Yun Jianzhou's words were firm and powerful, completely in line with Yun Que'er's thoughts. Every sentence blocked the village head's way out.
Anyway, if he wanted to come up today, he had to agree to the Yun family's demands.
The village head's face turned as red as pig liver. He finally understood that one couldn't easily let others grasp one's weakness, or else one would have to suffer.
Seeing the raindrops getting denser and denser, Yun Fujin was worried that Yun Que'er would catch a cold, so he picked her up and wrapped her in his own clothes.
"Let's go. Don't catch a cold."
Finally, the village head broke down and quickly called out.
"Fine, fine, fine. I agree to you. I've never seen people like you! Pushing your luck and wanting everything! Let's see what good fortune you'll have in the future!"
Yun Que'er finally got what she wanted and was satisfied.
She winked at Yun Jianzhou. "Second brother, pull him up."
Yun Jianzhou quietly gave Yun Que'er a thumbs - up. She was really amazing. She took this opportunity to completely solve the current dilemma.
Yun Jianzhou searched around, found a hemp rope, and lowered it down. He and Yun Fujin pulled the village head up together.
The village head finally escaped from danger. He sat on the ground and gasped for several breaths before he felt alive again.
He just started to glare at the four Yun siblings. "You..."
Just as the village head raised his hand, Yun Que'er interrupted him.
"Village head, you mustn't go back on your word. After all, we've saved your life."
Yun Que'er pounded Yun Fujin's shoulder. "Big brother, I'm hungry. Let's go back and eat."
Yun Fujin smiled and rubbed Yun Que'er's little head. "Okay, I'll add two spoonfuls of sugar for you when we get back."
Yun Jianzhou quickly chased after them. "Big brother, why are you stealing my credit? It was clearly me who promised to give her sugar. You can't just try to make little sister like only you and steal my credit!"
"When did I steal your credit?" Yun Fujin was both amused and helpless.
Yun Yi was extremely happy that her family had got some benefits, but on the surface, she was calm. She also said,
"I want to eat sugar too."
"Everyone will eat sugar today." Yun Jianzhou casually picked up Yun Yi and put her on his shoulder.
Yun Yi was startled and her face turned red immediately.
"Second brother, what are you doing? I'm not a child anymore. Why are you still carrying me?"
Yun Jianzhou pressed down Yun Yi's restless legs. "Come on, I'm just afraid you'll be jealous. Little sister is always in big brother's arms. Let me carry you and make you feel like a child."
"What are you talking nonsense about?" Yun Yi roared. "Put me down quickly!"
Instead of putting her down, Yun Jianzhou took a big step forward, scaring Yun Yi into screaming.
"It's raining! Hurry up! If I let you go back on your own, you wouldn't even be able to swim back when the river floods in the village!"
Yun Fujin couldn't help laughing out loud. He also carried Yun Que'er and followed them.
The village head glared angrily at the figures of the four of them. He was so angry that his insides seemed to explode. At the same time, he had witnessed Yun Que'er's power.
This little girl was not unreasonable. She would first give you a long speech. If that didn't work, she would cry, make a scene, and even threaten to kill herself. Who could stand that?
The village head had suffered a setback this time, but he had no choice but to accept his fate obediently.
As soon as the four siblings entered the house, a downpour came crashing down.
Yun Yi quickly closed the doors and windows that had been blown open by the wind. She rubbed her hands.
"It's really cold when it rains. Second brother, hurry up and start a fire. Let's warm up quickly."
"Got it, got it." Yun Jianzhou was so hungry that his stomach was growling. He quickly built a fire, boiled water, set up a steamer, and threw in some dried sweet potatoes.
Yun Fujin carried Yun Que'er back, planning to help her change clothes. But Yun Que'er was like a little adult and insisted that Yun Fujin turn around while she changed.
Yun Fujin held back his laughter and only turned around after Yun Que'er had changed.
"Little Que'er, when did you become so particular? I used to help you change clothes before."
Yun Que'er pouted. Of course it was different. The previous one was a proper seven - year - old child, while she was in her twenties. How could she still let a young man help her change clothes?
"Because I've grown up." Yun Que'er pretended to be innocent. "I should do things that I can do by myself."
Yun Fujin was almost charmed by Yun Que'er's cute and serious look. He reached out and picked her up.
"I haven't asked you yet. How did you come up with the idea of asking the village head for new land?"
Yun Que'er shook her head and said, "I saw that even a hard - working person like third sister had a hard time cutting grass. It must be a problem with the land. Given the village head's character, if we had just asked him directly, he would definitely not have agreed. So here came the opportunity."
She had really thought a lot.
Yun Fujin rubbed Yun Que'er's head. "You're really amazing. Big brother admires you today. I couldn't even say those things."
Yun Fujin said it casually, but Yun Que'er took it to heart.
She seemed to have been a bit too smart today.
A seven - year - old child, no matter how many tricks she had, couldn't have thought of such a profound problem. It was really suspicious.
Yun Que'er quickly added, "I just wanted everyone in our family to have enough to eat and for our father not to work so hard. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to say those things."
Yun Que'er then hugged Yun Fujin's leg. "Big brother, I was really scared today. I was so afraid that the village head would be angry and drag me into the ditch."
As she said that, Yun Que'er sniffed.
Yun Fujin immediately forgot about other things. He quickly squatted down, rubbed Yun Que'er's little face, and comforted her.
"It's okay, it's okay. Big brother is here. Big brother will definitely protect little Que'er."
Yun Que'er buried her head in Yun Fujin's arms and obediently responded. But in her heart, she secretly thought that she must be a bit more low - key in the future. Otherwise, even if there was nothing wrong, others would notice something strange.
The matter was successfully resolved. The four siblings sat around and had a good meal. Since it was raining, they definitely couldn't go out to work in the afternoon. So they sat around the fire and chatted for a while.
Early the next morning, the heavy rain stopped. The clouds dispersed and the sun peeked out.
Yun Que'er stood in the yard, hands on her hips, holding a huge teacup to rinse her mouth.
As soon as Yun Fujin walked out of the door, he saw Yun Que'er struggling to hold the big teacup. He quickly stepped forward and took it from her.
"Who gave this to you? It's so big."
"Second brother..." Yun Que'er said unclearly.
Yun Jianzhou, who was standing in the corridor basking in the sun, opened his eyes. "Second brother? I might as well be called Third Pot!"
Yun Que'er grinned. "Second brother, shall we go find the village head later?"
Yun Jianzhou rubbed his hands and showed a mischievous smile. "Of course."
