Chapter 1330: Chapter 793: Moved (Part 2)
“Ye’er, hehe…” Luo Ning shuffled over with little slapping steps, smiled at Luo Ye, quietly glanced at Luo Lian, then looked at Luo Feng, “Xiao Feng, your big brother gives you his blessings.”
“Thanks, big brother.” Luo Feng grabbed his hand and gave it a shake. “When I came in and saw Grandpa pulling you guys to chat, I thought I’d wait a bit before talking to you.”
Luo Ning nodded again and again. “I know, I know. After Third Uncle became a big official, Feng’er and Ye’er are still the same as before, I know all that.”
“I heard you’re really something when it comes to raising pigs. Same breed, but in your hands they just grow better than other people’s. Big brother, you’re really capable.” Luo Feng was trying hard to find a topic.
“Hehe, I like raising animals. It makes me happy to raise them all chubby and fat. Look at our cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, geese—they all grow bigger than other people’s.” Luo Ning looked completely proud. “Actually, they eat the same feed, but once these living things are in my hands, they just grow fast. Do you know why?”
“Why?” Luo Feng hurriedly played along.
“Because I treat them as friends. When I’ve got nothing to do I chat with them. When they’re in a good mood, of course they grow big. Actually, animals are the same as people. Only when their mood is good can they have a good body and have everything go smoothly.”
Luo Ye looked at him with a mischievous grin. “Big brother, when you’re chatting with them, do you tell them that whenever they see Aunt they should peck her to death?”
“Uh…” Luo Ning rubbed his head, his face full of embarrassment. Clearly, that was as good as admitting it.
Ying Nuo widened his eyes in curiosity and lowered his voice. “Big brother, they… they really can understand what you’re saying? If that’s the case, can’t you train a whole squad of animal soldiers? Wow, big brother, you’re too talented!”
Luo Ning rubbed his head again. “I don’t know if they can understand or not. Anyway, sometimes when I’m unhappy, if I talk to my dad, mom, and my sister, I’ll just annoy them, so I talk to the animals instead. And then later, whenever Aunt walks by, they just peck her like crazy. I… I also find it pretty scary.”
“It’s fine, not scary at all. Animals are perceptive.” Luo Ye thought of those chickens, ducks, and geese chasing Aunt Luo around the yard and couldn’t help covering her mouth to secretly laugh.
“Look at you, like you just stole a chicken…” Luo Feng pointed at his sister and shook his head in amusement. “You don’t know this, but just now when you and Lianlian were talking outside, Aunt and Xiao Tian really gave you a good complaint…”
Luo Ye cut him off quickly. “And who was I doing that for? Did you help speak up for me?”
“Did I even need to? Grandpa directly shut her up, saying everything Ye’er did was with his permission. After he gave Aunt and Xiao Tian a fierce scolding, he added that if Ye’er hadn’t been soft-hearted, according to his idea, they should be in the village right now, not sitting here.
Then Dad chimed in too, saying as an aunt she never knew how to put herself in the right place, and as for Xiao Tian, from childhood on she liked to bully Ye’er and compare herself to Ye’er. Just because he turned a blind eye didn’t mean he didn’t know.” Luo Feng spread his hands. “Honestly, when Dad was saying all that, I was really moved. In the past, we wouldn’t even dare to think about something like this.”
“So then Aunt and Qian Xiaotian behaved themselves?” Luo Ye’s brows curved in delight. “Now that’s the real Dad of ours.”
Luo Feng rubbed his sister’s head with a smile. “The biggest credit still goes to Ye’er. If it weren’t for the groundwork you laid earlier, even if Grandpa and Dad said all that, it might not have had the best effect.”
“Wasn’t it all for you guys? Otherwise I couldn’t be bothered nagging them.” Luo Ye said and patted her forehead. “How did we end up back on this topic again?
Big brother, tell us what kind of wife you’re looking for. Let your little brother and sister help you scout around. There are quite a few pretty girls at his school.”
“Why would any of them look at me?” Luo Ning grinned foolishly and sneaked a glance at Luo Lian, then quickly lowered his head.
Noticing his gaze, Luo Ye couldn’t help a bitter smile. This one really dared to dream—him and Lianlian, how was that even possible? Ah, this silly big brother of hers, if she got the chance she’d have to knock some sense into him, so he wouldn’t get carried away and really ruin his whole life.
Catching sight of Yu Xinmei busily going back and forth serving everyone in the hall, Luo Ye’s mind started to work. Yu Xinmei’s hometown was a remote rural place, so she and her sister had to drop out of school early to work.
Luo Ning looked very much like Uncle Luo—thick brows, big eyes, tall and strapping, capable and kind-hearted. His only flaw was that he didn’t talk much, but a man being quiet wasn’t really a big problem.
Yu Xinmei had delicate features, was diligent and capable, and had a lot of backbone. If she and Luo Ning could really end up together, it’d be a pretty good match.
Thinking was one thing, but she couldn’t just start forcing a match right now. Still, with this idea in mind, she could give Mom a heads-up and then occasionally create a “coincidence.” Who knew, it might actually work.
With that thought, Luo Ye couldn’t sit still anymore. She polished off the sweet potato in her hand in two or three bites, then hurried off like a gust of wind to find Wen Xin.
After hearing her daughter’s suggestion, Wen Xin mulled it over briefly and also thought it was a good idea, so she agreed on the spot. This matter, she’d take it on.
Maybe because of Grandpa Luo and Luo Zhenggang’s stern stance, in the time that followed, Aunt Luo and Qian Xiaotian were all warmth and affection toward Luo Ye, especially Qian Xiaotian; the hostility and unwillingness in her eyes were completely gone.
Of course, what she really thought in her heart was something only she herself knew.

That’s it for today’s update.
Nu’an’s illness is finally more or less better. Yesterday after finishing the draft, I didn’t even have the strength to type a few words of explanation. Anyway, with these relatives visiting this time, Nu’an really put in the effort without getting any thanks, and even worked herself half to death. Sigh!
I’ll work hard to post two chapters tomorrow! (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to go to Qidian () to cast a Recommendation ticket or a monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
