Chapter 1271: Chapter 1271: The Man Visits the Woman’s Home 2

Feng Qingxue explained, "Your top teeth grow downwards, so of course you have to throw them under the bed."

"What about the bottom teeth?" Xibao pried her mouth open and pointed to a row of her bottom teeth, "They grow upwards, so should I throw them up into the sky? That’s so difficult; if you throw a clod of earth up it just falls back down."

Xibao furrowed her brow, a look of great consternation on her face.

Feng Qingxue couldn’t help but laugh, "There’s no need to throw them into the sky, just throw the fallen bottom teeth onto the roof."

After hearing this, Xibao glanced at the roof of her house, dashed into the room to throw the two big front teeth she was holding under the bed, then ran out and said to Feng Qingxue, "Mom, I’ve already thrown them under your bed. Will my teeth grow back tomorrow?"

So impatient?

Feng Qingxue shook her head, "I’m afraid not, the time is too short. You see, a seed sown in the ground doesn’t sprout the next day either."

Xibao was instantly crestfallen.

The lasting effect of this incident was that Xibao kept her mouth tightly shut in front of everyone, refusing to speak lest they see her unsightly gapped teeth. Even when eating, she had to run back into the room to eat alone, out of others’ sight.

It poured rain that day, eliminating the need for work, so Wen Ruyu and Jin Ruochu came to the Lu Family’s home in the daytime, still primarily to instruct Feng Qingxue and her son, but also to provide enlightenment to Fubao. The little girl actually showed a strong interest in detailed brushwork painting and had an astonishing sensitivity to colors; certainly, Wen Ruyu wouldn’t let this budding talent go unattended.

"Xibao," Jin Ruochu deliberately teased the boy since he was changing teeth, "why don’t you talk to Grandpa? Do you know? When you don’t talk to Grandpa and don’t eat with him, Grandpa gets very sad."

Xibao covered his mouth with his hands, his hands coming together in an arch over his mouth, "You guys laugh at me, and that makes me sad too."

He, Lu Xibao, wasn’t so easily fooled, huh!

Lu Father, who adored his grandson, then said, "Brother Jin, don’t tease him. Let him finish writing these characters quickly; there are still things to do later, and I don’t know if people will come by for a visit."

"What’s the matter?" Feng Qingxue asked while setting the tableware.

Guan Cheng came out from the kitchen carrying food, accompanied by Lu Tianzhi and Guan Yu. Seeing Guan Cheng, Lu Father didn’t speak.

"Does it have something to do with Acheng?" Feng Qingxue asked.

"Sort of."

After hearing what Lu Father said, Guan Cheng laughed, "What is Grandpa hiding? Is it about me? Ever since Xibao came to our home, we haven’t had any trouble. What’s been related to me lately?"

As he said this, he suddenly remembered something, "Is it Wang Lingzhi getting married?"

"Wang Lingzhi is getting married? Wasn’t she looking for a man to move in with her family?" Feng Qingxue’s eyes flashed with aversion; ever since Wang Lingzhi and her parents showed their true colors, she had blacklisted the family. Still, they were rather shunned in secret by the locals, considered too malicious by many. "Are there people for miles around willing to marry her?"

Wang Lingzhi’s reputation had long been rotten to the core. No, it was as if she never had any reputation at all.

Guan Cheng smirked slightly, "So they found someone from out of town who doesn’t know her background, right?"

A thought struck Feng Qingxue, "An educated youth?"

Only the educated youths were from out of town. They hadn’t been here long and had no clue about the Wang family’s behavior.

"Right," Lu Tianzhi nodded in agreement, "It’s that Mo Bai, the one who’s utterly useless at work, earning only two or three work points a day thanks to Great Uncle’s soft heart. I don’t know if he was introduced by someone else or if they had taken a fancy to each other by themselves, but anyway, Mo Bai and Wang Lingzhi are set to be married today. It must be because the Heavens think Wang Lingzhi is too vicious, so they sent down a torrential downpour on their big day!"
