Chapter 38 A Moment of Slap in the Face: The Brother's Powerful Protection of His Sister
"... ...What?"
Just as Yuan Hui opened his mouth, he suddenly felt a stream of cold water fall onto his eyes.
He was a little nervous, not understanding what Zhizhi was doing.
Sang Zhizhi said with a laugh, "Don't move, brother, this is the magic potion."
She read the instructions for the spiritual spring in the space. The spiritual spring could cure all diseases and ward off evil spirits. Applying it externally or taking it internally could enhance its effects.
After rinsing the handsome older brother's eyes, I told him to drink the rest every day on time.
I believe we should see results in a few days.
Zhizhi was carefully washing the handsome boy's eyes when she suddenly saw the door open and a woman's sharp voice rang out.
"What are you doing to my son?"
Wen Qingqian rushed forward and knocked the spirit spring from Zhizhi's hand. She glared at the girl and raised her voice, "Get out of the way!"
Sang Zhizhi was pushed backward and nearly fell.
Yuan Hui reached out to stop him, but he couldn't see anything and his hand just waved in the air a few times.
He said anxiously, "Mom, this is my friend, don't hurt her!"
"But I clearly saw her hurting you just now!" Wen Qingqian's beautiful face was filled with heartache. "Yuan Hui, you haven't had friends for too long, and you can't even distinguish between kindness and bullying! Mom clearly saw her splash water on your crippled eyes!"
"Auntie, just because you don't have any friends doesn't mean you think everyone in the world is bad!"
Hearing the pretty auntie refer to her as blind and disabled, Sang Zhizhi felt even more dissatisfied.
Her cheeks puffed out in anger, resembling a round, spiky pufferfish.
"When you two were arguing, my brother was crying. I just wanted to clean him up; that medicine can treat his eye condition!"
Wen Qingqian had no friends in the cultural troupe, and she kept to herself in the military dependents' home. Her neighbors wouldn't even say a word to her.
The little cub's words really hit her where it hurt.
Her tone became even harsher, "Don't try to fool me. We've been to hospitals big and small, and the doctors all say he's beyond saving, that's how his life will be. You think you can save him with some tap water? You're not welcome in our house, get out!"
Zhenwei was always intimidated by Aunt Wen, even though she was one of the most beautiful women in the military dependents' compound.
But she was very arrogant and never gave people a second glance.
The children all called her "Peacock" behind her back.
But now that he saw her bullying his sister, Zhenwei mustered up his courage and stood up. "Aunt Wen, we thought Yuanhui loved to eat fruit, so we brought him some figs. We didn't bully him. You've misunderstood."
Although Xiao Zhenwei is usually a foodie, he's still brave enough to step up when something really happens.
He took a deep breath and said seriously, "You should apologize to my sister for your misinterpretation."
Wen Qingqian never expected that even a little kid like him would dare to lecture her. She let out a cold snort.
"If she can cure my son's eyes, I'll kneel down and kowtow to her. But don't even think about using any folk remedies to mock my son; we don't need them!"
As she spoke, she forcefully pulled her son up and tried to take him back into the house.
This time, however, Yuan Hui did not choose to comply; instead, she stubbornly broke free from Wen Qingqian's hand.
"Mom, you've misunderstood Zhizhi. You did something wrong, shouldn't you apologize?"
"Yuan Hui! You treat me like this too?"
Wen Qingqian never imagined that her usually sensible son would become so rebellious.
Her pride and elegance were completely crushed in front of these three children.
This was utterly unbearable for her. The burning anger in her chest erupted completely. Wen Qingqian pointed at Sang Zhizhi and demanded, "Was it you? You instigated him to do it, didn't you? I shouldn't have let him play with you uncultured brats. Look what you've done to my son!"
Sang Zhizhi's expression was complicated. She finally understood why her handsome brother had developed such an insecure and sensitive personality.
