That being said, the current situation was bleak.

Even if their grievance reaches the government, there are still procedures it would go through to handle the case. Thus, dragging it to one or two days is common.

But their crops can't wait.

Liu Yusheng listened quietly to the adults' conversation, and the big rock weighing heavily on her heart became heavier.

There's always this niggling hunch that this situation wouldn't be as easy to flip around as it sounds.

Sure enough, as she was slumbering in the middle of the night, there was a sudden noise outside.

Weeping blended amidst the clamor and soon, the courtyard was lit up.

The whole family was jarred awake.

"Who is crying ... It's Du Juan! Oh no!"

"It must be that Erlin guy who has caused trouble!" Liu Dalin didn't even care about putting on his shirt, and rushed out barely with his shoes on.

"Nannan, stay in the room obediently, mother will go and see what's happened." Chen Xiulan's face was all white. She soothed the baby vaguely and followed her husband out.

Only the two children were left in the room.

Liu Yusheng's mouth snapped together tightly, looking at her elder brother who had been sleeping beside her undisturbed. Then watching the flickering brightness outside the window and she sighed deeply. After pondering for a moment, she slid down along the edges of the bed.

The courtyard was crowded with people, and many villagers held torches in their hands to brighten the courtyard.

The crowd formed a ring in the middle of the courtyard, leaving only a gap, which allowed Liu Yusheng to see the situation in the center.

Her second aunt Du Juan sat there paralyzed, crying on the ground.

There was a person lying still on the ground with his face covered with blood. It's her second uncle, Liu Erlin.

"Du Juan, don't cry, the doctor will be here in a minute. It's okay, he'll be fine." Chen Xiulan also shed tears in her eyes, and comforted Du Juan, who was beset with grief.

"He's not dead, what are you crying about!" Grandma Liu came out with a basin of water and reprimanded even though her eyes were red too. "Lift him up and let's clean him first! Don't wait for his wounds to fester while waiting for the doctor."

A group of people lifted the man into the room again and laid him carefully on a bamboo bed on the side of the house.

Father Liu felt his throat blocked, squatted down and hugged a small ball into his arms, patted her back with his hands, his eyes circles slowly turned red.

Liu Yusheng gave way. She raised her head and saw her grandfather not knowing when he had come out. His old face was stained heavily with anger and pain.

"Master!" Liu Yusheng called out. There was no bright smile on the tiny face of the little girl. At nearly two, she seemed to know when to be sad and happy.

Grandpa Liu bent down and took the baby's hand, "Nannan, were you scared?"

"No, not afraid." The baby shook her head.
