CH 17

Chapter 17. Disfigured

You Jin had been in this world for nearly 12 years. These sisters were mostly brought up by her. The hard work that You Jin poured into them had long been incalculable. They were her biggest weakness. Now that You Zhu was all right, You Jin let her on-the-edge heart settle down.

You Zhu shook her head slightly: "I'm fine. Where's little Eighth? How's little Eighth? Have she been stung?" 

Which rural child hadn't been stung by a parasa consocia? You Zhu naturally knew this familiar pain meant it was parasa consocia and feared that little Eight got stung.

You Jin patted her thin little hand lightly: "Don't worry, little Eighth is fine. You Bao is watching her!" Because little Eighth never cried or made trouble, You Jin and others didn't notice little Eighth got stung. Just thought she was scared.

However, You Zhu shook her head anxiously: "Third Elder Sister, go take a look. Little Eighth may have been stung too!" 

Her eyes were full of angst as she urged You Jin to check little Eighth.

You Jin nodded and spoke, "I see. I'll go in a while. Tell me what's happened first? How did you get stung by so many parasa consocia when you were watching the grain in the drying yard?" 

You Jin would never believe that You Zhu was being naughty and got stung. There must be other reasons.

Hearing Third Elder Sister's question, You Zhu's eyes became full of ruthlessness: "It's Yue Wen Wei! He brought a few people over to throw parasa consocia on us!" 

She gritted her teeth and viciously declared: "Seeing me and little Eighth so, they stood there surrounding us and laughed! I will definitely not let him go!"

You Wen Wei! Hearing that it was his doing, You Jin's eyes were instantly filled with gloom. She patted You Zhu to comfort her: "Be good, You Zhu. Leave Yue Wen Wei to Third Elder Sister. You should properly nurse your wounds."

"Third Elder Sister! I can do it myself!" You Zhu wanted to personally take revenge.

You Zhu shook her head: "You Zhu, you can't win him with your fist. If you go back and tattle, you might even gen beaten by Grandmother. How can you take revenge?" 

Each and every words of You Jin stabbed the heart. The tears that You Zhu had originally held back flowed down against her will: "Then do we let them bully like this? Just because we are girls and money-wasting things, we can bully and be beaten and scolded at will!"

You Jin reached out to wipe away the tears on You Zhu's face. Her gaze steadily looked at her and said softly: "You Zhu, being a female is not our fault. Nor we are supposed be bullied by others. You have to remember, no matter what others said, we can't think of ourselves as money-wasting things. So what if we are female? We can be independent and strong. However, you are still young. Hitting a stone with an egg is the stupidest way. We got to become a being that's harder than a stone. Even if others are stones, we won't be crushed. Understand?"

Maybe due to Third Elder Sister's gaze being too firm and her tone was too resolute strong, You Zhu subconsciously nodded: "Third Elder Sister, I understand. I will definitely be stronger earlier, so that I can protect you all!"
