Ahhhhh
With a pitiful wail from Zhang, Tian Sangui awoke from the donkey cart.
For a moment, everything before my eyes felt unreal...
Did she get up too quickly and hallucinate?
She immediately rubbed her sleepy eyes open. At that moment, Zhang's cursing and the sound of Tian Laosi picking up a wooden stick and smashing it to the ground in despair made her realize that everything in front of her was not an illusion, but a real scene before her.
"Gods, who on earth did this? They're driving us to our doom..."
Zhang collapsed to the ground, pounding her fists on the ground, and cried out to the heavens in anguish.
Tian Da and Tian Er walked around the house with grim faces.
The fourth and fifth children started crying along with Zhang.
Tian Sangui stared at the collapsed thatched hut, her eyes blazing with anger. She clenched her fists tightly, and suddenly a direction became clear in her mind: "the old house!"
Besides them, no one else would dare to bully their family so blatantly.
"Father, Mother, Third Sister, there's only this axe left inside and outside the house. All our food and drink have been stolen. There are many footprints on the ground. Someone is deliberately trying to harm us."
Tian Da and Tian Er spoke at the same time, brandishing their axes. Before Tian Lao Si could speak, the axe in Tian Da's hand was suddenly snatched away by a force.
Tian Sangui, dragging his axe, strode coldly toward the old house.
"Her father, hurry and follow them, don't let them hurt San Gui!"
Even without Zhang's explanation, Tian Laosi had the same idea.
From the moment they first saw the scene at home, they had already made up their minds.
During the years they lived in the old house, the Yun family often used these methods and tricks to exploit them, and if they didn't spit out some bones, it would be a punishment of destruction.
But she's already taken the grain and meat, isn't she satisfied? Why must she go to such extremes?
At this moment, Tian Laosi's heart was bleeding, numb and unsure whether it was pain or suffering.
Why did his own mother hate him so much? Was it just because he went against her wishes and married Zhang?
At this moment, everyone in the old house is eating meat heartily, eating large bowls of white rice, and white steamed buns.
Completely forgetting the danger, they were happier today than during the Lunar New Year, after all, they got to eat such good food during the New Year.
Therefore, Madam Yun specially called Tian Laowu, who was staying at the school, home. She was serving her little darling a large bowl of meat when Tian Laowu was overjoyed and thanked Madam Yun for her greatness.
Although Madam Yun couldn't understand, her beloved son knew best that he was praising her. With the most loving smile on her face, she watched her youngest son eat with gusto.
In her heart, all her sons combined couldn't compare to the fifth son's single finger. He was clever and quick-witted from a young age, and exceptionally considerate and filial to Madam Yun. He was bound to have a bright future, and the whole family would depend on him. Perhaps she could even become an old lady of an official family in her lifetime.
Yun was happily dreaming when she suddenly heard a series of angry bangings on the gate outside the courtyard, each sound striking and shaking her to her core.
For a moment, everyone in the old house seemed to freeze in mid-air, even their breathing was cautious.
"Mother, what should we do? It must be that demon coming! Mother, I'm scared!"
Unable to bear the suffocating sound of the blows, Tian Laowu quickly dropped his chopsticks and hid in Yun Shi's arms, looking at the courtyard gate with terrified eyes.
Ever since Tian Sangui's bizarre awakening, he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep well for seven or eight days, and his studies plummeted. He still can't forget the disappointed look in his teacher's eyes.
"Don't be afraid, Mommy's here!"
Madam Yun comforted her precious son in her arms. In truth, she was also terrified, but then she thought that it was her fourth son who had been unfilial first, and as his biological mother, she deserved all of these things.
They felt more confident and became more assertive.
"Keep eating. The bottom of the door is sturdy, and she has the strength to knock on it. We'll talk about it after we finish eating."
Yun Shi was certain that Tian Sangui would get tired of knocking and go back, so he would talk to the fourth brother directly the next day. Why bother to confront Tian Sangui head-on?
Outside the door, Tian Sangui knocked for a long time without getting a response. This fueled his anger even more. Without saying a word, he took a step back, swung his Osaka axe, and chopped down hard on the door.
