Chapter 133: A Barbeque Party
Translator: Lonelytree
Xiao Lingyu lived in a rather remote place, so Wang Zhimin had to come riding a tricycle every day. After Wang Zhimin took his portion, there were some left. They were reserved for Zheng Haiyang and his two friends as well as Uncle Chen, Grandma Song, and a few others.
Both Zheng Haiyang and Yuan Xuanhao had helped her, and they just wanted some vegetables in return, so why wouldn’t she oblige? Of course, she couldn’t just leave out Qian Yifan, or it’d be taken as an offense. She would repay those who treated her well and take revenge on those who wanted to harm her.
….
After Xiao Lingyu finished her breakfast, Xiao Lingye arrived with his three good friends.
“Sis!” The four of them greeted.
Xiao Lingyu chuckled, “Why are the four of you here?”
Kang Le said, “We heard from Ye that Sis bought a new car, so we came to look!”
“Okay. Have you had breakfast? If not, I will treat you!” Xiao Lingyu offered.
“Thank you, but we already had breakfast!” They nodded.
“Okay, let’s go to get the car then!” Xiao Lingyu led the way.
Xiao Lingye’s group followed Xiao Lingyu to Teng Fei. Ning Weiyi asked in surprise, “Sis, you bought your new car here?”
“Yes!”
“This is my cousin’s place!” Ning Weiyi gasped.
“Your cousin is President Yuan Xuanhao?” Xiao Lingyu asked.
“Sis, you know my cousin?!” Ning Weiyi was shocked.
“Yes.” The world was too small. “President Yuan has given me a large discount. I’m in his debt.”
“Lingyu, you’re here!” Zheng Haiyang’s group came out to greet them. When they saw Ning Weiyi and Yang Baolin, they were confused, “Weiyi, Baolin, why are you here?”

The group of five looked at each other. So everyone knew one another!
“Brother Zheng, Brother Xuanhao, we came with Sister Lingyu!” Ning Weiyi explained.
Zheng Haiyang asked curiously, “Lingyu, you know these children?”
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “They are all my brother’s classmates. Right, this is my brother, Xiao Lingye! Lingye, these are Brother Zheng, Brother Yuan, Brother Qian!”
Xiao Lingye immediately shielded his sister behind him. Then, he greeted, “Brother Zheng, Brother Yuan, Brother Qian, I’m Xiao Lingyu, Weiyi and Baolin’s roommates!”
The corners of Zheng Haiyang’s lips twitched when he saw Xiao Lingye move to shield Xiao Lingyu from them. ‘Does he think we’re going to steal away his sister?’
Zheng Haiyang looked at Xiao Lingyu with a smile and said, “Lingyu, this is such a coincidence. Your landlady is my grandmother, your brother’s classmate is Xuanhao’s cousin. You’re surrounded by good friends!”
Xiao Lingyu chuckled, “Hehe, I didn’t expect this either!”
Ning Weiyi asked excitedly, “Brother Xuanhao, Sis bought a new car from you, right? Where is it?”
‘Sis?’ Hearing that, Zheng Haiyang and the other two’s mouths twitched again. ‘When is Xiao Lingyu their Sis? Apart from the mother and grandmother, when did Ning Weiyi become so close to another woman?’
Yuan Xuanhao pointed to the silver-gray SUV said, “This is it!”
The four young men immediately went to examine the vehicle. “Sis, why did you buy an SUV and not something smaller?”
Kang Le added, “Yes, isn’t a smaller car more convenient?”
Xiao Lingye looked at her sister suspiciously and asked, “Sis, do you know how to Drive?”
“…” Xiao Lingyu said, “Of course! Why else would I buy a car? To look at it?”
Ning Weiyi asked, “Sis, how much is this car? How much discount did my Brother Yuanhao give you?”
Yuan Xuanhao walked over and flicked his forehead. He said unhappily, “Why? Are you afraid that your brother would scam your sister?”
Ning Weiyi rubbed his forehead. “That’s right.”
“You little brat!” Yuan Xuanhao scolded him. “Are you itching for a beating?” Yuan Xuanhao tried to grab the young man’s ear, but Ning Weiyi avoided him.
Ning Wei said, “Brother, you’re such a wicked merchant. Of course, I have to look out for my Sis!”
“What nonsense?!” Yuan Xuanhao said.
Xiao Lingyu intervened, “Weiyi, I’ve already said that President Yuan has given me the biggest discount. I have to thank him.”
Yuan Xuanhao replied, “We’re friends after all.” Then, he handed some documents to Xiao Lingyu, “I’ve done everything for you. You only need to wire the money into this account on time. Now, this car is yours.”
