"Go stand in the backyard."
Upon hearing this, Sun Lin looked at his father in disbelief. Such a light punishment was too weak. However, since he was the beneficiary, he kept quiet and just enjoyed it secretly.
I obediently lowered my head and trotted over to reflect, although there was nothing to reflect on.
Dad Sun pursed his lips and thought to himself: It’s a bit too early to be happy, the pain is still to come.
The most important thing now is to comfort my wife, explain things to her clearly, and then free up my hands to deal with this daring boy.
Dad Sun frowned and sighed. It would really cause trouble. They just came to collect debts.
Mother Sun's eyes were moist as she looked eagerly behind Father Sun. Seeing that there was no sign of Sun Lin, she looked anxiously at Father Sun. She couldn't possibly convince the second boy to run away, so she could only show off her eloquence.
"Where's Linzi?"
"In the backyard."
"How's it going? Did you find out?"
Mother Sun asked the question that concerned her most: I'm glad the person didn't run away.
Father Sun first glanced at the eldest son, Sun Sen, then thought, we are all family, all grown up, if not for the desire to go to college, we should get married and start a family, so we should have some idea about these things, so he stopped talking behind Sun Sen's back:
"The money he made with others in the black market."
Just these words blew up Sun Ma's ears, and she felt dizzy.
black market!
Is that something that ordinary people like them can touch? It's not like they have reached the end of their rope. If they get caught, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Mother Sun's scalp went numb just thinking about it. With trembling hands, she relied on Sun Sen's strength behind her. Her lips quivered as she slowly stood up. Without saying anything, she walked straight to the kitchen.
There was a sense of determination in the back figure. Sun Sen and his father looked at each other, feeling something was wrong, and hurried over to stop Sun's mother.
"Mom, what do you want to do? Let's put the knife down first."
Grandma Sun was holding a knife with a fierce look on her face, which frightened the two grown men. They surrounded her and kept trying to persuade her.
"Wife, give me the knife. I will teach Lin Zi a lesson."
"Mom, don't be angry, or you'll get sick. Dad and I are here in the forest. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again."
“…”
“Get out of the way!”
Sun's mother yelled angrily, and the two of them were trembling with fear, but they still stopped Sun's mother from committing the crime.
"We can't give in to this."
Dad Sun shouted silently. Seeing that Mom Sun's attention was almost attracted by Sun Sen, he took advantage of Mom Sun's inattention and quickly stepped forward to grab Mom Sun's wrist, and used one hand to remove the sharp weapon - the knife.
“What are you doing!”
After his attack, Sun's father succeeded and put the knife behind his back. He advised the agitated Sun's mother, "You are the one who is going to do something. Why are you using the knife when there is nothing wrong?"
"If not a knife, how can I chop bamboo? With my hands?!" Sun's mother yelled.
The loud noise in front was transmitted to the backyard. Sun Lin heard the noise and deliberately tilted his head to observe the situation.
This... doesn't seem good. His back is still burning with pain. The feather duster has hit him hard, and it seems that the intensity is about to escalate. He looks around at his small body and doubts whether he can withstand Sun Ma's bamboo stick.
At least he had never thought about running away.
This is his home. He took such a big risk just to make his family's life better. He can't do anything that puts the cart before the horse.
He retracted his head, took a deep breath, and secretly encouraged himself and hypnotized himself: Let the storm come even harder! He was fearless.
"What...what, you are going to cut bamboo?" Dad Sun was obviously stunned. Judging from his wife's expression as if she was looking for someone to fight with, misunderstanding was inevitable. He said weakly.
"So what do you think?"
"You don't think I would kill an unfilial son with a knife, do you? He's my son, even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. Is that the kind of person I am in your eyes?"
Mother Sun questioned in a cold voice, her eyes fixed on Father Sun. If Father Sun's eyes were even slightly evasive, she would grab the knife and chop him without hesitation.
At this time, Father Sun was quite witty. Even if he really thought so in his heart, he did not reveal his thoughts on his face. He said seriously:
"Of course not. We've been friends for so many years, how could I not understand you? Aren't I just worried that you might hurt your hands while chopping bamboo? It's such a small matter, so you don't have to go, my wife. I can go and pick out a bamboo of suitable thickness for you, so that it's easy to use and won't hurt your skin when you hit it."
As Mr. Sun spoke, he retreated and ran out of the yard with a knife in hand to cut bamboo.
"That's quite perceptive."
Sun Ma’s evaluation is fair.
"Boss, you can't tell anyone about Lin Zi's affairs. Just educate your family and don't say a word about grandma. Got it?"
"Mom, I'm an adult now. I know what's important and what's not. I understand."
"I'm glad you understand. Then go review your lessons first. You have the college entrance exam and time is running out."
Given the situation at home, Sun Sen had no intention of reviewing, but seeing his mother's unquestionable look, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Forget it, I'll discuss it with him after Lin Zi gets over this beating. There's no need to rush.
Dad Sun really cut a bamboo strip that was neither too thick nor too thin and handed it to Mom Sun as if she were presenting a treasure.
Mother Sun waved the sword in her hand, and the sound of it breaking through the air made her very satisfied. Then she strode towards the backyard where Sun Lin was.
