Chapter 115 I'll Beat You to Death
Seeing that Madam Xu had regained her senses, Wu Lianzhen felt more and more that the old woman was just pretending to be a fool!
If you're going to play dumb, then you have to pay the price for it!
"Mother, Qian'er must have smelled the aroma of meat over there."
Madam Xu looked at the Xu brothers with an expression that no one could understand.
Wu Lianzhen pondered for a long time, still unable to figure out what the old woman was thinking, when she suddenly stood up on her own.
Wu Lianzhen couldn't suppress the urge to smile; she was just waiting to see what the three Xu brothers would do!
Unexpectedly, Madam Xu suddenly charged straight at Xu Yiyan like a mad bull!
"Third Uncle, be careful!"
Xu Yiyan was holding a bowl of meat soup when he turned around and saw Old Madam Xu, her hair disheveled, rushing towards him!
He was still shackled on his hands and feet, and before he could dodge, he was tackled to the ground by Old Madam Xu!
With pebbles all around him, Xu Yiyan fell straight down!
The soup bowl in his hand spilled all over him, and he threw it far away.
"Third Uncle!"
Yun Zhao was terrified. He dropped the pancake in his hand and rushed over.
Despite being on top of him, Madam Xu was not injured. She quickly got up and ran out to retrieve the soup bowl.
The others paid no attention to the crazy old woman and were all concerned about Xu Yiyan, who had fallen.
"Are you alright? Did you hurt your head?"
Xu Yiyan was dazed and confused after the fall. He shook his head and sat up, supporting himself on his body.
"My head... I think I bumped it..."
"Let me take a look!"
A head injury can be serious or minor, so Yun Zhao quickly grabbed Xu Yiyan's hand and checked his head.
Fortunately, the stone wasn't sharp, but it still gave me a small bump on the back of my head.
"How about it?"
Everyone craned their necks in worry.
“There’s a bump, Third Uncle. Look at my hand, how many fingers are there?”
Yun Zhao held up two fingers and waved them in front of him.
Two.
Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere right now?
"My head and butt hurt a little."
Xu Yiyan rubbed his lower back and gasped in pain.
"Try getting up and walking around."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yifei quickly helped his younger brother up.
Seeing that Xu Yiyan was walking without any problems, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, what are you doing?!"
Everyone turned to look and saw that Old Madam Xu had picked up Xu Yiyan's bowl.
While everyone was concerned about Xu Yiyan, she scooped out a bowl of meat soup from the pot.
He grabbed a flatbread that was baking nearby, turned around, and ran back.
"Hehe, my dear grandson, have some soup!"
"You old hag, you knocked down my brother and then stole his food! I'll beat you to death!"
Xu Yinan walked over angrily, and Old Madam Xu spat twice on the meat soup and pancakes!
Everyone: ...
"Eek—"
This is absolutely disgusting!
"Hehe, my dear grandson, eat up!"
Madam Xu soaked the pancake in the meat broth for a while and then held it to Xu Zhiqian's mouth.
Wu Lianzhen's face was all scrunched up, but her son, who hadn't smelled meat for a long time, opened his mouth and started chewing noisily.
Wu Lianzhen: ...
Well, at least we got to eat meat.
Xu Qingshi's right hand was broken by Xu Yifei, and it has not fully recovered yet.
Looking at the pancake that her mother had spat on, she gritted her teeth and stretched out her left hand.
"Mother, where's mine?"
Old Madam Xu handed over the pancake that Xu Zhiqian had bitten, which was covered in her saliva and meat broth.
And the dough chunks that Xu Zhiqian had chewed to a pulp, still hanging there uneaten.
Xu Qingshi's face immediately turned red.
"Mother! Why did you give me what that brat chewed up?"
There were only three flatbreads baking next to the fire, and Wu Lianzhen took one.
There was only one left, the one that Xu Zhiqian had bitten, and the one that Old Madam Xu was holding.
"If you don't want it, then let your nephew finish it."
Madam Xu made a move to take it back, but Xu Qingshi quickly snatched it from her hand.
"I want it, I want it!"
After all, a pancake soaked in meat broth is better than a hard, dry cornbread.
Xu Qingshi couldn't exert any force with her right hand, so she could only hold it with her left.
She took small bites, avoiding the parts that Xu Zhiqian had chewed.
She suddenly remembered something and looked up at Old Madam Xu in surprise.
Wasn't her mother scared out of her wits?
Like her, the others also realized what was happening.
Is this old woman pretending to be crazy?
Yun Zhao and the others definitely wouldn't take back anything she spat on.
But letting it go like that isn't in Yun Zhao's nature.
She glanced at Luo Qing, who was roasting jerky, and deliberately raised her voice.
"Madam, is your dementia cured?"
Luo Qing paused in his movements and turned to look at him.
Old Madam Xu paused in feeding her grandson, glaring fiercely at Yun Zhao.
The crisscrossing scars on her face, combined with her fierce eyes, were truly frightening.
Yun Zhao burst into tears and buried her face in Xu Yifei's arms.
"Waaaaah, Uncle, help me! The old lady is going to kill Zhao Zhao! She's glaring at me so fiercely!"
Luo Qing stuffed the dried meat into his younger brother's hand, picked up the whip beside him, and walked over.
"What's going on? What's all this commotion about?"
He had heard the noise earlier, but he didn't intend to pay any attention to them.
Now it seems like this has caused some problems!
"Uncle Luo, look! The old lady's dementia has been cured without any medicine!"
"Waaaaah, she was glaring at me like she wanted to devour me whole! It was so scary!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Your maternal grandmother was like that, sometimes she was crazy."
She's normal sometimes, as you just saw. It's only when your grandmother suddenly goes crazy that she hurts people.
"You even apprenticed under Medicine King Valley, and you can't even diagnose illnesses?"
Wu Lianzhen quickly chewed the pancake, put her hands on her hips, and started cursing Yun Zhao.
She's figured it out now; the old woman was just pretending to be crazy.
Luo Qing figured she was stupid and wouldn't run far, so he didn't put her in shackles.
Now that they've tasted the benefits, pretending to be crazy and letting her grab some food might not be such a bad thing.
Luo Qing immediately realized that he had been tricked by this old geezer!
"Fine, one minute you're crazy, the next you're normal, huh! Someone, bring me these handcuffs and leg irons!"
Old Madam Xu subconsciously retorted, "Don't women only wear shackles?"
"Aren't you sometimes normal and sometimes crazy and hurt people? Since you can hurt people, then handcuff them all to avoid accidental injury!"
Luo Qing looked at her with a half-smile, then his face darkened, and he shouted, "Everyone, put on your shackles and move out!"
The others hurriedly drank from their wooden bowls, while Zhichun and Zhixia helped put the bowls away.
Zhi Qiu and Zhi Dong secretly slipped the hot water bottles, now fitted with freshly replaced charcoal, into the hands of Xu Qingyi and the others.
When they set off again, the wooden cart that had originally been used to push Madam Xu and Xu Zhiqian was taken back.
Wu Lianzhen had no choice but to carry Xu Zhiqian on the road again.
Watching Madam Xu being dragged along by handcuffs, getting more and more tired, there was no way to even lend a hand.
Wu Lianzhen couldn't help but complain, "Mother, why did you pretend to be crazy and make me push for so long!"
"What? My son is dead, and you won't even push his old mother?"
How could my Xu family have married such an ingrate! The whole family are ingrates!
Madam Xu was already harsh, and now that her son was dead, she became even more rude.
Xu Qingshi was furious and vented all her anger on Wu Lianzhen.
