"Mu Er, Yang Yang, I've boiled some water, and it's still warm now. You two should come in and drink a few mouthfuls of water. You should also eat some of the cakes I've baked. It's still some time before we have lunch. Don't be hungry."

Yang Lili was standing in front of the Ye Family's second room. She held onto Xiao Yiran's hand and smiled faintly. Her appearance was just as gentle and elegant as before. However, her beautiful eyes were swollen like a red peach.

Qi Mu and Yang Lili looked at each other, their hearts throbbing in pain. Ai, ever since her cheap mother found out about this, she did not publicly blame her, but told her that they should go and visit the Wu family's aunt and compensate her.

"Sigh, we'll be going back now."

He bent down and picked up the Yang Yang. He weighed it in his hand and thought to himself: Why isn't there any meat on this baby? Then, he walked towards the main house.

The four of them sat facing each other, looking at each other without saying a word. This was clearly the most ordinary matter in this world, but at this moment, the atmosphere was slightly solemn.

"Mu Er, how did it turn out like this?" "How could something like this happen if I just went to wash my clothes? Why is it all gone …"

Yang Lili suddenly covered her face with her hands as tears flashed across her eyes. She murmured with a tone of sorrow that could not be dispelled. Her eyebrows slightly knitted, showing how disturbed she was.

"Mother, there's nothing that can be changed about what happened. I did my best, and died at the root …"

Qi Mu sighed slightly. Just when he wanted to comfort Yang Lili, he didn't expect that the usually quiet outside of the house would suddenly be noisy.

"Yang Lili, your little girl harmed my son. Don't think that you can just pretend to be deaf and mute. Just let this matter pass. Today, you must give me an explanation!"

"Second Aunt, are you home? "Come out."

"Da Zhuang's wife. Is the matter of the Wu family related to your family's girl …"

As expected, Qi Mu heard the sounds coming from outside and saw Yang Lili becoming more and more at a loss. She steadily walked up to Yang Lili and shook her hand. Feeling the slight roughness of her fingertips, she transmitted the warmth of her palm.

"Mother, don't be afraid. It's fine. There is no one who is right or wrong in this matter. If it wasn't said that it was right or wrong, everyone present would be sinners."

Noticing Yang Lili slightly nodding her head, Qi Mu turned towards Yang Chen and Little Yiran. With a stern tone, he instructed:

"Yang Yang, take your little sister and play in the house. No matter how much trouble you cause outside, you are not allowed to go out. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

Yang Yang softly answered and went to hold Little Yiran's pure and flawless hands. He somewhat timidly nodded, his large eyes were bright and clear, and at this time there was a hint of unease in them.

"Yang Yang, you promised elder sister, remember to do it. Take care of your younger sister and play with her, elder sister and mother will be back soon. Yang Yang, be good."

Qi Mu patted Yang Yang's round head and softly spoke with a caring tone. The sunlight shined on her uninjured face, giving her a peaceful look.

"Let's go, Mom."

Actually, Qi Mu didn't want Yang Lili to go with him. Although Yang Lili was her nominal mother, she didn't directly face the storm. In her heart, she wasn't as mature as her, a top talent in the shopping mall.

However, she appeared to be only nine years old. With such a large matter, she couldn't possibly face it alone. She couldn't understand anything, so Qi Mu could only call for Yang Lili.

"Yang Lili, you're finally willing to come out. Your family still doesn't have any conscience. My son has died at the hands of your daughter. As parents, you didn't even ask …"

"And you, a girl who has to pay money. How could you be so vicious? "How did you provoke my family's grass root? You want to beat him up and not let him get ashore? You caused him to lose his life at such a young age …"

As soon as the Wu family's wife saw Qi Mu's mother open the door and leave, she rushed in front of the Wu family's mother and daughter. Wu family's wife saw Qi Mu's mother open the door and rushed in front of the seven family's mother and daughter.

"Aunt Wu, what do you mean your son died in my hands? What do you mean I have to hit him and not let him go ashore? I respect you for being an elder, but you have to have a sense of propriety when you speak."

Qi Mu took half a step forward, half covering Yang Lili's body. Her brows slightly knitted, her eyes gazed at the emaciated Wu family's aunt, and spoke with a solemn voice.

The Wu family's wife was getting more and more outrageous with her words. One must know that rumors could force a person to death and their own suffering must be endured by others as well before they would be willing to accept it.

When Aunt Wu heard this, her face turned even more indignant. Her lips trembled as she complained with great resentment:

"Why did my son die? My grassroots, he can clearly live. He is so close to the river bank, you only need to pull him, and he won't struggle in the river for so long! "

"Nobody cares if he lives or dies …"

"Say, if you hadn't kicked him in the end, he might have been able to live right now. It's all your fault, if it wasn't for you, my son wouldn't have died!"

"You are just a lowly girl. Even if you want to die, you should at least die. How can the heavens take my son's life!"

Qi Mu looked at the Wu family's aunt, whose grief and indignation had turned into hostility. He was expressionless and had no words to refute her. To a mother who had lost her child, a person who had already treated "excessive imagination" as reality was unreasonable.

The people of ancient times were extremely loyal to her. No matter why, ever since she kicked him, there was no way to resolve this situation since someone's life was in front of them.

Just as the mother and son pair were facing a circle of people in front of the house and allowing them to point at them, silently facing each other, a powerful voice resounded through the sky as it said:

"Who said my daughter is a girl no one wants?!"

"My daughter is the best girl in the world!"

"Normally, I wouldn't even bother to say half a word. How could it be your turn as a wife?"

Ye Dazhuang walked over while carrying his hoe. His face and neck were covered in sweat, but his expression was extremely serious. He looked at Aunt Wu with bright and clear eyes, as if he could see through her heart.

"Dad, why are you here?"

"Baby's father …"

When Qi Mu and Yang Lili saw Ye Dazhuang walking over, they were very surprised. It was not time for lunch yet. Logically speaking, Ye Dazhuang should be working in the fields.

"Why can't I come? My daughter's daughter-in-law has already been blocked off by a door and is pointing at her nose while scolding. How could I not come? "

"This morning, I already felt that I shouldn't have gone down to the ground. If my daughter hadn't advised me to do nothing, I wouldn't have done anything. I stayed at home and didn't go anywhere."

"If I didn't go, you two wouldn't have to suffer for nothing."

Ye Dazhuang said to Qi Mu and Yang Lili with a regretful expression. As he said the last sentence, he shot a cold glance at Wu family's aunt. His daughter was the best, how could she be scolded like this?

"Good, good, good."

Aunt Wu's wrinkled face was filled with a sneer. She said three "good" words consecutively before mocking:

"No wonder your family wasn't well-liked before. So it turns out that the interior is full of dirty things!" Serves you right! "You girls want my son's life, but as his parents, you still have the face to protect him …"

"Since that's the case, I might as well explain things clearly. Since ancient times, the things you bring along are much more expensive than the gold you don't have. What's the logic behind your little girl's life now that my son is dead?"

"If I don't send this girl down the river and use her life as payment for my life, then no matter who it is, their life will end today!"

Hearing this, everyone in the village was stunned. Even Yang Lili and Ye Dazhuang were the same. Only Qi Mu was the most clear-headed. She still remembered the last sentence she heard yesterday:

"I want you to pay with your life!"
