Qi Dayong was about to retort, but Shen Yu behind him gave him an elbow, and he immediately shut up.
Yunniang, who was standing to the side, saw Shen Yu restraining Qi Dayong.
My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, has calmed down considerably.
Shen Yu is at least able to protect Yao'er.
......
Pei Dalang and Chen Fang's carriage stopped at the village entrance, and they heard a commotion ahead.
Chen Fang couldn't help but feel worried as she looked at the crowd in front of her.
"Why haven't Yao and Yunniang returned yet? They've been gone for so long." Chen Fang looked at the bustling crowd and couldn't help but feel worried.
Logically speaking, Zhang Niangzi's house isn't far from the village entrance, so she should have returned by now that she's just delivering a money pouch.
But the two of them have been gone for so long and haven't returned yet.
"Madam, don't worry too much. I'll go check on her now. Yao'er is so smart, she'll definitely be alright. Maybe something's holding her up." Pei Dalang couldn't help but feel worried too.
The carriage couldn't get through, so Chen Fang had to stay where she was and watch the carriage while he went over to check on it.
Before Pei Dalang could even get off the carriage, he saw Liu Tie rushing over from not far away.
"Brother Liu Tie, what brings you here? And why are you running so fast?" Pei Dalang's heart skipped a beat.
"Huff...Master Pei, Yao is fighting with Qi Dayong's family up ahead." Liu Tie stood by the carriage, panting heavily.
"What? Yao girl got into a fight with someone?" Chen Fang, who was inside the carriage, immediately ran out upon hearing this.
Liu Tie nodded quickly: "Yes, I just went over and saw them fighting. I wanted to go and help, but the Second Madam asked me to come and call you."
Upon hearing this, Liu Tie didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately ran over.
When Pei Dalang and Chen Fang heard that Pei Yao had gotten into a fight with the Qi family, and considering that Qi Dayong would hit women, they were afraid that Pei Yao and Yunniang would suffer.
Before Liu Tie could finish speaking, they had already rushed out.
Pei Dalang didn't forget to call out to Liu Tie behind him, "Brother Liu Tie, could you please keep an eye on the carriage for us for a bit?"
Before Liu Tie could finish saying "okay," Pei Dalang and Chen Fang had already disappeared from sight.
He rushed straight into the crowd.
Pei Yao's hands were tired from hitting Widow Xia.
The villagers in the crowd were all reasonable people. Since Qi Dayong had told them not to retaliate when Widow Xia hit Zhang Niangzi, they naturally wouldn't retaliate when Pei Yao hit Widow Xia.
Widow Xia and Qi Dayong have really gone too far in bullying us.
While holding Qi Dayong in his grip, Shen Yu kept a close eye on Pei Yao's movements.
Seeing that Widow Xia was now beaten to the point of having no ability to resist, he said, "Ayao, don't be afraid. I'll heal her if she's injured, but if your hands are tired, you should rest for a while."
Pei Yao was so engrossed in the game that she only realized he had arrived when she heard Shen Yu's voice.
"Shen Yu, what brings you here?"
"I was just passing by when I heard some noise, so I came over to check it out." Shen Yu had just been passing by when he overheard villagers saying that two women from Liangshui Village were fighting with someone here.
Shen Yu immediately thought of Pei Yao, so he went around the crowd. Unexpectedly, he actually saw Pei Yao. Fortunately, Pei Yao didn't seem to have suffered any loss.
Pei Yao: "Shen Yu, could you check on Zhang Niangzi for me?"
"I've seen him, he's fine, just a little weak," Shen Yu explained.
"Who is bullying our Yao'er?" The two had barely finished their conversation when Pei Dalang's powerful roar rang out from the crowd.
Everyone quickly made way for him.
Pei Dalang and Chen Fang angrily ran out of the crowd towards this side.
"Who on earth is bullying our Yao'er and Yunniang?" Chen Fang shouted from behind Pei Dalang.
Both of them held their heads high, looking ahead with unwavering determination, hands on their hips.
They seemed determined to make a big splash.
Yunniang, who was beneath them, spoke weakly, "Sister-in-law, brother, I'm here..."
Upon hearing Yunniang's voice, Chen Fang and Pei Dalang lowered their heads to look at her.
Chen Fang saw Yunniang sitting on the ground, holding the weak Zhang Niangzi in her arms, surrounded by three children with red and swollen eyes.
"Ah! Yunniang, are you alright?" Chen Fang screamed when she saw Yunniang's disheveled appearance.
"But did they bully you? Where's Yao'er?" Chen Fang quickly went over to check on her.
Yunniang, fearing that she would worry too much, quickly shook her head: "Sister-in-law, I'm fine. You all go and help Yao'er. Yao'er is ahead."
However, without Yunniang saying anything, Pei Dalang had already gone there.
Pei Dalang immediately noticed that Pei Yao's hair was also somewhat disheveled, and she was holding a large stick in her hand.
He ignored the widow Xia lying on the ground and Qi Dayong, who was being held captive by Shen Yu, and wanted to shout angrily at them:
"What kind of family would bully two weak women like this!"
The frail, battered widow Xia lay sprawled on the ground: "..."
Qi Dayong, who was held firmly in Shen Yu's grip and unable to move, was speechless.
Who's bullying whom here?
After saying that, Pei Dalang ran to Pei Yao's side, took the stick from her hand, and pulled her with heartache: "Yao'er, are you alright? How did you get hurt like this? Did that woman hurt you?"
Pei Dalang pointed to Widow Xia and Qi Dayong lying on the ground and asked Pei Yao.
The frail, battered widow Xia lay sprawled on the ground: "..."
Qi Dayong, who was held firmly in Shen Yu's grip and unable to move, was speechless.
The energetic Pei Yao: "..."
The onlookers: "..."
It seems like Pei Yao isn't the one who wants to suffer a loss.
Pei Yao shook her head: "Uncle, I'm fine, my hands are just a little tired from playing. Why did you all come over?"
"It was Brother Liu Tie who came to find us, saying that you were fighting with the Qi family here."
When Pei Dalang heard Pei Yao say that she was alright, he felt much more at ease, but he still checked the places that Pei Yao could see with concern.
Only after confirming that she was indeed unharmed did they feel completely relieved.
Widow Xia was so angry at the sight that she almost cried. She said speechlessly, "Brother, who hit whom here?"
She was the one who was being chased and beaten all along.
Pei Yao and Pei Dalang ignored the widow Xia lying on the ground and ran to Zhang Niangzi's side to check on her condition.
Seeing that Pei Yao was alright, Shen Yu pushed Qi Dayong away from his grasp and took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his hand that had just grabbed Qi Dayong with disgust.
It was as if Qi Dayong was some filthy and despicable thing.
Even a scoundrel like Qi Dayong was hurt by such a look.
