"Mom." When Bai An returned home, he saw Wanqing who had not yet taken off her clothes, and his eyes turned red with heartache.

Wanqing was silent for a long time. After hearing Bai An's call, she immediately stood up and walked towards her room, "It's okay, it's okay."

I don’t know if he was comforting Bai An or comforting his own current mood.

Bai An looked at the door that closed after Wanqing entered the room. He didn't know what to do at this moment and could only look at his father helplessly.

Lu Demin sat on the chair, thinking that he should not have listened to the village chief's nonsense. He should have just fought with those bastards behind him. He wouldn't be so heartbroken seeing Wanqing like this now.

Just as they were sitting in the room, silent to each other, a noisy sound of tinkling came from the yard.

Lu Demin was already furious, and when he heard the noise in the yard he became even angrier. He stood up abruptly and walked out.

When he opened the door, a black shadow ran past him. Upon closer inspection, it was the puppy that Bai An and his friends picked up today. The puppy seemed to be frightened by something. It ran into the house and hid under the table.

Seeing this, Lu Demin sighed and was about to close the door when a palm-sized stone hit his forehead.

Lu Jinan was quick-witted and quick-handed, pulling Lu Deming towards him.

...

...

"What's wrong!"

Bai An was surprised and wanted to get closer to see what was happening in the yard. Lu Jinan stopped her and shook his head. Then he closed the door, leaving a gap so that others could look in without worry.

Taking a closer look, one could see that the yard was filled with scattered stones. Not only that, but some stones would fall from the sky outside the yard from time to time.

"Why is this happening?" Bai An frowned and asked worriedly, "Why are rocks falling from the sky?"

"Of course not." Lu Jinan looked coldly at the stones that were still falling in the yard, "Someone was throwing them in from outside."

Lu Demin also frowned and looked around the room.

Lu Jinan opened the door and walked out. Before the next stone fell, he quickly picked up the stone on the ground and threw it out of the yard.

As expected, a scream was heard, but soon more stones were thrown in from outside the yard.

Bai An was so anxious that he ran out with the table on his back, ignoring Lu Deming's worry behind him.

"Brother, come in quickly." Bai An moved the table up. Lu Jinan saw it and quickly hid inside. He held Bai An in his arms and said, "Do you want to go out with brother to take a look?"

Bai An looked at the stones falling from the sky with some worry. Lu Jinan saw the worry in Bai An's eyes and comforted him, "You just hide behind the door, and I will go and warn those disobedient guys."

Lu Jinan's words made Bai An feel at ease. She grabbed the hem of Lu Jinan's clothes and said, "Then you better be careful later."

Just like that, Bai An moved behind the courtyard gate under Lu Jinan's protection. Lu Jinan found a safe place for Bai An to hide in, and also picked up a lot of stones on the ground and put them in his clothes.

Lu Demin, who was not far away, had already gone to Wanqing's side. Seeing Bai An in a safe place, he was relieved and shouted to Lu Jinan, "Be careful."

Lu Jinan made a reassuring gesture to them and opened the gate.

While waiting for the other people outside the yard to walk towards the gate out of curiosity, Lu Jinan took advantage of their inattention, used the gate as a barrier, and threw stones at the group of people outside.

Those people were screaming and crying as they were hit by the stones. They had no unity at all. When they saw someone being hit, they would immediately run away without caring about that person's life or death.

Seeing that those people had escaped, Lu Jinan closed the gate and pulled Bai An out from his hiding place.

"Brother, are they all gone?" Bai An looked out curiously. Lu Jinan held her face and said, "They're gone. Let's go in first."

As soon as she entered the room, Wanqing anxiously checked Bai An and Lu Jinan's bodies. Only when she saw that there were no wounds did she feel completely relieved.

"Jin'an, if something like this happens again in the future, don't go out alone. It's too dangerous." Wanqing criticized, "What would you do if they didn't leave and rushed over instead?"

"Mom." Lu Jinan looked at Wanqing, who was wearing a headscarf, and answered seriously, "If they really rush over, I will knock them down one by one."

After listening to Lu Jinan's words, Wanqing fell silent.

Lu Demin patted Wanqing's shoulder comfortingly and said, "I'll go get the table back."

Bai An also took Wanqing's arm and said comfortingly: "Mom, don't be afraid. If this really happens, I will help my brother."

Wanqing sighed and sat on the chair.

A faint sadness surrounded her heart, and she always felt that this matter would not pass so easily.

At this time, they noticed that there were two people following Lu Demin.

"Cui Ju, why are you here?" Bai An asked in surprise. The group of people had just left, and Cui Ju came here now. She didn't know if she would meet those people or get hurt.

Before Cui Ju could answer, Cui Ju's mother pulled Cui Ju and Xiang Wanqing to kneel down.

Wanqing was startled and pulled Cuiju's mother's hand to make her stand up. Cuiju's mother shook her hand and said in a crying voice: "Bai An's mother, I was wrong before. I shouldn't have put my mind on your family and caused so many things to be taken away from your family."

“I’m so sorry!”

While Bai An's family was in a daze, Cui Ju's mother pulled Cui Ju and kowtowed in front of Wan Qing.

Bai An was also startled and looked in Wanqing's direction, at a loss as to what to do.

Wanqing couldn't hold back any longer at this time, so she grabbed Cui Ju's mother's hand and tried to pull her up.

"What are you doing? It's been so long since this happened. Why are you bringing this up? Why don't you get up quickly?"

Seeing that Cui Ju's mother refused to get up, Wan Qing had no choice but to speak to Bai An.

"Bai An, go and pull up Cui Ju."

Bai An nodded quickly and helped Cui Ju to stand up, but Cui Ju brushed Bai An's hand away, shook her head and said, "My family background is not good, and we have always been bullied. No one wants to play with me. You are the only one who came back to play with me at the beginning, so Bai An, just let me kneel down."

"My mother said everything is fine, you should get up quickly." Bai An was a little surprised at the current state of Cui Ju and her daughter, but he got an answer in the next second.

Meanwhile, Cui Ju's mother took out a small bag of flour from her arms and was about to put it in the arms of Wan Qing who was squatting in front of her. Seeing that Wan Qing refused to take it, she kowtowed to Wan Qing with a bang.
