As she spoke, Yang Chuxia jumped in front of Ms. Luo and grabbed her clothes, trying to shove her into a nearby water barrel. "Whatâs with all of you learning from my past and wanting to beat people up? Take a look at yourselves first before you dare to stop someone from calling a doctor!"
Yang Chuxia beat and scolded the couple, only stopping when she felt tired herself.
She kicked Yang Xiaochuan lying on the side and warned, "Iâm warning you, stop having such twisted ideas, or Yang Xiaoâan and your dead mother will be your fate. Donât talk to me about blood ties and family affection. Those are only for the sake of the Old Master. Once heâs gone, youâre nothing to me."
Pausing for a moment, she patted Yang Xiaochuanâs face and continued, "You better pray that the Old Master lives longer, that way I can treat you a bit better. But once heâs gone, hmph, you think Iâll forget about all the things youâve done to my dad? Iâm only holding back because of the Old Master. Understand?"
Could Yang Xiaochuan dare to say he didnât understand? This girl was ruthless, hitting people without hesitation and always getting beaten in return.
Seeing Yang Xiaochuan nod, Yang Chuxia wiped her hands on his body and stood up to go home.
But suddenly, she was halted in her tracks by Ms. Liuâs scream.
"Dongzhi, my Dongzhi hasnât come back yet!"
Ms. Liu was enjoying watching Yang Chuxia beat up the couple, even cheering from the side. But she suddenly realized that Yang Dongzhi, who went out to call Uncle Cai, hadnât come back.
Uncle Cai was called by Yang Dachuan, after all.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia felt that something was wrong.
"Are you out of your mind? Your daughter hasnât come back yet, and you only think of it now? What am I supposed to say to you!"
Yang Chuxia turned to kick Yang Xiaochuan and Ms. Luo, "Both of you get up and go find her now!"
Ms. Luo and Yang Xiaochuan were relieved to hear that Yang Dongzhi hadnât come back yet, thinking that it served the fierce girl right. But they didnât dare say it aloud and hobbled out to look for her instead.
Ms. Liu suddenly thought of the two girls from Cai Xiaâs family and started to cry, "My daughter, Xiaxia, do you think Dongzhi might have been kidnapped too? Xiaxia, what do I do!"
"Whatâs the use of crying now? Go find her!" Yang Chuxia was getting anxious now.
Yang Dongzhi had gone out to call the doctor for Old Yang. It wouldnât be good if something actually happened to her, or Chuxia would never forgive herself.
"You go into the village and look for her while I go to Grandpa Land Officerâs house to ask him for help."
With that, Yang Chuxia ran out and headed straight for Land Officer Yangâs house. Land Officer Yang had just gone to bed when he heard Yang Chuxia knocking on the door outside, so he asked Yang Dayong to open it.
"Xiaxia, what happened?" Hearing the loud knocking and Yang Chuxiaâs voice, Yang Dayong quickly opened the door and asked.
"Uncle Dayong, please tell Grandpa Land Officer and the people in the village to help find Dongzhi. She went out to call a doctor for my grandpa but hasnât come back yet."
Upon hearing this, Yang Dayongâs face turned pale. A girl missing at this hour could be dangerous. He might not have thought this way on any ordinary day, but with young girls going missing around the town and villages lately, he couldnât help but think the worst.
"Iâll go call my dad right away!"
