"Zhao Laosan! You can do whatever you want in the village. Whether someone is crippled or dead, it has nothing to do with the Li family! But you had to bully my sister. Today, even if I dig you up with a hoe, it's your own fault!"
Li Lao Er pretended to raise his hoe to strike Zhao Lao San on the head. Zhao Lao San was so frightened that cold sweat poured down his back. He quickly dodged to the side using his superb dodging skills.
While dodging, she kept yelling with a pained expression, "This really has nothing to do with me! Sister Li, say something! Your second brother really wants me dead!"
Li's sister was currently immersed in her sadness and embarrassment, unable to extricate herself, and had no time to spare for the people making a ruckus in the yard.
At this moment, Li's daughter was hiding in her room, sobbing uncontrollably under the covers. Her double eyelids were gone from crying, and her big eyes were swollen, almost turning into purple walnuts.
Li Lao Er was incredibly hot-tempered. He failed to harm Zhao Lao San even slightly in three consecutive attempts. No wonder everyone said that this kid was always stealing chickens and dogs. With his skills, it would be a waste for him not to do this kind of work.
After pausing to catch his breath for a while, Li Lao Er angrily waved his hand.
"Brothers, let's attack together! I refuse to believe that bastard Zhao Laosan can escape!"
The third brother, Zhao Jianhua, stared wide-eyed, his lips trembling uncontrollably.
Fortunately, his second brother, Zhao Jianjun, arrived in time and stopped everyone at the door.
"Stop it! Do you want to kill someone?"
Li Lao Er was so angry that he cursed loudly, "Which bastard came to my house to cause trouble!"
The moment their eyes met, her anger flared even more.
Okay, okay.
Another bastard has arrived!
If it weren't for him, my sister wouldn't have wasted so many years at home, almost turning into an old maid!
But Zhao Lao Er actually offered himself up to protect his good-for-nothing third brother who only knew how to be a hooligan!
Zhao Laosan was so angry he felt like his heart was about to be trampled flat.
I finally did a good deed, and then this happened.
It's better to just continue being a thug and rob wherever he goes!
At least being a thug means you can bully others and have money to spend. It's better than being a good person who just stands by and waits to die!
The girl from the Li family inside the house finally reacted; her eyelids trembled slightly, and she cried even louder.
The Li brothers' faces darkened even more.
"Good, good, good! It seems that it wasn't just Zhao Laosan who bullied my sister, but you, Zhao Laoer, too! Do you Zhao family really think our Li family is all dead? Two brothers ganging up on a girl!"
Now it wasn't just Zhao Laosan who was upset; even Zhao Laoer felt like a herd of grass mud horses were galloping and trampling him in his heart.
This level of unreasonableness is even greater than that of the Zhao family.
I have really broadened my horizons!
Fortunately, Li's daughter still had some conscience. Finally, under her mother's loving embrace and coaxing, she sobbed and told the truth.
"I'm so glad I came back safely without being seen by the villagers... I have to thank Brother Zhao the Third..."
She knew how many embarrassing stares she had avoided on her way back by relying on Zhao Laosan, a man even dogs would find unlucky.
If Zhao Laosan hadn't struck up a conversation with someone first, causing the other person to take a detour, her miserable state would probably have been seen by others long ago, and the whole village would probably be buzzing about it by now.
The old lady of the Li family was completely stunned at this moment.
Did Zhao Laosan save her daughter?
I must be getting old; my hearing isn't what it used to be. I must have misheard.
Li's daughter, shivering, slowly pulled a piece of clothing from under the covers and threw it into her elderly mother's hands.
"Mother, please send the clothes out and thank Third Brother Zhao for me."
Li's sister didn't appreciate Zhao Lao Er's kindness at all. If it weren't for his wife, how could she have been beaten like this?
But she sensed everything Zhao Laosan had done along the way, and even began to change her opinion of him.
Was Zhao Laosan really the good-for-nothing village loafer that his parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law saw him as?
She's been stripped bare like that, so why doesn't Zhao Laosan even look at her exposed thighs?
Li's daughter believes she has good skin and fair complexion, so much so that not only men, but even the older women who go to the bathhouse with her can't take their eyes off her.
But Zhao Laosan didn't even glance at him the whole way.
The key point is that Zhao Laosan was able to protect her and soothe the child at the same time. Despite the commotion in his own yard, the child in his arms was still sleeping soundly.
Thinking about it, she suddenly felt that the third son of the Zhao family seemed like a decent person.
...
Since houses in that era were generally not soundproof, and the Li family sister did not deliberately lower her voice, the Li brothers outside could hear her clearly.
When their eyes swept towards Zhao Laosan, they were as shocked as if they had seen a ghost.
Are they dreaming? Did that bastard Zhao Laosan really save their sister?
I could never dream of something this outrageous!
However, at this moment, Zhao Laosan felt as if he had finally come back to life. His disheveled hiding appearance disappeared instantly, replaced by an extremely smug look.
"Li Lao Er, are you trying to dig me to death? Come on! Dig right here!"
Zhao Laosan stretched out his neck and pointed to the top of his head with one finger.
Then, the voice of the Li family's sister came again, faintly.
"The one who bullied me, though not him, is also a member of the Zhao family."
Zhao Laosan's fingers retracted very nimbly, and his neck also retracted at top speed, almost causing him to slip and fall.
Zhao Laosan cursed inwardly: "That girl from the Li family is a real oddball! She speaks with such heavy breathing that it could suffocate a person."
Li Lao Er snorted coldly and squinted at Zhao Lao San.
"Didn't you tell me to dig at your head? Stick your head out so I can dig at it?"
Zhao Laosan was shocked.
Do you want to hear what kind of nonsense you're spouting?!
It's amazing.
This is too much!
However, Li Lao Er did not keep his gaze on Zhao Lao San for long before turning his attention back to Zhao Lao Er.
"If the person who bullied my sister wasn't your third son, then it must have been you."
Although Li Lao Er went home after work, he knew that Zhao Lao Si and his wife were helping out at home, while the eldest couple were busy making clothes and greeting guests at the gate.
The youngest son of the Zhao family hasn't returned from town. It can't be that old man Zhao Youcai bullied his sister like that, can it?
Zhao Lao Er didn't say anything, after all, it made no difference whether his wife bullied him or not.
Seeing that Zhao Lao Er remained silent, the Li family members immediately understood.
Good, good, good!
It really was that bastard Zhao Lao Er!
Since he didn't even consider his own sister when looking for a partner before getting married, why did he bother to find someone from another village, get married, have children, and then come to provoke his sister!
The Li family's daughter isn't unable to get married; she just hasn't met the right person. It's not like she absolutely needs Zhao Lao Er! Why treat people like this!
Just as Li Lao Er swung his hoe again, Li's sister started panting heavily again.
