Ye Linxing grabbed her hand nonchalantly without even turning his head.
"We're getting married soon, so just hold hands."
This made so much sense that Jian Yuelan was speechless.
The afterglow of the setting sun spread across the sky, and the calm sea was painted with more brilliant colors by the afterglow.
Flocks of seagulls are circling in the sky.
Looking at Jian Yuelan who was bending over to pick up clams beside him, Ye Linxing felt particularly calm.
"Zhizhi, would you like some coconut milk?"
He asked, his eyes falling on the coconut tree not far away.
Jian Yuelan hesitated for a moment, "Do you want to pick them or should I?"
The man looked at her, and Jian Yuelan sighed, resigned herself to her fate, rolled up her sleeves, and walked towards the coconut tree.
"Wait, I'll pick a few for you."
As she spoke, she arrived in front of the coconut tree.
Looking up, she saw many fruits hanging on the tall coconut trees. She clenched her fist and looked at Ye Linxing, "Stay away, or they will fall and hit you."
The man stepped back obediently, raising an eyebrow to signal her that she could begin.
"Dog man."
Jian Yuelan muttered something, raised her little fist and punched the tree trunk twice.
With the sound of thumping, several almost ripe coconuts broke away from their stems and fell from the sky.
"That's enough."
Seeing that she was about to hit him with her fist again, Ye Linxing spoke out to stop her.
Jian Yuelan said "oh" and picked up coconuts with him and put them under the tree. "Will anyone see us and take them?!"
"No······"
"Auntie, can you give me a coconut?"
A weak female voice with a heavy accent suddenly came.
Jian Yuelan and Ye Linxing looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little girl with messy hair like a chicken coop and a dirty face emerging from behind the reef.
She looked at them timidly.
The little girl was barefoot, and her clothes were patched and didn't fit her well, revealing her thin calves and arms, which were covered with blue and purple marks piled up on top of each other, obviously caused by being beaten with bamboo sticks.
Seeing the marks on her body, Ye Linxing's expression became serious.
"What's wrong with you?"
The little girl took two steps back in fear. She ignored him and mustered up the courage to point at the coconut, saying cautiously, "Auntie, I'm hungry."
Jian Yuelan was feeling very complicated at this moment.
This kid is from the Yang family, her name is Yang Zhaodi.
She is also the vicious female supporting character in the original text who makes people hate her so much.
Her life was even more difficult than Huang Yang's.
At least Huang Yang had a rough first half of his life, but a bright second half.
Yang Zhaodi is different. Her life is full of darkness.
Mrs. Yang is a severe patient of favoring boys over girls. She gave birth to five children in order to have a son.
Yang Zhaodi is the eldest, with three younger sisters named Daidi and a younger brother Yang Bao.
The Yang family was poor and burdened with heavy expenses, and they simply could not afford to raise so many children.
Mrs. Yang abandoned all her daughters except Zhaodi and gave them away.
Only Yang Zhaodi, the eldest sister who could work and take care of her younger brother, was left.
Yang Zhaodi was abused by her mother since she was a child. When she grew up, she fell in love with Yu Guodong, the future big boss.
After his confession was rejected, he became mentally distorted and went south to work. After being cheated and sold, he became a human trafficker.
She abducted as many as eighty-seven women and children, and was arrested when she abducted the 88th person.
After trial, she was sentenced to death because the circumstances were particularly serious, ending her miserable and sinful life at the age of 43.
But now, she is not a vicious female supporting role, but a poor little girl.
Looking at the little girl's timid eyes filled with anticipation, and thinking of the more than 80 people who would be abducted by her in the future, Jian Yuelan told herself to find a way to change things for once.
It's not easy for women to survive in this world, so every bit of help counts.
Helping Yang Zhaodi alone saved 87 families, so she didn't lose out.
Thinking of this, she opened a coconut with her bare hands and handed it to him, "Drink it."
"Thank you, Auntie."
The starving Yang Zhaodi thanked him politely, then took the coconut Ton Ton almost snatching it and started drinking it.
She drank quickly and sharply, then choked.
The cough was heart-wrenching.
"Slow down."
The child was really too thin, and Jian Yuelan didn't dare to pat her to help her relieve the pain, for fear of breaking her spine.
"Slow down, slow down. No one's trying to snatch it from you. One isn't enough, there are more. Drink slowly."
Yang Zhaodi smiled shyly, and continued to drink like a puppy guarding its food with a fierce attitude.
"Did you bring any food?"
Jian Yuelan breathed a sigh of relief and poked Ye Linxing with her finger.
He dug into his pocket and pulled out a box of matches, "This is all I brought."
"Coconut water isn't enough to fill her up. We need to give her something to eat."
She looked around and said to Ye Linxing, "Can you go find some dead branches in the front? I'll go find some seafood behind the reef and grill it for her."
"No need, Auntie. I'm full."
Yang Zhaodi quickly tried to stop her, but Jian Yuelan patted her head and said, "Water won't fill your stomach. Listen to your aunt and wait here. We'll get you something to eat."
As she spoke, she stood up and glanced at Ye Linxing.
"be safe."
Ye Linxing warned her and patted her head, "Don't run around. Wait for us here and we'll be back soon."
Yang Zhaodi looked at him and found that although this uncle looked fierce, his eyes were warm when he looked at her.
In an instant, her eyes turned red and she said yes with a sob.
Ye Linxing looked at her deeply and turned to look for firewood.
Jian Yuelan, on the other hand, took a bucket and went to the reef to find food.
"Uncle and aunt are good people." Yang Zhaodi wiped the tears from her face and showed a bright smile.
A very good person, better than her parents.
Jian Yuelan walked onto the wet and slippery rocks and reached her destination as if she were walking on flat ground.
