Chapter 3 Qi Yao and Her Mom Came to Look for Trouble

“Qi Yao, do you still have something you want to say now?”

Ouyang Xun looked sullen, glaring at Qi Yao, his two fists squeezed tightly, it seems as if he wants to beat her up in public.

Qi Yao still wants to retort, but helpless because the evidence and witness is all present, she can only burst into tears, “That’s right, it’s me who brought Lingling to play at the reservoir, it’s me who didn’t take good care of her……I just only wanted to joke around with her, there’s also no malice, it’s all blamed on me then, alright?”

This kind of manipulation not only made Ouyang Xun react ignorantly, but also the adults nearby, how can there be such a fierce little girl, throwing a fit because of a mistake made by herself, as if she was greatly wronged by heaven.

Mei Xiaoran was unwilling to continue watching it anymore and chided, “Just admit it if you made a mistake, even if you got beaten up for it you should still stand straight, but Qi Yao, what is the meaning with this attitude of yours?”

Who knew she had just finished saying this, Qi Yao jumped up like a flared up cat, “I also didn’t mean it, you all targeted me like this, do you all want to force me to jump down before feeling at ease?”

What kind of talk is this?

The adults nearby already can’t stand it anymore, there’s one middle-aged man in his forties who directly criticized her, “Little girl, you brought your younger cousin to the reservoir, even almost pushed her to the waste pond, this is definitely your wrong, how can you say that everyone is targeting you? You really have to reflect on yourself already! “

Who knows, Qi Yao loudly cried when she heard this and complained, “You are all blaming me, I didn’t do it on purpose, I……all in all it’s better if I just jump down!”

Finished speaking, making a movement as if she wants to jump towards the waste pond.

Mei Xiaoran clearly noticed, Qi Yao only moved both of her arms and foot, but the heels were firmly grasped on the ground, it’s only a bluffing act for scaring people.

But this action of Qi Yao terrified a group of people, Ouyang Xun tightly grabbed her arm and sternly shouted, “Qi Yao, what trouble are you gonna make? Will you then feel satisfied if you stirred up a huge problem? If you really got into an accident, how will I explain it to your mother? “

Really, if one lives longer one will see much more!

Mei Xiaoran was also in her forties before she was reborn, and she has never seen such a little girl with a stomach full of tricks, this is really unbearable!

Ouyang Xun dragged Qi Yao away from the dam: “It’s not safe here, let’s go down first……”

When the adults saw this, they also rushed the children back: “You guys go back too, don’t randomly run around on the river bank, it is really dangerous there, one carelessness and you will fall down. Who still dares to play here, we will inform the adult in your family, then you can see how they peel off your skin! “

After the fright, the children lost the mood to play in the reservoir, and they also were afraid that the adults would really report it , they spontaneously disperse by themselves.

Ouyang Ling also hurriedly eyed Mei Xiaoran to say “thank you” and left the dam along with everyone.

“Let us go too.”

Mei Xiaoran saw that the time is not early anymore, and urged her little friends to go home.

Wang Ke was still incessantly furious, despicably said: “How can there be such a person, this Qi Yao is really annoying!”

Lu Xia pulled her to walk away: “Don’t be angry anymore, let us also go back quickly, after this kind of thing that happened today, afraid in the future we won’t be able to go play at the reservoir anymore.”

Mei Xiaoran advised the two of them, “Anyway, the summer vacation is coming to an end, and we can’t play any more even if we want to, the rest of this couple days it’s better for us to check our homework again, otherwise wait to be muddle headed later.” She knew that the middle and primary schools would start on August 30, so these words were not for scare.

“Ranran, when did you become so interested in studying?”

Mei Xiaoran said inwardly: I also learned the importance of studying later on, but at that time it was already too late!

About twenty minutes later, the three girls returned to the small street in Dongguan where they resided.

Walking into the familiar small street once again, Mei Xiaoran was filled with emotion.

This place is where she grew up, but later the city developed and this small street was demolished. She didn’t expect to be able to come back again after twenty or thirty years, and to walk back to this small street again, the feeling of a long-lost intimacy made her particularly excited.

The small brick-and-grey courtyard on the street has ink paintings of dragons and phoenixes on the walls, the “home” in memory is still so warm. Opening the courtyard door, the two cicadas on top of the chinese parasol trees in the yard have yet to know the weariness of singing, under the corner of the wall the wild dandelion blooms, in front of the central room’s door hung a bamboo screens for heat insulation and to ward off mosquitoes.

Mei Xiaoran walked over faster, from her original three steps diminished into two steps, lifting the bamboo curtain up ……

Mei Xiaolei, her only younger brother who sat on the chair reading a comic book, saw her coming back and asked, “Older Sister, I’m hungry, what shall we eat tonight?”

Mei Xiaoran was older than her younger brother by only one year, their sister and brother relationship was really good, because usually their parents are rather busy, during the holiday it was Mei Xiaoran that was responsible for making the dinner. She fully stared at her brother for five minutes, until her eyes were a little wet, only then she said: “What do you want to eat? Or, buy a few buns to fill you up first?”

The economic reforms in 1978 have not yet happened, if ordinary families can eat something made from wheat flour, it was considered already living a good life. Occasionally there would be some that sell buns, which was being regarded as a very valuable thing and not something that everyone was willing to eat!

Mei Xiaolei jumped up excitedly: “Older Sister, do you have money?”

“You just wait.”

Mei Xiaoran went to a place where the private savings were usually stored away, this search really made her find out two Yuan from the private savings, she took one Yuan and went out to buy buns for her younger brother.

In times of scarce supplies, even selling buns had to be sneaky and if caught would be accused of engaging in an elicit trading, according to the memory, Mei Xiaoran walked towards an alley in the small street.

The elder brother who sell the bun had a basket in his arms and was standing while leaning against the wall. When he saw Mei Xiaoran coming, he whispered in a low voice, “Do you want it or not?”

This really feels as if they are doing some underground secret intelligence activity.

Mei Xiaoran nodded her head and raised all five of her fingers.

The eldest brother selling the buns took out five buns, wrapped them nicely with paper and stuffed it over, Mei Xiaoran also took the opportunity to pass one Yuan money to him.

This bun is nothing to Mei Xiaoran who had experienced much of life, but in that era, it was almost the same as eating the meat……the crucial point is everyone was poor, let alone meat, they even can’t afford a bun!

Holding the five buns, Mei Xiaoran hurried home happily, before she even reached the door, suddenly a middle-aged woman rushed out from a corner, grabbed her and asked angrily, “You are called Mei Xiaoran? Why do you bully my daughter? Why speak ill of my daughter? “

This matter is not making any head or tail at all!

Mei Xiaoran was a little confused, but when she saw Qi Yao standing behind the middle-aged woman, she then understood everything.

“Say it again Yaoyao, how did she bully you today?”

Qi Yao glanced at Mei Xiaoran, and both eyes were already swollen like walnuts, just sobbed and didn’t say anything.

Mei Xiaoran suppressed a stomach full of anger and asked her directly, “Qi Yao, when did I bully you? When did I say bad things about you? You took Ouyang Ling to the reservoir and pushed her down from the dam, you did something wrong yourself, but still wants to put the blame on me? “

Qi Yao’s mother obviously didn’t know about this, hearing Mei Xiaoran’s words, she quickly asked her daughter, “Yaoyao, what’s going on actually? Lingling is your younger cousin, how could you push her down the dam? “
