Sloppy red hair, blue eyes, wearing a suit, smiling, looking to be in his thirties or forties—this is Arthur Weasley.
Short hair, plump, brown eyes, wearing a pink dress, with a kind smile, she looks to be in her thirties or forties—this is Molly Weasley.
He has red hair and blue eyes. There is a clear and slightly confused look in his eyes. He looks about five or six years old—this is Ron Weasley.
She has long reddish-brown hair, brown eyes, fair skin, and a bit of baby fat on her face. She looks four or five years old—this is Ginny Weasley.
That's right!
The Weasley family appeared at William Li's house.
Because their appearances were about 70-80% similar to those in the movies, William Li recognized them at a glance, and because of this, he felt like he had gained a new experience pack!
The Weasley family, especially Ron and Ginny, were exactly the kind of new opportunities William Li needed. He knew without even thinking that if he managed to "involute" these two, they could contribute significantly to his farming value.
Ron, being one of the three protagonists in the Harry Potter story, spent more time with Harry than Hermione did. He was, in fact, the most prominent supporting character in the series.
From this point of view, Ron definitely had great luck on his side. If William Li could get him involved in the farming system, he would definitely contribute a lot of farming value—possibly even more than Hermione.
And Ginny?
In a way, she was the real heroine. She ended up marrying Harry, after all. She also had a lot of luck tied to her, and William Li was certain that if he could push her into his farming system, she would also contribute significantly.
But these two weren't like Hermione. They wouldn't voluntarily become involved, so he needed to be clever about it. He needed a strategy to subtly push them in the direction he wanted.
William Li's eyes flickered as he looked at their mother, Molly. He gradually formed an idea in his mind. From the original plot, he knew that Molly was a kind, loving, but strict mother with a somewhat fiery temper. He could use this to his advantage.
At the same time, Ron and Ginny felt a strange chill. They shivered, suddenly feeling an inexplicable sense of foreboding, as if something bad was about to happen.
But as they looked around, they couldn't see anything unusual.
In the end, they simply shrugged it off, thinking it was just their imagination.
On the other side of the door, Mary opened her arms in welcome. "Welcome!"
She smiled warmly and invited Molly in. "Senior sister, long time no see!"
"Mary, it's been so long!" Molly smiled brightly as she hugged Mary.
She handed Mary the gifts she brought and said, "These are just some small gifts from me. I went to Honeydukes to buy some cookies and candies. Didn't you love their sweets when we were in school?"
"Thank you, Senior!" Mary's eyes sparkled as she took the gifts.
"You're welcome!" Molly waved it off with a smile.
Then she pointed at the family members standing behind her and began to introduce them. "This is my husband, Arthur Weasley. He works at the Ministry of Magic in the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office. He's very curious about all things Muggle, which is why he's especially excited to visit today!"
She then gestured towards Ron and Ginny. "And these are my children, Ron Weasley and Ginny."
"Say hello, dears!"
"Hello, Auntie!" Ron and Ginny greeted politely.
Mary responded warmly, "Hello!"
She gestured toward the kitchen, where Li Wenhua was busy, and then at William Li. "Over there, that's my husband, Wenhua Li, and this is my son, William Li."
Li Wenhua turned from the stove and gave a friendly smile to everyone. "Nice to meet you all!"
"Hello, Auntie, hello, Uncle, hello!" William Li greeted them all politely.
"Oh, such a polite boy!" Molly beamed.
With the greetings done, Mary invited everyone inside. "Come in, come in! My husband has been cooking all afternoon, preparing a table full of Dragon Country dishes for you to enjoy!"
"Really? We'll have to taste everything then!" Molly responded with enthusiasm.
At the dinner table, everyone sat down.
Mary gestured at the dishes. "Everyone, please help yourselves!"
At her encouragement, everyone started eating.
"Mmm, this is delicious!" Molly's eyes lit up after she took a bite. "How is this dish made?"
Mary smiled. "It's a Dragon Country dish called Yong Tau Foo. The process is quite simple." She then explained briefly how to make it.
"I see. I'll have to give it a try!" Molly nodded thoughtfully.
Their conversation continued as they tasted each dish, with Molly frequently asking how each one was made. It was clear that she was quite interested in the food.
Meanwhile, Arthur and Li Wenhua were also busy getting acquainted, mainly over drinks.
"Arthur, you must try this wine. It's a special type of baijiu that I had imported from Dragon Country. You won't find anything like it here!"
"Oh, I'd love to try it!" Arthur grinned.
Li Wenhua poured him a drink. "Here you go."
Arthur took a sip, and his eyes widened. "Wow, it's strong! It feels like I've swallowed fire, but there's a sweetness in the aftertaste."
Men could bond quickly over drinks, and Arthur and Li Wenhua were no exception. They soon became engrossed in their conversation.
On the children's side, Ginny quietly enjoyed her food, while Ron ate voraciously, like he hadn't eaten in days. It was an amusing sight, even to William Li, who couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
As the dinner progressed, the topic eventually shifted to children, as it often did among parents.
Molly began to talk about her twins, Fred and George. "They're always causing trouble with their pranks. Honestly, they drive me crazy! But they're quite smart, so I'm not too worried about their future."
She paused, her eyes landing on Ron, who was still eating with gusto. Her face fell slightly. "But this one, my sixth. He eats all day and can't seem to remember anything I teach him. I really don't know what will become of him."
Ron, who was busy stuffing his face, suddenly froze. He looked up, staring at his mother with wide, confused eyes. He hadn't expected to be the subject of conversation, and he certainly didn't understand why his mother was saying such things about him.
Molly, however, didn't pay him any mind and turned to Mary. "How is William's schooling going?"
Mary gave a modest smile. "He's doing okay. He's first in his school."
"Really? That's amazing!" Molly looked genuinely impressed. "How do you teach him? Please share your secret. I could use all the help I can get."
"Teaching? I didn't really teach him much," Mary replied with a smile. "He works hard all on his own."
"Really?" Molly seemed surprised.
"Yes, really," Mary affirmed.
Molly looked at William Li, clearly curious. "William, could you tell me how you manage to do so well in school? Any advice for Auntie?"
The opportunity was right there in front of him, and William Li smiled inwardly. The time had come for his plan to begin.
