"You're still talking!" Yang Donghu glared at Zhao Luochuan angrily, "Are you still addicted? If you run into that desperate person in the future, will you rush to the front too? What will I do if something happens to you? How can you be so selfish?"
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Fortunately, the person he met this time was a bully who was afraid of the strong and had no responsibility. If he had really met that tough guy, he might not have escaped unscathed.
Yang Donghu, usually gentle, suddenly snapped into a harsh tone, leaving Zhao Luochuan at a loss for words. Seeing that he had only added fuel to the fire, he regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself twice: "No, that's not what I meant. I'm not a talker. Don't get angry at yourself. Just hit me a couple of times to vent your anger, okay?"
As he said this, he grabbed Yang Donghu's hand and brought it towards himself.
Seeing him so bewildered, Yang Donghu's anger suddenly dissipated. He couldn't bear to actually fight him, but to vent his anger, he raised his hands and pretended to hit him twice. His expression was almost breaking. He reached out and pushed Zhao Luochuan's hand away, pretending to be indifferent and asking, "How is that man?"
Seeing he was still willing to talk to him, Zhao Luochuan breathed a sigh of relief. "I knew my limits. I only taught him a lesson and didn't do anything drastic. He's a coward and a serial killer. He was so scared after a few seconds that he almost revealed the location of his ancestors' graves. He can't cause any trouble. Our county magistrate is a good and open-minded official. He won't show mercy to people like him. There's no need to worry about him going to town to spread rumors. I'm grateful that I didn't report him to the government office for this dirty thing. He's a man who can't even hide from the police, so how could he dare approach the government office?"
There are people with bad consciences everywhere, and many of them have caused deaths and have been sent to the authorities with a complaint.
That bastard should be thankful that he didn't actually use his evil intentions on Zhao Fangchu, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as just a beating.
After hearing Zhao Luochuan's account of the entire incident, Yang Donghu was also filled with anger. "Just getting a beating was too easy for him. We should go to the government office and file a complaint. We should put that bastard behind bars. He deserved the beating, but he still dares to talk nonsense outside. We should tear his mouth apart so he can never talk nonsense again."
Zhao Luochuan took the opportunity to hug Yang Donghu again, pressing his body against his, his tone full of flattery: "Or we should say we have the same idea. You and Fang Chu are as close as one person. If I don't beat him up to vent my anger, you will feel bad too. But he just barked a few times, and even if he was taken to court, he would most likely just get a few slaps. It's better for me to do it myself."
"If I had known, I would have gone with him and given him a couple of good kicks to vent Fang Chu's anger."
Zhao Luochuan had been coaxing him with kind words for so long that the anger in Yang Donghu's heart had long since dissipated. Besides, he was more worried about Zhao Luochuan's safety than being angry, so his expression had already relaxed.
Zhao Luochuan was the one who was good at taking advantage of others. He could see that Yang Donghu had lost his temper, and the strength in his arms tightened a little.
Yang Donghu pretended to struggle twice, but seeing that Zhao Luochuan didn't let go, he half-heartedly gave in to Zhao Luochuan's wishes. At this moment, his tense spirit suddenly relaxed, and he was held tightly in Zhao Luochuan's arms, feeling weak all over. The sound of his heart beating strongly in his ears made him feel a little relieved.
"Don't lie to me or hide anything from me in the future. Otherwise, I won't know anything and will just stay at home and worry in vain. If, if anything happens to you, what will I do?"
Yang Donghu has received very little family love since he was a child, let alone love. Finally, there is someone who is willing to pamper him and cherish him. This feeling is so addictive that he is reluctant to extricate himself.
What's more, Yang Donghu has long regarded Zhao Luochuan as the most important person. Just like Zhao Luochuan, he naturally doesn't want to let such an important person suffer any harm.
Zhao Luochuan sensed the fragility of the person in his arms, lowered his head and gently kissed Yang Donghu's forehead, his voice firm but gentle: "I promise, this is the last time, I will never scare you again in the future."
"Yeah." Yang Donghu rubbed his cheek against Zhao Luochuan's chest and said in a muffled voice: "Did he go to the next yard? Auntie is also very worried about him."
Zhao Luochuan was worried that Yang Donghu would be worried, so he rushed back and didn't even have time to go to the next door. "Not yet. I'll go there later. Otherwise, Brother Fang Yu will be the only one to be scolded."
When Zhu Cuilan, the mother, heard that the two men had come to her house, she was extremely anxious. She couldn't help but scold Zhao Fangyu, saying that he didn't act like a brother and was fooling around with his younger brother.
Of course, she is not ungrateful. If it were not for the purpose of preventing the outside rumors from being spread on Zhao Fangchu, Zhao Luochuan would not have put himself in danger. Even Zhu Cuilan, a woman, knows this very well.
Zhao Luochuan and Zhao Fangyu grew up listening to scolding, and they would just smile and respond and get over it. Zhao Luochuan didn't take the words to heart, and Zhao Fangyu, as a son, didn't say a word more.
However, a fight was not all bad. At least there were fewer people gossiping outside, and the Zhao family had a good relationship with Zhu Cuilan. Many women who were familiar with Zhu Cuilan would come over from time to time to chat with her and relieve her boredom.
The one who came particularly diligently was Yun Qiao, who acted as a matchmaker for Fang Yu. Now his body was getting heavier and heavier. The old people said that they were afraid that the child would be too big and difficult to give birth to. They asked him to walk around more when he had nothing to do, so that when the day came for the birth, both the adults and the child would have more protection.
Yun Qiao was also a person who could not sit still. He visited neighbors everywhere to relieve his fatigue. When others talked about this lively atmosphere, he would go over to listen to a few words. Thinking that Zhu Cuilan did not go out and would not ask many questions, he took the opportunity to sit in the Zhao family yard for a whole afternoon and tell Zhu Cuilan the gossip he heard outside to cheer her up.
"Auntie doesn't like going outside recently, but she doesn't know that it's very lively outside."
Zhu Cuilan took out some leftover dried fruits from the New Year's holiday to treat Yun Qiao. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "Yes, I haven't been out much these past two days. It's unfortunate that I haven't been able to catch up with the excitement outside."
The topics of conversation after dinner these past two days were all about them and Li Guihua's family. Zhu Cuilan knew without thinking how unpleasant some of the things said were, but she was too lazy to inquire about it. It would only make her upset.
Yun Qiao grabbed a handful of salted melon seeds and held them in her palm. While she was eating, she didn't stop talking. "I know what's bothering Auntie. You don't have to take the unpleasant things people say to heart. Auntie and Uncle are both good people, and Fang Yu and Fang Chu were both well-educated. Can it be that just because of some gossip from outside, our children are no longer good children?"
These words touched Zhu Cuilan's heart. With their bodies half buried in the ground, it would have been fine if she didn't take the rumors to heart, but the children were too shy to take them seriously.
"Alas, I can't say it. This is what I've been worried about these past two days. Fang Yu's marriage has just been decided, and I'm afraid Lan Zhen's family will have opinions about Fang Yu after this incident. Moreover, Fang Chu hasn't decided on a girlfriend yet, and it has also implicated Dachuan and Donghu, who have been made to hear those dirty words. It's really, alas, it makes me angry just thinking about it." Zhu Cuilan said with a worried look on her face.
