Chapter 47
When the two came out of Zhong Ji, Zhong Laosan was still sighing that after many years, his second sister-in-law was finally pregnant again. Thinking of this, he thought of his own bumpy road of blind dates and sighed.
As they walked, Zhong Laosan suddenly felt that this road didn't seem to be the way back to the village: "Brother Dongzhi, where are we going? Is there anything else you haven't bought?"
"No, I'll go find someone." Chen Dongzhi said concisely.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhong Laosan could only follow him. Along the way, he heard Chen Dongzhi asking about a family with the surname Ma. The clothes, appearance and way of speaking he mentioned sounded more and more familiar to Zhong Laosan. Aren't they the mother and son who just came to the store to cause trouble? What is Brother Dongzhi doing?
When Chen Dongzhi found out where to go, Zhong Laosan couldn't help but said, "Brother Dongzhi, are you asking about the whereabouts of those two people to avenge my little sister?"
Seeing that Chen Dongzhi nodded without saying anything and just walked in the direction the passerby said, Zhong Laosan felt that Brother Dongzhi was too loyal. He valued their brotherhood so much that he even wanted to avenge his sister when she was bullied.
As for him, as the younger sister's biological brother, he had no intention of seeking justice or revenge for his younger sister at all, which made Zhong Laosan feel ashamed.
Suddenly, Chen Dongzhi pulled him over and pointed at the two people in front of him. Zhong Laosan looked carefully and found that they were the mother and son.
The two of them were seen walking and cursing, with Ma's mouth full of obscene words, calling her all kinds of sluts and bitches.
Her son even threatened to teach her a lesson if he saw her next time. It seemed that the lesson these two had received was not impressive enough for them.
Chen Dongzhi's eyes turned cold. He looked at Zhong Laosan who was trying hard to suppress his anger and chose to continue following them. When the two of them walked into a small alley, they were tripped by a bunch of sacks.
The two men were even angrier now. They bent over, pulled the sack apart and kicked it away. "It's all that bitch's fault. What a lowly bastard!"
As he was cursing, a sack suddenly fell from the sky and landed on his head. Then came the pain of fists hitting his body. Ma's son fell to the ground in pain, and as a result, someone rode on him and punched and kicked him vigorously.
After Chen Dongzhi made his move, Zhong Laosan also followed, put a sack on him and started beating him up.
He didn't care that Ma was a woman, or a woman who was not much older than his mother. As long as she bullied his younger sister, he would beat her regardless of whether she was a man or a woman.
After all, Ma was old, and Zhong Laosan hit her without mercy. After a while, Ma was crying out in pain, saying, "Please let me go, good man. We are an orphan and a widow, and we don't have much money."
Zhong Laosan said in a hoarse voice: "If you don't have money, we will beat your son to death! We will make you lose your son in your old age. If you don't want your son to be beaten to death by us, then hand over the money!"
Ma was shaking with pain, but was afraid that the two robbers would really beat her son to death, so she could only reach for her purse with trembling hands. She finally found it while enduring the pain and handed it to him, but the man took it and said it was too little.
Ma's heart was bleeding, her body was in pain, and her heart was in pain. She trembled and said, "My dear, all my money is here, and it's gone! Please let me go!"
"It seems that you don't want your son's life anymore. Well, I can only satisfy you."
Just at this moment, Ma's son let out a shrill scream. Ma was so scared that she thought they were really going to kill her son. She quickly said, "No, no, no, my son has a purse on him, and I have a gold bracelet here." As she said that, she took off the gold bracelet on her hand.
Zhong Lao San weighed the gold bracelet and said in a rough voice: "If you dare to tell others about what happened today and we find out, then you should tell your son not to go out. Otherwise, hmph!"
Chen Dongzhi threw the money bag he had searched from Ma's son to Zhong Laosan. The purpose of the two asking for money was to create an atmosphere of robbery so that they would not know that they were beaten today because of the trouble they caused today.
Chen Dongzhi picked up Ma's son, who had been beaten half to death, and knocked him unconscious with a clever move. Ma didn't hear her son's voice, and was panicking. She was about to call her son, but was knocked unconscious by Chen Dongzhi with the same move.
The two men casually spread the sacks on the Ma mother and son. Although this place was deep in the alley, there were people living there. Chen Dongzhi didn't want them to be discovered so quickly. It was December now and the temperature was relatively low in the morning and evening, but it was not freezing enough. Let them have a good sleep here!
The two of them quickly left the alley and headed towards the village. After they had dealt with Ma's mother and son, it was already getting late, so they had to speed up.
On the way, Chen Dongzhi took out the forty taels of silver he got from selling the deer today and gave half of it to Zhong Laosan. When Zhong Laosan saw that he had so much, he refused to take it, saying that he could never catch this deer without him, and he refused to take it no matter what.
"If you don't accept it, I won't take you hunting anymore." Chen Dongzhi looked straight ahead.
"Ah, why? Brother Dongzhi, you really don't have to do this. You hunted the deer with great effort, and you want to give me half of the money. If my parents knew about this, I would be beaten to death." Zhong Laosan curled his lips. He thought that Brother Dongzhi was too sentimental. He hunted the mother and son for him today, and he even gave him half of the money from selling the deer.
"It's okay, just take it. We brothers shouldn't say such polite things."
Zhong Laosan was unwilling, so Chen Dongzhi had no choice but to take out two taels. He got twenty-two taels and Zhong Laosan got eighteen taels.
But Zhong Laosan was still unwilling and kept saying that he had taken advantage of him. Finally, he said, "If you don't accept it, I will never take you to the mountains to hunt again." Only then did he calm Zhong Laosan down.
When the two of them rushed back to the village, everyone at home had eaten. Chen's mother took out the food she had specially reserved for her son. It had been kept warm in the pot and was still hot when she took it out. She asked her son to eat quickly.
At the Zhong family, the third son, Zhong, sat alone at the dinner table, speaking a few words from time to time. When they heard that their second daughter-in-law was pregnant, Mr. and Mrs. Zhong were extremely happy, and Mother Zhong thanked the Buddha repeatedly.
The eldest sister-in-law was also very happy. The two of them had a good relationship. She had always known that the child was Yu Niang's concern. Now that she was finally pregnant again, it finally resolved Yu Niang's concern for many years.
They chatted and laughed for a while, and Zhong Laosan also told what happened in the store today.
"What?" Zhong's mother stood up angrily. "Are those two crazy? How dare they associate with my daughter like this?" She was so angry that she stood up and turned around a few times.
Mr. Zhong was sitting nearby, and his joy at his second daughter-in-law's pregnancy was immediately diluted by a few words his youngest son said later.
The eldest sister-in-law said, "Mother, why don't you go to the town to help, so that no one will come to provoke my younger sister. How can she, a girl, bear this injustice?"
Seeing her mother-in-law looking at her, she quickly continued, "Anyway, the family is not busy now. The children, except Tiedan, are still young and can take care of themselves. I am still responsible for the household affairs. Yu Niang is pregnant now, so my second brother and younger sister will definitely be too busy to handle it."
Mother Zhong thought for a while and said, "Let me think about this again. If I go, the burden of the family will all fall on you. I have to think about it."
