Just as Fu Man'er was about to make her move, a child ran away, and Fu Man'er didn't notice at all.

She grabbed a handful of grass and was about to stuff it into Li Qing's mouth, saying, "You dared to talk about my father? I'll shut you up with this grass."

No matter how Li Qing tried to dodge, the grass was still stuffed into his mouth. The astringent taste instantly spread in his mouth, and tears streamed down his cheeks.

"Still talking nonsense?" Fu Man'er grabbed his collar and asked fiercely.

Li Qing wanted to speak, but his mouth was blocked, and he couldn't make a sound. His eyes were filled with terror, and he kept shaking his head.

Oh no, that's scary! He wants to go home.

"Speak! Why are you shaking your head?" Fu Man'er was very dissatisfied with his reaction, and her tone became increasingly fierce.

He wanted to say it, but he couldn't bring himself to open his mouth.

Wang Erni whispered, "Man'er, her mouth is gagged."

She was already used to Fu Man'er's fierce demeanor; when older children bullied Fu Man'er before, Fu Man'er would beat them into submission in the same way.

Fu Man'er then realized what was happening, and disgustedly pulled out the clump of weeds. "Speak!" Her imposing rebuke made Li Qing involuntarily shrink to the side.

"I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore, I'll never say it again, waaaaaah!" Li Qing finally managed to move his mouth and burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

Fu Man'er frowned, crying loudly, "Shut up, don't cry."

Overwhelmed with grief, Li Qing was not one to stop easily. Coupled with Fu Man'er's shout, he simply started crying at the top of his lungs.

"Shut your mouth." Fu Man'er muttered, reached out and plucked the few remaining weeds nearby, rolled them into a ball, and was about to stuff them into Li Qing's mouth.

Li Qing staggered as he tried to get up, but Fu Man'er grabbed his arm, preventing him from standing, and reached for Li Qing's mouth with her other hand.

When Liu Fang and Grandma Xu arrived, this was the scene they saw: their own daughter/granddaughter, looking like a little wild child, while Li Qing, who was much taller than her, looked like a steamed bun in Fu Man'er's hands.

Just as the bundle of grass was about to be stuffed into Li Qing's mouth, Liu Fang's eyelids twitched. "Fu Man'er!"

The more Liu Fang thought about it, the more frightened she became. She turned her head and glanced at Fu Man'er, who was looking down at something with her head down, seemingly unaware of her mistake.

No, we must teach Fu Man'er a lesson today, otherwise she will continue to hit people without any regard for the consequences.

Just as she was thinking that Grandma Xu had returned, Liu Fang hurriedly went to ask about Li Qing's situation.

Grandma Xu's complexion wasn't good either. Li Qing kept crying, saying he ached all over; he looked so pitiful.

"What did the He family say? Why don't we find a doctor to take the child to see them?" Just what she feared most had happened; Liu Fang was afraid that the child would get hurt.

If the He family gets any ideas and tries to extort money from us using this incident, there's no way we can escape it.

Grandma He waved her hand, "No need for a doctor. It's just children playing around in the He family. It's nothing serious."

Liu Fang took a sip. She hadn't had much contact with the He family, but she hadn't expected them to be so magnanimous. "I'll prepare something later; I still need to go and apologize to them."

Li Qing spoke first, and Fu Man'er acted second. Both matters needed to be clarified, and we absolutely could not let this cause any enmity with others.

Fu Man'er quietly turned her head and met Liu Fang's eyes. She immediately turned back. Oh no, her mother's eyes were so fierce just now.
