Xue Dagui was running in circles in the courtyard, apologizing as he ran. Unlike Xue Zhuzi and Zhang Meili, he was panicking. He didn’t expect his brother to get that angry and serious.
This had never happened before.
In the end, he couldn’t take it and ran away.
With a bang, Xue Dafu slammed the courtyard door shut and bolted it.
Xue Dafu was a little breathless from the fight just now. He turned around and saw his wife crying and laughing at the same time. It was as if the haze had passed. His eyes immediately turned red.
“I’ve been muddleheaded all these years.” Xue Dafu wiped his face with his large hand as if he was wiping away his tears. “I’ve made you guys suffer a lot of grievances, I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry.”
“It’s okay.” Liu Guixia quickly wiped her tears and smiled.
Xue Erfu and the others also laughed. Xue Yan also put down his ax with a smile, but he didn’t let go. The ax hung down beside him.
Xue Wufu still couldn’t stop crying.
At this moment, Xue Dagui had placed something on the wall and was leaning over it. He peeked his head out and shouted at Xue Dafu, “Dear brother, you really can’t disown me! It’s fine if you don’t recognize Zhuzi and Meili, but I’m your biological brother. You can’t deny it. I won’t be a scoundrel to you in the future, okay? Ah? My dear brother, say something. Can you talk to me?”
“Get lost!” Xue Dafu grabbed a broom and threw it at him.
Xue Dagui’s head immediately disappeared, and he even let out a long wail. He must have fallen to the ground while trying to hide from the broom.
“Whatever.” Xue Wufu, who had been crying with snot all over his face, finally laughed. His snot even turned into a bubble because of his laughter.
It immediately caused all of them to burst into laughter. Xue Wufu felt embarrassed and quickly wiped off the bubble.
“Alright, alright. Let’s continue eating. It’s fine now. I’m fine now!” Liu Guixia shouted happily. Her words were now lighter than before.
Xue Erfu, Yu Hongyan, and the others were the same. Xue Dafu couldn’t help but wipe his face. Then, he went back to his meal with a smile.
Xue Yan returned to Jiang Yue’s side and put the ax at her feet. She glanced at the ax and said in a low voice, “Well done.”
Her words were so sharp that Xue Yan immediately sobered up. It was as if such a thing would never happen again.
Even if it did happen, it would be like today, beaten away by Xue Dafu with a shoulder pole.
If she were to make a move, Xue Dagui, Zhang Meili, and Xue Zhuzi would be scared out of their wits, and the three of them wouldn’t dare to act shamelessly again.
Although this was also a solution, she decided that his method was more efficient.
Her method would only make Xue Dagui and the other two afraid, but it wouldn’t change Xue Dafu’s mind. Xue Dafu would definitely still think that he was Xue Dagui’s third brother, and if he could give in, he would. Then, his family would naturally be upset.
Xue Yan’s method completely eliminated this problem.
He was strategizing every move. With such a weak body, if he wasn’t good at strategy, how could he protect himself?
He must have had a great time in his previous life, but the results must not have been good. That was why he wanted to stay in this small village and grow crops as an ordinary person.
Hearing her praise him, Xue Yan looked at her in surprise, “You won’t blame me for taking your ax?”
