As Shuiqing opened her eyes, she saw the dilapidated room, half a piece of darkened bread, and five children with malnutrition, their faces full of concern. Eldest sister-in-law sneered, “It’s ...
Seeing that the toad from the Ding family ignored him, Fan Erzhu was even angrier. He squatted down, picked up a large clod of mud, weighed it in his hand, and threw it at the girl in front of him!
Tell her to ignore them and treat their words as nothing!
They smeared mud all over her, making her feel both pain and humiliation.
Hu Wenhua never expected that the three men would start fighting while they were talking! What kind of weirdos are these?
His body rushed forward before his mind could react, blocking the little girl who was drying herbs.
The expected pain did not come, and Ding Jiajia suddenly looked up.
The boy in front of him was exceptionally tall and strong, even more robust than an adult man.
He was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, which was a little small and clung tightly to his body, revealing his muscular chest.
He stood in front of her, his broad back completely shielding her. Large clods of mud hit him, but he didn't even flinch, as if it didn't bother him at all.
Doesn't he feel pain?
For the past two or three years, these people have been coming to cause her trouble every few days. They always choose a time when her parents are not home. She hides and then stays outside the house, verbally abusing or damaging the herbs, until they are satisfied or her parents return before they leave.
She lowered her eyes, bit her lip, and whispered a reminder: "If you help me, they will cause you trouble."
In the past, she had close girlfriends in the village who stood up for her, but the Fan family had many brothers and were older, so they were also insulted and beaten.
After a few times, she was left all alone.
My mother went to the Fan family several times, but all she got in return was insults from the Fan family women, each one more offensive than the last.
The woman from the Fan family not only did not think that her son was wrong, but also thought that she was wrong for trying to take advantage of her son, which was like a toad trying to eat swan meat.
Hu Wenhua looked at the soft, delicate girl in front of his chest.
He then noticed that she was wearing a veil, revealing only a pair of watery eyes filled with worry and concern for him.
Hu Wenhua felt a tremor in his heart and his throat went dry.
His Adam's apple bobbed, he quickly looked away, turned around, and faced away from the little girl.
At the same time, he whispered a reassurance: "It's okay, you're behind me. Let's see who dares to cause trouble!"
He looked at the three 'familiar faces' in front of him.
The three people looked at him, then froze, and stood up straight in unison.
“…Uncle?” Although they didn’t want to call him that, it was hard to break the habit they had formed in the past, and the three of them blurted it out.
After shouting, Fan Dazhu spat.
Hu Wenhua is his aunt's younger brother, and he is the maternal uncle of the five people, Da Ya, Er Ya, Jiang Hehu, and Hu. They also call him uncle.
Hu Wenhua is young, but he is of a high generation. In the village, the concept of generation is extremely important. Even a grandson with a cane has to call his grandfather in his swaddling clothes "Grandpa". So how much more important is it for them!
But the thought that he was a year older than Hu Wenhua made Fan Dazhu feel resentful.
They don't get along well with their second uncle's family, so they can't let Hu Wenhua control them today...
"Uncle, don't help this ugly monster."
"Don't be fooled by how pretty she looks through the veil. Let me tell you, under the veil she looks like a toad, with tons of little red bumps!"
It gave everyone goosebumps!
"Everyone in the village hates her. Don't let her get to you. Let me tell you, she's looking for a son-in-law! You're an only child. If you marry into her family, your parents will be devastated."
Fan Erzhu and Fan Sanzhu took turns trying to persuade him.
Ding Jiajia was hidden by his broad, thick back, so she couldn't see his expression. Her hands unconsciously rubbed the hem of her clothes.
She wanted to explain that the red bumps on her face were gone. Her parents said it was normal to get red bumps at that age from eating greasy food, and that eating lighter foods would help.
