The third and fourth children of the Wu family are already able to work in the fields, but Shen Mingxi is not familiar with them.

Speaking of which, those two girls were too cunning when they were working, and most people didn't want to be with them.

Although their situation is pitiful, everyone dislikes them because they always take advantage of others and scheme against others.

Not surprisingly, when the Wu family's aunt saw Wu Xiaoliu, she happened to be holding a feather duster in her hand, so she slapped Wu Xiaoliu on the head, cursing fiercely, "You money-loser, you troublemaker, why did you just come back? Where have you been? Did you go out to be lazy? I'll beat you to death, you useless bastard."

Shen Mingxi, who was following behind, became anxious and stepped forward to stop them. Feng Anchen frowned and pulled Shen Mingxi over to block in front of her. He complained in his heart, "What a small figure! She wanted to go up and stop the fight. The feather duster was about to hit her."

Without seeing clearly what Feng Anchen did, he snatched the feather duster and threw Mrs. Wu aside with a casual flick of his hand.

Shen Mingxi pulled Xiaoliu over, and then saw Xiaoliu's three sisters standing at the door under the dim light.

There was indifference and gloating in his eyes.

Wu Xiaoliu's younger brother clapped his hands and laughed.

They won't step forward to stop it.

If they stepped forward to stop them, they would also be beaten and scolded. And with Xiaoliu standing in front, their lives would be much easier.

Shen Mingxi only felt a chill in his heart.

Blood ties are very important in this world, but sometimes, they can be terrifyingly cold.

Shen Mingxi gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and then stepped forward and said with a smile, "Auntie, don't get angry first. This is what happened. My brother, Anchen and I were collecting firewood on the mountain, and we happened to find Xiaoliu fell into a pit, so we wasted time."

"You damn girl, nothing good ever happens to you when you go out. You fell into a pit and you must have fallen to death." Aunt Wu cursed viciously.

Shen Mingxi suppressed his anger and looked at Wu Xiaoliu, who lowered his head, hunched his shoulders, and looked like he was waiting to be beaten. He said in a low voice, "Auntie, you also know that I have been earning full work points in the past few years, right?"

The capable Shen Mingxi has always been liked by these aunts and grandmas in Kaoshantun.

After all, even if they have the reputation of being a jinx, Xiaoxi obviously can't influence them.

What's more, the hat has been taken off now.

Didn’t you see that since they left the group of people in the old house of Shen’s family, the life of Shen Yu’s family has been really eye-catching. Five large green tiled houses were built in an instant. Although it can be said to be a coincidence, it may be because they met a noble person and got help from someone, but it is also a kind of luck.

Not to mention, the lucky star had just fallen into a manure pit and was now rushed to the hospital. These women all said privately that they had all been deceived by Old Lady Shen.

Shen Mingxi is the real lucky star.

She didn't want to offend the so-called lucky star. What if she got into trouble? Aunt Wu couldn't help but look at Feng Anchen again. She knew that this noble young man from the capital was now living in the Shen family.

His violent and ferocious expression softened a lot, and he even smiled a little, "Xiaoxi, you are capable. Everyone in Kaoshan Village knows that."

She turned around and glared at her three daughters fiercely, saying that the three of them combined were not as capable as Xiaoxi.

"Auntie, I think Xiaoliu is smart and can work. She will definitely be as good as me in the future. You can't talk to her like that. If something happens to her, how can she honor you when she grows up?

Auntie, think about it carefully. Your house now, as well as Xiaobao's candy and meat, are almost half given to you by your daughters. I think Xiaoliu is similar to me when I was a child, and he will definitely be more capable than me in the future..."

Aunt Wu looked at Shen Mingxi with half belief and half doubt.

Feng Anchen was a little impatient and said directly, "Although this little girl is your daughter, if you really beat her to death, you will also be sentenced. Don't think I am trying to scare you. I have seen many such examples. Some were directly raped..."

Aunt Wu visibly shrank her shoulders. Speaking of it, the people of Kaoshantun have always been fawning on Feng Anchen and Li Qing with a touch of respect, as if they represented everything in the capital, as if if they got to know them and talked to them a few more words, they would be able to see the holy land in their minds.

Because some of them have never even left Kaoshan Village in their entire life.

Aunt Wu naturally didn't dare to refute, and she didn't know whether Xiaoliu had heard it or not. She pointed at Xiaoliu and said viciously, "What are you doing standing there at the door? Move the firewood into the woodshed. If you're late, you won't have anything to eat."

Wu Xiaoliu felt as if he had been pardoned, and hurriedly carried firewood to the thatched house next door.

At the door of the thatched house, he turned around and glanced at Shen Mingxi.

That glance was filled with gratitude and a hint of warm water.

Shen Mingxi smiled at the people in the yard, then turned and left.

Feng Anchen followed.

Shen Mingxi was silent along the way. Feng Anchen felt the atmosphere was depressing and tried to make small talk. "This little girl is quite pitiful. If you hadn't happened to hear her today, she would have died."

Shen Mingxi remained silent.

Feng Anchen scratched the back of his head, "Xiaoxi, why didn't you tell Aunt Wu the truth?"

Shen Mingxi tilted his head and looked at Feng Anchen, curling his lips, "What do you guess?"

Seeing Shen Mingxi finally talking to him, and with such a charming look in her eyes, Feng Anchen felt as if countless stars were lighting up all around him. He said quickly, "I guess, Xiaoxi, you don't want the Wu family's madam to vent her anger on Xiaoliu and hang herself. After all, that's not a good thing."

"Yes, Aunt Wu is not a loving mother. She only cares about her son and not her daughter. If Xiaoliu didn't hang herself to death, she might have beaten her to death."

Shen Mingxi sighed and continued, "In this world, not every mother loves her own child."

Suddenly, Shen Mingxi felt something was wrong.

My heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

She stopped because Feng Anchen had stopped. She turned her head and looked at Feng Anchen who was hiding in the night.

The young man was so tall that even the dark night could not hide him.

The dark eyes blended into the surrounding night as if splashed with ink.

But the flickering light inside told Shen Mingxi that Feng Anchen was not emotionally stable at the moment.

Recently, whenever Shen Mingxi saw Feng Anchen, the corners of his mouth would always curl up involuntarily.

But now it was pursed into a cold straight line.

The chill around him was like a frozen glacier.

Shen Mingxi suddenly remembered that Feng Anchen's mother was not a kind mother. Although she didn't beat or scold him, she was actually no different from Aunt Wu.

It's just the other way around.
