160 Ladylike Thing To Do (1/2)
It had been one week since Rin revealed her hunting skills to the siblings. Since then, they had traded the spare meat to stall and shop owners in the market, earning more than enough money to support them for a year.
While the three were happier than ever, some villagers weren't pleased with the sibling's new lucky charm.
With reluctance, Aiguo finished his chores for the day and was going home, carrying a load of folded clothes in a basket. At the same time, three young village boys a few years older than him were heading to the cove to go fishing.
When they noticed Aiguo, who was going in the direction of the mountain trail to his home, the snickering boys surrounded him.
A boy grabbed Aiguo's collar and yanked it downwards. Caught off guard, Aiguo's neck felt like it was going to snap from the sudden boy's attack. He staggered a few steps backward to avoid falling.
Regaining his balance, Aiguo noticed the basket of clothes had fallen flat on the dirt snow ground. He shot a glare at the three boys.
”Hey! What was that for?!” Aiguo bellowed angrily as he stared fiercely at the three.

”What? Did you say something?” One of the boys sniggered. ”We don't understand dirty blooded bastards like you.”
They laughed and looked at Aiguo, muttering things he could not hear. Deciding to ignore them, Aiguo stepped to the fallen basket and placed the clothes back inside.
When he saw the clothes, he had cleaned were now covered in black dirt, his eyes dimmed. He was extremely angry now.
Just when he wanted to beat the boys up for ruining his hard work, he recalled the pretty emerald-eyed girl's words.
Use your words, not your fists.
Aiguo's hand squeezes the clothes, his knuckles pale. He stood up with the basket in his hand. He turned to the teenage boys who were now looking back at him.
”These clothes, I just washed them.” He started calmly.
The boys raised eyebrows, looking at the boy as if he was dumb.
”So? Are you going to cry about it?” One snorted coldly.
”No.” Aiguo hesitated slightly and then his gaze turned resolute again. His next words were full of control. ”I want you three to clean them. It was your fault they got dirty, so clean them as compensation.”
At that moment, the boys stared at Aiguo with stunned gazes, completely caught off guard by his words. They looked at his serious and calm gaze. Inexplicably, they felt much more annoyed seeing this rather than his usual raging face.
”You have dogs' blood, now you're talking like a dog! Stupid bastard.” One walked up to the small boy and struck him directly in the shin.
An intense pain shot through Aiguo's leg. His knees buckled and he started to fall before another foot slams into his stomach. Back and forth. Right leg, left leg. Each boy begins to kick him, forcing him to remain fallen on the ground – hands covering his head.
Even if he tried standing up, he would most likely suffer some damage to his head. However, if he got up quickly enough he could…
No. He couldn't use violence! He promised Rin he would not.
”Dirty bastard! You think because you have that pretty little slut with you that you can be cocky now?”
”Haha, hunting meat. What kind of woman could do that? I bet she's using that excuse while she tastes all the men in town!”
”You and your bastard sister should just die!”
