Erniu was clearly terrified; his whole body was trembling, and he instinctively tried to hide next to his brother.
Across from them, Sun Xiang was waiting in line with a basin. Seeing this, she quickly agreed.
"Ming, my home is nearby. I'll go back to the water area. Don't worry,"
As he spoke, he turned around and shoved the basin into the hands of the person behind him.
"Here you go, I'll be right back."
As she was about to run away, the person behind her grabbed her and shoved both basins into her hands.
"You wait here. My house isn't closer than yours. I'll go back and fetch some water."
It's really close, only about ten meters away.
Soon, he returned carrying a large basin of water and a large bowl of soybean paste.
"Come wash it quickly, put some soybean paste on it first, it works well for burns, hurry up, don't leave a scar on the child's face,"
There is indeed a folk remedy in rural areas that involves applying soybean paste to the burned area to effectively prevent the injury from worsening.
It's not just in rural areas; even now, many people who get burned immediately go looking for soybean paste or soy sauce.
Sun Xiang was worried, so she handed the basin to someone nearby and came over to help.
"Sister-in-law, you're so thoughtful. I didn't even think of that."
"Ming, don't rush, try spreading some soybean paste on it,"
Because of her close relationship with Uncle Liu's family, Mingzhu became quite familiar with them. Compared to other educated youth, Sun Xiang treated Mingzhu much better.
"Don't worry, Tiger did the same thing when he got scalded by boiling water,"
Both of them were more experienced than Mingzhu and knew how to soothe children. As soon as they started, Mingzhu would quickly step aside to make room for them.
Seeing that his younger brother had someone to help him, Da Niu's agitation gradually subsided, and he turned to look at the field.
The crowd had quieted down. The pale-faced youth clutched his aching chest and stomach, his right hand hanging limply, his eyes gradually turning to fear.
"Sister, sister, save me, save me!"
The young wife felt helpless but couldn't ignore it. She was also a little annoyed that Jian Dan, who was clearly an unrelated person, was causing trouble for the villagers. It seemed like she couldn't distinguish between her own people and the villagers'.
But to be honest, she didn't have the guts to act like Jian Dan did with others. Just thinking about it made her picture Jian Dan wielding a big knife, fiercely hacking at a wild boar, and she couldn't muster any more enthusiasm for it.
Helpless, she could only pull the man forward, hoping to gain his favor and get this over with quickly.
“Jian Zhiqing, I’m so sorry, my brother is a bit of a troublemaker. He just acted on impulse. He thought these two kids were outsiders causing trouble, that’s why…”
As she spoke, she reached out and tugged hard at the man's sleeve. The man's face turned bright red. He had been honest his whole life and never argued with anyone, but since marrying this wife, he seemed to have to apologize much more often.
Normally, we can let the trivial matters slide, but in this situation, it's obvious that his brother-in-law wanted to bully someone, but he got backed up by Jian Zhiqing. What could he say?
Jian Dan didn't care about any of that. He kicked the man, followed by several more kicks. Seeing that the man was barely breathing, Liu Weimin finally stepped in with a dark face to maintain order.
"Little Jian, just let him suffer a little pain."
We're the victims now. What if they later claim you injured them and then try to extort money from us? We'd be in real trouble then.
A physical injury?
I almost laughed out loud; the village chief has become a black-hearted sesame paste filling too.
Those kicks, preventing him from staying in bed until spring, were all her fault.
However, following her words, he slowly took a few steps back.
She wasn't directly involved; she could vent their anger, but she couldn't actually cause them any trouble.
Besides, the two brothers are newcomers and so young, and they will have to live here in the future. She just wanted to take this opportunity to let others know that they also have powerful backers.
Furthermore, this is also an opportunity to show weakness and gain the villagers' empathy.
"Alright, village chief, I'll listen to you. Otherwise, I'll definitely kick him a few more times for daring to come to Liujiatun and bully our village's educated youth."
This is not only disregarding you and Liujiatun, but also a huge waste of food and the hard work of our entire village.
Moreover, this is blatant bullying of the descendants of martyrs.
What?
Apart from a few insiders, everyone else was shocked that these two children were descendants of martyrs.
Seeing the pale-faced young man and his sister on the ground, Liu Weimin immediately turned pale and gave a cold snort.
"Now you know fear?"
It's too late!
Tiezhu's wife, I don't care if you're thinking about your family, but did I ever say you shouldn't affect the lives of the villagers?
How come I didn't know your family was so domineering in Chengjiabaozi?
"I'll ask Old Cheng tomorrow, is your Cheng family really so rich and powerful that you just throw money around like this whenever things don't go your way?"
"No, village chief, my brother was craving meat, that's why I called him over. I didn't want to take advantage of the village; I was planning to give him my share."
Liu Weimin snorted again.
"That's your family's business. Even if you put Tiezhu's, the children's, and even your parents' into your brother's stomach, I won't care."
But I need an explanation for what happened today.
Regardless of who they are, causing trouble in Liujiatun is wrong.
As Xiao Jian just said, and I'm telling you now, everything she said is true.
The brothers Sun Daniu and Sun Erniu are indeed descendants of martyrs. Their father served in the predecessor of the garrison troops in our commune and was a combat hero who made outstanding contributions to the cause of the liberation of the country. He is worthy of our respect.
