Chapter 1587 The Reason Is Too Good
Lin Guangming screwed the bottle cap back on after unscrewing it, then looked at the four brothers warily.
"What are you doing?"
Ye Chengjiang sat up in bed. "We got beaten up really badly today..."
Ye Chenghu stood by the door and casually locked it. "We've lost more than half a month's wages!"
"What does that have to do with me? I didn't ask you to go; you wanted to go yourselves!"
Lin Guangming saw this and sensed something was wrong; the other side outnumbered them...
Ye Chenghe sat on the edge of the bed and glared at him. "You said my grandfather gets massages and he doesn't like the noise! I remember it all, you said it all."
Ye Chengyang chimed in, "Yes, that's right. Neither my brother nor I knew about this before. It was you who told us, so we found out, and then the rest of the story unfolded."
Lin Guangming quickly retorted, "It was clearly Ajiang who said it; I was just repeating what he said."
Ye Chengjiang retorted, "Nonsense! They said if we want to go singing and dancing, we have to ask Third Uncle to pay. I said, why not ask my Grandpa? Then you said if we ask my Grandpa, we have to go for a massage because he doesn't like noise! You're the one who said all that. What did I say? I didn't say anything!"
"Well, I was just saying it in the heat of the moment..."
"So it was you who said it! You started it all, you're the real culprit!" Ye Chengjiang said as he slowly approached him.
Lin Guangming cautiously retreated slowly, "Then I'll say what I want to say. You already know, who told you to go and ask for hush money? It wasn't me who told you to go."
Ye Chengyang also stepped closer, "If you hadn't started this, I wouldn't have given you such a bad idea!"
"Damn it, you guys got beaten up, so you need to find a punching bag!"
Ye Chenghe also walked closer to him, saying, "Of course we should share the burden when we make mistakes. We all did, but you didn't. That's not fair."
"that is!"
"Our legs were all whipped until they were as wide as ribbonfish..."
"Why are you completely unharmed...?"
The four brothers drew closer and closer as they talked, and Lin Guangming's alarm bells rang, sensing that he was in grave danger.
He quickly smiled apologetically, "Why are you taking it so seriously? We're all brothers, we're all on the same side..."
That's why we should share hardships!
"Awen, please help me!"
Lin Guangming shouted and, taking advantage of their turning heads, grabbed the bed sheet next to him and covered their heads with it.
Then he rushed to the door, opened it, slammed it shut, and ran wildly down the corridor and down the stairs.
He also shouted as he ran, "Who's going to share your troubles? I'm not surnamed Ye. You deserve to be beaten."
The four brothers were tricked; they were completely covered by the bed sheet and missed the best opportunity to catch the culprit.
"Holy crap, he got away."
"He got away! How despicable!"
"Ouch, it hurts so much! I've already run away, hurry up and put some tea oil on my legs..." Ye Chenghu felt a burning pain in both legs.
"The tea oil is in my brother's hands right now," Lin Guangwen said slowly, having watched the whole thing unfold.
"What? Did he run away with it? It hurts so much! I didn't feel it just now, but now it feels like it's burning."
"Definitely not, he can swing the sheets around with both hands. Quickly find where he put them." Ye Chenghu scanned the room.
"I should have caught him right after I applied the tea oil, then he wouldn't have been able to escape."
"At this!"
Ye Chengyang saw it on the bed; he must have thrown the tea oil away casually when he grabbed the sheets.
"Quickly, apply some ointment to it for me, it hurts so much..."
Ye Chenghu grinned and limped toward Ye Chengyang.
The other two quickly found a bedside to sit down and rest.
The four wounded soldiers were no longer the troublemakers they had been looking for; they were all groaning and crying out in pain.
Lin Guangwen found their expressions extremely amusing. "I don't think my brother should have run away. If he hadn't, he could have easily caught you all with a broom when the bedsheet was over your heads."
Ye Chengjiang rolled his eyes at him, "Why are you telling the truth?"
"That seems to be true," Ye Chenghe thought, feeling a bit scared. "Luckily he ran away, otherwise we would be even more injured now."
Ye Chenghu: "Indeed, he's limping and can't move at all. Even the slightest movement is excruciatingly painful. If the sheet hadn't been covering his head, he probably wouldn't have been able to beat him."
Ye Chengyang patted his chest. "Then why were you guys so brave just now? With my skinny arms and legs, how could I dare to go up without you guys supporting me? Luckily, my cousin ran away."
