The old woman was about to hit Fang Qing, so Fang Qing grabbed a pancake from the kitchen and ran out of the house in a flash.
She ran all the way to the wasteland at the foot of the mountain, and Xiaodou's notification sound appeared.
[Congratulations, little master! Your mission is complete! You will be rewarded with five points and an additional ten days of lifespan. Please check your account.]
Fang Qing turned on the light screen and saw that the score was 5 at the top and 19 on a small human icon next to it.
After checking all that, she casually spent one point to open the in-game store.
Just as Xiaodou said, the mall has everything.
Fang Qing searched for weed control and surprisingly discovered a magical medicine that could not only remove growing plants but also corrode their roots and stems.
Most importantly, it does not pollute the environment at all.
The place was deserted, and there wasn't a soul in sight all day. Fang Qing immediately spent 3 points to redeem a bottle of magic medicine and another 1 point to rent a sprayer.
After diluting one bottle of medicine, I sprayed it on two acres of land, and I was exhausted.
We'll have to wait until tomorrow to see the results.
After returning the sprayer to the system, Fang Qing went home.
This work was so physically demanding that I fell asleep the moment my head hit the pillow.
She was still asleep the next morning when she was woken up by the noise outside.
It was just beginning to get light outside.
She was just about to get out of bed to check what was happening outside when the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Fang Daniu walked in.
Fang Daniu is Douya's father. Because of his burly physique, he often went hunting in the deep mountains with a few other people, sometimes for three or four days at a time. Today was the day he was going home.
At this moment, Fang Daniu looked at Fang Qing with a stern face.
"Bean Sprout, what's wrong with you? Have I spoiled you too much? How dare you team up with outsiders to bully your grandma? Look at how badly they beat her!"
Fang Qing paused for a moment, her expression suddenly turning cold.
"Da Niu, don't blame Douya, this has nothing to do with her..."
Zhao wanted to speak up for Fang Qing, but Fang Daniu pushed her away and took his anger out on her.
“You’re still protecting her, and you too. When others hit your mother, you just stand by and watch, right? And your mother even spoke up for you.”
Zhao's aggrieved eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Fang Qing frowned.
"Father, you came to scold me without even asking why..."
"What reason do you need? You just need to be taught a lesson. Your grandma has worked so hard for this family. Besides, the village chief has been good to our family. How dare you spread rumors about your grandma and the village chief? Now look what's happened. Your grandma has lost her reputation, and our family has offended the village chief too. How come I never realized you liked to stir up trouble so much?"
“What good will it do you to ruin our family’s reputation? You should apologize to your grandmother right now, and then come with me to the village chief’s house to apologize.”
"What if I don't?" Fang Qing said.
"What?" Fang Daniu's eyes widened even more. "I think you've gone too far! Let's see how I deal with you today!"
As he spoke, he casually picked up the broom at the foot of the bed, but Zhao quickly stopped him.
"You didn't even ask what happened, you just listened to Mother's side of the story and blamed Bean Sprout. What did she do wrong..."
"You're still protecting her? Tell me, did you instigate her to slander Mother? Just because Mother is a bit strict with you, you don't have to hold a grudge against her."
"How could you think of me like that?" Zhao looked at him in disbelief.
Fang Daniu felt a little insecure when he met her gaze.
"My mother was beaten so badly..."
"Enough!"
Fang Qing grabbed a pillow and threw it out.
The pillow hit Fang Daniu's leg and then rolled to the ground.
"You child..."
"I originally thought that when Dad came back, he could support Mom and me. But now it seems that Dad is a very filial son, but he is not a reliable person for Mom and me!"
The room was somewhat dark, and Fang Daniu couldn't see Douya's face clearly, but he was stunned for a moment by her tone and words.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm going to tell you about how you slandered your grandma."
"How is this slander? Could it be that my grandmother wanted to sell my mother and me to the slave trader, which is a lie? Or that I made up the story that my grandmother and the slave trader went into the grove? Everyone in the courtyard was there that day, and the slave trader explained everything clearly. If you don't believe me, Father, you can ask the neighbors, or you can go to the county government office yourself to hear what the slave trader has to say."
Despite his childish voice, he spoke clearly, leaving Fang Daniu momentarily confused.
"What do you mean by all this? How does this involve human traffickers? Who wants to sell you?"
"My grandma."
Fang Daniu hesitated for a moment, then his gaze fell on Zhao Shi.
"What's the meaning?"
Zhao wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
“My mother has always had a problem with me. The day before yesterday, my sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter, and my mother vented all her anger on me, saying that Douya and I were jinxes and that she would kick us out of the house.”
“I thought Mother was just upset with me because I didn’t give you a son, but Douya forced herself to come out and tell me the reason. It turns out that Mother had made an agreement with two slave traders from other places a couple of days ago to sell Douya and me to another place…”
Upon hearing this, Fang Daniu interrupted Zhao.
"Nonsense, how could your mother... how could she possibly sell you and your daughter?"
Zhao's eyes reddened again, and she said, "How could I dare to lie about such a thing? At that time, Douya overheard Mother's conversation with those two slave traders. When Mother came home, she beat Douya. Douya was hit on the head and lay in bed for two days without eating or drinking. She almost died."
Tears streamed down Zhao's face; the thought of the torment she had endured these past two days made her feel terrible.
Seeing his wife's tears, Fang Daniu felt a little numb.
