When Madame Zhao saw that her son seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, she hugged her son and sobbed.

Song Yao felt a bit uncomfortable as she hugged Gou Dan, her pretty face still had a silly smile on it.

When they had cried enough, Madame Zhao got up and said she would take the child back. Song Yao thought for a moment, but she didn't stop her. She initially wanted this child to provoke Madame Zhao so she could think it through.

But now that Madame Zhao knew what to do, she didn't stop them.

Song Yao's heart was filled with mixed emotions as she watched the mother and son pair leave.

Ye Zichen turned his head and met Song's Mother's puzzled gaze. Song Yao rolled her eyes, a little embarrassed. She picked up the bowl on the table and drank all the water in it.

Song's Mother seemed to hesitate slightly, but she still asked, "Yao'er, don't blame your mother for speaking too much. It's just that you're completely different from before. If there's anything, you can tell your mother."

Song Yao's heart tightened. She was too engrossed with her own thoughts and had even forgotten to put on an act on the surface. However, she did not intend to put on an act for too long. Otherwise, she would be bullied to death sooner or later.

"Mother, I'm fine. I just experienced a life-and-death battle, so I saw through a few things. If I am unable to protect myself properly and fight for my own benefits, then I will definitely be bullied by others and will not be able to raise my head up for the rest of my life. "

Song's Mother was stunned for a moment before she continued, "Mother has thought about what you said before, but you never said anything like that before. Furthermore, how did you beat those men away that day? Mother doesn't remember you ever learning these things … "

"Ugh …"

Song Yao turned her head away, embarrassed, and said after a while, "Actually, I didn't learn anything. I just felt that I couldn't just give up like that, so I gave a few kicks and punches. I didn't expect to beat them away."

She spoke with a straight face, but Song Yao did not blush at all.

Song Gui came up from behind Song's Mother and grabbed onto Song Yao's clothes, "Sis A, you said there's a reward."

Song Yao looked at her with her pair of grape-like black eyes, full of hope. Song Yao stumbled a little, and she casually said that it was over.

She thought for a moment, then bent down and asked Song Gui: "What do you want?"

Song Gui's expression immediately brightened. He revealed two canines at the corner of his mouth, "The market will be in the city in a few days, I want the candied fruits."

Song Yao was enlightened. Indeed, he was a glutton.

She nodded. She couldn't stay in the village forever. She had to enter the city to see if there was any way to get rich and also to see if there were any talented people. She still wanted to go back.

He happily agreed to Song Gui's request, but when he glanced at Song's Mother's troubled and sad expression, there was no doubt that it was due to the lack of money.

Just as he was about to comfort Song's Mother, he heard Song Gui say, "Sis A, I also want a reward!"

Before Song Yao could ask what happened, Song's Mother interrupted her: "Xiao Gui, why are you so ignorant? Don't you know our family's situation? "How can you make things difficult for Sis A, Sis A …"

What she said was outrageous. Song Gui was originally a person who was afraid of getting into trouble. After being yelled at by her, his whole body shrunk and he moved towards Song Yao's legs.

Song Yao interrupted Song's Mother, "Mom, why are you saying all this? Let's listen to what he wants first. Besides, he's still young, how can he know that? You see how scared he is. How can a boy be like this? "Later on, we will designate those who are to be bullied."

Song Gui wiped the tears off his face as he looked at Song Yao. His mouth twitched, showing that he was trying not to cry.

Song's Mother opened her mouth wanting to say something, but Song Yao held her hand and shook her head. "You can go back to your work. We'll talk about the siblings."

Seeing this, Song's Mother sighed and returned to her room.

"What do you want?" Song Yao asked.

Song Gui sniffed and said, "I think Sis A is awesome. I want to learn Sis A's kung fu from her and can protect my mother in the future. My mother was always bullied, but I didn't help her."

He blinked hard, not wanting to cry.

Song Yao's heart softened at his words. She reached out her hand to rub his head and said, "I will teach you, but I will only teach you one thing. You have to try your best to be strong yourself. Do you understand?"

Song Gui firmly nodded with his small fists. Song Yao pinched his face and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to the city to buy you food in a few days."

Song Gui nodded. He really wanted to eat the candied fruits. A year ago, his father brought one back for him, but he hasn't had one since.

The bed was very hard, and Song Yao wasn't used to sleeping. She tossed and turned most of the night before finally falling asleep, only to be awakened by the jingling noises outside. She climbed up to the window and saw that it was Song's Mother, chopping firewood in the morning.

Ah … She felt both sorry and helpless for her laziness. She had thought that she could sleep in peace!

After struggling for a while, he got up and took the axe from Song's Mother, and started chopping wood in an impressive manner.

When she was young, she learned a lot from her grandfather's house. He was diligent, often dragging her into the fields. She had gotten used to living in the countryside.

Looks like the road ahead is long.

After breakfast, Song's Mother went back to the fields. Now it was the wheat planting season, and Song Yao herself planned to go with her. Song's Mother said that she had been sick for a long time, so it was better for her to have a good rest.

In addition, Song Yao was also quite concerned about Zhao Lihua, so she didn't insist. However, after today, tomorrow, they would go to the fields. After all, farming in the countryside was a living thing, Song's Mother alone was too slow and exhausting.

It was still early when she finished her breakfast. She arranged the firewood neatly in front of the door and also washed everything she could use at home. Before she could finish, she saw that the east side of the village had already become lively.

Song Gui was still a kid after all, so he could not hold his curiosity in any way and ran off to watch the show. After a while, he ran back hurriedly and said, "Sis A, Sis A, Aunt Zhao and Uncle Zhao are fighting!"

When Song Yao heard what was in her hand, she hastily ran over. If she really could hit someone in the wrong, then she would have committed a grave sin.

When they arrived, they saw that it was not just a fight, it was a one-sided fight between Zhao Lihua and Zhao Tu Hu. Zhao Tu Hu was on the ground and his face was covered with blood, Zhao Lihua felt that it was not enough and picked up a pile of stones beside her and raised her hand to smash it.

Song Yao blocked her in time, "Calm down!"

Zhao Lihua raised her head and saw that it was Song Yao. Her tone carried grievance and sadness. "Little girl Yao, did you know? He actually chose that bitch! "I can't take this lying down!"

Song Yao sighed, "I already said, leaving him is your fortune, losing you is his misfortune. Since he has made this choice, why force it? You are worth it. Moreover, if you really make a name for yourself now, let's not talk about getting sued, the spectators will only be happier, and the relatives will be happy, what's the use? "

She took the stone from Zhao Lihua's hand. "You still have a few decades of life left, why are you still in his hands? Let him go, don't let him be a joke."

Zhao Lihua looked at the man curled up on the ground again and snorted coldly. "You better not regret this!"

She turned around and walked into the yard. Song Yao followed and the crowd dispersed. Zhao Dacheng covered his face with his hands and took one last look at the yard he had lived in for many years before turning around and walking away.
