Chen Qiushu was so nervous because he was caught in the act that he dropped the bag in his hand to the ground.
Before he could figure out how to defend himself, he was slapped hard by Old Man Shen.
I was feeling guilty to begin with, but now I feel aggrieved.
Shen Qiushu covered his face with his hands and yelled at Old Man Shen in the same grief and anger: "What do you think I did? If you hadn't forced me to do it, would I have stolen anything?"
She had previously claimed that the betrothal gift she received from the marriage with Zhao Changgui's family would be used for his marriage, but now she is reluctant to give it out.
When Old Man Shen saw his horrible appearance, he was even more furious: "You stole food and you feel wronged?"
"Tell me the truth, where did the food go?"
Chen Qiushu was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He stiffened his neck and said, "I changed the money. I lost the money."
Old Man Shen widened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief: "You...you took it to gamble?"
Chen Qiushu answered very bluntly: "Yes, didn't you tell me to find a way to make money myself? How can I make money quickly? The only way is by playing cards!"
"At most, I won more than 10 cents in a few rounds. If I try a few more times, I might be able to win more than a dollar."
When it comes to playing cards, Chen Qiushu immediately becomes like a different person, hunching his shoulders, rubbing his hands, and wishing he could go to Ergouzi's house right now to play a few rounds.
"You...you evil creature!"
Old man Shen was so angry that he pointed at him with shaking hands, then turned around and looked for his weapon.
He picked up the broom, but felt it was too light. He ran to the outer room to pick up the firewood stick, but felt it was too thick.
He simply ran to the pile of firewood in the yard, pulled out a thin branch, and returned to the house.
"I told you to gamble. I told you to gamble."
Old Man Shen raised the branch and hit Old Third Shen with it.
Shen Qiushu quickly raised his arms to protect his head and ran around the room to avoid being beaten by Old Man Shen.
Old man Shen chased after him, and Shen Xiashu tried to persuade him from behind. For a moment, the room was filled with noise.
Chen Chunshu, who was sleeping in the west room, stood at the door wearing a cotton jacket and listened for a long time.
He woke up when the noise in the east room just started.
Wang Huilian stood behind him and asked him quietly, "Do you want to go over and try to persuade them?"
Chen Chunshu quickly shushed her: "Why go there now? It's all because of the third brother's marriage. What if Dad asks us to take out the money?"
When Wang Huilian heard this, she quickly took off her shoes and got into bed, and then hurriedly called out to Shen Chunshu: "Then why are you still standing there? Why don't you come back and pretend to sleep?"
Chen Chunshu rolled his eyes in the dark and replied impatiently: "Then you have to know yourself and your enemy. You old woman, sleep with me as you please."
Shen Weimin and Shen Limin, who were lying next to them, had also woken up long ago.
Wang Huilian heard the noise of them turning over, and before they could open their mouths to ask, she said first: "Go to sleep, it's an adult matter, children should stay out of the fun."
All of a sudden, the two brothers told the engine to stall. They turned over in anger and faced their backs to Wang Huilian.
The noise in the east room lasted for a long time.
Old man Shen was so tired that he was a little out of breath, but no one from the west room came over yet.
Only Li Xiang heard the noise. She came over in a casual cotton jacket and stood at the door of the outer room, not daring to speak.
Following behind was Shen Siyue who was watching the fun.
As for the youngest son whom Old Lady Wang doted on the most, it could be said that Old Man Shen had never touched Chen Qiushu at all.
As long as Old Man Shen wanted to hit him, Old Lady Wang would have stepped forward to stop him.
This was the first time she saw Shen Qiushu being beaten!
She couldn't miss such a lively scene.
Old man Shen leaned on the edge of the kang, panting and ordering the stubborn second brother: "Go, go to that room and call your eldest brother over. You two brothers hold him down. I must beat him up today and let him remember this lesson."
Chen Xiashu wanted to persuade him again: "Dad, calm down. Even if you kill the third brother, you won't be able to get the food back!"
Seeing that he didn't move, Old Man Shen flew into a rage: "I told you to go, and you went. Are you not going to listen to me?"
Chen Xiashu was frightened by the anger on his father's face, so he had to go and call Chen Chunshu obediently.
At this time, Chen Chunshu ran back to the kang.
When Shen Xiashu came over, Shen Chunshu had just gotten into bed.
Chen Xiashu, who was naive, didn't notice at all: "Brother, Dad wants you to come over."
Chen Chunshu pretended to have just woken up and asked vaguely, "Old Second? What's going on so late at night? Can't we wait until tomorrow?"
Chen Xiashu: "Hurry up, the third child has made Dad angry, I can't persuade him, you go over and persuade him!"
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the east room.
Shen Chunshu cursed the idiot in his heart and had to get up and put on his clothes again.
When Shen Chunshu came over, he saw the third brother standing at the end of the kang, while Old Man Shen and the second brother were blocking the door.
"Dad, what's going on? What did the third child do to make you angry again?"
After that, I didn't wait for Old Man Shen to say anything, and shouted at Old Third Shen who was looking down with an unconvinced look on his face: "No matter what you did, admit your mistake to Dad."
Shen Qiushu turned his head to the side: "I did nothing wrong, why should I admit my mistake?"
Old Man Shen: "You still don't know you're wrong? Boss, second brother, catch him. I'm going to beat him until he admits his mistake today."
Shen Lao Er grabbed Old Man Shen and was about to ask his eldest brother to persuade him, but he didn't expect Shen Chunshu to be as serious as Shen Qiushu.
Chen Qiushu didn't expect him to come over, and he couldn't dodge in time, so he was hugged by Chen Chunshu.
"Second brother, come quickly? I caught the third brother."
