As Jian Ning and Ah Man left the county road and walked up the mountain path on the left, one in front of the other, she suddenly called out to Ah Man. It was truly a slip of the tongue; after only a month or so of farm life, she had forgotten the details.

Damn it!

"My mother-in-law forgot to clean yours. Are you afraid of getting it dirty?" she asked Ah Man.

"Don't be afraid." Ah Man's eyes lit up, full of excitement and anticipation.

Jane Ning ruffled the small tufts on one side of her head, smeared some dust on her face, body and shoes, and tore the hem of her skirt. After a few times, the bright and beautiful girl looked a little disheveled.

She looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.

"Did you remember everything Grandma taught you?"

Ah Man nodded vigorously, "I've remembered everything. Don't worry, mother-in-law, I will definitely behave well."

"Okay, Grandma believes that Ah Man is a good child, let's go."

Just around the corner ahead was the two-entry manor. Jian Ning whispered, "A'man, it's up to you."

Ah Man turned around and smiled at Jian Ning, winked, then raised his foot and ran forward, shouting as he ran: "Help~~Help~~"

"Stop right there, you idiot! If you keep running, I'll skin you alive when I catch you! Stop right there!" Jian Ning chased her from behind, twisting her waist and cursing, with a fierce look on her face.

There was movement in the quiet courtyard. Two strong men, one tall and one short, came out from the east wing. The tall one winked at the shorter one, indicating him to open the door and go out to take a look.

Ah Man ran to the door, but it was still closed. She ran to the right side of the yard, still yelling, "Help! Help! Help!"

"You damned bastard, I'm going to tear your tendons apart!" Jian Ning chased after him and continued to curse. Just as she was about to catch Ah Man, Ah Man suddenly turned around and ran back, pushing her in a panic. The short, strong man came out and saw this and shouted, "What are you doing?"

Ah Man glanced at him in panic, without answering, and ran into the yard with the half-open door.

Jian Ning chased after him and was about to follow him in, but the man stopped her, "Hey, hey, you old woman, what are you doing? What do you want to do? Why are you barging in?"

"What does it have to do with you if I arrest my daughter? Get out of my way!" Jane Ning glared at him fiercely and made to rush in.

"Fuck you!" The man grabbed her arm and pulled her back, pushing her to the ground. At the same time, Ah Man ran into the yard and saw the tall man standing at the door of the east wing. She ran straight over and tried to get into the room, and even tried to get under the bed, but the tall man picked her up and threw her into the yard.

"Ouch!" Ah Man was really hurt by the fall. She kicked her legs and cried, "Bad guys! You are all bad guys! I want my dad to catch you and cut you into pieces! Wuwu..."

"Who is your father and what does he do?" the tall man asked coldly with a frown.

"Woo woo, my dad is my dad. He's a rich man. My family sells alcohol. We're very rich. Wait until my dad has people catch you. Woo woo, I'll let my dad beat you to death..."

The tall man's brows relaxed, he glanced at Ah Man, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

Jane Ning and the short man were fighting outside the courtyard gate. She dragged the man and refused to let him go. The man pushed her several times but failed to knock her down.

"Hey, you old woman have quite some brute force." He became impatient and was about to kick her away when the tall man came out and stopped him.

"What's going on?" He glanced at Jian Ning.

"Sir, excuse me for disturbing you." Jian Ning bowed casually to him. "My little girl ran into your house. I wanted to go in and catch her, but you wouldn't let me and even pushed me. Now, please give me a favor while I go in and get my little girl out..."

As she spoke, she was about to rush in, but the tall man stepped forward to block her. At this time, Ah Man inside shouted, "She is not my mother, she is a bitch, a wicked person!"

After shouting, Ah Man ran to the backyard. Two men rushed to catch her. Jian Ning took the opportunity to slip in and followed them, shouting and cursing.

A woman was sitting on the porch of the kitchen in the backyard, picking vegetables. Ah Man rushed over, kicking over several vegetable plates as he went, and then rushed into the kitchen. Inside, a man was pouring boiling water into a basin to scald chicken feathers, and another young man was chopping radishes with a knife.

The young man was none other than Ma Xiaomai. His forehead and mouth were all bruised, his face was bruised and swollen, and he looked quite miserable. And the man who was burning the chicken feathers was none other than Constable Wang Da.

The tall man chased into the kitchen first. Ah Man followed him around the long wooden chopping board, cursing him and grabbing the vegetables and radishes on the chopping board to throw at him, making Ah Man so angry that his hair and beard stood on end.

At this time, the short man and Jane Ning also ran in one after another.

When Jian Ning saw Ma Xiaomai, he was delighted and was about to take out his weapon to attack when Ah Man was surrounded and caught by two tall and short men.

"Let her go!" Jian Ning said coldly.

"You stinking bitch, you're so arrogant! I think you're just going to give up!" The short man was about to lift Ah Man up and hit her, but Wang Da saw this and said, "Hey, brother, brother, you can't do this..." He stepped forward to dissuade him, "Doesn't our Master Luo like virgins the most? This girl is so delicate and tender. How about keeping her and waiting for Master Luo to come back and deal with her later?"

"Put me down, you evil man, put me down quickly..." Ah Man twisted his body and shouted.

"Put her down." The tall man thought Wang Da's words made sense. Wang Da was a favorite of Mr. Luo's and a great cook. Besides, the girl was small but pretty, so it would be a good idea to raise her for a few years to grow up. Who knew Mr. Luo could even give her to his brothers as a reward after he'd enjoyed her? Why not?

"You guys..." Before Jane Ning could even utter the word "shameless," she caught sight of Ma Xiaomai glaring at her with disdain. She suddenly remembered she'd changed her appearance with makeup. If she didn't give Ma Xiaomai a hint, he'd take advantage of the chaos and run away, and she'd have to look for him everywhere.

Then he changed his tone and said, "You are all masters, why are you making things difficult for me? I am not a beggar. This is really my daughter, Jian Xiu'gu. My name is Tian Guizhi, and I am from Xiaoshui Village. If you don't believe me, go and ask around!"

Tian Guizhi was Tian's name, and her maiden home was Xiaoshui Village. Jian Xiugu was also her original name. Ma Xiaomai knew all of this. After she told him all this, Ma Xiaomai was surprised to find that the woman's voice was slightly like his master's. Then he looked at her eyes, and he knew immediately that his master had come to save him.

Jian Ning saw every subtle expression on Ma Xiaomai's face. Since Ma Xiaomai knew that he was there to save him, there was no need for Jian Ning to be polite.

However, before she could do anything, Ma Xiaomai suddenly jumped out, rushed in front of her, pointed at her and shouted: "She is not from Xiaoshui Village, she must be a shrew. My grandmother is from Xiaoshui Village. I have never seen this shrew. She is lying!"

Jian Ning raised her eyebrows. Was Ma Xiaomai crazy or had she been beaten stupid by these people?
