"This child... doesn't seem to be from our village, does he..."
Someone knowledgeable thought for a moment, patted their head, and said, "I know who this child is..."
"He's the boy from the Yuan Family in Banmu Village next door."
"Ah, it's him... Why did he come to our village?"
"Probably couldn't take another beating from his dad... so he ran over here..."
"But I heard, this boy is really rebellious, acting tough and fierce at such a young age, defying his dad several times. No wonder the Yuan Family beats him so badly."
"Wasn't someone from the Yuan Family once a well-regarded young man in these ten miles, until that educated mom of his messed him up... They had four kids, yet she left nothing behind. Went to the city and never came back, no one can handle that."
"I guess the Yuan boy takes after his mom too, such a hard heart... Everyone knows how well his dad treated him before, treated him like a little prince."
