Chapter 3: Everyone Is a Villain

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although Dong Man looked like a big tigress, she was obedient to her mother’s words. When her mother said that it was enough and told her to stop hitting Dong Xing, she got up.

When she got up, she saw that Dong Xing was still cursing. She raised her leg and hit the other girl’s calf, making her scream heart-wrenchingly.

After Dong Man finished kicking, she glared fiercely at Dong Nuan before returning to her mother’s side.

The mother and daughter had come and left aggressively, leaving Dong Xing lying on the ground, cursing and gasping.

Her face had already been slapped twice by Dong Nuan, and she had also been beaten up a few times by Dong Man. At this moment, not only did the corners of her mouth hurt, but her teeth also hurt. She wondered if Dong Man had knocked them out.

The old lady could not bear to watch anymore. Coupled with her bad mood, her words were not pleasant. “Alright, Second Brother’s family can take care of their own messes.”

After saying that, she did not forget to raise her voice. “Stop looking, stop looking! Why? So we’re the only family who’s messed up, huh?”

When the villagers saw the old lady’s fierce expression, they knew she was about to get angrier. They dispersed with a smile.

In any case, the most interesting part of the squabble was over. It was fine as long as there was something to talk about for the rest of the afternoon. As for future developments?

That was a matter to be resolved behind closed doors in Dong Erzhuang’s house. Whether they talked about it more or not no longer affected the villagers’ gossip.

The villagers who were watching the commotion quickly dispersed, but Dong Erzhuang’s house was still in the eye of the storm. The old lady’s expression was so ugly that it was dripping with hatred.

Seeing this, Dong Nuan quietly slipped back to the west room and closed the door behind her. She lay down on the small broken bed in the room and ignored the noise outside. She was too lazy to care. Anyway, her head was injured, and she would tell anyone who asked that she had a headache.

It was not that Dong Nuan was afraid of this family, but that she knew she would have to take the blame. If the real Dong Nuan was present, then she would get the blame.

Her father was unreliable, and her mother was even more unreliable.

The original owner of this body had an unfortunate family. Grandpa looked like he did not care about anything, but in fact, he knew very well that as long as nothing big happened, he would not need to speak up. He just watched as the old lady tortured herself in silence.

However, without his approval, could the old lady do whatever she wanted?

Of course not!

Eldest Uncle Dong’s family was scheming to the core. As soon as today’s incident cleared up slightly, Eldest Aunt found an excuse to go out. No one knew where Eldest Uncle Dong went. Even the children in Eldest Uncle’s family were not at home to watch the commotion.

There were no other men in Second Uncle Dong’s family, but Second Aunt could beat everyone in the family with Dong Xing’s presence. She did not need a man to do it.

The third branch of the Dong family was Dong Nuan’s family. It was true that her father was unreliable. The father of the original owner’s daughter was called Dong Sanchun. Although he had an honest face, he did not do honest things.

Of course, only Dong Nuan understood the situation. Her father did not have things easy. He had to work hard every day, so she had to work too and lighten the burden on her father and mother.

Dong Sanchun was very serious and diligent, but the results of his work were never as good as what the other Dong brothers did.

As for the original owner’s mother?

Hah!

Did you not see that when Dong Nuan was being scolded, she was hugging her son and enjoying the breeze at the door? She had no intention to retaliate against Second Aunt’s curses.

However, if Second Aunt was scolding the precious son in her arms, then this weak-looking woman would definitely fight her sister-in-law back.

To put it bluntly, the most important thing to Dong Nuan’s mother was her only son. The three girls who were born first did not matter at all. They were worthless and could be treated like dirt by the entire family.

Just as she was thinking about these people from the Dong family, she heard the sound of knocking on the broken wooden door. The person who came to call for help was the original owner’s mother, Madam Dong Wu. “Lil Nuan, come out quickly. Your grandmother is angry.”

