When Qin Lao Er heard his daughter say that, he was also furious and slapped her.
"Dad, don't hit my sister. It was Grandma and Gou Dan who bullied us. My sister tied him to the tree because she saw him hitting me."
The onlookers were whispering among themselves, "Oh dear, Old Qin's wife is really wicked. Even if she's biased, she shouldn't treat her granddaughter like this."
"That's really despicable. She'll get what's coming to her later."
"What are you all saying? You're all just watching the show. Is there nothing wrong with your families? You're so shameless!" Old Mrs. Qin shouted.
An old woman, unable to stand it any longer, said, "You old shrew, so cruel to your own granddaughter, aren't you afraid of shortening your lifespan? What's wrong with laughing at you? You're a joke all along."
When Old Qin's wife saw that her second son was silent and that outsiders were laughing at her, she started crying and wailing again.
At this moment, Old Man Qin said, "These wild vegetables are disrespectful to your mother and need to be taught a lesson, but they are all family, so don't kill them."
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Qin quickly said to her husband, "Honey, didn't you hear what Dad said? Teach her a lesson. She has no respect for her elders." As she spoke, she winked at her son.
The three children immediately grabbed Qin Yecai, saying, "Brother, tie her to a tree. This little brat dares to tie me to a tree. Let's teach her a lesson."
As he spoke, he began to press her down, intending to tie her up.
When Tingting saw the wild vegetables overturn them all, she felt like she had traveled through time.
This wild vegetable from Qin is quite strong; I never realized it before.
When Qin Laoda saw this, he helped his son, and the whole family pitched in to tie it to the tree.
When the woman saw this, she cried out, "Mother, stop picking wild vegetables! You're going to kill someone!"
"Hey, say something! Stop hitting him!" Gou Dan, trying to vent his anger, was whipping the wild vegetables with a tree branch.
"Second brother, if you dare to interfere, you don't have me as your mother anymore. Beat him, he's causing trouble."
Qin Lao Er looked down at his daughter on one side and his mother on the other.
"How can you be so spineless, Qin Lao Er? I'm going to find the captain!" Wild Vegetable Mother cried out.
When Sister-in-law Qin saw that the second son's wife was about to go find the team leader, she pulled her back.
“If you dare to go, you will be disobeying your mother. You are such an unfilial child. If you don’t teach him, I will teach him for you. You have a mother to raise you, but no mother to teach you.”
Tingting was terrified when she saw this scene. It was something that happened in a novel, but now it actually happened. Seeing Qin Yecai beaten up like that was a shock to her, a modern person who lived in a society governed by law. People like this were rare.
She immediately ran to find the captain, saying, "If they keep hitting the child, they might beat him to death! Sister-in-law, I'm going to find the captain!" and then she ran off.
"Auntie, is Uncle home?"
"I'm here. What's wrong? What happened?"
"Uncle, go and take a look, the wild vegetables look like they're about to be killed."
"What? Let's go quickly! Harvest is coming too. I want to see what's going on."
When they arrived, the wild vegetables had been beaten so badly that the clothes on the child's body were torn, the hair was disheveled, and there were bloodstains on the body. The child was breathing but not exhaling. Nowadays, children are strong when doing farm work, and if the beating is too severe, the situation could become serious.
What's going on? Why are they tied to a tree and beaten?
“This kid hit me! He’s unfilial! He even tied his brother to a tree and beat him! Captain, you have to stand up for me!”
Upon seeing this, Tingting immediately said, "I saw Aunt Qin pick wild vegetables first, and then say she wanted to beat her to death."
"Uncle, things aren't like they used to be. How can this situation still exist? What if someone really gets killed?"
“It’s not just our team that’s being criticized; your uncle is also affecting you. He’ll say that there’s something wrong with the thinking in our village.”
"You brat, what's it to you? This is my family's business. Why are you interfering so much when I'm disciplining my own child?"
"Auntie, what you're saying is wrong. It's true that you hit the child, but you're beating him to death. He eats little and works a lot. Are you a landlord?"
"What nonsense are you spouting, Captain? Stand up for me!"
"Alright, Aunt Qin, it's fine to discipline the child, but you can't hit him like that. Put him down right now."
"Uncle, what if they keep fighting if you leave? Nobody can stop them now."
“Uncle, you are the captain of our team and the hope of this child. Without you, this child would be finished,” Tingting said, holding her head high.
Sure enough, the team leader said, "Aunt Qin, you can hit the child, but if something happens and someone dies, I'll send you to town and put you in jail. What time is it now? You need to have new ideas. If anything happens to this child, I'll hold you accountable."
"Alright, all of you stop gathering here to watch the show. Go back and stay put. You've had a long, boring day."
The onlookers dispersed after hearing what the captain said.
Old Mrs. Qin glared at Tingting, secretly cursing, "You brat, meddling in other people's business."
"Aunt Qin, why are you looking at me like that? If anything happens to the wild vegetables, I'll tell the team leader. My husband has three brothers, and I'm not afraid of you." With that, she turned and left.
"Look at us, now even outsiders dare to bully us. Second brother, you're an unfilial son, even your son is a money-loser. My life is so miserable!" she wailed.
When Wild Vegetable Mother saw that someone was speaking up for her, she quickly put the child down. Wild Grass also heard Tingting speak up for her, but now that she was beaten like this, she thought she would go and thank her when she recovered.
