To make up for the debt owed to Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

When Yun Xiaoshan heard her sigh, his eyes dimmed.

"Xiaoshan, let's be good friends forever, just like before, okay?" Xiaomai said softly.

Yun Xiaoshan's eyes were red, clearly indicating her reluctance.

“Xiaoshan,” Xiaomai said, “we grew up together. I even remember what you smelled like when you pooped. How could we…”

"what--"

Before Xiaomai could finish speaking, Yun Xiaoshan let out a strange cry and ran into the house.

What a shame!

What a shame!

Yun Xiaoshan, who had run into the house, finally burst into tears, followed by Liu Yan's grief-stricken voice, "What happened to you? What did they do to you? Did they bully you? Lin Qingping! I'll never forgive you!"

Hearing the crying and cursing, Xiaomai suddenly found it funny, and the anger she had felt because of Liu Yan's words dissipated.

There's really nothing to get angry at with this kind of person; it only lowers your own standing.

When she met up with Lin Qingping and the others, she noticed Zhiyuan's eyes, which looked like they were on fire.

She lowered her head, looking helpless.

The family went home awkwardly.

Having failed to get a meal at Liu Yan's house, Lin Qingping naturally invited Gu Youlian to stay for a meal at her own home. Even the slow-witted Gu Youlian realized one thing: the children had grown up.

She ate her meal at Lin Qingping's house with a heavy heart, and then hurriedly took Xiaomai back home.

Lin Qingping, meanwhile, talked with Zhiyuan at home.

She hadn't originally planned to get involved in the children's affairs, but now things seemed to be getting a bit chaotic, and she needed to sort things out.

As soon as Zhiyuan was called into Lin Qingping's room, he knew what Lin Qingping wanted to say to him, so he lowered his head.

"Who did you fight with?" Lin Qingping asked, pointing to the bruises on his face that hadn't yet faded.

Zhiyuan felt that this matter couldn't be kept secret forever, and the parents would find out sooner or later, so he frankly said, "Little Round Face."

Lin Qingping remained silent for a while.

Sure, so what kind of drama is this? Willing to go to great lengths for a brother, but willing to stab a brother in the back for a girl?

"For wheat?" she asked directly.

"Yes!" he said, quite confidently.

Lin Qingping nodded. "Alright, tell me your thoughts."

"When I left the capital, I entrusted the wheat to them, asking them to protect and take care of it. And what happened? Good heavens, it's hard to guard against a thief within the family! The people I trusted most dared to have ulterior motives towards the wheat! I'll beat them so badly they won't dare to come out for a stroll, or I'm not Li!" Zhiyuan rarely gets angry, but now he's getting angrier and angrier as he talks.

Lin Qingping appeared quite calm. "Explain yourself clearly. What do you mean by 'having crooked thoughts'?"

"He...he wrote a letter to Xiaomai! And what he wrote was incredibly indecent!" Zhiyuan became even angrier when he thought about the contents of the letter! "Even a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow!"

"Love letter?" Lin Qingping pointed out the word.

Zhiyuan's ears turned red, then he nodded, "I'm so angry, shameless!"

“Zhiyuan, how can that round-faced girl be shameless?” Lin Qingping retorted. “Doesn’t Xiaomai deserve a boy’s admiration?”

"No..." Zhiyuan was speechless. "How could he... how could Little Round Face do that? No, we're still so young, how could he?"

"Still young?" Lin Qingping said to him, "Why didn't you say you were young when you asked your Uncle Tian for wine?"

"No, how can these be the same..." Zhiyuan suddenly realized something: they really weren't young anymore...
