Protagonist:

Chai Mi

Once the calf was thoroughly tame, Chai Mi used a kitchen knife to cut the rope, and the calf was free; afterward, its four hooves flew as it ran off.

Chai You De, up on the roof, clutched his head while shouting down below.

"Mom, Dad. You two come out and manage this, Chai Mi, that crazy girl, stole my calf back and even slashed me with a kitchen knife. If you don't give me an explanation, I won't let this go with her."

Chai Mi raised her head and curled her lip with disdain: "Come on, Chai Lao San. If you have the guts, come down; I want to see how you won't let this go with me."

Chai You De naturally didn't dare come down, after all Chai Mi had really slashed someone with a kitchen knife, and he was truly injured.

The saying goes: the soft fear the hard, the hard fear those who don't care about their lives.

Chai Mi was exactly that kind of person who didn't care about her life now; Chai You De avoided her at all costs, so how could he dare come down? What if Chai Mi slipped and chopped off his head?

Though afraid in his heart, Chai You De refused to back down with his mouth.

"If you have the guts, come up here."

Chai Mi gave a cold laugh; this Chai You De was indeed born a shameless, thick-skinned fellow, and also a drunkard. His character was beyond looking at, terribly bad, and his conduct in the world was truly a mess. He had no connections at all, was especially lazy, surviving only on the small wages his wife Che Lianyun earned as a primary school teacher, and also sponging off his parents.

And he truly sponged off them.

Chai You De was already in his thirties; farming was no good, work was no good. He had attended high school but later dropped out; he had learned masonry but later feared fatigue; he had served as a village group leader but was later removed for embezzlement; he went to the city to work, and later was caught messing around with someone else's wife...

It could be said that in Chai Mi's lifetime, she had never seen Chai You De strive once.

But Chai You De knew how to cry.

He started crying at the slightest thing, without restraint.

Chai Mi was looking left and right, seeing if she could get onto the roof from somewhere else, but after looking around, she found she seemed to only be able to climb up with a ladder; otherwise she truly couldn't get up.

This house at the old home was a single-story building, five large single-story rooms facing south. The two eastern rooms were where Chai Zhongxiao and Wang Huirong lived; the three western rooms, two were where Chai You De and his wife, along with their four-year-old son Chai Erwei, lived. The westernmost room was where Chai You De's eldest son Chai Dajun lived.

Chai You De and Che Lianyun had two children: eldest son Chai Dajun, seventeen years old, had dropped out of school, exactly the age to marry a wife. Second son Chai Erwei, four years old, just at the age to be weaned.

Chai Dajun was idle and not home today; Che Lianyun had gone to the school to work.

Chai You De's second son Chai Erwei was right now being held in Chai Zhongxiao's arms, being cuddled in various ways.

These five single-story rooms should be about three meters six high; Chai Mi couldn't climb up. Nearby, except for the wall of the West Courtyard which she could climb, there was nowhere else she could get up.

Chai Mi saw that Chai Zhongxiao and Wang Huirong weren't coming out either, playing dead inside the house; she didn't know if they truly hadn't seen her come, or were truly afraid she would slash them with the kitchen knife; anyway, neither of them came out.

Chai Mi thought for a moment, directly knocked the ladder over, then ran toward the western courtyard wall and climbed up.

Chai You De was immediately stunned, because he couldn't get down, but Chai Mi could definitely come up.

Chai You De looked all over the roof, with absolutely no way out; he was anxious to the extreme, shouting loudly for people, but no one came out.

Chai Mi was on top of the wall, smiling as she said: "Ai yo, my good Third Uncle. You let me come up, and I really have come up."

Chai You De's eyes were red, cursing: "Chai Mi, don't go too far. You know even a cornered rabbit will bite. Don't come over; if you come over again, I'll fight you to the death."
