Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Looking at Yang Cailan’s smiling face, asking Liu Dahu if he was thirsty, Liu Dahu subconsciously raised his sickle and pointed it at Yang Cailan. He asked, “What are you doing?”
Yang Cailan immediately put on a pitiful expression and said, “Liu Baishan, your nephew actually pointed his sickle at me. What did I do wrong?”
Liu Baishan had just erected the last bundle of wheat. Seeing Liu Dahu’s action, he reached out and took the sickle down. “What are you doing? Do you think it’s funny Auntie Lan?”
Liu Dahu felt that he had been wronged.
Yang Cailan stuck her tongue out at Liu Dahu, fearless.
Liu Dahu complained, “Uncle Shan, I seriously suspected that Auntie Lan drugged my drink.”
Actually, Yang Cailan had indeed added some herbs to the water. She scooped a large spoonful of it into a large bowl and handed it to Liu Baishan. She said, “I drugged it. Do you want to drink it?”
Liu Baishan looked at the light green water, which smelled sweet and cool. Thinking that it should be herbal tea, he drank it directly. After drinking it, his entire body felt cool. It was completely incomparable to drinking cold water.
In Liu Dahu’s eyes, it was Liu Baishan and Yang Cailan who were trying to trick him. He wanted to resist, but Shui Xian slapped the back of Liu Dahu’s head.
“Brat, drink it or don’t!” said Shui Xian.
Yang Cailan immediately handed the bowl to Shui Xian and explained, “Mother, I made this with mint, honeysuckles, and licorice. I added a little honey so that it could help cool us down and relieve the heat!”
Hearing Yang Cailan’s words, Shui Xian felt that it was definitely delicious. Usually, they would not be so particular about drinking water.
“Grandma, Auntie Lan must be lying. How can we afford honey?” Liu Dahu tried his best to put on a show for Yang Cailan and was reprimanded by Shui Xian.
Yang Cailan pointed at an old tree not far away and said, “There’s a beehive up there. I asked the old tree for some when I passed by.”
Liu Dahu laughed, “You can communicate with the tree? Oh my, you’re so funny!”
Yang Cailan frowned and thought, ‘This little brat was so annoying!’ She shook Liu Baishan’s arm and said, “I didn’t lie!”
Liu Baishan also wanted to ask how Yang Cailan got it from the old tree. However, when he met Yang Cailan’s gaze, he felt that if he said he didn’t believe it, Yang Cailan would definitely cry. “Yes, he’s a brat. He needs to be taught a lesson!”
“Uncle Shan, you’ve changed!” Liu Dahu exclaimed.
Liu Baishan nodded and touched his face. He said, “I did change.”
Liu Dahu was furious. He thought, ‘Was he referring to his face? This was starting to make no sense!’
Liu Dahu was so angry that he wanted to leave, but he was so thirsty that he poured himself a bowl and drank it in one gulp. Somehow, he realized that the drink was delicious.
“Dahu, didn’t you say the drink is drugged? Why are you drinking it now?” Yang Cailan asked.
Liu Dahu said, “Just wait. I’ll settle the score with you if anything happens to me!”
Yang Cailan replied with an “oh” and did not say anything else.
This made Liu Dahu feel very strange. He suspected, ‘Auntie Lan’s personality did not seem like she would not reply.’
Liu Dahu stuck his head out and leaned in front of Yang Cailan. He wondered, ‘Was she crying because of me?’
As soon as Liu Dahu reached his head out, Yang Cailan pinched his ears.
“It hurts…” Liu Dahu immediately shouted.
Yang Cailan said,” That’s right. Now tell me, did I ask the old tree for the honey?”
Liu Dahu paused. He pondered, ‘Isn’t her focus a little too strange?’
After teaching Liu Dahu a lesson, Yang Cailan also began to work. She held the wheat ear and followed behind Liu Baishan like a little tail.
“Why do we have to go through so much trouble? I can make them come out on their own.” Yang Cailan pointed at the wheat in the field and said seriously. She knew these wheat were very obedient. They will do what they were told, such as peeling off the seeds themselves, it was very easy. She could not understand why they had to harvest the wheat.
Liu Baishan thought that Yang Cailan was bored. After all, wheat could not come out on its own. He happened to see a black nightshade on the ground. He plucked it off and placed it in Yang Cailan’s hand. He said, “For you to eat. I’ll continue with the work. I still have to finish collecting this piece of land today!”
Yang Cailan had no choice but to eat the fruit. She heard a scream as soon as she ate one. She immediately squatted down and followed the sound.
Liu Dahu happened to see it and thought that Yang Cailan must be lazy. He had to catch her and followed behind her with the sickle.
Not long after, Liu Dahu heard Yang Cailan say to someone, “Stop them.”
The next second, Yang Cailan stood up and smiled, “I caught it!”
Liu Dahu poked his head out and saw that Yang Cailan had caught a nest of wild rabbits!
