Suddenly, Ah Long's mind became incredibly clear.
"who I am?"
"Where did you come from?"
"Where are we going..."
Three profound self-questions drove Ah Long mad!
He filled a bucket with crushed ice, rushed out, and without even taking the front door, jumped over the wall and ran away.
Ah Long ran all the way, running was already his forte, and the distance from the capital to the small village in the southern suburbs was nothing.
Ah Long ran back to the village; it was already completely dark in early winter.
Just then, Yam Girl also returned home.
She was very uneasy. After finishing planting the fields today, she went to the stream and found that the fish sieve and fish basket were gone. Someone must have found fish in the sieve and left nothing behind, sieve and basket.
This guy got away with stealing the fish, but how is Yam Girl going to explain this when she gets back? What awaits her next?
Sure enough, soon the courtyard was filled with curses.
"I told you to plant wheat, and it's been two days and you still haven't finished. Where have you been running off to?"
"I didn't slack off. The ground was too dry, so I had to plow it before sowing."
The burly man wouldn't listen to her explanation and slapped her across the face.
The pregnant woman also stood with her hands on her back and cursed.
"You little slut, I told you to catch fish, why didn't you catch any today? You heartless bastard, you can't stand the baby in my belly. Don't forget, this baby will be your ancestor once it's born!"
Yam Girl's two younger brothers came out of the house and fanned the flames.
"Father, Mother, we don't care, we must eat fish today."
Their grandmother was heartbroken.
They eat fish every day, and suddenly there's none left. Won't her two precious grandchildren go hungry? Plus the one in her daughter-in-law's belly.
The old woman pounced over, grabbed the girl by the hair, and started hitting her.
"You good-for-nothing! I told you to catch fish and you came back empty-handed! How dare you come back?"
"Are you trying to win over some random guy with those fish?"
Yam Girl was powerless to fight back and was knocked to the ground, unable to get up.
"Grandma, please stop hitting her! Please stop hitting her! Yam Girl was wrong. She'll definitely catch some fish tomorrow."
The old woman wasn't satisfied yet; she grabbed Yam Girl and wanted to beat her again.
"stop!"
The people in the courtyard were startled by the shout. They saw a young man at the gate carrying a wooden bucket, his bloodshot eyes glaring at them.
Isn't this the newcomer next door?
"Hey, I knew it! You good-for-nothing, your lover brought the fish back?"
Yam Girl, unable to bear it any longer, shouted, "You're not allowed to insult Brother Long!"
"Hey! So what if you cursed me? I'll beat you to death in front of him first."
The old woman kicked the yam girl again, and Ah Long rushed over with a wooden bucket.
"I told you to stop! You're about to regret this!"
The old woman was so frightened by Ah Long's fierceness that she fell on her bottom. She saw Ah Long lift the wooden bucket high and she quickly covered her head.
"Splash!"
A bucket of ice water was poured over Yam Girl from head to toe.
Everyone stared in shock.
Wasn't this guy here to support Yam Girl? Why is he...?
Yam Girl was met with a bucket of ice water, which made her shiver.
The entire courtyard was completely silent.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Yam Girl suddenly turned her back to everyone and got up.
She stood up straight, and she realized: I am Ye Xiaoxi, and anyone who bullies me must die!