Sun Sen pricked up his ears in the room. Every time the bamboo stick made a sound, his flesh trembled. Although it was not hitting him, he felt almost the same pain.
He stopped torturing himself and stopped listening, but he still couldn't help feeling anxious.
Sun Lin was supported by his father and brought back by taking small steps of less than ten centimeters.
This matter is not over yet. Now only the body has been educated, but the mind has not been educated.
Sun Lin's hands were shaking uncontrollably. He was lying on the bed with his pants torn into strips. Because they were made of black fabric, the blood color could not be seen.
However, you can also see a bit of the rolling flesh, and Sun Ma's attack was usually heavy-handed.
The first time the Sun family used corporal punishment, the consequences were quite tragic. Sun Lin was fortunate to have set a precedent.
The bamboo stick in the backyard that had completed its mission had already cracked and was thrown on the ground with no one paying attention to it. Only the red blood on it represented its experience, and its broken body was silently shedding tears.
Mother Sun returned to her room and took out a floral cloth bag from the cabinet. She took out sixty cents from the bag with three layers of cloth inside and outside. Just as she reached the door of the room, she turned back and wrapped the sixty cents tightly and put it away.
Isn't he capable? Then don't use the family's money to treat his injuries!
I came to the main room and sorted out the banknotes scattered on the ground, one by one.
It’s not a small amount, more than seven yuan, which is more than three months’ work points for the whole family.
If something happens, the whole family will suffer just for these three months' wages. The eldest son's hope of going to college will be dashed, and Ye Zi will also be affected.
One person harms the whole family, like a bad apple!
Mother Sun kept muttering to herself, and as she muttered, tears began to flow down her face, and she couldn't wipe them away.
Ultimately, it is because they are incompetent parents that they let their son take risks.
All her children are very smart in the village, but they are the ones who are holding their children back.
"What's wrong?"
When Mr. Sun walked in and saw Mrs. Sun lying motionless, he couldn't help but ask.
Mother Sun turned her back to Father Sun, handed him sixty cents, and whispered, "Go buy a bottle of red medicine."
Dad Sun felt something was wrong when he heard the voice. Mom Sun hadn't turned around to speak, but instead had her back to him, which seemed a little unusual.
I turned my hand over Sun's mother's shoulders and saw that her eyes were red, knowing that she had cried again. I raised my hand to wipe the inside of her clothes clean, carefully wiped away the tears on her cheeks one by one, and hugged her in my arms.
I couldn't help but curse Sun Lin, that bad boy, in my heart. He made Sun's mother cry twice today. I will teach him a lesson when he feels better.
His wife has cried for him twice, but he hasn't received such treatment yet.
"Don't cry, I'll take care of everything. The sky won't fall, and Sun Lin can't jump out of my Five Finger Mountain. Relax and don't be sad..."
At this moment, Mr. Sun was full of tenderness, and he spoke to Mrs. Sun in a soft voice.
"Okay, go buy some red medicine!"
Mother Sun couldn't stand Father Sun's coaxing and nagging, and she thought that they were already an old couple, but they were still doing the same thing as they did in the past. She felt a little uncomfortable and just wanted to get rid of Father Sun as soon as possible.
"That kid doesn't need red medicine. He'll be full of energy in five days. Wouldn't it be a waste to give him such a good thing?"
"Whether you go or not, he's your son, don't you feel bad?"
"If you don't go, I will go. I will feel bad for my son myself."
"Okay, okay, I'll go."
Dad Sun was helpless. You were the one who hit others, and you were also the one who felt sad. Why bother?
Sun Lin was lying on the bed, groaning and making shahaha sounds with his mouth. The reason was that Sun Sen was changing him into a pair of fitted pants, and in the process, he was a little rough with his hands and feet and touched the wound.
"Brother, brother, be gentle, you are murdering your own brother."
Sun Sen was startled by Sun Lin's shout, and he couldn't control himself. He put the cloth he had picked up back on the ground and glared at Sun Lin, who was sweating profusely.
"Shut up!"
"No. It hurts. It will feel better if I scream."
"Quack!"
Although he said that, he did use less strength in his hands and was more careful, for fear of hurting the bruised Sun Lin again.
After finally putting on his pants, Sun Sen was sweating profusely, not much worse than Sun Lin.
Literacy education is Sun's father's responsibility. Sun's mother doesn't have the energy to say anything more. She is afraid that once she sees Sun Lin's current appearance, she will soften her heart and let him go, so she can only delegate Sun's father to do it from a distance.
Sun Ye had no idea what was happening in the Sun family. She continued to attend classes and write papers as usual, and went to the laboratory to see her trees on Sundays.
The money in her hand was getting more and more. Sun Ye counted them one by one. Excluding the fifteen yuan at the beginning, she still had twelve yuan, a total of twenty-seven yuan, which was a huge fortune for her.
Coming home every night and counting in bed has become my greatest pleasure nowadays.
In two or three days, the institute will pay out salaries, and she will have another fortune. The thought of it makes her happy.
She took out a pen and paper. It was time to report home that she was safe and send seven or eight dollars back home. Although it wasn't much, she was sure that Sun's mother and the others would be happy to find a way for her to make money.
School will be on vacation in two months. She misses home and really hopes time will pass faster.
