Chapter 22: The screams were getting louder and louder



On the way back, Mai Sui wanted to ride a bike.

Because Mai Hongcai's skills are not as good as Mai Laosan's, he rides a little slowly.

Mai Sui thought he was useless, so he just did it himself.

Mai Hongcai expressed doubt: "Sister, can you ride it?"

"It's so simple, anyone with hands can do it!"

"This is my uncle's bicycle, please don't break it." Mai Hongcai resisted weakly.

"Stop talking nonsense! Here you go!"

Mai Sui snatched the bicycle away in a tough manner, and Mai Hongcai dared not say anything.

In the past, Mai Sui had a poor brain and naturally couldn’t ride a bicycle.

The current Mai Sui has never ridden such a low-end means of transportation.

But when he saw Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai riding, it seemed very simple.

When she rode it herself, she found it was really simple!

Except for being a little unstable at the beginning, Mai Sui rode much better than Mai Hongcai later on.

Are you kidding me? She can drive airplanes, tanks and heavy armored vehicles, but she can’t handle a small bicycle?

As a result, Mai Sui rode the distance which originally took more than three hours in less than two hours.

This was because it was her first time riding and she had no experience, otherwise she could have been even faster!

Mai Hongcai was sitting in the back seat, almost pissing himself with fear, and could only hold on to the wheat ear tightly.

Otherwise he was afraid that he would be thrown away if he was not careful, especially when turning.

The wheat ears didn't slow down at all, they just kept rushing forward.

He sat in the back and was almost scared to death.

Fortunately, I got home safely.

The villagers who were working in the fields were still wondering: "Did something just pass by?"

"Are you confused from working? Where is the thing?"

"Old Wang, you're not going to get a heat stroke, are you? Why don't you go and rest for a while?"

“….”

As soon as the six o'clock bell rang, Mai Laosan couldn't wait to return his tools, and then met Mai Hongcai at the scorer's place.

Mai Lao San was surprised: "Hongcai, when did you come back? Why didn't I see you enter the village?"

"I've been back for several hours, and my sister asked me to come over to ask if you worked hard today.

If you don’t get ten work points, you won’t be allowed to eat tonight! "

"You little bastard, you're still meddling in your father's affairs!" Mai Laosan kicked Mai Hongcai in annoyance.

Mai Hongcai was not convinced: "Who told you to give my roast goose to that girl Mai Lin? If you dare to hit me again, I will tell my sister!"

Upon hearing this, Mai Lao San was immediately furious: "You've grown wings, haven't you? You actually dare to use wheat ears to pressure me!

If I can’t do anything to your sister, can I still do something to you?

I will let you see today who is the father and who is the son!"

After saying that, Mai Lao San raised his hand to teach his son a lesson.

Mai Hongcai shouted as he ran away, "Dad, don't think I don't know that you only got eight work points today. I just found out.

You are just hiding your guilt. Even if you beat me to death, I will tell my sister!"

When Mai Lao San saw that this trick didn't work, he immediately changed his expression and said with a smile:

"Hongcai, we are father and son. Have you forgotten that Dad made dumplings for you last night?

As for the roast goose, Dad originally planned to buy half one for you, but when I went there, the roast goose had been sold out.

Don’t worry, Dad will remember to buy it for you when we go to city tomorrow. I won’t buy half one this time. I’ll just buy one whole so you can enjoy it to your heart’s content!

Hongcai, last time you ate spicy diced rabbit, you didn't leave any for Dad, and Dad didn't blame you. You can't be so petty, right?"

Mai Hongcai thought about it and felt that this was true. At least his father was still thinking about him when he went to the city, but Mai Lin just snatched him away.

When Mai Lao San saw his son's expression relax, he immediately climbed up the pole and whispered:

"Hongcai, Dad worked really hard today, but the speed is really a bit slow.

How about this, you tell your sister that dad took ten centimeters today, your sister won't check anyway, okay?"

