Chapter 4: I used to be a jerk

Yi Mingxue opened the door and walked out, and saw seven or eight people gathered around the yard; they were holding torches high and looking at her fiercely.

It was the village chief and Aunt Li who took the lead.

"Hey Yi Daya, how dare you kill someone at such a young age?!" The village chief pointed at Yi Mingxue and started scolding him indiscriminately.

Aunt Li also supported her, "Even if the fifth child is not your biological brother, he is the one your mother picked up with big breasts. You girl, you are too cruel!"

"Why are you wasting so much time talking to this damn girl? Just tie her up in a pig cage!" someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

"Are the people from the main house of the Yi family here? To deal with this girl, people from the old Yi family must be present!" asked the village chief.

"Um..." One person in the crowd hesitated for a moment and said, "Yi Dalang said that they have been separated for more than a year, and the matter of the second wife has nothing to do with him."

"What?" The village chief looked extremely ugly, "This family is getting more and more outrageous."

"No matter, let's tie up Yi Daya first! We won't let her hurt anyone again."

Yi Mingxue was really speechless. She took two steps back cautiously, and finally said something when she was free, "When you speak, you must provide evidence! Who committed the murder?"

"Second Aunt Li saw it with her own eyes, how can it be false?" the village chief was so angry that his beard was shaking.

"Ha, have you seen it with your own eyes? Aunt Li, are you sure?" Yi Mingxue snorted coldly and turned to look at the woman.

Aunt Li patted her chest and vowed, "I'm sure! If you hold such a small child in the water, what else is it if it's not killing someone?"

Yi Mingxue almost laughed angrily, just in time to see Yi Laosan's head emerge from the crack in the door.

"Third brother, tell me, did I kill your fifth brother?"

"Ah?" Yi Changle was stunned for a moment, and then her mind started to spin rapidly.

Although the eldest sister has gotten better today, who can guarantee that she will not beat them even harder tomorrow.

Normally, the village chief doesn't bother to care about her family's affairs, but now is a good time to bring down the eldest sister.

Soon she showed an innocent look and said, "Grandpa, village chief, my fifth brother is fine. He just suffered from a cold."

When Yi Mingxue heard this, she narrowed her eyes.

Good guy! I actually underestimated Lao San, the future villain. These words seemed to be helping her resolve the crisis, but in fact they confirmed the fact that she threw Lao Wu into cold water in the winter.

It was really a two-pronged game, and he even picked it all off.

If it was the original owner, she might have been deceived. But it's a pity that she bumped into her own hands today.

"Third sister, what are you talking about?" Yi Mingxue immediately showed a hurt expression.

"Your fifth brother was scalded by boiling water, and I was helping him out. Besides, he just ate two large bowls of beef polenta, where did he catch the cold?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes and said with a cry.

"Speaking of which, boiling water is your job on weekdays. If you hadn't come home late today, how would Lao Wu have done it for you? As for why you came back so late today, do you want me to tell the village chief about it?"

Yi Changle's face turned pale, and Hun'er was almost frightened.

How is it possible that the eldest sister actually saw through her little plan?!

The villagers in the courtyard didn't know that the two men's words were full of wit, so they couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.

There is indeed a native method of using cold water to treat burns in rural areas. Have they really misunderstood Yi Daya?

However, the village chief keenly grasped an important point.

Yi Daya said they were having dinner just now? Or was it beef polenta?

"Haha——" the village chief sneered with sarcasm on his face.

"Okay, who can afford dinner these days? How dare you lie now! Liu Da, Liu Er, tie her up for me!"

Following the village chief's order, two men immediately came forward.

The two brothers were hunters in the village and were very strong. They grabbed Yi Mingxue's arm when they came up.

However, I don’t know how Yi Mingxue did it, but she managed to escape from the shackles of the two adult men with a dexterous move.

The two Liu brothers were stunned, while Yi Mingxue secretly tightened her grip on the sharp blade.

At this moment, the wooden door of the earth-walled house suddenly made a creaking sound, breaking the situation.

Everyone looked around and saw two-year-old Yi Bao'er running out at some point and lying on the threshold watching the excitement.

The key is that he is holding an earthenware bowl in his hand, and that bowl is actually filled with half a bowl of hot polenta.

Everyone couldn't believe their eyes. Liu Da stepped forward and snatched the corn paste from Yi Baoer's hand.

The rich aroma of meat hit his nostrils, making him swallow several mouthfuls of saliva on the spot.

"Village chief, it's really polenta! It's really beef!"

"What?!" Everyone was even more shocked.

Where did Yi Daya get the beef? And she was so kind that she cooked it for her younger siblings!

It seems that I really misunderstood her today!

Liu Er moved more quickly and quickly got into the kitchen room; after a while, he came out holding Lao Wu with a gloomy face.

"Village Chief, Yi Laowu is fine." When he said this, Liu Er blushed unconsciously.

He usually hunts in the mountains and rarely returns to the village.

Occasionally I hear women talking about Yi Daya, saying that she is evil-hearted, ugly and stupid.

However, I saw with my own eyes today that not only was she able to get beef in such a difficult time, she also shared it with her younger brothers and sisters without hesitation.

He was an upright person, so he lowered his head to Yi Mingxue and said, "I'm so sorry, Sister Yi. I'm strong, so I didn't hurt you just now, right?"

Yi Mingxue's hatred towards Liu Er disappeared. She shook her head gently and quietly put away the sharp blade in her sleeve.

Now, it was the turn of the village chief and Aunt Li to get off the stage; their faces were red and they didn't know what to say for a long time.

Yi Mingxue saw everyone's expressions in her eyes, and although she was unhappy in her heart, she still had to live in the village in the short term and could not make the situation too tense.

"I know everyone is concerned, and I don't blame everyone. I was the bastard and ignorant before, but now I have figured it out. My parents are gone, and I am the eldest sister. I will definitely raise my younger brothers and sisters well.

.”

"It's dark and the road is slippery, so we should go back early." As she said that, she took the bowl of beef paste back from Liu Da's hand and gave it to Yi Bao'er, who was watching eagerly.

He ordered the guests to be kicked out, "We have just started dinner, and the little ones are not full yet."

Everyone left angrily, with Aunt Li walking at the end, wishing she could dig a hole and crawl in.

She originally had good intentions, but she didn't expect that it would end up causing such a big mistake.

"Second Aunt Li, stay."

However, Yi Mingxue suddenly called her.

I saw her turn around and walk into the kitchen house, and soon she came out with a bowl of yellow-orange cornstarch.

"I was the one who was confused in the past. Thanks to Aunt Li's help in taking care of my younger brothers and sisters. I remember that you also have two boys at home, right? Bring a bowl back and let them eat it while it's hot."

"Ah...how did this happen?" Aunt Li almost dropped her jaw in shock.

She thought that Yi Daya would definitely hate her, but to her surprise...she actually gave her a bowl of cornstarch directly.

This is no ordinary polenta, half of it is beef cubes!

Aunt Li subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the beef was too fragrant.

When she thought of the two cubs at home, who were so hungry that they cried while holding a water gourd every night, she couldn't open her mouth to say no.

Seeing this, Yi Mingxue simply put the bowl into her hand.

"If you're really embarrassed, how about taking care of my fifth and sixth child for a day tomorrow? I guess I need to go into the mountains."
