Hua Nier's mother looked at Bai Tian, who stood in front of her, tall and strong with a serious expression.
A sense of panic rose within me.
"What...what are you going to do!"
Huani'er's mother shielded the children behind her.
Bai Tian was a complete scoundrel in the village. He drank, gambled, and beat his children and wife.
If the man in front of her were an ordinary man, Huani'er's mother wouldn't be afraid.
If a man hits a woman, she'll throw a tantrum.
But this guy in front of me is a bastard!
She was afraid that if she started to throw a tantrum, she would be pinned to the ground and beaten.
Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
At this moment, Bai Tian was the one who was barefoot, while Huani'er's mother was the one who was wearing shoes and had some reservations.
Go apologize to Juanjuan!
Bai Tian didn't intend to hit the woman; he just didn't want Juan Juan to suffer psychological trauma from it.
But Jiang Dai, who was not far away, was thinking about something else.
In this situation, even her stepfather can't easily resort to violence, and right now, money is the most important thing.
[The family is currently broke and struggling to make ends meet, so Er Mao and Juan Juan can't just take the beating for nothing!]
[But at this moment, I was still pretending to be unconscious, ouch...]
"father."
Juanjuan, who hadn't spoken until now, timidly opened her mouth.
Bai Tian immediately turned to look at his only daughter.
Then I saw the little girl kneeling on the ground, tears in her eyes, and she mustered up her courage to say, "She knocked my third brother unconscious and wants to pay compensation. Our family has no money for medical treatment."
The child's words had barely left his mouth.
Everyone present began to ponder this.
Jiang Dai: [Tsk! Juanjuan is amazing, no wonder they're mother and daughter! They have such great chemistry! Now we just need to see if Juanjuan's dad can step up his game.]
Bai Tian: [Oh yeah! At this point, you need to extort money first; your family needs to have money first!]
The onlookers, watching the commotion, thought: Wow, Huani'er's mother is in real trouble now.
Hua Ni'er's mother naturally knew that she had been extorted by the Bai family.
"Ouch..."
Huani'er's mother subconsciously used a tactic commonly used by village women in arguments.
Bai Tian sneered: "They're here, they're here, the familiar 'ouch'!"
But just as Huani'er's mother began to speak, she was interrupted by an even louder "ouch!"
Ouch!
“I can’t live like this anymore. If Er Mao can’t get better and his injuries can’t heal, I’ll risk my life. You better watch out, one day I might get drunk, grab a wood-chopping knife, and chop your whole house down!”
"I was just thinking of quitting drinking, and my wife isn't stupid anymore. Now your kid has ruined her!"
Bai Tian had never actually argued like this before, and he didn't know if arguing like this was the right thing to do.
But it should be fine!
"Third brother of the Bai family, calm down, don't be impulsive!"
“Hua Ni’er’s mother, this is indeed your family’s fault. Er Mao is still unconscious! What if something bad happens to him…”
"Hua Ni'er's mother, this family is not to be trifled with. Spend some money to avoid getting into big trouble."
The onlookers were very supportive, offering their advice and encouragement.
"Dad, this won't do. I have to step in."
At the right moment, Jiang Dai slowly opened her eyes from the arms of the big hammer mother.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I met the gaze of my little daughter.
Jiang Dai smiled gently. There was nothing she could do; she simply loved this little girl with whom she shared a deep understanding.
Then she slowly stood up, her body still swaying. Coupled with her malnutrition, she looked frail and delicate, making one feel sorry for her.
"Cough, cough, ladies, sisters-in-law, aunties, our family really can't go on like this anymore."
"Er Mao is a pitiful child! If he dies, I won't live either."
The woman was frail, but her voice was filled with sorrow. She uttered just a few ordinary words, yet they so easily touched people's hearts and evoked their empathy.
Coupled with her appropriate expressions and demeanor, she perfectly portrayed the image of a good mother who was being bullied and vulnerable.
[Ha! You know, for a good actor, lines are the most basic requirement; when to shed tears, how to unleash them—I have it all figured out.]
Seeing how incredibly helpful my parents are.
Yun An, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, felt that he couldn't hold anyone back.
[System, quick, quick, give me some artificial blood plasma! Just one sip will do.]
[Consider it a loan; your favorability rating will rise quickly!]
After receiving the blood plasma, Yun'an coughed violently twice.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, he impressively spat out a mouthful of blood.
