Feeling embarrassed about the trip, Li Si's family from Qinwang Pass went back and argued with his wife, then brought over some grain, enough to barely sustain them for a day.
The next day, while distributing porridge on the street, Qin Yu, still resentful about what happened last time, took advantage of his parents arguing at home and sneaked out with his older brother.
Arriving at the porridge stall, Qin Hu, thirteen years old, was tall and strong, like a wall.
In front of the Zhou family, Qin Yu pointed at Sisi and the others angrily and said, "Big brother, they're the ones who bullied me! Not only did they bully me, they also forced Father to make a scene for Mother!"
"Nonsense! You're the one bullying us!" Little Gem bared its teeth at him.
Xie Yan silently shielded Sisi behind him.
Madam Qin didn't know who the two men were. After Sisi said a few words, she smiled slightly and said, "So you are Madam Qin's two sons. You are both very handsome. What can I do for you?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her long arm and pulled the three children behind her. She then gave a wink to the children in the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting classes, who immediately became wary.
Qin Yu snorted, "You three kids bullied me, I want revenge, brother, you avenge me."
Qin Hu's face turned fierce, "Smash it!"
The accompanying guards immediately rushed up and overturned the stall. Qin was startled. This grain was hard-won and she couldn't let them destroy it!
"Music, chess, calligraphy, and painting! Stop them!"
The four men swiftly knocked the guards unconscious one by one. Qin Yu stared in disbelief and cursed, "A bunch of cowards!"
Taking advantage of the chaos, Qin Hu rushed over. Qin Shi tried to stop him with a spoon, but he pulled it out, broke it, grabbed Qin Shi's arm, and threw her away.
"mother!"
"Mother!"
Sisi was furious. How dare that big guy hurt her mother!
Her anger caused thunder to rumble in the sky.
He grabbed Xie Yan again, but he was torn between splitting him and not splitting him, and tears welled up in his eyes from the anxiety.
Qin Yu took the opportunity to overturn the stall. He had only knocked over one bucket of porridge when Qin Qi Shu Hua grabbed him. He shouted, "Brother, save me, brother!"
"Let him go!" Qin Hu roared, gripping Xie Yan tightly as he tried to shove him into the porridge bucket.
Sisi couldn't take it anymore.
A bolt of lightning struck Qin Hu's feet as a warning.
Qin Hu was momentarily stunned. Taking advantage of his dazed state, Shu Hua grabbed Xie Yan and kicked Qin Hu away.
Sisi's lightning bolt followed suit and struck Qin Hu directly.
"Brother!" Qin Yu panicked.
His brother will definitely die if he gets struck by lightning!
Struggling, Qin Yu lunged forward, bursting into tears and pointing at them, yelling, "You killed my brother! I'm going back to tell my mother and father! You're all finished!"
The onlookers pointed and commented on them.
"These two children from the Qin family are truly wicked. So many people starved to death in the city, and they still came to overturn the stalls. They have no regard for the lives of the people and are selfish."
"That's so satisfying. God struck him down because he did too many bad things. People like that deserve to die."
"That's right. He caught my youngest son on the street and bullied him. He's so scared that he still wets his pants every day even though he's a teenager now. I heard that Old Xu's children were all tortured to death by him."
“I’ve heard about it too. That girl abducted someone without saying goodbye. When she came back, she was covered in injuries. The next day, she bit off her tongue and committed suicide.”
"Serves him right for dying!"
Qin Yu held Qin Hu's body and cried loudly, "You're talking nonsense, my brother didn't do it, you're talking nonsense."
Someone scoffed, "You're no better. My grandfather used every last grain of rice he had to feed your father as he grew up."
"Without my grandfather, your father would have starved to death long ago. Not only do you not repay him, but you also overturned the porridge stall. Do you want us all to starve?"
"That's right. The Qin family used to be the biggest eaters, and now they're the most ungrateful. They should be driven out of Wuzhou."
Someone secretly went to inform the Qin family.
Before long, Madam Qin and Master Qin arrived.
Upon seeing Qin Hu's body, the two were incredulous, and Madam Qin rushed forward like a madwoman.
"Who did it? Who killed my son?"
Qin Yu cried out and tried to speak, but the surrounding people all gathered around him and spoke righteously.
"Your son was struck by lightning and died. No one harmed him. He deserved it!"
"That's right, we were starving to death, and he came with his men and overturned our stalls. He ate his way to fatness and fatness, but he didn't care about our lives. Even God couldn't stand it anymore, so He struck him down!"
Some even pointed at Master Qin and cursed him, saying that since they were all going to starve to death anyway, they had no more worries.
"Qin Wang, my grandfather saved his own food to raise you, and your son repays us like this, wishing we would starve to death. He is utterly ungrateful."
"That's right. Qin Hu has bullied the children of Wuzhou a lot. How many children has he killed? Why don't you do anything about it? You just watch our descendants be tortured to death."
Their instructions left Qin Wang and his wife speechless with shame. But with their son dead, Qin's wife wailed loudly, grabbing Qin Yu and asking him questions incessantly.
"What exactly happened? Tell me!"
The Qin family spoiled their two children, with Madam Qin showing more affection for her eldest son, who was, after all, their firstborn.
Qin Yu understood this principle, and he could only fearfully attribute his brother's death to divine retribution.
"He was struck by lightning and died!"
Madam Qin swayed and fell to the ground.
"What are you doing here? Who gave you permission to come and cause trouble?" Qin Wang roared.
Qin Yu wanted to make up an excuse, but Xie Yan didn't give him the chance. "Master Qin, the reason they came to cause trouble was because of the birthday banquet of the Guan family's son last time. He said that we were not the city lord's wife's biological children and told us to get out. We didn't listen, so he said that he would have his brother teach us a lesson."
"Yes, he called us wild children, told us to get out, and even tried to kick me!" Sisi stood up angrily.
Little Gem also said, "Yes, he's a jerk!"
Qin Wang slapped Qin Yu across the face, "Was it you who brought your brother here to teach them a lesson and overturned the porridge stall?"
"You unfilial son!" Madam Qin grabbed his clothes and tore at them. "That's your own brother! How could you do this to him!"
"I didn't know he'd be struck by lightning!" Qin Yu cried out. "Didn't you hear me? He harmed so many children; maybe this is retribution!"
"Shut up!" Madam Qin slapped him hard. "Everything's fine on ordinary days, so why is something happening today? It's all because of you! You killed your brother!"
With more and more people pointing fingers, Qin Wang, not wanting to lose face, ordered his men to carry Qin Hu's body back, and Qin Yu was also dragged back.
Although the person was punished, the porridge was still spilled.
Sisi felt a little sorry for the porridge mixed with mud on the ground, but soon her eyes widened in shock, "You can't eat it!"
After watching the spectacle, the people actually lay down on the ground and drank the porridge that was covered in mud and pebbles.
Madam Qin hurriedly sent people to stop them, but they couldn't stop them at all.
Someone forced a smile, "Please don't stop us. We're already lucky to have this rice porridge. The refugees outside the city are eating mud and stones, swallowing them whole, their throats are all cut and bleeding."
We're already so grateful to have this food. Thank you, you're kind people, and may Buddha protect you.
