Brittany stared unblinkingly at David and grabbed his wrist as he reached out.
Then she held David's shoulders and pressed down with the strength of her body.
These movements were done in one go. Before David could react, his body involuntarily leaned forward with this force.
At this moment, Brittany quickly let go of her left hand and her right hand tugged him forward.
The next second, David's voice sounded like a pig being slaughtered. "My arm-"
Brittany let go of her right hand and quickly took a few steps back. She looked at David coldly and dislocated his arm which was the idea that also came to her mind.
As a medical family's successor, this was not difficult for her.
David howled a few times and suddenly glared at Brittany. "Little b*tch, what did you do to my arm?"
As he spoke, he reached out his other hand to grab Brittany.
Brittany sneered. Instead of retreating, she advanced and grabbed at David's injured arm.
Usually, when a joint is dislocated, it will not hurt if it is not moved, but the pain will be fatal if it is moved.
When David saw her reaching out her hand, he suddenly realized her purpose and hurriedly retreated. He didn't want to experience that pain again.
Brittany saw that David did not dare to go forward anymore and said coldly, "If I were you, I would see a doctor quickly. Otherwise, your arm would be crippled."
She wasn't trying to remind him out of kindness, but even if David could only move one arm, his combat strength was still stronger than hers.
If he were to go all out in pain, subduing her would only take an instant. She had to get rid of him as soon as possible.
David's expression changed drastically. He gritted his teeth and said, "Little b*tch, I'll deal with you after my arm is healed." With that, he ran home with his left hand covering his right arm.
Seeing that he had run far away, Brittany patted the soil off her body, walked not far away, picked up a bundle of firewood on the ground, carried it on her back, and then slowly returned to the Rivers family's house.
As soon as she entered the courtyard of the Rivers family, she saw David and his mother, Mrs. Woods, standing in the courtyard. David Rivers shouted, "How can these few copper coins be enough?"
"I want to send for a chaise to the county town and pay the doctor."
Brittany walked around them and walked along the wall to the outside of the kitchen. She put down the firewood and then heard Mrs. Woods' sharp voice, "Brittany, you jinx. Where do you get the gall? How dare you hurt my David! I'll beat you to death!"
Brittany turned around and saw Mrs. Woods, who had high cheekbones, walking over with a stick.
David followed behind Mrs. Woods with a dark expression.
Brittany quickly ran into the kitchen and picked up a chopper in the corner of the kitchen. She held it horizontally in front of her chest.
Mrs. Long, who was cutting vegetables in the kitchen, looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Before Brittany could answer, Mrs. Woods rushed in with the stick.
The moment she entered, she saw Brittany standing there with a chopper in her hand. She looked like she was going to fight her to the death.
Mrs. Woods paused for a moment, but she still rushed toward Brittany.
Mrs. Long strode over and stopped her. "Woods, what are you doing? How did Brittany offend you?"
Mrs. Woods looked at the shiny kitchen knife in Mrs. Long's hand and was worried that she would be accidentally injured. She stopped in her tracks and said angrily, "Look at David. I don't know if David's arm is dislocated or broken and it hurts which is caused by this jinx."
Brittany looked at Mrs. Woods coldly.
Other than the eldest branch, the rest of the family called her either a little slut or a jinx.
Today, she had even gotten a new nickname from David-"Little Bitch".
