68: I can't give you the red and sour fruit
Chapter 68 I Can’t Give You Sour Fruit
Sun was pregnant and felt hungry all day long. She could eat more than a man. Her stomach seemed to never be filled. Originally, the Shen family only ate 70% full. Even the children were given a certain amount of food. Only pregnant women were given more food. However, even if Sun ate the usual double portion of food, she was still not satisfied. She either complained about being hungry at home or gossiped with others outside that she was not full. She would always make a scene of having a miscarriage. Shen Youfu was so angry that he called her a glutton, but there was nothing he could do. In the end, Sun ate whatever she wanted and was finally full.
Today, Silang brought back some sour fruits. When Sun saw them, her mouth was full of water. She ate the sour fruits Silang brought. Silang took the sour fruits just to play with them. There were only five or six of them, which was not enough for Sun to eat. Sun was immediately dissatisfied and asked Silang to pick some more for her. She knew that no one wanted these fruits, so there must be a lot of them!
Silang was still young, and he couldn't pick the fruits by himself, so he asked his brother Sanlang for help. Sanlang was still afraid of his mother, and knew that if he didn't bring the fruits back, Silang would be in trouble, so he had to take Silang to pick the sour fruits. On the way, they met Su Zhi and her group.
Sanlang was too lazy to pick sour fruits at first, but when he saw they had so many sour fruits, he thought about coming over to get a basket, which would save him a lot of trouble. However, Dalang and Erlang were here and obviously didn't want to give them to him, so he threatened them.
When Erlang heard that Sanlang dared to threaten them, he immediately got angry and was about to rush forward with his fists clenched, but was stopped by Dalang.
Dalang was just about to ask Su Zhi to share some sour fruits with Sanlang. He thought it was not worth letting Sanlang go around making a fuss for some sour fruits. But before he could say anything, Chunyue screamed. It turned out that Sanlang saw Erlang was going to hit him. He was afraid for a moment, but when he saw Erlang was stopped by Dalang, he got bolder again. He thought, this damn Erlang is only a few days older than me. He always wants to suppress me. Today, I won't let you do what you want! While Dalang was blocking Erlang and turned his head, he stepped forward and grabbed Chunyue's stopper and ran away.
"You bastard! Stop right there!"
Erlang was so angry that he started chasing Sanlang, and they both disappeared in a flash.
Chunyue was pushed to the ground by Sanlang, and was helped up by Chunxiang and Chunlan. She gasped in pain. It turned out that her hand was scratched on a small stone, and the stone was sharp, and her hand was bleeding.
Chunxiang and Chunlan immediately started to scold Sanlang. Suzhi handed over her handkerchief and said she would go down the mountain to find a doctor. Chunyue quickly said it was okay and she just needed to wash and wrap it. Chunxiang said she would go down the mountain to find Sanlang and ask her uncle and aunt to pay for the medicine.
Dalang also frowned, thinking that Sanlang was going too far. He actually dared to snatch something for a few wild fruits and even pushed his own cousin to the ground. If he was not disciplined, he would be ruined in the future!
Silang wanted to run away quietly, but was grabbed by Chuncao, who clenched her fist and beat Silang. While beating him, she cursed: "You bad guy! Your brother is also a bad guy! You beat my sister! I will beat you!"
Shiro held his head and shouted, "I didn't hit him! It wasn't me! Don't hit me, I'm not a bad guy!"
Chunlan called Chuncao, holding Silang's hand, and said, "Let's go home and talk to Grandpa and Grandma about this. If we don't take care of this Sanlang, he will become a robber in the future!"
Su Zhi also wanted to go. She went for the hawthorns. It was not because she couldn't save the basket of hawthorns, but there was another reason. She had to go!
Chunxiang supported Chunyue, whose legs and butt were sore from the fall, Chunlan held Silang, Dalang took a bag of hawthorns thrown away by Erlang, and Suzhi held Chuncao, and they walked towards the village together.
Several people arrived at Su Zhi's house, put down the hawthorns, and then hurried back to the old house. Li saw that Chunyue's hand was broken. When she heard that it was Sanlang who pushed her, she frowned. She was gentle and didn't like quarrels. Because she didn't have a son, she always tolerated it at home, but she would not tolerate it when it came to her daughter. She felt distressed when she saw her daughter injured, and she didn't pull Chunyue. She lowered her head and walked out of the yard towards the west of the river.
"Second Aunt is going to settle accounts with Sanlang. I'm going to tell Dad and Second Uncle!"
Dalang chased after her as he spoke. He knew that Second Auntie was no match for a shrew like Sun, so he had to go and talk to Shen Zifu and Shen Zigui.
Chunyue was also anxious, not caring about the pain, and limped out. Chunxiang and Chunlan hurried over to support her, and Chuncao also ran out. Chunyun hurriedly ran behind, and ended up falling down, about to cry. Suzhi went over to pick her up and followed her out.
The three brothers Shen Zi'an had already heard what Dalang had said. Shen Zifu and Shen Zigui both followed Dalang back. Shen Zifu was worried that Erlang would really beat Sanlang, and Shen Zigui was worried about Li.
