Chapter 51 Do you want to get revenge? (Seeking monthly votes)
For the next two days, Cai Qinqin did not appear at the family compound.
Wang Xiaohu was left at home eating cold cornbread, and only when Wang Shun returned home could he cook him a hot meal.
No one else in the family compound who had been bullied or extorted by Cai Qinqin and her son before was willing to lend a helping hand.
After all, in this day and age, it's already difficult enough to feed one's own family; who can afford to raise a child from outside the family for an extended period of time?
Several times, Wang Xiaohu's mouth watered at the smell of food outside.
Another day of hunger struck Wang Xiaohu, who ran into Lu Ting on his way to school. He called out to Lu Ting.
"Hey, you orphan, stop right there!"
Lu Ting paused, feeling very angry at the word "orphan" applied to him.
"Your own mother is gone too, how dare you laugh at me?" Lu Ting glared at Wang Xiaohu.
Wang Xiaohu snorted, "But I still have my own father. Where is yours?"
Lu Ting pursed his lips and did not answer, but his eyes were fixed on Wang Xiaohu.
"Was it you who told Uncle Shen not to let me stay there? You're such a mean person. Why can you eat and drink well at Uncle Shen's house, but I can't eat and drink well too?" Wang Xiaohu was still thinking about this.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Because Cai Qinqin was not around, Wang Shuncai disliked him more and more. Whenever he made a slight mistake, he would be scolded by Wang Shuncai.
Wang Xiaohu's days these past two days have been like hell. He doesn't dare to provoke Wang Shuncai, but he dares to ambush Lu Ting on his way to school.
Song Wei and Zhou Tianyu were also called upon to join in stopping Lu Ting.
Lu Ting didn't want to pay attention to them and turned to leave, but Song Wei blocked his way.
"You're really disgusting. Why won't you let Wang Xiaohu eat at Uncle Shen's house?" Song Wei heard Wang Xiaohu say that if he could eat at Shen Jiang's house, he would definitely bring him a good meal.
Because of Lu Ting, he didn't get to taste the rabbit meat and blackfish.
Song Wei also began to dislike Lu Ting.
“Uncle Shen himself didn’t want Wang Xiaohu, and nobody in the entire family compound liked Wang Xiaohu,” Lu Ting said seriously.
His words were not unfounded; having lived in the family compound for a long time, he would occasionally hear these conversations among the neighbors.
They gathered together and especially liked to talk about Tsai Chin-Chin, and Wang Xiao-Hu was also brought up in the conversation.
Lu Ting had known for a long time that Wang Xiaohu was not Cai Qinqin's biological son, but he had never brought it up with Wang Xiaohu.
Because he understands the feeling of losing a loved one.
However, not long ago, Xu Qingmo spoke to him, encouraging him to become stronger and more resilient.
If someone bullies you, you should bully them back in the same way. Only in this way can you protect the people you want to protect.
Lu Ting thought it made a lot of sense, so when Wang Xiaohu mocked him as an orphan today, he used that as a form of retaliation.
Instead, he got a beating.
Three against one, Lu Ting suffered a loss. His clothes and face were covered in dust, and he was tied to a tree with ropes by Wang Xiaohu and the others.
The three of them ran off to school, deliberately leaving Lu Ting behind.
They deliberately jumped to a remote place, thinking that no one would come over for a while.
Lu Ting struggled to break free, but he couldn't.
He kept calling for help outside, even though he knew it wouldn't do much good.
At this time of day, many people are busy with their own affairs, and children are all at school. This area is usually deserted, and now there will be even fewer people coming.
Lu Ting got tired after shouting for a while and had no choice but to rest.
Suddenly, a small figure appeared not far from him.
Xu Qingmo walked towards Lu Ting carrying a Chinese textbook. Wang Jing noticed that Lu Ting had forgotten his Chinese textbook and wanted to bring it to him herself, but Xu Qingmo said she was bored at home and would go instead.
Wang Jing was worried and wanted to bring Xu Qingmo along, but she refused.
He then recounted his hunting experience in Xujia Village, how he managed to emerge from the woods next to the family compound, and how he brought back wild rabbits and black carp.
Wang Jing had no choice but to let her go alone, and pointed out the way to the school.
Xu Qingmo remembered clearly, so she carried the book and went to find the person. After walking for a while, she suddenly heard someone calling for help. Although the voice was not loud, she heard it very clearly.
Following the sound, they found Lu Ting tied to a small tree.
As Lu Ting watched Xu Qingmo's small figure walk towards him, he felt a momentary stirring in his heart, as if she were a fairy descended from heaven.
"How did you end up tied up here? Did Wang Xiaohu do it on purpose?" Xu Qingmo asked, though she had already guessed it.
She deliberately talked to Lu Ting to distract him.
"It was him, along with Song Wei and Zhou Tianyu. They teamed up to tie me up here," Lu Ting sighed.
Xu Qingmo had already gone behind him and untied the rope.
"Do you want revenge?" Xu Qingmo asked.
Lu Ting had never wanted to cause trouble for Shen Jiang, and he silently endured all the troubles that came his way.
“I’d rather not report it. I’m fine right now.” Seeing the disappointed look in Xu Qingmo’s eyes, Lu Ting immediately explained, “I don’t want Uncle Shen and Aunt Wang to worry about me.”
"Coward." Xu Qingmo threw the Chinese textbook and rope at Lu Ting.
Lu Ting chased after him, clutching the book, "I...I want revenge."
He couldn't bear to see Xu Qingmo disappointed in him; deep down, he wanted to get revenge.
Unfortunately, two hands are no match for four fists, and there was nothing he could do.
Xu Qingmo countered, "When do you want to get revenge? Now? Or after school?"
“They’re at school now. If they get into a fight at school, the teachers will call their parents. Aunt Wang and Uncle Shen are both very busy, and I don’t want to bother them.”
"Then wait until school is over, and you can take her to that grove of trees." Xu Qingmo had already come up with a good idea.
Lu Ting hesitated for a moment, "The adults all said that the woods are dangerous. If the three of them get bitten by wild animals, you'll be in trouble."
Lu Ting wasn't worried about getting into trouble himself; he was worried about Xu Qingmo being implicated.
Xu Qingmo smiled and said, "I have my own way. You just need to take them there."
After thinking it over, Lu Ting decided that if anything really happened, he would take all the blame upon himself.
After saying goodbye to Xu Qingmo, Lu Ting went to school for class. Because he arrived late, the first class had already ended.
Wang Xiaohu, Song Wei, Zhou Tianyu, and Lu Ting were all in the same class. When Wang Xiaohu saw Lu Ting coming over, he couldn't help but secretly smile.
Lu Ting deliberately ignored these concerns and took out his book to wait for the second class to begin.
Finally, school was over in the afternoon. Lu Ting was walking ahead when Wang Xiaohu picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Lu Ting's backside.
Lu Ting clutched his buttocks in pain, while Wang Xiaohu and the others burst into laughter.
"Lu Ting just farted, and he covered his butt because he was afraid someone would hear it." Wang Xiaohu deliberately said something irritating, which made the surrounding students laugh at Lu Ting.
Lu Ting blushed and continued walking forward in silence, but was stopped by Wang Xiaohu and the others after only a few steps.