With his father's neglect and his mother's hysteria, living in such endless noise, Yuan Hui must have had a very difficult time.
She didn't want to talk to Aunt Wen anymore.
The little cub handed the remaining box of figs to Yuan Hui, saying, "Pretty brother, now that I've delivered the figs to you, Zhizhi will go back. Your eyes are very beautiful; please don't cry anymore."
Yuan Hui took the box of fruit, her face full of apology. "I'm sorry, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wen Qingqian, unable to bear it any longer, snatched the box of fruit and threw it away.
"Who wants your fruit? Yuan Hui is never playing with you again, and neither of you are allowed to come near us!"
"mom!"
Yuan Hui's emotions, which she had been holding back for so long, finally broke down this time.
He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyes and involuntarily covered them.
When Zhizhi saw him like this, she forgot about being angry with Aunt Wen and quickly went over to help him.
"Handsome brother, how are you?"
"I told you not to touch him!" Wen Qingqian grabbed her. "Can't you understand human language? Do I have to physically chase you away before you're satisfied!"
Sang Zhizhi stared stubbornly at her with her large, clear eyes, "Can't you see that your brother is in pain?"
As a mother, I didn't show concern for my child immediately when he was in pain.
Instead, they're making things difficult for people here.
She is not a good mother.
"I'll go see my son later, but you have to get out of here now!"
Wen Qingqian could no longer tolerate it and raised her hand to teach this little girl a lesson.
But the moment she landed, Yuan Hui seemed to suddenly see it and hurriedly stood in front of Zhi Zhi.
His calm, unwavering eyes stared directly at his mother. "Don't lay a hand on my friends, or you'll no longer be my mother..."
Wen Qingqian was stunned by her son's gaze and remained frozen for a full three seconds.
She had never seen her son's eyes before, but at this moment she realized...
Yuan Hui, he... he seems to be able to see?!
"Your eyes, your eyes!!!" Overwhelmed with joy, she almost lost her senses. She raised her voice and looked into the house, "Old Yuan, come out quickly!"
The former political commissar, who was sobering up in the room, was immediately startled awake by this stern shout.
He rushed out the door without even having time to put on his clothes.
As soon as I came out, I saw a chaotic scene in front of me.
What happened?
"Dad, Mom is going to hit Zhizhi."
This time, Yuan Hui slowly turned her head to look at her father, her expression different from the coldness she showed when facing her mother.
When he looked at his father, his clear eyes were full of determination.
The former political commissar's eyes widened instantly, staring at his son in disbelief.
He stepped forward and waved in front of his son.
When he discovered that Yuan Hui's eyes could actually see, he felt a sharp stinging sensation in the tip of his nose.
He muttered to himself, "How can you see? You really can see..."
"It's not very clear; you can only see blurry light and shadow."
Yuan Hui was equally excited; he had never truly experienced the world with his own eyes.
He never expected that meeting Zhizhi would give him the opportunity to have his eye disease cured.
Thinking of the grievances Zhizhi had just suffered, Yuan Hui's face darkened. "Dad, Zhizhi just rinsed my eyes with medicine and I was feeling better, but Mom spilled the medicine and smashed the fruit Zhizhi brought. If I hadn't stopped her, she would have already hit Zhizhi."
"What?"
The former political commissar was furious. "Wen Qingqian, look at what you've done! Zhizhi is our son's savior, how could you be so vicious?"
"I didn't mean to hit her, I just wanted to drag her out!"
Wen Qingqian's rebuttal grew softer and softer. Only then did she realize that she had really misunderstood that little girl.
She really wasn't bullying Yuan Hui just now.
The medicine she gave me really worked...
Looking at the medicine spilled all over the ground, Wen Qingqian felt extremely remorseful.
But Yuan Hui didn't give her a chance to argue. Instead, he took his sister's hand and said, "You said you'd kneel down for her if Zhizhi could cure my eyes. Now, please kneel down and apologize to her..."
