C38 (2/2)

”Help me out of the car.”

”You failed to help this time and blocked the way, so I have no choice but to rely on Ding Liang in the future. If he finds out that he had stolen some money, I will send the both of you to the officials together, not caring about your life or death.”

Xia Li said, patting Sun Chun's hand away, lifting up the carriage's curtain one step in advance, then stepped down from the carriage.

”Can you bear it?”

As Sun Chun said that, he followed her out of the carriage, his expression was no longer as cold as when he first came, as though he had just melted down a little stream. He stared at Xia Li and extended his hand towards her, and Xia Li helped him down the carriage, continuing to hold his hand tightly.

Xia Li took out 80 gold from his bosom and gave it to the coachman, who waved towards Xia Li before driving the horse carriage away.

”Big brother Chun, where did you go? Why did you only come back now? Why are you two holding hands?”

Hearing that there was movement at the entrance of the small courtyard, Li Xiaoshuang, who had been anxiously waiting for Sun Chun, immediately rushed out. Upon seeing Sun Chun and Xia Li, the excitement on his face immediately disappeared and changed into an angry expression.

Sun Chun took a step back with Xia Li and easily grabbed onto her wrist, forcing Li Xiaoshuang to take a few steps back before releasing her wrist. Although his strength was considered light, it still made her wrist numb, causing her to scream in pain.

”Brother Chun, you bullied me. I've been waiting for you for two days now. Why are you treating me like this? You really don't recognize my kind heart.”

As Li Xiaoshuang said that, his eyes turned red, and tears started rolling down his face. He stomped his feet, and ran back home.

Xia Li looked at Li Xiaoshuang who was running far away silently. If it was before, she too felt that Sun Chun treated Little Shuang a little too much, but now, it seemed that it was all for Little Shuang's own good. After all, a strong fruit isn't sweet.

She still had some good impressions of. She was somewhat concerned about Little Shuang being near him, and she definitely could not let him get hurt.

Sun Chun strode into the courtyard and headed towards his own room.

The Lee's had been standing guard inside the courtyard with Xia Qing. Watching Sun Chun leave with an unsightly expression on his face and then tightly closing the door, they naturally saw what had just happened at the entrance. The moment Xia Li entered the courtyard, he went to welcome him.

”My daughter, Mother just saw you and Young Master Sun. The two of you standing hand in hand, angering Little Shuang to the point of walking away, what are you doing?”

Lee's walked over and held both of Xia Li's hands. She didn't dare to think that Xia Li would actually be together with Sun Chun so quickly.

”Mom, don't you want to have a son-in-law overseeing the family in the future?”

Xia Li was clearly much more relaxed than the Lee's, when he held onto Lee's's hand, it could be considered as him tacitly agreeing to Sun Chun's intimate relationship.

”But, but doesn't Little Shuang like the Young Master Sun? Daughter, you cousins have taken a liking to the same man, what should we do?

This time, Lee's finally spoke out his worries. He slightly frowned, obviously feeling anxious, not knowing how to handle the situation in front of him.

Mother, don't worry, we won't hurt Little Shuang, is there anything to eat?

Xia Li didn't want Lee's to worry too much about this matter. While rubbing his empty stomach, he ran into the kitchen and lifted the lid of the pot, which contained a pot of gourd porridge. The bright yellow broth and the golden gourd inside, made Xia Li so excited that he almost jumped out and couldn't wait to scoop up a bowl.

”Mother, did you and your younger brother eat?”

”It's eaten, it's all eaten, this is something Mother left especially for you and Young Master Sun to eat, send him a bowl later as well.”

The Lee's looked at Xia Li who was eating sweetly, and warned him repeatedly before bringing Xia Qing to sit on the pile of firewood with a smile plastered across his face.

”Then, Mother, can you tell me where the sweet potatoes came from? I remember that you didn't buy any for our family, nor the porridge noodles for the bran.”

Xia Li was extremely clear about the food stored at home, so she was sure that she hadn't bought the Cucurbita and Cucurbita.

”En, your First Aunt sent it over this morning. She said that she did not cook well and specially brought some sweet potatoes for us to try. She expressed her apology.”

When Lee's talked about this, he looked around, anxiously grabbing his clothes, as if he was worried that Xia Li would be unhappy.

Sure enough, when Xia Li heard that it was Madam Zhou who sent her the sweet potato porridge, with a bang, she placed the bowl on the stove, causing her face to fall. She felt a little regretful over eating these food, making her believe that it was possible for Madam Qian to apologize.

My daughter, your First Aunt said that you gave her three months' rent, and in the future, she won't cause any trouble for us, and will even get along with us in a friendly manner. Really, if not, why would she send gourd porridge over here. Listen to your mother's advice, and get along with your First Aunt.
