Chapter 55...Who swore brotherhood with you!
When Xiang Wanning woke up, she found the house empty and she didn't know where the big black dog she had been holding to sleep yesterday had gone.
Xiang Wanning didn't know if it had escaped while she was sleeping, and she felt lost: the big black dog was so majestic and very human-like. She had no friends in this village and was unwilling to trust anyone. She finally met a dog that could understand her talk, and Xiang Wanning really liked it!
She simply took some more money and prepared to buy a few sausages when she went shopping, trying to win its heart and steal it back!
As soon as she left the house, rumors spread among the neighbors. Seeing Xiang Wanning preparing to go to the market to buy vegetables as usual, they all stepped forward to stop her and asked curiously:
"I heard that your parents were taken to the police station? What's going on?"
"Oh, they were kidnapped yesterday, they are in such a mess!"
"He didn't come back all night. He must have offended someone!"
Xiang Wanning knew that they just wanted to show off in front of her and didn't care about her thoughts at all, so she said that she didn't know anything. Sure enough, she heard their excited and passionate voices again, as if they were the people involved.
Some of them received red envelopes and knew some of the inside story. They spoke well of Xiang Wanning in front of her family because of the money. But when they really stood in front of Xiang Wanning, they were jealous and stabbed her:
"Who were those people who came to your house yesterday? They said you were their biological daughter. Could it be that you hooked up with a wealthy businessman and are going to become the golden phoenix of our village?"
Xiang Wanning stood there in a daze for a moment. She really didn’t know about this! How come it has something to do with me?
Her heart was pounding, she was a little excited, but also a little confused: just yesterday she wondered where her biological parents were, and yet they were sent to her today? Could the gods in heaven also hear her thoughts and help her get what she wanted?
But is it really that smooth? Xiang Wanning frowned, unable to help but assume the worst.
Then, someone interrupted her thoughts and spoke in a high voice, seeming to be quite disdainful of what they said:
"What biological daughter? How could a wealthy family like them abandon their child to our village? Maybe the Xiang couple did this and sold their daughter to other places! That's why they were sent to jail!"
"There was a little girl who said Xiang Wanning was her sister..."
"What can a three-year-old girl remember? She must have been too anxious to find her sister, so when she saw someone her own age, she thought she was her sister!"
Some people agreed with their views. Looking at their own daughter, they didn't feel that they were inferior to Xiang Wanning, so they echoed: "Could it be that they made a mistake? I think my Ni'er is much prettier than Xiang Wanning. If they have to choose one, why can't it be my Ni'er?"
When she said this, she thought of the red envelope she received yesterday, and murmured greedily: "I have raised my Ni for four years. If they really see it, they should at least give me 40,000 yuan as hard work fee, right?"
The girl whose shoulders she pinched unconsciously raised her head in pain and weakly called out "Mom". Seeing that her eyes were red and filled with ecstasy, she moved her lips but did not dare to speak again.
If I disturb my mother's fantasy, I will be beaten again...
But the people around heard her and began to laugh at her wishful thinking: "Oh, Aunt Wang, don't you know whether Wang Ni is your biological daughter? Do you want to sell your daughter just because she is rich? Your boss is incompetent and has a mistress outside. It must be because you can't keep her! Why don't you look for the reason yourself?"
When Aunt Wang heard this, her face suddenly darkened, like an enraged beast. She raised her broom and began to drive away the people who were watching the show: "I will leave him sooner or later! Who wants to live with him? There are so many men chasing after me out there, I can choose from them all!"
"Look, she's gone crazy after just two words to her. Who would like such a person? She even wants a divorce. Wang Ni is so old now, who can she be with?"
“…”
Because of her own experience, Xiang Wanning was very good at reading other people's faces. When she saw that their expressions were not right, she immediately came to her senses from her previous joy. While they were gossiping about the Wang family, she ran out with the vegetable basket, letting them mock her behind her back, saying that she was "like a monkey" and "didn't look like a girl at all."
As they talked, they shifted the topic to Xiang Wanning, and they made some sarcastic remarks, and began to look at her from behind with critical and condemning eyes. No one thought that a golden egg had really fallen in their village, but they just thought that Xiang Wanning was lucky enough to be noticed by others, and they couldn't help but wonder, "Why did she do that?"
Soon they found out why.
Because several people from the Xiang family came here with the police.
The group was still chatting together when a few policemen first threw documents at them and said in a serious tone, "Regarding the child trafficking case involving Xiang Hua and Ye Hua from Pinghua Village, we will summon you to the police station to take a statement. Let's go!"
