“Ah!” Hua Bao shrieked and then rushed forward, crouching down to check on the little yellow chicken.
But the little yellow chicken lay on the ground, unmoving, clearly dead.
“Waa…” Hua Bao cradled the still body of the little yellow chicken, tears streaming down her face.
Seeing Hua Bao cry, Zhang Da Tou became extremely smug, hands on his hips, and declared, “She’s not my sister, she’s my enemy. If it weren’t for her father, I wouldn’t have lost my mother, my grandparents, and ended up with no food to eat. It’s all her father’s fault.”
“That was your mother’s and their own doing. What does it have to do with Hua Bao? And it certainly has nothing to do with our third brother.” Zhang Liu Shui looked at his ferocious nephew, finding it hard to believe that a child of a few years could say such things.
Moreover, looking at Zhang Da Tou’s fierce eyes, Zhang Liu Shui had no doubt that if Zhang Da Tou grew up, he would use even more terrifying means against the third brother’s family. This nephew was too dreadful.
“It’s Zhang Liu Nian’s fault, that lazy bum. He’s a bad person, and Hua Bao’s father is a big bad guy.” Zhang Da Tou didn’t really understand what “own doing” meant, but he could tell that Zhang Liu Shui was on Hua Bao’s side, so he deliberately emphasized it.
Hua Bao, who was still heartbroken, heard Zhang Da Tou actually speak ill of her father. Angered, she put down the little yellow chicken, turned, and charged at him like a furious little bull, “I won’t let you talk about my father, you bad person, bad person.”
Hua Bao ran to Zhang Da Tou’s side and butted him with her head, causing Zhang Da Tou to stagger backward and finally fall to the ground on his backside.
“Waa… It was your father’s fault in the first place, he ruined my family, it’s his fault.” Zhang Da Tou, after falling, also started to cry, but the hatred in his heart had been sown long ago and couldn’t be changed by a few words.
Hearing him say this, Hua Bao clenched her little fists and rushed at Zhang Da Tou again. Then she sat on him and started hitting him.
Zhang Da Tou was a few months older than Hua Bao, and because he had eaten better than Hua Bao before, he was sturdier. At first, Hua Bao had the upper hand, but when he also became enraged, he immediately flipped over and pinned Hua Bao to the ground, not only hitting her but also trying to pull off her clothes.
Hua Bao was a girl. She remembered her father saying that no one could pull off her clothes. She tried to resist, but after waving her hands for a long time, she couldn’t stop Zhang Da Tou from pulling at her clothes.
Zhang Liu Shui, seeing this, was about to help his niece when suddenly someone from the group of children who had just followed spoke up, “Hua Bao is being bullied by Da Tou. Let’s go help her.”
After this person spoke, these five children immediately pulled Zhang Da Tou away. As soon as Hua Bao was free, she immediately got up and started hitting Zhang Da Tou.
When she was tired of hitting him, still not satisfied, she turned to the five children and said, “Brother Da Mao, help me beat him. I’ll give you each a piece of candy when we get back.”
Upon hearing this, Da Mao and the others licked their lips and then unhesitatingly joined in, starting to beat Zhang Da Tou.
Zhang Liu Shui watched his niece use her advantage, smiled, and stepped back, letting these children resolve the matter.
However, when he saw the little yellow chicken on the ground, he still felt that Da Tou was a bit cruel. How could such a young child commit such a vicious act? He would be terrible when he grew up.
“Zhang Da Tou, if you dare to say anything bad about my father again in the future, I’ll beat you to death!” Hua Bao saw that Zhang Da Tou had been severely dealt with and didn’t forget to霸气ly remind him not to speak ill of her father.
With that said, she tearfully picked up the little yellow chicken and took the five children home.
Zhang Liu Shui, worried, followed behind them until he saw his third sister-in-law and them meet up, and then he returned to Daming Lake.
In the morning, Zhang Liu Nian had delivered the tractor to the educated youth dormitory. Zhang Liu Shui came and told Zhang Liu Nian about it. The latter didn’t know how to react, only feeling that his daughter was being raised by him to be more and more ferocious.
Back home, Zhang Liu Nian searched everywhere for his daughter, only to find her going behind the house to the place where the little yellow chicken had been buried last time, digging a hole to bury it. During the digging, her face was still streaked with tears.
This made Zhang Liu Nian very distressed. He picked up his daughter with his strong hands and rubbed her little head, “Hua Bao, Dad will help you bury it together.”
Hearing her father’s voice, Hua Bao turned, “Waa!” and hugged Zhang Liu Nian’s neck, bursting into tears.
Hearing his daughter’s cries, Zhang Liu Nian decided to go beat up Zhang Liu Huo later, to make him remember his daughter Hua Bao’s pain.
“Dad, Da Tou is so bad, he talked about you, and he cursed you. I didn’t let him. Dad is the best dad, he can’t talk about you. Hua Bao wants to protect you.” After crying for a long time, Hua Bao, with her reddened eyes, said that she also wanted to protect her father.
Zhang Liu Nian was deeply touched by her words, his heart melting completely. He hugged his daughter and kissed her little face, “Dad is very moved. Hua Bao will protect Dad.”
“However, you are still young. It is Dad’s time to protect you now. So Dad has something to tell you. In the future, if you encounter any bad things, don’t endure them. You should learn to resist like Dad. If someone hits you, you hit him back. If someone tries to pull your clothes, break his hand. Don’t be afraid.”
“With Dad here, no one can bully you, understand?”
Zhang Liu Nian was afraid that his daughter would be too understanding and learn to put up with things. His daughter Zhang Liu Nian did not need to endure. If she was unhappy, she could say it out loud, she could fight back. He would try his best to be the big tree that would shield her from the consequences of her resistance.
Hua Bao nodded in a daze, “Hua Bao seems to understand, and yet she doesn’t.”
Zhang Liu Nian’s words were long and difficult to understand, and Hua Bao tried hard but couldn’t fully grasp them.
Seeing his daughter say this so adorably, Zhang Liu Nian’s heart softened again. “Then you just need to remember that no one can bully you, because you are Dad’s daughter.”
This, Hua Bao understood. A faint smile appeared on her little face, “Hua Bao understands. I can’t let others bully me, and I won’t let others bully Dad, right?”
Zhang Liu Nian dotingly hugged his daughter and kissed her a couple more times, making Hua Bao giggle. Only then did they go home.
Seeing that his daughter was much better, Zhang Liu Nian turned and went to Zhang Liu Huo’s house.
Jiang Qing Qing, standing inside the house, looked on with worry.
She knew her man was going to stand up for their daughter. She wanted to stop him but also didn’t want to stop him, so in the end, she watched him go to Zhang Liu Huo’s house.
With a “bang!” the door of Zhang Liu Huo’s house was suddenly kicked open. Zhang Liu Huo, who was lying on the bed starving, heard the commotion, lifted his head, and saw Zhang Liu Nian walking in with a gust of wind. However, his expression was extremely grim.
“Are you here to laugh at me? Are you here to see how miserable your cousin, who used to live better than you, is now?” Zhang Liu Huo crawled out of bed and said sarcastically to Zhang Liu Nian.
