Chapter 647 - 636: In Front of the Grave
The little girl used to fight too, but back then she seemed to only tangle with Bai Shan, and at most they would wrestle on the ground, slapping each other and biting each other. Ms. Qian dismissed it as just children’s squabbles.
However, this time the fight was not only on a larger scale, but also fiercer, escalating to throwing rocks and tumbling into the water. A moment of carelessness could have been fatal, so Ms. Qian was quite furious.

Old Zhou paused, seeing her place the food in front of her parents’ graves, and quickly pointed to another freshly pointed grave, saying, "Bring some of it to your uncles and aunts too, and the incense, paper money... Let’s talk to them..."
