After the two finished talking, Cheng Yue was busy germinating the seeds.

After preparing the seeds, Cheng Yue opened up a small piece of land next to the vegetable garden. She was worried about planting strawberries, watermelons and other plants outside. Even if no one came up the mountain, there would still be various birds, right?

Don't let the bird eat up the food before you even put it in your mouth.

Planting it in your own yard, at least there is someone watching it.

Fortunately, they were just a few vegetables and fruits that could be grown in the yard, but it was impossible to grow potatoes at home, so they could only be planted in the dry land outside.

After finishing these things, it was soon noon. Cheng Yue put down the hoe and shouted to the men outside to go home quickly for lunch.

We are all honest people. If we didn't shout, we would probably be bending over and working hard.

Everyone said hello to Cheng Yue and went down the mountain together, saying they would come back up after dinner.

Although I did some hard work, I drank some sugary water, which made my mouth and heart sweet, and I felt like I had endless energy.

After watching the men leave, Cheng Yue looked out the door for a while. It was already noon, and the children hadn't come back yet.

Normally at this time of year, they would have gone home long ago. After all, they lived in the mountains and there were enough wild vegetables to dig nearby, so it was impossible for them to go far.

Cheng Yue took a deep breath, still feeling a bit stuck.

Seeing Cheng Yue standing at the door with a worried look on her face for a long time, Chen An had to comfort her: "Ayue, don't worry, they can't walk far. They probably dug too many wild vegetables today, which delayed them."

After hearing what Chen An said, Cheng Yue calmed down. Their mountain was low and there were no large wild beasts, so nothing should happen.

Just as Cheng Yue was about to turn around and enter the yard, she saw several figures walking down the mountain, supporting each other. Two of them were limping, they had fallen!

Thinking of this, Cheng Yue quickened his pace and ran over.

"Mother, Aunt Cheng Yue~"

Chen Lin stood aside with his lips pursed and said nothing, Chen Tong and Chen Ning pouted their lips with tears in their eyes, and even Cuicui called her out with a look of grievance.

Among the four children, only Chen Lin was better off, but his clothes were a little messy. Sisters Chen Tong and Chen Ning both had a limp, and their clothes were obviously torn by tree branches.

Two of the four baskets on her body were missing and one was empty. There were several scratches on the exposed arm of Cuicui. It was definitely not because of a fall!

"Xiao Lin, carry Xiao Ning on your back. Xiao Tong, come up. Cuicui, come home with us too. Let's go find a village doctor first. We'll talk later if there's anything else."

No matter what happened, the child's health was the most important, so Cheng Yue carried Chen Tong on her back and rushed home.

Chen An, who was waiting at home, was shocked to see Chen Lin still able to run and jump, and hurriedly asked him to call the doctor.

The doctor examined the patient and said that there were no broken bones, just a bump on the leg, and that it would be fine after a few days of rest, so he did not prescribe any medicine.

Although the village doctor can only treat minor injuries, he is able to tell whether the injury has broken any bones.

Hearing this, Chen An finally felt relieved. As long as no bones were broken, it would be a big problem otherwise.

After the doctor left, Cheng Yue repeatedly confirmed that the few people only had scratches on their bodies. Seeing that it was indeed nothing serious, he took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "Who bullied you?"

"Mom, it was grandma! We were just about to go home after digging wild vegetables when grandma came out from nowhere and snatched our baskets and wild vegetables!"

"She said that since there was nothing to eat for the pigs and chickens at home, we should give her the wild vegetables. When we didn't, she scolded us for being heartless and ungrateful!

My second sister and I tried to hold the basket, but grandma hit us with her hands, causing us to fall. Sister Cuicui came forward to protect us, but she also scratched her! "

Chen Ning complained with tears in her eyes, and Chen Lin pursed his lips and whispered, "It's all my fault for not protecting my sister!

I was far away, and when I ran over, my grandmother had already grabbed the basket. I chased her, but she threw stones at me!"

Chen Lin lifted up his trousers and found a bulge on his calf, which was slightly blue.

"Why didn't you tell me just now? You didn't even let me take a look when the doctor came."

Chen An felt guilty. It was all his fault for being so careless. He thought Chen Lin was fine and asked him to run and call a doctor.

Chen Lin shook his head and said, "It's okay, Dad. I'm not in pain. I forgot about it just now and only remembered it when you mentioned this."

He is a real man, he has to be strong, there is nothing to complain about a minor injury.

Cheng Yue touched Chen Lin's leg and found that there did not seem to be any major problems, so she felt relieved. She just needed to apply some safflower oil at night.

Right now, the important thing is to find Zhao!

This shameless old hag not only sneaked up the hill where her family lived, but also bullied her children and even stole her wild vegetables!

Since her pigs and chickens had no food to eat, she would do her a favor!

Cheng Yue said angrily: "Let's go and settle the score with your grandma!"

As he said this, he pulled Chen Lin and Cuicui and was about to go out. The sisters Chen Tong and Chen Ning had injured their legs, and Chen An was also a patient, so they couldn't go.

Cuicui raised her head timidly, "Aunt Cheng Yue, I won't go. I'm fine."

She was an outsider and she didn't suffer any serious injuries, just a little scratch on her wrist. It was a bit unreasonable for her to be dragged to ask Zhao for an explanation.

Cheng Yue snorted coldly, "She scratched you, how can you not compensate her? Let's go together, don't be afraid, auntie will seek justice for you!"

Cuicui's eyes were dazed, and suddenly they lit up with stars.

She felt that her mother was already quite aggressive, but even if the family was divided, she would not dare to openly confront her grandparents.

Aunt Cheng Yue is no longer just aggressive, she is domineering!

Chen Tong and Chen Ning shouted in unison: "Mom, if we can go, we will go too and bring back the baskets and wild vegetables!"

They must personally seek redress for the grievances they have suffered!

"Let's go together!" Chen An said in a deep voice. Although his leg was injured, he couldn't bear to see his child being bullied like this, especially by his mother.

Cheng Yue was silent for a moment, then nodded. Since she was his mother, let him speak in person.

After the family finished talking, they went down the mountain. They were originally in high spirits, but the presence of three limping wounded men lowered the team's average morale.

The speed slowed down, but the anger on his face remained the same.

The villagers were dumbfounded when they saw this. "Chen An, what's wrong with you guys? Why are the two girls' legs injured?"

"Yeah, why don't you stay at home and recover? I'm afraid your injury will get worse if you go out and walk around!"

Before Chen An and Cheng Yue could say anything, Chen Tong choked up and said, "I know grandma never liked us. We used to do all the dirty and tiring work, and we always respected her as our elder. She just never let us have enough food, but we never complained!

But why does grandma still dislike us? Today she even ran to the top of the mountain to steal our wild vegetables and even tried to kill us. Will grandma be satisfied only if we fall off the mountain and die?"

The little girl sobbed and tears fell down her face. The villagers saw it and felt very upset.

No wonder the child had a lame leg? It turned out that Zhao, the wet nurse, pushed the child down the mountain in order to grab wild vegetables. What deep hatred did she have that she didn't care about the child's life or death?

How could Zhao be so vicious? !
