Xue Erfu laughed so hard that he fell to the ground. “Wufu, you’re really something. It’s more like you’re listening to Xue Yan.”
Xue Yan also smiled. He had just finished applying the medicine for his fifth brother. He stood up and washed his hands in the wooden basin next to him.
“Why are you laughing so loudly? I’ll strangle you! I’ll strangle you to death!” Xue Wufu laughed as he pounced over, looking like he was going to strangle Xue Erfu to death, but his hands only grabbed Xue Erfu’s shoulders and shook him.
Xue Erfu’s head was about to fall off from the shaking, but he was laughing so hard that he was almost out of breath.
The smile on Xue Yan’s face also grew bigger.
Perhaps it was because everyone was happy, Jiang Yue also smiled as she watched. It felt quite heartwarming just to fool around and laugh.
“Alright, stop playing.” Xue Erfu walked in with a smile. He was in a good mood. “It’s getting dark, let’s head to bed. Jiang Yue, your bath is ready for you, and the lights in the room have also been lit, you should go quickly. ”
“Okay.” Jiang Yue obediently left.
That night, everyone had a good sleep.
The next day, Jiang Yue had just finished washing her face under the roof when she heard a woman carrying a basin of clothes telling Liu Guixia at the entrance of the courtyard that Xue Zhuzi had been beaten half to death by Xue Dagui at home last night. If the village chief hadn’t arrived in time, Xue Dagui would have beaten Xue Zhuzi to death.
He even said that Xue Zhuzi was lying in bed and couldn’t get up at all.
Jiang Yue found it strange. Even if the three of them had been chased out yesterday, Xue Dagui shouldn’t have beaten his own son to death.
“It seems like Zhuzi hit his own Grandfather,” the woman continued.
Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes.
Liu Guixia was shocked and immediately asked, “Is my father alright? That b*stard! Vile beast! Why didn’t anyone tell us!”
Liu Guixia panicked and kept shouting for Xue Dafu and Xue Yan.
When Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, Xue Erfu, Li Hehua, Xue Erfu, Yu Hongyan, and Xue Wufu — who was being carried by Xue Erfu — arrived at Xue Da’s place, they found him smiling as he strolled around in the courtyard with his walking stick.
“You’re all here? I knew I couldn’t hide it from you.” Xue Da chuckled and sat down on a chair with his walking stick. “Alright, alright. Don’t worry. Everything that happened last night has been settled. If something really happened to me, would Darong not tell you? I’m living with my eldest son. He couldn’t go to town to sell vegetables in peace today. That child, Zhuzi, didn’t hit me either. Dagui stopped him in time. Dagui couldn’t take it and went back to discipline him. Even the village chief knew about it, so the people around his house naturally knew about it. Otherwise, how would you know?”
“Father…” Xue Dafu opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
However, Xue Da cut him off and smiled, “I know what you want to say, but you did the right thing last night. You should have done this long ago. You’re too kind and just because you’re his biological brother doesn’t mean you have to be like this. I’ve told you more than once to be like your big brother and not help him. Don’t you think you’ve over-spoiled him?”
Xue Dafu lowered his head. His brother had always been pestering him about this matter, so he had to bear a great responsibility.
