Chapter 10

Su Li rolled her eyes. Boys nowadays really knew how to protect themselves, but they seemed to have used the wrong method on the wrong person.

“F*ck, don’t make me repeat nonsense again.”

He Dahu and He Erhu were extremely unwilling. In the end, under Su Li’s pressure, they could only choose to submit!

Wang Chunhua had pinched off a small piece of skin behind He Erhu’s ear. This was not a big problem. He Dahu had been hit by He Jinbao a few times, so his body was a little bruised. Fortunately, he did not suffer any internal injuries.

Children recovered quickly and did not need to be specially treated. They’ll be fine in two days!

Su Li looked at the two brothers and said seriously, “A wise man doesn’t fight when the odds are against him. Before you attack, take a look at the situation of your opponent. If you can’t win, run. Don’t be stupid and go against others.”

“But he wants to snatch our meat patties!” He Erhu muttered softly as he stared at his shoes.

Su Li reached out and patted his head. “If he wants to eat it, give it to him. If you want to eat it, I’ll make it for us again tonight. In this situation today, there’s only the two of you at home. Even if you can defeat He Jinbao, your grandmother is still present. In the end, you’ll still be the ones who suffer!”

He Dahu puffed up his cheeks and said, “You’re lying. There’s no more food at home.”

He had seen Su Li take out all the food today. The last food in the cabinet had been cooked at noon, so they had to go hungry tonight!

Su Li burst out laughing. So they were keeping the meat patties because they were afraid of starving!

However, when she thought of their previous situation, Su Li understood their actions.

“Didn’t your father go to town? He will definitely buy food back. You won’t starve.”

According to He Yufeng’s personality, he would definitely buy food back. It had been like this for so many years, and this time should be no exception.

At the mention of He Yufeng, the brothers finally fell silent. After all, He Yufeng was still very credible.

Su Li looked at them and could not help but remind them.

“It’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. If you want to take revenge, you have to have enough strength. Remember not to be so reckless in the future. We can’t be bullied by others, nor can we bully others. Do you hear me?”

“Got it!” He Dahu and He Erhu replied gloomily.

Su Li did not care if they had really taken in what she said or if her words fell upon deaf ears. She had said everything that needed to be said. As long as they had a clear conscience, it was fine.

The wasteland in the backyard had not been opened yet. Su Li carried the hoe and planned to continue working.

She looked at the fallen bamboo door and was speechless. She did not know why they needed this courtyard door.

It was unnecessary to guard against thieves. When the thieves saw this house, they would probably run away with their buckets before they entered!

Exorcism? That was possible. After all, this door was more or less stained with a melodramatic plot.

Su Li went forward and helped the bamboo door up from the ground. She then found a hemp rope and tied the bamboo door back.

Everyone else had a courtyard door, so she had to have one no matter what. She couldn’t make it special.

He Dahu and He Erhu stuck their heads out of the house and slowly moved out. In the end, they moved behind Su Li.

Su Li sensed their approach and did not say anything to continue working.

When Chen Xiang came out of the house and saw Su Li repairing the door, she looked like she had seen a ghost. Was this still the Su Li she knew?

Not only did she do her a huge favor, but she also gave her a bowl of wild boar meat. She even personally repaired the door today. Unless Su Li was possessed, she would not do such a thing.

Su Li sensed the scrutinizing gaze and looked up.

Chen Xiang hurriedly looked away and left with the bucket. However, her walking posture was still a little strange.

Su Li frowned. Didn’t I tell her to rest and not do heavy work? In the blink of an eye, she went to fetch water!

Was she trying to make things difficult for her?

Forget it. She had no choice but to listen. Su Li retracted her gaze and continued repairing the door.

After repairing the door, Su Li carried the hoe and walked towards the back of the house with two little tails behind her!

He Dahu and He Erhu followed behind Su Li carefully. They didn’t dare to get too close to Su Li because they were afraid that Su Li would chase them away.

After working for the entire afternoon, Su Li was already drenched in sweat. Coupled with the fact that she had eaten little in the afternoon, she was tired and hungry. She had finally exercised enough today!

He Dahu and He Erhu were not idle either. The brothers helped Su Li pile the grass she had cut, which saved Su Li a lot of trouble.

Su Li praised, “Not bad. You know how to help the family. I’ll cook eggs for you when we get back.”

The eggs at home were sent over by Chen Xiang. Otherwise, according to the original owner’s personality, there wouldn’t even be an eggshell at home!

He Dahu and He Erhu looked a little embarrassed. This was the first time Su Li had praised them. Their hearts instantly felt sweeter than if they had eaten honey.

Su Li ignited the pile of grass. It was useless to bring them back if they didn’t have any livestock at home. They might as well burn them in the fields as fertilizer.

Seeing the last bit of fire extinguish, Su Li said to the two little fellows who were playing happily in the field.

“Both of you are like mud monkeys. Come home with me and wash up.”

He Dahu and He Erhu stood up from the ground. They even patted the dirt off their bodies and looked at Su Li fearfully.

Su Li was speechless.

She was not a tigress. Was there a need to do this?

When she returned home, Su Li glanced at Chen Xiang’s house. The door was ajar, and she did not hear any movements in the house.

Su Li first bathed the two little guys, then took a shower herself. She really couldn’t stand the stench of sweat.

There were too many smelly clothes at home. In order to earn sufficient money to pay Wang Chunhua every month, one could count the number of days He Yufeng was at home on one hand.

The original owner of the body was a person who was extremely lazy. She would avoid washing her own clothes if she could, and the clothes of these two children had never been washed.

Every time, the brothers would either throw the clothes into the water and stir them before taking them out to dry, or He Yufeng would hurriedly wash them after returning from hunting.

Su Li sighed as she cleaned up.

She placed all the dirty clothes in the bamboo basket and carried it towards the river.

With so many clothes, it would be a waste of water to wash them at home. Moreover, the half a vat of water was probably not enough for her to wash the clothes for the first time.

Along the way, Su Li received many strange looks, especially when everyone saw her carrying a bamboo basket of clothes. Their expressions were as if they had seen a ghost.

When they reached the river, there was no one by the river. Everyone usually got up at dawn to wash their things. When the sun came out, they still had to rush to the fields to work. There was really no one like Su Li who came to wash clothes in the evening!

Su Li was not used to washing things with soap pods. She planned to make some soap herself. Not only could she use it herself, but she could also sell it at the market.

His family was really too short of money. If He Yufeng was the only one earning money, they would probably have to live in that dilapidated house for the rest of their lives!

Su Li lowered her head and washed her clothes seriously. She did not notice that there was a black shadow on the river.
