Zhou Wufu was the first to notice the commotion. He quickly kicked Zhou Dajin and ran towards Xingxing. He grabbed a wooden stick and started hitting Zhou Dahua on the back.
Zhou Dahua stumbled in pain and fell face-first into the dirt.
"Ouch..." Xingxing was used as a little cushion, and her back hurt even more from the fall.
"Get up, stop pressing on my sister." Zhou Wufu gritted his teeth and flipped Zhou Dahua to the side, only to find that Xingxing was still clinging to her.
At this moment, Zhou Dahua was lying on her back on the ground, and Xingxing was lying on top of her, her little face buried in her chest, and she was still sobbing.
"Xingxing, are you alright? Get up quickly, Fifth Brother will help you beat her up." Zhou Wufu picked up the little girl.
"Wah..." Xingxing cried loudly, her little mouth still stained with blood.
Zhou Wufu thought she was bleeding from her mouth and was startled. "Open your mouth, let me see where the bleeding is."
"My teeth... my teeth hurt... my back hurts too, waaaaah." Xingxing cried her heart out, her little mouth pouting.
Zhou Dahua whipped her with a thorny vine, and she bit him even harder. Later, her little teeth started to hurt. She was so pitiful. Zhou Dahua was so mean.
In the late afternoon, a large group of crying children returned to the end of the village. Hearing the crying, Zhou Laoda and his wife ran out.
"Why are you only coming back now? I almost made your father go up the mountain to look for you." They had just returned home after planting thorns at the village entrance and had just finished cooking.
“Mom, Zhou Dajin and Zhou Dayin are bullying us. Zhou Dahua hit my sister.” Zhou Wufu immediately jumped out to complain.
Zhao Guihua immediately glared at Zhou Dajin and the other two. "Damn it, not only did your parents bully us, but now you're bullying my child too!"
Zhou Dajin and the other two were frightened by her gaze and immediately ran away.
Zhao Guihua didn't chase after them. How could an adult like her fight with three children? Just wait, Zhou Laosan and Zhang Cui would come knocking on her door soon.
"Zhou Dahua really hit the stars! Where did she hit them?" Zhao Guihua came over to hug the stars.
Xingxing pouted, her little face was flushed, her nose was red, and a tear was still hanging on her long eyelashes. She looked so pitiful. She had stopped crying, but Zhao Guihua's gentle question made her feel wronged again.
She said, sobbing, "My back hurts, and my teeth hurt too."
Seeing her crying like this, Zhao Guihua knew that things weren't so simple. The little girl was usually so well-behaved; she would hold back her tears even if she was in a little pain. Only when she was in unbearable pain would she cry like this.
When they lifted the clothes behind her, Zhao Guihua and her husband both gasped in shock. Zhou Dahua was a truly ruthless girl, so young yet so cruel, just like her mother Zhang Cuizhen.
Xingxing has very fair skin, and children's skin is naturally delicate. The row of thorn marks on her back is quite shocking. Her cotton clothes are also stained with blood. If it wasn't done with great force, how could her back be injured through a layer of cotton clothing?
Although the injury wasn't too serious, it still hurt a lot.
"That damned Zhou Dahua! I won't forgive her! She beat Xingxing like this. How can a twelve-year-old girl be so heartless and rotten? What will she be like when she grows up?" Zhao Guihua cursed angrily, wiping away tears as she cleaned Xingxing's wounds.
It broke her heart. She would rather the cane be applied to her than let Xingxing suffer like this. But what was done was done, and all she could do was cry with Xingxing.
"Mother, we can't let this go. Let's take a rattan cane and whip Zhou Dahua dozens of times. We can't let our sister suffer like this." Zhou Erfu was furious and was about to rush to Old Zhou's house to settle the score.
"Alright, you just stay put. We don't need to come looking for you. Your third uncle and aunt are probably already at our gate."
Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Laoda finished speaking, they heard Zhou Laosan and Zhang Cui shouting and cursing at the gate, along with the cries of their three children. Soon they were banging on the door, demanding that Zhou Laoda open it.
"Brother, open the door for me! We need an explanation today! See what your five sons have done to my three children!" Zhou Laosan shouted.
Zhao Guihua sat on the low stool with Xingxing in her arms, walked to the corner of the wall, picked up the wood-chopping knife, and said angrily, "Let them in. I want to see what they want to say. I want them to give me an explanation."
"Calm down, don't actually kill someone." Seeing her agitated, Boss Zhou was worried that she might lose control and actually swing the knife at someone, which would be a huge problem.
"That depends on their attitude. If they beat the stars like this and still act unreasonable, I won't let them get away with it."
Zhao Guihua was truly furious. She had finally gotten her daughter, and she wouldn't have dared to lay a finger on her, but Zhou Laosan's daughter had beaten her. She was furious.
Seeing that she was still rational, Zhou Laoda opened the door. As soon as Zhou Laosan entered, he shoved him, which made him so angry that he almost wanted to chop off Laosan's hand with an axe.
"Brother and sister-in-law, you must give us an explanation today! My sons, Da Jin and Da Yin, were beaten black and blue by your five boys; they're covered in bruises, not a single inch of their bodies is unharmed."
"And Da Hua, look at your girl, she bit a hole in the burlap on Da Hua's chest, there are two rows of teeth marks inside, and you can see the blood. Even a wolf cub couldn't bite as hard as her." Zhang Cui pulled at her two sons and then her daughter, showing Zhou Laoda and his wife their miserable state.
Xingxing, who was still sobbing, looked up at him with her big, clear eyes upon hearing this.
Huh, Zhou Dahua's clothes really did have a hole bitten through them, and you could vaguely see the teeth marks inside. It seemed like she had bled quite a bit.
Hmph, it wasn't Xingxing's fault. It was Zhou Dahua who wanted to whip her with thorny vines, so Xingxing bit her. She just wanted to bite her.
