Chapter 427 Let Wei Yi also watch
"Hehe, I feel a little embarrassed after eating so much good food."
I'll come and help you out tomorrow.
Wen Luozhi was teaching Fang Da and Fang Er when she heard this. She looked up and said, "You should watch carefully too; you might find it useful."
Fang Da and Fang Er are going to leave, but if Wei Yi learns it, it will be a good way to make a living.
Although Wei Yi's actions suggest he's not very bright, he's not a bad person, doesn't freeload, and even knows how to take on extra work.
Wei Yi was taken aback for a moment, then his face lit up with joy. He happily circled around Wen Luozhi, saying, "Then I'll be even more embarrassed! I'll help you burn all the charcoal before I leave today."
Wen Luozhi: ...
Feeling embarrassed? I didn't see you feeling embarrassed at all after eating so much...
She didn't care about the little food at all, and told Wei Yi not to rush to burn firewood and to learn from Fang Da and Fang Er first.
The three of them studied diligently, and even those that failed were not wasted, so they let Wen Luozhi salvage them so they could eat them too.
He practiced for an hour, and it was almost evening. Wei Yi finished burning firewood and limped away.
Wen Luozhi called out to him, "Eat before you go. You'll get food if you work for me."
She looked at the pile of charcoal that had been burned and the firewood neatly arranged in the corner with great satisfaction.
Thankfully, he's an honest and reliable person; if he were a sly and deceitful person, he should have been kicked out long ago.
"Thank you so much." Wei Yi was extremely awkward. He remembered being beaten by her for pretending to be a ghost last night, and in a fit of anger, he even wanted to pinch her, but he felt very ashamed.
"Yesterday... I'm so sorry about yesterday."
Wen Luozhi shrugged dismissively, but Fang Er patted him on the shoulder and said magnanimously, "Our master isn't the petty kind of person. He just needs to know he's wrong and correct it."
Their relationship actually improved quite a bit over the course of the afternoon; probably because they were both pitiful people.
Wei Yi was an orphan. An old widower took him in but died not long after he was taken in, though he left Wei Yi some money to survive.
Even a little kid like him doesn't know how to earn money. He can only hold onto his meager savings, wishing he could split every copper coin in half to spend.
Having been idle for so long, he finally found a place to make money, only to encounter Yin Huazi.
When he took a break and went to find that person again, the person no longer needed workers.
Fang Da and Fang Er immediately fell in love with him, even though the two brothers had also had many misfortunes.
Dinner consisted of two dishes and a soup, all of which were meat dishes.
The group felt it was inappropriate and insisted on waiting for Wen Luozhi and Helian Zhiyan to eat before they ate.
The two men only suffered minor injuries after finishing their meal, while Fang Da and the others ate until their bellies were round.
After cleaning everything up, the group left together. When they got to the door, Wei Yi realized he had forgotten to remind Wen Luozhi.
He turned back and said, "You'd better be careful tonight; there are a lot of bad guys in this town."
"They even rob ordinary wealthy people, let alone someone like you swaggering around like this."
He had encountered many thieves when he went out at night with Yin Huazi before. It wasn't like there hadn't been cases of murder for money in the town before; just thinking about it was terrifying.
Wen Luozhi patted Lang Batian's head and pointed to the spiked club on the table, the meaning of which was self-evident.
They were dressed like ordinary people when they came to town, except they had a slightly nicer carriage.
I don't know how those people could tell they were rich.
There was indeed some noise at the door in the middle of the night. Wolf Batian went out several times before it finally quieted down at dawn.
When Granny Mi came to return the bowl, she saw the messy footprints at the door and knew that someone must have come at night, and quite a few at that. The footprints, which were of different lengths and sizes, were obvious at a glance.
Wen Luozhi was exercising in the yard when she saw her through the half-open door and beckoned her to come in.
"You didn't sleep well last night, did you? If you really can't sleep, you can try somewhere else."
Grandma Mi came in and looked at her with some worry on her face.
If it really were a man, she wouldn't have said so much; but since the other party was a girl, she wouldn't feel at ease accepting the money if something happened to her.
Wen Luozhi poured her a glass of water and said with a smile, "I'm very comfortable here, thank you for your trouble. I wouldn't have liked any other place."
Grandma Mi gave a few more instructions, which Wen Luozhi noted down one by one. Only in a flash did she realize there was another person outside the door.
"Hmm?" She lifted her leg to walk towards the door, but Grandma Mi stood up and stopped her: "Don't worry about her, she's my little granddaughter."
She sighed softly, and Wen Luozhi walked past her. "How can you stay outside? Won't you be afraid if she can't see you?"
Grandma Mi followed behind her. When Wen Luozhi arrived at the door and saw the little girl, she was stunned for a moment.
"Why are you outside? Come inside with me, okay? There's a cute boy inside you can play with."
The little girl looked about the same age as Helian Zhiyan. When she saw Wen Luozhi come out, she immediately raised her hand to cover half of her face.
Helian Zhiyan ran out from inside and her eyes lit up when she saw the little girl.
It was really boring for her to have no one to play with, and she couldn't run around like she used to in Shanquan Village.
She pulled down the little girl's hand and exclaimed in surprise when she saw the red birthmark on her face:
"So beautiful! It's like the sunset glow!"
Grandma Mi was stunned. She thought Helian Zhiyan was joking, but seeing the sincerity in her eyes, she knew it wasn't fake.
"Do you want to play with me?" Helian Zhiyan asked with a smile.
Xiao Songyin blinked, and with Helian Zhiyan pulling her hands, she could no longer cover her face.
She glanced at Wen Luozhi and noticed that Wen Luozhi was also smiling at her without a trace of disgust or aversion on her face.
Unlike the other people in town, whose first reaction upon seeing her was to keep their distance.
Grandma Mi smiled slightly and patted Xiao Songyin's head. "Xiao Yan is asking you, do you want to play together?"
"Mmm," Xiao Songyin nodded, and Helian Zhiyan happily took her hand and led her into the courtyard.
After the two children went inside, Grandma Mi explained why she had intentionally stopped them earlier.
“My little granddaughter has had this mark on her face since she was little. My daughter-in-law abandoned her because she thought it was bad luck, and my son died young.”
Wen Luozhi listened quietly, and Granny Mi smiled and said, "Just now she was afraid of scaring you and wouldn't come in with me no matter what, but look how happy she is having now."
In the courtyard, Helian Zhiyan was already playing with Songyin, along with Lang Batian.
Two people and a wolf were playing a game of eagle catching chicks, and Songyin hid behind Helian Zhiyan and giggled.
As soon as Fang Da and the others entered, Song Yin immediately hid behind Helian Zhiyan.
The three were completely baffled, but Wen Luozhi gave them a look and they immediately went back to what they were doing.
"Are you going to set up a stall?" Grandma Mi asked, seeing the items on the cart.
Wen Luozhi nodded and said a few words to her, telling Fang Da and the others to leave first. Seeing that there were no men around, Granny Mi pulled her aside and whispered:
"They don't know you're a girl yet, do they? Don't blame your mother-in-law for being talkative, but you have to be careful not to give anything away."
Wen Luozhi patted her hand and smiled knowingly, "Don't worry, Mother-in-law, experience counts. They're no match for you; you saw right through them."
Grandma Mi was relieved and invited Songyin to go home with her.
The little girl hesitated, seemingly reluctant to leave. Helian Zhiyan, who had finally found a playmate, was also reluctant to part with her.
