Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Mrs. Xiao Li Driven Mad
"Laugh, go ahead, enjoy it. When that wretched girl finishes cursing me, it’ll be your turn next!"
"Everyone’s doomed!"
"No one can escape!"
Mrs. Xiao Li tightly gripped the corner of the quilt in her hand, the veins on her hands bulging, her face twisted into a menacing expression.
The Golden Eagle was placed in the Yuan Family’s storage room, and its wounds were treated with golden sore medicine by Yuan Bao. This golden sore medicine was provided by Yuan Wangdi, exclusively used in the military, and was quite effective.
...
At noon, the Yuan Family was like celebrating the New Year.
Plenty of hearty dishes, and everyone was served white rice, the kind that fills you up.
If outsiders saw this, ninety-nine percent would think the Yuan Family was against having such days anymore.
But in reality, it’s really not a big deal.
With the Silver Coin brought back by Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi, the Yuan Family could indulge like this every day for years without worry.
Still, unless the Yuan Family were fools, they couldn’t possibly indulge like this every day.
Because it was a celebration, naturally Old Yuan and his five sons started drinking.
These men, once they start drinking, eating becomes less important.
Thus, while the women and kids all ate their fill, Old Yuan and his sons kept drinking.
After the meal, the little kids went out to play.
Catch sparrows!
This time, Yuan Bao joined them.
She needed to prepare food for the Golden Eagle, and couldn’t use the meat reserved for New Year’s to feed it, could she?
Although sparrows to the Golden Eagle are like grasshopper legs, it seems that the Golden Eagle doesn’t need to be full every meal.
Yuan Bao went out with her cousins, and Yuan Shoucheng and others were instructed repeatedly to take good care of her.
Actually, there was no need for the adults to remind them.
Having witnessed Yuan Bao’s incredible sparrow-catching skill, unless one were a fool, everyone knew to protect her.
As for Mrs. Xiao Li, she was purely possessed, her thinking stuck in a dead end, whether she can change in this lifetime is uncertain.
When Yuan Bao makes a move, her skill is obvious.
Yuan Laidi was halfway through drinking when he remembered he hadn’t proven his sparrow-catching skill, and using convenience as an excuse, he left the table to see the little kids catching sparrows and to show off his own skill.
Then, he took a glance from afar and swiftly turned back.
When Yuan Laidi arrived, he saw Yuan Bao pulling the rope, the bamboo cage came down, inside the sparrows flew chaotically, not knowing how many were caught in one go.
Having seen his niece’s prowess, Yuan Laidi decided he better stick to drinking.
Once again Yuan Bao was careful not to be too excessive, not wiping out all the sparrows.
And the little kids each had a sparrow in hand.
But this time, they didn’t choose to roast them; most little kids took the sparrows home, intending to have the adults cook them into dishes, turning them into a meat dish.
However, the Yuan Family’s little kids collectively handed their sparrows to Yuan Bao, as their contribution to the Golden Eagle’s meal, and of course, if they could pet the Golden Eagle in return, it would be even better.
In this regard, Yuan Bao wasn’t sure if they could fulfill their wish.
After all, the Golden Eagle was even colder and more aloof than You Cang.
When Yuan Bao and the group of little kids ran towards the storage room with their sparrows, Mrs. Xiao Li had already entered ahead, carrying a large bamboo basket, her intentions were unmistakable.
As soon as Mrs. Xiao Li stepped into the storage room, the Golden Eagle, initially quietly perched on the shelf, suddenly spread its wings, screeching sharply at Mrs. Xiao Li, then flapped its wings and landed on the crossbeam of the storage room.
