Chapter 612 The Couple Who Fought All Day
Elder Fan smiled and sat by the bedside to take the pulse. After finishing, he tapped his young disciple on the head.
"Be disobedient and I'll make you drink bitter medicine."
"I'll listen, I really will. I won't care what they want to do in the future."
Elder Fan glanced outside, though he couldn't see anything.
"I've watched these two children grow up bit by bit over the years. You've already provided them with more than they should have. It's enough."
"Mmm, when children grow up, you have to let go. I'm even letting go of my two little ones at home."
"How can they truly grow up if you don't let go? Including Mo Lin, his path has been much smoother than many. Could he truly have reached such heights otherwise?"
"I understand. Mo Lin is truly capable and hardworking. His path was smoother, but it was also well-deserved."
"Sigh~~ You..."
Min Xing, angered, went directly to the herb garden. Tian Tian followed behind, silent, a silent form of protest.
"Since you still have the energy to be angry, go pull weeds. If you don't finish this patch, you won't have dinner."
Tian Tian, with a blank face, squatted down and began to pull. She didn't even wear a straw hat, so one could imagine how much she was being sunburnt. Her skirt was also torn by the thorny herbs, looking like nothing.
When Ye Shengge and the others arrived, they saw one standing and one squatting to pull.
"Let's go to the next plot."
Those who truly loved herbs wouldn't have the time to observe the antics of idle people. In any case, Ye Shengge was diligently listening to her senior brother share his knowledge. Gu Miao stood by, solely responsible for moving Elder Fan's small stool, as he was too old to squat for long.
"Don't you have eyes? You've pulled up the herbs."
"I have eyes, and they're very big."
"Hey, you're talking back, aren't you? I'll deal with you today."
Uncle Hu, with his wife and daughter, arrived just as they saw this scene.
"Dad, a lot of herbs have really been pulled up. They were already successfully sprouted."
"Tsk~ What a shame. I could have brewed tea with them if I had collected them."
"Hurry up, so you don't get caught in the crossfire."
The hair at Ye Shengge's temples was already soaked under her straw hat. As she stood up to wipe her sweat, she saw Tian Tian furiously stomping on something with her foot, and Min Xing angrily slapping her back. One dodged and the other hit, accidentally bumping into Uncle Hu, who was bending down to pick something up.
"Gu Miao, go quickly and drive those two out of the herb garden."
"Alright."
"Oh dear, those are all ginseng sprouts, which have finally emerged. What wasteful children!"
Elder Fan, enraged, slammed the small trowel in his hand. Cultivating them was so difficult.
Their herb garden had been cultivating precious herbs like ginseng for years. This was the year with the best results, so how could Elder Fan not be heartbroken?
"I'll go see if there's any chance of saving them."
Xi Rusheng gently soothed his master. He was so old yet still had such a temper.
"Get them all out of here!"
Ye Shengge also stood by, helping to calm him down. Perhaps it was best for them to leave first. She was afraid that if they stayed any longer, it would make her master even more upset.
"Dad, are you alright?"
Hu Xiuying carefully supported her father's waist. He was already not well, and now he had injured himself.
"Apologize to them."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
"It's alright, it's just that we really can't ruin the sprouts anymore."
Tian Tian wasn't confused about this matter and even helped pat away the dirt.
"You should apologize too. You hit me, which caused someone else to get hurt."
"Fine, I'm sorry."
Both of them turned their heads and left the herb garden, but they didn't go back. They continued to quarrel at the edge of the field.
"You hit me just now and told me to apologize."
"I regret not hitting you a few more times."
"Min Xing, you've gone too far. You've never hit me before."
"There are many things I've never done. From today onwards, if you're disobedient, I'll hit you. I don't believe I can't subdue you."
Tian Tian, already feeling wronged, could no longer control herself. She lunged at Min Xing and started scratching him.
Min Xing, who was already quite skilled, grabbed her hands and easily pinned her to the ground without using much force.
Gu Miao stood about three steps away, watching intently, patiently waiting for them to finish their fight.
Xi Rusheng looked at the flattened sprouts and the broken ones and could only shake his head helplessly.
"Uncle Hu, just pick them up."
"Alas~~ What a pity."
"It's alright, as long as we have land and seeds, we can plant them again."
Hu Xiuying quickly took over the task of picking them up, diligently working.
"Your father has managed the herb garden very well."
"Yes, my dad even comes to check on it when it rains."
"This large plot of herbs is fortunate to have your family."
Xi Rusheng stayed in this section of the herb garden, digging up the poorly growing ones so they wouldn't affect the growth of the good sprouts.
Ye Shengge couldn't stay in the field for too long. As she passed by Min Xing and Tian Tian, she expressed her thoughts.
"If she's leaving, she can go. I'm here to work properly."
"I'm not leaving. Sister, Min Xing hit me."
Tian Tian tried to pull Ye Shengge, but Gu Miao blocked her. These two were not calm, so it was better not to get close.
Tian Tian felt even more wronged, with a feeling that everyone disliked her.
"Let's all go back and talk. I'm tired of watching you two quarrel."
Ye Shengge said she wouldn't get involved and truly didn't plan to. The main reason was that she couldn't intervene. They didn't even include her in their arguments.
Min Xing was also a pampered individual and was truly tired from standing for so long.
"Shengge, what should we do if this continues?"
Min Xing asked softly. She was too much trouble, he hadn't realized it before.
"You've spoiled her, so you're responsible. Anyway, when Xiao Mi'er is disobedient, I make her practice calligraphy. She's in training camp now. If you can't handle it, send her there too."
"We can't send her there. She'd be back lying down in a couple of days."
Ye Shengge shrugged. Could she be less energetic than her own two little rascals?
"It's making me so worried, my throat is hoarse from shouting."
"Mmm, you've worked hard. Let Aunt Hu make you some tea to cool down later. After drinking it, you can continue your efforts."
Tian Tian was also tired. She hadn't eaten or drunk anything all day. On the way back, she dragged her head and legs.
This time, without Min Xing having to be told, she went to the kitchen to find water. When she came out, she poked her head in through the door of Ye Shengge's room.
Gu Miao had just brought a basin of water for his wife when he saw Tian Tian.
"Is my sister resting?"
"Yes, Madam is very tired."
"Oh, I'll come back after sister has rested."
Hearing this, Ye Shengge held back. What could she do in this matter?
Min Xing went to take a shower. As soon as he came out, he saw her squatting by the door. He was used to it; this girl always waited for him by the door.
"What do you want!"
"Min Xing, let's not fight anymore, okay?"
"Call me Godfather."
...
This plea of "Godfather" seemed to be Tian Tian's last shred of pride. Thinking about it, she understood everything.
Min Xing walked around her and went back into the room, closing the door on her who wanted to follow. Lying on the bed, he sighed heavily, acknowledging his significant responsibility in this matter.
