Anzhi glanced in the direction she asked and then looked away. "I don't know her. We're going home."
Before leaving, she greeted the gentleman who had come with her, saying, "Thank you, sir. My sister won't be able to go to school for the next few days, so she'll need to take a few days off. Thank you for your help."
Then, he coolly carried An Ran away, leaving Chang Bai standing awkwardly on the spot. Why did he feel like the boy was looking at him like he was a human trafficker?
Anzhi carried Anran slowly home, and Anran on his back kept moving like a hedgehog.
Anzhi stopped and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
An Ran rolled off his back, looking around nervously, then at An Zhi's chin, who was slightly taller than her. "Brother, will Mother scold me if I go back like this?"
"Hui" was resolute and did not hesitate.
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, An Ran didn't dare to leave.
"Would they call you an idiot for not running away when you can't win and just letting them beat you up?"
An Ran retorted, "It was that ugly woman who got others to beat me up, otherwise I would have definitely beaten her to a pulp."
Seeing Anzhi looking at her with displeasure, she guiltily covered her head and cried out in pain, "Brother, you should carry me back. I still feel uncomfortable."
Anzhi knew her little tricks, of course. As twins, they had more tacit understanding and bond than others, and he could see through any of Anran's thoughts at a glance.
He squatted down again and carried her on his back. The little girl on his back whispered in his ear, "Brother, help me."
Anzhi gently lifted her up, saying, "Okay, don't move around. You'll hurt yourself and cry again."
"I don't cry easily. I'm crying for the Master and the others. How dare she get so many people to beat me up? I'll teach that ugly Zhang a lesson!"
Anzhi reached out and pressed on her injured hand as if to punish her, causing Anran to exclaim in surprise, "Brother, you've touched my wound."
"sorry"
As soon as they entered the house, the little girl who had been so fierce earlier became listless again. Qiu Rong, who was washing vegetables outside, saw the two of them come back so early. An Ran, whom An Zhi was carrying on his back, had a face that was covered in bruises.
Startled, she jumped to her feet, asking, "What happened?"
"Anzhi, what's wrong with my sister?"
Her anxious shout drew the attention of the three people inside, who came out as well. Liu Huan stumbled when she saw her daughter's condition and rushed over in a panic.
"safely?"
"Mother, waaaaaah!"
If An Ran was putting on an act earlier, she's genuinely aggrieved now.
"What's wrong, baby? Who hit you?"
Seeing An Ran crying and unable to speak, Liu Huan felt both heartache and anger. "An Zhi, what's wrong with your sister?"
Anzhi said, "It was Zhang Anxin who called several people to beat up my sister."
Upon hearing this, Ermo ran towards the academy, while Liu Huan couldn't believe it; her daughter had been bullied at school.
"Mom, my body is in so much pain, please blow on it for me."
Liu Huan pulled her daughter into the house, and Qiu Rong and the other woman helped her take off her clothes. Her body was covered in bruises, and Liu Huan was so angry that her fingernails were digging into her flesh.
Her eyes were filled with a mixture of heartache and anger. "Qiu Rong, you apply the medicine to her. I'm going to the academy."
Anran, who was injured, seemed particularly vulnerable and clung to her mother, refusing to leave. "I want Mom to put medicine on my wound!"
Her daughter's pretty little face was also injured, and she looked at her with such a wronged expression. How could Liu Huan bear to leave?
"Alright, Mommy will apply the medicine for you. Don't move around."
After applying the medicine, she wanted her mother to hold her while she slept, and Liu Huan always complied. She went to bed, held her, and coaxed her to sleep. Just as she got up, An Ran woke up.
She mumbled sleepily, "Mother, don't go."
Liu Huan decided not to leave and just held her while she slept. She knew that An Ran had been insecure ever since she was abducted. Since Er Mo had gone, she would go again tomorrow.
Anzhi pushed open the door and tiptoed in, took off his clothes and shoes, and lay down at the innermost part of the room, placing his hand on Anran's body.
Liu Huanhuan held his hand and stayed with the two children until they fell asleep.
Ermo ran off aggressively, but the parents of those people hadn't arrived yet. At this moment, the group was locked in a stalemate in the courtyard, led by the newly appointed county magistrate.
Having calmed down somewhat from his earlier anger, he bowed to the crowd and said, "Dean Wu, could you please give me an explanation for what happened today?"
Su Yi looked at him and asked, "Who is that girl to you?"
Ermo straightened up and replied, "She's my niece, she just started studying here this year."
Seeing that the two men sounded like acquaintances, Dean Wu thought to himself that this matter was unlikely to end well.
Dean Wu said, "Uncle Anran, don't worry. We'll ask Anran together when her parents come. We'll definitely give her an explanation."
The furthest away was the Zhang family from Heshui Village. The others were all from the county and arrived quickly. When Feng arrived, she slapped Zhang Anxin across the face first.
"You little hussy, I work hard at home to earn money for your education, and you go and bully female students at the academy. Do you want to die?"
Zhang Anxin was slapped to the ground and didn't dare to say a word. Seeing this, the director called an old woman to stop the person, "Alright, let's talk things out. Why are you hitting the child right away?"
Ms. Feng hurriedly smiled and apologized, saying, "Director, where is the injured child? I'll go and apologize to him."
The hospital director pointed to Ermo beside him, "The child has already been taken to the hospital and taken home. His uncle is here now. You can talk to him if you need anything."
Feng smiled and turned to the side, but her expression changed the moment she saw the second steamed bun.
She thought she was hitting someone else, but it turned out to be that little hussy. What's there to say? She deserved it.
"Ermo, why are you here? Where's your sister?"
Ermo coldly replied, "What, can't I come?"
Mrs. Feng waved her hand, "I didn't say that. We're all neighbors. It's not worth calling me over for kids' little squabbles. I haven't even finished tending to my crops yet."
Seeing this, the dean asked, "Zhang Anxin, why did you bring others to beat people up?"
Zhang Anxin was completely disoriented at this point. She said evasively, "She hit me first and tore my clothes, so I wanted to teach her a lesson."
Upon hearing this, Madam Feng jumped up in alarm, pulled her up and looked her over. Sure enough, she saw the hole she had mentioned in the sleeve.
"So, it was your Anran who hit my Anxin first. Are you trying to frame me by making false accusations?"
Dean Wu looked at Su Yi and then at Madam Feng, his anger rising to his feet. "You woman, stop talking nonsense! What we saw with our own eyes, how could it be false?"
Ermo knew that this stalemate would not lead to anything, so he focused on the key point: "Dean, I'm sure everyone has seen my niece's injuries. If such a young child is disfigured, wouldn't that ruin her life?"
"Such highly dangerous students would be a big problem if they stayed at the academy."
Upon hearing this, Madam Feng objected, "Liu Ermo, what do you mean? Do you think you can fire my Anxin over such a trivial matter?"
