Ling Yuan originally didn’t want others to know about his private relationship with the little cook, but now he had a problem that he couldn’t solve. After weighing it, he told Liu Xingfeng.
After listening to this, Liu Xingfeng pondered for a long time and said, “Brother Ling, I think in the final analysis, this matter is because you didn’t give Sanniang an explanation.”
“Explain?” Ling Yuan had completely put the chessboard aside and stared at him intently.
Being looked at by him like this, Liu Xingfeng felt quite proud. It turned out that Brother Ling was not as good as him at times. Although he was not married yet, he had never eaten pork but had seen a pig run1没吃过猪肉，也见过猪跑 (méi chī guò zhūròu, yě jiàn guò zhū pǎo): lit. Even though one has never eaten pork, at least, one has seen a pig running.
(idiom) Someone without knowledge but has some common sense., right?
When it came to matters between men and women, he dared to say that none of the ten Ling brothers could compare to him.
He cleared his throat and said solemnly, “Yes, please explain. Brother Ling, look at it, you and Sanniang should be in love now, right?”
Ling Yuan paused and nodded slowly. Although he didn’t feel that he had any deep feelings for the little cook, Liu Xingfeng seemed to have a solution to the matter, so he did not deny this statement.
“It seems that next time I see Sanniang, I have to call her Sister-in-law.” Liu Xingfeng rubbed his hands and said with a smile, “But between a man and a woman, it is not enough to be in love with each other. Brother Ling, the status gap between you and Sanniang is too big. Just like the joke I made at that time, as long as you nod, you can give Sanniang to me… No, no, no! Don’t look at me like that! It’s just a joke!”
Ling Yuan slowly raised the corners of his lips and smiled gently, “Brother Liu, please continue.”
Liu Xingfeng rubbed his arms. When Brother Ling smiled like this in the past, he only felt the spring breeze blowing on his face. When did his smile become so charming?
“You see, it’s jokes like this that make Sanniang feel uneasy. Brother Ling, since you like her, you should take responsibility and give her the status she deserves.”
Liu Xingfeng did not say exactly what her status should be. Even if he was usually informal and had no airs, he still knew that there was a huge difference between the Owner of Mingshan Village and a little cook.
Although he didn’t really want Sanniang to be an aunt, with her status, it seemed impossible for her to become the Owner’s wife, unless Brother Ling was willing.
But, are their feelings really deep to that point?
Ling Yuan said nothing, staring at the chessboard with raised eyebrows, not knowing what he was thinking.
Liu Xingfeng stood up and said: “Let’s go out for a walk too. Brother Ling, you have been to our house so many times, but it seems that you haven’t visited our house yet. Come on, I will take you there. Maybe you will meet Sanniang.”
Ling Yuan did not refuse, so the two of them walked out of the yard together. Not far away, they saw two familiar figures in the pavilion. Just as they were about to say hello, Young Master Gu barged in.
Liu Xingfeng heard the conversation between the three people clearly.
He originally thought that his cousin was just spoiled and a little naughty, but he didn’t expect that such disgusting words would come out of his mouth. Such a young child could have such evil intentions.
Moreover, the people from Mingshan Village were guests here, but he beat up the people from Mingshan Village in front of Ling Yuan. He had to give an explanation.
“Immediately apologize to Ningxiang!”
When Young Master Gu saw him coming, he was a little panicked at first, but when he heard these words, he straightened his back and said fiercely: “It’s impossible for me to apologize to these despicable people!”
“Pa—” Liu Xingfeng slapped him unceremoniously, making his neck thick with anger, “Aunt and Uncle are reluctant to beat you. Now that you are on my territory, I have the final say. You are so young, but you can say such things, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of my Aunt!”
With that said, he held down Young Master Gu’s head and apologized to Ningxiang, then he lifted him up by the back of his neck. Regardless of Young Master Gu’s punches, kicks, and howls, he said ‘I’m sorry’ to a few people and dragged him away.
“How are you?” Jiang Rui approached Ningxiang, frowning and observing her face.
Although Young Master Gu was not very old, his hands were strong. He slapped Ningxiang until half of her face was swollen.
There was moisture in Ningxiang’s eyes, but she shook her head with a smile and saluted Ling Yuan, “I have met the Owner of the village.”
She glanced at Jiang Rui again and realized that she was not suitable to stay, so she made an excuse to leave, “There are still clothes in my room that have not been washed, so I’ll leave first.”
“I’ll take you back.” Jiang Rui said.
Ningxiang hurriedly refused: “No, this is very close to my residence. I will be there soon. You can talk to the Owner of the village.”
After that, she left quickly.
