"My child, my child..."
"Chu Hong, you betrayed me and forced me to drink the medicine, causing me to lose my child. One day I will kill you with my own hands!"
"What are you looking at?! Get out of here right now!"
......
The crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground brought Li Shengyi, who was standing at the door of the dilapidated courtyard, back to his senses.
He shrank his neck and looked at the tightly closed courtyard door in front of him. It was a bit old and had a hole under the door panel.
When she heard the sound of bowls breaking in the yard again, she took a step forward to check what was going on in the yard.
Suddenly, a rough hand grabbed her wrist.
Looking back in the direction of that hand, when he saw the woman with a frown on her face, the doubts in Li Shengyi's eyes grew even stronger.
"Whose daughter are you, and why are you running around here?"
When the woman saw that she was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a jade longevity lock necklace around her neck, she immediately determined that she was a daughter of a wealthy family.
Even so, the woman's tone was slightly accusatory when she asked the question.
She looked up at the closed gate in front of her, as if she saw something unlucky. She exerted force on her wrist, grabbed Li Shengyi and was about to leave.
During this time, the noise in the yard gradually subsided.
Li Shengyi focused most of her attention on the courtyard gate. The woman pulled her, almost causing her to stumble and fall to the ground.
After finally stabilizing her footing, she raised her eyes filled with confusion and asked, "Is there a quarrel in the yard? Is anyone hurt?"
The innocent tone made the woman purse her lips, and at the same time, she became more and more certain in her heart that the person in front of her must have come from somewhere else and accidentally ran here.
She wrinkled her nose and lowered her voice to say, "There's a crazy woman living here who bites and scratches people. It's better for you not to stay here, young lady."
As if she remembered some horrible scene, she shook her body and tightened her grip on Li Shengyi's wrist again, trying to take her away from here.
But at this moment, footsteps gradually approached the gate.
The woman said "Oh no" softly and pulled Li Shengyi to escape somewhere else.
What she didn't expect was that Li Shengyi, who was being held by her, stood there motionless.
No matter how hard she tried, she could only drag the latter back a few steps.
Thinking about who the other party was, she was afraid of hurting her and her face showed anxiety. "Miss, please leave quickly. If that crazy woman comes out, she will definitely hurt you."
Hearing the sound of the door bolt being pulled open, Li Shengyi turned around and smiled at the woman behind him, "Thank you, but I have something else to do right now and can't leave for the time being."
Finally, she took out a golden bean from her waist pouch and put it into the woman's hand, "Thank you so much for what you did."
The woman held the cold gold beans in her hand. She had lived here for decades and had never touched gold. For a moment, her face looked a little dazed.
She bit the golden bean with her teeth and looked at the marks on it. She stomped her feet and pulled the person in front of her behind her to protect her. "Miss, you are well hidden."
Li Shengyi looked at the scene in front of him, and the smile on his face froze slightly, and then deepened, "I won't..."
Before he could utter the word "something happened", he heard a creaking sound beside his ear.
The gate made a sound like the tired sound after years of work, causing the two people at the gate to look up at the open gate.
When I saw that the person who opened the door was a little boy who was so thin that it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was skinny, coming out of the yard.
The woman who was standing in front and ready to be bitten and grabbed first breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she thought of what the little boy had done over the years, and her face furrowed again, with disgust in her eyes.
The little boy seemed to have gotten used to this, and his thin face had a numb expression.
He didn't even look at the woman, let alone see Li Shengyi who was protected by the woman.
After carefully closing the gate, he headed straight out of the city.
Even though the other person was so thin that he was unrecognizable, Li Shengyi still recognized him at a glance by his baby face that still had some baby fat even when he grew up.
When she saw that face, her pupils shrank for a moment, and then she raised her foot to catch up with the other person.
But she forgot that her wrist was still held by the woman.
Because she ran too fast, the moment her body lunged forward, her wrist was grabbed and she fell forward, turning a 360-degree circle in the middle.
Li Shengyi raised his head and met the woman's eyes. An embarrassed expression appeared on his face. "Well, can you let me go?"
Ever since the boy walked out of the yard, the woman noticed that the person behind her wanted to catch up with him.
Her already furrowed brows wrinkled into a '川' shape on the spot, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Miss, are you going to chase after me?"
"Why are you chasing them? Neither the mother nor the son in this family is a good person. One is a crazy woman and the other is a thief."
"He's going outside the city now, he must be trying to steal the vegetables that people have worked so hard to grow."
"Miss, why are you chasing after such a person? Be careful... be careful..."
What should I be careful about? The woman didn’t say anything else.
At that time, she was willing to warn Li Shengyi because she saw that the latter was good-looking, and she was afraid that such a beautiful girl would be abused by the mother and son out of curiosity...
With another golden bean in her hand, the woman looked down at Li Shengyi who stood up, with a more complicated look between her eyebrows.
In her decades of life, she had never seen such a rich lady.
