It was obvious she came with ill intention today. It was no wonder he had felt a strong premonition in his heart!
“You go ahead. I will take watch here.” Aunt Li nodded and, just like him, ignored Li Chunmei.
Ye Ling nodded, turned around, and continued heading up. Hei Xiaomeng ran in front of him eagerly.
In response, Li Chunmei could only watch as the intended target of her trap disappeared from her sight. She had no way of making him stay.
After a short while, Aunt Li saw she still wasn’t going to leave. She just kept on staring at the stairs and it wasn’t clear what she was thinking. Aunt Li said unkindly to her, “Li Chunmei, why are you still standing there? Don’t you have any work you need to do at your house?”
She was not an idiot. Li Chunmei had suddenly fallen down not far from Ye Ling. This showed she was definitely trying to do something but she didn’t succeed! She felt even more disgusted with Li Chunmei in her heart.
She didn’t succeed the last time but she still wanted to scheme?
Li Chunmei finally looked away from the stairs when she heard her. She could tell Aunt Li didn’t like her from her voice. One could even go so far as to say she looked down on her and hated her. “Aunt Li, my mom asked me to sell these tomatoes.”
What she implied was that there was farm work to do, however, coming here to sell tomatoes was also part of her work.
“We already told you guys that we won’t buy the tomatoes from your family. You don’t need to bring the tomatoes here in the future.”
She wouldn’t want to buy from them even if Liu Duo didn’t say they wouldn’t buy their family’s tomatoes.
Li Chunmei was very pissed off at what Aunt Li said to her. What right did she have to chase her away?
None of the villagers knew Li Wazi’s family were partners with Ye Yang’s family in helping to buy the tomatoes and making the tomato sauce.
“Aunt Li, I call you Aunt Li because you are my elder. What does it have anything to do with you if I leave? Moreover, what right do you have to chase me away? Are you the boss? Ling and the others are the bosses.” Li Chunmei shot back at her. There was a nest of fire in her heart!
Aunt Li listened to her arrogant tone but she didn’t get angry. Instead, she just disliked her even more and said with an even heavier tone, “My right as Little Yang and the others’ aunt! I have no need to tell you if I am the boss. Quickly take your bamboo basket and leave. Don’t think that you are able to hide your wicked intentions from others!”
She didn’t hide the utter contempt she had for her in her eyes at all.
Li Chunmei couldn’t maintain the expression on her face when her intention was exposed. However, she still tried to distort what was right and said speciously, “Be careful what you say! Don’t think you can slander people like this because you are an elder. I am here to sell tomatoes. What wicked intention do I have?”
“You yourself know whether or not you have any wicked intention! You better leave quickly or else I’m going to get a broom to see you out.” Aunt Li couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath by trying to reason with her. She went to the side to get a broom and then raised it up with her hands.
When Li Chunmei saw this, she glared at Aunt Li but she didn’t dare to fight with her. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t be able to come back anymore. And so, she took her bamboo basket and left reluctantly, huffing and puffing all the while.
Aunt Li looked at her back as she left and muttered to herself, “At least you are tactful!”
Although she never went to school, she still understood the principle that one should not have the intention to harm others in one’s heart.
Ye Ling arrived on the fourth floor and stood on the balcony. He looked at Li Chunmei as she came out from their yard and muttered in his heart, In the future, I definitely should not interact with a girl while I am alone!
Thinking about this made him feel scared. If Li Chunmei had fallen on his body just now, he definitely wouldn’t be able to prove himself innocent no matter how right he was!
