Tian Xiaotong continued without getting angry: "My sister is also going to take the exam. Do you think she can pass?"
"What's it got to do with me?" Xing Yifei paced around Tian Xiaotong. He didn't have the time to talk nonsense with her. He just felt annoyed.
Tian Xiaotong smiled with satisfaction after hearing this. Even if she was nothing in his heart now, she, Tian Xiaolan, didn't even have a place at all.
Looking at Tian Xiaolan, she didn't look sad as she had imagined.
Her anger was boiling. How dare she do that? At home, she only served her tea and water. She looked like that. She must have been taught a lesson. She wanted to go up to her and talk to her, but she looked at her hands with worry. Even her parents were no match for her.
Tian Xiaolan didn't want to pay attention to this little trick. In her opinion, it was just like a primary school trick and meaningless.
On autumn nights, the chirping of cicadas penetrates the layers of heat waves, like a symphony of nature.
I turned back when I was tired and saw that many families had already started eating. Some of their houses were built with two households connected together, with no space in the middle. They were holding bowls and chatting with their neighbors outside the house.
I happened to be passing by those two houses, so I walked quickly along the path.
You can also hear the frank conversation in the back.
"Look, let me tell you, Tian Xiaolan has really changed. I heard she even signed up for the rice thresher exam. How dare she?"
"I think she's sick. How can a woman operate a machine? She's taken up my child's place."
"Who told her to have a good stepfather who used his connections to help her? What do you have?" A sarcastic tone came out of his words.
Tian Xiaolan couldn't stand it any longer and turned around. "Why are you hearing dogs barking so late at night? If you have something to say, just tell me directly. Do you really think I can't hear you?"
"I'll tell you to your face, you signed up through the back door. Let's see what you can do to me!" The man folded his arms and looked at her lazily.
"She called us dogs, you have such a sharp tongue, no wonder your parents don't want you!" My mind was still thinking about what she had just said, and then I realized that they didn't have a dog at home, so where did the barking come from?
The other man was furious after hearing this, and strode over. Just as he raised his hand to swing it, he was blocked by an upper kick. There was a "click" sound, and his hand was dislocated by the kick.
The other man took a few steps back and closed his mouth.
"Ouch, you dare to hit me, I'm going to sue the village chief." The man covered his hands and shouted that he would go to the village chief's house.
"Go ahead, I'll tell him what kind of good man has nothing better to do than gossip and beat women. Just imagine how your child will find a wife in the future." Tian Xiaolan said fearlessly, not afraid of him. "Do you want your hand to heal?"
Before, when she practiced this with her senior brothers and sisters, she would inevitably get injured, and then she slowly learned to heal herself.
The man's face froze and he stopped making a fuss. "Can you really get it back for me?" He was a little hesitant because he had to spend money to go to the clinic.
"Believe it or not is up to you. If you don't want to do it, I'll leave." Tian Xiaolan didn't want to waste any more words with him, so she got up and left.
"Don't believe it. She definitely doesn't want you to get better and will make things worse for you." Another person on the side encouraged him to go and watch the fun.
After weighing the pros and cons, the man hurriedly called out to her, "Hey, hey, hey, Xiaolan, I was wrong just now. Don't bother with me. I trust you. Come and help me."
Tian Xiaolan heard what he said, turned around and asked, "You're not going to sue anymore?"
"Why sue? We are all from the same village. It will hurt the harmony." The man's face turned pale with pain. Cold sweat rolled down his forehead. He forced himself to pull up the corners of his mouth and smile.
"Don't believe her, she is the best at lying." The man was still encouraging him, hoping that he would change his decision.
"Old thing, you want me to die, right?" The man distracted himself and said to him. He was not the one who was injured, but he kept muttering beside him.
Seeing him like this, Xiu'er decided to straighten him out. She lifted his arm with one hand to keep the fractured end still, and let him hold his elbow himself to maintain a stable traction force. With one hand, she clenched her fist and controlled the force to gently tap the distal end of the fracture from the distal end. She stopped tapping when the dislocated bone was inserted into its original position.
"Are you really okay?" The man wanted to raise his hand and shake his arm, but Tian Xiaolan held it down with two fingers.
"Do you want to dislocate it again?" Tian Xiaolan said expressionlessly.
The man immediately held his arm and dared not move.
"Leave."
"Why did you just let him go like that?" The thin man looked at him with disappointment. He couldn't understand why he compromised just because of a little injury. He wondered if he was still a man.
I didn't want to talk to him anymore, so I went back to the house.
When Tian Xiaolan returned home, she saw Xiu'er reading a book close to the kerosene lamp, turning the pages gently with her fingers. Li Weimin was swatting mosquitoes with his hands, bored.
Aunt Guihua and Aunt Dongmei were sitting outside the house talking, and there was no sign of Uncle Weiguo.
"Xiaolan is back, and it's time for us to leave. Thank you for your family's care today." Liu Dongmei opened and closed her mouth, and finally said it. She had figured it out. She couldn't always rely on others. She had to protect Xiu'er and not let her get hurt.
"good."
"It's so late, let's go back tomorrow. We can't even see the road clearly now." Fang Guihua looked at the darkness outside and felt worried.
"No need, thank you for your care, and Xiaolan, I know what to do. There's nothing I can do to repay you, so I'll kowtow to you." Liu Dongmei said as she bent her knees and was about to go to the ground and kneel down.
Fang Guihua was shocked at first when she saw Liu Dongmei's actions, then she ran over and grabbed her hand to stop her from kneeling, saying anxiously, "Aren't you shortening my life by doing this?"
Li Weimin echoed and went to pull her, "Yes, auntie, don't kneel, get up quickly."
"Mom, why are you kneeling down?" While Xiu'er was reading a book, Liu Dongmei bent her legs and fell to the ground.
Tian Xiaolan was also stunned. Is the way of expressing gratitude so simple and unpretentious in this era?
After pulling hard, Liu Dongmei was finally able to get up.
Seeing her like this, Fang Guihua didn't dare to let her go back, for fear that she would be bullied again. Her home was so far away from hers, and she wouldn't be able to help her if she was bullied.
Fang Guihua took her hand and patted it, earnestly advising her, "Listen to me, sleep with me today. Think about the child. Will he be able to get a good night's sleep when you go back home today? Will he be in good spirits for the exam tomorrow?"
"Is there enough room to sleep? What about Weiguo and Weimin?" Liu Dongmei was worried. She didn't want to come here and leave others with nowhere to go.
"I'll stay at a friend's house." Wei Min took the initiative to suggest so as not to put them in a difficult position.
Seeing that Li Weimin was so considerate, Fang Guihua took Dongmei to the inner room and said, "Let's sleep sideways. This bed can accommodate four people." When Li Weiguo married her, she specially asked him to make a big bed for her, and now she can really put it to good use.
