Villagers were already gathered at the door, wanting to save the fire. Seeing people at the door, a few men immediately rushed over, not bothering to avoid the trouble, pulling Madame Li along with Mu Yunyao and Su Qing as they charged out.
Fresh air rushed into Mu Yunyao's lungs, and she couldn't help but cough. A woman quickly sent water over, "God bless us, it's good as long as we're fine."
Mu Yunyao raised her head and a grateful smile appeared on her small face, but her eyes were filled with tears."Thank you, Aunt Yang. Grandmother, Grandmother, she ..."
"Aiya, your hand is ..." The woman who was speaking, Mistress Yang, jumped in fright. Mu Yunyao's good skin was very well-known for being tight, and when her slender white hands stretched out, it was simply even more beautiful than fair and white. It was unknown just how many girls had been envious of her, but at this moment, her hands were covered in blood and the burn marks on her palms were even more shocking.
Mu Yunyao's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and a huge unease surged within her spirited eyes."It's just that when I saved Grandmother, I was hurt a little. I'm fine, Grandmother's leg was injured by a cabinet, if she wakes up, she'll beat me to death ..."
Lady Li was known in the village for being unreasonable and unreasonable, and her harsh treatment of her daughter-in-law and granddaughter caused many people to be even more annoyed. However, it was not suitable for outsiders to interfere in the Mu family's matters, but with the current situation, this girl was injured to such an extent in order to save Lady Li. If Madame Li still did not know how to be grateful, then she would have to speak properly.
"Mu family's girl, don't worry. You saved your grandmother, so why would she hit you?"
Mu Yunyao wasn't comforted. She carefully leaned against Su Qing's body and curled up into a ball with her. She blankly stared at the fire in front of her.
Looking at the delicate backs of the two, the villagers who ran over to help the fire couldn't help but shake their heads.
Mu Cheng was the only scholar in Shi Yan's village. He had a gentle and kind personality, and usually wrote letters and such. His reputation was especially well-known in the village. Even those who were jealous that he married Su Qing and had a gentle smile on their faces could not say anything bad. They could only say their good fortune sourly.
The only thing that was not good was his mother. Madame Li's character was sharp and harsh, because a single feather could make a ruckus with her neighbors and she was extremely harsh. If it wasn't for her being sarcastic and forcing Mu Cheng's aunt to marry off for a little money, Mu Cheng's father wouldn't have been so ashamed.
"Cough cough, little slut. You little slut who killed a thousand knives!" Madame Li had just woken up, and was cursing at Mu Yunyao the moment she opened her eyes!
Mu Yunyao leaned on Su Qing even tighter. With fear and unease on her face, she asked, "Grandmother, are you alright?"
"You little slut, you've made me into such a state, and you still dare to ask if I'm alright? "It hurts, my leg ..."
"Grandmother, your leg was injured by the fall of the wardrobe. Mother and I have worked hard to help you carry the wardrobe. Otherwise, we would have been able to escape long ago."
"Bullshit, it's your fault, you broke my leg, you little b * tch! Wait for me to recover, I'll definitely break your dog leg!"
Mu Yunyao could not help but tremble from head to toe as she threw herself into Su Qing's embrace. A sinister light flashed in her eyes.
The villagers who were fighting the fire could not bear to watch any longer.
"Aunty Li, we all saw it. In order to save you, that little girl Yun Yao's hands were burnt and injured, yet you still slandered her. Do you have any conscience?"
"That's right. After Mu Cheng goes, you will make things difficult for the orphans and widows and won't you be afraid of damaging your merits?"
When Madame Li heard this, she was furious. Even though she was about to faint from the pain, she still did not have a bad temper. What does it have to do with you guys that I'm going to teach my daughter-in-law and granddaughter a lesson? "
"You ..." Mistress Yang couldn't bear to watch any longer, she walked up and patted Mu Yunyao's back, then said to Su Qing, "This house is gone, you orphans and widows have no place to go, today you should stay at my house for the night."
"No, " Mu Yunyao raised her head."Many thanks to Aunt Yang. Grandmother's leg is injured and needs someone to take care of it. We can temporarily stay at Grandmother's home."
"With her personality ..." The Yang family didn't finish their sentence, but their expressions were filled with loathing.
"It's fine. Grandmother is currently unable to move, so we should show our filial piety before you. Otherwise, our father's spirit in heaven will definitely blame us."
Mu Yunyao's voice was gentle, and the words she said were even more empathetic. The surrounding villagers couldn't help but inwardly nod their heads, as expected of her daughter, taught to them by scholars. Just her good character caused them to feel pity for her.
