Chapter 62: Hitting Xiang Fu Means Feeling Sorry for Yaya

Chapter 62: Hitting Xiang Fu Means Feeling Sorry for Yaya

Wei Pozi chuckled, pretending not to understand the hidden meaning in Mao's words, and continued, "Don't blame your Afu too much... If it were my son, I would have given him a good beating for not looking after his siblings! But since Aifu is a girl, you shouldn't hit her too hard. Just a light punishment should do."

Mao's face stiffened; she almost wanted to say that those two brats deserved it and had nothing to do with her Aifu.

Wei Pozi didn't forget to "urge" Mao, but her words sounded like advice, "Has it been a day already? You must have already punished Aifu, right?"

Mao couldn't respond!

Wei Pozi didn't care and turned to Xiang Shan, adopting an elder's tone, "Xiang Shan, your new wife is quite good. I was worried she might mistreat Yaya, but now it seems she also feels sorry for Yaya."

The implication was clear: hitting Xiang Fu means feeling sorry for Yaya.

So... if one doesn't hit Xiang Fu, they naturally don't feel sorry for Yaya!

Mao's face turned green!

Xiang Shan remained silent, his expression strained.

He knew whether Mao had hit Aifu or not.

Recalling his childhood, he remembered that whenever he got into trouble, it was always his older siblings who got beaten.

So...

Xiang Shan's face darkened slightly.

Wei Pozi sneered inwardly!

This woman dared to play such tricks in front of her and even tried to involve her Xingxing!

She wouldn't let this woman get away without exposing her true colors!

Seeing the situation turning sour, Mao reluctantly explained, "I was so worried about Yaya yesterday that I didn't have the heart to punish Aifu. I'll go now—"

As she spoke, she moved slowly, stealing glances at Xiang Shan, clearly waiting for him to stop her.

But Xiang Shan, having been pointed out by Wei Pozi, was preoccupied and didn't notice Mao.

Mao felt awkward—

Wei Pozi smiled sarcastically, watching Mao calmly, "Don't hit her too hard; she's still a girl."

In reality, she was urging, "Go ahead and hit her!"

Mao shuffled off to the next room.

Wei Pozi exclaimed, slapping her thigh, "No, I'm still not convinced. What if Xiang Shan's new wife hits Aifu too hard because she feels sorry for Yaya?"

Wei Pozi muttered to herself, "If she hits too hard, I need to stop her."

She then pulled Xiang Shan along, "Xiang Shan, come with me. If your new wife hits too hard, we need to stop her. Aifu is still a girl."

By seniority, Wei Pozi could command Xiang Shan, who dared not resist.

Xiang Fu's room was in the east-facing small house.

Xingxing had visited Yamei'er's home before and widened her eyes, "Isn't this Yaya's room?"

Xiang Shan explained, "Aifu has a weak destiny and needs to stay in a place with strong yang energy. Yaya is young, so swapping rooms with her sister isn't a big deal."

Wei Pozi sneered, "Weak destiny, huh? She should stay indoors more, doesn't Xiang Shan know? Our village had a war years ago, many people died. If Aifu goes out and encounters something, what then? Oh, maybe Xingxing and Yaya fell into the water because Aifu's weak destiny attracted something, causing them to have bad luck! Otherwise, my Xingxing is praised as a lucky child in our village. How could she be so unlucky to fall into the water?"

Xiang Shan wasn't stupid and sensed the resentment in Wei Pozi's words. He opened his mouth, explaining dryly, "Didn't Xingxing and Yaya fall in because they were being naughty?"

Wei Pozi sneered again.

As they approached the eastern room, Mao was pretending to scold Aifu on the bed, making a show of hitting her.

But she hadn't expected Wei Pozi and Xiang Shan to come over, shouting "Lighter, lighter." Mao couldn't keep up the act and bit her lip, using real force to slap Xiang Fu.

"Watch your sister! How did you watch them?!"

"How could both sisters fall into the stream?!"

Xiang Fu was stunned, realizing she was actually getting beaten. After the initial shock, she burst into tears, trying to dodge.

Xiang Shan felt a pang of sympathy and called out, wanting to stop it, but Wei Pozi quickly grabbed his arm, misinterpreting his intention, "Enough, enough, her mother will handle it! As a father, you might hurt her badly if you intervene."

Xiang Shan: "..."

During this tussle, Mao hit Xiang Fu a few more times.

Wei Pozi watched coldly, but Xingxing grew anxious.

She shouted at Mao, "Auntie, please stop hitting Aifu! She won't throw the ball in the stream again!"

Wei Pozi heard her granddaughter's words and held Xingxing, "Dear, what did you say?"

Xingxing bit her lower lip, worried about Xiang Fu, glancing at her.

"Grandma, Aifu asked me to find pearls in clams. I really tried, but couldn't find any, so Aifu called me a liar. Yaya wouldn't let Aifu call me that," Xingxing sighed like a little adult, explaining clearly, "Aifu said Yaya didn't want to be her sister and threw Yaya's favorite ball into the stream, saying she wanted a new one instead. Yaya rushed to retrieve the ball because she loved the one Uncle Xiang made for her and fell. I helped Yaya, but we weren't careful and fell into the stream..."

Xingxing spoke clearly, mimicking others' tones. Despite her young age, she conveyed the story vividly, leaving no room for doubt.

Speaking of this, Xingxing was extremely dejected, clearly still traumatized by the incident where she and Yamei'er fell into the water.

Wei Pozi was stunned; she had originally thought that Xiang Fu might have been too scared to help.

But there was actually another matter!

Wei Pozi was furious!

Xiang Shan was struck as if by lightning.

He had always assumed that when the two children fell into the water, it was simply because they were playing by the stream, being mischievous and careless, and slipped in.

There was actually another incident!

Maoshi was also panic-stricken and hurriedly said, "...Xingxing, good child, you mustn't lie. Our Afu never told me about this!"
