Over there, Little Fatty beat his opponent until his nose was blue and his face was swollen, finally regaining a bit of reason. When he turned his head and saw his sister being held with blood on her mouth, his face turned pale with fright.
"Sis, what happened to your mouth?" he asked urgently, coming over in a fluster.
"Her front tooth got knocked out," Xiu Xun answered, pointing to a still bloody tooth on the ground to explain.
Little Fatty stared at the tooth on the ground and then at Ruan Jiaojiao’s pitiful state, his mind went blank. He thought it was all over, not to mention his grandmother would kill him, even his brothers wouldn’t let him off. Pain and rage surged into his head together, and he turned back and viciously kicked the person lying behind him again.
"Xiaoba, didn’t I tell you to take your sister home? You..." Ruan Jie, who heard the commotion at the entrance of the village, walked over quickly and lost his voice when he saw the state Ruan Jiaojiao was in.
"Bro, that bastard bullied our sis!" Little Fatty, having seen Ruan Jie and the others, finally found some backbone and pointed at the person who had been beaten down to complain.
Ruan Jie wasn’t in the mood to focus on this right now. He walked quickly to Ruan Jiaojiao’s side and, seeing her face covered in dirt and blood, his brows furrowed tightly. He wanted to hold her but didn’t dare to touch her, feeling that she was so fragile she might break.
Ruan Jiaojiao had been crying this whole time and the foreign matter in her eyes had mostly drained, but her eyes still hurt terribly, and she didn’t dare to open them, just lightly sobbing while covering her eyes.
She felt today was just too unlucky, how did she end up knocking out her tooth? How was she going to face people in the future?
"Let’s take her home first," Xiu Xun was the first to break the silence.
Ruan Jie nodded and led the way forward, while Ruan Feng picked up the person Ruan Lei had knocked down, struggled to recognize him, and then realized it was Xiu Cheng from next door.
Ruan Qun snatched the candy he was holding in his arms, with a few pieces also falling on the ground, now dirty with mud and beyond saving. Angry, he also kicked Xiu Cheng.
"Go!" Little Fatty kicked Xiu Cheng’s butt and urged him to move forward.
Xiu Cheng had been beaten badly, but he didn’t dare to cry, just whimpered softly.
When they reached the Ruan Family’s doorstep, he finally dared to raise his neck and howl, "Mom, Mom..."
Liu Mei, hearing the noise and holding a broom, came out cursing. Her face was initially impatient, but as soon as she saw Xiu Cheng’s bruised face, she dropped the broom and ran over.
"Son, what happened to you, who bullied you?"
"Mom, it was them, they ganged up and bullied me!" Xiu Cheng pointed at the Ruan Family people.
"Are you trying to kill yourselves, why would you bully my child and beat him , are you out of your minds?" Hearing this, Liu Mei put her hands on her hips and started yelling.
Ruan Jie made a gesture to Xiu Xun, who then led Ruan Jiaojiao into the Ruan Family’s courtyard first. The Ruanlin Family matriarch, already heading outside after hearing the noise, reached the middle of the courtyard just in time to see Ruan Jiaojiao being led in by Xiu Xun.
"My goodness," the Ruanlin Family matriarch’s face changed dramatically, and she hurriedly ran up.
Ruan Jianguo, who was chatting and smoking on the side, also saw what happened. He quickly threw the cigarette butt down and stamped it out before following.
Upon hearing the matriarch’s voice, Ruan Jiaojiao, who had stopped crying, couldn’t hold it back any longer. With a sob, tears flowed first, and she stretched out her little arms, never having felt so wronged before, "Grandma..." I chipped my tooth!
The Ruanlin Family matriarch’s heart truly ached.
She was fine when she went out; how did she come back covered in blood?
"Grandma Ruanlin, Ruan Jiaojiao got mud thrown in her eyes. You should hurry and wash her eyes, and also, she took a fall and knocked out her front tooth," Xiu Xun said on the side, explaining while twisting the knife in Ruan Jiaojiao’s little heart.
