"I always apply these wild herbs from the mountains to them. It usually stops the bleeding and reduces inflammation, so there's no big problem."

Hearing Uncle Fu's words, Yang Ruoqing felt relieved a little.

I hope so!

After treating the wound, Yang Ruoqing supported Xiaoduo and walked back.

On the way, Xiaoduo said to Yang Ruoqing: "Sister, I'm fine. It's just a little skin rash. Apply some medicine and it'll be fine."

"Sister, you don't need to..."

"Xiao Duo, please stop talking. I will definitely help you out with this tone." Yang Ruoqing said.

Xiaoduo stopped and said, "Sister, Xiaoduo understands your kindness. Xiaoduo is really fine. Sister, you don't need to offend Fourth Aunt and Sister He'er for me. This is not good..."

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand to stop Xiaoduo's words.

"You and Xiaohua were rescued by me. You have grown up in my home these past few years,"

"You have a home, and this is your home,"

"You have parents, and my parents are your parents."

"You have brothers and sisters, and I am your sister. I will not let you be bullied. Bullying you is just a slap in my face!" Yang Ruoqing said.

Xiaoduo looked grateful and was about to cry.

"But……"

"No buts," Yang Ruoqing interrupted Xiaoduo again.

"My sister will make the decision for you in this matter. Don't worry about anything, don't think about it, don't worry about it."

"Come on, let's go home and rest now." Yang Ruoqing said.

Xiaoduo was so moved that her tears fell down like broken beads, and she followed Yang Ruoqing towards the entrance of the village.

Halfway through, I met Mr. Sun who was coming over.

"Xiao Duo, how is the situation?"

Mrs. Sun came closer, held Xiaoduo's other arm, and asked nervously.

Xiaoduo could clearly see the worry between his eyebrows.

"Third Aunt, it's Xiaoduo's fault. He failed to take good care of the fifth aunt's family's big treasure, and caused trouble for Sister Qing'er..." Xiaoduo muttered.

Mrs. Sun was startled for a moment, then raised her hand and stroked Xiaoduo's hair.

"You silly girl, what are you talking about?"

"You were bitten by a dog because you were protecting a few children."

"How is the wound? Let Third Aunt take a look at it." Mrs. Sun said urgently.

Xiaoduo said: "It's okay, Third Aunt, no need to look."

Yang Ruoqing also said: "Mom, I've already applied the medicine, so it won't be a problem. Let Xiaoduo have a good rest these days. It'll be fine."

"I heard from Lan'er that Xiao Duo was bitten and bleeding, how can he be fine?" said Sun, still looking worried.

Yang Ruoqing said: "It's a skin injury, let's go, mother, go back first and then we'll talk about it later."

"Hey, okay, okay!"

Sun and Yang Ruoqing, one on the left and the other on the right, supported Xiaoduo back home.

In the hall, Bao Suyun sat on a stool, holding Dabao in his arms, with his head lowered and his chin gently resting on Dabao's head, his face full of distress.

Mianmian and Luo Baobao were standing at the small table nearby. The two little guys were playing with the plates filled with melon seeds and snacks, enjoying themselves.

Yang Ruolan and Xiaohua stood behind the two little guys respectively, watching over them.

The main hall was very quiet, so quiet that the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

Until the sound of footsteps outside the house broke the silence in the room.

Bao Suyun looked up and saw Yang Ruoqing coming in, a glimmer of light flashed across his dazed eyes.

She quickly stood up with Dabao in her arms, "Qing'er, Xiaoduo...how is the situation?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "It's okay, Fifth Aunt, don't worry."

Xiaoduo also pursed her lips towards Bao Suyun, "Fifth Aunt, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Dabao..."

Bao Suyun shook her head hurriedly: "Xiaoduo, you were bitten because you were protecting Dabao. Aunt Five feels very sorry..."

The woman's eyes were red. She looked at Dabao and then at Xiaoduo: "How could it be like this? How could something like this happen? When I think about it, I still feel panicked..."

Yang Ruoqing helped Xiaoduo sit down on the stool next to her, turned around and said, "I knew something would happen to that dog sooner or later, but I didn't expect that it would happen in our house."

Sun said: "You threw He'er's dog and even hit her. I'm afraid your fourth aunt will have a hard time with this."

Yang Ruoqing twitched her lips: "I was about to go to the old house to find her!"

Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Liu's voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Xiaoduo, Xiaoduo, you bitch, come out here, I'm going to skin you."

Mrs. Liu shouted loudly, and people came to the yard in a hurry.

In the hall, Xiaoduo was so frightened that her whole body trembled.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Then, she quickly walked out of the main room and blocked Mrs. Liu at the door.

"Fourth Aunt, you came just in time, and I just wanted to go find He'er and skin her and the dog she raised!" Yang Ruoqing said.

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she stopped suddenly.

"You're going to beat your cousin to death for a cheap girl with unknown origins?"

"Why are you so cruel? Her father and your father are brothers!"

"You don't defend her, but you help outsiders bully her. Are you still a member of the Yang family? Do you still care about any family ties?"

Ms. Liu put one hand on her hips and pointed at Yang Ruoqing's nose with the other hand, shouting a question.

Yang Ruoqing looked coldly at Ms. Liu, who was half shorter than herself, and then raised her hand to push away her finger that was about to poke her nose.

"I call you Fourth Aunt to give you face. I call you this because my father and Fourth Uncle are brothers. Don't rely on your old age to act like you!" Yang Ruoqing spoke up.

"You came here with your eyes closed to accuse them. Then you know that your He'er let the dog do the killing and bit Dabao and Xiaoduo."

"Mianmian and Baobao were also very frightened. He'er didn't have the slightest attitude of admitting his mistake. In order to protect the dog, he said bad words to Xiaoduo and me."

"Isn't it just a dog? A dog's life is more important than the human lives of our children?"

"Fourth Aunt, if you have the strength to make trouble here without reason, you should go back and properly discipline your ignorant girl!" Yang Ruoqing said loudly.

Mrs. Liu was speechless by Yang Ruoqing's words.

"No matter what I say, you shouldn't have spanked her. Your face is swollen. It's your fault!" Mrs. Liu said again.

Yang Ruoqing sneered: "I hit her because she deserved to be hit!"

"Not only do I want to beat her, I also want to sue you for compensation!"

"Compensation?" Mrs. Liu was surprised, "What do you mean?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "Xiaoduo and Dabao were bitten, you will have to pay for the medical expenses, and you will have to pay for the nutritional expenses to replenish the body,"

"They were frightened, and you still have to pay for mental damages," she said.

"What?" Mrs. Liu thought she heard wrongly.

It's not unusual for a farmer's family to be bitten by a dog. Wouldn't it be enough to beat the dog and give him some eggs?

Why are there so many expenses?
