Fang Yan tried to break free from her aunt's grasp, only to discover that this woman in her forties was stronger than she had imagined.
He secretly exerted all his strength and struggled a few times, but the other person froze without even swaying, remaining completely still.
Fang Yan understood. It seemed that the person behind the recent series of small actions was planning to make a big move against her today.
If she manages to avoid it today, will it continue tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that? These past few days, she's been speculating and on guard, but she doesn't know which evil spirit is causing trouble in the shadows.
Although Fang Yan was patient and could remain calm, she was extremely tired of this kind of life where she didn't know who to guard against or who to guard against.
What's more, the person behind it all keeps making little moves and even tries to take advantage of Little Fish.
You can't guard against thieves forever; you can only be a thief for a thousand days.
Little Fish is a person, not an object. You can hang him on your waistband and take him wherever you go.
Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and Fang Yan never wants to repeat the incident of Xiaoyuzai and Qibei being bitten by snakes.
From this perspective, resolving the matter today might not be a bad thing.
Moreover, Fang Yan didn't know whether her stepmother had really injured her head, and she was anxious to go back and check on her.
If so, they can be sent to the hospital for treatment sooner.
As Fang Yan secretly decided to follow her aunt back, her only worry was what the other person might want to do to her on the way back.
And what about the safety of the little fish? How should she take care of it?
As Fang Yan was being dragged by her aunt toward Gouzi Village, she racked her brains for a solution.
Suddenly she squatted down, leaned close to Qibei's ear, and whispered a few words. Qibei tilted her head, glanced at her, and immediately took off running in another direction.
"Hey, hey, where did that beast go?" the old aunt asked anxiously as she saw Qibei run away.
Fang Yan disliked people intensely and would call Qi Bei "beast" at the drop of a hat, so she didn't respond to her.
Seeing that her aunt was still clutching the big iron bucket tightly, she knew that all the braised meat, soup and all, had been sold out for the day, so there was no way for her to get a bargain.
Fang Yan simply let go of her hand, letting her aunt carry the big iron bucket for her, while she bent down to pick up Xiao Yuzai, glancing sideways at her aunt, "Are you going back or not? If not, I'll take the child to buy things, I'm afraid your money won't end up in your pocket."
She spoke casually, but the old aunt's face changed drastically. Her heart skipped a beat, and she was so shocked that she almost threw the large iron bucket she was holding away.
I wondered, how did this girl know she had taken the money?
"What...what did you say? You're going to the county town every day now, you're practically a city dweller now, and we country folk can hardly understand what you're saying anymore." The old aunt muttered to herself, barely managing to hide her shocked expression.
Thinking to himself, he realized that he had only received this "business" an hour ago, so how could Fang Yanyan possibly know?
She must be trying to scare me. I need to stay calm and not let her frighten me.
Otherwise, the money you've already earned will just disappear.
In any case, her task was simply to "send" Fang Yan to the intersection connecting the county town and Gouzi Village.
In the shadows, Fang Yaojin watched Qibei run off in another direction, while happily clutching the meat bones in his cloth bag.
He even spent money to buy a meat bone for today's task.
I was thinking of using it to distract Qibei at a crucial moment.
Fortunately, he hadn't rubbed the tomato flower juice onto the meat bones yet.
Eggplant flower juice has the effect of causing paralysis and coma.
Zhang Laowu had instructed Fang Yan not to injure her dog, but to keep it for him, because his youngest son had taken a liking to it.
Fang Yaojin originally intended to knock Qibei unconscious before giving it to Zhang Laowu.
"Since the dog ran away on its own, I'll save myself the trouble of wasting another bone. As for Zhang Laowu, let him figure out how to catch the dog himself."
Fang Yaojin was overjoyed to have saved a bone and lost a powerful "opponent," his face beaming with happiness as he quickened his pace.
He had to get there before Fang Yan and the others arrived at Wangdouwan, meet up with Zhang Weicheng who was already hiding there, and wait for Fang Yan to walk into their "encirclement" before making his move.
Fang Yan had already whispered instructions to Xiao Yuzai, "If any bad guys come out later, your job is to hide yourself and not get caught. Can you do that?"
Are there bad guys?
Little Fish instinctively looked around, then, mimicking Fang Yan, whispered in her ear, "Where's Mommy?"
"Mom needs to find a way to catch the bad guys."
Little Fish frowned and said, "Then I'll help Mom catch the bad guys too."
Fang Yan: ...
“You’re so small, if a bad guy just grabs you, he’ll take you away. How will you catch him then? Mommy will have to go and rescue you, and then we won’t be able to catch him.”
The little fish was very distressed, regretting that it couldn't grow as big as its father overnight.
Thinking of his father, he hugged Fang Yan's neck and suddenly muttered, "Mom, if only Dad were here."
Dad is never home, never home!
He's back, but we still have to take care of him!
When he left, I told him to keep an eye on things and not let any other uncles get close to Mom.
Um!
What's the point of having a father who doesn't have any father at all?
If any uncles approach Mom in the future, he'll just pretend he doesn't see them.
Little Fish thought angrily, but finally agreed, "Mommy, I'll hide it well and won't let the bad guys catch me."
Only if he hides well can Qibei help his mother catch the bad guys.
Fang Yan sighed silently to herself. It was a pity that Xiao Yuzai couldn't enter the kitchen space, otherwise she would have put him there and felt much more at ease.
"The sun is so strong now, I still need to go back and prepare the dishes, so I won't go to Gouzi Village with you."
When they reached the intersection of the mountain road connecting the county town and Gouzi Village, the old woman stopped, put down the iron bucket, and said...
Seeing that Fang Yan looked at her as if she had expected it, without any surprise, the old aunt felt guilty and dared not look at her. She turned around and ran away.
"Auntie, watch your step, or you'll fall. After all, if you do too many bad things, the retribution will come, and you might even get something stuck in your teeth while drinking cold water, right?"
Fang Yan glanced at her aunt's retreating figure and gave her a cool reminder.
As soon as she said that, the old aunt was so frightened that she tripped over her own feet and fell flat on her face with a "thud".
"How can you be so heartless? I came here out of kindness to tell you that your mother fell, how can you curse me like that?"
The old woman scrambled to her feet, cursing under her breath, but her heart was filled with panic and fear. She had taken Fang Yaojin's money and was responsible for bringing Fang Yanyan here. Would she really be punished for this?
"God, I've done all sorts of things! If there's any retribution, it should fall on Fang Yaojin..."
Fang Yan ignored her aunt's grumbling, put down the small fish, picked up the large iron bucket, and headed deeper into the mountain path...
