This sentence instantly stunned Chiang Xiao on the spot!
The person who had come was none other than Aunt Juan.
Perhaps because she had run too fast, she was panting nonstop. Not bothering to enter the main room, she leaned against the door frame, gasping and calling out to her in a frantic hurry.
"Hurry, go! They’re still surrounding them. When I left, they were so agitated. They blocked your grandpa and grandma, and there’s another one, is he your granduncle?"
Upon hearing these words, Xu Linjiang and Zhao Xin also stood up abruptly.
"Aunt Juan, where are they?"
Chiang Xiao didn’t wait to ask for details, like who it was or how many people there were. She felt a fire suddenly flare up to the top of her head and immediately rushed out.
Zhao Xin and Xu Linjiang had not yet reacted when she had already run far away.
At the same time, a thought flashed through their minds: How can Chiang Xiao run so fast?
But there was no time for them to wonder. They didn’t even have time to greet Aunt Juan and immediately took off running after her.
Along the way, the two strapping young men watched, wide-eyed, as Chiang Xiao sprinted ahead. Even though they were running as fast as they could, they just couldn’t catch up with her.
She was like a girl chasing the wind!
Chiang Xiao was frantic with urgency.
This had never happened before!
Although the villagers often cursed their family over Chiang Qingzhu’s issue, the members of the Old Chiang family also bullied them relentlessly. But no one had ever really assaulted anyone before!
What on earth had happened now, and who had hit her grandma?
Chiang Xiao was seething with anger and didn’t notice her own speed.
All she wanted was to be faster, even faster.
Although she was disappointed with her grandparents, they were still her elders, her closest kin, and their affection for her was not false!
She absolutely would not allow anyone to bully them again! Soon, she could see a few people huddled far away. She didn’t see her grandparents but noticed a bullock cart nearby, which they must have rented.
The cart was loaded with several baskets of wild vegetables and mushrooms, and the rabbit as well. On the other side of Nameless Creek, the wild boar was by the stream, clearly visible from this side.
Chiang Xiao had already taken in the situation. At this sight, blood rushed to her head, making her abruptly lose her cool, her eyes turning bright red.
She saw her grandma lying on the ground, her face a ghastly shade, her eyes tightly shut, while her grandpa was half-kneeling and half-crouching on the ground struggling to lift her. But his own back injury made it difficult for him to exert any strength. His face was also pale with desperation as he looked at Ho Laidi and Song Xiyun standing not far off, impotently pleading with them in anguished helplessness.
"Elder sister-in-law, Baoguo’s wife, please come help. Ah Tao has a bad heart; she could die at any moment!"
Ho Laidi and Song Xiyun stood a good distance away, huddled together, showing no sign of movement.
Ho Laidi even curled her lip and said, "Chiang Laoer, we’re villagers here. You’re siding with outsiders to steal from our village. Who else can you blame?"
On the other side, four men were holding back Ge Dejun, who was desperately trying to break free. Another man kept kicking the back of his knee, cursing irritably, "Damn you! I told you to kneel! Stealing game and ending up in Siyang Village!"
He kicked with considerable force, but Ge Dejun was stubborn, his face flushed with anger as he yelled at them, "You sons of turtles! Even a woman you’re willing to beat! Let me go! If anything happens to my sister, I’ll make you pay with your lives!"
