Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 495: Being in the midst of blessings and not knowing the blessings

This time, Xu Dani did not dare to take it without permission. She just looked at Li Guoqiang, Xu Yuping and Ma Shufen with pitiful eyes.

"Okay, take it if you want to eat it!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but speak in a somewhat unpleasant tone.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Dani suddenly reached out, grabbed a handful, and stuffed it directly into her mouth.

That greedy look was completely different from the other naughty kids Li Guoqiang had met before.

From this we can also see that Xu Dani was indeed spoiled.

Li Guoqiang looked at Xu Dani stuffing mulberries into her mouth, and a look of self-blame flashed across his eyes.

Back then, when Xu Dani ran to Xu Guangfu's house wearing a tattered cotton jacket and chose him, a sickly boy, to stay at her house, she was still very sensible and thrifty.

As a result, after being spoiled for half a year, he turned into such a lazy and gluttonous person.

He couldn't imagine what kind of person Xu Dani would become if the situation continued to develop in this way.

Although with his ability, he could ensure that Xu Dani would live a life of luxury, but what was the difference between that and raising woodworms?
Especially since he has always treated Xu Dani as his sister. Who would be willing to accept a termite as his sister?

Thinking of this, he shook his head somewhat melancholy, then stopped looking at Xu Dani and turned around and walked into the house.

When Xu Yuping saw him enter the room, she immediately walked up to him and grabbed Xu Dani's ear.

"Huh? It hurts!"

At this time, Xu Dani was eating happily! Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her ears, so she couldn't help but let out a cry of pain on the spot.

Then, she looked up at Xu Yuping and asked in confusion, "Aunt, what are you doing?"

"Humph!"

Xu Yuping snorted coldly when she heard this, and then began to lecture him with a look of disappointment: "Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror when you eat? If someone doesn't know you, they would think you've been hungry for seven or eight days!"

"I"

When Xu Dani heard this, she opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to refute.

Moreover, she looked at Xu Yuping's unfriendly face and did not dare to talk back. In the end, she could only nod her head obediently and admit her mistake, saying, "I won't dare to do it again!"

"okay!"

Seeing that Xu Dani did not talk back, Xu Yuping's anger dissipated a little, and then she waved her hand and said in a deep voice: "From today on, I will teach you how to be a girl, and you have to learn from me well.

Otherwise, don't blame me for beating you up, do you understand?"

"Listen clearly!"

Xu Dani's heart tightened when she heard this, and she quickly answered.

If she had to say who she fears the most right now, it would undoubtedly be Xu Yuping.

Because when Xu Yuping hit her, she really hit her hard, totally unlike Qu Yinfeng, who just hit her lightly at most.

Not to mention Li Guoqiang, Ma Shufen and others. They would give her all the delicious food and fun things they had, and never hit her from beginning to end.

Therefore, of course she would not be afraid of them.

This is also the main reason why Li Guoqiang did not want to discipline Xu Dani personally, but instead gave this task to Xu Yuping.

Soon, Xu Yuping and Ma Shufen divided the mulberries in the basket into two halves, one half for everyone as snacks, and the other half for making wine.

It is said that wine soaked with mulberry seeds can nourish yin and beautify the skin. Now is a good time to get some to try.

Not long after, when they had made the mulberry wine, Qu Yinfeng came back from the small hill behind the house with Zhu Caiyan and Zhu Caixia, holding some fresh and crisp vegetables in their hands.

Seeing this, Xu Yuping and Ma Shufen, one of them stepped forward to take the vegetables and went to the yard to wash them, while the other pulled Qu Yinfeng aside and whispered to her about how Xu Dani had stolen the Coke and was discovered by Li Guoqiang.

After hearing this, Qu Yinfeng was so angry that her eyes widened. Without waiting for Xu Yuping to open her mouth to tell her about Li Guoqiang's arrangement, she turned around and ran into the house, grabbed Xu Dani and spanked her hard on the butt.

With a "pop" sound, Xu Dani's body stiffened for a moment, then she suddenly opened her mouth and cried loudly.

"Ouch~ I know I was wrong, grandma, please don't hit me!"

