Chapter 7: I’ll Tear Your Mouth Apart!

Liu Daya was shocked to see her younger sister, not understanding what kind of madness she was having today.

She had done such a big wrong thing yesterday, logically she should be hiding from her grandmother like a cat seeing a mouse, how could she be so bold?

Liu Zhaodi didn’t care about her older sister’s probing gaze, “What are you looking at? Can’t you see who’s being unreasonable?”

Then she looked at the old lady and said, “Don’t forget, we’ve already split the family.

My sister and I don’t need to work for you anymore, you old hag!”

After saying this, she pulled her sister behind her.

Liu Dahe had just come out of the house and heard Liu Zhaodi’s words to his mother. He immediately took off his shoes.

He went to Liu Zhaodi and slapped her head twice, “You little slut, how dare you talk to your grandmother like that? Even if we’ve split the family, what’s wrong with doing some work?”

Liu Zhaodi looked at Liu Dahe quietly, and after a long time, she said, “Father! My sister and I are your biological daughters, aren’t we?

People say that even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, my sister and I never have enough to eat or wear warm clothes.

We do so much work around the house, you don’t see it. But today, I just contradicted grandma twice, and you beat me up.

My sister and I are also your daughters, why don’t you make Yaozu work?”

Liu Dahe heard Liu Zhaodi’s words and his face darkened, “You want to compare yourself to Yaozu? Yaozu is our hope, he’s going to be a scholar one day.

You’re a money-losing thing, you’ll get married sooner or later, and you still want to eat and not work?

Work hard, at least you can eat two meals a day at home. If you don’t, I’ll marry you off sooner or later.”

Liu Zhaodi heard Liu Dahe mention marriage and shut her mouth.

Over at the Yun family, after they finished breakfast, the old lady Yun looked at Yun Lao San, “Go to your second aunt’s house later and buy some meat.”

Yun Nian’an heard the old lady Yun mention her second aunt and her mind matched it to the family of the old man Yun’s brother.

They were considered one of the richer families in the village.

They had a big tiled house, although the whole family was crowded together, it was still better than their thatched hut.

Moreover, they had a meat stall in town, and their business was pretty good.

But even so, they were still the richest family in Yunjia Village.

Even the village head’s family was far behind the second aunt’s family.

The old man Yun heard the old lady Yun say this and sighed, “Third family, take more money with you.

If your second aunt is busy, just cut some meat from someone else.”

Yun Lao San heard his father say this and quickly nodded. Every time his mother went there, she would always take advantage of them.

His second uncle was a good person, he always wanted to give them more, but his second aunt was not. Every time she knew that the old Yun family was coming to buy meat, she would argue with her husband.

The old lady Yun saw Yun Nian’an standing there in a daze, “Later, you come with me to the hunter’s house on the mountain.”

Yun Nian’an was stunned, “Hunter? Which hunter?”

The old lady Yun saw Yun Nian’an’s silly expression and tapped her head, “What, you forgot?

After the Liu family girl pushed you into the river, it was the youngest son of the old hunter’s family on the mountain who saved you.

Because of this, there might be some gossip in the village, but don’t take it to heart.”

Yun Nian’an nodded, “Grandma, I understand.”

The old lady Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

She took the basket and took out two of the dozen or so eggs she had saved. She counted the eggs in the basket again, there were eight in total.

She carried the basket of eggs and took Yun Nian’an to the mountain.

Yun Nian’an looked at the old lady Yun and said, “Grandma, why do they live on the mountain?”

It’s because a few families in our village were outsiders and always bullied the old hunter and his family.

The old hunter would hunt some game from the mountains, and those families would always sneak over and take advantage of him for various reasons.

That’s why the old hunter took his two sons and moved to the mountains.

When they reached the mountainside, they saw a small courtyard surrounded by a fence, with two wooden houses built inside.

The old lady Yun called out from outside the fence, “Is anyone home?”

The old hunter and his two sons had just finished breakfast when they heard someone calling from outside the fence.

He frowned, thinking that it must be someone from the village below who wanted to take advantage of them.

The old hunter opened the door and saw that it was the old lady Yun. He greeted her with a smile, “It’s the old lady Yun, what brings you here?”

The old lady Yun handed the basket she was carrying to him, “I brought my Nian’an here to thank your son.

If it wasn’t for your son who happened to save my Nian’an, I’m afraid my Nian’an…” She sighed when she said this.

The old hunter shook his head, “Oh, you shouldn’t have done this, you shouldn’t have brought so many eggs, just give them to the child to make up for it, you shouldn’t have brought so many.”

The old hunter glanced at the basket and saw the eight eggs lying inside. He shook his head.

In times when everyone was struggling to eat, eight eggs were a precious gift.

The old lady Yun quickly waved her hand, “If you don’t accept them, then you’re looking down on our family.

We are truly grateful to you. The situation is really bad, we can only bring some eggs, I’ll make it up to you later.”

The old hunter quickly shook his head, “No, no, don’t stand outside, come in.”

After the old lady Yun followed the old hunter inside, the old hunter looked at his youngest son, “This is the little girl you saved, she came here today to thank you.”

After the old hunter finished speaking, Yun Nian’an looked at the young man.

She saw a young man of thirteen or fourteen years old, with a delicate appearance, but he was already about five feet six inches tall.

He had a fair face and handsome features.

At first glance, he didn’t look like a child from an ordinary family.

Yun Nian’an bowed to Lin Yuan, “Thank you for saving me.”

Lin Yuan heard the little girl’s sweet voice and quickly shook his head.

“It was nothing, you’re fine now.”

The old lady Yun saw Lin Yuan’s appearance and smiled, “Your son is getting more and more handsome, I wonder if he’s engaged yet?”

The old hunter sighed, “My Lin Yuan is still young, we’re not in a hurry.”

The old lady Yun nodded, “Yes, he’s still young, no need to rush.”

The old hunter and the old lady Yun chatted for a while.

The old lady Yun took Yun Nian’an and hurried back home.

But as soon as they reached the door, they heard a commotion inside.

When they went in, they found that it was the old lady Wang and Wang Yu who had come to their door.

Yun Nian’an also took a look at Wang Yu.

She thought to herself, this is my fiancé?

Ye Chuhe was scolding, “You’re so shameless! My Nian’an fell into the water and was saved by someone else, what does it have to do with your family?

She was just saved, why are you making a fuss about her reputation?

Why should you be compensated for some loss? You’re really bold!

You keep saying that my Nian’an’s reputation is ruined, I’ll tear your mouth apart.”
