The Mightiest Little Peasant

one other than Teacher Jiang.

However, her beautiful face seemed haggard.
Her usually animated eyes seemed dull.

She stood at the door and stared at Tang Hao without saying a word.

Then, tears welled in her eyes, and she started sobbing.

She bit her lip, stepped forward, and fell into Tang Hao’s arms.

At that instant, she did not care for social norms.
She could finally put down her strong front and show her vulnerability.

Three men dressed in black stood behind her.
They had shocked expressions on their faces.

‘Who is this kid? Where did he come from?

‘Don’t tell me… he’s Young Miss’s boyfriend?

‘That can’t be.
Their ages are so far apart!

‘Also, how did this kid find us?’

“Who… is he, Young… Young Miss?” One of the men wearing shades asked.

The person was well-built and kept a thick beard.
He seemed menacing.

“Oh!” Jiang Wanying came to her senses.
She let go of Tang Hao and took a step back.
Her beautiful face blushed as she said, “He? He’s my student!”

“Huh?”

The three people were confused when they heard that.

“Student? I say, Young Miss, why did you call your student to come? Will he be of any help? We’re already barely keeping ourselves alive, and now we’re saddled with another burden.”

“That’s right, Young Miss! Can’t you see the situation we’re in? We’re making sure that all of us survive.
Did you call him here to die with us?”

The people were complaining.

It was already hard enough for them to protect a weak and delicate Young Miss.
How would they manage now that her student was with them?

What could a student possibly do? This was not a game.

“Get him to run away quickly before they target him, Young Miss! Otherwise, if he gets involved and takes a bullet, that’ll be the end of him.”

Jiang Wanying furrowed her brows.
“Don’t say that.
He’s very amazing! With him around, we’ll be safe.”

The three people were surprised, and then they started laughing.

“He’s amazing! Haha! Does he look strong at all, Young Miss?”

“That’s right.
He looks young, and perhaps he has a slick tongue, but I don’t think he can be of any help.
Look at his scrawny and pale arms.
He looks like a girl.”

The three men could not hide the mockery on their faces.

They had always looked down upon softies.

Tang Hao glanced at them but did not bother explaining himself.

“How… how can you say that?” Jiang Wanying shouted in frustration.

The three men were baffled.

“Young Miss…” The burly middle-aged man wanted to explain.

He knew when to keep his mouth shut when he saw Jiang Wanying’s face.

He turned and glared at Tang Hao.

‘Why did this kid come over from so far away? Does he think that he’s a hero?

‘Hmph! Kids.
They don’t know what’s dangerous for them.
Is he just trying to impress the Young Miss? Can’t he look at himself? He’s more like a zero than a hero!’

“Why aren’t you running away yet, you filthy kid? If you’re not leaving, then you’d better come in quickly! Don’t stand at the door like a target!” He said exasperatedly.

“Don’t mind him.
He has a bad temper!” Jiang Wanying whispered.

She quickly pulled Tang Hao into the house.

After Tang Hao sat down inside, he asked Jiang Wanying, “What’s going on? Right, where are your parents?”

“We’ve… gotten separated,” Jiang Wanying said softly.
Tang Hao could tell that she was very worried.

“And… your grandfather?” Tang Hao asked.

“He’s… gone.
All this mess started when my grandfather passed away a few days ago,” Jiang Wanying said.
