Wang Tianxiao was not intimidated by their imposing manner. He walked straight towards the ward and stopped only when he was in front of the two men.
Looking through the gap between the two, he saw his mother, Zhang Yufeng, sitting with her back to the door, her hands tightly gripping Wang Tiancheng's. She was probably crying. Wang Tiancheng comforted his mother with a helpless expression.
"Second Brother, what happened to Fifth Brother?"
Wang Tianren didn't speak, but stared coldly at Wang Tianxiao. It was Wang Tianyi who asked the question.
"Didn't the fifth brother tell you?"
Wang Tianxiao said casually, "He slipped down the hillside while trying to save a girl."
"That's it?" Wang Tianyi was surprised that Wang Tianxiao spoke so casually. His fifth brother was perfectly fine at home, but he insisted on taking him to the mountains, and now he's fallen and gotten into this state. Shouldn't he feel guilty?
"What else do you want? If you don't believe me, you can ask Tiancheng," Wang Tianxiao craned his neck and shouted into the room, "Tiancheng, tell your third and fourth brothers why you were injured?"
The moment Wang Tianxiao spoke his first words outside the door, the people inside heard them.
Wang Tiancheng felt his mother's hand stiffen as she pulled him, and he knew she was angry.
This anger, without any reason, was vented on her second brother.
In fact, he had been used to this kind of thing since he was a child. It was nothing unusual for his second brother to be scolded or even beaten because of his brothers. Anyway, he had always been the one to suffer the most.
She is the hardest working person in the family, yet she is also the one who suffers the most.
"Second brother is right. Didn't I tell you that back then? You've already seen the person."
Zhang Yufeng shook off Wang Tiancheng's hand and said irritably, "You're still trying to cover for him. You're ignorant, and neither is he. How could we let you do something so dangerous? And you think your mother is stupid?"
"mother……"
"Stop hiding it. In the Wang family, rewards and punishments are always clear and straightforward. Whoever is responsible will be held accountable. If it's yours, you can't escape it; if it's not yours, you can't bear the consequences."
“Mother…” Wang Tiancheng didn’t know what to say.
Outside the door, Wang Tianxiao overheard his mother's conversation with Wang Tiancheng and said calmly, "You heard me clearly. Tiancheng did it to save a girl. Of course, if I brought Tiancheng into the mountains, then it is indeed my fault, and I bear the responsibility..."
Wang Tianren said coldly, "In the end, you know it was you who sent Lao Wu to the mountains. If he had stayed at home, how could this have happened?"
"That's right, Second Brother, it's obvious that you didn't think things through."
"That's right, that's right."
Yu Xiaofeng and Sun Xiaolan inside also echoed their husbands.
It was as if everyone except Wang Tianxiao was one family.
"Third brother and sister-in-law, fourth brother and sister-in-law, this really can't be blamed on second brother. There was no danger in that job. It was just that I was too impulsive and careless." Wang Tiancheng seemed to see a familiar scene again. Through the gap between people, he saw his second brother standing at the door with a calm face, but he knew that he must be very upset inside.
In the past few days, he has been walking around in the mountains with his second brother and chatting with him many times. The image of the man who was originally just a broad-shouldered man in his memory has gradually become clearer.
He discovered that his second brother was truly a very responsible man.
He has a gentle personality, yet he is not easily humiliated. He does his best to make those around him happy. No matter who they are, once they have interacted with him, they will unconsciously trust him and want to be with him.
Perhaps it is because of his sincere nature and warm personality that he possesses qualities that all kind-hearted people yearn for most and are most easily attracted to.
In contrast, his other older brothers each had their own problems, some of which were quite serious.
Take Third Brother for example. Looking back now, Third Brother really didn't do many things well.
To put it mildly, he's henpecked and follows his wife Yu Xiaofeng's lead in everything.
To put it bluntly, he has no conscience at all.
The reason I'm still here is because my mother is still here. If she weren't here, this mask of hypocrisy would probably be torn off immediately. At that point, let alone whether the brothers could get along, even normal interactions would be a problem.
Fourth Brother is two-faced, saying one thing to people and another behind their backs.
He didn't deny that his fourth brother was slightly better than his third brother, thinking that hypocrites should at least put on an act. However, hypocrites would do everything according to their own interests, and his fourth brother was just greedy for fame and fortune.
Where's my older brother...?
To be honest, Wang Tiancheng didn't know much about it.
The eldest brother was much older than him. He had been following his second brother since he was old enough to understand things. His eldest brother rarely came home throughout the year, and even when he did, he was never smiling. He was always scolding and arranging things like a father, and he didn't feel any affection from his brother.
It's hard to say for the older sisters either.
Although my eldest sister is very gentle and virtuous, she has been living in Lancheng, hundreds of kilometers away, for a long time. As for my second sister, she is always busy and energetic. Now, I don't know where she has gone. She said she went to work in the south, but I haven't heard from her for more than half a year. I still don't know where she is.
In contrast, my second brother was more like a normal older brother. He provided me with warmth in daily life and would also give me advice in a very gentle way.
Gradually, he also learned many things from his second brother that he couldn't understand before.
But.
In this family, when everyone has their own problems, the second brother, who has no problems, becomes the odd one out.
They are attacked and ostracized everywhere.
He has already left the pit-dwelling courtyard and gone to the mountains, but because of this incident, he is once again being targeted by these people. He must be very disappointed and sad.
