Bowen looked at his sister anxiously. Mu Yangling stroked his head and said, “This has nothing to do with you. You just have to study hard. Co back early to take care of your younger siblings after school.”
Shu Wanniang said, “Aunt, let Xiulan stay at ho to look after the children. I’ll go.” Seeing that she was about to object, she said with a smile, “I’m also uneasy staying at ho. I don’t know if there will be a fight for water. Since I’m an adult after all, I’d be more useful than Xiulan.”
Great-aunt imdiately stopped talking and nodded. “That works too.” She looked at them sternly and said, “If soone fights for the water, don’t argue with them. Don’t get into a physical altercation with them, understand?”
Great-aunt’s gaze was mainly on All Ling as she said, “Ah Ling, I know you’re strong, but it’s difficult to fight back when you’re outnumbered. Since you still have to protect us, you will be no match for them. In short, 1 won’t allow you to get into a physical altercation with others for water. I’d rather you go ho first. It’s no big deal even if we don’t water the wheat.”
Madam Ma-Liu’s son had quarreled with the son of the landlord because of Ma Youcai’s fight for water. When he returned ho, he gathered his cousins and went to seek justice together. When they fought, Ma Youcai hid behind and pushed Ma Fugui out. Attacked by the landlord’s son with a hoe, Ma Fugui collapsed. When her daughter-in-law, who had gone to take a look, saw this, she quickly went forward to stop those people from beating him up. However, she was beaten up indiscriminately and died after giving birth to a baby boy.
