Four-year-old Juanjuan was unloved by her father, ignored by her mother, and bullied by her older brothers. Left to shoulder the burden of a broken family all on her own.
Then one day, her pa...
"Ouch! My hammer!"
"Wang Xi's family, look what your little girl has done to our sledgehammer!"
Aunt Wang cried out and grabbed Wang Dachui.
Pointing at Wang Dachui's face and the wound on his arm, he started howling and cursing at Huani'er's mother.
Huani'er's mother was no pushover either; she grabbed Huani'er and pointed at her face.
“Look at our Huani’er…”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that her daughter's face was clean, with only a little dust on it, but no injuries whatsoever.
Huani'er's mother immediately changed the subject: "Look at them!"
Then she saw that the three children behind Huani'er had no injuries on their faces.
The aunties watching the commotion were amused.
"What's wrong with you guys?!"
Huani'er's mother punched her daughter and asked anxiously.
"What else? Your little flower girl is taking advantage of the fact that there are more of her than us to attack our big hammer!"
"Look what they've done to our sledgehammer!"
Big Hammer Girl also stepped forward and started arguing.
She wasn't very good at arguing, but at this moment, it was her own son who was hurt, how could she not be angry!
"We were beating up those two, but Wang Dachui insisted on getting involved!"
Seeing that things were not going well, Huani'er immediately spoke up to defend herself.
You see, she didn't want to hit the sledgehammer at all; Grandma and Mom were very protective of their children.
Why would she go and hit a sledgehammer?
She, Hua Ni'er, was clearly going to hit Juan Juan!
Big Hammer got involved himself, and he deserved it!
When Huani'er's mother heard her daughter say this, she immediately realized what was going on.
"This is all our Hua Ni'er's fault. Da Chui insisted on getting involved. If Da Chui had just stayed out of it, it would have been fine."
“That’s right, that’s right. Juanjuan and I were fighting, and Dachui just had to come and meddle.” Huani’er chimed in.
"Who told you to bully me..."
Just as Da Chui was about to speak, his mother covered his mouth.
Big Hammer's mother glanced down at Little Curly, who was kneeling on the ground; she didn't like the child.
She knew that Juanjuan was indeed a good child, but the rest of Juanjuan's family were such scoundrels!
They always used the fact that Juanjuan saved Dachui's life to morally blackmail their family. Gradually, that life-saving grace was also consumed by these annoying Bai family members.
Now that her son has been beaten like this, she is truly heartbroken and doesn't want to get involved anymore.
"Big Hammer's mom, this afternoon I'll collect a few eggs and go check on Big Hammer, then we'll call it even."
Hua Ni'er's mother didn't want the relationship between the two families to become too strained. Da Chui was indeed seriously injured, so she took a step back. It was a matter between neighbors, and besides, Wang Da Chui's uncle was going to participate in the provincial examination.
"Mother, let's leave it at that."
Big Hammer's mother tugged at her mother-in-law's sleeve and whispered.
Aunt Wang sighed inwardly, looking at Huani'er's mother who was trying to be friendly, then at Bai Ermao lying unconscious on the ground, and Juanjuan kneeling on the ground.
To be honest, what's left is a matter between the Bai family and Huani'er's family; they've already been extricated from the situation.
But thinking about how Juanjuan had privately apologized to her on behalf of her parents, she felt conflicted.
Juanjuan is a good child, but her family members are scoundrels and difficult to deal with.
Aunt Wang hesitated.
Huani'er, however, was like a victorious rooster, tilting her head back and making faces at Juanjuan, showing off her victory.
Huani'er's mother laughed, but when she looked at Juanjuan, her eyes showed disgust and loathing.
"So filthy, a family of lazybones, they've disgraced our Niantao Village."
"Hua Ni'er, come with me back home. Wash your hands properly with soap. Hitting someone like that is really dirty of you!"
"And her brother, I think he's just faking it! The whole family is a menace, don't try to extort money from us!"
Juanjuan listened to these words, but only clenched her little hands tightly without saying anything.
She was used to it, and dared not fight or talk back.
She has no family to protect her, and she might even get scolded at home for causing trouble outside.
She was indeed young, but she knew the feeling of pain after being slapped by her father once; that was what memory was.
As Huani'er's mother spoke, she looked at the aunties watching the commotion around her.
"You'd better stay out of it, or you'll get yourself into trouble. Don't forget how Bai Laosan swindled people!"
After saying that, Huani'er's mother turned to leave.
[Hua Ni'er's mother, I'll remember this! I'll make you pay later!]
[Where are the original owner's parents?! Why haven't they arrived yet?! Are they really that unreliable?!]
Yun An internally complained.
A crisp, angry rebuke rang out.
"Stop right there! Who said you could leave!"
