Pastoral Daily Life

When Lu Lingxi followed Uncle Li into the house, Uncle Li told him about the young thug who had been caught. The youngster, Xu San, had been lazy, sneaking around and stealing since he was a child. The other young people in the village thought that farming was not profitable and went to work in the city. Xu San also disliked farming for not being profitable, but he focused his attention on other places. Every day, he would go around with the eyes of a thief and cause a lot of trouble.

The village had caught him several times and someone called the police to arrest him. But Xu San was a scoundrel who not only refused to admit what he had done, but also tried to screw people behind their backs. The people who had called the police to arrest him before got in trouble. After a few times, the people of the village had no choice but to guard against him. When he saw that he couldnt take advantage of the village, he went away to a different place. But he was back again these days, and he even got his eye on the plant nursery.

“In the past, when the widows husband just died, Xu San used to torment the widows family a lot, bullying them for not having a man and taking whatever he saw when he entered the house. Later, several neighbours couldnt stand it anymore, so they asked Old Man Xu, the senior in the family, to come forward and coax and scare Xu San to restrain him.”

Uncle Li said to Lu Lingxi solemnly, “You cant be soft on this kind of person. if you let him off once, he wont remember your kindness, he will only think that you are good to bully and take advantage of you, and will trouble you endlessly.”

The old man said this because he could also see the difference between Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue. He had lived a long life; not to say that he had become an expert in human beings, but at least he had seen a lot of human beings and worldly situations. Lu Lingxi, the child, was pure-hearted and probably didnt understand the dangers of the human heart. Yan Yue was the opposite of him, and the old man knew from the first moment he saw him that Yan Yue was not a man to be trifled with.

Just now when Yan Yue asked Lu Lingxi to go back first, the old man guessed that Yan Yue probably planned to do some things he didnt want the child to see. If you asked Uncle Li, he would say that you should be like Yan Yue when dealing with wicked people; they are wicked and you should be more wicked than them. But he was worried that the child would not understand, so he wanted to give the little boy a vaccination first. The two of them should not have any misunderstanding because of Xu Sans affairs.

Uncle Li was kind, and Lu Lingxi nodded obediently. In fact, he didnt need to be told that by Uncle Li, he also believed in Yan Yue. Besides, Xu San was already a bad person, so it was only right for Big Brother Yan to teach him a lesson. As the old man and the young man were talking, Yan Yue pushed the door open and walked in, with Xu San following him like a little angry wife.

The old man hurriedly took a look at Xu San, and when he did so, he muttered a little in his heart. Xu San looked just like before, he was not bruised and swollen as Uncle Li expected. Did he think too poorly of Yan Yue?
