Mysteries of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 74: Yin Tian Yin Yue (2)

The three were about to sit down to eat noodles when there was a commotion outside the courtyard and a high-pitched, sharp female voice pierced their ears: "You little bastard, how dare you bully our Dabao!"

The gate of the courtyard was kicked open by a middle-aged fat woman. The fat woman was leading a half-grown boy, who was the boy who had just led the bullying of Xiaotian.

The fat woman kicked the bench over without saying a word, pulled Dabao behind her, rolled up the child's sleeves, looked for blood but couldn't find any, then looked again carefully, and finally found a trace of almost invisible blood. To put it bluntly, if she had come any later, the wound would probably have healed.

The fat woman glared at him and cursed, "How are you going to compensate me for the way your little bastard scratched my Dabao's arm?"

Yin Tian was so scared that he hid behind A Niang, but Yin Yue looked fearless.

Ah Niang protected Yin Tian with her hands. Ah Niang was not annoyed by what the fat woman said. She squatted down, took Xiao Tian's hand, touched his head, and asked gently: "Xiao Tian, ​​what's going on? Tell me, don't be afraid. Ah Niang wants to hear you talk."

"What else do you want to ask?" The fat woman interrupted, looking like she was about to eat someone. "It was this little bastard who scratched our hearts like this!"

Xiaoyue glared at the fat woman coldly: "It was my mother who asked Xiaotian, not you! Why are you butting in?"

That glare made the fat woman shudder. She swallowed hard. This was not the look a child should have! But the fat woman didn't want to lose face. She said with a guilty conscience, "How dare you, little kid, talk to your elders like that?"

Xiaoyue looked at her indifferently, her eyes calm yet unfathomable. She whispered softly, "If you interrupt again, I'll poison you and make you mute!"

The fat woman was frightened by being looked at, her mouth was dry, and she couldn't say a word. After all, this Miao woman really has this ability. Although this girl is small, she is really not easy to mess with!
Ah Niang glanced at Xiaoyue and said in a surprised tone, "Xiaoyue, you can't be so rude."

Xiaoyue snorted and turned her head away. Although she didn't say anything, her face was full of dissatisfaction. They've been bullied to the point of being a nobody, and she can't even resist?
The fat woman already felt a little guilty, and when she was glared at, she suddenly recalled the rumors in the village and regretted coming. Her father-in-law had said before that Miao women looked weak, but were actually very powerful! There were some strange witchcraft and sorcery practices in the Miao region, and these were passed down to daughters, not sons. Now there were two daughters in her family! Who knew what they would do? She told her not to mess with this family.

It was said that Yin Ke, the eldest son of the Yin family, had been away on business for over a decade. Three months ago, due to a serious illness, he was sent back to Yinjia Village, along with the Miao woman and two children. Yin Yi passed away less than ten days after his return, leaving him no time to provide for the orphaned and widowed mother.

The villagers who had previously occupied his family's land and ancestral home all shouted that this unlucky woman and her child should be thrown out of the village. Later, no one knew how the woman had managed to get half of the land back. Although she didn't get the ancestral home back, she did get the village chief to renovate the small courtyard on the edge of the village for the three of them to live in.

The fat woman's father-in-law is the village chief. Naturally, he had swallowed up a lot of land. This time, he had to spit out the fat meat he had got. The fat woman was very dissatisfied and found this excuse to make trouble for them.

Xiaotian's eyes were filled with tears and he was a little frightened: "I...that injury...was caused by me scratching...but, it was he who dropped my puppy to death!" After that, Xiaotian burst into tears.

A'niang squatted there, comforting him softly.

"Look, he said it himself. He was the one who caught our Dabao. What do you think of the compensation?" The fat woman said with her hands on her hips, bluffing.

Xiaoyue patted Xiaotian on the back to comfort him, then slowly stood up, turned around, and looked at the fat woman coldly: "Our Xiaotian is a genuine descendant of the Yin family. You said he was a little bastard. Do you mean that the Yin family's direct descendants are bastards? If the spirits of the Yin ancestors in heaven heard this, I wonder what they would think. Would they be so angry that the coffin lid would not cover it? I wonder if they would still bless your family's... illegitimate little bastard?"

"Or do you want to just send down a calamity? If the ancestors get angry and stop blessing this child, then this child will have a rough life. As a mother, don't you really regret it? Secondly, your child pinned our Xiaotian into the dirt and beat him, and even threw our dog to death. How are you going to settle this?"

Ah Niang pulled Xiaoyue to stop her, and then she groveled and said something nice: "Sister-in-law of the Yin family, this child has no sense of severity. I will definitely teach him a lesson. Please forgive the little girl and don't bother with the child, okay?"

Xiaoyue said angrily, "Mom, there's no point reasoning with people like that. We don't cause trouble, but we're definitely not afraid of it either. If someone bullies us, don't hesitate, just fight back! A kind horse is ridden, and a kind person is bullied. The weaker you are, the more aggressive they will become. Hit them once, scare them, hurt them, break their bones, and they'll never dare to do it again!"

Xiaoyue seemed to be talking to her mother, but she was actually talking to the fat woman.

The fat woman was so angry that her face turned the color of liver. She pointed at Xiaotian's mother's nose and cursed: "Good! You are a jinx, a jinx who brings bad luck to your husband! You bring misfortune to your family! The villagers should really kick you out of the village!"

Xiaoyue raised her head and said slowly, "I advise you to give up this idea. We had already agreed with the village chief and the respected elders of the clan that Yinjia Village would raise us until we were eighteen years old. The land we didn't ask for back would be their upbringing. If you really don't want us to stay in the village, then fine, then just convert those lands into silver and give them to us, and we'll leave now! I'm just afraid the village chief and the elders won't agree!"

The fat woman didn't know there was such a relationship, and was a little embarrassed and speechless for a moment. At this time, Dabao looked like a loser, tugged at the fat woman's clothes and said, "Mom, I want noodles and fried eggs!"

The fat woman saw the fragrant noodles on the table and was about to take some, but suddenly she remembered the rumors in the village about Miao women casting spells. She retracted her outstretched hand, grabbed Dabao's hand, and said angrily, "Let's go home!"

Dabao shook off the fat woman's hand, leaned against the small table, and stared at the bowl of noodles.

Xiaoyue smiled brightly and looked at Dabao provocatively, "Little Fatty, do you dare to eat it? I've put a poison on you, do you believe it? It will make you bleed from all seven orifices and your skin will fester and you will die! How would you like to die?"
