Before Zhong Chengyi could say anything, Li Hongjuan jumped up first.
"Mom! How could you do this!" She was furious. "It's just a set of clothes, is it that serious?"
"Now that it's your turn, it becomes 'just one set of clothes'?" Zhang Chunxue sneered, "Does our Yuanyuan like the clothes your Zhong Hongqing is wearing?"
Zhong Cheng's face flushed with embarrassment. He quickly said, "Mom, no need for that. Wait a few days until the rain stops and the clothes are dry. I'll come get Hongqing's clothes and bring these over too..."
Unexpectedly, Zhong Chengyi quickly said, "Hey, Mom, please give me your nephew's clothes. I will send them to you when the weather clears up!"
He was thinking that he would be closer to his mother by then!
Zhong Cheng was so angry that he just glared at Zhong Chengyi.
Song Yanshen took off Zhong Hongqing's still wet clothes and brought them over.
Zhong Chengyi took it and touched Song Yanshen's head.
Song Yanshen immediately hid to the side.
Zhong Chengyi suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and even joked: "This child, why is he so introverted!"
Zhang Chunxue said impatiently, "Do you have anything else to do? If not, then go! It's getting late!"
Zhong Chengfa immediately nodded and bowed: "Yes, yes, let's go now..."
As he spoke, he pulled Li Hongjuan and took the umbrella from her hand, held it for the mother and daughter, then turned and walked out.
Zhong Chengyi also smiled apologetically: "Then Mom, you guys eat, I'm leaving..."
Zhang Chunxue said expressionlessly: "We've already finished eating!"
The corner of Zhong Chengyi's mouth twitched, and he turned around and left without saying anything more.
This incident was just a small episode for Zhang Chunxue and others, but for Zhong Chengfa and others, it triggered a war of words between the two.
Zhong Chengfa kept scolding Li Hongjuan all the way.
"It's only this time that Hongqing was smart enough to go to Mom's place! Otherwise, if he really got lost, I would have beaten you to death!"
Li Hongjuan was criticized by Zhang Chunxue and was also very angry. She was also slapped by Zhong Chengfa just now. Now her clothes were wet and her face was red and swollen.
After hearing what Zhong Chengfa said, she immediately started cursing: "Do you blame me? How could I have known that I would get separated from my child after going to the supply and marketing cooperative?"
Anyway, Zhong Hongqing is fine now, and Li Hongjuan feels confident.
"You don't know, you don't know! What do you know?" Zhong Chengfa got even angrier when she dared to talk back. "All you do all day is eat!"
"What's wrong?" Li Hongjuan refused to give in. "Isn't Hongqing okay?"
"If anything goes wrong..." Zhong Chengfa's eyes turned cold, "I will really beat you to death!"
Zhong Chengyi also spoke slowly: "Sister-in-law, you were lucky this time, but what about next time? Maybe you won't be so lucky!"
When Li Hongjuan heard Zhong Chengyi start to criticize her, she was even more furious: "Okay, okay! You two brothers are family, and I'm an outsider! You two gang up on me and bully me!"
As she spoke, she snatched the umbrella from Zhong Chengfa's hand, and left angrily holding Zhong Hongqing.
Zhong Chengyi walked up to Zhong Chengfa and patted him on the shoulder.
“Tsk!”
Although there was only one sound, it really said everything.
Zhong Chengfa's already dark face suddenly became even darker.
After the two brothers returned home, Li Hongjuan took a sweet potato back to her room and ate it. Zhong Chengfa also put on a sullen face and made something to eat with Zhong Chengyi. Zhong Chengfa didn't even want to share a room with Li Hongjuan, so he just squeezed in with Zhong Chengyi.
This made Li Hongjuan very angry.
The second brother, Zhong Chengren, was gambling enthusiastically at this time.
The heavy rain outside was crackling, but the small house was very lively.
Most gamblers rely on smoking to relieve fatigue and sleepiness, so the small room with closed doors and windows is filled with smoke, and anyone who comes in who doesn't smoke will be choked.
Zhong Chengfa's eyes were red. His luck was so good these past two days that he didn't go back to sleep during the day and kept gambling here.
All in all, he hadn't slept for almost twenty-five hours.
But... what good luck! In just twenty hours, he'd already won over two hundred. This was his luckiest day in a while!
He thought that it was raining heavily today and he couldn't go to the county, so he didn't go back. If he could win a little more tonight, he would be more confident when buying a big gold bracelet for Meng Wanshu tomorrow.
Several people in the house looked at his excitement and exchanged secret glances.
One of them threw the cards in his hand and said, "Damn it! Why are there such rubbish again... I'm not playing anymore! I need to go home and get some sleep to change my luck!"
Another one was also cursing: "This is really weird, I've been losing all day... I want to go back too!"
"No!" Zhong Chengren immediately stopped them, "I have a good fire! How can you just leave like that?"
He straightened his back, but his tone was a bit arrogant: "No one says they want to leave just because they lose! Otherwise, how can we play this game?"
Another person couldn't help but speak up: "But we've been fighting for so long...it's time to take a break!"
A few people at the table next to them were also joking: "That's right, you were here when we came this afternoon. We've been playing for a long time, and you're still here..."
"This card game is fine for fun, but you can't keep playing it like this!"
“That’s right!”
Zhong Chengren was unhappy: "We can't just leave like that! We should at least set a time and leave at that time..."
He opened the window a crack and looked at the rain outside: "Besides, it's raining heavily outside!"
The man who had spoken earlier rubbed his eyes and said, "It's fucking time... Forget it! Just fight for another hour..."
"Two hours!" Zhong Chengren said firmly, "How about we play until ten o'clock? That's just the right time for us to go back and take a nap."
The others looked at each other, their tone full of helplessness: "Alright, alright!"
"I've already agreed! It's the last two hours! Don't let me go again!"
"Hahaha! Mr. Zhong is in great shape! How could he bear to let you go?"
Everyone burst into laughter, and the whole house was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Zhong Chengren was quite pleased with himself: "Come on! Keep going!"
In the last two hours, Zhong Chengren won another twenty yuan, and he felt even more proud.
In fact, he has always been very restrained and doesn't play cards very big. It's just that his luck has been good in the past two days, and after a few rounds of playing, he is reluctant to leave the table.
