Talking sense? Big brother, could you please look at your current stance, where is there even the slightest intention of reasoning properly with soone? You’re clearly here to fight, aren’t you?
If there’s a single person in this yard who can stand up to three punches from Leader ng without getting floored, she can write her "Hua" character upside down!
Those skilled in martial arts often carry an air of stern solemnity, their bodies lean and muscular, with well-defined muscles on their shoulders and arms, and their eyes especially spirited, especially when they are engulfed in rage. Just standing there in the middle of the yard, who would dare to co any closer, that would clearly be courting death.
Wan ixian was intimidated but still not willing to concede. Not daring to et ng Yuhuai’s gaze, she just stared at Hua Xiaomai, covering her waist with one hand, and clenched her back teeth fiercely: "Fine then, picking on now, why don’t you go and ask around..."
"We have no interest in knowing where you co from. If you’re curious, feel free to ask around the city about who I am," ng Yuhuai didn’t even need Hua Xiaomai to speak up, taking the lead to say coldly, "As for today’s incident, we both know very well who started it. Since you didn’t get the better of it, I’ll let it go for now. But listen carefully, if you dare to co again, or secretly plot any unsavory sches, I will make sure you learn what it ans to regret when it’s too late."
His voice was not loud, nor was his expression particularly fierce, yet it sohow made one’s hair stand on end and feel uncomfortable all over. Wan ixian was cowed but still unwilling to accept defeat, blustering with a feigned toughness: "Just you wait, I..."
"I’ll be waiting for you," ng Yuhuai said with a slight smile, indifferently.
The scene was all too familiar, Hua Xiaomai montarily felt dazed.
It seed... Long ago, also in this very yard, ng Yuhuai seed to have said the sa thing to the chef Wei who had kidnapped her. At that ti, it felt as though she had also given Fatty Wei a good beating with a stick. History repeated itself in a loop... Co to think of it, did they not make a perfect couple?
Seeing that there was no advantage to be gained today, Wan ixian could only shoot the two of them a hateful glance and hobbled out, with the seven or eight sturdy n who accompanied her in a fluster, muttering all kinds of soothing words that sounded more like perfunctory consolation. Wan ixian kicked the person beside her out of irritation and strode out of Zhenwei Garden, vanishing without a trace in a mont.
The yard instantly quieted down. ng Yuhuai looked around at the faces of the people, his brow slightly furrowing, and then waved his hand: "This matter is settled, everyone can disperse and go about your business. Since you’re earning the wages of Sauce Garden, you should contribute your effort. If such an incident happens again, I hope you all will take it more seriously and not let a young girl take the forefront."
The words left an uncomfortable taste, and everyone, like Master Lei, had a hint of red on their faces. Only the Great Saint Sun, ca up to him with a chuckle, patting him on the shoulder and saying, "Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, I saw our Lady wield a an stick; a single sweep sent that woman tumbling, hardly at a disadvantage there!"
ng Yuhuai had no choice but to engage in a bit of banter with him. Turning around to see Hua Xiaomai still standing obediently to one side, his face fell: "You, co ho with ."
Hua Xiaomai knew that she might not be able to avoid a scolding today, yet she couldn’t think of any strategy to evade it and could only cautiously utter "oh" in agreent, following him with small steps back to the south side of the village.
...
After several days of heavy rain, many unwashed clothes had piled up at ho. Seeing that the rain had eased up today, with the sun seemingly about to peek out, ng’s mother hurriedly gathered the clothes and soaked them in a large basin.
Of course, soaking was all she did; the "important task" of washing and scrubbing naturally fell to Hua Xiaomai when she ca back.
When the two returned to the yard and happened to see ng’s mother coming out of the house with a pile of clothes, Hua Xiaomai rushed forward with a beaming smile, saying repeatedly, "Mother, there’s no need to trouble yourself with this chore, hand it all to ; I’ll wash them quickly so we can hang them out to dry soon."
ng’s mother, who couldn’t have been happier to be relieved of the task, did not decline and unceremoniously stuffed all the belongings into Hua Xiaomai’s arms, saying with a cold face, "It’s your duty anyways, who else should do it if not you? If you’re going to wash them, do it quickly while there’s a bit of wind. Otherwise, if the rain starts again, you’ll only be able to hang them indoors, and they’ll start to sll musty."
Hua Xiaomai gleefully agreed, hugging the clothes and preparing to run off. ng Yuhuai, knowing full well what she was up to, couldn’t help but silently chuckle to himself while keeping a stern face, grabbing her by the collar: "I don’t think it will rain again anyti soon, set that aside for now and co inside with , I have sothing to discuss with you."
