Yang Damei waited anxiously in the woods. Although she felt that Yun Duo would not lie to her, she herself was not entirely trusting and dared not completely believe that others were truly kind-hearted.
Perhaps Yun Duo sensed my murderous intent earlier, but since there was no one around, she figured a little girl like her wouldn't stand a chance against an adult like me, so she deliberately tried to trick me. Now that I'm back in the village, will she call people to arrest me?
Yang Damei wanted to leave, but she was reluctant to.
What if the clouds weren't just fooling themselves?
With the money, she can escape!
After much deliberation, Yang Damei still couldn't make up her mind, so she simply found a place to hide. She planned to come out if Yunduo came by herself, but if there were other people around, she would stay hidden.
However, Yang Damei did not expect that the people who came were Yunduo and Yunduo's "grandmother" - an old lady with bound feet.
A small child and an old lady with bound feet, I shouldn't be at a disadvantage against them, right?
Yang Damei thought to herself.
Yun Duo was unaware of Yang Da Mei's dilemma. After leading Yun Qi Shi to the woods, she looked around but couldn't find Yang Da Mei anywhere. She subconsciously scratched her head and muttered, "Where is she? I clearly told her to wait here, so why is she gone?"
Yun Qi looked around and asked Yun Duo. After confirming that she had indeed parted ways with Yang Da Mei here, she addressed the crowd: "Come out. I mean no harm. I just have a few questions for you, which is why I came with my Duo'er."
After Yun Qishi finished speaking, Yang Damei emerged from her hiding place with a wary expression, and cautiously walked to a short distance from Yun Qishi. She softly called out "Grandma Yun," then fell silent, lowering her head and appearing bewildered.
Seeing this, Yun Qi said, "Young lady of the Yang family, don't be afraid. I just have a few questions to ask you, not to make things difficult for you."
Yang Damei said, "I know Grandma Yun. I can tell just by looking at you that you are a kind-hearted person, just like Yun Duo. I'm not afraid. Ask me anything you want to ask, I'm listening."
Yun Duo instinctively disliked what Yang Da Mei said, but after thinking about it, she didn't interrupt.
Yun Qi said, "I'm not a kind person. It's just that our Duo'er is so young, yet she's willing to do good deeds and help others. As her grandmother, I'm naturally happy to oblige. However, as I just said, our Duo'er is young and doesn't know how to distinguish right from wrong. She doesn't think things through completely. I'm worried that she might be deceived, and I'm also worried that she might do something bad with good intentions. That's why I had her bring me here to find you."
"I won't beat around the bush with some things."
"I'll just ask you this: do you want to go to the big city to try your luck and make a living, or did you just have this idea because you heard Duo'er's innocent words?"
Yang Damei understood the meaning behind Yun Qi's words and knew that she was protecting Yun Duo, so she couldn't help but feel a little jealous. However, despite her jealousy, she didn't dare to show it at all. Instead, she put on a frightened look and said, "It was my own idea. I didn't dare to think about it before. The big city is so far away. I have no money, and if I just walk, I don't know how long it would take. It was Yun Duo who said she could help me, and that gave me hope again."