Ning Weiyi leaned over again. He grinned and asked, “Sis, how about I try out the car for you first?”
Yuan Xuanhao’s face turned black, “Ning Weiyi, have you gotten your driver’s license? Do you want to be caught by the police?”
Ning Weiyi cowered like a quail. “Fine, you don’t need to be so mean.”
Xiao Lingyu thought the pair of cousins was quite cute. Xiao Lingyu crawled into the car and backed out of the garage. She told Xiao Lingye. “Hop in. We’ll go for a ride.”
“Sis, I want to come to!”
“Me too!”
Before Xiao Lingye even got in, the other three had already claimed their seats.
The corners of Zheng Haiyang and his friends’ mouths twitched again.
Xiao Lingye saw the way his sister handled the car, and he was shocked. “Sis, you really know how to drive?”
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “Of course. Here’s my driver’s license!” Xiao Lingyu took out her driver’s license and showed it to Xiao Lingye.
“It’s real!” Ning Weiyi and his friends leaned over to take a look. “Sis, you got your license last year. Have you driven a vehicle after that?”
Xiao Lingyu answered, “Of course! Why would I apply for a driver’s license if I don’t have a car to drive? Come on. I’m a very scrupulous driver.”
“Lingyu, how about we go to the countryside to have a barbeque party?” Zheng Haiyang suggested.
“Yes, we should do that!” Ning Weiyi cheered. “Sis, can we do that?”
Xiao Lingyu smiled, “But isn’t that dangerous? What if we cause a fire?”
Ning Weiyi laughed. “We know a campsite meant for barbeques. We can fly kites and so on.”
Xiao Lingye was interested, “Sis, let’s go!”
Xiao Lingyu nodded, “Alright!”
Zheng Haiyang immediately said, “I’ll get Ziye to bring us a grill, or we can rent one there. However, we should prepare our own ingredients. The place does provide food materials, but they are not fresh, especially the meat.” At this point, Zheng Haiyang’s eyes sparkled. “Lingyu, I’ll have Gu Ziye bring the meat and seafood. Can you bring the vegetables?”
Xiao Lingyu was speechless. The man would find any excuse to have her crops.
“Okay!” Xiao Lingyu said, “I’ll stop by the rental house to grab the vegetables. We’ll gather at the campsite then!”
“Okay!” Zheng Haiyang nodded. “Remember to bring more of those vegetables.
Xiao Lingyu,”…” Aren’t men supposed to be carnivores?
Xiao Lingyu drove Xiao Lingye and his three classmates to the rented house. Xiao Lingyu parked the car by the roadside since it was too big to enter the alley.
The young men followed Xiao Lingyu to the house. Xiao Lingyu invited them in. Ning Weiyi was confused. “Isn’t this Grandpa Song’s place? Sis, you’ve rented Grandpa Song’s house?”
Xiao Lingyu nodded. “That’s night.”
“Wow.” Ning Weiyi reminisced, “I used to come here when I was a kid. But I stopped coming after Grandpa and Grandma Song moved away. But now I’m back here with Sis! Time flies!”
“We don’t have time for your sentimentalities!” Yang Baolin shouted, “Come and move the things. Wash these vegetables!” He brought out a box with several vegetables.
Ning Weiyi studied the vegetables, and he gasped, “They look so fresh and clean. I think you can eat them without any washing!”
Kang Le rolled his eyes. “Then you eat the unwashed food. We’ll wash our own food!”
“…” Ning Weiyi sighed, “Fine, I’ll go wash them!”
Xiao Lingye was picking the vegetables inside the warehouse with his sister. “Sis, do we really need that much?” They had already filled up three boxes.
Xiao Lingyu hesitated, “There are nine of us. I don’t think three boxes is enough!” She had no idea how large Zheng Haiyang and the men’s appetite was. “It’s better to bring more. The leftovers, we can bring back or gift them to take home.”
“Okay!” Xiao Lingye nodded.
After they washed the vegetables, Xiao Lingyu drove them to the countryside.
Gu Ziye, Zheng Haiyang, and the other three had already arrived. They were roasting meat at the burning grill.
They smiled when they saw Xiao Lingyu and her group. “Lingyu, you are too slow, so we started the barbeque first!”
Ning Weiyi walked over with a box of vegetables. “That’s because we stopped to wash the vegetables.” Then, he looked at the pork on the grill and asked, “Did you guys wash the meat?”
“No!” Yuan Xuanhao shrugged, “Feel free not to eat them if you’re so afraid!”
Xiao Lingyu and the rest, “….”