This powerful statement stunned the people who were watching the show nearby. As ordinary people, no matter how arrogant they were in the village, they had a natural fear of the police.
The woman, who had never trembled when speaking, now stammered, "This has nothing to do with us! We don't know anything about these things, so why do you want us to go to the police station?"
"That's right, haven't the couple already gone in?"
"Why should we go? We are very busy and don't have time!"
“…”
At this moment, Xiang Zhinian came out from behind them and looked at them with tears in her eyes: "Aunts, didn't you say you would help me yesterday? You must know the most about Wan Ning's situation. You also said that sister Wan Ning is the best child you have ever seen. How can you not help her?"
The appearance of Xiang Zhinian surprised the group of women. They always felt an indescribable discomfort in their hearts. They felt that what she said was strange, as if they would become extremely evil if they did not help them.
Before they could get out of this mood, Xiang Zhinian pulled the policeman's sleeve again, stared at him and asked, "Uncle policeman, Wan Ning's sister was bullied terribly. Do the couple really have the courage to do this? Will there be such things happening again in the village? You have to save them. Don't let more people get hurt, wuwu."
The women's faces changed.
There are too many dirty things in this village. After all, there are few educated people here. This village happens to be located in the area where two districts and counties are mixed, and it is difficult to manage both ends. Over time, the people in the village have become unruly.
"We need to understand the situation." Several policemen seemed to realize the importance of the problem and frowned: "Please come with us."

On the other side, Xiang Wanning, who had just bought vegetables from the market and was about to go home, stopped when passing by the river. From the reflection on the river surface, she saw a group of boys squatting on a tree, holding slingshots and staring at her movements closely.
Xiang Wanning was often bullied by them, but that cannot be said because she was not the kind of person who would give in. However, if these children go to the adults, they will be the only ones who get punished in the end. They even like to go to the adults to complain, and then see themselves being beaten in the yard under the guidance of the adults.
After knowing that she couldn't fight them face to face, Xiang Wanning always played pranks on them secretly, causing them to become enemies for a while and have no time to pay attention to her.
He came again today. Could it be that he knew it was his fault and came to settle the score with her?
When Xiang Wanning was thinking about how to deal with these people, suddenly there was a crackling sound, and a pile of stones fell from the sky and hit her head and arms.
The stone didn't hurt, but when their laughter rose and fell, Xiang Wanning could no longer bear it.
She put down the basket of vegetables, thinking that her adoptive parents had been taken away anyway, and no one would be able to control her even if she fought them to the death. So she simply kicked the tree trunk, kicking down those boys who were not very skilled in martial arts to begin with.
She rolled up her sleeves, endured the hunger in her stomach, ignored the frozen wounds on her hands, pinched their mocking mouths, anger rose in her eyes, and rode on them and wrestled with them!
Xiang Wanning thought, she had wanted to do this for a long time!
Unfortunately, two hands are no match for four punches.
When Yu Quezhou took the lead and a bunch of people followed behind him like a string of carrots, they finally found Xiang Wanning. Xiang Wanning was covered in blood, with disheveled hair, and was pinned to the ground by a group of children and beaten to death!
"Stop!" Xiang Tingye couldn't help but clench his fists and shouted immediately after seeing this scene.
What did he see?
This group of kids actually bullied Xiang Wanning alone!
As a father, Xiang Tingye wanted to rush up and punch them a few times regardless of the consequences! But as an adult, his reason told him not to hit a child.
Just when he was about to take these kids back to find their adults and beat them up, he saw that the group of kids, including Xiang Wanning, heard his voice and ran away without even having time to look at him.
Xiang Tingye: ...
He didn't have time to do anything.
Yu Quezhou turned his head and looked at him with disapproval. Xiang Zhinian seemed to understand what he meant and said hesitantly, "Dad, why don't you go talk to their parents? Leave this matter to Yu Quezhou and me."
Xiang Tingye looked at Xiang Zhinian and saw that she was pursing her lips with a hint of anger on her face, as if she wanted to join the battle and help Xiang Wanning to take revenge!
Most importantly, she is now three years old.
He turned his head to look at Yu Quezhou again. Needless to say, even if the parents of those children came to the door, they would not know whether to argue with Xiang Zhinian, who was younger than them, or with a dog.
This was a good idea. He slammed the table on the spot and said, "Follow them!"
