Tian Sisi fiercely beat up the other girl while cursing, "You’re the bastard, you were born from your mama and Zhu Bajie - a wild bastard."
Tian Sisi was also extremely angry and speaking without restraint. Others found it somewhat amusing, but Tang Qiubai watched Tian Sisi closely, also glancing at Tian Xinhua’s expression. It seems what that plump girl said was true. Who would have thought that Tian Sisi, who looked like a little princess, could actually be an abandoned baby? It’s unbelievable.
Both of them were soaked, with Gao Hongmei lying in the water and Tian Sisi straddling her, one hand grabbing the hairband around her neck, the other continuously pinching her fat. Tian Sisi’s small body kept bouncing up and down like riding a horse, shaking Gao Hongmei so much that she was rolling her eyes. Mama, this Tian Sisi is not to be messed with; she’s fierce in a fight!
After watching the fight for a while, Tian Xinhua then said to stop, "Ah Nan, it’s time we head home, don’t dirty your hands by killing her."
Gao Hongmei, upon hearing Tian Xinhua’s words, felt another surge of anger, but she no longer had the strength to curse. Tian Sisi also ran out of energy, and after sitting heavily down on Gao Hongmei’s body, prompting Gao Hongmei to let out a groan as if she was almost about to pass out, Tian Sisi finally stood up satisfied, staggered toward Tian Xinhua.
Tian Xinhua looked at the drenched little girl, his heart aching, and quickly took off his coat to cover Tian Sisi, leaving himself in a striped undershirt.
Zhong Anping was also amused by the scene, never expecting the delicate-looking girl to fight so fiercely, like a little tigress. But Gao Hongmei did deserve the beating, as insulting someone doesn’t mean exposing their secrets, and hitting someone doesn’t mean hitting the face. She instead took it too far, broadcasting the public secret of Yuequan Village. One wonders if Sisi can handle it.
"Gao Hongmei, go back and tell your daddy, Gao Yuzhu, that we, the Tian Family, remember the ’kindness’ you’ve shown us, and we will surely return it doubled," Tian Xinhua coldly said a few words to Gao Hongmei, who had been helped up, scaring her into shivers; her body was cold, but her heart was colder.
Zhong Anping shared some of the loaches and snails with Tian Xinhua, and then they went their separate ways. On the way home, Zhong Anmei curiously asked her brother, "Big brother, is it true that Sisi was adopted by the Tian Family?"
"Yes, almost everyone in Yuequan Village knows about it. It’s an open secret here. I didn’t expect Gao Yumei, that idiot, to spill it. I wonder how the Tian Family is handling it now." Zhong Anping was a bit worried.
Carrying the powerless Tian Sisi, Tian Xinhua asked worriedly, "Ah Nan, are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?"
"No, achoo, I’m fine, achoo!" Tian Sisi sneezed twice loudly, seemingly catching a cold. Her body really wasn’t resilient; a little soaking and she caught cold. Sigh, we should prepare some ginger brown sugar water when we get back.
Tian Xinhua was also worried; just as Ah Nan was getting better, she shouldn’t fall ill again. He told Qinghua and the others to follow slowly while he carried Tian Sisi and ran back. Donghua and the others were a bit dazed; the information Gao Hongmei had revealed was just too shocking. Why wasn’t Sister one of the Tian Family?
The Old Man had just woken up from a nap and was startled to see his drenched granddaughter. "What happened? Ah Nan, did you fall into the water?"
Tian Xinhua shook his head, then nodded, leaving the Old Man completely confused.
Granny Zhao, who heard the commotion, hurried over and seeing Tian Sisi’s condition, she cursed, "You damn girl, I told you not to go into the water, and yet you insist on doing so. Look at you, drenched again. Ai Qing, go get Ah Nan some dry clothes to change into, and I will make her some ginger brown sugar water to sweat it out."
The old lady grumpily went to the kitchen to prepare the ginger brown sugar water. Zhu Aiqing brought dry clothes over and seeing Tian Sisi’s condition, she was also exasperated, "You really can’t stay out of trouble for even a day, can you?"
Yet for all the scolding, Zhu Aiqing still led Tian Sisi to the room to change clothes and wiped her hair dry. In the living room, Tian Xinhua briefly explained what happened, and finally, he asked with concern, "Great-grandpa, now that Ah Nan knows her identity, will she be upset?"
The Old Man pondered for a long while, then sighed deeply, "This couldn’t have been kept a secret forever. I had planned to tell Ah Nan the truth when she was a bit older, but now that the cat’s out of the bag because of the Gao Family’s girl, might as well tell Ah Nan everything as it is."
