"They're back? Come on, let's go see how your dad is doing."

Cui struggled to get up, and Yuxiu had to reach out and help her up. The two walked outside and saw a large group of people rushing over from a distance. Everyone had scars and blood on their bodies to varying degrees, and each of them looked particularly embarrassed at this moment. The women who had been looking forward to it for a long time ran up, pulling their relatives and crying and shouting.

There were also a few women who had not found their husbands. They had already sat down on the ground and cried out to the sky.

Seeing this, Cui suddenly felt panic for no reason and immediately felt her legs and feet going weak. If Yuxiu hadn't held her tightly, she would have fallen to the ground.

"Come on, come and look at your father..."

Before Cui could finish her words, a young man with blood all over his face came over. He walked a few steps to Cui's mother and daughter and handed a tattered purse to Cui.

"Second aunt, my second uncle accidentally rolled down the cliff. We went down to look for him, but we only found this thing. You..."

"mother!"

Before he could finish his words, Yuxiu felt her shoulder sink. Cui had fainted again.

"Second Aunt..."

"Thank you cousin for telling me this news..."

The young man exclaimed, and Yuxiu quickly reached out to take the purse, thanked him, and quickly carried Cui back to the mountain temple.

According to the original owner's memory, this young man was a cousin of the Xu family, and he was usually quite close to Xu Qinghe.

When he saw Yuxiu bringing Cui in, he scratched his head, not knowing what to say to comfort them, so he just turned around and left. He was also injured and had to go back and treat it.

"My daughter...your father...your father..."

In the dilapidated temple, Cui had slowly woken up. When she thought of Xu Qinghe, she was filled with grief and burst into tears.

"mother……"

Seeing her so sad, Yuxiu couldn't help feeling sad and tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably.

Thinking about how she had inexplicably changed from a well-off small boss to a hungry peasant girl, and not knowing how much suffering she would have to endure in the days to come, she cried more and more sadly.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly, but it was Cui who calmed down first.

Now that her husband is gone, she is the backbone of her daughter. If she, as a mother, collapses, how can her daughter survive in this famine?

"This purse was made for your father by your mother when she first married into the Xu family. He has been carrying it with him for so many years, and even though the edges have been worn out, he has never replaced it."

Cui's eyes were still red and swollen. She gently opened the purse and found that there were only a few copper coins in it.

She wiped the tears from her face, and a determined light flashed in her eyes.

"Your cousin only said that he fell off a cliff, but he didn't say that he was dead. Now we can't stay in the Xu family anymore. Why don't we try our best and leave these people and go into the mountains? What if your father is still alive, but is just injured and trapped in the mountains?"

Yuxiu didn't expect that Cui, who was very weak in the past, would think like this. She felt a little relieved. Just as she was about to agree, she heard a noisy sound outside. With the sound of footsteps, both mother and daughter heard a very familiar voice.

"Cui, you bastard, where did you hide that little bitch? Get out here now!"

Before, Yuxiu was in a hurry to take Cui out, so she just kicked the people from Xu's family a few times casually. When she saw them lying on the ground howling, she took them away. Now, after hearing the sharp curses, she realized that she had not kicked them lightly enough.

"My daughter, you stay here. I will go out and argue with them..."

Cui just shrank back reflexively, but thinking that she could no longer rely on her man and that she was the only one who could stand in front, she firmly pulled Yuxiu behind her and planned to go out alone to deal with the Xu family.

"Mom, now we are the only ones left to depend on each other. No matter what happens, we will face it together."

Yuxiu held Cui's arm and found that although she was standing in front of her with a righteous look, her whole body was still shaking slightly. She didn't know whether she was angry or scared.

Feeling that her daughter was right, Cui did not refute, but simply took Yuxiu's arm, and the two of them supported each other and went outside together.

When they went out, they found that a group of people had gathered outside the dilapidated temple. Everyone was holding weapons such as hoes and sticks, and they looked like they were looking for someone to fight to the death.

"You stupid little girl, do you think you don't get beaten enough? You dare to hit my mother. You are simply courting death!"

A burly young man in front was holding a hoe in his hand. When he saw Yuxiu coming out, he pointed at her and cursed her. There was a ferocity in his eyes, as if he was going to pounce on her immediately and tear the culprit, Yuxiu, into pieces.

"Brother, don't waste your time talking to her. Let's beat her up first to vent my mother's anger!"

A taller young man next to him tugged at his sleeve, and the two looked at each other, then rushed towards Yuxiu and her daughter with weapons in their hands.

Cui was anxious to stand in front of Yuxiu, but she pulled her back. She took a step forward, stretched out both hands at the same time, and grabbed the hoe and stick that were hitting her head.

The two young men were not prepared for Yuxiu's move. They were stunned for a moment, and then they saw Yuxiu, who usually kept her head down and was very timid and fearful, looking up and grinning at them. Then they felt a pain in their arms, and before they could react, they found that the weapon in their hands had gone into Yuxiu's hands.

"Let's vent our anger by beating him up first, eh? Okay!"

Yuxiu sneered, clenched the wooden stick in her hand, and started beating the two men on the head.

"Ouch!"

"Ah! It hurts me to death!"

"What are you doing, you damn girl!"

"Stop it now!"

The scene was instantly in chaos, with sounds of wailing and screaming continuing to ring out. The Xu family members who had been watching coldly from the side soon became flustered and shouted out to stop the fight. If the two people who were beaten and running away with their heads in their hands had not stood in the middle, they would have probably rushed up to help.

Seeing this, Cui also became anxious. She picked up the hoe that was thrown on the ground and stood closely beside Yuxiu. She stared at those people with her red and swollen eyes, with an indescribable anger in her eyes.

"Didn't you say you wanted to vent your anger first? Are the two cousins ​​satisfied?"

Soon, the two young men were knocked to the ground by Yuxiu. They lay on the ground holding their heads and wailing in pain.
