"Give it to sister-in-law. It's really not hard for sister-in-law."
After Yun Xi's repeated persuasion, Erbao finally let go and gave Yun Xi the job of washing dishes.
But thinking that his mother had asked him to share the work with his sister-in-law, but he instead delegated all the work to her, Erbao felt a little uneasy.
So, when Yun Xi was washing the dishes, he moved a small bench and sat on the side obediently watching. Yun Xi asked him to play with Yaya, but he didn't go and just watched her there.
Seeing how stubborn he was, Yun Xi said it once, then said nothing more and let him go.
After washing the dishes, the water tank was almost empty. Yun Xi picked up the wooden bucket in the kitchen and planned to fetch water.
There is only one well in Hougou Village, and the villagers usually go there to pick up water.
The well is in the center of the village, not very far from Ji's house.
"Sister-in-law, are you going to fetch water?"
After seeing Yun Xi pick up the bucket, Erbao immediately got up from the bench.
Maybe it was because from yesterday to today, he didn't feel any malice in Yun Xi. In addition, children are relatively innocent, so now he no longer rejects Yun Xi, but will take the initiative to talk to her.
"Yes," Yun Xi whispered back to him, "We have run out of water at home, and my sister-in-law is going to fetch water. Please take good care of Yaya and stop her from running around, do you understand?"
Erbao nodded repeatedly, "I will take good care of my sister."
He looked at the bucket in Yun Xi's hand, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong, what does Erbao want to say?"
Yun Xi felt that some of his charm was somewhat similar to Ji Jiuye's. When she saw him, she felt like she saw Ji Jiuye's appearance as a child, with an extremely soft heart.
“Sister-in-law, why don’t you carry a pole when carrying water?”
Erbao didn't doubt it at all. She couldn't find the pole. The pole was standing next to the bucket. When she took the bucket, she would definitely see the pole.
Yun Xi smiled and said, "Because sister-in-law is very strong, so you don't need a pole to carry water. Remember to watch your sister, sister-in-law is gone."
"oh."
Erbao responded dumbly, with a confused look on his face.
Don’t you need a pole to carry water
But he saw that people in the village all carried carrying poles when carrying water.
Ergou's father, Uncle Danu, is the strongest person in the village. Uncle Danu uses a pole to carry water.
Yun Xi didn't know what Er Bao was thinking. She took two buckets and quickly arrived at the well.
The style of the water well is a hand-crank type. A bucket is tied with a rope and placed into the well. When it is filled with water, just crank it up with the hand-crank handle.
Yun Xi filled two buckets of water effortlessly, and when she was closing the manhole cover, she noticed a burning gaze falling on her.
As soon as she turned around, she saw a wretched-looking young man looking at her with shining eyes, almost stopping her from drooling.
"Hey, isn't this the little lady from Ji Xiucai's family? Such a flowery little lady is the only one the Ji family is willing to let do such menial work as fetching water. If it were me, I would definitely pamper her and eat delicious food. All the delicious food will be given to the little lady, and I will never let the little lady do such rough work... "
Wang Lezi kept swallowing his saliva and looked at Yun Xi. When he passed by the Ji family before, he had seen the Ji family's young lady from a distance and was immediately shocked.
He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life, even more beautiful than the daughter of the magistrate's family.
When I looked at her from a distance, I felt that this young lady from the Ji family was the most beautiful girl in the storyteller's mouth. But I didn't expect that when I looked at her up close, she turned out to be even more beautiful.
It was so beautiful that he imagined it wildly.
That boy from the Ji family, apart from being good at learning, can't carry anything on his shoulders or lift it with his hands. He is simply a scholar who is said to be a scholar. How could he marry such a beautiful young lady
Wang Lezi was almost jealous of Ji Jiuye, wishing he could become Ji Jiuye.
"Please give way."
Yun Xi frowned and said indifferently. The man's eyes were so explicit that she felt particularly uncomfortable.
As everyone knows, her cold voice reached Wang Leizi's ears, which made him even more excited.
It’s okay for people to be good-looking, but why do they have such beautiful voices
What kind of incense did that boy from the Ji family burn in his previous life to marry such a beautiful lady in this life
Wang Lezi excitedly threw the pole and bucket on his shoulders to the ground, and said diligently, "Little lady, even a man can't bear to watch you do this kind of work, carry water, right? I'll help you carry it."
Hearing this, Yun Xi's eyes turned cold, "No need, you and I are neither relatives nor friends, nor have we had any contact. Please respect yourself and don't ruin my reputation."
After saying this, Yun Xi picked up a bucket with one hand, easily picked up two buckets, and prepared to take a detour and leave.
In this era, the village was backward and conservative, and a woman's integrity was very important.
Although she didn't care about things like fame and honor, she didn't want to bring unnecessary criticism to Ji Jiuye because of some things, making him the target of ridicule and discussion among others.
Seeing Yun Xi lifting two buckets of water so easily, Wang Laizi was shocked when he saw that she was nothing like the weak woman in his impression. But soon, he got entangled with her again and shamelessly grabbed Yun Xi's bucket, intending to borrow it. I wiped the machine and touched Yun Xi's little hand.
"Little lady, look at you, you don't even have a carrying pole. Let me pick one for you. That good-for-nothing Ji Jiuye is unreliable. He has a broken leg and can only lie on the bed, asking you to do such rough work. He doesn't feel sorry for you. I It almost makes my heart hurt to look at it.”
Yun Xi didn't want to cause trouble, but this man was like a dog-skin plaster that he couldn't shake off, so he stuck to her body hard.
That's all, but he still insulted Ji Jiuye without hesitation. A gloomy look flashed in Yun Xi's eyes. She quickly dodged to avoid Wang Lezi's attempt. Then, she put down a bucket of water and poured the other A bucket of water was thrown at Wang Leizi.
Suddenly, Wang Laizi turned into a drowned rat. His whole body was wet. He screamed and couldn't open his eyes for a long time.
Wang Lezi raised his arms and wiped his eyes with his sleeves. Suddenly, someone kicked him hard in the chest. He fell to the ground. A sharp pain spread throughout his body. Wang Lezi couldn't help but scream.
This was not the end, Yun Xi dropped the empty bucket in her hand, picked up Wang Lezi's pole, and pulled it towards him. Wang Lezi screamed after being beaten, and rolled on the ground to avoid the pole.
His body was covered with water, and the ground was covered with dirt. When he rolled, his whole body seemed to be dug out of the mud. He was so dirty that he couldn't bear to look at it.
Wang Laizi didn't expect that the petite-looking little lady would hit someone so hard. He hid while screaming for mercy. Yun Xi saw that the beating was almost done, so she slowly stopped.
"If you dare to harass me again in the future, I will beat you to death. Do you understand?"
"Also, if you dare to come in front of me and make fun of my husband, I will beat you to death, remember?"
