The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!

Chapter 183: Chapter 165, Let’s Go, Beat Him Up!_1

“Defu, what did you just say to those people? How come they agreed to help the beaten merchant?” Daohua followed Xiao Yeyang through the crowd while turning her head to ask Defu.

Defu smiled, “The reason those people didn’t dare to meddle was for fear of retaliation. I told them to just help and that there would be no trouble; naturally, they took action.”

Daohua nodded and said with a smile, “When their own safety is assured, people generally do have a tendency towards goodness.”

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, wanting to say she was meddling in others’ affairs, but he moved his lips and eventually swallowed his words.

If Daohua hadn’t meddled in the past, he wouldn’t have been rescued.

Actually, thinking about it, what she said wasn’t wrong. As long as it doesn’t harm oneself and is within one’s capabilities, helping others is not a bad thing, who knows if it will plant the seeds of good karma?

Anyway, in his case, if it weren’t for Daohua’s intervention, he would never have noticed the Yan Family.

“Look, those people have stopped!”

Daohua called out, snapping Xiao Yeyang back to attention.

At that moment, the group of well-dressed young men was standing in front of an elegantly decorated courtyard discussing something.

By their demeanor, they appeared to be disagreeing and had gotten into a dispute.

In the end, the lead young man entered with four or five others, while the remaining few left angrily, flinging their sleeves behind them.

“They’re fighting amongst themselves!”

Daohua looked on with ill-concealed glee.

In her eyes, those were just a group of spoiled young nobles. Judging by their cruel behavior in beating the merchant to death earlier, they were clearly not good people.

“Should we head back now?”

Having reached this point, Daohua felt it was time to head home, but Xiao Yeyang seemed to want to continue.

Xiao Yeyang shook his head, “I need to take a look inside the courtyard.” He then looked at Daohua with regret; he shouldn’t have brought her with him in the first place.

Going to teach Ma Feiyu a lesson was bound to lead to conflict. Taking such a young girl with him was, hmm… a bit of a burden!

Xiao Yeyang looked around and pointed to a restaurant across the street, “I’ll have Defu book a private room for you. You and your maid can wait for me there, alright?”

Daohua quickly shook her head and hesitated before asking, “Must you go inside?”

Xiao Yeyang nodded, “I must go in.”

Daohua glanced at Defu, who was standing by with his mouth shut without persuading otherwise, and after a moment’s thought she asked, “Do you have a grudge against those people?”

Xiao Yeyang’s expression suddenly turned cold, “Defu’s brother, Degui, was killed by someone named Ma Feiyu inside. My being abducted by traffickers also has something to do with that man.”

Upon hearing this, Daohua’s eyes widened and she clenched her teeth, then grabbed Xiao Yeyang saying with shared hostility, “Let’s go, let’s get him!”

Uh…

Xiao Yeyang hadn’t expected this reaction from Daohua. He stood still, staring at her with surprise.

Daohua kept tugging without moving him, turned her head back to look, and asked puzzled, “What, you’re not going now?”

Xiao Yeyang was stunned, “Why?”

Daohua frowned, “What do you mean why?”

Xiao Yeyang: “Why do you want to go in with me?”

Daohua stated matter-of-factly, “We are friends. Your enemies are my enemies. If you’re in trouble, of course, I have to help.”

Boom~

Xiao Yeyang felt as if something had struck his heart hard.

No dissuasion, no long-winded moralizing, and no concerns about this and that. In Daohua’s eyes, he only saw shared enmity.

Because they were friends, she was willing to stand by him without asking for reasons!

Friends…

Xiao Yeyang smiled.

Dong Yuanxuan had once asked him why he treated Daohua so differently.

What was his response at the time?

Because she was his lifesaver.

But now, he felt that his response then might have been wrong.

The reason he treated Daohua differently was that Daohua treated him not just like any other, but during their interactions, she showed more genuine sincerity than others.

Take tonight’s event, for example, his two study companions, Dong Yuanxuan and Su Hongxin, would surely have tried to stop him from teaching Ma Feiyu a lesson if they knew.

Why?

Because Zhongzhou Province was under the control of their fathers, and if he got into a dispute with Ma Feiyu, no matter which side encountered trouble, their fathers would not end well.

Therefore, from the beginning, both of them could not possibly put themselves in his shoes and consider the matter from his perspective.

He had many people around him, but no matter what they did, they would weigh the benefits and losses, and his inner feelings would always come after those considerations.

Those who followed him, he allowed them to gain benefits from him, but likewise, he wished to receive some genuine sentiment in return.

Reality is often cruel, with most of those lingering around him filled with flattery, ingratiating behavior, adulation, and sycophancy; genuine feelings were almost nonexistent.

Your enemy is my enemy!

Daohua’s words truly touched his heart.

He never expected, the one to say such words to him would be a young girl.

“Hey, what are you daydreaming about?”

Looking at Daohua, who was insistently pulling him, showing little restraint, Xiao Yeyang broke into a laugh, flexed his arm and, in turn, pulled her towards the courtyard Ma Feiyu had entered.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang heading straight for the main entrance, Daohua was baffled and quickly stopped him, “You’re planning to enter through the front door?”

Xiao Yeyang: “Otherwise?”

Daohua immediately shot him a ‘you’re so stupid’ look: “You knew to tail him and not expose yourself before, so how can you be so foolish at a critical moment? Of course, we’ll climb over the wall.” As she spoke, she began dragging him towards the wall of the courtyard.

…

Looking at the over two-meter-high courtyard wall, Daohua touched her chin and came to a halt.

To the side, Xiao Yeyang was somewhat speechless, “Now how do you plan to get in, fly?”

Daohua glared at him, “If I could fly, I wouldn’t need to be standing here.” After finishing her sentence, she looked around and, spotting a tree next to the wall, her eyes suddenly lit up.

“Come on, let’s climb the tree to get in.”

Watching Daohua dash to the tree and start climbing up without a second thought, Xiao Yeyang opened his mouth wide in astonishment and glanced at Dufu, somewhat dumbfounded.

“I feel like, Daohua was born the wrong gender; she should’ve been a boy!”

Dufu forced a smile, but he dared not respond.

Nearby, Wang Manman, who had been silently following them, couldn’t help but speak up discontentedly, “So what if she climbs a tree? My girl looks good even climbing a tree.”

Uh…

Xiao Yeyang and Dufu fell silent together.

Fine, let’s go climb a tree!

Even more speechless than they were, were the black-clothed figures hidden in the shadows, silently protecting Xiao Yeyang.

Climbing a tree to get in, what were these people thinking, do they have brains?

Didn’t they know the place was guarded by Protectors?

And even if there weren’t any Protectors, wouldn’t there at least be a couple of watchdogs?

Look, as soon as that young girl climbed up the tree, two large black dogs started running towards that part of the wall.

Damn!

The young master also climbed up the tree, oh my, slow down, wait for him, and hopefully, he doesn’t get bitten by the dogs!
