Wei Qi and Huo Shichu beat the Wei family so hard that they no longer dared to clamor to take them in, and then they stopped. As expected, people tend to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Wei Qi had not retaliated directly before. They, they thought he was still the same Wei Dalang who allowed them to bully and exploit him.
Only when Wei Qi beat them without mercy did they realize the reality and dare not continue to be arrogant in front of Wei Qi.
The Wei family helped each other and left. Wei Qi and Huo Shichu couldn't help laughing when they saw the heated fight between the two parties.
"Are you injured?" Wei Qi came over and asked the pretty blushing Huo Shichu, looking her up and down.
"No, how could their three-legged skills hurt me? On the contrary, I beat them until they cried for father and mother." Huo Shichu said proudly, shaking his little fist, "I'm a good fighter."
Wei Qi took her little fist and squeezed it. He looked again and found that there was no redness, swelling or broken skin, so he relaxed and said, "That family is cruel and vindictive. You should stay away from them in the future."
"Don't worry, I have the ability to protect myself. They can't do anything to me." Huo Shichu said nonchalantly. If she could be calculated by these stupid people, then she wouldn't have to be a time and space wanderer and could go back to herself directly. Just lie down in the accompanying space.
"I helped you fight, how are you going to repay me?" Huo Shichu suddenly asked, looking at Wei Qi expectantly with a pair of watery almond eyes.
Wei Qi chuckled and said, "I'll make braised pork and sour vinegar pork ribs for you, okay?"
"That's not bad!" Huo Shichu was also a meat eater, so he was naturally very satisfied with Wei Qi's reward.
Wei Qi touched her little head before going back to cooking. He didn't realize at all that he was becoming more and more self-conscious about being a housewife.
On the other side, the Wei family, who had been beaten all over in pain, returned to their shabby house and began to curse and accuse Wei Qi and Huo Shichu.
"Dad, what should we do now? That bastard Wei Dalang won't help us at all!" Wei Erlang said with a sinister face, and hissed as soon as he finished speaking.
"What can I do? Can you beat him? If you can't, then shut up!" Old Man Wei said angrily.
He was not treated as an exception by Wei Qi and received many beatings. However, Wei Qi was concerned about his old arms and legs and did not want to injure anyone, so he was beaten more lightly. But even so, it was enough for him to bear. What's more, his wounds from the fire were not healed yet, and because there was no medicine, they were red, swollen and pus-filled, and the pain was even worse.
"That bastard is unreliable. Old man, we have to solve the problem of food and accommodation for the family first. Where is the place for people to live in this shabby house? It will be terrible if it rains again one day..." Old Mrs. Wei covered the corners of her mouth and mumbled. said.
"I also know that we have to solve it, but how to solve it?! I don't know either! You people who have to work hard to find a solution now!" Old Wei had a headache and ran out of patience, and cursed with a ferocious face, "What do you want from you? It’s useless at the critical moment! What a waste!”
After hearing this, Wei Erlang and several others became gloomy, silent, and very angry in their hearts.
You know, Old Man Wei would not scold them like this normally. After all, they are Old Man Wei's beloved sons and they have always been a kind father and a filial son. And Dalang Wei has always been the only one who has been called useless, but now it is their turn to suffer. After being scolded, can they not be angry and aggrieved?
"Old man, Erlang and the others don't think about it. It's all Dalang Wei's fault! If he could be more sensible and let us live in the house, everything would be fine? It's all because of his cruelty and heartlessness, and he doesn't care about the flesh and blood of the whole family..." Old Mrs. Wei cursed angrily. At this moment, she had forgotten who drove Dalang Wei out of the house, who was seriously injured and could not get off the ground. Why didn't she take care of her blood relatives at that time? Why don't you think that you are cruel and heartless?
Some people are selfish and self-centered. Their moral standards are used to impose demands on others and never to restrain themselves.
"Mom, I'm hungry." Wei Silang said in a low voice. He was the most favored person since he was a child. He never went to the ground and devoted himself to reading the books of sages. But now that his books have been burned and there is nothing in the house, he I was hungry and in pain, but there was no solution. I would only ask my parents.
"Oh, my dear son, you have been wronged today!" Old Mrs. Wei hugged Wei Silang and shouted distressedly.
The grandchildren of the Wei family also complained that they were hungry and thirsty, but what was the use of shouting? They don't even have a stove to light a fire now.
"Erlang, Sanlang, you take your children to your in-laws' house to stay for a few days. You can't let your children live with us in a place like this." Old Man Wei finally said. He usually thinks that his sons are filial and capable, but now they have encountered a big problem. But when I found that none of them were reliable, I felt a little discouraged.
When Wei Erlang and Wei Sanlang heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, they could still go to their father-in-law and mother-in-law's house!
"But dad, what should we do?" Wei Silang was anxious. He didn't have a family yet, but it would be outrageous for him, a brother-in-law, to follow his brother-in-law and his sister-in-law to live in his sister-in-law's natal family.
Old Man Wei sighed and said to his two married sons, "You can borrow some money from the Yue family. We have to build a house."
When Wei Erlang and Wei Sanlang heard what he said, the joy on their faces suddenly disappeared. Wei Erlang asked hesitantly: "Shall we borrow money from the Yue family to build a house for the whole family? Then don't I lose money? The fourth child does not have the Yue family. …”
Why didn't old man Wei understand his little thoughts? It was so clear that Old Wei's heart ached and he almost couldn't breathe. He didn't expect that his son would start to plot now.
In order to prevent his brother from being jealous, he had no choice but to glare at Wei Erlang and said solemnly: "Your brother will become an official in the future, won't you take advantage of him?"
With this big cake, Wei Erlang and Wei Sanlang suddenly became silent.
Old Man Wei closed his eyes and continued: "Your mother and I have been burned down. Now if we want to build a new house, we have to sell several acres of land."
"What? Selling land? That won't work!" Old Mrs. Wei objected when she heard that the land was to be sold to build a house.
"How can we make money without selling land? Erlang Sanlang's in-laws are not rich either. How much money can they lend us?" Old Man Wei said angrily, "Do you want to live in a thatched house or this shabby house?"
How could Old Mrs. Wei, who was accustomed to living in a large brick house with tiles, be willing to wrong herself? So he shut up and decided to sell the land.
Wei Erlang and Wei Sanlang took their wives and children to stay at their in-laws' house. Wei Silang and Wei Old Man's couple had to live in a dilapidated house.
After some hard talking, Mrs. Wei borrowed rice from the villagers to cook and barely filled her stomach.
At night, the three of them slept on the tattered mats in the main room. When they looked up, they could see the starry sky through the hole in the roof and smell the sticky, moist smell of earth.
The three of them, who were used to living a good life, were tossing and turning and couldn't sleep at all. It was extremely difficult.
But they didn't know at this time that this was just the beginning of their family's downfall.
