In the evening, the Luo brothers, along with several nephews and the Yang twins, returned home.

He must have received the news in the city, because he excitedly called out Luo Yang's name as soon as he entered the door.

The group of children chatted together for a long time before going home.

The two Xiao brothers brought her dinner. Because of her injuries, the food was rather bland, consisting mostly of vegetables and a pot of chicken soup.

At the dinner table, the children kept putting food into her and Luo Yang's bowls.

Seeing that more and more food was being eaten from her bowl, Xiao Yunying hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, stop picking at your food, just eat it yourself."

Luo Chen ladled a bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of her, his tone filled not only with gratitude but also with a hint of respect: "Mother, thank you for finding Luo Yang."

Unable to bear such a sentimental scene, Xiao Yunying took the soup bowl and said, feigning indifference:

"Since I'm willing to support you, I'll naturally take full responsibility. It takes me ages to find something I've lost, let alone a living person."

"Alright, let's eat. My body is really sore. The sooner we finish eating, the sooner we can go to sleep."

Hearing her say that, the children all ate their meals quickly and quietly, without saying anything more.

Xiao Yunying spoke up to stop him, saying, "Don't eat so fast, be careful not to get indigestion."

She placed a piece of chicken on Luo Xin's plate: "Luo Chen, tell your teacher tomorrow that Luo Yang will go to school a couple of days later, so he can rest for a couple of days."

Luo Yang raised his head and said, "Mother, I don't need to rest. I can go to school with my older brother and the others tomorrow."

Xiao Yunying did not go against his wishes: "Alright, if you feel you are fine, then go ahead."

She stretched her aching back and said, "I can't take it anymore. I carried that chubby little Chen Yuanxuan for so long on the mountain road. I need to rest for two days."

After the meal, the children cleaned up the table.

After washing up, Xiao Yunying took Luo Xin back to the room to lie down. She was worried about tetanus, so she didn't pay much attention to the other wounds, but carefully applied medicine to the arrow wound on the inside of her arm.

Luo Xin gently blew on her wound, asking tenderly, "Mom, does it hurt?"

Xiao Yunying teased her on purpose: "It used to hurt, but the little fairy Xin'er blew on it and it didn't hurt anymore."

With her chubby little face, Luo Xin said earnestly, "Xin'er is not a fairy, Mother is the fairy, and the most beautiful fairy."

She gently stroked Luo Xin's nose with her finger: "My darling, Mommy loves listening to you talk. Come on, take off your clothes and go to sleep."

After resting at home for a day, her body felt a little less sore, so Xiao Yunying led Xin'er to take a look at the vegetable garden.

On the way back, he discovered that Liu Ge was still secretly following him like a ghost.

She glanced worriedly at Xin'er beside her.

That bastard, I wonder what kind of bad scheme he's plotting now.

When faced with opponents of similar or even inferior strength, Xiao Yunying was not one to tolerate humiliation.

She hadn't even settled accounts with them for the rumors that had ruined her reputation, so she immediately called out to him.

"Liu Ge, you stand right there!"

To everyone's surprise, Liu Ge, a grown man, walked even faster when he heard Xiao Yunying call him.

He casually turned a corner and disappeared from Xiao Yunying's sight.

Because she was leading Luo Xin, Xiao Yunying didn't chase after them and took the little girl home.

The wind picked up in the afternoon, and the temperature dropped sharply.

Xiao Yunying instructed the farmhands that if it was windy and snowy tomorrow, they should rest for a day or two and continue working when the weather cleared up.

It rained and snowed for a while in the evening. After dinner, Xiao Yunying leaned against the door frame, looking at the muddy ground.

"What kind of weather is this?"

Sleet is much colder than simple snow or rain. For impoverished farming families, this kind of weather could be a natural disaster that could freeze them to death.

A gust of wind blew by, and Xiao Yunying shivered from the cold.

Luo Yang brought over a cup of hot tea: "Mother, don't stand here, be careful not to catch a cold."

Xiao Yunying turned around and took the cup, wanting to pat Luo Yang's head as usual.

"So... good."

She paused for a moment because Luo Yang had subconsciously taken a step back to avoid her hand.

Luo Yang met Xiao Yunying's surprised gaze, paused for a moment, took a step forward, and pressed his head against Xiao Yunying's palm.

"Mother...I..."

Xiao Yunying touched it as usual, then withdrew her hand and held the cup in both hands: "It's so cold. My hands are cold, aren't they?"

Before Luo Yang could answer, she continued, "It's getting late. You all have to go to school tomorrow, so hurry up and wash up and go to bed."

Luo Yang didn't say anything more and walked towards the kitchen with his head down.

Xiao Yunying was a little worried; she didn't want the child to suffer any psychological trauma.

Luo Li was teasing the puppy with a rattan ball made of bamboo, but she used a little too much force and the ball bounced out of the door.

Two half-grown dogs stumbled and ran out. Seeing this, Xiao Yunying called out, "Walnut, Pine Nut, come back quickly, the ground outside is very dirty."

Songzi got to the ball first, and when she heard Xiao Yunying's voice, she wagged her tail and was about to run back when she suddenly stopped.

Walnut and Pine Nut walked toward the door, sniffing through the crack, and suddenly began to pry open the door.

Seeing this, Xiao Yunying put down her cup, walked to the front door, and leaned over the door to listen for sounds.

Apart from the sound of the wind, there was no other noise, but the two half-grown dogs kept scratching at the door and whimpering.

Luo Yang came over upon hearing the sound: "Mother, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yunying made a shushing gesture, became alert, and grabbed the shovel next to the gate.

If it wasn't Liu Ge causing trouble outside the door, she might really kill him with a shovel.

There is such a thing as legitimate self-defense here, and human life is not worth much.
