128: Chapter 128: Bite Him_1 128: Chapter 128: Bite Him_1 âSince youâve figured it out, I can rest easy,â Yang Ruxin nodded, relieved that although her sister was soft-hearted, she wasnât unaware or incapable of distinguishing right from wrong.
Her efforts to protect her were not in vain; the last thing she wanted was for someone to see her help as meddling.
Luckily, all her younger siblings were good kids.
âI donât like that older cousin,â Yang Rufeng suddenly said, his little face tense.
âWhy not?â Yang Ruxin glanced at Erni and then patted Xiaofeng on the head, âDid he bully you?â Dani had little memory of those so-called cousins since theyâd barely interacted, just meeting a few times without much engagement.
âLast timeâŠâ Xiaofeng bit his lip, looking up at Yang Ruxin with uncertainty, as if ashamed of discussing such filthy matters.
âXiaofeng.â Yang Ruxin squatted down, looking straight into Xiaofengâs eyes, âDo you trust your big sister?â
Xiaofeng nodded.
âThen tell big sister what exactly happened?â Yang Ruxin had a hunch that the man named Tian Geng had definitely done something inappropriate, or Xiaofeng wouldnât be acting like this.
âLast time he came to our house, he took me to the back shed and thenâŠâ A flash of fear crossed Xiaofengâs eyes.
Yang Ruxin quickly hugged Xiaofeng close, âDonât be scared.â
âHe took off his pantsâŠâ Xiaofeng buried his face in Yang Ruxinâs shoulder, âand took off mine, and wanted to touch my buttâŠ
he also made me touch hisâŠâ
The faces of Erni and the others turned red, but anger flickered in their eyesâ even the most obtuse realized what the cousin must have done to Xiaofeng.
âXiaofeng, why didnât you tell us before?â Sanniâs voice was raised.
âI was scaredâŠâ Xiaofeng pouted, âI was afraid grandma would hit me, I was afraid mom would cryâŠâ
âThat despicable old beast.â Disgust overwhelmed Yang Ruxin, no wonder Xiaofeng rarely spoke.
During her few days here, his presence was always subdued; she had thought that was just his nature, but it turned out he was traumatized, âRest assured, your big sister will avenge you.â
Xiaofeng looked up, his eyes filled with confusion.
His older cousin had said heâd be beaten to death if he dared to tell.
âDonât you trust your big sister?â Yang Ruxin bent down to meet Xiaofengâs gaze.
âNoâŠ
itâs not thatâŠâ Xiaofeng shook his head vigorously, âHe saidâŠ
he saidâŠâ
âWhat else did he say?â Yang Ruxin frowned.
âHe said if I dared to tell anyone, he wouldâŠ
he would beat me to deathâŠâ Xiaofengâs voice trailed off to a whisper.
âHow did you manage to escape then?â Yang Ruxin took a deep breath inwardly, suppressing the urge to rush to town and confront that vile man immediately.
âI bit him and then ran awayâŠâ Xiaofeng bit his lip again.
âXiaofeng did well.â Yang Ruxin smiled, thankful the child had a strong mind, âRemember from now on, if you canât beat people like him, scream as loud as you can, and if you canât win, bite them as hard as you canâŠâ
âMhm.â Xiaofeng looked more relaxed.
âAnd you guys,â Yang Ruxin stood up straight, with an unprecedented serious expression, addressing her younger siblings, âyou must be careful, and never be alone with people you donât know well or who have ulterior motivesâŠâ
