In the early morning, all is quiet, and a glimmer of light appears on the eastern horizon...

A ray of sunlight shone through the thick clouds and shone straight in from the window.

Outside the house, the sound of roosters crowing mixed with Li's loud scolding and cursing made the whole yard noisy and bustling.

Hua Shi didn't know how many times she had woken up in such a situation. She opened her eyes and squinted them because she was so sleepy.

"Meow……"

The black cat lay lazily on her neck, rubbing it like a spoiled child, meowing as if it was unhappy about being suddenly woken up.

Outside the courtyard, Li's scolding and cursing became louder and louder. It was obvious that she was very angry early in the morning.

"...I told you to remember to close it, watch it, and check it thoroughly! And this is how you showed it to me! Can't you see such a huge hole?! Are you blind? You have eyes so big that you can't see! You're a jerk who can't do anything good, but always causes trouble..."

No one knew why, but Li's anger continued. Apart from her loud scolding and cursing, there was no other sound.

Hua Shi knew without thinking who the curse was directed at.

I don't know what Li is dissatisfied with Hua Yu for doing...

Hua Shi sighed and got up helplessly.

The black cat curled up in her quilt meowed, turned over, curled up in her sheets, and fell asleep again.

Hua Shi lifted the sheet and pulled the black cat out. Under the bright light, she could clearly see that the wounds on the black cat's body had healed a lot, visibly to the naked eye.

She was really scared last night. After she gave the black cat a few sips of spring water, the black cat suddenly convulsed and collapsed to the ground, spitting out black blood, as if it had drunk poison.

She was almost scared to death, thinking she had given it poisonous spring water...

Just when she was at a loss, the black cat spat out a few mouthfuls of black blood, then suddenly sat up on its own, licked its paws, and soon recovered and jumped up, rubbing against her affectionately...

Hua Shi finally realized that the black cat had been poisoned by a snake and had been dying for several days. The water from this spring could detoxify it, and after spitting out a few mouthfuls of the accumulated black blood, it immediately recovered.

After a night, the scars on the black cat's body were clearly visible and had healed a lot. Some fine and tiny hairs had grown on the new skin and flesh.

When it was blooming, I used spring water to wash off the dirty blood stains on its body. Now, the little guy's hair looked very fluffy and soft.

"Meow……?"

The black cat, picked up by Hua Shi with both hands, opened its sleepy eyes in confusion and looked at her with hazy eyes.

Okay, it looks like nothing happened and he looks energetic, so he should be fine.

Hua Shi put the cat down, wiped her face with spring water, tidied her clothes, and then hurriedly opened the door...

Li's scolding became more and more urgent in the yard. After a burst of messy footsteps, there was another noisy and fragmented sound...

"...You damned bastard! I'll beat you to death!"

Somehow, Li became more and more angry as she spoke. As soon as Hua Shi pushed open the door, Li picked up a wooden stick and rushed towards Hua Yu, who was squatting in front of the chicken coop, fiddling with something.

"Bang!" A dull blow hit Hua Yu's back. Caught off guard, Hua Yu fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

Hua Xiao and Hua Li huddled near the threshold, trembling with fear at Li's scolding. Seeing Hua Yu being beaten by Li, they tearfully called out, "Second brother..."

Li was not satisfied with just one hit, so she picked up a wooden stick and started hitting Hua Yu's back again and again with "pa, pa..."

Hua Yu seemed to have gotten used to it. He didn't resist even when being beaten. He just curled up silently on the ground, covering his head with his hands and burying his head in his chest without saying a word.

If he hadn't been beaten so hard that he couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't hold back the muffled groans, someone who didn't know him would have thought he was really not afraid of pain...

"Wow... Wow!!" Huaying, who had been huddled in the corner, watched her brother being beaten. Her eyes were red and her mouth was pouting for a long time. She couldn't help but burst into tears.

“Wuwuwuwu… Wuwuwuwu!…Hit…Second Brother…”

When Hua Ying started crying, Hua Xiao and Hua Li's eyes also turned red. However, they were afraid of being scolded by Li, so they held back their tears. Their eyes were red and they wiped the tears that were sliding down their faces with the back of their hands.

Mrs. Li was already very upset, and when Huaying cried loudly, Mrs. Li's anger suddenly rushed to her head.

He stopped beating Hua Yu with the stick, glared at her with eyes red with anger, turned around, walked angrily to Hua Ying, stretched out his big hand and grabbed her, "Why are you crying! Did I make you cry?! You feel sorry for this bastard, right? Huh?"

Li's voice was close to a roar. She leaned close to Huaying's face and said a few words, scaring her so much that she couldn't even cry.

Huaying opened her tear-blurred eyes, hiccuping repeatedly, unable to utter a single word...

Li reached out and pinched Huaying's arms. Huaying felt so much pain that her tears fell like beads that had fallen off the string.

What Li hated most was seeing others cry in front of her. When they cried, her anger would surge to her head. At this moment, she almost lost her mind and raised her palm to slap Huaying in the face...

Hua Yu, who was lying on the ground and groaned, half-crawled to his feet in embarrassment, "Grandma...it's all my fault, don't hit Xiaoying...it's all my fault...I shouldn't have failed to check properly. After the busy farming season is over, I'll go help the Li family herd sheep...I'll buy the chickens back...please..."

The boy's eyes were red, he was out of breath, and his voice was weak as he pleaded.

Li raised her hand and pinched Huaying's little face viciously.

Huaying burst into tears as she was pinched, her tears falling even more violently, "Woo-a ...
