Chapter 8 It's Your Own Fault
There were still a few bandits left, and when they saw their leader was dead, they were quickly subdued by the villagers.
Zhao Chunhua then breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to check on the children, especially pulling Zhang Daniu up and checking him carefully several times.
"Daniu, are you okay?"
At this moment, she was surprised to find that her accumulated virtue points had doubled.
There weren't so many benefits from saving the villagers before.
It turns out that a big bull is better than ten villagers. Could it be that this black boy has some special background?
If you think this way, it will make more sense to use him in the future.
"Mom... I was so scared just now... Woohoo... I thought I would never see you again..."
Zhang Daniu threw himself into her arms and cried with great grievance.
Daniu, who usually behaves maturely and steadily, rarely shows such panic. Zhao Chunhua feels so distressed that she keeps comforting him. She thinks it is really wrong to plot against the child for the sake of merit points.
She hugged Zhang Daniu and said gently, "Don't worry, with mother here, no one dares to bully you! What I said just now was all false!"
Zhang Daniu's eyes flashed with intelligence, he pretended to wipe away his tears, and nodded obediently: "I understand, mother, don't blame my second brother, he pushed me down unintentionally and let me fall into that guy's hands."
He looked innocent and thoughtful.
Zhao Chunhua's face suddenly turned gloomy and she stared at her second son coldly.
Zhang Tianfu saw something was wrong and ran away.
After running a few steps, Zhang Erxi started to shout that he could not walk anymore.
He sat down on the ground, stared at the car Zhang Defu was sitting in, and started shouting loudly.
"I can't walk anymore! I want to take a ride, too! Why can dad take a ride, but I can't?"
"Your father is injured. Mother can't pull you two up by herself. Wait for your father to rest for a while, and then you can come up, okay?"
Bai Xiaowei coaxed him helplessly.
But Zhang Erxi didn't listen at all. He turned his head away angrily and continued shouting with a pout.
"I don't care! I want to take a ride now!"
Bai Xiaowei's face suddenly turned ugly.
It took a lot of effort to hold down Zhang Defu, and now adding Zhang Erxi, wouldn't that be the end of her life?
"Just bear with it a little longer. Mother can't pull you two along..." Zhang Erxi didn't care about all this and insisted on taking the ride.
Zhang Defu was sitting in the car, feeling a headache from the noise made by Zhang Erxi, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Shut up! Can't you see that my wound is bleeding?"
Zhang Erxi rolled up his sleeves unconvinced, revealing a small wound, and said with wide eyes, "I'm injured too! I want to take a ride, too."
Zhang Defu became even angrier and raised his hand to hit him.
Zhang Erxi was not afraid at all. He raised his head and glared back.
"Why can you take the bus just because you're injured? I'm also injured, so why won't you let me take the bus?"
Zhang Defu was so angry that he was shaking all over, with his fist raised high, wishing he could beat him to death.
Bai Xiaowei rushed over and tried her best to protect Zhang Erxi.
"Don't hit the child!"
At this moment, the second room's car happened to pass by.
Zhang Erxi sniffed suddenly and smelled a hint of meat.
Looking closely, I saw Xie Lanqin holding a piece of dried meat in her hand.
Zhang Erxi's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I want jerky, I want to eat jerky!"
As he shouted, he rushed towards the wheelbarrow like a madman.
Using both hands and feet, he climbed onto the car immediately.
"Give me some jerky!"
Xie Lanqin was so scared that she quickly hid the dried meat in her sleeves.
Zhao Chunhua's face turned dark. She grabbed Zhang Erxi by the collar and pulled him down like a chicken.
"Okay! Stealing again!"
Bai Xiaowei was furious when she saw this scene and rushed over, "You even threw my Erxi down. If anything happens, I will never forgive you!"
After hearing what his mother said, Zhang Erxi's eyes rolled around, and he immediately rolled over, holding his stomach and crying out in pain.
"Ouch, it hurts so much, I fell to death!"
Bai Xiaowei was terrified, but she finally breathed a sigh of relief after she saw clearly that her son was acting.
She squatted down quickly.
"Son, what's wrong with you?"
Then she looked at Zhao Chunhua angrily and scolded her loudly.
"My Erxi was just extremely hungry and wanted to eat some of your dried meat. It would have been fine if you didn't give it to him, but how could you hit him? Look at what you did to my Erxi?"
As she spoke, she also sat down on the ground, slapping her hands and crying out at the top of her lungs: "Poor child, my Erxi!"
The shrill noise immediately attracted the nearby villagers.
Zhao Chunhua gnashed her teeth in anger and said angrily, "You want to blackmail me? You started by trying to steal things, and you think you're right?"
"What do you mean by snatching? We are all family! Can't the child eat a bite?"
Bai Xiaowei raised her head and retorted loudly.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Bai Xiaowei was no longer afraid of Zhao Chunhua and kept crying and making a fuss.
"You just saw that our man was injured and deliberately picked a fight to bully us! Didn't you say it was going to rain soon and asked everyone to stop? How did we run into those bandits tonight?"
Bai Xiaowei became more and more excited as she spoke, and now she directly blamed all the mistakes on Zhao Chunhua.
"It's all because of your stupid advice that my boss got hurt."
Without waiting for Zhao Chunhua to speak, he pointed at the cart in the second room and shouted.
"You are responsible for taking us away!"
Seeing the two bags of whole grain noodles in the car, her eyes lit up and she added, "You should also take care of our food and drink!"
Zhao Chunhua almost laughed out loud after hearing this.
"How thick-skinned does one have to be to say something like that?"
Zhang Defu was furious when he heard this. He slapped the side of the car and cursed, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't attracted those bandits, how could I have been injured?"
"Yes, it's all your fault. From childhood to adulthood, you first killed your own parents, and later even killed my second child. Now you want to bring bad luck to us?"
Bai Xiaowei immediately followed suit.
Zhao Chunhua put her hands on her hips and spat in disdain.
"Nonsense! If you hadn't insisted on staying overnight at the cave entrance and hadn't been lazy and didn't follow the rules to keep watch, how could you have been easily caught by the neck by the bandits? This is entirely your own fault!"
She clenched her fist and waved it vigorously in the air.
"Don't try to blame me for what you have done, or I won't let you off easily!"
Bai Xiaowei and Zhang Defu were choked so much that their faces turned red and white.
Seeing that the first wife was defeated, the third wife, who had been silent on the side, finally stood up and spoke.
"Second sister-in-law, you can't be so harsh, right? You are actually partly responsible for this matter. If it weren't for you suggesting to stop, I guess no one would have encountered such a thing."
Zhu Fangfang curled her lips and said, "You said it was going to rain? Where is the rain? I haven't seen a drop so far."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions on the faces of the villagers who were watching the fun nearby also changed.
After all, it didn’t rain.
But they encountered bandits because of this.
Although the bandits were driven away in the end, everyone was injured.