"Zi'an, I have to go. I want to tell my third sister-in-law that she can't eat too much hawthorn. Eating too much hawthorn in the first few months of pregnancy is not good for the body. I heard that she eats a lot of everything now that she is pregnant, so don't let her eat too much."
What Su Zhi wanted to say was that she didn't care if she ate too much, but the hawthorns she ate were snatched from her, and it would be troublesome if something happened and she was blamed!
Shen Zian realized the seriousness of the matter when he heard it. The third brother and his wife were like sticky candies, and it was not easy to get rid of them. They would not stop until they took away all the money in their family, and they would do it for the rest of their lives! He dared to guarantee that they would do so! Thinking of the consequences, he immediately asked Su Zhi to put Chunyun on his back, and then he carried Chuncao and Su Zhi on his back and walked quickly towards the west of the river!
After Sanlang grabbed the basket of sour fruits, he ran as fast as he could. He regretted it after he finished, not because he realized that it was wrong to steal, but because Erlang kept chasing him. He was afraid of Erlang, and he couldn't beat Erlang. Erlang's beatings were very painful. He ran as fast as he could, scaring the chickens and dogs on the roadside, which some flew away, and attracted the attention of people on the street. Seeing the brothers chasing each other, they knew that there was excitement in the old Shen family again, and they all followed them.
"Mom! Help! Erlang is going to kill me!"
Sanlang finally ran into the house and saw Sun in the yard. He immediately rushed over and hid behind Sun. He finally felt safe and raised his head proudly when he saw Erlang running in.
Sun glared, put her hands on her hips, and cursed: "Erlang! You are crazy! Why are you chasing our Sanlang for no reason? Do you want to kill him? I don't think you dare! Get out of here!"
"Who are you telling to get out of here?"
Wang came out of the kitchen, threw the rag in her hand to the ground, and came over with a sullen face and glaring eyes. Her son was not someone who could be scolded!
"Sun, my son is a decent man. Why did he chase Sanlang? Why didn't he chase someone else? If Sanlang had done nothing wrong, why would he run away? You said my Erlang was crazy without asking clearly. I think you should get out of here!"
"Is there anything that can't be discussed calmly? He was definitely going to hit me, so my brother ran away! Is this how a brother should act? Don't think that a brother can just hit his brother without restraint!"
Sun saw Wang glaring at her, but she was not afraid. Although this sister-in-law was powerful, she was not weak either! Moreover, she was pregnant, so she did not dare to hit herself!
Erlang pointed at Sanlang and cursed, "He deserves to be beaten! We went up the mountain to pick red sour fruits, and we met him on the way down. He asked us for them, and before we said whether we would give them to him or not, he pushed Chunyue down, snatched the basket and ran away! Isn't he a robber? Is there any brother like him? He actually pushed his sister down, and what's more, those things belonged to Fourth Auntie, and he actually dared to steal things from the elders!"
Wang looked at the basket of sour fruits in Sanlang's hand with contempt on her face. She knew that the children went to pick sour fruits with Su Zhi, and she also heard that Sun asked Silang to pick sour fruits. She didn't expect that they would meet each other, and Sanlang even snatched things from the fourth brother's wife. Now there would be excitement again.
Shen Youfu, Shen Zhangshi, Shen Ziju and Shen Zhu also came out after hearing the noise. After hearing what happened, they all felt that it was a big deal. It was just a basket of sour fruits. What's the big deal?
"Just do what you need to do! You're making such a fuss over such a worthless thing, aren't you afraid of being laughed at? Go back to your rooms! Erlang Sanlang won't have dinner tonight!"
"Grandpa! We can't leave it like this!" Erlang shouted unconvinced, "Sanlang is robbing! If he continues like this, he will become a thief sooner or later! Do you want our Shen family to produce a scum like this?! Even if we can be shameless in the future, do you want your fifth uncle to be shameless too?!"
"You are such a jerk! How dare you curse my son like that? My son will be a wealthy man in the future! This is what the old immortal told him! Don't talk nonsense! If you continue to talk nonsense, I will tear your mouth to pieces!"
When Wang heard what Sun said, she also cursed: "Whose mouth did you tear? Who is my son to you? He is your nephew! You are a shrew who doesn't know the difference between right and wrong! If you dare to say that you tore my son's mouth again, believe it or not, I will tear your mouth!"
"Shut up, everyone!"
Shen Zhang looked at the increasing number of people outside the door looking inside, her face becoming unhappy. This was truly a misfortune for the family. Why did everyone make her worry?
At this time, Shen Zifu, Shen Zigui, Li and their group hurried in. When they saw that their family members were standing there safely, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Zian and Su Zhi walked faster than the injured Chunyue and the others and followed them in. When they arrived, those who were watching the excitement became more excited, and the old couple of the Shen family looked even uglier.
Su Zhi walked forward and bowed to the old couple, then said to Sun: "Third sister-in-law, when we were going down the mountain just now, Sanlang grabbed this basket of red sour fruits without my consent. As a mother, I shouldn't have argued with my nephew over such a small thing. If it was something else, I wouldn't have argued, but I really can't give you these red sour fruits."
