Chapter 86 Brothers Join Forces
Li Guangzheng, who was spreading rumors, suddenly stood up and looked at the two Jiang brothers guiltily.
"What, it's none of your business if we gossip?" Li Guangzheng arrogantly pointed at Lao Si, "Look at your dark skin, doesn't it look a lot like mine?"
"Damn you, you look like a toad that fell into a pig dung pit, how come... hey, Sanwa?"
The fourth brother was furious and put his hands on his hips, ready to curse. Just then, he saw the third brother pick up an old man's cane that was leaning against the wall and strike Li Guangzheng directly at him.
"You little brat, you're not even fully grown yet and you want to hit me? You think I won't... Ouch!"
He took two steps back, and Sanwa, without saying a word, smacked him straight on the forehead with a stick.
Li Guangzheng was probably stunned by the knocking and suddenly stood still without saying a word.
"Bang, bang!"
Sanwa remained silent, gripping his crutch tightly with both hands and striking his leg heavily.
"You son of a bitch... how dare you! You junior dare to hit an elder! Believe me or not, I'll go to the school tomorrow and tell the teacher you won't be able to study anymore... ah!"
Sanwa chuckled in a low voice, "Then go ahead, I'll teach you a lesson for spreading rumors today, or I'll really take your surname. Don't even mention telling others that Lao Si is your son, my ancestors for eighteen generations are all from your Li family!"
The fourth brother clenched his fist, his blood boiling with excitement.
He had never seen Sanwa fight before. Judging from his posture, if he were holding a knife, Li Guang would be torn to pieces by now.
"Sanwa, don't hit him too hard. If you hurt him, we'll have to call a doctor."
The fourth brother was happy to watch the fun from the sidelines. He laughed at the men, women, and children who were standing under the big apricot tree and were frightened, saying, "My mother has very good taste. My father is not bad-looking, just a little dark-skinned. My eldest brother and I look just like him, so my mother favors us."
"That grandson Li Guangzheng said I look like him?" The fourth brother raised his hand and broke off half a branch from the apricot tree, walking steadily toward Li Guangzheng, who was being beaten up by the third brother.
“We brothers will prove to you today that we are no longer three-year-old children. If you continue to spread rumors and slander my mother, we will beat him until he never dares to show his face in front of me again!”
With that, the fourth brother chased after him.
"You two little beasts, if you keep hitting me like this, my uncles and elders won't let you get away with it!" Li Guang was being chased and beaten by Sanwa. Realizing he couldn't escape, he ran home, cursing as he ran.
Sanwa quickened his pace, jumped onto the earthen steps, and struck him hard on the back with a stick.
"Ouch... Sanwa, you coward, if you hit me again, I'll dig up your family's ancestral graves tomorrow, believe it or not?"
Sanwa sneered, "Fine, I'd like to see if it's easier to dig up your family's ancestral graves or mine."
"Hey!"
The fourth brother, who had been herding sheep recently, was agile and nimble. He rushed up, grabbed Li Guangzheng by the hair, and hit him on the shoulder with a stick.
"You worthless scoundrel, you think you can be my father?"
"So all you did was come to my house to freeload, got kicked out by my mom, and had a bucket of water poured on you by my older brother? Well, come back and pay me back! All you've got is bad talk. I'm going to tear your mouth apart!"
As he spoke, the fourth brother grabbed Li Guangzheng's lips with his fingers and punched him twice.
By now, they had already run to Li Guangzheng's doorstep.
Li Guangzheng has a son and a daughter. He usually treats his wife badly, and now they are standing at the door watching without any intention of coming up to help.
"You filthy woman, come and help!"
Li Guang was being pinned to the ground when he caught a glimpse of his wife in the yard, and he gritted his teeth in anger.
"I'll beat up anyone who dares to help me. We brothers didn't hit the wrong person. You just said I'm your son. Now I'll show you if I'm not your son."
As the fourth brother spoke, he waved his fists, punching and kicking, and grabbing his hair tightly.
"I'll teach you to talk nonsense, I'll teach you to talk nonsense! You want to be my dad? Keep dreaming!"
Just then, someone shouted from behind.
"Hey, that's enough. You'll have to pay for it if you beat someone to a pulp."
It was Li Dazui's voice; the third and fourth brothers glared at him in unison.
Standing on the embankment, Li Dazui coughed lightly. "He's learned his lesson; he's vented his anger."
Li Guangzheng crawled through the air, took two steps forward, and then suddenly ran towards his own yard.
"Stop right there!" The fourth brother threw the branch he was holding. "You like being my dad, don't you? Come on!"
Sanwa also threw away his cane.
"Bang."
"Clang."
"Bang!"
Li Guangzheng went inside and closed the courtyard gate, shaking a lot of the soil off the gate.
The fourth brother rushed over and kicked the door twice.
"You think you're so great? You want to be my dad? Come out here, come out and take two kicks from me. I'll cripple you and then I'll take care of you when you die."
"Ha!"
"Why don't you look in the mirror and see your face, which looks like a toad's egg? Do you think you could have given birth to a son as handsome as me?"
"Next time you see me, you'd better stand still. I remember you used to pull my ear when we were kids. Next time I'll pull it back, and that'll be the end of it. Otherwise, I'll beat you up every time I see you."
"..." The fourth brother got carried away with his cursing, and the way he was planting rice seedlings with both hands made the third brother wonder if he hadn't studied properly at the village school and had only learned this.
This isn't enough to get by.
He should have gone mad and chopped down Li Guangzheng's door like those thugs, otherwise all that tuition money would have been wasted.
The next moment, he saw the fourth brother excitedly pick up the shovel next to him.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Li Guangzheng, come out here!"
"Are you fucking coming out or not? Whose son am I? Whose son are you? Can't you tell the difference?"
"If you can't tell, we can go to your family graves and ask your ancestors if they recognize me?"
The fourth brother shouted and cursed, "You country bumpkin, you bastard, come out here! If you've got the guts, come and acknowledge your father!"
Third Brother frowned and rubbed his forehead. "Fourth Brother, let's go back."
He winked at him, "His father is still alive."
The fourth brother was startled. He turned around and saw that the people who had been sitting under the big tree were watching from a distance.
Oh no, Li Guangzheng's father is still alive, but he has difficulty walking and has always stayed at home.
These cousins were united against outsiders, but among themselves, they flattered the powerful and looked down on the down-and-out.
"Li Guangzheng, remember this: if I find out you're spreading rumors next time, I'll chop down your house door and beat you until you're begging for your grandfather's hand. I'll change my surname to yours!"
After saying that, the fourth brother threw the stick in his hand over the courtyard wall, clapped his hands, glanced at the group of people watching the commotion with a smug look, and walked towards his own home.
Sanwa followed behind him, his steps steady, his sharp gaze sweeping over the crowd, exuding a murderous aura.
"Just like his mother, once he gets a hard fist, he becomes very ruthless."
Someone said something.
"She has four sons, all grown up. She's still the same Song Chunxue from before, with no one to care for her or help her. Now that she has four sons, she's got a lot more influence. Don't mess with her in the future."
"Let's go back to sleep. Li Guangzheng deserves it; he's never been a good person."
...
The fourth and third brothers walked silently to the outside of their own yard.
"Hahaha, Third Brother, did you enjoy beating that guy up?" Fourth Brother suddenly jumped up high and laughed loudly, "That was so damn satisfying!"
"Where have you two been?"
"..." The fourth and third brothers immediately stopped smiling.