"Mother, something terrible has happened! That girl is banging on the door. If this keeps up, she'll break it down and get in soon!" Tian Laosan rushed back to the main room to report to Yun Shi.
"What a tragedy! How could my Tian family have produced such a son? Alas!" Old Master Tian lay back in his chair, looking regretful about the birth of Tian Sangui.
Yun was also troubled. She hadn't expected that this girl would have an axe on her. She really had doubts about her abilities.
After taking a bite of meat, Wang suggested to Yun, "Mother, why don't we open the door? If she really breaks in, it will be even harder for us to control her."
Anyway, the order was given by Yun, and it was also her idea to demolish the house. If Tian Sangui wanted to settle accounts with someone, it wouldn't be her. Wang was greatly shocked, but not afraid.
Once the meat is in your mouth, you can't spit it out, especially since it has nothing to do with her.
Upon hearing this, the sons urged Yun to open the door, fearing that if they angered Tian Sangui, none of them would be in a good position.
"Has the fourth brother arrived yet?" Yun asked Tian Laosan.
Tian Sangui is an unreasonable and rebellious person, and you can't reason with her. It would be much easier if Tian Laosi were around. As long as she sits down on the ground, Laosi will definitely stop Tian Sangui, and she will be safe.
"I...I didn't see it."
Judging by that scene, who would dare to come closer and take a look?
"You're useless..."
Just as Yun was about to complain about Tian Laosan, before she could even utter a word, she heard the sound of wood breaking and falling to the ground, and Tian Sangui dragged his axe through the door.
The moonlight shone from her back, illuminating her disheveled hair. With the sound of the axe scraping against the ground, she appeared like a demon from hell, each step feeling like a trampling on their hearts. The heavy atmosphere made them lose their breath.
The moment they stepped into the main room, everyone backed away, fearing she might go berserk and injure them with an axe.
Looking at the abundant dishes on the square table, Tian Sangui's anger reached its peak.
"You've eaten a really good meal. Stolen food always tastes better, doesn't it?"
"We didn't steal it, this is what my mother deserves!"
Listening to Tian Laowu's pretentious scholarly tone, Tian Sangui almost lost control and went up to chop him up. Couldn't he have some manly spirit?
"Well deserved..."
At this moment, Tian Da and Tian Er rushed over from the doorway and came up behind Tian Sangui.
"Search their kitchen for me."
The Tian brothers, together with Tian Sangui, glared at the people in the old house with disgust, then rolled up their sleeves and headed into the kitchen.
"No, you can't go in! Those are our things, you can't touch them!"
"fart!"
Wang was the first to feel sorry for him. She got up and tried to stop Tian Da, but she was blocked at the door by Tian Sangui, who was brandishing an axe.
Before long, the two brothers found a large pile of their belongings: grains, flour, vegetables that only Tian Sangui knew about, and bowls and chopsticks.
The square table was piled high with these familiar items. When Tian Lao Si came in, he saw them laid out before him. He had been unwilling to believe it before, perhaps he had misunderstood his parents. But as he hesitated, he began to believe it was the latter.
After seeing these items, he was completely disappointed in his parents. They hated him to this extent that even after separating from the family, they wouldn't let him go.
"Fourth brother, you've come at the right time. Quickly control this good-for-nothing of yours, she's going to kill your mother!"
Upon seeing Tian Laosi enter, Yun Shi reacted as if she had seen a savior, and then, with her usual confident tone, commanded him.
"I'll go and ask the village head; I don't want to let this matter go."
Tian Laosi's words struck like a thunderbolt, hitting everyone in the old house like a thunderclap.
No one expected that Tian Laosi, who had always been controlled by the Yun family, would utter such cold words today.
She assumed that Tian Laosi, including Tian Sangui, would at least side with Yun Shi and try to persuade her.
The result was such a reversal. It seems that the Yun family went too far and lost Tian Laosi's trust, leaving them only with despair.
"You unfilial son, stop right there!"
However, his resolute figure disappeared into the night without any hesitation.
