Zhao Damei originally came here hoping to gain an advantage, but ended up suffering a great loss.
When they returned, they all had a pained look on their faces, and Wan Qiuhui's constant cries of pain were quite annoying to her ears.
"Mom, my face is sore, will I really never be able to get a wife?"
Wan Qiuhui yelled at the top of her lungs, only to be slapped on the back of the head by Zhao Damei.
"Why are you crying? As long as our family has money, do you think we'll have trouble finding you a wife?"
After she finished speaking, Wan Qiuhui cried even harder: "But my family has no money!"
Now, this family is not only penniless, but also in debt. Although Zhao Damei has no intention of repaying the money, if it gets out when she's looking for a wife, what family would dare to let their daughter marry into the family?
The thought that her eldest son, Wan Qiufeng, was still unmarried made Zhao Damei even more upset.
On the way back, I kept scheming how to turn the tables.
They couldn't just stand by and watch Wan Suizhou's family become rich and live a prosperous life while they themselves were left destitute.
Once home, Zhao Damei went into the house without a word, lay down on the bed, and remained silent.
I ate it while I was at the restaurant, so I'm not hungry at all right now.
There was no rice or flour at home, so I didn't have to cook today.
Just because she's not hungry doesn't mean others aren't.
A half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home.
Wan Qiuhui was a ten-year-old boy, which was the age when he could eat the most. He was also well-fed and had a big belly, and his meals were quite large.
My stomach started growling just past noon.
As evening approached, he knocked on the door and called out, "Mother, Mother, I'm hungry!"
After knocking twice, no one answered.
Zhao Damei lay lazily on the bed, pretending not to hear, but eventually, annoyed by the knocking, she finally said:
"We're out of rice and flour at home again. If you want something to eat, go catch fish in the river or find some mountain produce!"
After saying that, Wan Qiuhui remained silent no matter how much she knocked on the door.
Wan Qiuhui is lazy, but he never lets himself suffer from hunger.
After much hesitation, I finally picked up the basket and went out the door.
As a young boy, he naturally dared not go out to sea. Fortunately, there was a mountain next to the village, and a small river at the foot of the mountain.
The village children used to catch fish there every day. Although Wan Qiuhui had never been there, she had seen it.
So he went with his head held high and full of confidence.
However, when he arrived at the place, he found that he wasn't alone. Children of all ages from the village were playing tag, gathered together, chatting and laughing.
He hesitated for a moment, wanting to go over as well, but the children saw him as soon as he lifted his foot.
"Hey, isn't this the precious young master of the Wan Sui Jin family? What are you doing here catching fish?"
"Don't say that, they might be here to supervise our construction!"
"After all, his family is notoriously lazy. Even if they starve to death and beg for handouts, they would rather do nothing!"
The group laughed loudly, making Wan Qiuhui's face burn with embarrassment.
She glared at him fiercely, "If you say another word, I'll tell my mother!"
Zhao Damei was shrewish and the most shameless person in the village. So no household wanted to have anything to do with her, and they would usually take a detour when they saw her.
Fearing that Wan Suijin's family would notice them and bring the whole family to freeload, they decided to do so.
People may be afraid to hit others, but they are not afraid of children.
Upon hearing this, an older person burst into laughter: "How old are you? You still complain to your mother about things! Shameless!"
The children behind them shouted, "Shameless!"
The group of people were making a ruckus, which made Wan Qiuhui's face tremble with anger.
There were too many people above him, so he didn't dare to hit anyone.
So his eyes fell on the little girl who was closest to him.
The girl was small and thin. Her father died when she was young, and her mother remarried, so she lived alone with her grandfather. She didn't talk much and was easy to bully.
Wan Qiuhui immediately found someone to vent her anger on, and with a sinister grin, she pounced on the little girl.
His action stunned everyone, and no one reacted in time to stop him!
Just as the little girl was about to be pushed into the water by Wan Qiuhui, a figure suddenly blocked her way.
"You're a grown man, what kind of skill is it to bully a little girl!"
Wan Yuekui had just arrived to catch fish when he saw Wan Qiuhui's actions from afar.
He is tall and runs fast.
He reached the girl in a few steps, and before he could finish speaking, he slapped Wan Qiuhui across the face.
Wan Qiuhui's face had just been scalded today and hadn't healed yet. Now, after being slapped, it felt like it was on fire, burning with pain.
With a cry of "Ouch!", she rolled on the ground and started throwing a tantrum.
"Wan Qiuhui, you shameless person!"
"Hitting a woman and then throwing a tantrum! Shameless!"
A group of children, witnessing this scene, all sided with Wan Yuekui. Not only did they refuse to help Wan Qiuhui up, they also laughed heartily.
Wan Qiuhui groaned on the ground for a while, feeling ashamed when no one came to help her up.
Finally, he got up, covered in dust and grime, and glared at Wan Yuekui and the others, saying fiercely, "You dare to bully me? Just you wait!"
After saying that, he ran upstream.
He unzipped his pants and peed in!
"I'm going to teach that kid a lesson today!"
Liu's eldest son was so angry that his eyes were blazing with fury, and he raised his foot to punch Wan Qiuhui.
After all, this river is extremely important to the village, so it's not a big deal that he's urinating and everyone can't fish anymore.
Most importantly, the village uses this place for drinking water and washing clothes every day!
As soon as he finished speaking, the boys on the side raised their hands, ready to follow him.
Just then, Wan Yuekui reached out and stopped them.
“If you beat him like that, he’ll go home and tell Liu Damei, and there’ll be another big fuss. That family is shameless; they’ll make you miserable no matter what you do with them.”
After he finished speaking, the group of teenagers immediately took action.
The leader raised his chin: "Then, Brother Yue Kui, what do you suggest we do?"
Wan Yuekui was a righteous man and a skilled fighter, making him very popular in the village. When asked about it now, he didn't mince words, saying directly, "When he goes back, we'll put a sack over his head and make sure he doesn't even know who beat him up!"
After saying that, a mischievous smile appeared on the faces of the group of teenagers.
Clearly, he strongly agreed with Wan Yuekui's idea.
When evening came, Zhao Damei lay in bed waiting and waiting, but didn't hear Wan Qiuhui return. She got up impatiently.
Just as I was putting on my shoes, I heard crying.
"Mother, Mother, someone hit me!"
She was startled and ran out of the yard barefoot without even putting on her shoes.
He grabbed Wan Qiuhui, who was sobbing uncontrollably.
By the moonlight, she looked down and saw that her son, who had only been burned during the day, now had bruises all over his face—clearly he had been beaten!
