The members of the Fang family had already come to a decision. Ye Dachen and Ye Xiuan were also talking in the house that was adjacent to the Fang's house.

The two of them practiced their sword arts together in the cold wind. Ye Xiuan couldn't hold on any longer after practicing a few moves. He coughed a few times and sat down under the eaves of the corridor. Then, he took a sip of the strong alcohol before he felt his body warm up.

Ye Dachen practiced to his heart's content until his forehead was sweaty. He took the wine handed over by Ye Xiuan and said, "I've asked around. That girl's surname is Du, and her name is Du Yuheng. She's the granddaughter of the Fang family."

"Surname Du, living in her maternal grandfather's house?"

"Yes, her mother is the eldest daughter of the Fang family. She was originally married, but later, for some reason, she came back to her maternal family with Du Yuheng."

"What about the father of Du Yuheng?"

Ye Dachen shook his head. "Her mother didn't marry a man surnamed Du, so there were rumors in town that Du Yuheng was her mother's illegitimate child."

"Then who is her biological father? Can you find out?"

"His family has only moved to the town for a few years, and no one in the town knows about her real father. It's said that they have never seen the biological father of Du Yuheng."

Ye Xiuan fiddled with his wine cup. Du Yuheng, as a girl without knowing her real father, was living with her maternal grandfather, and she must be having a hard time. No wonder that girl was so scheming and so sensitive.

"The mother of Du Yuheng is called Fang Tong. I heard that she was ill and couldn't get up for a long time. The old lady of the Fang family is a stepmother, who has never been good to Fang Tong and her daughter. Maybe that's why Du Yuchang went out to work as a maid at the age of twelve."

Ye Dachen sighed in his heart. Twelve years old. When twelve years old, his sister was still acting like a spoiled child in front of her parents.

However, Ye Xiuan burst out laughing. Du Yuheng was like bamboo. The harder she was pressed, the stronger she would be.

If this kind of tragedy happened to the other girls, they would probably have cried their eyes to be blind. But Du Yuheng could find a way out for herself.

"As for the man in front of us that day, he was a ruffian named Hou Si. In the past, he liked to bully good girls the most. Sometimes, he didn't even let go of a little girl. I don't know whether he was taught a lesson by some guy a few days ago, and he has behaved well these days and keeps a distance from women on the streets." Ye Dachen was very disdainful.

Ye Xiuan wore a rather playful expression. That day, Hou Si was evidently slightly afraid of Du Yuheng, and Du Yuheng had even instructed him not to get too close to women. It was as if the two of them knew each other.

"There's another coincidence. The Fang family's house is right next to ours."

Ye Xiuan pointed to the east, "Just the one that is making a scene all day long?"

"Yes."

Ye Xiuan looked over there as if he were trying to see what Du Yuheng was doing.

The twelve-year-old girl had nothing but her sick mother and mean grandmother who made things difficult for her.

What on earth would she do?

…

What could Du Yuheng do? She had to try all her efforts!

She had to deal with whatever came to her. In any case, the members of the Fang family definitely wouldn't stop. So she had to fend for herself.

Du Yuheng reminded Fang Tong to be more careful. Although Fang Tong didn't understand, she still listened to her daughter.

Du Yuheng went out at night and returned on the morning, saving lunch time. She ate a flatbread at noon every day and then ran home. When she saw Fang Tong eating well, she hurried back.

However, the Fang family completely stopped making a scene. Mrs. Wang and Madam Fang stopped arguing, and Mr. Fang seldom went out to drink.

Madam Fang served Fang Tong three meals a day. There was staple food and dishes, and she also said a lot of sweet words.

It was just strange!

Only Fang Dali went out for a day and came back in the evening. He said that he went out to learn how to deliver goods and brought some snacks to Du Yuheng.

Du Yuheng threw the bag of candy into the urinal and was meditating.

It was not convenient to take action during the day, because they were staying at home. If Fang Tong suddenly died, everyone would know that they had murdered her.

It had to be at night. Four adults dealt with two weak women. Two adults had to control themselves, and the other two had to be fed them with medicine.

When what's done was done, at dawn she was sold out, and the Fang family could say whatever they wanted about the death of Fang Tong!

Thinking of this, Du Yuheng could no longer sleep well at night. She always pricked up her ears in front of the door to listen to the movement outside.

However, the members of the Fang family had really changed their tempers and remained patient for several days.

After a few days, Du Yuheng lost a lot of weight and her face got a little sallow. She couldn't even calm down when she worked during the day. Dr. Qian sighed in his heart. After all, she was only twelve years old. These days, she was too tired.

"There are not many patients today, Du Yuheng. You can go back and rest."

Du Yuheng came back to her senses and thanked Dr. Qian and then went home.

After entering the courtyard and seeing that the door of the wing-room was right in front of her, Du Yuheng glanced at the other rooms and suddenly had an idea. Instead of going to bed, she ran behind the pile of firewood next to the kitchen.

Winter was approaching, and a lot of firewood and straws had been piled in the yard. Du Yuheng was small, so she found a place to hide\ and covered herself with straws, which made her unable to be seen from the outside.

Seeing that the sky was still a little bright, Du Yuheng closed her eyes and rested for a while. When she woke up, there was a low whisper outside.

Du Yuheng quietly pushed aside the straw and looked out through a crack.

"Is that little slut back?" It was Madam Fang's voice.

"No. I've already sent Dali to look for her," said Mrs. Wang.

"That bitch always came back early. What's going on today?"

"The little whore has always been scheming. Who knows where she went!"

While they were talking, a person ran in from outside. "Mom, people from the Renyi Clinic said that they've asked her to come back a long time ago. We've searched everywhere on the street, but we didn't see that bitchy girl."

"Could it be that someone kidnapped her?"

"That bitchy girl is foxy. How can she be kidnapped? Mom, it's good that that little slut is not here. Let's just do it!"

Madam Fang looked at Mr. Fang, who came out of the room. His eyes were as dark as a poisonous snake, and he said fiercely, "Do it!"

Fang Dali took a bowl of medicine from Mr. Fang and entered Fang Tong's room with Madam Fang.

Du Yuheng's eyes turned red and it seems like it's about to jump out of her eye sockets.

That bowl of medicine was actually brought out by Mr. Fang himself!
