Chapter 82: Almost Corrupted Her Milksop
When Xie Yuntang saw Mrs. Xie-Qin, he patted the mud off his hands, and ran over. "Mom, why are you here? I was pulling grass with Sister Taozi."
Mrs. Xie-Qin touched his head. "Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired. Sister Taozi didn't let me pull the grass, so I helped her gather it to the side."
Xie Yuntang shook his head, then looked in Su Tao's direction. He said in a distressed voice, "Mom, Sister Taozi is working so hard. Her hands are all red."
Looking at his tender little face, Mrs. Xie-Qin didn’t answer him perfunctorily. She thought seriously before saying, "Your Sister Taozi is definitely working hard, but they will have a house in the future. They won't have to live in a cave anymore. She’ll be able to go home more often from now on."
Xie Yuntang thought about it, and his eyes gradually brightened. Sister Taozi would have a house to live in after working hard. "I’ll help Sister Taozi then."
"Okay, but don't be stubborn. Take a rest if you feel uncomfortable." Mrs. Xie-Qin was of course worried about him. He had never done hard work since he was a child.
Xie Yuntang nodded seriously and assured, "Mom, I know."
The two stood and talked for a while, then Xie Yuntang returned to the field. Su Tao asked curiously, "What did your mother say?"
"Mom said that you can go home more often from now on, Sister Taozi."
Xie Yuntang smiled with his eyes crinkled up, as if he was building his own house.
Milksop really had a good character. Su Tao stared at him for a long time, then lowered her head to pull the grass and sighed. "Milksop, have you always been so gullible?"
He was so gullible that she had no way to deal with him at all.
Xie Yuntang was a little confused, and asked with sincerity in his eyes, "Sister Taozi, why did you say that I’m gullible?"
He must have been gullible to ask such a question. Su Tao raised her finger and pointed at his forehead. "It’s because only gullible people would ask why. Milksop, you’d better speak less when you’re outside, or you'll be cheated without even knowing it."
Xie Yuntang nodded, not quite understanding.
Su Tao’s back ached after spending the afternoon pulling grass. After dinner, she collapsed directly on the small bed and began to order Xie Yuntang around. "Milksop, bring me a quilt."
She wasn’t a helper, but his master instead.
However, Xie Yuntang was indulgent. He came over to pull a quilt over her and said meekly, "Sister Taozi, it’s done."
Su Tao turned her head to look at him and hooked her finger at him. "Milksop, come closer."
When he came closer, she touched his head and said, "You're so good. I'll remember you when I go home."
If she went home, she would definitely miss Milksop.
Xie Yuntang's ears turned red. He stood by the bed for a while, then returned to his own bed and covered himself with the quilt properly.
"Sister Taozi, if you need anything, just call me. I can hear you."
"Go to sleep and stop talking."
"Sister Taozi, I'm going to sleep."
……
The Su family's house was completed at the end of the month. It had three rooms, a hall, and a yard surrounded by a fence outside.
Su Tao chose her own room, which was the room at the edge, by the window. There was no quilt or anything because after all, she didn't sleep there.
Mrs. Su-Qian and the others were extremely jealous and would come to the door to curse every now and then. Lin Sanzhu was smart enough to close the door immediately when she saw her coming.
No matter how much she cursed, Lin Sanzhu refused to open the door. Mrs. Su-Qian would go back after she got tired from scolding.
Sometimes Su Tao wondered if Mrs. Su-Qian would go crazy if she kept scolding like that all day.
It would be great if that were the case. She would "take care of" Mrs. Su-Qian.
This day, in the school.
The teacher finished the first class in the morning. Su Tao felt the urge to pee, so she got up and went to the toilet outside.
Zhou Sheng, who was sitting behind, tugged at Xie Yuntang's collar, and said mysteriously, "Yuntang, come here. I'll show you something good."
Xie Yuntang stood up and walked over. "What?"
Zheng Duoyin also came over. "What’s it? I want to see it too."
Zhou Sheng took out a yellowed book from the drawer and said excitedly, "I found this among my father’s stuff. It might be a secret manual of martial arts moves."
Children of their age were particularly interested in martial arts.
They flipped a page and saw two overlapping little figures.
It was hard to tell whether they were men or women, but it seemed like they were fighting.
Zheng Duoyin and Xie Yuntang were clueless. Zheng Duoyin pointed at the little figure on top and asked, "What's this move?"
"I don't know either. Look, this guy knocked him down. How powerful." Zhou Sheng gestured with his hands excitedly.
When Su Tao came back, the three of them were standing around looking. She walked over, patted Xie Yuntang on the shoulder, and asked in puzzlement, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Sheng was startled, but he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that it was her. He showed the book to her. "Big Sister, you scared me to death. Let's look at the martial arts secret manual again."
Martial arts secret manual?
Su Tao took the book from his hand and flipped through two or three pages. "..."
This wasn’t a martial arts secret manual at all. It was clearly a pornographic book, but it was so crudely drawn that children couldn’t understand it.
She glanced at them. They all looked innocent, and it was obvious that they thought this was a martial arts secret manual.
The corners of her mouth twitched. She slammed the book shut, handed it back to Zhou Sheng, and threatened, "Don't read it, or you might get possessed. Milksop, come back and sit down."
Xie Yuntang always listened to her, and hurriedly sat back. After Su Tao sat down, she propped up her head and stared at him, warning him, "Milksop, you aren’t allowed to look at it again. Wait until you’re an adult."
Milksop was clean, soft, and easy to bully.
Since Sister Taozi didn’t want him to look, he would obey her. Xie Yuntang nodded softly.
At noon, when a group of children were crossing the dam together, two girls about eleven or twelve years old passed by.
A boy stopped and whistled at them. "Hehua, are you doing the laundry?"
Others started to catcall. "Hehua, Hehua, Gousheng is asking you a question!"
The girl blushed instantly and said a little angrily, "Gousheng, I'm never going to talk to you again." Then she took the wooden basin and left.
"Oh dear, Gousheng, Hehua is ignoring you." A boy in an outfit with a navy blue collar started to tease.
"Get lost! Who asked you to talk so much?" The twelve or thirteen-year-old boy raised his hand and slapped them. Immediately, the group of children started fighting.
Su Tao tsked a few times inwardly, thinking about the awakening of puberty. It was a pity that she had never experienced any of it.
She had never been in love.
Then she looked at Xie Yuntang. He probably didn't understand because he looked a little confused and puzzled.
She reached out and poked him in the face. "What are you looking at? Study hard. Children shouldn’t let their imagination run wild. You’ll have nightmares easily."
Xie Yuntang touched his face obediently and said softly, "Sister Taozi, I won't look anymore."
Zheng Duoyin came over and gossiped, "I heard that Gousheng likes Hehua."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit on the forehead. He covered his forehead in pain and said, "Big Sister, why did you hit me?"
"You deserved to be hit. You’re as gossipy as a girl." Su Tao rolled her eyes at him. He almost corrupted her Milksop.
Zheng Duoyin pouted and said unhappily, "I’m not a girl. Girls are boring."
"Yeah, you’re strong! As strong as a bull!"
Su Tao hit him on the head. Zheng Duoyin felt pain and ran away quickly.
