"Of course the four of us are..." Jiang Qinghao blurted out to answer, but fell silent again mid-sentence.
The other two brothers also fell silent.
The four brothers are not of the same mind.
Although they all gathered around Jiang Qingchuan when they encountered difficult problems at this time, they had gotten along very badly in the Jiang family for so many years.
Not to mention four people with one heart, the four of them can give birth to eighty hearts!
When they were young, in order to escape Su's punishment, they blamed each other and blamed each other. Although they were brothers, they fought in the nest every day. Fights and quarrels were commonplace!
Su set up a rule for them, asking them to supervise each other and report each other. Those who report will be meritorious, and if they make mistakes next time, they will be exempted from punishment.
In order to gain immunity this time, they also reported on their brothers!
There is no way, Su's punishment is too terrible!
He often closed the small dark room next to the ancestral hall. There was not even a window in the room, and there were no beds, just the cold, hard mud floor.
In a place like this, one can go hungry for two or three days in a row and can only drink some water to survive. It is even more difficult in hot summer or severe winter.
However, what is even more unbearable is not the physical torture, but the mental torture!
Children are afraid of the dark and ghosts.
But what happened to be enshrined in the ancestral hall were the tablets of several generations of the Jiang family!
It was deserted here at night, and you could often hear ghosts crying and wolf howling. Even the oldest Jiang Qingchuan was so scared that he wet his pants!
As for the other four little ones, let alone them!
In order to escape this kind of punishment, they reported each other's accusations, which basically reached a fever pitch. Later, they started fighting each other, leaving their heads and faces bloody.
Later, when my father came back from the border, this nightmare life was finally over.
However, that was only the formal end.
In fact, this nightmare has stayed in the minds of the brothers from beginning to end and has never really disappeared!
Especially the younger Jiang Qingjing, he can't stop trembling when he hears Su's anger!
After the four brothers recalled the past, the fog in their hearts became thicker.
"Brother, what do you think of what Su Li said?" Jiang Qingyu asked in a low voice, "You...do you think anything is wrong?"
"Since you asked that, you figured out something was wrong, right?" Jiang Qingchuan asked without answering.
Jiang Qingyu was very frightened when he exposed his thoughts, and subconsciously looked around again and again.
"She didn't come over!" Jiang Qingchuan saw his fear and smiled bitterly: "Just say it!"
"I was too young at that time..." Jiang Qingyu muttered, "I'm actually not sure whether what I remember actually happened! I just always felt that before Su Li was born, my mother was not like this! At that time , Mother loves me so much..."
"Do you also have this idea?" Jiang Qinghao said excitedly, "The mother in my memory is like this too! I remember that when I was a child, I was very greedy and had a good appetite. You were full after eating three meals a day, but I had to I need to eat four or five meals! My mother was afraid that I would be hungry, so she asked the kitchen to prepare a bunch of snacks! But later when she came back from her hometown, not only did she not prepare snacks for me, she also deliberately starved me!"
When Jiang Qinghao talked about his childhood, he was filled with sadness and almost burst into tears.
"The feeling of hunger is so uncomfortable!" He sniffed and looked at Jiang Qingchuan, "Brother, I reported you on taking your third brother back to your grandmother's house that year!"
"It's you?" Jiang Qingyu was furious, "You're so good, Jiang Qinghao! Do you know that my eldest brother's leg disease came from that time! His mother beat him like crazy, and his knees were swollen! After that, Lock the room in darkness and don't feed him for three days! My eldest brother almost died because of this!"
"I'm sorry!" Jiang Qinghao apologized with a bitter face, "I'm so sorry! I was really hungry and crazy at that time!"
"Then you can't do that!" Jiang Qingyu raised his hand to hit him, but Jiang Qingchuan stopped him.
"Okay, didn't you report him?" He sighed, "Later, he got hungry and stole it.
When you went out to buy food with your mother's money, you saw it and reported it to your mother. Have you forgotten how your mother punished him? "
Jiang Qinghao recalled the situation at that time and lowered his raised hand.
"Why don't I remember?" He said with shame on his face. "My mother punished him to eat. When he was full, he had to stuff it into his stomach. The stuffing caused his stomach to bleed, and he howled all day and all night..."
"She was so cruel!" Jiang Qingchuan recalled the situation back then, feeling desolate and angry at the same time. "Ahao was only five or six years old at that time, and he was still a little kid! He was screaming so miserably, and she was pretending I called a doctor, but the doctor said he couldn't cure it..."
"Later, brother, you sneaked out and called the doctor, and I was lucky enough to survive!" Jiang Qinghao frowned and smiled bitterly, "Now that I think about it, brother, we were abused by her all the time when we were children!"
"Is this...abuse?" Jiang Qingjing whispered, "Isn't it discipline?"
"Which mother have you ever seen discipline her children like this?" Jiang Qingchuan asked.
"I...I don't know!" Jiang Qingjing waved his hands in panic, "I only have one mother, and I have never seen how other mothers treat their children! But I remember my mother said that spoiling a child is like killing a child. ! When we were naughty when we were young, she set the rules for us, didn’t she?"
"There are no rules like that!" Jiang Qinghao shouted angrily, "I was in so much pain that I almost died. I cried and begged her, but she ignored me! She doesn't love me at all!"
"But..." Jiang Qingjing said something else, but was interrupted by Jiang Qingyu, "So, until now, you still think she is not wrong, right?"
"I..." Jiang Qingjing shrank his head and said, "No matter whether our parents are wrong or not, we shouldn't have private discussions about our son, right? Wouldn't this... be... not good..."
"So?" Jiang Qingchuan looked at him, "When you see her again, do you plan to complain to her again in exchange for immunity from punishment next time?"
Before Jiang Qingjing could reply, Jiang Qingyu had already waved his fist, "Xiaosi, if you dare to complain, I will tell you to never open your mouth again!"
"I can still pull out your tongue!" Jiang Qinghao stared at him coldly, "We have grown up now! It's not time to let her mess around with her when we were children! At worst, I will run away from home like my elder brother! Anyway, I can no longer accept her anger like I did when I was a child!"
"I won't tell! I'm determined not to tell!" Jiang Qingjing was so frightened that she cowered in her arms, "I actually remind you with good intentions, because I'm afraid you'll be punished if you make a mistake! Since you're not afraid of her anymore, it's useless for me to complain! "
"As long as you understand in your heart!" Jiang Qinghao hummed, "Today is the first time we resisted her. She will definitely punish us severely when she goes back! I don't care what you do, I will never accept it like before!"
