My humble days in ancient times

Du Lei frowned and said, "Sister, this is something the eldest lady specifically ordered to be hung here. I really can't make the decision. Besides, it's hung here for a reason. Please don't make it difficult for me."

Jiang's face turned very ugly, and she raised her voice and said, "What's the reason? Even if my husband is wrong, he shouldn't be humiliated like this!"

At this time, Xu Ruyi happened to come over to get some chili oil, so she walked in and said, "Aunt Jiang, this portrait is not hung here to humiliate anyone, but to remind everyone so that they dare not make the same mistake again."

Jiang glared at Xu Ruyi and said, "Xu Ruyi, don't go too far! My husband has already been punished, what else do you want?"

Xu Ruyi said calmly, "I don't want anything. I just hope our village can be peaceful and there will be no more thefts."

Jiang was so angry that she was shaking all over. She said, "You...you are deliberately targeting us!"

Xu Ruyi shook her head and said, "Aunt Jiang, if you can take good care of Wang Erdan and make him reform, the portrait will naturally be taken down in the future."

Jiang was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, I will watch him, but you have to keep your word." After that, she turned and left.

Everyone looked at Jiang's departing back, then looked at Xu Ruyi, not knowing what to say for a moment.

As Aunt Zhang left, she whispered to Xu Ruyi, "Ruyi, it's not easy for Jiang either. Don't take it to heart."

Xu Ruyi smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Aunt Zhang. I understand. As long as Wang Erdan can change for the better, this matter will be over."

However, after Jiang returned home, she became more and more angry and started scolding Wang Erdan.

Wang Erdan looked impatient: "Alright, alright, stop arguing, can't I change it?" Although he said this, he was very angry in his heart.

Jiang said, "You must keep your word this time, otherwise we won't be able to hold our heads up high in the village. Today is truly too embarrassing."

After Luo Daying returned, he didn't even have time to catch his breath before he couldn't wait to tell Huang Guiyun about this.

When Huang Guiyun heard this, his face turned ashen instantly, his eyes widened, anger burned in his heart, and he was completely furious.

She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh, and kept cursing in her heart: "Damn Xu Ruyi, how dare he hang my portrait on the wall and let everyone laugh at me? I swear I will not be a human being until I avenge this!" The hatred for Xu Ruyi in her heart grew like weeds, becoming increasingly uncontrollable.

Huang Guiyun was not the kind of person who could swallow her anger. She rushed to Xu Ruyi's house in a hurry.

Huang Guiyun's face was filled with rage. He put his hands on his hips, pointed at Xu Ruyi, and began to curse: "You little bastard, how dare you be so bold? Do you have any shame? What gives you the right to paint my portrait? You are deliberately making things difficult for me and embarrassing me, aren't you?"

Seeing her crazy look, Xu Ruyi felt annoyed. Without saying a word, she slammed the door shut and left with her brother, sister and younger brother without looking back.

Huang Guiyun was stunned and stood there for a while, feeling disheveled in the cold wind.

Huang Guiyun was still not satisfied, so she ran to the headman's house angrily.

The village head and his wife were busy steaming buns in the house. The steam filled the air and the whole house was filled with the aroma of buns. The village head and his wife were so busy that they had no time to pay attention to her.

Huang Guiyun said with a look of grievance, "Uncle Village Head, that girl Xu Ruyi has gone too far. She drew a portrait of Wang Erdan and me and hung it on the wall in the new house. Isn't it obvious that she wants to humiliate us?"

When the village head and Zhou heard this, they were stunned at first, then almost laughed out loud. The village head suppressed his laughter and said seriously, "She's in her own home, she can do whatever she wants, how can I control her? She didn't put up your portraits outside, how can I control her? Don't take this matter too seriously."

Mrs. Zhou also advised, "Calm down, don't be angry, it's almost New Year's Day. Don't get angry with that little girl, it's not worth it. Just relax and don't let such a small thing ruin your mood."

Huang Guiyun saw that the village head and his wife didn't help her, and her anger grew even more intense. She shouted, "How can you say that? Am I so easy to bully?"

The village head frowned and said, "Huang Guiyun, don't you have any idea of ​​what you do every day? Xu Ruyi did this to teach you a lesson."

Huang Guiyun stamped her feet in anger: "Uncle Village Head, why are you siding with her?"

The village head put down his work and said sternly, "I'm not taking sides with anyone. I'm just discussing the facts. If you behave properly, why would you be afraid of what others say?"

Huang Guiyun was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute. He stood there with his face turning pale and blue.

Seeing her like this, Zhou said again: "Guiyun, listen to your aunt's advice, go back and think carefully, and don't do things that make people poke fun at you in the future."

Huang Guiyun snorted, turned around and ran out.

Huang Guiyun kept cursing all the way home. When she got home, she locked herself in her room, feeling increasingly aggrieved. With nowhere to vent, she could only sulk.

When Xu Shi came in, he saw Huang Guiyun's face, furrowed with anger, and asked hurriedly, "What happened again? Who made you angry again? Look at you, you're so angry."

Huang Guiyun sat up abruptly and said angrily, "Who else could it be besides Xu Ruyi? That girl is simply lawless!"

When Xu Shi heard it was Xu Ruyi, he said nonchalantly, "Why would she make you angry? What can a little girl like her do?"

Huang Guiyun rolled her eyes at him fiercely and raised her voice, saying, "She drew a picture of me and Wang Erdan and hung it on the wall of the new house, letting everyone see the joke. Isn't that infuriating? Isn't this clearly a deliberate attempt to humiliate me?"

Xu Shi couldn't help wanting to laugh after hearing this, but he suppressed it and said, "People are afraid of being famous, just like pigs are afraid of being fat. But don't be angry, maybe it was Du Lei who drew it? Maybe it has nothing to do with Xu Ruyi."

Huang Guiyun frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "He doesn't know me, so it's probably Xu Ruyi who did it. That girl is a troublemaker, always trying to make things difficult for me."

On Xu Ruyi's side, the four brothers and sisters happily went to Aunt Zhang's house to play for a while, and came back when they saw Huang Guiyun left.

Xu Ruyi carefully mixed the meat and cabbage together, and skillfully added chopped green onion, ginger, garlic and various seasonings, then stirred vigorously until evenly mixed. The rich aroma instantly filled the entire room.

At this time, Xu Qinghe came in humming a little tune. As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said, "Oh, this dumpling filling smells so delicious. Just smelling it, I can eat a few more bowls of dumplings."

Xu Ruyi looked up at him and said coquettishly, "Brother, you just know how to talk nonsense. Come and help me make dumplings, don't just stand there and talk." Xu Qinghe responded, quickly washed his hands, and sat down at the table to make dumplings with Xu Ruyi.

Xu Ruyuan and Xu Qingyan also came running over, happily washed their hands and prepared to help.

As usual, Xu Ruyi skillfully rolled out the dumpling wrappers while they were responsible for making the dumplings.

Xu Qingyan was also able to make some dumplings properly, and although he still looked a little clumsy, he was also somewhat cute. Xu Ruyuan was already making dumplings very well, and each one was small and exquisite.

Xu Ruyi looked at her and smiled and said, "It would be nice for you to be a cook in the future."
