Chapter 83 Making a Scene
After much persuasion, the group finally managed to calm the third son's family down.
The third brother also had a bad temper; he hit and cursed at the same time.
"You damn bastard..."
"Third brother, don't kill him, or you'll have to pay with your own life. Just beat him half to death." His second brother pulled his younger brother back tightly, trying to prevent him from accidentally killing him.
There were also people around him trying to persuade him that it wasn't worth it for such a scumbag.
The third brother, enraged, threw down the carrying pole, spat on the ground, and pointed angrily at the two groaning figures on the ground:
"You wouldn't believe it, I was passing by my mother-in-law's house at noon when those two bastards fell into the ice while fishing and breaking the ice at Sandao Lake. I was the one who saved them, you damn ingrates..."
The third brother got angrier and angrier as he talked, and wanted to hit him again.
In the end, the village secretary intervened and had the militia take the two people away.
"Third brother, let's go back and see if anything else is missing."
After the Party Secretary spoke, the third brother kicked the child twice more before going back.
When the others saw that the Party Secretary was leading the militia to take Chu Er and the other man home, they also prepared to go home in twos and threes.
However, this matter will definitely spread throughout the whole village in a short time.
Dan Yaowen and his two companions were quite satisfied. Although they hadn't caught Chu Er, Chu Er had fared much worse than if they had caught him.
When I got home, my family had already finished eating and gone to bed.
After all, it was already dark when he started staking out people, and then he made a scene for so long afterwards.
Moreover, people at this time are generally very frugal. They won't turn on the lights even if they have them, and they usually go to bed early to save electricity.
"Damn, who locked the door?" Shan Yaowen pushed the door, but couldn't open it.
He could only walk to the side and knock on the door.
"Ah Nian, are you asleep?"
"Erguo~"
Shan Yaowen was surprised that it wasn't his wife who opened the door, but his younger sister.
And the younger sister ran out of his room.
"It's you?" Shan Yaowen asked in surprise, patting his little sister's head.
"Second sister-in-law can't sleep alone, so I'll keep her company. I always keep her company when you're not home, second brother."
Seeing his younger sister's "Isn't that amazing?" look, Shan Yaowen smiled and said, "Then I have to thank you."
He had heard Lin Nian mention this before. She was a little scared at home alone and couldn't sleep, so she asked her younger sister to sleep with her.
"You're back." Hearing the noise, Lin Nian got up and brought over the food she had left. "Eat quickly, it's still warm as I've been steaming it in the pot."
A bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables.
Shan Yaowen immediately sat down and began to eat heartily.
After pouring him a cup of hot tea, Lin Nian, wearing a cotton coat, prepared to get onto the kang (heated brick bed). "Why did you take so long?"
Although she knew where her man was going and he was carrying a gun, the possibility of something going wrong was not high.
But she was worried because he hadn't come back, and she couldn't even sleep well.
"We didn't catch anyone, but Chu Er got caught stealing sheep."
Shan Yaowen's first words made Lin Nian, who had just gotten onto the kang (heated brick bed), get down again and move a chair over to sit beside him: "What? Stealing sheep?"
"Did they really steal the sheep?"
The first sentence was spoken by Lin Nian, and the second sentence came from next door.
"Mom, you're still up?"
After hearing the voices from next door, Lin Nian couldn't help but ask.
A short while later, Shan Yaowen saw his mother wrapped in a coat walk over, followed by his father who was leaning on a cane.
"Tell me, how did Chu's second son end up stealing sheep? And how were they beaten after they were caught?"
Seeing his parents' gossipy expressions, Shan Yaowen was both amused and exasperated. "What are you two doing so late at night instead of sleeping?"
"You say what you want."
Regardless of how late it was, Mother Shan pulled up a stool and sat down in the room. "Tell me about it."
Shan Yaowen looked at his parents, who were already seated, shoveled down a couple of mouthfuls of rice, and then recounted everything that had happened that evening.
"Well done! Anyone who dares to steal a sheep deserves to have their hands broken." After hearing this, Father Shan immediately sided with the third son whose sheep had been stolen. "If it were me, even if the Party Secretary tried to stop me, it wouldn't have mattered. That Chu Er wouldn't have..."