"Don't call me grandma. What did I teach you? Did I teach you to steal? You've really grown up! If you're so good at it, why don't you go out and become a thief?"

Qu Yinfeng looked at Xu Dani crying and shouting there, and instead of showing any mercy, she started to curse at her angrily.

After she finished scolding, she seemed to be still unsatisfied and immediately raised her hand again.

Seeing this, Xu Dani hurriedly covered her buttocks and struggled to dodge.

However, with the little strength she had, she had no way to break free and could only watch Qu Yinfeng's hand fall.

Just when she wanted to lie on the ground and cry for mercy, Xu Yuping just happened to chase in and hurried forward to stop Qu Yinfeng.

"Mom, what are you doing? We can talk it out, don't hit me! What if it gets broken?"

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Qu Yinfeng snorted coldly, and then said with some lingering anger: "So what if she gets hurt? It's better than her going out to steal things and getting beaten to death."

"Not really, really not!"

Xu Yuping was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she quickly persuaded him, "Dani was just greedy and stole a bottle of Coke, and she already knows she's wrong. As long as we discipline her more in the future, she won't become a thief."

When Qu Yinfeng heard what Xu Yuping said, her expression finally eased a little. Then she turned her head to look at the east room, then looked at Xu Dani who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up. Then she asked with some concern:
"Um, did Qiangzi say anything?"

"Yes, I have!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuping nodded hurriedly and said, "He said before that he spoiled Dani, and asked me to be responsible for disciplining Dani in the future. I can beat her or scold her as I like, as long as you don't feel bad!"

"Look what you said!"

When Qu Yinfeng heard that Li Guoqiang was not angry, she was relieved. Then, when she heard the last sentence, she immediately retorted with indignation on her face: "As an aunt, you can spend your effort to teach this disappointing niece. I am so happy that I can't wait! How can I feel sorry for you?"

"Really?"

Xu Yuping raised her eyebrows, then jokingly said so.

In her opinion, although Li Guoqiang doted on Xu Dani, no matter how much, he could not dote on her as much as Qu Yinfeng.

You know, Qu Yinfeng was afraid that it would melt if she held it in her mouth, and she was afraid that it would fall if she held it in her hands.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have worried that if she taught Xu Dani a lesson herself, Qu Yinfeng would be upset.

"Don't interrupt me!" Qu Yinfeng understood what Xu Yuping meant, and immediately rolled her eyes, then said unhappily: "I've made it clear to you now, as long as you can teach Dani well, then you can do whatever you want."

After saying that, she glared at Xu Dani with some anger, then turned around and walked out angrily.

Because she was worried that if she stayed here any longer, she would be in trouble because of her deceased son and daughter-in-law, and she couldn't bear to hand Xu Dani over to Xu Yuping for discipline.

"okay!"

Xu Yuping was happy to see Qu Yinfeng leave like this, then she glanced at Xu Dani and said softly: "Your grandma is gone, she won't beat you anymore, you better get up quickly!"

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Xu Dani hurriedly wiped away her tears and then got up from the ground.

Then, she looked at Xu Yuping and asked fearfully, "Aunt, if I don't obey you in the future, will you really beat me?"

"Otherwise?"

Seeing that Xu Dani was still playing tricks on her, Xu Yuping couldn't help but roll her eyes, and then said unhappily, "Do you think we are joking with you?"

After these words were spoken, Xu Dani instantly became a little dispirited.

Originally, she thought that she only needed to admit her mistake this time and she could get away with it like she did the last time when she set off firecrackers. However, she didn't expect that she would have to be careful not to make mistakes in the future, otherwise she would be beaten.

This made her feel as if she had a tight hoop on her head, which was very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Xu Yuping didn't care about anything else and hurried to the stove to help Ma Shufen cook.

Immediately afterwards, Qu Yinfeng, Zhu Caiyan, Zhu Caixia and others, who had washed their hands and feet, walked in from outside.

When Xu Dani saw this, she no longer had time to feel sorry for herself and hurried into the inner room, wanting to find Li Guoqiang to plead for mercy.

However, before she could throw herself into Li Guoqiang's arms, she saw him stretch out his hand to block her, and then he said seriously: "Stop, you are grown up now, you can't just throw yourself into other people's arms like this.

