Chapter 102: Little Light is Tired
Translator: Lonelytree
These days, Xiao Xiaohui was very unhappy. He was supposed to be his eldest cousin’s cow herder, but everyone in the village was fighting to do his job. It made him feel like something he had was snatched away from him.
“Little Loach, is Little Light really the Little Cattle King?” Little Moon asked curiously, “My mom told me that. He said the Little Cattle King’s pee is actually miracle water that can promote vegetable growth. My mom told me to pull Little Light to our field for a stroll!”
Little Bun said with snot running down his nose, “Little Moon, my mom told me the same thing. She wanted me to bring Little Light to our field.”
“My mom asked me to do that too!” Little Charcoal said as he munched on the bird eggs. “Little Loach, the villagers are still fighting for Little Light?”
Xiao Xiaohui said dispiritedly, “Yeah. They are really annoying. Little Light is still so young. He is still growing, but these people keep forcing him to poop and pee. It makes Little Light so listless recently.” Over the days, Xiao Xiaohui formed a bond with Little Light. Or at least that was what Xiao Xiaohui thought.
His friends also turned their faces up with resentment when they heard Little Loach, “The adults are horrible! Little Light is still so young! How can he produce so much pee and poop! Look at how tired they have made Little Light.”
They herded the cattle with Xiao Xiaohui, and also developed a friendship with Little and Big Light. Seeing how tortured Little Light was, they felt sorry for him.
Little Bun’s eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, “Little Loach, how about we tell Sister Lingyu about this? Tell her not to loan Little Light out anymore. He is too exhausted!”
The other concurred, “That’s right. Let’s go tell Sister Lingyu.”
As soon as they came to the decision, the kids went down the mountain to the Xiao Family home.
At that moment, another three families were at the Xiao Family home. Two of them were the scoundrels who refused to rent their land to Xiao Lingyu, Xiao Facai, and Xiao Fuqi.
Xiao Fuqi told Xiao Lingyu, “Xiao Lingyu, I’ve asked to borrow your calf a few days ago. You told me someone else had borrowed it. A few days had passed, so you have to let me lend the calf no matter what today!” He made it sound like Xiao Lingyu owed him.
Before Xiao Lingyu could respond, Xiao Facai cut in. He sneered sarcastically, “Xiao Fuqi, you sure are thick-faced. Everyone in the village knows that you dislike and envy Xiao Zhengyang’s family. You always speak ill of them. Now you have the face to ask them to lend you the Little Cattle King.”
Xiao Facai ignored Xiao Fuqi’s angry face and turned to Xiao Lingyu with a smile, “Yu ‘Er, I have a vegetable field. The plants are not doing so well. I need to borrow the Little Cattle King to go for a walk around my field. I heard that the field the Little Cattle King visited would have a wonderful harvest.”
“No, no one can borrow Little Light anymore!” At that moment, Xiao Xiaohui and the kids barged in. They stood before Xiao Fuqi and Xiao Facai, their small faces filled with anger.
Xiao Xiaohui said loudly, “You adults are too shameless. You said you would bring Little Light for a walk, but you’re really forcing him to pee and poop. Can’t you see the toll it has taken on Little Light?”
The other kids chimed in. “That’s right! If this continues, Little Light will get sick from exhaustion. What will you do then?” Then four kids turned to Xiao Lingyu and chirped, “Sister Lingyu, Little Light is not feeling well. He is very tired and needs to rest. We can’t let him get sick.”
“Exactly. What if Little Light gets sick? Then, he’ll be given an injection.”
“Yes, injections are very painful. I don’t like it. Little Light is the Little Cattle King, and he won’t like it too.”
Hearing the kids, Xiao Fuqi turned his attention away from Xiao Facai. He glared at the brats and growled angrily, “You brats, this is none of your business. Hurry up and scram. Stop disturbing the adults.”
Xiao Facai joined forces with Xiao Fuqi against a common enemy, “You brats should go and play, and not come here to disturb the adults. You need to be taught a lesson. Since your parents aren’t here, I’ll teach you a lesson on their behalf!”
The four kids immediately hid behind Xiao Lingyu. Xiao Xiaohui stuck his head out and shouted, “You only know how to bully kids. Shame on you! Blrrrr!” He made a face.
Xiao Facai said angrily, “You… Little Loach, I’ll smack you on your father’s behalf for disrespecting me!”
He rushed towards Xiao Lingyu to grab Xiao Xiaohui. Xiao Xiaohui was not afraid of the man. He continued to make faces at him. “Boo! Do you think I’m scared of you?” Then Xiao Xiaohui turned to shout at Xiao Fuqi. “And you, you’re also a bad seed. You don’t have a good relationship with my second uncle. Every day, you go around the village to talk bad about my second aunt, second aunt, eldest cousin, and third cousin. Now, you have the face to come to borrow Little Light from my eldest cousin? Shameless, shameless!”
Xiao Fuqi was indeed shameless. However, no adult dared to point that out. Therefore, Xiao Fuqi decided to borrow Little Light from Xiao Lingyu like everyone else.
However, a kid didn’t care about decorum. Xiao Fuqi was about to explode. He shouted loudly, “Little Loach, you bastard, I’ll smack you for your rudeness. Since your father doesn’t teach you, I will!”
He strode towards Xiao Lingyu. He dragged Xiao Xiaohui out and made to smack the boy.
Xiao Lingyu’s face darkened. Her tone was sharp, “Uncle Fu, Xiaohui is just a child. You shouldn’t take things so seriously!” Xiao Lingyu shielded Xiao Xiaohui behind her.
“Xiao Fuqi, who are you calling a bastard?!” At that moment, a powerful voice echoed in the courtyard. “Who are you to teach my son a lesson? If you want to play a father, go back to your own home and deal with your own children!”
Once Xiao Mingyang reached home, he heard that Xiao Fuqi had gone to Xiao Lingyu’s place to borrow the calf. He knew that his second brother was out working, his sister-in-law was helping at a village wedding. Xiao Lingyu was home alone. He was afraid that Xiao Lingyu might be bullied, so he came over to look.
As he arrived, he saw Xiao Fuqi try to grab his son.. He even called his son a bastard.