Xiang Tingye was about to say to the remaining two adults, "Let's go back and wait for news," and "Let's find their parents first to settle the score," but after meeting their eyes, he read the same idea from them:
Follow secretly!
——
Xiang Wanning didn't forget to take the vegetable basket with her when she ran away. After she and the group of children ran deeper into the forest without noticing, both sides were still unconvinced. Xiang Wanning spat out the blood in her mouth and said breathlessly, "You five are bullying me alone. Is this fair?"
The group of kids rolled their eyes at her and said with a chuckle, "You're unpopular. If you have the guts, call someone over!"
"That's right, who in this village will help you? My aunt said you are a bitch. The marriage has been arranged, and you dare to resist? It's really bad luck!"
"Were you the one who plotted against us before?! We must teach you a lesson today!"
Xiang Wanning looked around, picked up a stone, and shouted at them in a desperate tone: "Come on, come on, who's afraid of you! I can't beat you to death today!"
She threw a piece directly at one of them's head: "Marriage, marriage, if it's so good, why don't you marry your aunt's son? You useless thing!"
Several people were completely enraged by Xiang Wanning's stone, and wanted to follow the previous routine, with the others holding down her limbs while the remaining one person beat her. But this time, before they could pounce, they heard a dog barking, which scared them so much that they took a few steps back and didn't dare to take action!
Xiang Wanning's eyes lit up when she saw the big black dog rushing out from behind her. She immediately hugged his body and said aggrievedly, "Why did you disappear? I thought you abandoned me!"
Xiang Zhinian, who was running behind Yu Quezhou, said:
She hesitated, not knowing whether she should take this step.
Why do I always feel that she is a little redundant?
Xiang Zhinian thought about it, hid behind a tree and looked at the scene in front of him: he saw Xiang Wanning took out a sausage from the vegetable basket, tore off the packaging for Yu Quezhou, and handed it to him respectfully.
Xiang Zhinian: ...
Are you paying tribute?
She heard Xiang Wanning muttering, "Brother! Go! Chase them and bite them!"
Yu Quezhou was forced to eat the sausage and chased after the kids helplessly. His enthusiasm was completely dampened by Xiang Wanning's action. After seeing the kids climbing up the tree, they circled the tree twice, growled twice, and then returned to Xiang Wanning helplessly.
He faced Wan Ning's expectant gaze and thought to himself, I can't climb, I really can't climb.
The children in the tree proudly threw branches and stones at her, said some obscene words, made faces at Wan Ning, and laughed, as if they were very happy to see that she couldn't do anything to them.
However, joy turns to sorrow. Just when Xiang Wanning was about to go home, she heard a cracking sound from the branches. Several children screamed for help in panic, and then fell to the ground one by one and rolled into the pool next to them.
It was as if a loud thunderclap sounded suddenly out of nowhere, and as they fell, an extremely strong stench instantly hit them in the face!
Xiang Wanning covered her nose and leaned over to take a look, only to see a sign with two words written on it: cesspool.
“Hahahahahaha!”
"You deserve it, your evil deeds will be punished!"
As Xiang Wanning laughed out loud, Xiang Zhinian's lips curled up as well. While silently repeating "hold it in" in his heart, he heard several laughs coming from behind him.
She thought she laughed without noticing, and when she turned around, she saw Xiang Chisong and the other two squatting behind a tree, covering their mouths with their hands, smiling brightly.
While laughing, he did not forget to make a gesture to himself to keep quiet, meaning that she should not reveal their presence.
Xiang Zhinian: ...
It's hard not to be exposed, right?
*
Some children went back crying.
They were covered in feces and excrement, and the smell was terrible. When they met other people along the way, they covered their noses and avoided them, which made them feel even more embarrassed. So they started to take a shower when they got home.
Xiang Wanning followed them proudly with the big black dog. Suddenly, she noticed someone behind her. She looked back hesitantly and saw a girl in a puffy skirt and a small windbreaker staring at her.
Out of her sight, there were three more people following her.
Xiang Wan Ning thought that she had seen what had just happened, so she frowned and thought randomly in her heart:
[She won’t report me, will she?] Anyway, there are no adults in my family. What if I deny it even if I am beaten to death? He shouldn't get beaten, right? 】
As if she realized her critical situation, Xiang Wanning squatted down, hugged the big black dog tightly, and started howling.
"Brother! Big Brother! You can't abandon me!"
"We are sworn brothers, you have to protect me QAQ"
Yu Quezhou: ...
No, who is sworn brother to you? !
