It was time to prepare dinner, and many villagers went to the ancient well to fetch water for washing.

He Zhan was busy going home. He filled the bucket with water and walked away without noticing the suspicious people mixed in the crowd.

As soon as he felt something was wrong, his sharp eyes swept around and immediately locked onto a man wearing a straw hat behind him.

After noticing his gaze, the man stopped pretending, took off his straw hat, revealing his eye-catching crew cut, and waved and smiled at him.

He Zhan's face visibly darkened.

A'mo left Yuntun Village last night when no one was around, but today he appeared at the gate of Yuntun Village when there were most people around.

His purpose was simple, he wanted to stay in the He family openly.

He Zhan withdrew his gaze, turned and left.

Every time he took a step, A'mo followed him, but they always kept a certain distance and didn't follow too closely.

He Zhan curled his lips coldly. If this brat had the guts to follow him to the He family, he would beat him up severely and then throw him out.

Just at this time, a group of women carrying baskets came together.

A'mo suddenly walked quickly up to He Zhan and held He Zhan's hand together with the carrying pole.

He Zhan's eyes darkened and he dodged as if he were avoiding a snake or scorpion, while giving A'mo a warning look.

Among the women walking towards them was Granny Wu. Seeing Ah Mo and He Zhan standing together, she suddenly asked in a low voice, "What kind of mission is He Zhan carrying out? Everyone is back, why haven't you sent this little mute away yet?"

The woman next to her heard her mumbling and leaned over: "Grandma Wu, what are you talking about?"

Granny Wu was so frightened that her body trembled. It was impossible for her to reveal something that involved her life and property. She quickly laughed and said, "Nothing, I just saw that kid from the He family and him..."

The words were on the tip of his tongue for a while, but his mind suddenly jumped. He pointed at Ah Mo and said to the woman beside him, "With his cousin."

"Eh." The woman looked in the direction of Grandma Wu's finger and asked in confusion, "Didn't Aunt He say she was a widow with no relatives when she married into Yuntun Village? Where did this cousin of General He come from?"

The other women heard the conversation between the two and walked over to surround He Zhan and A'mo, asking them questions all over the place.

"Mr. He, whose relative's child is this? He looks strange and unfamiliar."

"Are you here to visit relatives or stay at your house? Why don't you introduce us to your neighbors? If we bump into you, we won't even know your name. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

"That's right, such a handsome boy, all the aunts are very fond of him. Is he married? It just so happens that my third sister has a daughter who is of marriageable age, and she is worried about not being able to find a suitable boy. I think this child is very good."

He Zhan was not good at discussing family matters with others. He felt his head was buzzing with noise. He squeezed out from the group of women and said lightly, "Sorry, I have nothing to say."

A'mo took the opportunity to grab the corner of He Zhan's clothes and break out of the encirclement together.

A group of women behind him immediately formed a circle and started talking in low voices.

"Tsk, you are so arrogant. They are both generals. The boy from the He family is not as sweet as the boy from the Sun family."

"Who said it wasn't true? The boy from the Sun family called me auntie as soon as he saw me. He was so affectionate. Unlike the boy from the He family, he always had a sad face whenever he saw me."

Grandma Wu has been hating the He family so much lately that she naturally couldn't help but join in on the slander.

"You don't know that the He family will be destroyed sooner or later!"

Everyone smelled gossip and all eyes turned to Granny Wu.

Granny Wu finally found her home ground at this moment. She immediately folded her hands in front of her chest, raised her chin high, shook her head and said, "This kid from the He family is a reincarnation of a disaster star. First he killed his father, and then tortured his mother to this state. Yang Yun was a famous beauty in the surrounding villages, but now she is not as good as an old woman like me. Look at the wife that He Zhan is looking for now, she is also a short-lived ghost and will not live long. Even the kid who was standing next to him just now, although he looks handsome, he is a little mute!"

Everyone sighed. Such a handsome guy turned out to be a mute. The woman who had originally thought of matchmaking for her relatives immediately gave up the idea and spat, "Grandma Wu is right. This He Zhan is really a jinx!"

-

A'mo held He Zhan's hand and walked all the way.

He Zhan was carrying two full buckets of water. He was busy trying to wipe away A'mo's hand while trying not to spill the water.

When they were only a few steps away from the He family, He Zhan simply put down the bucket, grabbed Ah Mo by the collar, and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "What on earth are you going to do?"

A'mo pushed He Zhan away, put his hands on his chest, and kept changing gestures with his fingers, accompanied by rich facial expressions, and made a series of sign language to He Zhan.

He Zhan has been in the army for many years and has met many people. Although he cannot use sign language, he can understand them.

A'mo said: I want to go back to Sister Ling and Aunt Yang. Can you please not chase me away? I really have no home.

He Zhan was not moved at all: "Although you are homeless, you won't die wandering outside. But if you dare to step into the He family again, you may die at my hands."

A'mo suddenly knelt down, raised his head and continued to gesture to He Zhan: Even if I am beaten to death by you today, I will stay in the He family, stay with Sister Huiling and Aunt Yang.

He Zhan lowered his eyes and glared at Ah Mo, "A man's knees are as precious as gold. You act like this and I look down on you. Did you use this method to persuade Song Huiling to agree to let you stay?"

A'Mo was embarrassed for a moment and lowered his head. After a while, he raised it again, stood up from the ground, and said to He Zhan in sign language: It may not work for you, but it will work for Sister Huiling. You look down on me, so I will go and kneel in front of Sister Huiling until she agrees to let me stay!

He Zhan sneered: "If she insists on keeping you, I will let her go with you."

A'Mo smiled and signed faster: Don't lie to me, you are reluctant to go back to Sister Ling, you will definitely compromise because of her.

A'Mo's last gesture was heavy, and his expression was extremely determined.

"What a joke." He Zhan's eyes were cold and he didn't care: "You can try it, I have never compromised for anyone!"

As He Zhan was speaking, the sound of the courtyard gate opening was heard. The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a slender figure standing in front of the gate, looking towards where they were.

Almost at the same time as this gaze came, A'mo repeated his old trick and knelt on the ground with a thud.

But this time he didn't kneel facing He Zhan, but turned around and knelt facing the figure in front of the courtyard gate.

He Zhan looked down and saw that Ah-mo was already in tears and shaking like a sieve, just like a little animal that was bullied.

It was obvious who was bullying this little beast...
