His heart ached.
His love for his younger brother had also become colder. He was determined to not let his younger brother be a leech to his family.
The next moment, he was afraid that others would see it, so he quickly wiped his eyes with his big hand. However, he also realized that everyone in his family was already looking at him.
“What are you all looking at me for? Continue eating!” He laughed.
“It’s good that he doesn’t want to acknowledge you anymore.” The person outside continued. “Alright, stop howling. If your father comes, you’ll get a beating.”
Who knew that Xue Dagui would start mumbling to himself, “My brother doesn’t acknowledge me anymore. My father will find out sooner or later. No, I have to go and talk to my father first.”
Perhaps there was still room for redemption.
No matter what, he was still his brother — someone who had doted on him since he was young. He had no intention of abandoning him. He had never thought that he would one day fight with his own brother like this.
Xue Dagui’s mumbling wasn’t loud, so only Zhang Meili and Xue Zhuzi, who were very close to him, could hear him. Seeing Xue Dagui like this, the two of them thought that he was going to find Xue Da to back them up, so they happily followed him.
There was no sound outside. Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, Xue Dafu, and the others thought that Xue Dagui and the other two had gone home in fear of bringing Xue Da back. They had no idea that the three of them had gone to look for Xue Da instead.
When Xue Da was woken up from his bed, Zhang Meili was the first to cry before Xue Dagui could say anything. “Father, your son’s family is not even willing to give us one silver and even beat us. Look at the marks all over our bodies, not only are they red, but they are also swollen. Zhuzi, quickly take off your clothes and let him see your back.”
“Okay!” Xue Zhuzi quickly took off his shirt, revealing the marks on his back that had been abused by the carrying pole. He was sure that Xue Da would stand up for him.
Xue Erfu was really ruthless, and the marks on his back were especially obvious.
In the end, Xue Da didn’t feel any heartache at all. He even raised his walking stick and hit Xue Zhuzi on the back. “You’re a scoundrel and you still have the nerve to come to me for help! Good! Good, he did that! Why didn’t the rich family beat you three shameless humans to death!”
“Are you crazy old man?!” Xue Zhuzi was furious. He grabbed Xue Da’s walking stick and wanted to hit Xue Da.
“Xue Zhuzi! Who are you calling an old?!” This time, Xue Dagui was anxious. He took off one of his shoes and facedXue Zhuzi, “I’ll beat you to death, you b*stard! What! Do you still want to fight an old man? Don’t you know how old he is?”
Xue Zhuzi could only cry out in pain.
“Stop, stop, stop!” Zhang Meili stopped Xue Dagui, but knowing that he was stronger than her, she knew that she wouldn’t be able to stop him in the end. She shouted at her eldest son, “Zhuzi, what are you waiting for? Run!”
Xue Zhuzi immediately ran away, faster than a rabbit.
“You wretched woman, how dare you stop me!” Xue Dagui pushed Zhang Meili away, but Xue Zhuzi had already run away, so he couldn’t catch up. He then shouted at Zhang Meili, “Get lost!”
After Zhang Meili left, Xue Dagui knelt in front of Xue Da and cried, “Father, I’m sorry. Your other son won’t acknowledge me anymore. Please don’t disown me as well… I’ll teach that brat a lesson later… Father, don’t be mad. Just treat it as you’ve doted on him for nothing… I’ll take better care of you in the future…”
