Chapter 412 "As children, none of us can tolerate others slandering our own mother."
(Thanks to Peony Gardenia for casting a monthly vote.)
Although Lai Xi and Lai Fu said that, given Wu Ji's size, neither of them dared to actually get close.
Wang Shisan saw Lai Xi and Lai Fu pick up stones from the ground and throw them at Wu Ji.
This really angered Wang Shisan!
Even if the Lai brothers, Lai Xi and Lai Fu, are from the Li family, and the other Wang family members in the village are afraid of them, Wang Shisan is not!
Besides, Wang Shisan and Li Shiyue's families are close.
He knew that although everyone in the family was surnamed Li, there was actually a great deal of grudge between Li Shiyue and his eighth uncle's family.
Therefore, Wang Shisan immediately stretched out his hand, pointed at Lai Xi Lai Fu, and shouted: "Dare to move again!"
I'll go tell Sister October!
"Let's see how you two dare to bully others now!"
Lai Xi and Lai Fu, the two brothers, naturally knew who Li Shiyue was and the grudges and disputes between him and their family.
So, the two brothers immediately backed down when they heard Wang Shisan say that.
The two didn't even have time to say anything harsh before they turned and ran away in a flash.
After watching the two run away, Wang Shisan turned around and asked Wuji, who was still standing there, "Wuji, how are you?"
Did they manage to avoid hitting them?
You're so tall and strong, beating them up would be as easy as catching chicks, wouldn't it?
They're just foul-mouthed. If you beat them into submission, they'll never dare to do it again!
Uji shook his head at Wang Shisan: "It's nothing, they're just talking, they didn't dare to lay a hand on me."
The master said, "Fighting is forbidden."
"Hey, Mr. Jiang's words were just nice to say!"
They've already insulted you like this; if you don't fight back, they'll say even worse things in the future.
If you ask me, Uji, tomorrow we'll ambush them on the road and give them a good beating, then they'll behave!"
Uji still didn't listen to Wang Shisan's advice; he didn't want to cause trouble for Gu Lanzhi.
However, Uji's forbearance only led to Lai Xi and Lai Fu becoming even more outrageous.
They went from insulting Uji as a "bastard without a father" and calling him a "barbarian who should be beaten to death," to even insulting Gu Lanzhi!
"You're a bastard, and your mother is that shameless, despicable woman..."
It didn't matter to him being insulted; Uji didn't care about others probing into and insulting his identity. As a Han-barbarian mixed-race individual, he was originally the lowest-ranking slave in the Mohe tribe.
He grew up hearing the dirtiest things.
As a child, he relied on Gu Lanzhi for protection and grew up little by little;
After he grew taller, that night he smashed the male slave who bullied his mother, he swore to God that he would never let anyone bully his mother again in his life!
This time, Wu Jita could no longer tolerate the insults from Lai Xi and Lai Fu!
Wu Jida's suppressed anger erupted instantly. He rushed forward and punched Lai Xi in the face.
How could Lai Xi possibly react?
With just one punch, Lai Xi fell to the side. While Lai Xi was still dazed, Wu Ji's other punch landed on Lai Fu's face.
The boys who were just standing around Lai Xilaifu were now so frightened by Wuji's beating that they staggered back and scattered, shouting in alarm.
"Say it again?" Wu Jida's voice was deep and dangerous, his eyes fixed on Lai Xi, who was lying on the ground, like a knife.
Lai Xi covered his face, which had immediately swelled up, his eyes filled with shock and anger, but in the end he didn't dare to speak again.
"Say it again?"
Uji's eyes turned red, and he raised his hand to deliver two more punches to Laixi.
Laifu was terrified. Seeing that Laixi was about to die, Laifu finally realized what was happening and scrambled home.
The matter eventually reached the Li family.
Li's mother glanced at the Eighth Uncle's group, then looked at Gu Lanzhi and Wuji.
Li Youfu, with a pipe hanging from his waist, coughed twice and then said to his mother, "Conflicts between children are nothing. Even if they fight, no one will say anything."
What boy doesn't fight when he's young?
However, "He," Li Youfu's eyes fixed on Wuji, who was standing silently beside Gu Lanzhi with his head down, "he's gone all out!"
What kind of grudge? What kind of hatred?
They dared to be so ruthless towards the Li family in Lijiatun!
Even if I brought them back in October, I can't just let this go!
Just before Li Youfu could speak, Li's mother interjected, "Uncle Youfu, Madam Gu and Wuji have done a great favor for Shiyue!"
The two of them asked us to settle here in October.
With something like this happening today, we'll have to wait until October comes back and let her know what happened, then we'll see what she says.
Perfect timing, tomorrow is the day I'll be able to go home from the garrison in October.
Even if you're in a hurry, one more night won't make a difference.
Why don't we wait until we return in October to discuss everything?
After Li's mother dismissed Li Youfu and his entire family by saying that Li Shiyue wanted to take a break and go home, she went to Gu Lanzhi and Wuji.
Don't be afraid!
It was their child who was at fault first, so please don't blame Wuji, Zhiniang.
As children, none of us can tolerate others speaking ill of our mother.
Li's mother reached out and patted Wuji's strong shoulder, "Besides, I just asked Dr. Jin. Although Laixi's tooth is missing, it just so happens that he is about to get a replacement tooth."
"Uji is a good boy. If he really wanted to kill, would Laixi still have the energy to squeal and yell like that?"
As she said this, Li's mother pulled Gu Lanzhi and Wuji to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard. "Don't worry, she will be back in October."
She definitely has a way to solve this.
As for Li Shiyue's solution?
When she returned, she listened to Li's mother and Jiang Huai and Wang Shisan, who had also come to the house, recount in detail how Wuji had fought with Lai Xi and Lai Fu over Gu Lanzhi.
She also asked Jiang Huai about Lai Xilaifu and Wuji's performance at school.
She listened carefully to what Wang Shisan told her: "...Uji endured it all!"
If Uji had listened to me back then, put them in sacks, and given them a good beating, none of this would have happened!
"Sister October, please don't send Uji away. I haven't learned his archery skills yet."
Looking at Wuji, the eldest son, huddled alone next to Gu Lanzhi, Li Shiyue said to her mother and the others, "I have something to say to them alone."
Since Li Shiyue had said that, Li's mother and the others naturally got up and left the house one by one.
Gu Lanzhi raised her head, holding Wuji's hand as she looked at Li Shiyue sitting in the chair. In that one glance, Li Shiyue saw the tears welling up in Gu Lanzhi's eyes.
Gu Lanzhi blamed herself in her heart. If she had known that Wuji was so isolated and discriminated against in school, she would have stopped Wuji from going to school long ago!
"General, let's go now..."
"Madam Gu, would you be willing to let Wuji take my surname, Li?"
