“Mother, Mother…” Yuan Xiujie cried out.
Already in tears, he cried uncontrollably.
Raising his eyes like a fierce wolf, he stared at those people, those who drove his mother to death, “I will never forgive you. I will make lots and lots of money, and I won’t give you a single wen, not even to beggars. As for the money on the ground, whoever dares to pick it up…”
“Younger Sister, bring the axe!”
The Younger Sister immediately went to fetch the large axe from the house. “Big brother!”
Yuan Xiujie took the axe and stood up, “If anyone dares to move, I’ll take their life today!”
The old woman and her group were so scared that they took several steps back.
They hadn’t expected that the mute would suddenly speak.
That Mrs. Ai would die by crashing into a column.
The old man opened his mouth, looking at Yuan Amu and the former mute, unable to utter a word.
The village chief rushed over upon hearing the news. “What happened, what happened?”
Upon seeing the tragic state of Mrs. Ai, the village chief turned his head, staring solemnly at that family. “You, you…”
He was angry.
That someone had driven their own daughter-in-law to death.
“You are truly unworthy of being human. Even a tiger would not eat its own cub, but you are worse than animals!” He turned to fort Yuan Xiujie, “Mute, the matter at hand is your mother’s funeral. We…”
“No need. I can bury my mother myself. I still have two brothers and a sister; we can manage on our own!”
Yuan Xiujie said and had his younger sister fetch a sheet to wrap Mrs. Ai in it and hoist her onto his back.
“Mute…” the village chief said gravely.
If such a person were to make a name for himself, it would be a disaster for the whole Xiaohe Village.
Yuan Amu watched in a daze. “Mute, you, you…”
“You don’t deserve to be our father, to be my mother’s husband. Take all the money on the ground; just consider us all dead!”
After Yuan Xiujie spoke, he walked away.
The three younger siblings immediately followed him.
“Mute…” Yuan Amu called out, falling to his knees. “I, I didn’t want this, I didn’t know it would e to this…”
Yuan Xiujie didn’t look back.
One day, he was certain to return and kill that entire family, leaving none alive.
When Xie Zhinuan heard those cries, her heart trembled.
Standing at the crossroads, she looked into the village.
She exhaled softly, shaking her head helplessly. Every family has its own difficult scripture to read.
After standing for a long time, Routuan started barking, bringing Xie Zhinuan back to her senses. She crouched down to pet its head, about to call it home, when she saw the mute leading the three younger siblings, carrying something on his back.
And there was a smell of blood.
“Mute, it’s getting dark. Where are you all going?” Xie Zhinuan couldn’t help but ask.
Routuan barked again.
“Routuan!” Xie Zhinuan scolded.
Routuan nestled close to her legs, warily watching the approaching group.
“…” Yuan Xiujie didn’t initially want to respond, for he was carrying his mother, whose death was a ghastly sight.
He was afraid of startling Xie Zhinuan.
“Sister Xie!”
“…” Xie Zhinuan was taken aback, both shocked and delighted. “You can speak?” She suddenly thought of something. “Did one of you get hurt? Were you beaten?”
“…”
“…”
Yuan Xiujie paused before saying, “My mother, my mother is dead!”
“…”
Xie Zhinuan’s eyes widened in shock.
She didn’t know the mute’s mother, nor had she ever seen her.
But she had heard from the Younger Sister that she was a very gentle woman.
“Then you all, you…” Xie Zhinuan asked.
“We are leaving. Sister Xie, I will always remember your kindness. If there’s a chance in the future, I will surely repay it!” Yuan Xiujie said solemnly.
He began to walk away, not daring to delay for fear of being pursued by the Yuan family.
“Wait!”
Xie Zhinuan called out.
