The scream was piercing, like a loudhailer, echoing over the old Yun family's home…
Xiao Xi Tian instantly woke up, sat up abruptly, and glanced towards the door, "What's going on?"
The room was quiet, only the crying from the cattle shed continued, as if someone had been gored by a cow.
Without time to think, Xiao Xi Tian put on her floral padded jacket, got off the heated brick bed, and ran towards the cattle shed…
Outside the cattle shed, many people were gathered. The entire Yun family, young and old, had arrived, their expressions a mixture of panic, complexity, and deep helplessness.
The village chief and other villagers also shook their heads and sighed. Some muttered curses, some shouted reprimands, while others offered pity and sympathy.
The reason was none other than a boy, about six or seven years old, sitting inside the cattle shed. He was clutching his stomach and wailing loudly, continuously cursing the 'dead cow,' 'stinky cow,' and 'dirty cow'…
The boy's mother stood beside him, egging him on, cursing and even spitting at the dairy cow.
"Pah! You think you're so great just because you have a few cows? Just wait until a plague comes and wipes out all your cows!" the woman cursed, rolling her eyes.
Villagers: "…"
They had seen unreasonable people, but never such shameless ones.
It was clearly their own child who insisted on squeezing into the cattle shed and then poking the cow's thigh with a bamboo stick. It was no wonder he got kicked.
One must know that an old cow's kick is powerful, more painful than a horse's kick, and old cows are not only good at kicking backward but also forward…
Xiao Xi Tian blinked her big eyes and pulled Jin Xiao Lou, who was furious, over. "Brother Xiao Lou, what's wrong with them?"
Jin Xiao Lou's eyes were red with anger, wishing he could rush over and tear the mother and son into eight pieces.
But in front of Xiao Xi Tian, he didn't want to show his irritable and explosive emotions…
"It's that boy named Liu Da Zhuang. While no one was paying attention, he poked the cow's backside with a bamboo stick and whipped them. One big cow got agitated and kicked him hard. Liu Da Zhuang's mother then started throwing a tantrum and cursing. So shameless!" Jin Xiao Lou explained indignantly. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Xiao Xi Tian was speechless after hearing this.
Liu Da Zhuang's mother, surnamed Zhou, had moved to Da Shui Village in the autumn. Everyone called her Madam Zhou…
It was said that Madam Zhou's husband had died of illness several years ago, and now she lived alone with her son, their life being quite difficult.
Because of this, the villagers of Da Shui Village would help them from time to time, sending some millet today and some frozen tofu tomorrow.
They thought that kindness would be reciprocated. Who knew that Madam Zhou did not like interacting with the villagers and was very jealous…
If anyone got something new or improved their life, she would feel extremely uncomfortable.
Old Yun had not invited her to the feast today, but Madam Zhou, with thick skin, brought Liu Da Zhuang herself.
Since they were all neighbors in the same village, they would see each other often. Therefore, Madam Gu and Old Yun did not chase them away…
But who would have thought that Liu Da Zhuang, this mischievous child, was just like his mother. Seeing that the old Yun family had suddenly bought so many cows, he wanted to find ways to harm them. Even if he couldn't kill the cows, he wanted to make them bleed.
Now, it was a case of trying to steal a chicken and ending up losing the bait. Not only was the big cow unharmed, but Liu Da Zhuang was also kicked.
The village chief glared at Madam Zhou and tapped his walking stick, "I say, Madam Zhou, are you being reasonable or not? Your child crawled into the cattle shed himself. Now that he's been kicked, you still have the nerve to blame the Yun family. You know how the villagers have treated you all along. Everyone is simple and kind, but you two mother and son are psychologically twisted and very dark. If you keep making a fuss, I'll escort you out on behalf of Old Yun…"
"Who said you didn't!" Fu Da Qiang, with a dry grass stem in his mouth, coldly agreed, "Before, I thought you were just introverted and didn't like to interact with others. Now I see it clearly, you're just envious. Do you know what envy is? It means you're petty and wicked. You live poorly yourself and curse others to have bad luck with you. How can you be so malicious?"
Those who came to the old Yun family's feast today were all original residents of Da Shui Village who got along well with the Yun family…
Therefore, when such a thing happened, they naturally had to speak in unison and side with the old Yun family.
Madam Zhou pursed her lips, glared fiercely at everyone, and remained silent.
Madam Gu frowned, her face gloomy, and her mood was extremely bad.
Dinner was to be served soon, and yet they encountered such an annoying incident. Truly, one could meet oddballs everywhere…
Old Yun walked into the cattle shed and looked at the wailing Liu Da Zhuang, sighing, "Oh dear, stop crying. Quickly see if you've been badly kicked by the cow. Come out quickly, I'll have Da Man take you to the county town to see a doctor!~"
If anything happened to this child, it would be troublesome if they were extorted by the old Yun family.
After all, the New Year was approaching, and no one wanted to get involved in such trouble…
Not only was it unlucky, but it would also affect the luck for the coming year.
Seeing Old Yun come to help Liu Da Zhuang, Madam Zhou stepped forward, slapped Old Yun's hand away, and shouted shrilly, "Yun, what are you pretending to be so kind for? If my son's bones are broken from the kick, you'll have to support him from now on!"
"Hmph, isn't your old Yun family rich and powerful? You can even afford cows, so raising a child shouldn't be difficult…"
As soon as she said this, Liu Da Zhuang, who had been crying 'wah wah,' suddenly stopped crying and looked at Old Yun expectantly.
Mother's idea was good. If he could really come to live with the old Yun family, wouldn't he be able to eat well and live comfortably from then on?
Upon hearing this, Old Yun trembled with anger.
Such a grown person, speaking more offensively than farting. How did this shrew manage to live this long…
Just as Old Yun was about to argue with her, Madam Gu opened the fence gate, walked quickly to Madam Zhou, and slapped her twice across the face.
The sudden turn of events stunned everyone for a few seconds. Even Madam Zhou stared blankly at Madam Gu, her mouth agape, unable to speak…
Everyone in Da Shui Village knew that Madam Gu, the matriarch of the old Yun family, had always been gentle, virtuous, and approachable, never resorting to physical violence.
It was evident that the actions of Madam Zhou and her son today had truly infuriated her.
Xiao Xi Tian also walked into the cattle shed with her short legs, came to her mother's side, put her hands on her hips, and glared at Madam Zhou. Her little face was puffed up like a small pufferfish, lacking any threat but being exceptionally cute…
Madam Zhou clutched her face and gritted her teeth, shouting, "Ahhh! You, you dare to hit someone! I'm going to report it to the authorities, I'm going to find the magistrate to get justice!~"
"Slap, slap!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Gu swung her arm again and slapped her two more times.
