While their actions couldn't completely prevent those with ulterior motives from plotting against them, they significantly reduced the number of people with such intentions.
"Oh dear! Chao Dong! What's wrong with you?"
When Liu opened the door, she saw three shiny, blood-stained pig heads. In her excitement, she didn't even notice when she called out her husband's name.
Liu hurriedly went up the mountain to help her husband up, and then shouted "Mother!"
"Mother! Come quick! Something's happened to Chaodong and the others!"
That shout was really loud. It's just a good thing there's no farm work now and no one's on the mountain, otherwise, it would definitely have attracted the whole village.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Yue Jiuyue was so anxious that she lost her shoes while running, and Xiaoman'er followed behind, calling out:
"Grandma! Grandma! Your shoe fell off!"
At this moment, Yue Jiuyue didn't care about her shoes anymore. Before she even stepped out of the main room, she saw her three sons with their heads swollen like pigs.
"Oh dear! How did you get beaten up like this? Have you seen a doctor? If not, Mother will go to town to call a doctor right now!"
"Mom, we're fine, the stove is fine, it's just that the sweet potatoes are gone, and the money is gone too."
The three men, their heads swollen and bruised so badly they could barely open their eyes, their mouths swollen like sausages and their speech unclear, still hung their heads in guilt for failing to protect today's profits.
"Hey! What time is it and you're still worrying about money? Money is nothing compared to life! I'm asking you a question: have you seen a doctor yet? If not, I'll go and fetch one right now!"
Yue Jiuyue was so anxious that she wished she could speak for them.
This was the first time she had faced such a situation. Even when she was bullied before, it was just minor mishaps, like getting a broken nose. She had never seen anything like this before, and she panicked immediately.
Liu was even more flustered than her, otherwise she wouldn't have blurted out the private nickname without even realizing it.
"Mother, there's no need to look at it, it will get better on its own in a couple of days."
None of the three cared.
"Alright, you all go back to your rooms and lie down. I'll go to town and call a doctor."
With that, Yue Jiuyue walked out.
"Mother, really, it's not necessary!"
"Grandma, your shoes!"
The four children and grandchildren all spoke up to stop them.
Yue Jiuyue turned around and took the shoes from Xiaoman'er's hand, saying "thank you" to her. Then, while putting on the shoes in a one-legged stance, she instructed Liu Shi:
"Little girl's mother, keep an eye on the three of them and don't let them run around. A head injury is no small matter. Some people can be seriously injured by a bump, and some can die. Whether it's serious or not, the doctor will decide. I'm off!"
This is also a way of explaining things to the three brothers, so they won't take it lightly; Liu Shi can't control them.
"Mother, I will definitely keep a close eye on the three of them!"
"Mother, I will definitely listen to you!"
"Mother, I will definitely listen to Man'er's mother!"
Liu and her three brothers assured her.
Yue Jiuyue ignored them, skipped around a few times to put on her shoes, said what she needed to say, and immediately turned and walked out of the village.
She had walked halfway down the road when she suddenly turned back.
"Mother, did you forget to bring your money?"
Hearing the commotion, Madam Liu came out to inquire.
"Um."
Yue Jiuyue hummed in agreement, went inside, then brought out her beloved balance bike, hopped on, and sped off into the distance.
Little Man: ?(??????)?
Her grandma looks so impressive! She wants to ride too...