"I'll go and call him back."
As soon as Lin Guangwen stood up, several legs immediately blocked his way.
But those legs were all adorned with red ribbons, making them look so unsettling that it took your breath away.
"My uncle really went too far..."
Ye Chengjiang said, "Can you bear to make our injuries worse?"
“When your second uncle comes back, you’ll definitely be even more injured,” Ye Chenghu said, applying tea oil to his own wounds before adding salt to his brother’s.
"Stop talking. Just saying that makes me worry. I'll at least wait until he comes back before I start to worry."
"I'm leaving tomorrow, it's a pity I won't be able to see it."
Ye Chengjiang clenched his fist and gestured towards the air, "I can make sure you can't leave tomorrow."
"I'm not going to say anything more. I need to write the guarantee letter right away. If it's not up to standard, I'll still have time to revise it this afternoon and evening."
Ye Chengyang chimed in, "Hurry up and write it. We must go home tomorrow. Dad was too harsh. I miss Mom."
The two brothers tearfully found a notebook and then lay down on the bed to write.
The other two kept fanning their legs to ease the pain, and a sense of melancholy crept into their hearts. If their father came back… they wanted to go home too…
Father Ye sat by the door, looking refreshed, smoking his water pipe and tapping the tobacco.
The matter was resolved without costing a penny or requiring any effort, and it also taught the others a lesson, so they would know better in the future.
When Ye Yaodong went to work in the afternoon, he received their honestly submitted self-criticisms, along with their freshly received wages from the previous day.
When the two came to his office, they even changed into long pants.
"You all know you can't afford to lose face, so you at least know to wear long pants to cover it up?"
"father……"
"Get lost. I'll contact you later if there are any problems. If there aren't, pack your bags and we'll leave first thing tomorrow morning."
"Okay."
Ye Yaodong glanced at their legs again, "Do you know how to explain this to your mother when we get back?"
Ye Chenghu said with a wronged expression, "We just said you were wasting money and spent all my salary in one go, that's why you hit me."
“Very good, the reasons are sufficient. You can find reasons for yourself now. This money was well spent, and you have ready-made reasons.”
Ye Yaodong held the money tucked inside his self-criticism, quite satisfied.
"Then we'll be going, we won't disturb you while you're working, Dad."
"Go."
The reasons are good and sufficient, but they are just too good.
After the two brothers returned home safely, the mother and her two sons had only been affectionate for a few minutes when Lin Xiuqing noticed the injury on her leg.
The two brought out their pre-arranged excuse, but before they could even sit down, they got beaten up again.
Lin Xiuqing was furious when she heard this. "Good riddance! You deserve to be beaten to death! More than 100 yuan in two months, and you squandered it all in one day?"
"I'll beat you two bastards to death! You don't value money at all. Is it too easy for you to earn it? You're so bold as to spend over 100 yuan at once?"
"You're so young, yet you dare to spend over 100 yuan in one go. In a few years, won't you spend over 1 or even 1 yuan in one go? Don't you just want to fly to the sky?"
"How can you spend money like this? No amount of savings is enough for you to squander. You're incredibly audacious. Don't you have any money in your pockets?"
The two brothers could only swallow their pain and blood, not daring to explain. They could only jump around the house, begging for mercy. Their old wounds hadn't healed before new ones were inflicted.
The old lady stopped helping them. They were spending over 100 yuan a day like that, and she felt bad for them. She was already being lenient by not hitting them with her cane.
Lin Xiuqing was initially heartbroken by their injuries, but now she only regretted not catching them so she could give them a couple more good whacks.
They were quite clever; they ran around the house for a while, leaving Lin Xiuqing breathless, before running upstairs and locking the door again.
"How dare they be so bold, treating money like it's nothing. They wouldn't dare spend a single penny at home, but after going out and having a little money, they're so careless..."
Lin Xiuqing was cursing downstairs.
The two of them hid behind the door, panting heavily, and then plopped down on the floor.
Ye Chengyang couldn't help but complain, "Brother, it was all your bad idea. You said you'd spend it all, and now we're really in even worse shape."
"There was no other way. What reason could Father have to hit us so hard? You know, Father has never hit us like this before."
"Can't we just say we only spent this month's money? We only submitted this month's amount anyway."
“I feel that spending this month’s money isn’t enough to make my father resort to such a cruel act. If he spent it all, then the reason would be very sufficient.”
