily.

"I took it from the kang cabinet myself!"

When Xu Dani heard this, she shuddered and then hurriedly confessed the truth.

After saying this, she lowered her head in fear, not daring to look at Li Guoqiang's expression.

At the same time, she felt very regretful in her heart, regretting that she should not have stolen the Coke.

"you"

When Li Guoqiang heard Xu Dani's answer, he was immediately furious.

No matter how he thought about it, he never expected that Xu Dani would actually steal something.

"I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again."

When Xu Dani saw that Li Guoqiang was so angry that he couldn't speak, she panicked and quickly admitted her mistake.

As she said this, she stuffed the bottle of Coke into Li Guoqiang's hand to show her determination.

"never mind!"

Li Guoqiang looked at Xu Dani, then at the bottle of Coke in his hand, then suddenly shook his head with some self-blame, and said, "It's not your fault. It's mainly because I was too indulgent with you, which is why you slowly developed all kinds of bad habits."

After saying that, he walked towards the house, wanting to discuss the issue of Xu Dani's education with Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and others.

Xu Dani was frightened by what Li Guoqiang said and just stood there in a daze.

When she came to her senses, Li Guoqiang had disappeared, and she felt abandoned in an instant.

Therefore, she was completely panicked and tears flowed from her eyes like springs, for she was afraid that Li Guoqiang would no longer care about her from then on.

"Woo~ Big brother, big brother, please don't abandon me! I really know I was wrong!"

Soon, the crying sound attracted Li Guoqiang who had just entered the house, as well as Xu Yuping and Ma Shufen who were busy cooking.

Seeing Xu Dani crying so sadly, they hurriedly asked:
"Dani, what's wrong with you?"

"You were fine just now, weren't you? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

While asking, they also gave Li Guoqiang a questioning look.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang did not hide anything and directly told Xu Yuping how he caught her stealing Coke.

"Dani, how could you do this?"

After hearing this, Xu Yuping couldn't help but question angrily.

Faced with her questioning, Xu Dani didn't dare to say anything, but just lowered her head and cried silently.

When Xu Yuping saw Xu Dani like this, she felt angry and distressed at the same time.

In her impression, Xu Dani has always been very sensible. Although she may act a little naughty sometimes, she has never made any big mistakes.

But who would have thought that such a well-behaved and obedient girl would actually learn to steal things!
She wanted to teach Xu Dani a lesson, but because of her status, she couldn't do it.

Just as she was thinking about whether to go to the next yard and call Qu Yinfeng over, Li Guoqiang's voice suddenly came to her ears.

"Okay, since you already know you're wrong, just remember it this time.

If you dare to do it again next time, don't blame me for breaking your hand, do you understand?"

"I heard it clearly."

When Xu Dani heard that Li Guoqiang was going to break her hand, her whole body trembled instantly, and then she nodded quickly and agreed.

"Come inside!"

Li Guoqiang looked at Xu Dani's frightened face and felt very uncomfortable for a moment. Then he waved his hand to signal Xu Dani to go into the house first.

After Xu Dani entered the room, he looked at Xu Yuping and Ma Shufen, then asked with some self-blame: "Tell me, am I too indulgent with Dani?"

“A little bit, indeed!”

Xu Yuping nodded when she heard this, and then told the truth.

In fact, she had long noticed that Li Guoqiang doted on Xu Dani too much, and Li Guoqiang would agree to whatever Xu Dani wanted.

In this way, it would be easy for Xu Dani to develop some spoiled habits.

However, since Li Guoqiang had the final say on family matters, and she felt sorry for Xu Dani who lost her parents at such a young age, she didn't say anything to Li Guoqiang.

But who could have thought that Xu Dani would dare to steal things now?

If she is not corrected, won't she become a thief when she grows up?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and then she secretly decided to keep an eye on Xu Dani in the future.

"How about this!"

Li Guoqiang heard Xu Yuping's answer, hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously: "From today on, Sister Ping and Sister Fen will be responsible for disciplining Dani, and you must make her change those bad habits.

If she doesn't listen, you can beat her or scold her as you like.

Also, if Auntie Yinfeng has any objections, you can say that I told you to do it."

When he said this, a stern look flashed in his eyes.

"to make!"

After hearing this, Xu Yuping and Ma Shufen didn't think much about it and immediately nodded and agreed.

In fact, if it weren't for Qu Yinfeng's status as an elder, they would have wanted to take good care of this crazy girl Xu Dani a long time ago.

And now that they have Li Guoqiang's permission, how could they refuse?
Moreover, an idea came to Xu Yuping's mind. She thought that she could take this opportunity to discipline Zhu Caixia, so that people would not say that Zhu Caixia was uneducated.

After finishing the business, the three of them did not continue standing at the door of the house, but quickly went into the house, and then saw Xu Dani squatting in front of a small basket, swallowing silently.

And what was in that small basket were the mulberries that Li Guoqiang brought back.
