Chapter 7 Yes, that’s right!

Lingxi spent the whole afternoon holding Taosu and grinding her teeth. When she was thirsty, she drank the water in the fruit can. She thought about it over and over again, but couldn't think of any good solution.

Behind the village is the mountain...

Live by the mountain, eat from the mountain; live by the water, eat from the water. There must be something that can be found in the mountain!

Lingxi frowned uncertainly.

In the evening, before getting off work, the old lady went home with little Minghui, carrying a basket full of wild vegetables.

She sent Minghui away to play with Lingxi, and thinking that it was about time, she sat on the threshold of the main hall and wiped her tears.

The little old lady kept saying——

My dear Ling Xier, why does she have such a miserable life?
Why doesn’t God come and strike those heartless people to death with thunder?

Uncle Pei and his two sons came back and saw this scene.

"What, what, what happened?!"

Uncle Pei’s name is Pei Youqian, and he and Aunt Pei have three sons.

The eldest son Pei Jin has already married and has a child named Minghui who is just four years old.

The second son, Pei Yu, works for a transport team in the county town and can only go home for a few days a month. He is not at home at the moment.

The youngest son Pei Xuan is about the same age as Pei Fuzhu. Because he is close in age to Lingxi, he likes to take her with him when he goes to the mountains to catch birds or to the rivers to fish.

Because of the different division of labor between men and women, Uncle Pei and his two sons were the first to return today.

As soon as Uncle Pei, Pei Jin and Pei Xuan entered the yard, they heard the old lady sitting on the doorstep wiping her tears and saying that Ling Xier had been bullied by a black-hearted person and had fainted. They immediately asked about the situation and crowded into the room where Lingxi lived, all looking at her worriedly and anxiously.

Uncle Pei is nearly 40 years old and is a handsome middle-aged man with an elegant appearance.

He and Aunt Pei had three sons in a row. He loved and doted on Lingxi, who had always been by his side. None of the other boys in the family could compare to her.

Uncle Pei looked him up and down.

"Second uncle heard that you fainted in the vegetable field, so let him take a good look.

You are weak, so you should take a rest. Why did you go to the vegetable garden? You have three brothers and a little nephew Minghui. If you want to eat something, just call one of them and ask them to go. They are tough and not afraid of the sun."

Brother Pei inherited his father's looks. He is steady and gentle, looking like a very reliable elder brother.

At this time, he saw that Lingxi was no longer seriously injured and nodded gently.

"Yes, girls are afraid of the sun. The sun is very strong now. Let's hide away. If you really want to do something, Minghui is at home. Be good and listen to me."

Minghui, a little boy who is almost four years old: "..."

He squeezed his little head out from the corner and patted his chest: "Yes, yes, yes, Minghui will help my aunt."

The third brother Pei Xuan is one year older than Lingxi. He is a boy with a delicate baby face.

Pei Xuan took a look at his sister when he came in to make sure she was okay. While everyone was talking, he learned what happened from his nephew Minghui.

He frowned slightly but didn't say anything on the spot.

He just put the small bundle of sweet potatoes he brought back on the table next to her to coax her.

"Ling Xi'er, take good care of yourself. You and Ming Hui can enjoy these sweet stalks first. After the wheat is harvested in a few days, I will go to the mountains. Do you remember the grapes you didn't eat enough last year?

Third brother went there late that time, and there were only a few good bunches of grapes left. This time, third brother went there earlier and picked more for Lingxi.

Eat slowly and however you want."

As for Pei Bok Joo...

Ah!
If he doesn't deal with him, he will take her surname!
He had a lot on his mind, but he had no intention of letting Lingxi know. His sister was so timid and sensible, and she just needed to eat, drink and have fun. Seeing this, Uncle Pei and Brother Pei only agreed and said that they would definitely let Lingxi eat enough, but in fact, in a place where Lingxi didn't notice, they exchanged a helpless look that only they understood.

Although helpless, I still indulge it.

Pei Fuzhu often bullies Ling Xier, so it would be good for Pei Xuan to take this opportunity to suppress her arrogance.

Lingxi was not used to seeing so many people at once. She was so careful that she didn't notice whether the father and his two sons had any conflicts.

She nodded her head obediently the whole time.

Okay, okay, okay, she will be good.

Suddenly, when she heard her third brother talking about grapes, she sat up straight instantly, her eyes shining.

delicious!
Can store storage pendants!
When she was bored in the afternoon, she remembered and carefully checked the things in the storage pendant, only to find that there was really no food in it.

The small wooden box is made of rosewood.

One contained various jewelry for young girls made of gold, jade, gemstones, gold and silver wire.

One was filled with gold bars and silver dollars, and the inner compartment contained several property deeds, land deeds, and deposit certificates from foreign banks.

Two large wooden boxes, filled with clothes for all four seasons, shoes, hats and scarves.

The last small suitcase was filled with weapons.

A pair of customized daggers, a crossbow, a bow, a Tang sword, a set of flying knives, and some sophisticated hidden weapons.

At this moment, when she heard Pei Xuan talking about the grapes in the mountains, she instantly became excited.

Grapes are sweet and sour and juicy. Time stands still inside the storage pendant. Stock up some grapes. When a drought comes, won’t they be delicious to eat?
Lingxi secretly made a note of it in her heart, and when Pei Xuan went into the mountains, she would see if she could follow him.

When she was happy, she started to praise.

"Thank you, Third Brother. You are the best! I love you the most!"

After she finished speaking, she met the expectant eyes of Uncle Pei, Brother Pei, and four-year-old Minghui. She was stunned for a moment, then continued with a sweet smile on her little mouth.

"Second Uncle, Big Brother, and Minghui are also the best to me! I love you the most."

Her main goal is not to offend anyone.

Uncle Pei, Pei Jin and Pei Xuan were not surprised at all to get this answer, and they were very satisfied with it.

After waiting at the door for a while, the old lady still didn't wait for her second daughter-in-law and eldest grandson's wife to come back, so she followed them into the house.

She was quite satisfied with the harmonious scene before her and made a concluding speech.

"Ling Xier!
Thinking back to the time when your grandfather died early, I was left a widow who couldn't carry anything with her hands or shoulders, with three sons and one daughter, and one pregnant. How pitiful it was for me to be an orphan and a widow!
But it was raining in that broken house, and we encountered bandits. It was your father, who was only eleven years old, who blocked a bullet for me and saved the lives of grandma and your uncle. Later, grandma was able to raise your uncles and help them find wives and have children.

Otherwise, our whole family will be doomed to be shot.

So, Ling Xier!

What your uncles owe your father is what the son has to pay off, which is equivalent to what your uncles' sons and daughters owe your father. You are the only child left by your father, which is equivalent to what your uncles, brothers and sisters owe you.

You have no parents, so you have to be nice to them out of pity. What's more, they owe you something, so it's only natural that they should be nice to you!"

The father and his two sons seemed to have thought of the touching part. They nodded in unison with red eyes and looked at Lingxi with heartache.

"Yes, that's the truth!"