"This is too much! When my mother heard this, she grabbed a stick too. It's so bad. The injuries on his body haven't even healed yet, and he got another beating as soon as he got back."
"Look on the bright side, we've secretly kept a month's salary on hand. If we had too much money, wouldn't Mother confiscate some of it?"
Ye Chenghu thought his idea was brilliant, killing two birds with one stone: he could get through his leg injury and secretly keep a month's salary for himself.
Ye Chengyang said irritably, "Mother won't confiscate it now. She lets us keep our own money as long as we don't spend it recklessly."
"Okay, anyway, we've already said it. I don't know if Ajiang and Chenghe got a second beating, but we got one."
"I'll call them after I finish dinner to check on them and let them know I'm safe."
"I'm so tired."
"I'm so tired too."
"I'm still so hungry."
"Forget it, let's go to sleep. We won't be hungry when we're asleep."
The two brothers, pitifully hungry, went to bed first, because they were too scared to go downstairs.
After two days on the ship, and then a bumpy car ride back, I couldn't eat or sleep well, and I was exhausted.
After scolding the child, Lin Xiuqing called Ye Yaodong first, not only to let him know she was safe, but also to verify their information and whether they had really spent all the money.
"Those two spendthrifts really spent all the money they earned in the past two months?"
"Yes, go back and give them a good talking-to, give them a beating to teach them a lesson. I already did beat them."
"They're really asking for it. I'll confiscate all their piggy banks later. They squander every penny they have. It's too easy for them to make money."
"Ah."
"I'll be driven crazy by them sooner or later. I thought that if I went up there to keep an eye on them, they would behave themselves and not run around outside in the sweltering heat. But I didn't expect that it would be better for them to run around outside. The more they follow me, the worse they become."
"Nonsense. They have been working diligently for the past two months. It's my fault for saying before that they can spend their own money as they please, and I don't care."
Ye Yaodong can only help cover it up now.
"They're hiding upstairs right now. Anyway, it's almost lunchtime, so I'll call them to eat later."
"Hmm, you can handle it and teach him a good lesson."
"understood."
The two brothers, Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang, were woken up groggily during dinner.
Throughout the meal, he was either scolded by Lin Xiuqing or Ye's mother, and then the old lady also joined in with a few words of criticism, while Ye's father also glared at them a few times as a warning.
The two of them were having a lot of internal monologues, muttering to themselves, "If Grandma knew what Grandpa usually does, she'd probably flip the table right now."
With all the firepower on, how can you even have time to criticize them?
How could they let Ye's father sit there calmly and eat while listening to the two brothers' criticism?
While the two brothers were being scolded, they secretly peeked at their father with their small eyes, and their father could only return their unfriendly gazes.
After quickly finishing their meal, the two of them slipped out to find their friends to brag to.
Ye's mother said to Ye's father, "Why were you two exchanging glances just now?"
"Where are you exchanging glances? Didn't you see I glared at them before they started peeking at me? The three of you took turns cursing, and I was the only one who didn't, so they had to look over here, hoping I'd be their savior."
"Well, they're not young anymore. No matter how rich the family is, they can't spend money like this, or they'll squander the family fortune sooner or later. Don't give them so much money before they get married."
The last sentence was addressed to Lin Xiuqing.
"I know, I was planning to confiscate their piggy banks after dinner to prevent them from squandering them. Over the years, I've let them keep all their New Year's money and red envelopes, and they've saved up quite a bit."
"That's good."
The two brothers went out and boasted for a while before coming back to take a shower. They hadn't noticed that their piggy bank was gone until they went to get money to buy snacks.
The old lady was devastated when she learned that Lin Xiuqing had taken the money and hidden it to prevent them from spending it recklessly.
The two brothers were instantly struck dumb.
They put all their money into their piggy banks before taking their afternoon nap.
"Aaaaaaah... my money..."
"When did Mother take it?" Ye Chengyang asked with a mournful face, tears welling up in his eyes.
His father had just confiscated this month's allowance, and his mother took it all, leaving them with not a single penny...
"Don't worry, your mother won't touch your money when you go out after dinner. She's just worried you'll spend it recklessly, so she's keeping your piggy bank for now. She'll return it to you later."
The two brothers swallowed their tears.
They were left with nothing.
It's too awful.
P.S.: I'll resume normal updates and make up for missed chapters when I get home tomorrow.
