"who!"
Bai Hongbing was about to grab his weapon when the man spoke.
"Brother, it's me." Bai Mo still looked frivolous, but his eyes were bloodshot and his expression was a little tired, which showed that he had not slept all night.
"Second brother?" Bai Hongbing then remembered that he hadn't seen Bai Mo since yesterday morning. "Where have you been? Why didn't you come back all night?"
"cough!"
Bai Mo coughed lightly.
To be honest, after he made up his mind, he went to find those acquaintances in the county early in the morning and said that he wanted to follow them. The leader, Brother Jiang, assigned him a task and they would take action tonight.
Since receiving the goods this time is quite dangerous, Brother Jiang asked him to come back and say goodbye to his family, or this is his last chance to change his mind and choose to stay and not take the risk.
That night he rushed from the county town to the brigade, and it took him most of the night to return home.
If he hasn't changed his mind and wants to continue making big money with Brother Jiang, he will have to set off for the county town at noon today.
Obviously, these things cannot be told to Bai Hongbing. Otherwise, if he tells them, Bai Hongbing will tell his parents. How can he leave then?
Bai Mo pulled the corner of his mouth and decisively chose to throw the question back, "I also want to ask, big brother, why don't you go into the house to sleep, but sit in the yard?"
“I, I…”
Bai Hongbing immediately lowered his head, not knowing how to explain to Bai Mo.
Bai Mo stepped forward, put his arm on Bai Hongbing's shoulder, and acted like a good brother. He joked, "Could it be that you did something to offend your sister-in-law and she kicked you out? I can't tell. I thought you were such an honest man."
"No!" Bai Hongbing quickly denied, "It was Huang Xia... She asked me to talk to my parents about dividing the family property. We'll have to move out from now on."
Bai Mo wondered, "Why would they want to split up the family for no reason?"
Bai Hongbing hesitated for a long time before finally explaining what he knew. "Yesterday, Mom didn't have time to take my younger sister to the commune, so she asked your sister-in-law to take her. On the way, we met your sister-in-law's cousin. It seemed like he had done something to upset my younger sister, so she wanted to take both of them to the police station. Your sister-in-law was afraid that she would have conflicts with my younger sister if I stayed at home, so she asked me to talk to my parents about dividing the family property."
Hearing this, Bai Mo's face suddenly darkened. "Brother! How could you be so easily fooled? It's obvious that Huang Xia is instructing her cousin, that scoundrel, to ruin my innocence. Then I'll have no choice but to marry her!"
Bai Hongbing said hesitantly, "Second Brother, you're overthinking it."
"I think it's obvious that you don't think enough. Huang Xia has been fooling you around like a donkey all day long!"
"Second brother! I, I am your eldest brother after all, how can you scold me like that?"
Bai Mo sneered, "If you want me to stop scolding you, then don't do anything stupid!"
"Second brother, how dare you say that to me!" Bai Hongbing's eyes were filled with anger. "Do I need to tell you what you intend for my younger sister? Don't forget, she's our younger sister!"
Bai Hongbing was almost ten years older than Bai Ying. Of course he knew that Bai Ying was not the Bai family's biological child, but was picked up by their mother from outside. She had no blood relationship with them and the brothers. The second brother was less than five years old at the time and could not remember anything, so he did not know this secret.
Over the years, he has witnessed with his own eyes that Bai Mo cares too much about his younger sister, far beyond the distance that should exist between siblings. He has also struggled with whether to tell this to his second brother and help them.
But he saw that his younger sister really only regarded him as her second brother, so after careful consideration, he decided not to reveal this secret to Bai Mo. He knew that once this matter was exposed, the family would most likely break up.
"Shut up!"
Hearing his elder brother directly point out the secret hidden in his heart, Bai Mo could no longer suppress his temper and punched Bai Hongbing in the face.
Bai Hongbing was also furious after being beaten. "Hiss... Second brother, how dare you hit me? You have such dirty thoughts about the little sister we watched grow up. You deserve to be beaten!"
Perhaps with the idea of venting their inner anger, Bai Hongbing and Bai Mo started punching each other.
The east wing opposite.
Bai Ying, woken up by the sound of fighting, sat up from the bed. She turned her head to look out the dim window, extremely puzzled, "What's going on? Is there a thief in the house?"
Bai Ying was not fully awake yet, and her eyes were a little confused.
Farmers were so poor that they barely had enough food to eat, so where would they get the spare money to let thieves steal? During the day, the village was full of eyes, and even the trivial matters of family life were spread widely, not to mention that strangers could enter the village without attracting attention.
At night, there are patrol teams composed of militiamen in the village. Once they catch anyone doing something dishonest, they will be criticized and sentenced. Which stupid thief would do such a losing business?
Bai Ying's intuition told her that the noise might not be caused by a thief. After thinking about it, she put on her clothes, took a stick used to hold the door, and went out to check.
When she left the house, what caught Bai Ying's eyes was Bai Hongbing and Bai Mo fighting fiercely in the yard.
Bai Ying was extremely worried, fearing that the two would wake up their parents, so she quickly stepped forward to stop them, "Big Brother, Second Brother, stop fighting!"
The two then separated.
After they separated, they were still a little angry and continued to glare at each other fiercely.
Neither of them gained anything from this fight and both were beaten black and blue.
Although Bai Hongbing was a strong man, as powerful as an ox, he was an honest man who rarely got into conflicts. Bai Mo had fought more fights than he had eaten since he was a child, so his fighting experience was quite extensive, which was why his injuries were relatively minor.
"Brother, what are you doing? We are brothers, why don't you talk it out peacefully? Why do you have to fight?" Bai Ying said helplessly.
