"Impossible! My sister was just here! The guy who hit me is rich. She must have asked him for money herself, refused to give it to us, and ran away!" Gao Jiewei grabbed his mother and shouted.
He overheard the older boy saying that his pants were very valuable, and that his sister must have kept all the money for herself and didn't want him to use it!
"What! Xue'er swallowed all the money by herself!" Gao's mother's shrill voice rang out, her anger rising. She brandished the rolling pin and walked back, shouting as she went, "That brat, she actually dared to take all the money by herself! Just wait until I get back, I'll teach her a lesson!"
"Yes, yes, my sister won't buy me candy, and she won't let me spend my allowance. Mom, you'd better give my sister a good scolding when we get back!" Gao Jiewei, always eager to stir up trouble, actively fanned the flames from the sidelines.
"Old Chen, what are you doing? Is the food in the pot ready yet? Why are you going outside to look? What's out there? It's so noisy so early in the morning!" The breakfast shop owner wiped her flour-covered hands and went outside.
When the breakfast shop owner heard his wife calling him, he quickly came to his senses and went into the shop.
"It's nothing, nothing. It's just that woman from the Gao family, with her son, cursing people outside!"
"It's always the Gao family again! They cause trouble every other day, it's so annoying!"
"Who knows? Judging from the looks of it, that girl from the Gao family is probably going to get beaten up again!"
"It's good that she got a beating. That girl is so young and she's already doing bad things. Last time she even came to my field and stole my melons. I caught her, but she wouldn't admit it!"
"Is that so?" "Of course, that girl's hands aren't clean..."
...
"You two must have circled the village, and you're only just getting back now. If you had come any later, I would have starved to death!" Tang Zhizhou lay on a recliner in the courtyard, looking as if his body had been completely drained.
Next to him, in the same state, lay an old lady named Ding.
Lu Ziyin placed the breakfast she was holding on the small wooden table in the yard, walked over to the recliner, kicked Tang Zhizhou, and laughed and scolded, "How come you're not lazy to death!"
"Hurry up, get up and prepare breakfast. I'm going inside to change my clothes."
Tang Zhizhou stood up with a smile, patted Lu Ziyin on the shoulder, and said, "Alright, you go inside and change your clothes, I'll serve you some food!"
Ding Kemeng watched the two bickering, smiled helplessly, covered her arm, and turned to go inside.
Grandma Ding couldn't quite understand what the two were saying, but that didn't stop her from seeing that they had a good relationship. "Alright, alright, you two stop fooling around. Yinyin, go change your clothes first. Grandma will help Xiaozhou make breakfast."
"Hehe, thank you, Grandma! Grandma is so kind!"
Lu Ziyin and Ding Kemeng entered the house. Lu Ziyin didn't rush to change his clothes. He first went to find disinfectant and treated Ding Kemeng's wound. Only after he finished treating Ding Kemeng's wound did he go to the bedroom to quickly change into new pants and clothes.
After the four of them finished eating breakfast outside, Lu Ziyin took the initiative to throw away the trash. When they returned, Grandma Ding was instructing Tang Zhizhou to put on his long boots, preparing to go up the mountain to pick fruit to eat later.
Ding Kemeng didn't really want to go; it was too hot outside, and she wanted to stay home and do some homework. But she couldn't resist Tang Zhizhou's nagging, so she had no choice but to agree.
After they were ready, they went out together.
Grandma Ding is too old to go out with a group of children on such a hot day. She just watches them go out, then prepares to close the door and go back inside to rest for a while.
Just then, someone suddenly entered the courtyard.
"Grandma Ding, where are you? Come out here!"
The woman's voice was high-pitched and thin, spreading throughout the courtyard and making a terrible racket!
Grandma Ding had already taken off her shoes, but now she had to put them back on as she slowly walked out.
Standing in the courtyard was Gao's daughter-in-law. When Grandma Ding saw her, her face turned pale: "Gao's daughter-in-law, what brings you here?" Gao's daughter-in-law had a notoriously bad reputation in the village, and any family she set her sights on would almost always suffer a great loss.
Grandma Ding thought back on what she had done recently and realized that she didn't seem to have offended the Gao family's daughter-in-law in any way!
Liu Cui stood in the courtyard with her hands on her hips. When she saw Grandma Ding come out, she sneered and said, "Grandma Ding, I, Liu Cui, am not an unreasonable person, but you must give me an explanation today!"
Give me an explanation! What explanation? "Liu Cui, you need to explain yourself clearly. What explanation do I want from you?" Although Grandma Ding was old, she was not weak-willed and would not be bullied.
"Grandma Ding, how dare you say that? Your own granddaughter has learned to seduce men at such a young age, and now she's even bringing men home! Not only that, your granddaughter also instructed her boyfriend to beat up my son and daughter. I'm here as their mother to demand an explanation, so what!" Liu Cui was furious as she talked about this, spitting everywhere.
"Look at what you've done to my son and daughter! Your granddaughter's boyfriend beat them up like this! My poor darlings, they didn't do anything wrong, and they got beaten up!" With that, Liu Cui sat down in the yard and started wailing. Gao Jiewei stood behind Liu Cui, looking at the things in the yard with envy and longing in his eyes.
His family doesn't have such a big yard. This Grandma Ding's family must be really rich!
Grandma Ding's head was throbbing from Liu Cui's loud voice. "Liu Cui, you need to provide evidence. Who knows if your son and daughter were actually beaten by our Yingying? Besides, everyone in the village knows my precious Mengmeng's personality. How could she possibly instigate someone to beat someone!"
Seeing Grandma Ding's rebuttal, Liu Cui wasn't about to let her have her way. She raised her voice even higher and shouted, "Oh my god! Everyone come quick! Grandma Ding's granddaughter is seducing men at such a young age! She even hit someone! I've already come to her door, but they still won't admit it! Everyone come quick!"
Liu Cui's voice was so loud that she didn't need to shout much. Before long, Ding's neighbors heard the noise and came over.
As more people gathered in the courtyard, they watched Liu Cui throwing a tantrum on the ground with curious expressions. Some of them, who were on good terms with Grandma Ding, even went up to her and asked, "Grandma Ding, what's wrong? What did you do to offend Gao's wife?" This Gao's wife was very unruly, and the villagers didn't usually like to associate with her.
Grandma Ding waved her hand, looked at Liu Cui, and said in a less than pleasant tone, "Liu Cui, stop wailing here and making everyone look bad. You need to provide evidence when you speak. I know what kind of person my granddaughter is! But you, a grown woman, are spreading rumors about a child. Have you no shame?"
"Have any shame? My son and daughter have been beaten like this by your granddaughter, what do I have to do with shame! Today I'm throwing away all shame, if you don't give me an explanation, you won't have a good life!" Liu Cui's face was contorted with rage. After shouting, she started wiping away tears again, looked at the people around her, and said, "Look at this, that old bastard from the Ding family, even after all this, she's still protecting her shameless granddaughter! Everyone, please be the judge, this is outrageous!"
