Fang Rou was also persuaded to leave, and she carried a load of water with her when she left.
Xiao Yunying told the two brothers to go back first, but neither of them wanted to leave and insisted on staying to wait for her.
After the crowd dispersed, Mu Lianrong asked her daughter in a low voice, "Yunyun, who taught you that 'three men can make a tiger' thing?"
Xiao Yunying inwardly cried out that she had been careless. The original owner of this body was illiterate: "My embroidery master taught me to read for a while, but I found it boring and stopped. Luo Sheng is a book lover and has a lot of books at home. When I was bored, I would flip through them to pass the time, and over time I learned more characters."
The embroidery master who taught the original owner has moved back to her ancestral home with her husband and is unlikely to return, so there's no need for Mu Lianrong to search for or question her.
The two brothers pretended not to hear and looked away, both thinking the same thing: had their stepmother forgotten they were still alive? Lies just came out of their mouths.
There were many books in the house, but she had never read them.
They were convinced once again that the stepmother was definitely not the same stepmother as before.
Mu Lianrong, who sees her daughter through a filter, believed it: "I knew my daughter was smart; she could even learn to read at home by herself."
Xiao Shanhai brought a raincoat and several umbrellas himself, told his two daughters-in-law to go home, handed the umbrellas to his daughter and Xiao Changxing, and put the raincoat on his wife.
Not bad, except for a slightly messy hair, there are no injuries on her face or hands.
Xiao Yunying gave the two brothers a hand, while she herself held on to the other side.
Xiao Changxing said with displeasure, "Why are you only arriving now? Didn't someone call you earlier?"
"Cousin, I'm harvesting potatoes in the field, I'm not home."
"Don't pretend, I just sent someone to call you from the fields."
Xiao Shanhai helped his wife put on her raincoat before turning around, shrugging and saying, "It's no use me coming. What's the point of me, a grown man, getting involved in women's affairs? Don't let people say that the men of the Xiao family are bullying women."
All the men in the village tacitly agreed that when women got into a fight, they were only responsible for stopping them. If any man started a fight, the nature of the situation would change, and it could very well escalate into a brawl between the men of the two families.
As for Liu Ge, with his frail and weak physique, he really didn't treat him like a man. His wife could take on several men, so he wasn't worried at all.
If he comes, it's not a good question whether to stop him or not. It's better if he doesn't come at all, since his wife won't suffer any loss in the end.
After so many years of marriage, the two understood each other's temperaments thoroughly. Mu Lianrong understood the meaning behind Xiao Shanhai's words, rolled her eyes at him, but couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.
It's good that he's smart; his presence is useless and will only hinder her performance.
Xiao Yunying silently turned her head away. She had eaten a full lunch and didn't want to eat the dog food her parents were showing off.
Xiao Changxing stopped asking and looked away, deciding to avoid the problem altogether.
This cousin of mine spoiled his wife rotten when he was young, regardless of what others thought, and he still does now that he's old.
He didn't know why the two had such a good relationship, and he wouldn't admit that he was a little envious.
Xiao Shanhai glanced at his daughter when he had a moment to spare: "What happened to your face?"
Mu Lianrong said with heartache, "What else could have happened? She got beaten up by a madman. Look at the injuries he did to our daughter's face."
Although Xiao Yunying couldn't see the condition of her face, she could tell that it was a scratch from He Hua's fingernails. If her father had come any later, the red marks would have faded.
Compared to the marks her second sister-in-law left on He Hua's face, her few scratches were really insignificant.
Xiao Shanhai rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscular arms, and walked towards Liu Ge: "Is it you, you little bastard, who slapped my daughter's face like this?"
He can't lay a hand on a woman, but he can't lay a hand on a man either!
Liu Ge was bitter inside. Regardless of whether he hit Xiao Yunying's face or not, couldn't he see how badly his daughter had beaten him?
But he didn't have the guts. Although Xiao Shanhai was much older than him, he had worked in the fields and hunted in the mountains for a long time. He didn't look fat, but he had a strong physique. He could beat him up as easily as playing a game. He could only be humble and cautious.
"Uncle Xiao, please don't misunderstand. I didn't hit Miss Xiao; it was He Hua who did."
To distance herself from the relationship, she didn't even dare call her cousin anymore.
"Dad, don't scare him. If you scare him to death, what will happen if his mother doesn't give him the money?"
Xiao Shan Hai listened to his daughter's advice and said, "Kid, I'll let you off the hook for my daughter's sake. But if you dare to bully my daughter again, don't blame me for bullying you because you have no father."
After issuing a warning, Xiao Shanhai returned to Mu Lianrong's side, muttering to himself, "My wife really went all out this time; she beat Liu Ge until his face was covered in blood."
At this time, Xiao Shanhai didn't know exactly what had happened. The messenger only said that his daughter had gotten into a fight with Liu Xiucai and He Hua, but he didn't know that Liu Ge had groped him afterwards.
If he knew about this, given his temper, even the village chief wouldn't be able to stop him. He would definitely cut off Liu Ge's hand to teach him a lesson before he could feel better.
