"Let's take my older brother to the commune clinic first, and we can talk about the rest tomorrow."
Xu Zhiyin made up his mind. Xujia Village was far from the commune, and he knew he couldn't carry his older brother on his back by himself, so he called on Xu Zhitie to help.
"Sister-in-law, you should come with us too. Take your brother's change of clothes and some money."
Xu Xiaogang came out of the house. "Mom, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Lin Li was annoyed and slapped Xu Xiaogang hard on the back, "Your father is unconscious, and you heartless bastard are still fast asleep!"
"Xu Xiaogang, listen to me! It's all that slut next door's fault that your father got hurt. You must remember this grudge!"
Xu Xiaogang's eyes widened. "Mom, why are you going to cause trouble for her again?"
The memory of how several burly uncles went to cause trouble for those kids, only to be unilaterally and brutally beaten by the frail Chen Yunyun, is still fresh in everyone's mind.
Xu Xiaogang never expected that his mother would be so foolish as to pick a fight with Chen Yunyun.
"What do you mean I'm going to cause trouble for her? She's ruined your father's life, and you're still defending her? I'll beat you to death, you little brat!"
As she spoke, Lin Li searched the room for a suitable stick.
At this moment, a small but clear voice said, "You guys were the ones who didn't do this right in the first place."
Everyone was surprised; it turned out that it was Xiao Fubao speaking.
Grandma Liu had raised her eyebrows, ready to scold someone, but when she saw it was Xiao Fubao, she exclaimed, "Oh my goodness, don't let that woman next door fool you with just a few candies!"
“We’re family, shouldn’t we help our family when something happens? She’s an outsider, you little girl, you can’t side with outsiders.”
Little Fu Bao, who is usually well-behaved and sensible, held her head high and was very stubborn, saying, "Grandma, you're wrong."
"You were the ones who tried to push them down first, that's why you didn't do the right thing."
"Besides, Aunt Chen next door is a very nice person. You shouldn't talk badly about her behind her back. It's really not good."
Grandma Liu was utterly humiliated by being publicly reprimanded by a toddler. After listening carefully to Xiao Fubao's words, her face contorted in disgust.
Where did this little girl learn such twisted logic?
We're all family, who else can we help if we don't help our own family?
How could you say such a stupid thing in front of everyone?
Children don't have that many tricks up their sleeves; an adult must have said something to her.
Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Liu's sharp gaze turned to Kong Guihua.
Kong Guihua is the least sociable member of the family. She usually acts like a saint. A while ago, they took away her little gold coins, which made her hold a grudge. So she said these nonsense in front of Xiao Fubao!
Just as Old Mrs. Liu was about to start cursing, Xu Zhiyin quickly stopped her, "Alright, your brother is bleeding profusely, and you're still arguing here."
"Sister-in-law, stop hitting the child. Hurry up and pack your things. Quickly, Zhitie, come with me to take my brother to the commune. Hurry up."
It was dark outside, and the dew was heavy. Xu Zhitie was somewhat unhappy, but he didn't show it. He silently lit a torch and went outside.
Everyone had left, and the house was quiet now.
Grandma Liu lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
She couldn't understand how her eldest son could have fallen down.
And how did Chen Yunyun disappear from their sight? Did she know about their plan all along?
Could there be a traitor in the family? The old lady's mind wandered more and more. Thinking about what Xiao Fubao had said, she became even more convinced of her suspicions.
She rolled over and slammed her hand on the bedside table. "Kong Guihua, you get over here right now!"
