Hearing Granny Gu's rant, Song Zhenping, who was already furious, was about to explode: he had messed up and angered his stepmother. His second uncle would beat him to death and his younger brother to death!
Summoning courage from who-knows-where, Song Zhangping gripped Granny Gu's neck tightly with both hands and roared, "Come on, fight! We'll die together! If you kill my brother, I'll kill you! I'll drag your whole family down with me!"
Old Mrs. Gu was lifted off the ground by him, and could only cry out in pain, "He's killing someone! The cripple is going to kill someone!"
Upon hearing the shouts, Song Lao Er, barefoot and wearing slippers, rushed out from the main room.
Just then, Song Zhangping grabbed Old Gu by the collar and slammed her against the woodpile, shouting as he did so, "Let's all die together!"
Song Lao Er was anxious. He didn't know what had gotten into Song Zhenping, that he was behaving so strangely today.
Seeing his mother screaming and crying, Song Lao Er rushed forward and kicked Song Zhenping in the waist, shouting, "Let go, you unfilial beast!"
He came on fiercely, and that kick was delivered with all his might. If it had landed squarely, Song Zhenping's skinny body definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
In the blink of an eye, the lock on the side room door, which had been locked from the inside, was suddenly broken, and a large object flew out of the room, landing squarely on Song Zhenping's waist. Song Lao Er's kick also struck the shadowy figure...
Huh? What is that?
It was square and a little soft. Song Lao Er's kick suddenly lost its power, and he lost his balance, staggering a few steps to the side and almost straining his back.
Song Lao Er was a man in his prime, covered in fat, and that kick was really powerful.
Even through the quilt, Song Zhangping, exhausted and hungry, still couldn't stay calm.
He staggered a few steps and fell headfirst into the woodpile, where a dark, mushy cotton quilt covered his head.
Granny Gu, who was originally in his hands, naturally slipped out of his grasp.
Old Mrs. Gu, having escaped her predicament, was both shocked and terrified. She scrambled and rolled to the side, shouting, "Kill him! Kill him! Kill this wolf cub!"
As Song Zhangping grew older, Granny Gu did indeed feel that she could no longer control him.
Just like today, because I hit the jinx, it dared to fight me. Sometimes I really feel like I raised a wolf cub.
Seeing that her mother-in-law had let go, Madam Gu came out of the kitchen, carrying a fire poker and shouting, "You eat at my house and live in my house, and you've raised two ungrateful wretches! Mother, where are you hurt?"
Amidst the shouts of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Song Lao Er regained his bearings and lunged at Song Zhangping, who had fallen into the woodpile.
He roared, "I don't believe you little brat have a rebellious streak. I'm going to teach this wretched creature a lesson."
Song Zhangping fell into the woodpile and couldn't get up for a while.
Thinking of the beatings he would receive from his second uncle and the sticks from Gu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law every time he resisted, he instinctively covered his head and face with his hands, waiting for the pain to come.
He just hoped that after he had suffered the consequences, he would stop beating his underlings.
Time passed slowly, and Song Zhangping did not receive the expected punch. Instead, he heard a soft female voice in the courtyard: "Second Uncle, talk things out. You can't hit people!"
The voice was unfamiliar.
Song Zhangping struggled to raise his hand, pulled back the covers, and saw the person who had spoken. His pupils dilated instantly…
At this moment, the last rays of sunlight shone through the top of the gate into the courtyard.
Song Lao Er stood in the middle of the courtyard holding a cowhide rope. Granny Gu and Little Gu Shi stepped back and were stomping their feet and waving their hands, crying and making a fuss.
The courtyard was in complete chaos, but Song Zhangping couldn't hear anything. He could only see the back of the man confronting his second uncle.
Wearing a short blue skirt and a slender waist, the woman appeared frail and delicate in front of her robust second uncle.
However, his straight back and his hair tied up high like a man's, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, gave him a sense of solidity and stability like a mountain, which made me feel inexplicably at ease.
As if sensing his gaze, the woman turned her head, and their eyes met.
Her thin, dark eyebrows made her eye sockets appear somewhat deep, and her slightly light-colored eyes inadvertently revealed a natural and pure innocence.
The unfamiliar face and familiar features instantly reminded Song Zhangping of someone.
His mind went blank for a moment.
Although she has grown taller and her appearance has changed, her eyebrows and eyes are still the same as before, and she is still the little girl who follows behind him and calls him "brother".
Second sister!
It's my second sister!
Second sister is back!
Although Xiaoshi Village and the county town are only fifty miles apart, one was confined to the backyard of the restaurant, and the other was restricted to the village. They had not seen each other for ten years.
How have you been all these years? Have you been beaten or scolded? He had so many questions he wanted to ask.
"You...you're the second sister?"
The surprise on Song Zhangping's face lasted only a moment before turning into extreme anxiety.
He then recalled what he had heard from his second aunt a few days earlier.
No...this can't be done!
Song Zhangping staggered to his feet and roared at Song Liyun, "Who asked you to come back? Go away, go away!"
Song Liyun: "...?"
Song Liyun had already imagined many scenarios in her mind about what the siblings' reaction would be upon meeting.
Scene 1: Brother, I miss you so much! (Then they hug each other and cry!)
Scene 2: They happily call out each other's names and talk about their lives after parting.
Scene 3: The three siblings meet, and the ten-year-old younger brother jumps around excitedly calling out to his older sister.
Song Liyun was stunned, never expecting that the first sentence would be like this, and that the scene would be like this!
Song Zhangping was so excited that his body trembled, his eyes were bloodshot, and even his face became distorted and ferocious.
Seeing that his second sister was only looking at him without moving, Song Zhangping rushed over, grabbed her arm, and pushed her out of the courtyard: "Go, go!"
