Chapter 450 - 431: The Kids Bravely Fight Cai Jinhua

"Your uncle is working in the fields over at Sanbaping. I’m busy with something here and can’t get away. Could you go to my house, grab something for me, and take it to him?"

Yun Jiao said deadpan, "What are you so busy with? You look pretty free to me."

Yun Xiaohua and the other kids also gave her a suspicious look.

’She has time to stand here and chat with us, so how can she be busy?’

Cai Jinhua cursed inwardly but put on a troubled expression.

"I still have to go back and cook. I’m the only one at home doing all the work, I really can’t leave."

"What about Yun Zhuangzhuang’s grandpa and Grandma? If you really can’t, just have Yun Zhuangzhuang take it."

Yun Xiaohua stood in front of Yun Jiao.

"I just saw him! Yun Zhuangzhuang is over there playing. Why should Jiaojiao go when you won’t even send your own son?"

"Yeah, exactly!"

Cai Jinhua’s expression twisted. "What business is it of yours?"

Yun Jiao shot back, "They’re absolutely right. Why should I be the one to go? Are we close or something?"

’We’re not just strangers, we’re enemies. Do I look that gullible?’

Cai Jinhua was furious, but she knew it wasn’t going to work today.

’Damn it, aren’t kids supposed to be easy to fool? Why is every kid in this village smarter than the last?’

’I’ll just have to find another chance.’

"Forget it, forget it. I’ll take it myself. Kids these days... they have no sense of public spirit at all."

Yun Jiao rolled her eyes. "That’s not a lack of public spirit, that’s you having bad intentions. You’re just trying to get free labor. Why don’t you make your own son do it? We’re not like Sister Laidi and the others, for you to just push around."

"Yeah! Aunt Jin Hua, don’t try to make yourself sound so noble."

"You weren’t even willing to make Yun Zhuangzhuang deliver one little thing, and you have the nerve to say you were wrong? I think you were just pretending before."

"Poor Zhaodi and the others."

"Aunt Jin Hua, we may be little, but we’re not to be trifled with."

The group of children chattered all at once, making Cai Jinhua’s face flush red with anger.

"You damn kids! Your parents clearly never taught you how to speak to your elders!"

Yun Jiao put her small hands on her hips. "What kind of elder are you to me? I wouldn’t dare have an elder like you. Let Yun Zhuangzhuang enjoy that good fortune all by himself."

"Yeah! If you were my elder, you’d probably beat me and make me work all day. No thanks!"

Cai Jinhua: "..."

She raised her hand to strike them just as one of the children’s parents walked over. Seeing this, the parent instantly grew furious.

"Cai Jinhua, you damn hag! You dare touch my daughter, I dare you!"

The woman charged over, swinging the shoulder pole she was carrying right at Cai Jinhua.

She cursed as she hit her.

"Have you no shame? No shame at all? A grown woman like you, bullying children! What, now that your own daughters couldn’t stand you and ran away, you’ve started bullying other people’s girls, is that it? And here I thought you’d changed after your ’re-education.’ Turns out you’re still just a bad seed..."

Yun Xiaohua jumped up and down, cheering for her mom.

"Mom, you’re amazing!"

When they saw Cai Jinhua start to fight back, the kids ran over to help. They’d land a kick, a pinch, or pull her clothes and hair, then immediately bolt.

They were quite clever about it.

In the end, Cai Jinhua couldn’t fight so many people and ran off in disgrace.

Once she was a safe distance away, her eyes filled with venomous hatred.

"Treating a bunch of worthless girls like treasures. Just you wait! I’ll show you how I deal with you!"

Back at home, as she was muttering and cursing, a middle-aged man suddenly emerged and stared at her with cold eyes.

"Where is she?"

Cai Jinhua jumped in fright.

Her eyes darted around. "That damn brat is as cunning as a fox. She didn’t fall for it at all."

The middle-aged man shot her a harsh glare. "You can’t even handle one simple thing. You’re useless."

Cai Jinhua didn’t like the sound of that.

"You think it’s so easy? You try it! If you hadn’t offered money, who would be willing to help you? That damn brat Yun Jiao is really popular in the village. If I brought her to my house and something happened, I’d be the first one they suspect. I’m taking a huge risk here."

The man grew impatient with her nagging, a flicker of killing intent flashing in his eyes before vanishing.

But Cai Jinhua didn’t notice.

"Enough."

He handed Cai Jinhua five hundred yuan.

"Get this done as soon as possible, and I’ll give you the remaining thousand. Otherwise, however much of my money you’ve taken, you’ll pay it back tenfold."

Cai Jinhua didn’t hear a word he said. Her eyes were glued to the money in her hands. She licked a finger and began to count, her smile growing wider with each bill.

With the money in hand, she puffed out her chest and made a guarantee.

"Don’t you worry. She’s just a kid. No matter how smart she is, she’s no match for an adult."

Her eyes glinted with greed. "After we get that damn brat Yun Jiao... there are plenty of other kids in our village. You don’t want them?"

A flash of contempt passed through the middle-aged man’s eyes as he looked at her.

’If it weren’t for the fact that most people in this village were highly vigilant and loved to gossip and spread news about everything, he wouldn’t have chosen such an idiot.’

Cai Jinhua was a big mouth too, of course, but she was currently an outcast in the village. She’d also been to prison, so most people didn’t believe a word she said.

All it took was a small threat from the man, combined with the lure of money, and she fell right into line.

Meanwhile, Yun Jiao, who was already back home, had a feeling that something was off about Cai Jinhua today.

’Asking me for help for no reason... and the way she looked at me was definitely not friendly.’

’How to put it... It was like she was looking at a plump piece of meat.’

She didn’t believe for a second that Cai Jinhua suddenly wanted to get on her good side.

Yun Jiao decided to go and see what was going on.

So, as dusk fell, she took her two dogs and Cat Boss and snuck quietly towards Cai Jinhua’s house.

She moved stealthily, making sure no one saw her.

When she reached Cai Jinhua’s house, she vaulted the wall in one smooth motion. She and the cat found a hidden spot and concealed themselves.

As for the two dogs, they couldn’t get over the wall, and there was no doggy door, so they could only wait outside for Yun Jiao’s signal.

Yun Jiao’s vision was also excellent in the dark.

Cradling Cat Boss, she had just gotten settled in her hiding spot when a great drama unfolded before her.

Cai Jinhua and Yun Dan were tearing into each other.

"You bitch! You better explain to me who the hell he is!"

Yun Dan never would have imagined that he’d come home from drinking only to find a strange man in his house.

And this man was walking out of their bedroom.

Looking back at his wife, Yun Dan’s anger flared, and he slapped Cai Jinhua across the face.

Cai Jinhua wasn’t one to just take a beating. She started scratching and clawing back at Yun Dan.

"Yun Dan, how dare you hit me! I work myself to death at home, and you come back from drinking and hit me, is that it? You really think I’m a pushover, don’t you?"

The middle-aged man looked utterly impatient.

"That’s enough, both of you."

Yun Dan’s face was covered in scratch marks, and his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the middle-aged man.

Just as he raised his fist to hit the man, the man knocked him to the ground with a single punch.

The man wore a look of disgust.

"You know what kind of woman your wife is. I’m not so desperate that I’d stoop to her level."

Cai Jinhua: "..."

That explanation was truly offensive to her.
