Yun Yiyi hugged Zhang and thought happily that this was a blessing in disguise. She could finally use her spear skills openly and honestly, without having to practice in secret. However, she hoped that Zhang would not spank her next time she got angry. It was too embarrassing.

"Mom, I know I was wrong. I won't make you angry next time. Please forgive me this time, okay, Mom?" Yun Yiyi hugged Zhang and shook her chubby head and said.

"Okay, okay, mother is not angry anymore. Don't do this next time. You really scared me tonight. If you listen to me, mother won't hit you next time." Zhang said with a stern face.

"Okay, I'll remember it, Mom." Yun Yiyi responded obediently.

"Well, you must remember what you said." Zhang continued.

"Well, I'll listen to Mom from now on." Yun Yiyi felt relieved when she saw Zhang's smile. It's not easy. It's so hard to coax an angry Mom. Next time, let Dad coax her himself. Whoever owns the wife should coax her.

"Okay, Yiyi, stop hugging your mother and acting like a spoiled child. Let's eat quickly. Dad has to go to the village chief to discuss something later." said Yun the Butcher.

"Yes, Yiyi, you must be hungry. Mom has heated up the food, you and your dad should go and eat."

Yun Yiyi let go of Zhang and followed her to eat. Zhang lifted the lid of the pot and took out two bowls of rice. She handed one to Yun the Butcher and one to Yun Yiyi. Brother Yun passed the chopsticks to her from the side. Yun Yiyi took the chopsticks and began to eat by the light of the torch.

Zhang had made fried pancakes today. She'd added pickled chilies, pickled radish, pickled ginger, and an egg, along with some broken pancakes, and finally a spoonful of lard. Yun Yiyi took a bite; it was sour, spicy, fragrant, and appetizing.

"Mom, the meal you cooked tonight was so delicious." Yun Yiyi spoke unclearly with rice in her mouth.

"If it's delicious, just eat all the rice. If it's not enough, there's more in the pot." Zhang said with a smile.

"Mom, I'll be full after I finish this bowl and eat half a bowl. Let my dad eat the rest. Mom, come here, I want to tell you something." Yun Yiyi whispered to Zhang.

"Child, I can hear you even if you say it now." Zhang kept nagging as she walked towards Yun Yiyi.

"Mom, my dad bought steamed buns and meat dumplings today. Let's eat them together tomorrow morning." Yun Yiyi said in a low voice, pointing at the donkey cart.

"Okay, I understand. Yiyi is such a filial child. Even when she's away from home, she still thinks of buying delicious food for her mother." Zhang smiled happily.

"Mom, Dad and I bought a lot of things. You'll be able to see them when we unload the truck at the party."

"Yiyi, did you and Dad buy us anything delicious today?" Third Brother Yun came over quietly.

Beside them, Big Brother Yun and Second Brother Yun also pricked up their ears and listened secretly.

"Third brother, Dad and I bought steamed buns and meat dumplings. Mom said we can eat them tomorrow morning. Third brother, let me tell you, that meat dumpling smells so delicious." Yun Yiyi said as she ate her rice in big mouthfuls.

"Yiyi, did our father really buy meat buns? You didn't lie to me, did you?" Brother Yun San asked in disbelief.

"Third brother, I really bought it. I didn't lie to you. I'll take you to see it after I finish my meal."

"Well, eat quickly." Brother Yun San hurriedly urged Yun Yiyi. Next to him, Yun the Butcher had finished his meal and went to find the village chief.

When Butcher Yun arrived at the village chief's place, Scholar Li and Hunter Zhang had just arrived. The elders were also there.

When the village chief saw Yun the Butcher coming, he stood up quickly and asked someone to move aside to make a seat for Yun the Butcher. Yun the Butcher walked over and sat down.

"Yun the Butcher, you really raised a good daughter. If your daughter hadn't saved me tonight, my head would have been smashed by the refugees. Your daughter is really good at martial arts and using a stick. She knocked the refugee to the ground and he couldn't move, and I didn't even react. I really didn't expect that your daughter could be so skilled at such a young age." The village chief said while giving a thumbs up.

"Yes, Brother Yun. No wonder you brought Yiyi into the city today. Yiyi's skills are really great." Hunter Zhang also praised.

"Yes, Brother Yun, Yiyi helped a lot tonight. You are in the front and may not know. There is a group of refugees waiting not far from my carriage. As soon as we are defeated, they will rush up to grab food. But, Brother Yun, do you know how that group of refugees retreated?" Li Xiucai looked at Yun the Butcher with anticipation, as if to say, "Ask me soon."

Butcher Yun looked up at Li Xiucai and asked, "How did the refugees retreat?"

"I knew Big Brother Yun would be curious, too. I'm telling you, it was Yiyi who scared off the refugees. At the time, Yiyi was walking up ahead and saw the refugees not far from the carriage. She swung her stick with all her might, and with a powerful blow, she sent a fifty- to sixty-pound rock flying from the side of the road. When it landed, it turned into a pile of rubble.

"I remember that after Yiyi finished pulling out the stones, she picked up the stick again, without saying a word, and just silently looked at the refugees not far away. The refugees looked at Yiyi, then turned around to look at the gravel that fell on the ground not far away. Then, they crawled to the square. At that time, Brother Zhang and I were both dumbfounded. We really didn't expect that Yiyi was so skilled. A huge stone weighing fifty or sixty kilograms was kicked away by Yiyi and turned into gravel when it fell to the ground." Li Xiucai said in surprise.

"I was also stunned at the time. I thought we would have to fight again, but I didn't expect those refugees to be easily scared away by Yiyi." Hunter Zhang still feels incredible.

"I remember that when we crossed the square, there were still many refugees following us. But when I went back and called people over, the refugees retreated on their own. I thought they were refugees who were scared away because of how many people I brought with me," the village chief added.

Just as Yun the Butcher was about to speak, the young men from the village came over one after another to hold a meeting.

"Uncle Yun, your Yiyi is really good at using a stick. Thanks to her for helping me tonight, otherwise I would have been injured." The person who spoke was a young man whom Yun Yiyi had helped.

"Yes, Uncle Yun. Yiyi's movements were so fast that before we could react, the refugee fell to the ground and couldn't move. I really admire Yiyi." Another young man added excitedly.

"Yes, Yiyi's movements were so fast and strong, and she focused on hitting the refugees' arms and knees, so the refugees soon fell to the ground. I admire Yiyi so much." A young man said happily.

"Thanks to Yiyi tonight, otherwise we would not be able to come back from Tupo tonight. There are too many refugees stealing food, and we can't defeat them just by wanting to." The young man said with a look of fear on his face.