Mai Hongcai sobered up instantly after hearing this and immediately replied, "No! If my sister finds out that I lied to her, she will beat me to death."

"If you don't tell me and I don't tell her, how will she know? At worst, Dad can go to the city tomorrow and buy you another pair of shoes."

"Oh, Dad, I forgot to tell you that you don't have to go into the city tomorrow. My sister and I met Lao Ding in the city today..."

Immediately afterwards, Mai Hongcai pulled Mai Laosan to an empty corner and told him everything that had happened today.

Hearing this, Mai Lao San instantly became nervous and touched Mai Hongcai's arms and legs: "Hongcai, you weren't beaten, were you?"

Mai Hongcai smiled proudly: "I didn't even do anything, and I took care of Lao Ding and the other three all by myself.

Dad, you didn’t see it. I was so awesome today that Old Ding wanted to kneel down to me.

He also treated my sister and me to some ice cream, the kind that cost 50 cents a stick, and it was delicious.”

Mai Hongcai is a typical person who only remembers to eat and not to be beaten. He is now completely convinced by Mai Sui and no longer has any thoughts of resistance or disobedience.

So, as soon as he got home, he told Mai Lao San that he only got eight work points that day.

He also confessed to Mai Lao San's attempt to "bribe" him.

Mai Lao San: .....You are truly my biological son!

Mai Sui picked up a fire stick next to him and gave Mai Lao San a gentle smile.

"Mai Lao San, it seems that you are really itching for trouble."

In the midsummer of July, Mai Laosan stood in his own yard and felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Immediately afterwards, the painful roar of Mai Lao San was heard from the Mai family courtyard.

Mai Hongcai couldn't bear it, so he could only close the gate, sit on the steps outside, and mourn for his father in his heart.

Dad, don’t blame me. The great man said that we should be an honest person.

It turns out that the great man's words make sense.

Otherwise, both of them would be beaten together.

Mai Xiangdong, Mai Xiangnan, Mai Juncai and Mai Liangcai came over to ask about Mai Sui's trip to the city today.

As a result, they saw Mai Hongcai sitting alone on the steps at the door, and Mai Laosan's screams reached their ears through the closed courtyard gate.

Mai Xiangdong and the other four: ...

"Is Mai Sui sick again?"

Mai Hongcai pursed his lips and finally said, "Uncle, second uncle, first cousin, second cousin, I'm afraid it's not convenient now. How about sitting down for a while and going in later?"

Mai Xiangdong had witnessed Mai Sui beating someone with his own eyes, and he couldn't stop him at all, so he sat down with Mai Hongcai.

Mai Xiangnan, Mai Juncai, and Mai Liangcai had never seen such a thing before. Hearing the screams of Mai Laosan, the three of them could not just stand by and watch.

Moreover, they just didn't believe that a little girl like Mai Sui could be a match for a group of grown men like them!

"Brother, the third brother is screaming too miserably. I really can't stand it anymore. How can you sit still?" Mai Xiangnan spoke in a somewhat aggressive tone.

"Dad, you really don't care?" Mai Juncai looked at Mai Xiangdong in surprise.

Wasn’t his father always the most enthusiastic? How could he just watch his uncle get beaten and do nothing?

Although Mai Liangcai didn't say anything, he stood behind Mai Juncai and it was obvious that he shared the same stance as his brother.

Mai Xiangdong took a puff of his pipe and said unhappily, "You three are so good, then go in and try to pull the wheat ears apart. I don't have the ability to do that anyway."

Mai Hongcai: “Neither do I.”

"Okay! If you don't care, I'll take care of it!"

After Mai Xiangnan finished speaking, he rushed in with his two nephews Mai Juncai and Mai Liangcai.

then.....

A one-man show turned into a carnival for four people.

The screams were one louder than the other, and the neighbors came running with their bowls in hand to watch the fun.

Then he was driven away by Mai Xiangdong.

Mai Hongcai sighed: "Alas, it was almost over, but now I'm afraid it will have to be extended for another half an hour."
