Chapter 50 Misunderstanding
Sujia Village, Su Yue's home.
"Sister Xiaoyue, why does Sister Xiaoya seem so gloomy lately?" Shizi asked.
"That's right, that's right. Ever since we went to town to see the opera and acrobatics performance that Master Song invited, I haven't seen Sister Xiaoya smile at all."
Xiaoman also joined in the grumbling.
"Why don't you just go and ask her yourselves? With your sister's great attitude, she won't be angry with you."
"No, no, last time I was punished by the teacher, and Sister Xiaoya even gave me a lecture," Xiaoman said again.
"Alright, alright, then tell me what you want to see your little sister for."
Xiaoman said enthusiastically, "It's just that I've been seeing Sister Xiaoya unhappy lately, and I'm worried about her."
She hasn't been to the valley for many days; her martial arts skills will probably have regressed by now.
Shi Zi muttered, "That's right. Look at Xiao Ya lately. She's either lying on that soft couch like a lazy cat all day, or humming tunes that only she understands."
Forget about sayings like "There's only one mother in the world who's good," or "Dad's good," or "Xiaoyu's good"...
And those sayings like "A woman doesn't shed tears when she's heartbroken" or "Men, cry, it's not a sin," I really don't know what kind of rhetoric they're spouting.
"Other people's songs are so cheerful, but her songs are like a spilled bottle of mixed flavors, leaving you with a bad feeling."
The two of them continued to complain.
"Alright, alright, let's go. Let's ask her what she's trying to do. She's only 12 years old, yet she acts like a grown-up."
Xiaoyue put down the things she was holding and led the two of them toward Yundan's house.
At the Lin family home, Yun Dan was still lying leisurely in the bamboo pavilion.
"This kind of life, like that of a salted fish, is incomparable to the modern society of my previous life."
Aside from not having a cell phone, being a little bored, not having to go to work, having money to spend, having enough to eat, and being healthy and free from illness, what could be wrong with that?
Yun Dan lay on the rocking chair, pondering to herself.
"Hmph... I say, little girl, are you planning to lie here forever? You lie here every day like this, and your parents don't even care about you."
As soon as Xiaoyue entered the room, she saw Yundan still lying there and immediately became furious.
Yun Dan lazily opened her eyes, glanced at Xiao Yue, and responded listlessly.
"Xiaoyue, you don't understand. Although this kind of life is a bit boring, you can't appreciate its beauty even if I tell you."
"You haven't experienced the harsh realities of society, so how could you know how comfortable it is to just lie down and relax?"
"Little Sister Ya, why have you been so gloomy lately?" Shi Zi asked curiously.
"???"
"What do you mean I'm depressed? When have I ever been depressed?" Yun Dan also looked completely bewildered.
"Then why aren't you depressed? Why do you sing those songs like 'Only Mother is Good in the World,' 'Women Don't Shed Tears When They're Sad,' and 'Men Can Cry, It's Not a Crime,' but you're not a man."
Yun Dan: "???"
Xiaoman chimed in, "You even sang something like 'We're all trying our best to live,' but why do we have to try so hard to live? Isn't it enough to just eat our fill to survive?"
Yun Dan: "???"
"What are you doing here? Go play wherever you want. Why are you wandering around here for no reason? If you're bored, you can go play with Xiao Yaoyao."
Xiaoyue couldn't bear to look at Yundan's listless and weak state.
"Little girl, if you have any problems, just tell us. We can help you with anything."
What could possibly be wrong with Yun Dan? She herself was completely baffled.
"I said, what exactly do you want? If you want tea, I'll make it for you. If you have something to say, just say it."
“We’ve been doing nothing lately, but we’ve noticed you’ve been lying around all the time, not going anywhere, and you don’t seem happy at all, so we came over to check on you.”
"Little Sister, you haven't been to the valley lately. Let's go for a stroll in the valley."
"Alright, what time is it? You're still thinking about going to the valley."
If we can't find anyone for dinner later, someone else will be eating stir-fried pork with bamboo strips again.
After chatting for a while, the group left.
Today, Yun Dan was unusually not lying around like a couch potato as usual, because the village chief was distributing silver today.
The village pays the monthly fee for the soap harvest every three months, and every morning, people of all ages and genders flock to the village like a tide to join in the fun.
"Come, come, it's been three months again today. This has been going on since the Lin family girl two years ago..."
Every time the monthly allowance is distributed, the village chief speaks eloquently and at length, saying things like how the village is so prosperous and thriving today, and we should all be grateful to Deyundan.
"Alright, those whose names have been called, come up and give your fingerprints and collect your monthly allowance," the village chief said.
Two thousand bars of soap and five hundred bars of scented soap were produced each month. The money from the soap was used for distribution, while the money from the scented soap was kept in the public treasury, like a small vault, to be used only when needed.
Each household could basically get an extra 6 taels of silver every three months, and everyone was as happy as flowers when they received the money.
Even though the child didn't get it, he was as happy as a little sparrow.
Time passed slowly, and the annual harvest season arrived once again.
Everyone in Sujia Village went to harvest.
When the hoe was on the day of the day, Khan dripped down the soil.
Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard-earned.
There's nothing I can do; the author has written thousands of ancient poems, but only knows three and a half.
Since the children started practicing martial arts, they have undergone a complete transformation, becoming exceptionally strong and full of power in every aspect.
Even the youngest, Xiaoman, is only 9 years old this year, but he is already over 1.3 meters tall, and carrying a bag of rice is a piece of cake for him.
Fortunately, Yun Dan took care of them with warmth and kindness, otherwise, in Sujia Village, it would be extremely rare for an adult to grow to 1.7 meters tall.
When she has nothing to do, Yun Dan would cook some herbal and wild game soup in the valley to nourish them properly.
If she still can't grow taller, then Yun Dan might start to doubt her own life.
The average height of the men in Sujia Village is around 7 meters.
Lin He (Xiao Ya's older brother) is 16 years old now and is almost 1.7 meters tall.
Over the past four years, he has grown rapidly, growing nearly 30 centimeters taller, even slightly taller than his older brother (Lin Jiang).
In Yun Dan's opinion, Lin He no longer needs any supplements, and even if he did, it would be of no use, since his life before the age of 12 was too difficult.
Characters like Shanzi, Liehuhai, Tudou, Afu, and Damao, who are around 15 or 16 years old and semi-adults, are all around 1.6 meters tall.
Like Daya, who is 1.6 meters tall and has a well-proportioned figure, she is no longer the skinny girl she once was.
Xiaoyue is 13 years old this year, and she is half a head taller than Yundan.
Yun Dan thought that if Xiao Yue grew up, she would definitely be a beautiful young lady and would surely grow to be over 1.7 meters tall.
Those children aged 11 or 12 are all over 1.3 meters tall.
Now, they carry the rice, either alone or in pairs, like ants carrying house, making several trips back and forth, loading the rice onto the cart and delivering it back to the village.
Now these children are all driving experts. Every day, besides studying, they play in their cars or go to the valley to practice their martial arts.
Speaking of which, it must be mentioned that the fact that the children knew martial arts could not be kept secret forever.
At the beginning of this year, several elders accidentally entered the valley and witnessed all of this.
In the end, it was Yun Dan from the village who stepped in and, with her silver tongue, came up with an excuse to get away with the matter.
Those adults were just worried that the children might go astray if they encountered bad people who taught them martial arts; it was just out of concern.
When they learned that the martial arts were taught by Yun Dan, they were all overjoyed and full of hope that their child would achieve great things in the future.
