Rong Dong'an and his wife Xu from Zhonggui Village desperately wanted a daughter, but ended up having four sons in a row.
This greatly worried Rong Dong'an and his wife, but unfortunately, Xu had injured her body when she gave birth to their fourth child and could no longer have children.
So every time I see someone else's daughter being innocent, cute, and charming, I wish I could snatch her home!
Ever since they could remember, the four rascals of the Rong family had envied other families who had well-behaved and cute little sisters, but they didn't have any!
So the brothers put their heads together and decided to find a sister they liked and bring her home.
But they searched for a long time without finding a younger sister they particularly liked.
Some of the girls were too naughty, too prone to crying, and too pretentious. They also always assumed that the four brothers had taken a liking to them and wanted to become their wives…
So the four brothers searched for more than ten years but could not find a girl they were satisfied with to be their sister.
But fate was kind to them; an old gambler from the same village picked up a well-behaved and quiet little girl from outside.
Her eyes were incredibly bright and lively. With a slight smile, she looked like a fairy descending to earth, making the four brothers' hearts flutter. They couldn't wait to snatch the girl away from the old gambler.
But the old gambler was despicable! He knew perfectly well that the brothers liked the girl he had taken in, yet he refused to let her have any contact with them.
They weren't even allowed to call the little girl "sister"!
If the old gambler finds out, he will beat the girl, so they can only secretly call her "sister" in private.
On this day, just as dawn broke, the villagers went to work in the fields early.
Rong Hua, the eldest son of the Rong family, and Rong Zheng, the second son, went with their mother to harvest rapeseed in the fields, while Rong Mu, the third son, and Rong Yu, the fourth son, stayed at home to feed the pigs, do laundry, and tidy up the house.
Just as they were busy at work, Tiger, the neighbor of the old gambler, came running to their house like a madman, shouting, "Rong Mu, Rong Yu, something terrible has happened! The old gambler is beating your sister again!"
Upon hearing Hu Zi's shout, Rong Mu and Rong Yu immediately put down what they were doing. "That old gambler is too hateful! Fourth brother, go and tell our eldest and second brothers that we're going to snatch our sister back today."
As Rong Mu spoke, he grabbed a broom and ran towards the old gambler's house.
The speed was like a gust of wind.
They were afraid that if they arrived too late, the girl they had their eye on would be beaten up by the old gambler.
Rong Yu and Hu Zi quickly followed to find their eldest and second eldest brothers.
Outside a dilapidated thatched hut at the end of Zhonggui Village, a burly middle-aged man was viciously beating a thin, frail girl with a long, thin stick.
The girl was beaten black and blue, her clothes were torn by the old gambler, and her exposed skin was covered with messy wounds. She curled up and hid everywhere, looking very pitiful.
"You good-for-nothing! I told you to steal some money so you could go to town and show off, but you absolutely refused!" The old gambler looked like a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell. "I didn't bring you back so you could live a life of luxury. If you don't steal some money for me, I'll take your life!"
The old gambler, still feeling resentful after hitting the girl, raised his foot and kicked her hard.
The girl was already petite, how could she withstand a kick from the old gambler?
The kick sent the girl sprawling to the ground.
Unfortunately, the little girl fell face-first onto a sharp rock, and her small body immediately went still.
Upon seeing this, the old gambler's anger instantly vanished.
He quickly squatted down, reached out his trembling hand to test it, and then collapsed to the ground, his face pale.
"Dead... no breath... how could he die so quickly... he was too fragile..."
The old gambler was terrified and it took him a while to come to his senses.
The old gambler, regaining his senses, quickly got up from the ground, strode into the thatched hut, found a rope inside, tied the girl up tightly, and threw her into the deep mountains!
If anyone asks later, just say she couldn't stand being beaten and scolded and ran away secretly.
"That's a great idea," the old gambler thought to himself, pleased with himself.
Unexpectedly, just as he tied the girl up, the four Rong brothers arrived at his house like a whirlwind and surrounded him.
The four Rong brothers watched as their beloved sister was beaten black and blue by the old gambler and tied up. Their hearts nearly stopped beating: "Sister!"
Seeing his sister bound and motionless, Rong Mu's eyes turned red with anxiety: "You old gambler, didn't I tell you not to hit my sister? Why are you going back on your word?!"
Rong Mu was furious. The sister that the brothers had finally found had been beaten so badly by the old gambler, like he was beating an animal.
Rong Mu was so angry that his teeth itched, and he hit the old gambler hard with a broom.
The old gambler screamed in pain and immediately released the girl who was bound hand and foot.
But Rong Mu did not let the old gambler off the hook; instead, he hit the old gambler hard with a broom several times.
While the old gambler was curling up in pain, the broom struck him swiftly and accurately on the arms and hands!
It was these same hands that beat my sister so badly.
It was also because of his gambling addiction that his younger sister was beaten and scolded every day.
So we need to break these hands!
Without hands, let's see if that old gambler still dares to gamble!
The three Rong brothers did not stop Rong Mu from beating up the old gambler because their attention was entirely on their sister.
Seeing their younger sister lying motionless on the ground, like a lifeless rag doll, they quickly untied the ropes binding her.
