This allowed Lin Rui and the Gao family nearby to hear the situation clearly, and they all looked silently towards the place where the father and son were in the ox cart.
The young wife had her hands on her hips. Although she was very thin, she looked very tough. Now she was confronting them with a cold glare, and she was determined to make the old man give an explanation.
"You are such a shameless old man. You are so old, but you are still useless. It's like climbing into your wife's bed. I think you have lived like a dog at such an old age."
"I bought you with my steamed buns, so I can do whatever I want to you. If you don't agree, don't eat my steamed buns. It's useless to regret eating them now!"
"You old man, you're shameless, aren't you? Let's be frank. Last night, when you offered me steamed buns in exchange for my services, everyone was there. If you offered me a servant, I would have worked for you honestly. If you offered me a bride, I would have married you or your son quietly. I would have accepted it. But you, your son, kisses my face during the day, and your father crawls into my bed at night. What's going on? You and your son want to share my daughter!"
Lin Rui felt that the young wife was really brave. Now the old man's face was red, and he didn't know whether he was anxious or embarrassed.
"If you don't want to, then get out of here. I'll treat the steamed buns from yesterday and today as food to the dogs!"
"That won't do. Your son kissed me on the cheek today, so he has to take responsibility for it. Otherwise, how can a virgin like me be betrothed to him? You deadbeat, what are you just standing there looking at me for? Didn't you say you'd treat me well for the rest of my life? Why are you so quiet now?"
The son's face flushed red after being scolded by his young wife. He walked to his father hesitantly and said, "Dad, how about you find another one? Xiao Cui will be my wife."
The old father was so angry that he picked up a carrying pole and was about to hit the two men.
For a while, they were quarreling fiercely. An old man was no match for his young and strong son. With the help of Xiao Cui, the old father was accidentally pushed to the edge of the fire pit, and he screamed in pain due to the burns.
The son was so frightened that he was stunned. Xiao Cui slapped him on the back and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and pull your father out!"
The son woke up as if from a dream and pulled his father out. His father's butt was severely burned and it was burning with pain. He couldn't help cursing and was forced by his son to lie on the mat.
At this time, the girl named Xiao Cui has completely established herself in the father and son's home. She is in charge of coordinating the food on the ox cart and taking charge of the journey.
No one expected the farce to end like this. Not only did the father and son not drive the young wife away, but they also let her enter the house and take over the power of housekeeper.
Feng Zhenniang and her daughter-in-law and daughter were muttering that this young wife was no ordinary woman. She had already established herself in someone else's family in just one day, so she must not be someone easy to get along with.
However, Lin Rui admired such women who could rewrite their own destiny in such a desperate situation. If she really became a bullied young wife, being bullied by her father and son, and living an immoral life, this would drag her already miserable life into hell.
After the farce ended, Lin Rui and others also began to rest. The ones on guard tonight were Lin Zijun and Lin Zicheng. The female family members slept together, and Sanliang still slept next to Lin Rui, so that they could immediately protect their relatively useless master if there was any disturbance.
Later in the night, Lin Rui was awakened by a loud shout: "What are you doing! Don't come over here! Everyone, wake up! Zicheng, grab your weapons!"
Lin Rui had just woken up from his dream when Sanliang, who was beside him, jumped out with a wooden stick in his hand. Then his second sister cried out, "Qingqing! They took Qingqing away! Help, help!"
Some victims with ragged clothes, blue faces and red eyes came to the place where they were resting. Unlike other victims who were skinny as bones, they had flesh and blood and were very strong.
Seeing that one of them succeeded, they didn't want to fight anymore and wanted to leave immediately.
Lin Rui hurriedly shouted, "Dad, you and your brother-in-law and uncles stay behind to watch over the ox carts. All of you of the younger generation, follow me and charge!"
At this time, Cao'er, her mother and her son were also awakened by the noise. Da Niu looked at the gangster who was running towards him with the child in his arms, and struggled to get up from the ground and was about to rush out.
Cao'er grabbed her eldest son's hand and said, "Danniu, what are you going to do?"
Daniu turned around and looked at Cao'er with great energy: "Mom, I want to find a way out for you and your brother!"
Cao'er panicked: "Daniu, what are you going to do? Mother won't allow it!"
Lei Da, with a ferocious and greedy smile on his face, ran in the front while holding the frightened and crying Qingqing. Following behind him were all his accomplices who were covering him. Zheng Si was the second one.
"Don't cry, girl. Uncle will definitely eat you without wasting any of it!" Lei Da's saliva was about to drip as he savored the perfect smoothness of human flesh in his mouth.
Suddenly, a hand reached out as he was moving forward and tightly grasped one of his legs, causing him to stagger and almost fall.
Lei Da was furious: "Damn it, who is this blind man! Let me go!"
"If you let the child go, I will let you go!" Da Niu's skinny body was just bones, but he held on to Lei Da's legs tightly and refused to let go.
"Damn it!" Lei angrily spat at him. Zheng Si rushed over and said, "Lei Da, why don't you leave?"
Lei Da was furious: "It's all because of this brat, meddling in other people's business!"
Zheng Si stepped forward and kicked Da Niu. Cao'er and Ermao screamed and tried to stop him, but were kicked over by the brothers who followed behind. They lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up.
Countless fists, kicks and sticks attacked Da Niu's head and body, but Da Niu still refused to let go of Lei Da's foot.
Seeing the people behind him getting closer and closer, Zheng Si reached out to take the child from Lei Da's arms: "Lei Da, give me the child!"
Lei Da tightened his grip and sneered, "Zheng Si, don't even think about it. Do you think I don't know who you are? I gave the child to you, and you took your brothers to eat it. Why would you care about my life or death?"
Zheng Si was hit by the words, but he was not angry. He looked at Lei Da and asked, "What do you want to do? You can't let all your brothers die here with you."
Lei Da looked at the boy who was still holding him even though he was beaten half to death with disgust and said, "Find me a stick!"
Zheng Si looked around and saw his accomplice handing him a wooden stick as thick as his wrist. He weighed it in his hand, then clenched it tightly with one hand and hit the boy on the head with all his strength.
The boy's hands suddenly drooped down, and Lei Da's legs finally escaped the shackles, and he shouted, "Go!"
There was a shout from behind: "Where are you going!"
Lei Da came back to his senses in horror. A fist hit him in the face, leaving wavy patterns on his skin. With a teeth-grinding sound of bones cracking, Lei Da fell backwards with his eyes bulging. Lin Rui, who caught up with him, immediately took Qingqing out of his arms.
Seeing that something was wrong, Zheng Si had already fled with his accomplices. The only people at the scene were the dead Lei Da, the young man whose life or death was unknown, and Cao'er and her son who were beaten to the ground and unable to move.
