"You two brats, get out of my way!" Madam Fan and Madam Lin each grabbed one of them and pulled Er Ya and San Ya apart.
Er Ya and San Ya struggled desperately to protect the things in the room.
"Sister-in-law, Daya, you two hold these two brats back, I'll pick the lock!"
“Okay!” Lin Niu Shi held Er Ya tightly, while Daya held San Ya tightly.
Fan picked up a stone from outside and smashed the lock with all her might.
Er Ya and San Ya burst into tears and struggled desperately. Lin Niu Shi was also annoyed and pinched Er Ya hard twice: "Don't move! Don't cry or scream! Or I'll spank your bottoms!"
Er Ya was in pain and scared, and cried loudly.
Lin Daya was still a child and not strong enough, so Sanya finally broke free.
Sanya cried and screamed for help as she ran outside in search of rescue.
Madam Fan and Madam Lin were terrified. They were relatives of the top scholar, and if word got out that this had happened, they would be ruined.
Fan threw down the stone in her hand, rushed out, and dragged Sanya back into the courtyard.
Lin Fengtian, who lived next door, had heard the children crying in Yang Cui's house for a long time, but he didn't pay attention until he heard Sanya's cries for help. He came out to see what was happening and found Sanya crying miserably, while Fan Shi had a vicious look on her face.
Lin Fengtian couldn't bear it and was about to go over to persuade her when Wang Yuhe stopped him: "What do you want to do? Come back!"
"there……"
"What business is it of yours over there? Didn't you see your aunt scolding her granddaughter? Instead of meddling in other people's business, you should think about how to make money so your wife and children can live a better life sooner. Even that bitch Yang Cui has made a fortune now." Wang Yuhe felt suffocated just thinking about it.
Lin Fengtian looked embarrassed. If he knew how to make big money, he would have been rich long ago.
——
Fan dragged Sanya into the house and beat her mercilessly, causing Sanya to scream in pain.
"Er Ya San Ya".
The sudden sound startled Fan and Lin Niu.
Hearing the sound, Lin Daya went to the door and was startled: "It's An Xiaohu and An Xiaojiang!"
When Madam Fan and Madam Lin saw Er Ya and San Ya, whose faces were bruised and swollen and whose voices were hoarse from crying, they felt a pang of panic. If it were someone else, this matter could have been covered up, but it was the An family who came.
"Lin Daya, what are you doing here?" An Xiaohu disliked Lin Daya, thinking she was a treacherous ingrate who helped the Lin family bully her cousin Cui.
Er Ya cried out in a hoarse voice, "Uncle, save me! Save me!"
An Xiaohe and An Xiaohu were shocked: "What did you do to Er Ya and San Ya?"
An Xiaohe and An Xiaohu rushed in and saw Er Ya and San Ya sitting on the ground with bruises and swelling on their faces.
When Sanya saw her two cousins, it was as if she had seen the light; she was so excited that she fainted.
"Sanya! Sanya, wake up!" An Xiaohe called several times, but Sanya did not respond.
An Xiaohu opened her eyes wide and shouted, "Murder! Murder! Help! Murder!"
Fan and Lin Niu were now frightened.
Sanya is still unconscious, and her life or death is still unknown. Even if she is not dead, if people find out that they did it, they will be branded as cruel, mean, and abusive towards children, which will ruin their reputation.
"It has nothing to do with us," Fan and Lin Niu quickly denied, and strode out, preparing to flee the scene.
An Xiaohu was quick-witted. He grabbed Fan Shi and shouted loudly, "Help! Murder! Murder! Old hag Lin has murdered someone!"
"You little brat, let me go! Let me go!" Madam Fan was getting more and more anxious.
At this moment, the villagers came out in response to the call.
But Lin Niu had already run away.
"What happened? Who died? What happened?" Zhou Huangshi asked.
Madam Fan was also terrified at this moment; her mouth moved slightly, but she couldn't utter a word.
An Xiaohu glared at Fan Shi and said angrily, "She and another old hag killed my niece Sanya! You murderer! You poisonous woman!"
"What?"
The crowd erupted in uproar!
"You...you...don't talk nonsense, I didn't!" Madam Fan denied it outright.
At this moment, she hated An Xiaohe and An Xiaohu to the core. If these two hadn't suddenly arrived, and An Xiaohu hadn't been shouting and yelling, there wouldn't have been so many villagers gathering around to watch the commotion, and she wouldn't have been in such a passive position.
"Er Ya is still alive! You think you can escape? She's covered in injuries. You vicious old bastard, you bullied my sister, and now you're taking advantage of her absence to bully my niece. When my sister comes back, she'll definitely send you to the authorities, and you'll be beheaded!"
An Xiaohu was quite eloquent, and his words made Madam Fan tremble with fear.
“My son is a top scholar in the imperial examination and will soon become an official, so I’m not afraid of you! Besides, Sanya is my own granddaughter. As her grandmother, it’s only natural for me to beat her to death!”
Zhou Huangshi said, "You've all severed ties. She's not your granddaughter. Her name on the household registration is now Yang Sisi."
When the village chief's family heard that someone had died in Yang Cui's family, they rushed over and overheard what Fan Shi and Zhou Huang Shi were saying.
Seeing the village chief arrive, Fan felt even worse, as the relationship between their two clans was not harmonious.
Fan struggled fiercely, trying to shake off An Xiaohu.
Despite his young age, An Xiaohu is quite strong, and Fan Shi was unable to shake him off.
"Lin Daya, are you dead? Can't you see I've been caught?"
Lin Daya picked up a broom from the side, ready to hit An Xiaohu, but An Xiaohe, who came out of the room, snatched the broom away. He glared at Lin Daya and scolded, "You heartless thing!"
Lin Daya was twelve years old. Being scolded by An Xiaohe in front of so many people made her feel ashamed.
"Young man An, how is Sanya? Is she really alright...?" the village chief asked.
