Chapter 138 Yun Families Fourth ChildAfter finishing her meal, Yun Ting picked up the packed buns and a box of eight delicacies of the capital she had brought back, and headed out. She was going to take Little Girl with her, and worried about her safety in the back seat, so she decided to walk. It wasn't far anyway." Yun Family's Fourth Child, where are you going?" Aunt Zheng from Family Compoundcalled out to her with a smile.Yun Ting: "…"She wanted to shout, "I haven't been called Xiao Si for years!""Hehe...Grandma Zheng, I'm on my way to pick up Little Girl!""Oh my! You're getting more and more beautiful. Being cultured really makes a difference.""Thank you for the compliment, Grandma Zheng. I'll be going now."Since Yun Ting returned, the conversations in theFamily Compound have all revolved around her, mostly praising her for her good looks, her status as a university student, and her promising future. Of course, there were also some sarcastic remarks.For example, no matter how capable a girl is, she'll still belong to someone else in the future, right? What's the use of a girl studying so much?Yun family members get along quite well with everyone in Family Compound, so when someone makes a sarcastic remark, some of the aunties who are close to Yun family memberschime in."Who says a capable daughter is useless? Even if she gets married, a good child will still be filial to their parents, right? Besides, their two sons are both in college!""Exactly, which of their children is not good? They are all very filial."These yun family members are unaware of this. Although they have heard many people praise their child, they always just smile and say a few humble words.I'm proud of my child, but I don't need to show it to others to avoid being accused of showing off.When Yun Ting arrived at the Liang family home,the little girl was reading a comic book inside, with her grandmother keeping her company."Auntie, is the little girl home?"The little girl was very clever; even though she hadn't seen her aunt for a while, she still recognized her by her voice."Grandma, it's my aunt." The little girl said and immediately ran out the door."Slow down, this child."As soon as the little girl ran out, she rushed over and hugged Yun Ting, saying, "Auntie, you're finally back! I missed you so much!""Oh my... our little girl has such a sweet tongue, your aunt has missed you so much.""Xiaoting is back?" Liang's mother asked with a smile."Yes, Auntie, I just got home not long ago. My parents made some steamed buns and asked me to bring some back for you. Also, this box ofeight delicacies of the capital is something I brought back from Capital City. Please have a taste.""Oh...you can keep it for yourselves, there's no need to bring it. You're too kind. I've heard that the Eight Delicacies of the Capital are famous pastries! Your aunt will be lucky enough to try them.""It's nothing, Auntie, you're too kind. Little girl is so much better with your help. Otherwise, my brother and his family wouldn't be able to go to work with peace of mind!""Oh my, you really know how to talk. Your aunt is almost convinced by your words.""Haha, I'm just telling the truth, I didn't mean to flatter you.""Grandma is good, Grandpa is good, Grandpa and Grandma are good, but Aunt is the best..."Little girl, the sycophant, chimed in from the side."Oh my, my little darling, you've become quite the flatterer..." Mother Liang was overjoyed. Although she was happy to take care of her granddaughter, it made her happier than anything else to have others acknowledge her hard work."Auntie, I'll take the little girl back with me now. You should get some rest during this time.""Okay, little girl, be good when you go back with your aunt!""Okay, goodbye Grandma..."The little girl, led by Yun Ting, skipped and hopped around, extremely happy."Auntie, is Capital City far?""It's far, it takes two days by train!""Is Capital City fun?""That's fun! Little girl, how about you go to Capital City with Mommy and Daddy sometime? Your auntie will take you there, okay?""Yay!""Then Little Girl should eat well and grow up quickly so you can go to Capital City to play!""Okay, then I'll eat two bowls of rice today...""Haha...can your little belly hold it all?""Of course..."The two, one big and one small, one asking and one answering, gradually walked away into the distance.Yun Ting didn't rush back; instead, she tookLittle Girl to buy ice cream."Auntie, you're so kind. My mom only lets me have ice cream once in a long while."" Little girl, Mom is doing this for your own good. You really shouldn't eat too much ice cream, it's bad for your health!"Will I get sick?"Yes, is the little girl afraid of injections?"The little girl's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth with her hands, looking terrified. "The injection hurts..."This series of actions made Yun Ting burst into laughter.After the aunt and niece finished their ice cream, they happily headed home.Since I still had some steamed buns left, and it was hot, they wouldn't keep long, so I cooked a pot of sweet potato porridge to eat with the buns for lunch."It's been so long since I've tasted the flavors of home... even the porridge at home smells amazing," Yun Ting remarked."You silly girl, when did you learn to be so sweet-talking?""You didn't learn it in college, did you?""Ha ha…"Just as the family was having lunch and chatting happily, a sharp screech suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate."Civilization, Yun Mus name, good news! Come out quickly..."There was no response from inside the house."Wenming, Yun Mus name, are you home?" Before the Yun family members could come out, the old woman from the Ma family barged in with her loud voice, followed by a young man in his early twenties who was swinging his arms saunter and staring intently at Yun Ting.Father Yun had just frowned when Old Woman Ma stepped across the threshold, slapping her thigh and shouting, "Let me tell you, this is my nephew. He works as a clerk in the textile factory, a secure job! I think he and your Yun Tingare a perfect match—look, Yun Ting is a university student, and he and my nephew would be a perfect match!"Yun Ting slammed her chopsticks down on the table. The young man actually took half a step forward and said with a grin, "My aunt said thatuniversity students are cultured, which is perfect for improving my family's genes.""What did you say?" Mother Yun's face turned pale with anger. "My daughter is still in school, who gives you the right to tell her what to do?"Old Woman Ma retorted, "What's wrong with studying? Won't you get married sooner or later? My nephew is such a good catch, so many girls are vying for him! Don't let your daughters graduate and become old maids.""Get out of here..." Father Yun rarely got this angry; his children were his bottom line.Yun Ting stood up, her gaze sweeping coldly over the two of them: "First, whether I study or not, whether I get married or not, is none of your business. Second, how dare you utter such words as 'genetic improvement'? Where does your confidence come from? You should first consider whether you are even qualified to talk about 'genes'. Third, my family does not welcome ill-mannered people. Now, please leave."Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was like an icicle. The young man's face turned a deep shade of purplish-red. Old Woman Ma was still about to throw a tantrum when Yun Ting had already walked to the door, pointing outside: "Either leave on your own, or I'll kick you out."Old Woman Ma was intimidated by the coldness in her eyes. She grabbed her nephew, who was still trying to say something, and left cursing."With a girl this fierce, who would dare to marry you in the future?""roll…""What kind of scoundrel is he? He dares to covet our daughter! Doesn't he even take a piss and see what kind of person he is?" Mother Yun was furious.Yun Ting handed a steamed bun to her mother, saying, "Mom, eat quickly, don't let irrelevant people spoil your appetite."
