Chapter 272 Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

Today Jiang Wan taught the villagers to make coconut oil, which was supposed to be a happy event. The old village chief returned home happily and was about to let his family try to make it once when he heard about the second child being abused.

It's really a bad apple that spoils the whole barrel.

It was a good village, but it was brought down by these guys and its reputation was tarnished.

Upon learning that Yin Huaishan was being bullied, the old village chief almost ran over and started cursing before he even entered the house.

Except for the clan leader and a few brothers in his family, there was no one in the village that he dared not scold.

This guy, Lian Erdi, my brother and I have clearly warned him, but he still dared to secretly abuse the child. This time he must be punished.

The old village chief was filled with rage. When he entered the yard and saw the miserable state of the two children, he was so angry that his teeth were about to break.

"Lian Erdi, it seems that you didn't listen to a word I said to the clan leader."

Lian Erdi, who was so arrogant just now, now had cold sweat on his forehead.

"Village Chief... I, I was drunk. I didn't mean to do that."

He wanted to blame the beating of his child on being drunk, but we are not fools.

"What kind of alcohol can make one drunk for two days? We haven't seen the two children go out in the past two days."

"That's right. You were drunk and beat the kids, so you should have sobered up a day later. If you were drunk last night, where did the two brothers go in the past two days? They must have gone out to get some water, right?"

"And look at your brothers' wrists. They must have been hanging there for quite some time."

It was obvious that the two brothers had been hung up and beaten very early on.

Lian Erdi wanted to make excuses, but he didn't know how to start when the evidence was solid.

It was he who hung up his son. He had indeed hung him up very early.

As soon as the school was on vacation, he couldn't help but take action.

Who made these two brats so annoying? They always memorize everything they do and show off in front of him.

It really makes people feel unhappy.

The brothers all said that sons take after their mothers. Their mother was restless, and so were they.

It's just that they are young and obedient now. When they grow up and can earn money on their own, they will definitely abandon their father.

Just like their mother.

Therefore, you must subdue them from a young age, so that they will fear you from the bottom of their hearts. Even when they grow up, they will not rebel against you.

Lian Erdi felt that it made sense.

So every time he would beat up the two brothers after drinking.

But he was always very measured and didn't kill him. He had drunk too much a few days ago and happened to hear his youngest son saying that after they learned more words, they could go to the city to find a job as a bookkeeper.

When he heard that the two brothers wanted to go into the city, the dark emotions he had been hiding instantly erupted.

Then they hung the two brothers.

At this time, the two brothers were still young, so it was easy for them to clean up. After the fight, I have to say that I felt much happier.

As a result, I felt happy and fell asleep quickly until the next night. When I woke up, both kids looked unwell.

Lian Erdi actually already regretted it, and just when he was about to let the man go, he heard his youngest son scolding him again.

Of course he would not let them go this time, and he beat the two brothers again. When they woke up in a daze, it was the same time they were woken up this morning.

At this moment, under the old village chief's dirty look, he dared not say a word.

"The tribe leader and I warned you last time. If you don't treat these two children well, the tribe will intervene. From now on, you will just pretend that you don't have these two sons."

"That won't work!"

Lian Erdi knew that it would be difficult for him to find a wife in the future, and there was no sign of having a son. Of course, he couldn't let the ready-made one go.

"No matter what, this is my biological son, and they have to take care of me in my old age."

The old village chief looked around, picked up a broom and hit Lian Erdi.

"Now you know they are your own children? Why didn't you think of this when you beat them?"

Lian Erdi ran while covering his head, but he still refused to let go.

"Even if you kill me, these two children are still my sons. The tribe can't just rob people like this!"

The old village chief was scolded.

Yes, the tribe can punish him, but it is impossible to make the two children disown him.

Nowadays, filial piety is important. No matter how bad your parents are, they are still your parents and you should respect them.

Otherwise, why is it said that the word "filial piety" can be so depressing?

The old village chief stopped to think for a moment, and soon came up with a solution.

"Now that I know about this, there is no reason for me to ignore it. The two children were beaten so badly by you, it is impossible for them to follow you. I will let the clan leader take charge and adopt them to a family with no descendants in the clan. How much compensation do you want? We will sign a contract and I will give it to you when the children grow up."

Lian Erdi's heart was pounding and he shook his head vigorously.

"Village chief, these are my two sons. It's not appropriate for you to take them away like this, right? If I don't adopt them, all the money they make when they grow up will be mine. Why should I adopt them?"

"hehe……"

The old village chief sneered twice.

"You really think you are a piece of cake. Now you are just thinking about the money they will make in the future. Do you think they will listen to you in everything when they grow up? Haven't you heard about the end of the old man Qian in the next village?"

As soon as the name of Old Man Qian was mentioned, almost everyone present except Yin Huaishan showed a look of contempt on their faces.

Old Man Qian was from the next village. When he was young, he beat his wife and children. One of his wives was beaten so hard that she jumped into a well, and another one was beaten so hard that she had a miscarriage and went crazy and disappeared.

He didn't take care of the three remaining sons at home, and they spent their days hanging out outside. Half of the children depended on the help of the villagers, and the other half depended on the eldest son's hard work, who had a stable income on the boat because of his excellent sailing ability.

Thanks to the frequent sea raids, the brothers were able to survive.

The children grew up gradually, and each of them was very capable. The three brothers worked together to build a large yard, and the eldest and second oldest got married.

Seeing his life getting better, Old Man Qian went home again.

Out of filial piety, the three brothers had no choice but to let him in. But they were not foolishly filial.

The hatred in my heart did not fade away with time.

After returning home, Mr. Qian was either bitten by a poisonous snake or fell down accidentally. In short, he was very unlucky.

Everyone knew that the three brothers were punishing him, but no one had any evidence, so they just pretended not to know.

The good life that old man Qian thought of did not come. Every day he ate even less than a beggar.

The three brothers ate with him, and no one could say they were unfilial. As for whether they secretly ate the delicious food in the house, who knew?

Anyway, old man Qian soon couldn't stand the torture anymore. He accidentally fell down the mountain and became paralyzed in bed. He spent several months in bed and died.

This news spread quickly in the village, and almost every household knew about it.

Lian Erdi is very powerful now, but who knows if he will be the same as Old Man Qian in the future.

Hearing what the village chief said, Lian Erdi suddenly recalled the look his youngest son had given him.

That is naked hatred.

He was very excited at that time, thinking that no matter how much he hated him, he had to call him daddy and he could easily deal with him.

Now my heart suddenly felt cold.

My two sons seem to have been badly offended. When they grow up and can no longer fight...

Will they discipline themselves like old man Qian's son did?