“So what if Grandmother is angry? What does that have to do with me? If you made sure Dong Xing caused less trouble, Grandma would definitely not be mad right now.” Dong Nuan was too lazy to pay attention to her. As she spoke, she raised her hand to touch her head. This bandage had been wrapped by Grandmother Dong while Madam Dong Wu hugged her precious son and coaxed him the entire time, afraid that he would be frightened.

“Lil Xing didn’t do it on purpose. Your grandmother is angry because you hit Lil Xing. Come out and apologize to Grandmother and her. Then this matter will be over.” Madam Dong Wu was not hugging her precious baby anymore. The boy was getting stuffy, so he ran out to play.

Since her hands were free, she shook the door with all her might, but it did not open. She was afraid that the old lady would be angry if she shook the door, so in the end, she could only say inhumane words.

The original owner of this body was a good person. She felt that her family did not have it easy, while she was lucky, so she contributed selflessly and had no regrets…

That was not right. In the end, the young lady should have regretted it.

When she was on the verge of death, no one cared about her even though her blood relatives lived next door.

There was no news of her husband, who was far away in the capital. At that time, the young lady should have regretted it.

The bamboo spirit was not about to let these people get away. Who would have it easy?

It was not easy for it to ascend, only to be struck dead!

Therefore, Dong Nuan refuted Madam Wu’s inhumane words. “Dong Xing was the one who caused trouble for no reason. If she didn’t hit Lil Man, nothing would have happened. Now that she’s been beaten up, she deserves it.”

Madam Dong Wu, who was outside the door, probably did not expect the usually obedient girl to say such words.

Madam Dong Wu paused for a moment before saying, “We’re all family, so why are you so calculative? Come out and apologize. What happened today will then be over. Lil Nuan, listen to me.”

Dong Nuan felt that Dong Wu was a scammer.

She spoke as if they were a family and they were doing things for the sake of the family.

However, she used her family to kidnap the original owner of this body and made the original owner of the body work for the family while never receiving an ounce of gratitude.

When Dong Nuan heard this, she sneered in her heart, and her mouth did not show any mercy. “Mother is right. In the future, if Lil Man hits me again, I’ll use Dong Yao to protect me. Who cares if he gets beaten up? Dong Yao’s skin is thick, and it can withstand beatings.”

Dong Yao was the Host’s younger brother, Madam Dong Wu’s precious egg.

Madam Dongwu, who was outside the door, choked. She pounded on the door twice and lost her temper. “Lil Nuan, that’s your blood brother. You’re not just refusing to protect him, but you’re even encouraging someone to hit him? Is that how you treat your own brother?”

“That’s not what Mother said. We’re all family, so why are you so calculative? Dong Yao eats so much rice from my bowl. He can’t eat it for nothing. It’s only right for him to take a beating for Sister.” Dong Nuan retorted bluntly again.

Madam Dong Wu, who was outside the door, seemed to have been silenced. She did not speak for a long time.

Dong Nuan could not be bothered with her. She touched her flat stomach and sighed inwardly.

The original owner of the body was a poor cow. She only had two meals a day at home. This was the village’s culture. Dong Nuan could not say anything.

Regardless of whether the food was good or bad, even if the old lady was a little mean, she would always make sure the entire family had enough to eat. After all, they still had to work in the fields.

However, the host’s two meals had to be given to her by her father and her younger siblings. There was not much food in total. If each of them was given two mouthfuls first, the host would not be able to eat her fill.

Usually, when she was free, she would run up the mountain to fill up on some wild vegetables and fruits. Even then, she still had to save some for her younger siblings.

It was a pity that no one had accepted the original owner’s kindness.

“Poor thing.” Thinking of these things, Dong Nuan sighed softly. Then, she raised her right palm and moved her fingers slightly. At the same time, she closed her eyes and carefully felt the natural flow.

Not long after, two bright yellow apricots appeared in Dong Nuan’s upturned palm.
