Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chapter 13 - 13 12 Uncles House

?Chapter 13: Chapter 12: Uncle’s House Chapter 13: Chapter 12: Uncle’s House Following the path southward for over a hundred meters, then turning west for several tens of meters, they arrived at the entrance of a large courtyard. The surrounding walls of the courtyard were about the height of a man, constructed of mud bricks. Through the sturdy wooden gate were three main rooms flanked by two smaller “ear rooms,” as well as east and west wings, all with blue bricks and black tiles – a display of remarkable grandeur. This courtyard was one of the largest mansions in the entire village.

The courtyard was quite spacious; inside stood a date tree and a willow tree, a stone table with four stone stools, and a large local dog tied to a tree, barking ferociously at them.

This grand courtyard was funded by Third Uncle Chen Shi, who ran a small business in the county town; it had been renovated just last year and was brand new.

Beside the stone table, a girl around twelve or thirteen was playing with two children. She wore a pea-green jacket over white inner clothing and trousers. Although the jacket had faded and the inner clothing and trousers were somewhat yellowed from washing, they were, at least, patch-free. The girl was passably pretty, with phoenix eyes, slightly downturned at the corners, and fair skin, but the malice and resentment in her eyes spoiled her appearance somewhat.

Upon seeing the family, she snorted and remarked, “Disgustingly dirty, arriving at our door without even washing your faces properly,” then proudly walked into the east wing. That must be the notorious Chen Aju.

A little girl, about two years old, looked at Chen Afu and said, “Dirty, let your mom clean you up.”

A little boy, about four years old, also snorted in disdain like Chen Aju and followed her into the east wing. These two kids must be the son Chen Dahu and daughter Chen Daya of Eldest Cousin Chen Agu. Their attitude wasn’t friendly, but children aren’t to be blamed for such behavior. If it weren’t for the adults’ instigation, they wouldn’t act this way.

A girl around fifteen or sixteen came out of the kitchen and smiled, “Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Afu, don’t be upset. My little sister has been spoiled by our family. Come on, have a seat inside; Grandma and Dad are waiting for you.” She was probably Eldest Cousin Sister Chen Alan. She resembled Chen Aju to some extent but had a much milder look in her eyes.
