Chapter 5: A Man Fell into a Ditch

Chen Dani screamed in pain but couldn't get free.

"What are you doing? Let Dani go!" Liang Jinyu was so anxious that she threw the chicken feather duster over.

Wang cried out "ouch", covered her head, turned around and ran away.

"Wuwuwu, you shitty old woman...tear my mouth..." Chen Dani covered her mouth, tears welling up in pain.

Liang Jinyu was so angry that her eyes turned red, she wanted to chase after Wang and kill her.

"Ahh, it's bloody..." Chen Dani raised her hand, her palm was scarlet.

Liang Jinyu squatted down to check and noticed that the corner of Dani's mouth was torn and her left cheek was covered in blood.

Liang Jinyu was angry and distressed, soothing him, "Be good, it's okay, I'll go get you some water."

Chen Dani grabbed the corner of Liang Jinyu's clothes and said angrily, "I'm fine. I want to go and see."

[Wuwuwu, old bitch, I want her to die! ]

Liang Jinyu couldn't persuade her, and she also wanted to see what was going on, so she simply cleaned up the bloodstain for Dani and rushed to Toad Ridge together.

...

Shaozhou is mountainous, so both villages and towns are built on the mountains, and Yanghe Village is no exception.

The mountain that Yanghe Village relies on is called Qingxiang Mountain, and Hamaling is a hill on Qingxiang Mountain, which is the only way in and out of Yanghe Village.

Along the way, villagers asked Liang Jinyu about the theft of money from the Chen family. When they saw Chen Dani nearby, they would also ask how she fell into the water and asked Liang Jinyu to keep a close eye on her.

Liang Jinyu no longer planned to live in Yanghe Village for a long time, so she no longer had the desire to make friends like in her previous life. If she met someone with a good attitude, she would respond with a few words, but if she met someone with a weird attitude, she would just ignore him/her.

Chen Dani's eyes rolled up to the sky, but her mouth was in so much pain that she couldn't move at all.

It was not easy to climb Toad Ridge. The road was rugged all the way. Some places were so narrow that people could not even walk side by side. Fortunately, Liang Jinyu soon heard shouts coming from the mountain.

In winter, the leaves of the trees fall, the weeds wither, and the view from the mountain is surprisingly good.

"Old Three, he's running towards you, catch him!"

Old man Chen’s voice was like a loud bell and could be heard throughout the entire mountain.

Wang, who was standing by, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. She advised, "Don't chase him, don't chase him. Something bad will happen. If he falls, he will die."

"You stink, get out of here." Old Man Chen pushed Wang away in disgust, holding the horse whip and ran down the mountain, shouting, "Old Second, you're such a fool, I can't even catch you, Uncle Dashan, come and give me a hand!"

Wang paced back and forth anxiously. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of movement in the bushes and shouted, "Who's sneaking around there? Get out!"

Liang Jinyu patted the grass debris off her skirt and walked over slowly: "Now that the thief has been found, why is mother still so angry?"

"Why do you call him a thief? Did you see him stealing money? You bitch, you've made up a bunch of nonsense and made everyone run away. I tell you, if anything happens, I will never forgive you!"

"If he is not a thief, why is he running away?" Liang Jinyu asked.

Wang was about to argue when a whip slammed down on the ground.

Old man Chen pointed at Wang and said, "You are the one who talks too much nonsense. We will know whether you can catch him or not. You have long hair but little knowledge. If you keep yelling, I will punish you."

Wang was angry but dared not say anything. She glanced at Chen Dani, who was gloating over the misfortune of the person standing beside her, and instantly became furious and raised her hand to hit someone.

Fortunately, Liang Jinyu reacted in time and pulled Dani behind him.

Chen Dani escaped the danger and made a face at Wang proudly.

If it weren't for the familiar voice coming from below at this moment, Wang would not have let Chen Dani go even if she had to be whipped.

"Second brother, third brother, what are you doing?" The honest and steady voice came from Chen Lai Fu, the eldest brother of the Chen family.

...

"Girl, I know you didn't steal the money, but my mother raised me with great difficulty. Just once, please give the hairpin to her. I'll beg you for it."

"Miss Liang, there are people outside saying that the household registration will be issued in a year. There are only two months left. Even if it is for the sake of the young master, you should wait a little longer."

"Jinyu, please, just once. I am a normal man. You and I have been married for almost a year. Just give it to me. I swear to treat you well."

"If it weren't for you, how could my mother sell Dani! Liang Jinyu, you don't want me, Chen Laifu, to have no descendants, do you? I tell you, there is no way!"

"Can't give birth? If you can't give birth, then die! The bitch and the bastard should have died long ago!"

"......"

"Hello? What's wrong with you?" Chen Dani pushed Liang Jinyu, whose face was pale.

Liang Jinyu suddenly felt that the sound in her ears disappeared in an instant. She woke up as if from a nightmare. Her heart was still beating rapidly and she could hardly stand.

Chen Dani struggled to hold Liang Jinyu, looked at her and asked, "What's wrong with you? Don't scare me."

[That's not right. The book doesn't say she's sick.]

"Stop pretending. Don't think I won't dare to deal with you just because your man is back. I raised the boss with great difficulty. I know his temper best. Just wait, you will have a hard time in the future!" Wang spat and said like a curse.

Liang Jinyu bit her lips tightly until she felt the smell of rust in her mouth and then she stood up. Although her face looked ugly, her mood had returned to normal.

"Thank you for your reminder, mom. I will keep it in mind." Liang Jinyu said word by word.

Wang suddenly felt a chill and her heart was beating fast. She wondered what this little bastard was planning.

Liang Jinyu walked around Wang's path and went straight to Old Man Chen. Her eyes passed through the messy woods and fell on the mountain path.

There was the man she hated the most, and also the man she loved the most.

"Dingfang, your uncle Chen asked you to catch the thief, using any method you can."

Liang Jinyu's voice was like the sound of metal and stone, echoing clearly in the valley.

On the mountain path far away, the young man who had been yawning with his eyes downcast suddenly woke up. He picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at the man who was fleeing in the forest without hesitation.

With a scream of "Ah", the man slipped and rolled into the ravine.

The villagers who were roaming the mountain to capture people were suddenly stunned. What happened? Where are the people?

"Oh! My Shuanzi! My Shuanzi!"

Wang suddenly collapsed, crying and stumbling towards the ravine, falling several times without stopping.

Liang Jinyu raised her chin slightly, with a cold look in her eyes. Sure enough, it was him. That's right, he was the one who could make Wang pay voluntarily.

[Wow~ As expected of the dark crawling boss, so cruel! ]

Chen Dani looked at the young man with shining eyes, and didn't notice at all that Liang Jinyu had frowned because of what she said.

Dark crawling?

Liang Jinyu shook his head, thinking that only a righteous man with a simple mind would not do such shady things.

"Shuanzi? Why is it Shuanzi?" Old man Chen was startled and chased after him quickly.

The man's body was twisted and stuck in the groove, the felt hat on his head covered half of his face, and his shirt was full of mud.

"Ouch, help, help." The man cried out in pain.

The villagers nearby were too scared to touch him and pushed Chen Laoer who was standing beside him: "What's wrong with you? How come you can't even recognize your own uncle?"