Also, you have to be serious and change those bad habits for me, and stop thinking about eating, drinking and playing all day long, do you hear me?"

"heard it!"

Seeing how strict Li Guoqiang was, Xu Dani didn't dare to act like a spoiled child anymore. She nodded quickly and agreed.

After saying that, she turned around and ran out without waiting for Li Guoqiang to continue speaking, wanting to find Zhu Caixia and talk to her about the grievances in her heart.

However, what she didn't expect was that after listening to her story, Zhu Caixia not only did not speak to comfort her, but instead covered her mouth and laughed with a gloating look on her face.

This made her suddenly stunned for a moment, and then she asked angrily: "What are you laughing at? Is what I said funny?"

“It’s funny!”

Zhu Caixia nodded, and then said seriously: "Because you seem to have forgotten that at this time last year, you couldn't even have a full meal, and now you dare to steal Coke!
Who gave you the courage? Or do you think that Brother Qiangzi treats you well, so you can be so presumptuous?
Aren't you really afraid of angering him and getting chased away?"

"I"

When Xu Dani heard these words, she was shocked for a moment, then she stammered, not knowing what to say for a moment.

In fact, she hadn't thought so much about it before. She just felt that as long as Li Guoqiang was around, she would definitely not be hungry or cold, so she didn't have any pressure in life and only needed to think about how to play, eat, and sleep.

However, after being enlightened by Zhu Caixia's words, she realized belatedly how excessive her usual actions were.

Not to mention Li Guoqiang, even if it was her from a year ago, there is no way he would like her the way she is now.

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She was afraid that one day Li Guoqiang would really drive her away.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Zhu Caixia saw that Xu Dani's face suddenly turned pale, frowned, and then asked hurriedly.

"Sister Xia, please find a way to help me quickly. I don't want to be driven away. I don't want to be driven away!"

When Xu Dani heard the voice, she suddenly came to her senses, then hurriedly grabbed Zhu Caixia's arm, and pleaded with a panicked look on her face.

It looked like he was grabbing the last straw.

"Don't worry yet!"

Seeing this, Zhu Caixia quickly spoke to comfort her: "I am your sister, I will definitely find a way to help you."

As she spoke, she saw that Xu Dani's emotions were gradually becoming more stable, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to vent her dissatisfaction with the fact that Xu Dani was favored by Li Guoqiang on weekdays, but she didn't expect that she would scare Xu Dani like this.

If she gets scared to death, she will probably be beaten to death by Qu Yinfeng!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little scared, and then she hurriedly continued: "I just heard my mother say that if you can study better in the future, Brother Qiangzi will definitely not drive you away.

So you don’t need to be so scared, understand?”

"Really?"

Xu Dani's eyes lit up, and she asked expectantly, "If I can listen to my aunt, will my brother really not chase me away?"

"Really? How could I lie to you about this?"

Zhu Caixia nodded, then spoke somewhat unhappily.

"That's good, that's good!"

Xu Dani patted her chest and then spoke with a look of relief on her face.

After saying this, she thought that she would no longer be able to eat when she woke up and sleep when she was full like before, and she suddenly felt a little reluctant.

However, she also knew that if she continued to fool around like this, she would at least be scolded and beaten, not to mention being kicked out.

"Let me tell you!"

Seeing the change in Xu Dani's expression, Zhu Caixia easily guessed what she was thinking, and then couldn't help but sigh and said, "You are just being blessed but don't know how to appreciate it. If it weren't for Brother Qiangzi's help and care, you wouldn't know where to beg for food now!

Besides, this doesn't ask you to do anything difficult, it just makes you learn better, what else can you be unhappy about?"

After saying this, she felt a little unhappy when she thought about how she had put in so much effort but still failed to get Li Guoqiang to agree to accept her.

In comparison, Xu Dani doesn't have to do anything at all and Li Guoqiang can take care of her for the rest of her life.

This is really the same person with different fates!
At this time, Xu Daniko had no idea what Zhu Caixia was thinking. When she heard Zhu Caixia's slightly sour words, she couldn't help but smile smugly.

Then, her eyes rolled and she quickly turned around and ran into the house, ready to help serve the dishes and show her performance.
