Chapter 73 Going home

Yun Jiao realized that this environment didn't have much of an impact on her eyes.

They were a few teenagers mixed in with the crowd.

Her brother was inside too.

After smashing the people, they ran away.

Yun Jiao asked her father to put her down so she could run after them.

"Hahaha... I hit it! I hit it!"

"I hit it too."

"Now you're not sad anymore, are you? We've avenged you."

Shen Xiuyuan said to a skinny little boy beside him.

The little boy sniffed: "When did I get sad? I don't even like my aunt."

He pursed his lips: "But I like that drunken uncle even less than my aunt!"

Yun Xiaowu: "Jiaojiao, what brings you here?"

Yun Jiao: "I came here with you guys."

Under the night sky, Yun Jiao, with her exquisitely beautiful features, looked exceptionally lovely, captivating many of the young boys present.

What a pretty little girl, I love her.

Of course, they are still young, and their liking is simply a love for beautiful things.

The skinny little boy suddenly jumped up: "My dad and grandpa are here, I want to go see them."

He then ran back into the crowd, and the other children followed.

Yun Xiaowu, holding his younger sister's hand, and several older brothers led her to make a path, squeezing between the adults' legs, and then occupying the best front-row spot for watching the show.

"Shen Jiantong, you bastard! You cheated on me and even beat up my sister! Do you think we have no one left to rely on?!"

When Shen Cuimei's family arrived and saw her condition, they began to verbally abuse Shen Jiantong.

My first thought was to take action, but the smell on Shen Jiantong made me unable to bring myself to do it.

In the end, he found a wooden stick and started fighting with him.

When Shen Jiantong's parents arrived and saw that their son had been beaten, they immediately started cursing and hitting Shen Cuimei's family.

Everyone protects their own child.

The scene was in chaos.

To avoid getting covered in Shen Jiantong's excrement, Yun Xiaowu and the others pulled Yun Jiao out a little further.

In the end, it was the village chief and several elders in the village who came and stopped the farce.

At this time, Yun Jiao also returned home with her father and mother.

It was someone else's business, so everyone just chatted about it when they sat down together, criticizing Shen Jiantong for not being a man, and then it was over.

The next morning, Yun Jiao was woken up and dressed while she was still half asleep.

They are ready to go home.

The Shen family was extremely reluctant to part with him.

Shen Xiuwen held Yun Jiao's hand and said, "Auntie, why don't you let my sister stay at my house when you go back?"

Shen Yunlian: "No, Jiaojiao has to come home with us. She can't stay here forever."

Shen Xiuwen: "This is also Jiaojiao's home."

Yun Xiaowu: "Even if you are my cousin, you can't take my sister away from me. My sister must come home with us."

Yun Jiaonuo comforted him, "Cousin, I will come with my mother and sisters again next time. You can also come to my house with your grandfather and uncles."

Grandma and Grandpa Shen were busy outside, filling their baskets with many things.

Yun Linhai: "That's enough, that's enough, father-in-law and mother-in-law, that's too much."

Grandma Shen: "What's so great about it? It's all worthless stuff."

As she spoke, Grandma Shen stuffed a piece of cured meat, which she had always been reluctant to eat, into the food.

"This is unacceptable, this is really unacceptable."

"Here you go, you brought so much seafood too."

Grandpa Shen came out carrying the newly woven straw mat he had made.

"Lin Hai, come here, take this too. Jiao Jiao is afraid of the heat, this will help her stay cool on her bed."

Yun Jiao just came out and touched the bamboo mat with her little hand.

Did Grandpa braid it for Jiaojiao?

Grandpa Shen nodded: "Jiaojiao is sleeping comfortably."

Yun Jiao felt a warmth in her heart. Merfolk are all solitary ocean hunters. After the age of ten, their parents go their separate ways and don't care about the life or death of the little merfolk. They may never see them again in their lives. The little merfolk's survival depends entirely on luck and their own abilities.

Therefore, there are very few merfolk in the deep sea.

Human kinship is a strange yet deeply moving emotion. "Thank you, Grandpa. I will come to visit you often."

Upon hearing this, the Shen family members all smiled broadly.

In the end, the two baskets that were full when we arrived were almost full when we left.

The basket contained several watermelons, eggs, and some grain.

Several chicks, ducklings, and goslings were put into a bamboo basket and carried away.

Yun Jiao was also holding a small bamboo basket containing two little rabbits, one black and one white.

After they left, Grandma Shen discovered the money that had been hidden under the teacup.

It's obvious who put it there without even having to guess.

"You brat, you brought money with you along with some grain, as if you were afraid we wouldn't accept it and would put it under your teacup."

Grandpa Shen frowned: "Never mind, keep it. We'll bring more gifts next time we visit our in-laws."

It's too late to catch up now.

The way back was downhill, which was much easier than going uphill, but it still took quite a bit of time.

And there were no tractors; they were unlucky enough not to encounter any tractors in the village, so they walked the entire way back.

Yun Jiao's feet were sore from walking.

But she didn't want her father to carry her; they already had enough on their backs and in their arms.

"We're back!"

Before they even reached their doorstep, Yun Xiaowu cheered.

As she smelled the sea breeze blowing from afar, Yun Jiao felt much more relaxed, and her steps became lighter.

At this time, Grandma Yun was cooking at home, while Yun Xiaoqi and Yun Xiaoba were playing marbles by the door.

Just as I was wondering when Jiaojiao and Fifth Brother would be back, I heard Yun Xiaowu's voice.

The two children were immediately delighted.

"Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, Ninth Brother!"

"Jiaojiao, your brother misses you so much!"

The two of them ran over, opened their arms, and together, bypassing Yun Xiaowu who also had his arms outstretched, picked up Yun Jiao.

Yun Xiaowu: …………

Is there no brotherly love left?!
"What is Jiaojiao holding? A rabbit!"

"So many chicks, and also ducklings and goslings!"

Wow... a watermelon, a huge watermelon!

For a moment, all that could be heard were the loud and boisterous voices of Yun Xiaoqi and Yun Xiaoba.

When Yun Jiao got home, she immediately found a small stool and sat down; she was exhausted.

She could swim in the sea all day without getting tired, but climbing mountains and walking really strains her feet.

After taking off her shoes, a pair of plump, white feet, like soft steamed buns, were revealed.

However, my toes are a bit red, and I have blisters on the soles of my feet.

"Dad, my sister has blisters on her feet."

Yun Xiaowu was the first to notice, and immediately cried out in distress.

"What should I do? It must hurt a lot!" He pouted and blew on Yun Jiao's foot.

Shen Yunlian pinched Yun Jiao's foot and looked at it, her eyes filled with heartache.

"Why didn't you say your feet hurt? You could have just let your parents hold you."

Yun Jiao pursed her lips and wiggled her toes.

"It won't hurt if you soak in the sea."

"Nonsense, how can you go into the sea? You can't go until your foot is healed."

Yun Jiao: The sky has fallen!

She felt she would recover faster in the sea.

Yun Jiao got a little temperamental and insisted on going to the sea even though she wasn't allowed to go.

but not now.

Shen Yunlian popped the blisters on her feet and washed them with salt water.

"It might hurt a little, so bear with it."

Infected by her mother's nervousness, Yun Jiao also nervously and carefully put her feet into the salt water.

But...it doesn't hurt?
She blinked.

"It doesn't hurt."
