Yesterday, Gu Jin cooked all the remaining rice at home and had said she would bring back a bag of rice.
The fine rice at the supply and marketing cooperative was sixty cents a pound. Gu Jin chose a fifty-pound bag of rice, spending thirty yuan.
Such an expenditure was a rare luxury at the town’s supply and marketing cooperative.
Gu Jiajie placed the bag of rice on the beam of the bicycle, and Gu Jin sat on the rear seat as they rode towards home.
Sitting on the back seat, Gu Jin was thinking about the little wolf cub at home.
She wondered if he saw the letter she left by the pillow, if he had eaten well, or if he was studying at home.
As the bicycle approached the village entrance, the speed slowed down.
Gu Jiajie stared at the village entrance, "Xiao Jin, is that Xiao An?"
Upon hearing Xiao An, Gu Jin hugged the suitcase in her hands and tilted her head to look forward.
With one glance, her previously smiling eyes instantly turned cold, her gaze icy.
Without a word, she jumped off the bike, threw the suitcase to the ground, and dashed towards the village entrance.
There, she saw the child she had carefully nurtured being beaten by a crowd.
The situation was even more tragic than the day she was reborn. Two kids were restraining the little wolf cub’s arms, leaving him no chance to escape as he helplessly endured the hits.
The child’s mouth was red from the slaps, and his face was swollen.
Seeing this scene, Gu Jin’s eyes turned red. She rushed forward and kicked the kids, sending each one flying.
She only used a fraction of her strength, but it was enough for those kids to suffer.
The restraint on An Mingji was released, and he went berserk, charging at the kids.
He kicked them with his feet and slapped their faces with his hands, making the children cry incessantly.
An Mingji stopped his actions, staring at the bullies who now lay on the ground in fear, his eyes red, emitting a desperate wail.
No one knew, but for a moment, he wanted to kill these kids.
Why did they bully him? He never provoked them. Why couldn’t they leave him alone?
An Mingji’s emotions were out of control, especially when he saw Liu Dapeng lying on the ground, only able to bear his kicks. He squatted down and fiercely grasped the other’s neck with his hands.
"Ugh... let, let go!"
Desperately gasping for fresh air, Liu Dapeng writhed his chubby body, trying to break free from An Mingji.
But the attacker had already lost himself in madness.
"What are you still watching for? Separate them!" Gu Jiajie shouted anxiously, riding his bicycle as he saw the scene.
Seeing his cousin standing still, he parked the bike and intended to intervene.
Gu Jin grabbed him, staring intently at An Mingji and Liu Dapeng.
She recognized the boy An Mingji was choking as the son of the village bully, Liu Lao’er, who bullied An Mingji on the first day of her rebirth.
Gu Jiajie saw the intense look on An Mingji’s face and the changing color on Liu Dapeng’s face, urging, "Xiao Jin, if you don’t stop them, something will happen soon!"
Gu Jin released his sleeve and walked towards An Mingji.
As she passed by the other kids, they all showed fearful expressions.
She glanced at them and said coldly, "If you don’t want to die, get lost! If I ever see you bullying Xiao An again, I’ll make sure you’re bedridden for life!"
It was not an empty threat.
When she saw those kids beating the little wolf cub, she genuinely wanted them to disappear.
