Chapter 124: A Product of Son Preferential Treatment (tushumi.cc)

In the end, Yunxi was the first to come to her senses and turned around directly.

It was such a coincidence that when Yunxi turned her head, Li Xingtang happened to move forward just a little bit. If he hadn't turned his head, they might have kissed.

After regaining his senses, Li Xingtang quickly coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness, then turned his head and silently looked at the scenery in the courtyard.

Although there's nothing much in the yard except for some vegetables and mushrooms drying, it makes the scenery there quite beautiful during awkward moments.

After a long pause, she said in an embarrassed tone, "Yunxi, I'm sorry for what happened just now. I don't know why, but I suddenly felt like I couldn't control myself. I didn't mean to offend you."

Although Li Xingtang himself didn't believe this excuse, feeling it was just a sophistry, he believed he was simply lustful and had no other excuse.

Yunxi wasn't angry. After turning her head away, she realized she had been too hasty. If she hadn't turned her head away, she could have experienced what a kiss felt like. It was a bit of a pity.

"It's okay, I'm not blaming you. It's just that we're still too young, and we need to restrain ourselves in some things."

It wasn't just for Li Xingtang to hear, it was also for myself.

Yunxi knew she didn't have much of a sense of morality and was always worried that she might impulsively molest a young boy, since they were both still so young.

After they had both rested, Yunxi prepared to deal with the sweet potatoes in their private plot.

"Li Xingtang, let's go dig sweet potatoes. We have a not-so-sharp hoe at home, but it'll still work. We only have this small plot of land, so we'll just have to make do with it."

When it came to helping Yunxi with chores, Li Xingtang was more than willing to do it. Without Lin Xi even having to say anything, he found the hoe, picked it up, and followed behind Yunxi.

Yunxi locked the door, grabbed a kitchen knife and a basket, and set off.

Although we don't have a sickle to cut the sweet potato vines, a kitchen knife is still pretty good.

They also encountered other villagers along the way, who were watching Yunxi and Li Xingtang with expressions of amusement, their teasing eyes practically unmistakable.

Fortunately, they didn't mean anything by it; they just thought the two of them were a good match. They would be very happy if Yunxi could marry into the town.

Yunxi didn't know why, but the older women and older women in the village always liked to act as matchmakers for young women and boys. She didn't know when this habit had started, but they always liked to put people together in groups.

Fortunately, seeing that they meant no harm, Yunxi didn't care. She lived her own life and didn't care what others said. As long as no one tried to harm her, nothing else mattered to her.

When they arrived at their private plot, they found that their second uncle, Yun Shanjun, was already working in the plot next door. Not only was his wife, Tang Zhaodi, helping out, but Yun Shengnan, who was the same age as them, was also there, as was ten-year-old Yun Libao.

They are incredibly diligent, tidying up their private plots during their short lunch break after lunch.

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Shengnan, Libao, you're up early! Have you eaten yet?"

Yun Shanjun, who was digging sweet potatoes, turned around when he heard the voice. When he saw Yun Xi, he immediately stood up straight and rubbed his lower back. "It's Yun Xi. We've already eaten. You're here quite early too. I heard this is your classmate. Have you eaten? If not, go to your second uncle's house to eat."

Just as others had said, the boy who came to see Yunxi was quite handsome. With her little niece being so beautiful, there was no one more handsome than this young man. He was barely a match for her.

“We’ve already eaten. This is my classmate, Li Xingtang. He came here to help me with the autumn harvest. Li Xingtang’s parents are my second uncle and aunt. You can just call them uncle and aunt.”

Tang Zhaodi was somewhat sexist, and when she met Yunxi, she would just greet her but wasn't very enthusiastic.

He was talking to Yunxi quite enthusiastically, but the meaning behind his words was really not pleasant to hear.

"This boy is really handsome. Yunxi is so lucky. She won't have to work in the fields anymore. If there are any other good families like this, don't forget to introduce one to your sister Shengnan!"

Upon hearing his wife's words, Yun Shangjun's face immediately fell. Unlike his wife, he was not sexist. He liked both boys and girls, and besides, they were only two children, a boy and a girl. What was there to be biased about?

He loves both children, especially his daughter who is doing so well in school. He even wants her to go to high school and then university. When he hears his wife talking about finding a boyfriend for their daughter, he immediately becomes unhappy.

Especially when she thought about the near future, a man might marry her daughter and not necessarily treat her well, she even felt a little displeased with Li Xingtang standing next to her.

After all, he was a man, and there was no custom of not beating women in the village. He was extremely anxious when he thought about how his daughter's future boyfriend might treat her badly.

His face was not looking good, so he immediately started to vent his anger on his wife, "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. Shut up! This boy is just Yunxi's classmate. Why are you thinking so much about him? You mustn't ruin Yunxi's reputation."

And let me tell you, you absolutely cannot find a boyfriend for my daughter. Shengnan needs to go to high school and take the college entrance exam. If you interfere with her studies, I'll hold you accountable.

Yun Shengnan showed no expression when she heard what the mother said, as if she was used to it, but she was quite happy when she heard what her father said.

She was especially happy when she thought about her father saying that he would let her go to high school and college. She thought that her father loved her so much, unlike her mother who looked down on her. She was determined to make sure her father could enjoy a good life with her after she graduated and found a good job.

Tang Zhaodi knew that Yun Shanjun would protect that brat, so she stopped talking, gave Yunxi a forced smile, and then lowered her head to continue working.

It must be said that although the preference for sons over daughters is quite serious, they are quite efficient at doing chores, can keep the house tidy, and can earn work points. Apart from the preference for sons over daughters, they have no other problems.

Seeing his wife like this, Yun Shanjun could only try to smooth things over, "Yunxi! Don't mind your aunt, she's just like that, she doesn't have any bad intentions."

"No, Second Uncle, I know Auntie was just saying it casually, she won't take it to heart."

Yunxi was only scolded a couple of times, so of course she wouldn't care. But if she really messed with her, she wouldn't care if she was her aunt or not; she would still deal with her without hesitation.
