But before Aunt Li could even take two hurried steps, the oil lamp on the ground was lifted up.
Aunt Li's heart sank, and she held her breath and looked up.
Shen Jiahao's gloomy and cold face was clearly visible under the light of the oil lamp. He looked at Lili and Shen Jialuo, who were getting up from the field, with eyes that seemed to be filled with ice, staring at them coldly.
Aunt Li moved her lips, but was so frightened by the coldness in Shen Jiahao's eyes that she took two steps back and almost fell into the field.
Damn, he's just a kid, how can he be so scary?
When Lili saw Shen Jiahao, she was overjoyed. She patted the dirt off her skirt and loudly complained, "Big brother, she stole our rice and even kicked you into the field!"
Shen Jiahao's fist clenched instantly, making a cracking sound, and a slight bulge of veins appeared on his forehead. He approached Aunt Li and said in a deep voice, "You bullied my younger brother and sister?"
Aunt Li had nowhere to retreat, and Shen Jiahao was half a head taller than her, creating a strong sense of oppression.
But she still wouldn't let go of the rice in her arms. Her eyes darted around, and she stammered, "What do you want to do? Let me tell you, this is my family's rice. Are you trying to steal my family's rice?"
Lili stood with her hands on her hips, extremely angry: "You're lying! This is clearly our family's rice! And you even kicked my brother and left him bruised!"
Shen Jialuo immediately lifted her clothes and burst into tears: "Waaah... Big brother, she kicked me so hard! I feel like my stomach is ripped open!"
Shen Jiahao used brute force to snatch the large stack of rice. In the struggle, Aunt Li was no match for the incredibly strong Shen Jiahao and almost fell over again.
Shen Jiahao was a junior, so he couldn't lay a hand on Aunt Li.
But she actually dared to bully his younger brother and sister. He just saw it clearly: Aunt Li was trying to kick Lili!
If Lili hadn't reacted quickly, the two of them would probably have fallen into the river.
Shen Jiahao had disliked her for a long time. He didn't care about elders or juniors now. All he knew was that this person had just bullied his younger brother and sister!
Shen Jiahao swiftly kicked out, and Aunt Li cried out in surprise, staggering back two or three meters before falling hard on her bottom.
"Ouch! My bottom!" Aunt Li cried out in pain, tears streaming down her face. She had been treated like this by a child!
Aunt Li clutched her buttocks and groaned in pain. Unable to stand up, she cursed, "You little brat, how dare you kick me? I'm your elder, even your grandma gives me a wide berth! Do you believe I'll tell the village chief?!"
Shen Jiahao snorted coldly: "You really think everyone in the village is afraid of you? They just think you're a clown and don't want to get involved! Didn't you want to bully my younger brother and sister when no one was around? Now no one saw who kicked you. Do you think anyone will believe what you say now?"
Aunt Li choked, panting with anger: "You!"
Shen Jiahao ignored them, put the rice by the roadside, jumped down from the field, and pulled the two people over to look them up and down.
Fortunately, Lili dodged quickly and, apart from getting her clothes a little dirty when she fell into the field, she wasn't injured at all.
Shen Jialuo's bruise looked terrible, but after Lili rubbed it a couple of times, he felt almost no pain.
Shen Jiahao said with a stern face, "That's really awful. I'll definitely have a good talk with Grandma when I get back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of footsteps and several familiar voices seemed to echo across the open field.
Lili's eyes lit up, and she tugged at Shen Jiahao: "Big brother, it's Grandma and the others who have arrived."
Shen Jiahao looked down at the sly glint in the little boy's eyes and silently lit a candle for Aunt Li.
When the Shen family arrived with two oil lamps, they first saw the rice scattered haphazardly on the ground. Then, they saw Shen Jialuo in the field, clutching her stomach and crying uncontrollably: "Waaaaah, Lili... Sister, sister, I want my sister!!"
Beside her, Shen Jiahao was frantically pressing on Lili's chest, muttering, "Lili, wake up, Lili!"
The boys immediately jumped down, each more flustered than the last, and asked, "Big brother, what happened?"
The Shen family was also terrified. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that Lili's hair was wet and plastered to her face, as if she had fallen into the water.
Shen Jialuo burst into tears, sobbing, pointing at Aunt Li over there: "Waaaaah... When Lili and I came over, we saw her stealing our rice. Then I tried to stop her, and she kicked me into the field. My stomach was bruised. Lili came to help me up, but I never expected that she would kick Lili into the stream, waaaaah..."
Aunt Li: "...?"
"What!"
Neither Yang nor Shen Laosan paid any attention to Aunt Li over there. They only heard that Lili had fallen into the water. Could it be that Lili had drowned and fainted?
Yang called out to Lili several times, but there was no response. She was on the verge of collapse and turned to glare at Aunt Li: "Why did you hit a child so hard! Huh? Why!"
Shen Laosan came over and hugged her: "Wanniang, let's save Lili first."
"Yes, yes, saving the child is the priority!" Old Mrs. Shen urged Shen Lao Er, "Quickly, go and fetch Doctor Sikong!"
"Why!"
Shen Lao Er went there immediately.
While the adults were distracted, Lili, who had kept her eyes tightly closed, quietly opened them a crack.
The children surrounding Lili were taken aback.
What's going on?
When Shen Jiaqing saw that her younger sister had woken up, she was about to call the adults over to check on her when Shen Jiahao quickly covered her mouth.
Shen Jiaqing looked at Shen Jiahao blankly.
Shen Jialu and Shen Jiawen were confused for a second, but quickly reacted. One of them quickly moved to block the view behind them, while the other ran off with Shen Lao Er, saying, "I'll go with Dad!"
Yang and Shen Laosan walked over again. Shen Jiahao whispered a "shh," released Shen Jiaqing, and rushed to Lili: "Lili, Lili, wake up! Don't scare your big brother!"
Lili had already closed her eyes again, her lips were white, and her face was pale, which frightened Yang Shi.
Her body was cold after falling into the water, and fearing that something might happen to Lili, Yang hugged her tightly to warm her up.
Yang's movements froze for a moment as she touched Lili's body.
Is Pear's body warm?
And these clothes, look how wet they are. But when you touch them closely, it seems like only the outer layer has been splashed with water, and the inside doesn't seem to be soaked at all.
Yang was puzzled, her brows furrowed slightly, and she glanced sideways at Aunt Li over there.
Hmm... something feels off.
