Nia's hands were slender and strong. She grabbed Lisa's shoulders and unintentionally used a little more strength.
"Nia, your hand is too strong...it hurts."
Lisa quickly patted Nia's hands on her shoulders and motioned for her to let go.
This was no joke. When Nia grabbed her shoulders, the nails on Nia's fingertips, which were not long, dug into her flesh. Lisa really felt some pain.
"Uh, sorry."
Nia's strength is much greater than that of ordinary people of her age.
This is something that children in the village have heard about, but not many people have actually seen it or "experienced it" in person.
I don’t know whether this is luck or misfortune, but Lisa happens to be one of the few people who has experienced it more than once.
Of course the adults in the village had also heard that this girl, who was tall but not strong among children of her age, had strange powers.
However, they only regarded it as a joke between children, and no one took it seriously at all.
Children in rural areas have never been pampered.
From the day they first walked in the fields, they had to be gradually counted among the family labor force.
Children in the village generally have a lot of strength because of the training they get from farm work.
But Niya is different. The villagers generally think that she is a young lady from the city.
Although this family has basically integrated into the village now, in fact Nia's family still leaves many rumors in the village.
Belkas and his family are not natives of the village.
This well-educated family can be seen as well-educated at a glance. Moreover, when this family first came to this village a few years ago, their tone of voice was very different from that of the villagers in Difenni Village.
different.
According to businessmen who often travel across the country, the accent of Nia and her family is from the imperial capital, which is enough to arouse imagination.
After all, the Imperial Capital is the most prosperous place in the country, where every inch of land is really valuable, and most of the people who come from there have a good background.
Moreover, you can clearly feel the difference in this family just by looking at their unusual conversation and manner of dealing with others.
Ordinary and ordinary people in the city, even if they live in the most prosperous imperial capital, will not be as educated as them.
I am afraid that they are not just ordinary city residents, but relatives of some nobles who came to this remote village to avoid their enemies. Or they are simply nobles. Of course, they may also be wealthy businessmen who come to avoid debts...
In short, no one thinks that this family is really like the other villagers in the village and is a low-class person.
Since he is not a member of the lower class, he should not want to come to this poor village, which even people from the lower class do not want to come.
Unless...you have "trouble" with you.
This guess is basically recognized by the whole village.
Rich and powerful people are not welcome by these poor but hard-working villagers, not to mention that they may cause them trouble.
Therefore, Nia's family was not welcomed in the village at first, and even suffered many unfair treatments.
All in all, it was not an easy process for this family to settle down in this rather exclusive village.
Many villagers are hostile to this family and want to drive them away immediately, for fear that these "plague gods" will cause trouble to the village.
Fortunately, time is such a magical thing.
No matter how bad the prejudices and rumors are, the "truth" will eventually be revealed under the baptism of time.
After several years of contact, the villagers also understood that this family was just ordinary people and had no so-called enemies.
They also gradually understood the origin of the Belkas family, although this origin cannot be said to be ordinary.
Belkas was a cook who worked in a large hotel in the imperial capital, and his wife was the only daughter of the owner of the hotel.
And this is also the story of a poor boy marrying a eldest lady.
They fell in love after a complicated experience, and secretly had a daughter as old as Nia, and finally the matter could no longer be hidden.
The boss did not bless them as lovers and even intended to separate them.
So the two of them decided to elope with their daughter to this remote mountainous place in order to let the father-in-law calm down first.
Although Belkas, who is not good at talking, this story has omitted many details.
But this touching story was enough to make the women in the village burst into tears, and they couldn't help but sympathize with this family of three.
Coupled with the well-behaved and obedient Nia and her polite and gentle mother Yuffie, they all brought a good impression to the people in the village.
And Belkas does cook well, which makes this story more authentic.
In addition, this family does not have the pampering and pampering of the wealthy family as rumored.
Although they showed various discomforts at first, their family was as diligent as the villagers.
This effort to integrate into the village was noticed by the elders in the village.
The so-called "integration into the village" mentioned above refers to "integration" in various senses.
After two years of hard work, this family is no different from ordinary villagers.
The estrangement between the villagers and the Belkas family was finally eliminated.
But the fact that Yuffie is the daughter of a wealthy family has not changed. And even though Nia is just an illegitimate daughter, as Yuffie's only daughter, she is still the apple of the eye of the boss, so naturally she is also a eldest lady.
No one thought a grown lady would do anything.
Although Nia is not an ordinary young lady and has never been pampered, this girl does not give people the impression that she is "very good at farm work" in appearance.
Her skin now is not the wheat color that is common in the village. Like her mother, Nia seems to have shielded her skin from the baking of the sun. She is still fair after staying in the village for two years.
From her delicate figure, she doesn't look very strong. You must know that most of the women in the village can be used as men. These women roll up their sleeves, but they have hard muscles underneath.
But Niya and her mother couldn't see it at all. They were still the first time the villagers saw them two years ago.
Except that Nia has grown up, and she has become more and more lovely. Even though she doesn't look like a girl in the village, she is still an educated young lady from a noble family.
Who would believe that Nia is a powerful woman who can punch the big boys in the village onto the stable roof?
Although, this did happen...a fact.
"Nia..."
Lisa crossed her hands and rubbed her still aching shoulders, and said with a wry smile on her face: "I just said 'what if'?"
"Lisa, don't scare me."
Nia leaned against the cabinet again and sat back down.
"Even if we really can't go back together, then..."
Having said this, she hesitated for a while.
Because - this is a question that must be answered seriously.
During this short pause, Lisa beside him also moved in his direction, and the two of them got closer.
