The Lucky Star Reincarnates to Bring Her Family Fortune!

Chapter 78 - 78 Zheng Yongyan

78 Zheng Yongyan

Zhang Lan and Zhou Yu were stunned. It was true. Ever since they moved here, they had not seen any mosquitoes in the room.

After coming up with all kinds of reasons and disputing them all, they could only conclude that it was because of this house.

In fact, there were no mosquitoes nor insects because of Zhou Xiaoli. The mosquitoes did not dare to approach her.

However, Zhou Xiaoli would not tell anyone about this.

Everyone chatted and laughed. Soon, they were all done eating.

Wei Chiyu and Zhou Yu moved the cane sugar that they had made over the past four days onto the donkey cart.

After they were done packing, the village chief’s family arrived.

However, the one who came was not the eldest son, Zheng Yonggui, but the village chief’s youngest son, Zheng Yongyan.

“Eh? Yongyan, why are you here? Where’s your big brother?” Zhang Lan was surprised and looked behind him.

After Zheng Yongyan entered, he first greeted Zhou Yu and Zhang Lan politely before explaining in an unhurried manner. “Auntie, my father said that my eldest brother is a boring person and is most unsuitable to do business.”

Father asked me to come so that I can learn more from Sister Li this time. We can’t rely on Sister Li alone to buy and sell goods in the future. How tiring would that be for her?”

Zheng Yongyan spoke politely and unhurriedly. Zhang Lan and Zhou Yu nodded repeatedly as they listened to him as well.

Zhou Xiaoli’s gaze also fell on Zheng Yongyan. He was dressed in white. Although his clothes were not gorgeous, they were clean and tidy.

He was slightly thin, and his words and actions were polite. The spitting image of a weak scholar.

Zheng Yongyan was 10 years old this year and was slightly older than Zhou Xiaoli by a couple of months. He had gotten the scholar title of Child Scholar at the age of eight. At that time, it had shocked the entire village.

Everyone in the village said that the village chief’s ancestors must have done a lot of good deeds as a scholar was about to be born into their family.

The village chief’s family indeed had high hopes for their youngest son.

However, why would the village chief let this future scholar waste his time by coming to learn business from her instead of studying?

Zhou Xiaoli was full of doubts.

However, no matter who went, it wouldn’t affect her. Hence, after bidding farewell to Zhou Yu and Zhang Lan, she led the donkey cart out of the house.

As expected, as soon as the donkey cart left the village, he showed his true colors.

“Sigh, you’re Zhou Xiaoli, right?” As he spoke, Zheng Yongyan sized up Zhou Xiaoli from head to toe with an arrogant expression on his face. “Well, there’s nothing special about you. You’re the same as those girls in the village. So boring.”

With such provocative words, there was not a single iota of the refined manners he displayed in the Zhou family.

Zhou Xiaoli couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. This kid was such a two-faced person?

She could not help but turn her body to the side and look at Zheng Yongyan. She said helplessly, “Little Young Master Zheng, I don’t understand what you’re saying. I don’t think I provoked you.”

Zhou Xiaoli’s facial features were good-looking to begin with. Her almond-shaped eyes were clean and clear, and her round little face, coupled with her exquisite little mouth, made her look even more beautiful than before.

However, there was a bright red mole under her left eye. Instantly, the childish look on her round face faded and added a hint of sensuality.

Such a contradictory combination created a different temperament. It was unique and left a deep impression.

In addition, she had been drinking the spring water in the alternate space and that made her skin fair and smooth. Even if she ran under the sun all day, she would not be tanned.

She was prettier than the young ladies he had seen in the city. It was wrong of him to compare her to the rest of the young ladies in the village.

When Zhou Xiaoli suddenly turned around, Zheng Yongyan met that pair of clean and clear almond-shaped eyes. He could not help but be stunned at what he saw. The tips of his ears turned red suddenly.

He too felt that what he said seemed to be wrong. She was different from the girls in the village.

However, he would not admit that he was wrong. Instead, he snorted and looked away arrogantly, not daring to look at Zhou Xiaoli.

“Let me tell you, I won’t like a little girl like you. I like girls who are as beautiful and educated as me. So, give up on this idea as soon as possible. Don’t try to curry favor with my parents again.”

As soon as he said this, Wei Chiyu, who was driving the carriage, suddenly raised the reins and sped up.

Their seating arrangement was like this: Wei Chiyu sat at the front of the car to drive the cart while Zhou Xiaoli sat beside him.

Zheng Yongyan sat in the back of the car in a dignified manner. In order to sit elegantly, he was unwilling to sit on the bottom of the cart and even placed a small stool on it.

Hence, after Wei Chiyu suddenly accelerated, Zheng Yongyan lost his balance and fell backward, rolling off the donkey cart.

As for Wei Chiyu, he supported Zhou Xiaoli with one hand and stabilized her figure. Without any intention of stopping, he drove the donkey cart away.

Zhou Xiaoli: “…”

If Wei Chiyu could have it his way, he would enter the city directly and not bother with that brat.

However, he was still the village chief’s precious son.

“Let’s go back. Look at him. He’s like a weak chicken. If something were to happen to him, we won’t be able to answer to the village chief.”

In the end, Zhou Xiaoli could not allow him to do that and asked Wei Chiyu to turn around.

Hearing Zhou Xiaoli describe Zheng Yongyan in such a way, Wei Chi’s dark expression finally eased a little. “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

With that, he turned around and returned.

When they returned to their original positions, they saw Zheng Yongyan sitting by the roadside, as if he was wiping his tears…

Ah, no way.

Zhou Xiaoli almost burst out laughing.

He had been so arrogant just now, but now he was secretly wiping his tears. This kid was too cute.

Hearing the sound of the cart coming back, Zheng Yongyan turned his head away angrily.

Wei Chiyu’s cold voice rang out when the cart stopped. “Come over and get in.”

Zheng Yongyan refused and said in an arrogant manner. “No, you did it on purpose just now. Apologize. If you don’t, I won’t go.”

“Children are so troublesome.” Wei Chiyu frowned and jumped out of the car unhappily.

...

Then, under Zhou Xiaoli’s widened eyes, Zheng Yongyan’s face turned pale. He picked Zheng Yongyan up like a little chick and threw him into the cart.

“Rude, you’re simply too rude!” Zheng Yongyan was so angry that his face turned red. However, since he was a scholar, he did not know how to scold others. He kept repeating the words “rude” and “insolent”.

It had no impact on anyone.

Wei Chiyu snorted coldly. “Kid! Sit properly. If you fall again, I won’t come back!”

With that, he jumped cleanly onto the donkey cart and drove away.

Although he continued to run his mouth, Zheng Yongyan was pretty honest in his actions. He immediately grabbed the handlebars after getting into the cart.

Zhou Xiaoli clutched her stomach. She wanted to laugh, but she did not dare to laugh too loudly. It was extremely uncomfortable.

“Hey, stop laughing.” Zheng Yongyan glared at Zhou Xiaoli, looking rather embarrassed.

Zhou Xiaoli shrugged and stopped laughing. “So, don’t worry. I don’t like kids like you either, understand?”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yongyan was furious. “I’m not a child!”

“Not a child? Then why were you crying just now?” Zhou Xiaoli exposed him mercilessly.

...

Zheng Yongyan was embarrassed and angry. “I’m not crying. That was because sand entered my eyes earlier!”
