As she spoke, Yang Chuxia jumped in front of Ms. Luo and grabbed her clothes, trying to shove her into a nearby water barrel. "What’s with all of you learning from my past and wanting to beat people up? Take a look at yourselves first before you dare to stop someone from calling a doctor!"
Yang Chuxia beat and scolded the couple, only stopping when she felt tired herself.
She kicked Yang Xiaochuan lying on the side and warned, "I’m warning you, stop having such twisted ideas, or Yang Xiao’an and your dead mother will be your fate. Don’t talk to me about blood ties and family affection. Those are only for the sake of the Old Master. Once he’s gone, you’re nothing to me."
Pausing for a moment, she patted Yang Xiaochuan’s face and continued, "You better pray that the Old Master lives longer, that way I can treat you a bit better. But once he’s gone, hmph, you think I’ll forget about all the things you’ve done to my dad? I’m only holding back because of the Old Master. Understand?"
Could Yang Xiaochuan dare to say he didn’t understand? This girl was ruthless, hitting people without hesitation and always getting beaten in return.
Seeing Yang Xiaochuan nod, Yang Chuxia wiped her hands on his body and stood up to go home.
But suddenly, she was halted in her tracks by Ms. Liu’s scream.
"Dongzhi, my Dongzhi hasn’t come back yet!"
Ms. Liu was enjoying watching Yang Chuxia beat up the couple, even cheering from the side. But she suddenly realized that Yang Dongzhi, who went out to call Uncle Cai, hadn’t come back.
Uncle Cai was called by Yang Dachuan, after all.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia felt that something was wrong.
"Are you out of your mind? Your daughter hasn’t come back yet, and you only think of it now? What am I supposed to say to you!"
Yang Chuxia turned to kick Yang Xiaochuan and Ms. Luo, "Both of you get up and go find her now!"
Ms. Luo and Yang Xiaochuan were relieved to hear that Yang Dongzhi hadn’t come back yet, thinking that it served the fierce girl right. But they didn’t dare say it aloud and hobbled out to look for her instead.
Ms. Liu suddenly thought of the two girls from Cai Xia’s family and started to cry, "My daughter, Xiaxia, do you think Dongzhi might have been kidnapped too? Xiaxia, what do I do!"
"What’s the use of crying now? Go find her!" Yang Chuxia was getting anxious now.
Yang Dongzhi had gone out to call the doctor for Old Yang. It wouldn’t be good if something actually happened to her, or Chuxia would never forgive herself.
"You go into the village and look for her while I go to Grandpa Land Officer’s house to ask him for help."
With that, Yang Chuxia ran out and headed straight for Land Officer Yang’s house. Land Officer Yang had just gone to bed when he heard Yang Chuxia knocking on the door outside, so he asked Yang Dayong to open it.
"Xiaxia, what happened?" Hearing the loud knocking and Yang Chuxia’s voice, Yang Dayong quickly opened the door and asked.
"Uncle Dayong, please tell Grandpa Land Officer and the people in the village to help find Dongzhi. She went out to call a doctor for my grandpa but hasn’t come back yet."
Upon hearing this, Yang Dayong’s face turned pale. A girl missing at this hour could be dangerous. He might not have thought this way on any ordinary day, but with young girls going missing around the town and villages lately, he couldn’t help but think the worst.
"I’ll go call my dad right away!"
