Wen Ruhua’s facial color became even worse when he saw those two. He demanded coldly, “What are you guys doing here? You’re not welcomed here. He Dahua, He Xiaohua, even if everyone in this village fears you two, it doesn’t mean that I’m afraid of you two!”
He Xiaohua looked a little hurt. “Mister Wen, I just came here to bring you some food. Why are you being so mean?”
Ning Shu immediately said, “The lady came here out of good intentions, you shouldn’t be like this. Lady He, we were just getting hungry. Thank you for bringing us food.”
Wen Ruhua’s face turned ashen and he said to Ning Shu, “You’re not allowed to eat it! I, Wen Ruhua, will never accept alms of pity, especially since it’s the people’s blood, sweat, and tears that the village chief snatched.”
He Dahua’s fat face filled with anger as he pointed at Wen Ruhua with his fan. “Surnamed Wen! When has my father ever snatched anything!? Your eyes must be located on your damned ass! Everything here was grown by our family! It seems that it’s not only your brain that has an issue, your vision is problematic too!”
Wen Ruhua replied indifferently, “Who knows?”
“Aiyah, I can’t stand it! He Xiaohua, don’t give to food to someone like this. It’d be better to give it to a dog, since at least a dog would wag its tail in thanks.” The village tyrant, He Dahua shouted towards his sister, “Feeding this kind of person is just wasting food!”
“Big Brother, don’t say that. Mister Wen isn’t that kind of person.” He Xiaohua placed the food on the simple stone table in the courtyard before turning towards Wen Ruhua. “Mister Wen, since you have a guest, you’ll need to entertain her. Just treat this food as my contribution to the children’s tuitions.”
Tsk tsk. As Ning Shu watched from the side, she shook her head. This He Xiaohua was actually a good lady, it was just that her temper wasn’t that good.
“That’s right, that’s right. Thank you, Lady He. We were just getting hungry. I’m Bai Qinxiang, Wen Ruhua’s younger cousin. I came this time to seek help from my cousin,” said Ning Shu.
He Xiaohua’s eyes contained hostility as she placed her hands on her hips and demanded, “What’s your relationship with Mister Wen?”
Ning Shu called Yue Lan over to eat, then replied, “Didn’t I tell you that I’m his younger cousin? Don’t worry, our relationship is purely that of cousins.”
He Xiaohua was doubtious but she accepted it and exhorted for Ning Shu to eat before turning to Wen Ruhua and saying, “Mister Wen, you should also eat a little.”
“I won’t eat it.” Wen Ruhua walked back inside and slammed the door shut.
He Xiaohua’s expression turned a little sad.
Meanwhile, He Dahua casually seated himself next to Ning Shu. It looked as if a large ball of flesh was sitting on the stone stool. He Dahua opened his eyes wide as he looked at Ning Shu. “Beauty ah, why force yourself to stay with someone like Wen Ruhua and suffer with him? Why don’t you come to Big Brother Dahua’s house instead? You could have a nice room and eat meat everyday. There’s no future in staying with someone like Wen Ruhua.”
Ning Shu turned around to look at this fleshy village tyrant. This pair of siblings was really something. The older brother was the village tyrant while the younger sister was the village flower. They were truly outstanding characters.
However, Ning Shu found He Dahua much more pleasing to the eye than Wen Ruhua. In the original storyline, He Dahua had tried to send Mu Yanmeng away partially because he felt bad for Mu Yanmeng, and because his younger sister was madly in love with Wen Ruhua and had asked him to send Mu Yanmeng away.
He Dahua and He Xiaohua weren’t very malicious people. At the very least, their hearts were much more straightforward and kind than Wen Ruhua’s.
Despite being a scholar, Wen Ruhua was ungrateful and heartless. It seemed that all the books he read just served to make him twisted.
#comment: Xiaohua = little flower, Dahua = big flower. Such cute names for siblings lol.
