When Lin Yunchu heard this, confusion flashed across his eyes, "Am I abusing them?"
"You still don't admit it?" Pei Ankang sneered, "I shouldn't have asked you. How could a person like you admit the bad things he did!"
He went to help out with a cousin's house for a week.
My cousin's family is well off.
Every time he helped out in the past, when he came back, his cousin would give him some old clothes worn by his cousin over there and give them to his brothers and sisters. In order to get some clothes for his brothers and sisters, he took the initiative to go there for a week this time.
Unexpectedly, when I came back last night, I heard many people in the village talking about their families.
He said that his grandma had found a wife for his father, and they had a mother.
But he also said that this woman didn't want to live with his father at all, and kept saying she wanted a divorce.
His father is a soldier, so getting married is a military marriage, and they can't get divorced at all.
This woman wrote several letters to her husband in order to get a divorce.
At the same time, she also deliberately tricked his younger brothers and sisters into going to the river where people are drowned, just to drown them.
As long as she drowns them, she won't have to raise children even if she can't get divorced.
Fortunately, his younger siblings were smart and knew how to run away.
After hearing this, he hurried home.
When he got home, he found that his brothers and sisters had already fallen into bed.
Seeing that they were sleeping soundly, he didn't wake them up.
When he got up in the morning, he saw the dense scars on the faces, hands, and necks of Pei Haonan and Pei Yucheng.
Some of the scars were green, some were purple, and some were scabbed.
All in all, shocking.
Thinking of what he heard when he came back last night, he exploded.
Needless to say, this woman must have beaten them when she saw that his brother could not be drowned.
Their father is not at home and their life is not very easy, but the Pei family will not beat them.
But he didn't expect that the younger brothers and sisters he had always protected would be beaten like this by such a woman!
It is unbearable!
"Did they offend you? If you don't want to marry my father, just get a divorce. What's the point of beating a child!"
Pei Ankang said angrily.
"..." Lin Yunchu frowned slightly and said, "Who said I hit children? Do you have evidence?"
"I have no evidence, so I will come to you?" Pei Ankang asked back, staring at her with deep eyes, "I didn't expect you to be so good-looking and hit people so hard! You are so cruel! You are vicious and the worst. !”
"Brother!"
"Brother...what are you talking about? She is our mother!"
When Pei Haonan arrived, he heard that Pei Ankang was back and came to see Lin Yunchu.
He thought he wanted to secretly see their mother, but he didn't expect that before he entered the Gu family's yard, he heard Pei Ankang's angry curses.
"Haonan, did she threaten you? You were beaten, and you are not allowed to say anything."
Pei Ankang looked at Lin Yunchu with even colder eyes.
"Brother, brother, you didn't say that. Mom didn't hit us."
"You and Yu Cheng have so many injuries, but you said they didn't hit you." Pei Ankang didn't believe it at all. "Big brother is back, don't be afraid! Big brother will protect you!"
Pei Haonan was anxious and confused, and said, "No, brother, my injuries were not caused by my mother! Look, there are many injuries on my arms and the back of my hands."
Pei Ankang's eyes fell on the back of Lin Yunchu's hand.
"..." Lin Yunchu did have many scars on his arms and backs of his hands.
"Brother, we were cut by reed leaves and weeds."
Then Pei Haonan pulled Pei Ankang aside and explained to him in a low voice that yesterday afternoon they begged Lin Yunchu to look for wild ducks. They did not catch any wild ducks, but picked up a lot of duck eggs.
"We discovered these duck eggs. Wild ducks will definitely still lay eggs. If we go today, there will definitely be eggs today. Brother, we didn't tell anyone about this, so we just collected duck eggs quietly. Don't tell anyone else either."
Pei Haonan whispered.
Pei Ankang's head was buzzing, "I clearly heard that she wanted to drown you on purpose? She also said that you ran home with scars all over your body in the evening."
"The people in the village are not convinced! They feel uncomfortable seeing that dad can marry such a beautiful wife."
"..." Pei Ankang, so, did he really misunderstand Lin Yunchu?
"Brother, mother is fine. She gave us sweets, made us delicious food, and made us new clothes. Go and apologize to mother."
When Pei Haonan talked about these things, he looked extremely proud.
"You are young! She bribed you on purpose! Who knows what she has in mind!"
Pei Ankang snorted coldly.
Apologize?
nonexistent.
He won't apologize!
A long road will tell you how powerful your horse is, and you will see people's hearts over time!
The stepmother has been bad since ancient times. Although she did not beat Pei Haonan and the others, he did not believe that she would be a good person.
"Haonan, go back with brother. Brother has grown up and can protect you!"
"Brother, it feels really good to have a mother."
"Pei Haonan, you are so naive! You will never love her back. Don't be betrayed by her in the future. You will have no place to cry!"
Pei Ankang glared at Pei Haonan and walked away alone.
*
"Mom, I'm sorry. My brother listened to the slander and lost himself."
Pei Haonan slowly walked into the Gu family's yard, his little face apologizing to Lin Yunchu tangledly.
"..." Lin Yunchu smiled, "Haonan, who did you learn these words from? You said them very skillfully."
"You can hear the village radio." Pei Haonan replied and continued to beg Lin Yunchu, "My brother is just a stubborn donkey! When he understands, he will like you very much."
"You have said so, I definitely can't be angry."
Lin Yunchu rubbed his head and said, "Since you're here, let's have breakfast at Mom's place. Mom will make fried rice for you."
Scoop out the leftover rice from last night, beat three eggs into the pot, fry them, add salt and mix well, put in the rice, pull out some firewood, and stir-fry the rice over low heat. After a while, the egg fried rice came out.
The rice grains are distinct, golden in color, and exudes the fragrance of eggs and rice.
Pei Haonan swallowed his saliva. This fried rice looked delicious.
"You eat first, and after eating, take some home for Yucheng and Yinyao."
Lin Yunchu filled a bowl with a large bowl of fried rice and handed it to Pei Haonan.
"Oh, our Gu family is so rich! We have so much rice that we can send it out!"
Just as Pei Haonan left, Luo Feifei's sinister voice sounded again.
