Chapter 1 Reunion

"Sister Mei!"

Following Ma Xiaoyao's shout, a woman, thirty-five or six years old but still charming, walked out of the house.

The woman was slightly plump, and although time had left traces on her face, through the vicissitudes, one could still imagine how beautiful she was when she was young.

"Xiao Yao, why are you back?" Sister Mei exclaimed in surprise.

"Isn't it the school vacation? Of course, I have to come back, hehe." Ma Xiaoyao's joy at seeing Sister Mei was also evident.

"Come in quickly, Sister Mei will make dumplings for you tonight." Sister Mei said as she invited Ma Xiaoyao into the house.

Ma Xiaoyao and Sister Mei walked into the dilapidated house. At this moment, a man of similar age to Sister Mei also wheeled himself over.

"Xiao Yao is back!" When the man saw Ma Xiaoyao, a rare smile appeared on his face.

"I'm back, Brother Li. Why did you come out by yourself again? Let me push you." Ma Xiaoyao stepped forward and grabbed the wheelchair, pushing him into the house.

Brother Li and Sister Mei are a couple, but Ma Xiaoyao was used to these titles and didn't change them.

Ever since he was driven out of the Ma family by his grandfather two and a half years ago, he had been living here with Brother Li and Sister Mei, and the three of them depended on each other for survival.

"How is it, Brother Li? Have your legs improved at all recently?" Ma Xiaoyao squatted down in front of Brother Li very naturally, skillfully massaging his legs.

"Ah... they won't get better." Brother Li shook his head and sighed, but when he noticed the look on Ma Xiaoyao's face, he immediately pretended to be relaxed and said, "But it's okay, your Brother Li is already used to it. Now these two wheels are like my legs."

Ma Xiaoyao's massaging hands slowly stopped, and he said with a look of shame, "Brother Li, it's all my fault. I'm sorry for you."

When Ma Xiaoyao fell out with his grandfather, Brother Li's legs were broken because he helped Ma Xiaoyao say a word. If Ma Xiaoyao had any regrets about that matter, it was because of Brother Li's legs.

"Xiao Yao, don't say that!" Brother Li suddenly said seriously, "You didn't do anything wrong in that matter, and your father was very kind to me. Don't mention just two legs, even if I give my life, Li Jiahui will not have any complaints."

Ma Xiaoyao clenched his fists and took a deep breath, saying, "Brother Li, don't worry, one day I will cure your legs!"

"Yes! I believe you, Xiao Yao!" Li Jiahui nodded heavily. He completely believed these words, only because the person who said these words was Ma Xiaoyao!

At this moment, Li Jiahui suddenly asked, "Xiao Yao, how were your final grades this time?"

"Uh... well!" Ma Xiaoyao's expression suddenly became very awkward, scratching his head. "Or... shall we talk about something else?"

"Hey, you!" Li Jiahui pointed at Ma Xiaoyao, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Without Ma Xiaoyao saying more, he guessed that the grades were probably not good enough to be shown.

Inside the house, Li Jiahui and Ma Xiaoyao were chatting enthusiastically, while outside the door, Sister Mei was busy making dumplings. In a trance, it would give people the illusion that a family was living together happily.

"Come and eat dumplings!" With Sister Mei's shout, the steaming dumplings were brought to the table by Sister Mei.

Ma Xiaoyao helped to take out the bowls and chopsticks, and the three of them sat around the table, chatting and laughing as they ate the dumplings.

"It smells so good, mutton filling!" Ma Xiaoyao sniffed and showed a greedy expression on his face.

He picked up a steaming dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, but because it was too hot, Ma Xiaoyao could only swallow it whole after chewing it twice.

His impatient appearance also made Brother Li and Sister Mei laugh.

"What's the matter? So happy. What are you laughing at?" As the door was pushed open, a man's voice came in.

"Ma Decai, what are you doing here?" Li Jiahui's expression suddenly changed when he saw the person coming.

The person who came was named Ma Decai, and he could be considered Ma Xiaoyao's distant cousin. He is now in charge of the Ma family's guard team, and before Ma Xiaoyao broke with the Ma family, Li Jiahui was the captain of the Ma family's guard team, so there has always been a gap between Ma Decai and Li Jiahui.

Regarding Ma Decai, there is such a legend that when he was just born, a blind fortune teller passed by his house and claimed that this child would be incompetent and immoral when he grew up, and he could only make up for it by adding these two words to his name, so Ma Decai got his name.

However, as time went by, the facts proved that some people's incompetence and immorality could not be made up for by their names alone.

The Ma family is not keen on interacting with the ordinary villagers of Taoyuan Village, but Ma Decai is an exception. He not only interacts, but can even be said to be a scourge to the village, but relying on the power of the Ma family, no one can do anything to him.

Ma Decai squinted at Li Jiahui, curled his lips, and said, "I can come and go in this area as I please. What's the matter? Do you have any objections?"

Li Jiahui's eyes were bloodshot, and his fists were clenched tightly, with blue blood vessels popping out on his fists.

If it weren't for these legs, he couldn't wait to kill Ma Decai immediately, because Ma Decai had harassed Sister Mei more than once, and thanks to Sister Mei's wit and fortitude, this guy was not able to succeed.

"Hehe." At this moment, Ma Decai suddenly grinned. "Look how scared you are. I'm here this time for a serious matter. The old man wants to see young master Xiao Yao. I'm here to pick him up."

Li Jiahui looked at Ma Xiaoyao suspiciously. Ma Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. He's sick and said he wanted to see me... I was planning to go over after eating the dumplings."

"Oh." Li Jiahui nodded, then exhorted, "Then talk things over properly. No matter what, he's still your grandfather."

"I know." Ma Xiaoyao said lightly, but in his heart, he was thinking that whether it's good or bad is not up to me to decide.

Ma Decai slowly walked to the dining table. When Ma Xiaoyao saw the malicious look in his eyes when he looked at Sister Mei, he wiped his mouth and said, "I'm done eating. Let's go."

"Okay, let's go." Ma Decai's attitude towards Ma Xiaoyao was not respectful, but it wasn't too bad either.

The two had only taken a few steps side by side when Ma Decai suddenly turned around, grabbed Sister Mei in the chair, and said, "I can't do it anymore. This woman is too tempting. My crotch is on fire. I have to take care of her today!"

"Ah, let go of me!" Sister Mei screamed in fright.

Li Jiahui was even more excited and pounced on Ma Decai, even forgetting that his legs were crippled. Because of this, Li Jiahui fell to the ground with a thud.

Seeing this scene, Ma Xiaoyao's eyes were about to split, and he roared, "Ma Decai, you beast, stop it!"

Ma Decai said indifferently, "All of you, big and small, listen to me clearly. All of you better be quiet. If you push me, I'll take care of all of you!"
