When she arrived at the Ye family home, the large bags and packages she carried surprised everyone.
Liu Liu's reaction was even more exaggerated. She hugged Cheng Shanshan and kissed her repeatedly, saying, "My favorite osmanthus cakes! My brothers only buy me one during festivals. Sister, you bought so many! Ahhh, I love you so much! I like you so much!"
Cheng Shanshan didn't like being so intimate with people and kept trying to keep her distance, but Liu Liu clung to her like an octopus.
Ye Dong, who was standing next to her, noticed her embarrassment and pulled Liu Liu off her: "Liu Liu, speak properly."
"Okay, okay."
Liu Liu picked up a piece of osmanthus pastry, took a bite, and said with great satisfaction, "I just wanted to express my love for my sister. Suddenly, I feel like I don't want to marry my sister off to my older brother anymore. My sister should be mine."
"..."
Ye Dong gave her a cold look.
At this moment, Cheng Shanshan looked at Liu Liu and took out her own sachet: "Liu Liu, your older brother said you have the same one?"
"This one?" Liu Liu quickly wiped her hands and pulled out an identical item from her sleeve. She compared them and her eyes were full of doubt: "It's exactly the same as mine."
They are exactly the same.
The stitching and embroidery on it clearly belong to the Bai family.
Cheng Shanshan quickly pressed, "Where did you get this?"
"I found it."
Liu Liu likes to go to the cliff side whenever she has free time.
She usually made something out of it, sometimes like a jade pendant, but she sold all those things. This sachet itself wasn't worth much, but she liked the design on it so she kept it.
So, did the Bai family also come to Ping'an City?
This might have given her a bad feeling...
Just as she was thinking about these things, a commotion suddenly broke out outside, and then Fourteen's father rushed in with his men: "You surnamed Ye, give me back my son right now!"
The Ye family's attention was originally focused on the things Cheng Shanshan bought, and only then did they notice a little boy huddled behind a pile of things. After recognizing who it was, they said, "Don't rush, let me find out what's going on."
"Stop talking nonsense and get that brat over here right now." Fourteen's father rolled up his sleeves, his menacing demeanor suggesting he was about to tear him apart.
Ye Dong asked Cheng Shanshan, "Did you bring these people?"
Cheng Shanshan stepped forward, her face extremely cold: "Fourteen is someone I brought back. It has nothing to do with them. If you have any complaints, come at me."
"Damn girl!"
Fourteen's father, known as Wu the Scoundrel, spends his days fooling around and swindling others. This is the first time he's been beaten up, and by a little girl no less. He's really ashamed of himself.
So at this moment, he called over a few of his drinking buddies, specifically to settle scores with Cheng Shanshan: "You beat me up like this today and took my son away. If I don't teach you a lesson, how will I ever show my face in the future!"
Seeing Wu Hunzi about to step forward, Ye Dong quickly stepped forward as well.
Following closely behind were Ye Xi, Ye Nan, and Ye Bei. All four of them were very tall, and their mere presence instantly dwarfed Wu Hunzi.
Ye Xi, with a volatile temper, spoke in an extremely unfriendly tone: "Wu Hunzi, you came to my house and beat up our guests. You don't even respect us brothers, do you?"
Wu Hunzi was a coward, and when he heard this, he instinctively wanted to shrink back. However, thinking that it would be too embarrassing for him to do so, he immediately forced himself to retort: "I didn't come here to fight with you. I just want to take my little brat away." As he spoke, he glared at the trembling Fourteen in the distance: "Aren't you coming over here?"
Fourteen was so scared he almost cried.
Cheng Shanshan took his hand and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I won't let him take you away."
"Oh my, what are you saying? I'm his biological father. It's only natural for me to take my son away. What right do you have to fight me for him?" As Wu Hunzi said this, his rising anger made him reckless: "Damn it, if you insist on making trouble for me today, then I'll go to Magistrate Dong to get justice for me!"
Seeing this, Cheng Shanshan went straight over and said, "If you have something to say, let's talk outside. Don't cause trouble in other people's homes."
These words were exactly what Wu Hunzi wanted to hear: "Did you hear that? This girl has backbone. She doesn't need your Ye brothers' help. Go do what you're supposed to do."
The people behind him chimed in, "That makes things easier. Let's have a good talk with this girl."
"That's right, let's go, let's go."
Cheng Shanshan pulled Fourteen and tried to walk out.
Ye Dong blocked her way and whispered, "These guys are notorious scoundrels around here. You can't handle them on your own, otherwise..." He glanced at Fourteen.
Although he didn't elaborate, the implication was clear.
In fact, they all knew how Shisi was bullied and beaten on a daily basis. Many people felt sorry for this child, who had to face all this at such a young age and had lost his mother.
But everyone knows Wu Hunzi's temperament; he's like a stubborn plaster that's hard to get rid of once you've provoked him. So no matter how much people dislike him, no one wants to cause trouble for him.
Fourteen was well aware of this as well. He tugged at Cheng Shanshan's sleeve, his eyes filled with tears, and said, "Sister, I should go back first. Thank you no matter what."
Cheng Shanshan raised her hand and gave him a sharp rap on the head: "You promised to help me, and I've already paid you. How could you run away like this?"
"..."
Fourteen bit her lip.
He wanted to say what he could do to help, except to cause trouble.
At that moment, he looked like a frightened little rabbit, appearing quite pitiful.
Cheng Shanshan shoved it into Liu Liu's hands: "Take care of him for me. I'm going out to settle things with them." When she looked up at Wu Hunzi, her eyes turned icy cold: "You all come out with me."
I started trembling for no reason.
They didn't know why, but they developed a fear of a little girl.
After leaving the Ye family's house, Cheng Shanshan showed no fear in the face of the five drunken men and directly questioned Wu Hunzi: "You want to take Fourteen back, do you still want to beat him up?"
Wu Hunzi snorted coldly: "He's my son. I can beat him if I want, and I can skip it if I don't. It's none of your business." As he said this, his eyes were full of hatred: "Stop talking nonsense with me. Give me my son right now. I have a ton of things to do at home!"
Name your terms.
Cheng Shanshan felt extremely disgusted by his face.
Therefore, he didn't want to waste any more time on small talk and went straight to the point: "Sell him to me."
