“Master Li, you must hate my father now, right? Are you planning to report to the authorities immediately after we leave?” Gu Nian sneered. “However, I’d advise you not to. My second brother’s injuries are much more serious than yours. Besides, you were the ones at fault in this matter. Even if you were to go to the authorities, it’s not certain who would be punished. My father is the pillar of our family. If the pillar is gone, the house will collapse. As for how many people will die if the house collapses, they can only blame their bad luck, don’t you think?”

Undeniably, that was what Master Li had been thinking. However, after hearing Gu Nian’s words, he suddenly shivered in the hot weather.

He looked at the girl in front of him. She was young and had a tender face, but her words were like ice knives. Each sentence was like a stab to death.

Master Li suddenly remembered a tragedy he had heard about a few days ago. He heard that a village had drowned a woman who had committed adultery and given birth to a child. The woman had a son who was only a few years old. At night, he poured several bags of rat poison into the only well in the village, killing more than ten villagers.

The rumor said the child who killed the villagers was wanted for many days. He has yet to be caught.

Were children nowadays all so devilish?

Master Li’s desire for revenge was gone in an instant. It disappeared without a trace.

Dahu had already walked out of the door, but when he turned around, he did not see Gu Nian following him. He called out, “Sister, what are you doing?”

“I’m coming. Big Brother, wait for me.” Gu Nian’s gloomy expression was replaced by a bright smile as she stood up.

Master Li looked at the little girl who changed her face as fast as turning a page in a book. He was even sure that Gu Nian was a little demon in his heart.

As Dahu saw Gu Nian coming out, he quickly picked up the bucket with the pig’s offal. “Little Sister, why are you taking so long behind?”

“Nothing much. I was trying to reason with that uncle. I told him not to accuse anyone else in the future.” Gu Nian picked up the piece of meat that was tied up by the hemp rope and ran after Lin Sanshui.

Dahu could not help but laugh. He thought Gu Nian was a child, and her mind was simple.

How could a selfish person like Master Li be persuaded by a few words?

People have a lot of troubles when they grow up. In this world, there are schemes everywhere, and Dahu was no different when working in the restaurant.

After spending money to please the chef, he became an apprentice. However, his master was on guard against Dahu for fear that Dahu would steal his skills. Therefore, he only allowed Dahu to do some simple work. The others also had their precautions. If Dahu did something wrong, he would be scolded. If Dahu performed outstandingly, he would be ostracized.

Dahu shook its head to shake away these worrying thoughts.

He could only fully relax when he was at home. He did not have to please others and worry about offending others.

“Father, it’s still a long way to go home. Why don’t we rent an ox cart?” Gu Nian asked as she walked up to Lin Sanshui.

Renting an ox cart would cost more than a dozen large sums of money.

However, today’s situation was special. Lin Sanshui had earned some money. In addition, his son was injured, so he stood in place and waited for Dahu to catch up. “Dahu, I will take Erhu to the clinic to see a doctor. Go and rent an ox cart. We will wait for you at the door of the clinic.”

Lin Sanshui couldn’t take out any silver while carrying Erhu, so he told Dahu to take it.
