"Boss, were you guys dead just now? You just watched me get bullied like that?"
"Mother, I didn't..."
"You have nothing to offer, I shouldn't have brought you out, you pig-brain!"
As she walked, Aunt Bu vented her anger.
Old Fang, a grown man, was so humiliated that he couldn't lift his head.
The old woman wouldn't let him off the hook: "Look at you, I raised you to be so strong, just so you could make me angry? You're not even as good as your brother!"
Old Fang lowered his head in disappointment, "Mother, I was wrong."
"Of course it's you..."
"Stop! Robbery!" Even those going through the formalities couldn't stand it anymore and jumped out in advance.
Aunt Bu immediately exploded: "Robbery? What robbery? Robbery my ass!"
"I have nothing but my life, come and take it!" Granny Bu was furious and went all out, holding her own against seven or eight strong men.
Old Fang quietly tugged at Aunt Bu's sleeve: "Mother, stop talking."
"Why don't you say it, old lady..." Seeing the men opposite her pull out knives, Aunt Bu's remaining words were automatically silenced.
She dared not be defiant anymore and quickly hid behind her son.
"Don't expose yourself," someone whispered behind Lao Fang.
Old Fang didn't answer. He looked tremblingly at the eight burly men with knives opposite him, and mustered his courage to say, "I...we are all...farmers, we have no money."
The person standing at the very front across from us laughed heartily: "No money? You're trying to fool a fool!"
"Hurry up and hand over your jewels and fabrics!"
Bu Ling huddled behind Lao Fang, his eyes deep and unfathomable. They had indeed been targeted.
She poked her head out at the opportune moment and exclaimed in a shrill voice, "No! We don't have any gems!"
Old Fang and the other three were terrified, and they moved closer to each other without making a sound.
The monkey tried to reason with them, "B-Big brother, we didn't bring it, could we... could we go back and get it?"
"Monkey!" Granny Bu shrieked, "That's my gem!"
Fat Fish snapped, "Shut up!"
Aunt Bu opened her mouth to curse back, but Old Fang quickly covered her mouth.
The eight people opposite watched Granny Bu and her five companions like they were watching a monkey show, until they had enjoyed the five's panic for their time before remembering their own business.
"Brothers, they're not cooperating, let's go!"
Before he could finish speaking, eight people rushed over from the other side.
The four men, including Lao Fang, were terrified.
The arrogant old lady, who had just been acting tough, suddenly screamed.
Faced with the onslaught of eight people, Lao Fang and his companions were overwhelmed and mostly took hits, looking extremely pitiful.
Moreover, the eight people opposite seemed to have some martial arts skills; their moves were all methodical.
On the other hand, Lao Fang was just a simple farmer, and he had to take care of an old woman who was a burden. Before long, he was covered in blood.
At that moment, one of the men opposite moved with lightning speed, grabbing the screaming Granny Bu and throwing her to the ground. His henchman, wielding a knife, then...
"mother!"
Old Fang let out a shrill cry, his actions faster than his thoughts, and he rushed over to shield his mother with his body.
The knife naturally slashed onto Lao Fang's back.
The old woman's scream stopped abruptly, and she looked at the man on top of her in disbelief, "Boss?"
No one answered.
"Boss?"
Still no one answered.
"Boss~"
Suddenly, the old woman burst into a heart-wrenching wail...
The three monkeys also looked grief-stricken, and their attempts to retaliate became even more hesitant.
Faced with the swift attack of the eight, the three monkeys were soon covered in blood and could not hold on any longer.
Just when no one thought they were about to die, footsteps suddenly came from afar.
What are you doing?
The leader of the eight decisively ordered, "Clear!"
Then, the eight people vanished swiftly like a surging tide...
Only five miserable people remained.
A kind passerby was shocked to see the five people in this state and quickly turned back to call for help, who then took the five to the nearest hospital.
Fortunately, they were brought in in time. Although the four looked seriously injured, they all had superficial wounds and no major injuries, except for the knife wound on Lao Fang's back.
Of the five, the only elderly woman was not injured because she was carefully protected. After a check-up at the hospital, she was back to her energetic self.
Because they had gone through hardships together, the domineering old woman became unusually tender towards her son.
She stopped being stingy and started cooking different delicious meals for the four of them every day, as if she had become a completely different person.
"Eldest son, this is fish soup that your mother made for you. The doctor said it will help with your wound. Drink some." Aunt Bu carried a bowl of milky white fish soup into the ward.
On the hospital bed, Old Fang smiled sheepishly: "Thank you, Mom."
Aunt Bu glared at him and said, "I'm your own mother, why are you being so polite with your own mother?"
Old Fang was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears.
Grandma Bu rediscovered her maternal love, feeding her eldest son, who was lying down, fish soup spoonful by spoonful, and wiping his mouth tenderly from time to time.
Old Fang's face was full of affection for his son, and the mother and son enjoyed a peaceful moment together.
Passersby who saw this began to have less suspicion about the five people.
After feeding her son, Aunt Bu served fish soup to the other three people and showed them concern for a while before finally finishing up.
After staying in the hospital for two days, Lao Fang and his three companions insisted on being discharged.
"Mom, we don't have much money, so be careful. I'm fine." Old Fang still had that simple and honest look on his face.
Thinking of her nearly empty wallet, Aunt Bu finally nodded: "Okay."
She looked at her eldest son with immense affection: "When we get back, our family will have money."
"Once all six of you brothers can find wives, my mission will be accomplished. I will never do such dangerous things again."
