He kept hiding behind Xu Yan. Xu Yan didn't understand what was wrong with him, but Xie Zhuo recognized Lin Dong's second uncle at a glance.

That day, when he went to the field to look for someone, it was this dark-skinned, thin man with a simple and honest face. Although he didn't dare to lift his head when talking to him, Xie Zhuo still remembered his appearance.

The one holding the child must be Lin Dong's second aunt.

Xie Zhuo glanced over there, then released Kaixin's hand and took Lin Dong's hand instead.

Kaixin was also watching the commotion and was considering whether to shout to heighten the tension when she suddenly felt a void beneath her. If her head hadn't been stuck in the male master's collar, she would have fallen off long ago.

It let out a cry unconsciously.

Two people who were arguing not far away turned to look at the commotion after hearing it.

Lin Tianfu hadn't recognized Lin Dong at first. After all, the people in front of him looked wealthy; their cotton-padded coats, though not luxurious, were spotless and without a single patch.

The three children were wearing red hats on their heads, which looked like stylish ones bought at a department store or somewhere. They were also good-looking, and their fair skin indicated they weren't from the countryside.

I guess it's another city dweller who gets their clothes made by that tailor, Xiao Fang.

Lin Tianfu withdrew his gaze, but unexpectedly, the woman beside him first glanced at Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo, and then recognized Lin Dong when she turned her head.

"Lin Dong!"

She was taken aback at first, then tentatively called Lin Dong's name in disbelief and slowly walked towards them.

The fear on Lin Dong's face became even more obvious. He kept trying to squeeze behind Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo, and his grip was so strong that Xie Zhuo almost stumbled.

"Don't move!"

As Lin Dong grew increasingly frightened, Xu Yan, with a cold expression, spoke up to stop the woman who was getting closer to them.
