I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel

Chapter 350: Chapter 307: Eccentric People!

The two were a bit confused. Could these two kids be siblings?

Then they heard Aunt Wei’s scolding voice: "Lou Changqiu, you’re getting more and more brainless. Look carefully, this is my granddaughter Baihua’er, and that’s your son Xiao Guang. They have no blood relation at all, so why do you naturally expect my granddaughter to give her candy to Xiao Guang?

Xiao Guang having a mom like you is really unlucky. Luckily, Xiao Guang isn’t like you." Aunt Wei was furious. Such incidents happened every day. Even ancient storytellers didn’t have tales this dramatic. She realized that this woman was just abnormal.

As Aunt Wei finished speaking, Lou Changqiu raised her voice in disagreement: "Aunt Wei? What are you talking about? Xiao Guang is a boy who will carry on the family line and be the future pillar of the country. Your girl Baihua’er is just a little girl who will only grow up to marry and have children. She brings no contribution to the family or the nation, so naturally, the candy should go to my Xiao Guang."

Jiang Mingyue: "..." What a serious illness!

Xie Yunhai: "..." It’s both eye-searing and ear-piercing!

Aunt Wei: "..." Enough, speaking to this kind of person would be pointless, even if the sky and the earth vanished.

Just then, the pretty girl suddenly said, "Aren’t you a woman?"

Lou Changqiu: "Of course I am!"

"You even look down on yourself!"

"I... that’s the reality!"

Damn, hopeless case!

Lin Zhi fixed the bicycle and brought it over, "Here are the keys, do you want to ride it now? If not, I’ll lock it to the iron railing in the yard for safety!"

"Sure!" Actually, in this era, no one dared to steal bikes. If caught, they’d be jailed or even executed. People didn’t want to take that risk. Everyone had registration, except those with outrageous guts.

Lin Zhi locked it and handed over the keys eagerly, "Uh..." With a hesitant demeanor, Xie Yunhai understood and was about to reach for his pocket when Lin Zhi quickly stopped him.

"Brother Xie, it’s just... I wanted to ask about your other bike..."

Xie Yunhai paused, then recalled his disassembled bike, thinking he understood Lin Zhi’s meaning. He waved his hand, "Nothing can be done, if it’s broken, it’s broken. As long as no one is hurt, it’s fine."

Lin Zhi froze for a moment, then suddenly realized what his brother meant, so happy that his mouth almost reached his ears.

"Brother Xie, so are you saying you don’t want it anymore?"

"Of course!" It’s in that ghostly state. What good is it to him?

Yang Zhi held back his overjoyed mood and rubbed his hands, "Then if you don’t want it, can I take it back for repairs?"

Having guessed his intention, Xie Yunhai nodded, "Sure!"

Seeing that he was both serious and generous, Yang Zhi immediately hugged Xie Yunhai in delight, "Brother, that’s wonderful! Thank you! Thank you! To be honest, my dad is great at fixing bikes, and I learned from him. I’ve already retrieved your bike and repaired it. Since you’re not wanting it, I’ll ride it away. Thanks to Brother Xie’s generosity, I, Yang Zhi, now have a bike too."

Xie Yunhai: "..." A remarkable person! He could even fix a pile of junk. Just that alone makes him quite useful.

Things should have ended here, but Xie Yunhai suddenly asked, "What’s Lin Houmao to you?"

This startled Lin Zhi enough to make him shiver like a chick: Brother Xie, what do you mean?

Others might not understand, but Xie Yunhai did at a glance.

"Don’t worry, just asking. Lin Houmao hasn’t offended me, and I don’t have a peculiarity for implicating others!"

Yang Zhi relaxed. Although he had his little notions, he wasn’t a bad person.

Having clarified, he spoke honestly, "He’s my cousin, but years ago my dad and my second uncle had a falling out, and our two families stopped communicating. I still know my cousin though, and he’s no good; he’s very shady!"

Who is Lin Houmao? Of course, he was the one Jiang Zhenzhu hooked up with last time. Later Jiang Zhenzhu joined the food factory, and through a favor from Yang Fang, got Manager Lin into the food factory as well.

"At least you have some sense! Alright, let’s meet up later for a smoke and a chat."

"Sure thing!"

Originally, they could have strolled around, but since the ground was still wet, one step would sink their shoes into mud, so they had no intention of going out. Xie Yunhai sent his sister to the guesthouse, returned with half a pound of glutinous rice cake and assorted candies, instructed her to eat by herself, and told her to lock the door well, wait for him to return, and only then did he leave.

Jiang Mingyue: "..." Getting more and more like the eldest cousin.

Where Brother Xie went, Jiang Mingyue didn’t know. Tired from the day, she was quite exhausted. She locked the door, drew the curtains tightly to ensure no loopholes, and only then slipped into the space to first collect the grain and then scatter seeds.

Thinking about whether there would be any issues at the Southern Institute, she flashed to Magpie Street, where Lightning was as steady as ever, standing guard like a stone lion behind the door. A cloth bag hung around its neck contained a note, which she took out to read. It wasn’t a task but a message.
