A Small Farmer Girl 's Story of Making a Fortune by Farming

7

　　Before Shen Yao had time to make the cloth bag, Hu, the eldest daughter-in-law of his great-grandfather, came to him with red eyes.

　　"Second uncle, second aunt!"

　　Old man Shen picked up the tattered cloth shoes on the ground, knocked them against the leg of a stool before putting them on.

　　Before Old Man Shen could ask, Mrs. Hu wiped her eyes and said, "Xiang Lian was beaten by her in-laws. My father-in-law and mother-in-law got sick from anger after hearing the news. Daniu asked me to invite you over!"

　　"What? Xiang Lian was beaten by her in-laws? That Lu guy is bullying us because there is no one left in the Shen family, right? Eldest son, second son, and third son, come on, follow me!" Old man Shen picked up the carrying pole by the door, waved his hand, and asked his son to follow him to Lujia Village.

　　Shen Yao also ran after him, trying to stop her grandfather.

　　But she was too small and her legs were too short, so she fell before she could run two steps.

　　The fall was so strong that there was a "bang" sound, which startled the Xu family. Xu screamed and ran over to hug the person. Shen Chunsheng and his friends heard the sound and turned around to see the person getting up from the ground. They turned back with a distressed look on their faces.

　　"Does it hurt?"

　　Shen Yao held back her tears and shook her head.

　　"Be good, girl. Daddy and grandpa have something to do. Can you wait for daddy to come back home?" Shen Chunsheng looked at the big bump on his daughter's forehead and tears welled up in his eyes.

　　Shen Yao didn't answer and walked towards Old Man Shen: "Grandpa, I'll go to Great Grandpa's house with you."

　　Old man Shen wanted to refuse. They were going to Lujia Village to seek justice, and there might be a fight. What if Nannan went with them and got hurt?

　　But when he saw his granddaughter's pitiful appearance, he still picked her up.

　　I'll ask my niece-in-law to bring my daughter back later.

　　When Old Man Shen arrived at Great Grandfather's house, Shen Yao's two uncles were gathered around Great Grandmother's bed. Great Grandfather was sitting beside him, looking very pale.

　　"Brother, what about sister-in-law?"

　　The great grandfather came back to his senses after being called by Old Man Shen, with tears in his eyes: "I'm just too sad, it's nothing serious!"

　　"Brother, you stay home and take care of my sister-in-law. I'll take my eldest brother and the others to Lujia Village."

　　Boss Shen, who had always been taciturn, was now furious and said angrily, "Uncle, that damn Lu Jian dared to hit Xiang Lian. Let's go to Lujia Village and beat that damn guy up, and seek justice for Xiang Lian!"

　　"Yes, beat that son of a bitch Lu Jian to death. He bullies my Shen family and no one cares!"

　　As Shen Laosan said this, he carried his hoe and was about to go to Lujia Village.

　　"Wait, sir, don't be impulsive!" Shen Yao waved his little arms and shouted.

　　Everyone then realized that little Nannan was still here.

　　Old Man Shen was just about to tell his granddaughter to stay at Great Grandfather's house to play while they went to do some work, when he heard Shen Yao ask, "Great Grandfather, do you know why Aunt Xianglian was beaten? Was it the first time she was beaten?"
