"Mom..." Seeing the person who had just entered the courtyard, Wang Ya said nothing more, letting out a sorrowful cry as she threw herself into Li Yuanyi's arms.
"What's all this? Who hit you? Is it serious?" Li Yuanyi hadn't yet figured out what was going on. Thinking her daughter had been bullied by others in the village because she didn't have a father, she grew anxious and pulled the girl closer to examine her.
The old lady glanced at the few people in the courtyard and more or less understood the situation.
"I-I'll be going now." Li Xue, who had been thoroughly put in her place, hadn't dared to leave before. Now that an adult had finally appeared, she wasn't about to wait around. What better chance would she get to leave?
And so, Li Xue slipped away along the edge of the yard, leaving only the family behind.
Wang Ya had finally found her pillar of support. She sobbed in her mother's arms, recounting all her grievances.
