Chapter 22
When Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan returned to their house, they found that several strings of grapes were missing again. Xu Muan thought that his two sons had stolen them to eat again, so he was immediately filled with anger.
“It wasn’t my brother and me who stole the food, it was someone who broke in and picked the grapes. We even tried to stop him, my brother bit him and I hit him too.” Xiao Xiaodong said.
“Who was it?” Xiao Jingting asked.
“An androgynous person, wearing a pink dress with flowers on it.” Xiao Xiaofan pursed his lips full of grievances.
As soon as Xiao Jingting heard it, he knew that it was Qiu Bai. “This person is so shameless!”
But it was also the original body owner’s fault. There was no smoke without fire. The original body owner shouldn’t have messed with such a person.
Xu Muan took a deep breath, they settled down in this village years ago and they were readily ostracized in the village. But now if they had to find someone to defend them in the village for a few strings of grapes, the villagers would not help them, so he had to calm down and let it go.
Xiao Jingting closed his eyes and breathed out a sigh of helplessness, saying, “It looks like it’s time to raise two spirit dogs.”
Xu Muan sighed lightly and said, “Spirit dogs aren’t cheap!” Now even more money was needed and buying spiritual dog would only slow them down.
Xiao Jingting thought about it for a moment and said, “This can’t be made known to all, but we shouldn’t keep it to ourselves eithert. If people come to pick our grapes up, we don’t know how much loss we will suffer if they make it their habbit. Go and tell the village head that we had burglars in our house, but that there is not many valuble things missing. We will no investigate, however, he should remind the villagers to be careful of the thieves.”
Xu Mu nodded and said, “I know.” In fact, Xu Muan was actually a little surprised, in Xu Muan opinion, Xiao Jingting and Qiu Bai had an affair. But unexpectedly, Xiao Jingting turned his back to Qiu Bai.
Xu Muan looked at the sparse grapes and felt a flesh of pain, originally there were only a few strings of grapes left but Qiu Bai still came to steal them.
Qiu family.
“This grape are actually sweet, and it contains rich aura.” Qiu Li exclaimed. He originally thought that people in the city had too much money to spend, and only after eating these grapes he realized that he was wrong. The grapes planted by Xiao Jingting were really different.
Qiu Bai said indifferently, “Xiao Jingting is a third level Qi Practitioner after all, it is not surprising that the grapes grown by him are full of aura.” Thinking that Xiao Jingting become a Level 3 Qi Practitioner at a young age and might become Level 4 Qi Practitioner soon, Qiu Bai suddenly felt that Xiao Jingting may not be not a good match.
Qiu Bai brought back six strings of grapes, and only half of a string was given to him. When his parents found out that these grapes could improve strength, they gave Qiu Li all five clusters of grapes, hoping that Qiu Li could advance to level 3 Qi Practitioner after eating the grapes. Qiu Bai was a little angry in his heart but there was nothing he could do about it.
Qiu Li ate the grapes and thought about Qiu Bai’s words, but he was jealous and he secretly thought: as a young master of a big family, no matter how lazy and unmotivated he is, a massive amount of resources are given to him, so he will be much stronger for sure. However, I diligently cultivate all day long and am only on the second level of Qi. This world is really unfair.
“Didn’t you said that there is still plenty of grapes there? Why don’t you go pick some more?” Qiu Li asked.
Qiu Bai blushed immediately. It was already eye-catching enough for him to pick such a few strings. How could he pick up all the grapes from others? Besides, the two little kids kept yelling at him and cursing so loudly. Qiu Bai was annoyed that his elder brother would only eat and send him to do all the work.
Relishing the taste of the grapes, Qiu Bai couldn’t help thinking about them. He wanted to go to Xiao Jingting’s house to pick a few more strings of grapes. Anyway, there were still many in Xiao family.
Qiu Bai planned to do so tomorrow. When Qiu father returned home, he gave Qiu Bai a good scolding.
After listening to Qiu father’s words, Qiu Bai face suddenly turned white. Qiu Bai didn’t expect that Xu Muan would directly describe him as a thief. If he bears the name of a thief, how could he marry into a good family in the future!
“The good news is that this isn’t a big deal, so don’t go to the Xiao family in the future.” Qiu father said.
Qiu Bai felt wronged. It was his brother who asked him to steal the grapes, but his father only scolded him when something went wrong.
“Did Xu Muan talk to the village head?” Qiu Bai asked.
Qiu Bai’s father nodded and said, “Yes.”
“He was jealous of me and deliberately made things difficult for me. Xiao Jingting must have been kept in the dark by him.” Qiu Bai said.
Qiu Bai’s father said angrily, “Without Xiao Jingting’s permission, how would Xu Muan dare to do this? You also said that Xiao Jingting would be manipulated by you but now I don’t think he takes you seriously.”
Qiu Bai flushed with shame when he heard what his father said.
Because of Qiu Bai, Xiao Jingting picked up all the grapes of the yard and left only a few strings to eat. The rest was squeezed into grape juice and eaten up together with Xu Muan. Then Xiao Jingting found that Xu Muan had a good appetite.
Maybe it was because Xu Muan hadn’t had any juice before, Xu Muan’s eyes were full of wonder.
“You have a good appetite!” Xiao Jingting joked.
When Xu Muan heard this, he blushed a little, and his face was almost buried in the bowl containing grape juice.
Xiao Jingting looked at Xu Muan’s embarrassed face and only felt that Xu Muan was lovely and cute.