Before Dad could finish speaking, Mom interrupted him with a disdainful look, "What can you do? With your attitude, you can only watch helplessly as someone steals your sheep right in front of you."
Upon hearing this, the father immediately became displeased.
"If anyone from the Chu family dares to do that, I'll burn their entire family to the ground if I don't do it."
Seeing that his parents were about to argue over a stranger, Shan Yaowen quickly stopped them, "Stop talking, don't you want to know what happens next?"
"Anything else?" Mother Shan immediately perked up upon hearing this.
The father stopped yelling about burning down the house and urged his son to continue.
"When the third brother went to his mother-in-law's house, he also saved Chu Lao Er and his sister from falling into the water. Chu Lao Er was rescued and chatted with the third brother, which is how he found out that the third brother wouldn't be coming home that night. So he decided to steal the third brother's sheep on a whim."
These were all things that the third brother said when he came back and scolded Chu Er.
At that moment, he kept regretting that he shouldn't have saved Chu Er, nor should he have told her about going out.
"That bastard, the third brother shouldn't have saved him. He should have drowned and benefited the village."
"Exactly, the third brother brought this trouble upon himself this time."
"..."
The single father and widowed mother were like hindsight experts, shaking their heads and slapping their thighs, saying that their third son shouldn't have done that.
Shan Yaowen thought that Chu Erchun was a bad seed, and the third brother was just trying to be kind. Who knows?
After finishing his conversation, Shan Yaowen also finished his meal.
After hearing the whole story, the single father and mother went home satisfied, and even took their little sister with them.
"No, I want to sleep with my second brother~"
The little girl pouted and refused to leave.
She was carried by her mother.
"What do you know, you little kid? Don't bother your second brother when he's doing his work."
After cleaning up the dishes and washing up briefly, Shan Yaowen got onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and pressed himself against it.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
Lin Nian exclaimed in surprise; she hadn't expected Shan Yaowen to come straight at her.
"Mom said it herself, of course we should get down to business."
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's freezing!"
"I've been holding it in for days." Shan Yaowen didn't care about anything else, pulling the blanket over himself. "Aren't you cold now?"
"I can do it myself, don't try to stop me."
Lin Nian hugged Shan Yaowen's neck, savoring the joy.
Not long after their marriage, Shan Yaowen went out to rescue his brother-in-law; he was so eager, and so was he.
However, she was more reserved than Shan Yaowen.
Moreover, the soundproofing of this house is really bad; if the two of them make too much noise, the neighbors can hear them.
My parents overheard them talking and then came over to gossip.
Then she could only hold it in, trying not to make a loud noise.
Seeing his wife holding back, wanting to shout but not daring to, Shan Yaowen got even more excited.
"Be gentle." Lin Nian could hold it in, but the bed frame was uncooperative, creaking and groaning.
Moreover, it was very rhythmic, following Shan Yaowen's every move.
That's how old-fashioned four-poster beds are; they make a creaking sound with the slightest movement, let alone their vigorous activity. Even just turning over in bed makes a noise.
"Once we make some money, we'll replace this bed first." Shan Yaowen listened to the sound coming from the bed frame and slightly changed the frequency of his voice.
"Um."
After a period of vigorous exercise, Lin Nian let out a long sigh of relief and patted Shan Yaowen, who was lying on top of her:
"Isn't it all over? Why aren't you coming down yet?"
"Sleep in my arms."
"Then don't touch me indiscriminately."
Shan Yaowen didn't know how he fell asleep, but when he woke up the next morning, he was still holding his wife.
Life didn't change much after he returned because he became a special envoy.
Every morning, I still get up to shovel snow, then have breakfast, feed the dogs, birds, deer, and other animals at home, then go to the pasture to clean up, feed the sheep, and then participate in the village's collective snow shoveling activity.
However, when he returned from shoveling snow, his family came to his door to make trouble because of Chu Er's matter.
As soon as he returned home, he saw a middle-aged couple shouting and cursing at his front door.
"So what if you're a special envoy? What's with all the swagger?"
"Does he really think of himself as an official?"
