But he didn't appear until they had finished committing the atrocities.
She really hated it.
Looking at Tang Yue's face now, she even wanted to pick flowers for her.
"You want to settle accounts with him? Fine! Go ahead and go right now!"
It was so late that Tang Yue didn't dare to go out at all. Besides, even if she found that man now, she wouldn't be a match for him.
But seeing the look in her sister's eyes that seemed to want to devour her, she felt truly guilty. Even if she was unhappy back then, she should have waited for her.
Why couldn't she control her temper?
"Sister, please don't be like this. I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have left you there alone."
Tang Xin reached out and slapped her across the face again, this time with her hand bent.
The entire nail scraped across Tang Yue's face, causing her a sharp pain. She touched her face with her hand.
His hands were covered in blood.
It seemed her sister had really angered her; she knew her sister must be feeling very bitter right now. "Sister, if this makes you feel better, then go ahead and grab it!"
As she spoke, Tang Yue closed her eyes, blaming herself for her sister's condition.
If her sister wanted to scratch her face, it would be understandable.
Tang Xin really hated it and wanted to scratch Gou Sheng's face so that Gou Sheng could never be seduced by that face again.
But she still held back; "I can forgive you, but you're not allowed to be with Gousheng anymore. If it weren't for him and his sister always hating me, I wouldn't have been hurt by them... They're the ones who hurt me. If you consider me your sister, then don't associate with them anymore."
Tang Yue hesitated; "But Gou Sheng isn't that kind of person at all. How about I go find him tomorrow and ask him about it? Maybe Zhang Dong is just making things up."
After thinking about it all afternoon, she still couldn't let go of Gousheng. She would rather Tang Xin scratch her face a couple more times than break up with Gousheng.
Tang Xin suddenly burst into tears; "Tang Yue, we've been sisters since we were little. You don't believe me? I heard Zhang Dong say those things with my own ears. Besides, would I have ended up like this if it weren't for you? I don't care who you're with in the future, but I won't allow you to associate with Gou Sheng and his sister again. I hate them. If you insist on getting involved with them, I'll kill myself right now. Anyway, after what happened, I don't want to live anymore."
Seeing her sister crying so sadly, Tang Yue knew that this matter needed to be addressed.
She finally gritted her teeth and said, "Sister, does it have to be this way?"
"Yes, you have to choose between me and them."
Tang Yue bit her lip, drawing blood from the corner of her mouth, but she didn't care. She simply nodded and said, "I promise you I will never associate with those siblings again."
As she finished speaking, tears streamed down her face.
Tang Xin stopped crying upon hearing this; "Yueyue, go and boil some hot water for me, I want to take a bath."
Tang Yue stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

After returning from Nanwan Village, it was almost dark. He first took his female classmate home before riding home himself.
Seeing him return, Su Li smiled and asked, "How did it go? Did you visit that village?"
Gou Sheng nodded; "I went there, and they did indeed raise quite a few chickens, ducks, and geese."
Su Li breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and Gou Sheng's next words made her look at him with even greater admiration.
"Sister, those goose and duck feathers, the villagers said nobody wants them. They're currently dealing with a meat processing plant that handles chickens, ducks, and geese, and they have to pluck the feathers before delivering them. If you want them, it's ten pounds for one cent."
Hearing this, Su Li became somewhat excited; "Are you serious?"
Gou Sheng nodded, a little nervously asking, "Did I offer too much?"
Su Li shook her head; "No, this price is already very low, you're great."
Gou Sheng was pleased to be praised.
The next day, after remembering what happened last time, Gou Sheng still hadn't gone to see Tang Yue, and he didn't know if she was still angry with him.
Remembering her favorite osmanthus pastry, Gousheng went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some.
He bought her a few more new hair ties before riding off towards the Tang family's house.
He was in high spirits the whole way because his exam papers from last time came out this morning.
Next semester, he can go straight to his senior year of high school. In just one year, after he goes to university, he can be with Yueyue.
Whether it's engagement or marriage, he's fine with it, as long as she's happy. Thinking about this, he figured he'd take advantage of the two months during his senior year summer vacation to do more things.
If he earns more money then, and Yueyue loves beauty, he can buy her more things she likes.
Lost in thought, they soon arrived at the Tang family's residence.
He got off his bicycle and went up to knock on the door. The door was opened quickly, revealing a face that he found somewhat repulsive.
"Where's Yueyue? I'm looking for her."
Tang Xin looked at Gou Sheng and saw that he had grown taller again, and his features were more distinct and handsome.
He had a mature air about him, which made her stare at him in disbelief.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a while, Gou Sheng frowned and asked, "Where's Yueyue?"
Tang Xin then came to her senses and said, "Yueyue has gone out. Come back another time!"
Gou Sheng didn't believe a word Tang Xin said, and he didn't know why they hadn't gone to sell clothes lately.
He passed by there the day before yesterday, hoping to catch a glimpse of Tang Yue from afar, but they never actually came.
Gou Sheng shouted at the courtyard gate, "Yueyue, don't be angry with me. I've come to find you. Come out quickly. I brought you your favorite osmanthus pastry."
Tang Yue was peering through the door, listening intently, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't moved.
But she had promised her sister that she couldn't go out to see Gou Sheng if he came looking for her again.
Gou Sheng was interrupted by Tang Xin after shouting twice: "Gou Sheng, are you done yet? My sister isn't here. Don't keep shouting like that. If someone hears you, how will she ever get married?"
"Then don't marry anyone else, just marry me."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yue burst into tears again. She knew that Gou Sheng still loved her.
"Marry you? You don't deserve it. My sister saw you riding a bicycle with a young woman yesterday, chatting and laughing. Do you think she would still marry you?"
Gou Sheng never expected that An Yan would see him driving her around yesterday.
"No, that's my classmate. I just asked her to take me to do something yesterday. We have absolutely nothing going on. She's just my classmate, and I have no relationship with her whatsoever."
When Gou Sheng said this, he raised his voice a little.
Tang Yue did hear it, but the thought of her sister's objection immediately caused her smile to fade.
Tang Xin sneered at him, "Do you think my sister would believe that? You and that girl are so intimate, do you think we're complete fools?"
