The medicine for Du Youling was ready in the kitchen, and Du Laoer took a spoon and fed it one bite at a time:
"Lingbao is so good. I'm almost done drinking. Come on, take the last two sips."
Du Youling drank half the bowl of medicine with dignity.
Doctor Wang prescribed medicine to replenish the body, with licorice added to it. Apart from a medicinal taste, it was not bitter, so Du Youling was willing to drink it.
After Du Laoer finished feeding his daughter, Li Yueniang happened to bring a small cotton handkerchief to wipe her mouth.
"Ling Bao, how do you feel? Does your head still hurt?" Li Yueniang asked distressedly.
"I'm fine, mother. After taking the medicine, my head doesn't hurt anymore. Don't worry~"
Du Youling pulled Li Yueniang's sleeve and shook it in a coquettish way, which made Li Yueniang feel soft.
Holding Du Youling in your arms is like a fragrant kiss.
"Hey, our Lingbao is the most well-behaved. He is really my mother's little cotton-padded jacket. Okay, I don't have to worry anymore. As long as our Lingbao is well, my mother will be fine."
Du Laoer, who was sitting on the wooden stool, saw that his daughter had grown well, and his worried heart was relieved.
Only now did he have time to think of the person who pushed his daughter into the river.
Du Laoer was sitting in the main room with a straight face, frowning and looking out of the yard.
Li Yueniang knew what he was thinking, but it was hard for her to say this.
The person who pushed the treasure into the river was Du Laoer's nephew. This matter may be big or small. It could be said that the children were playing around without paying attention, or it could be said that the two brothers did it on purpose. The two nephews had always bullied other children in the village.
Ling Bao is awake now. If they go to Mr. Du's house in Dongtou to ask for an explanation, they will probably start a fight again.
"Dad, you don't need to come forward to do this, so that grandpa and grandma won't have to talk about you again. When my third brother and I go, we don't need to find an adult. The two of us can vent our anger on my little sister," Du Xingjian said.
"Yes, Dad, just let us two go. Aren't those two little brats bullying the younger ones? I didn't even need the elder brother. I took care of them both by myself. How dare you bully my sister!" Du Sanlang angrily say.
"Then you go ahead, it doesn't have to be too serious. Just spank each of them twenty times. After the spanking, throw them directly into the river at their door. Be careful not to touch the rocks!" Du Laoer said.
"Okay, Dad, we're going right now."
Du Youling didn't stop her. She even wanted to go and watch the two naughty children being beaten, but her mother, Li Yueniang, was holding her. She was afraid that she would make another mistake and would not let her out.
Just forget it.
…
Here, in the village, it is already evening.
Because of the severe drought in the fields, many people now skip dinner and just stand outside chatting to divert their attention. When it gets dark, they go home and go straight to bed.
It's busy outside now.
Someone saw the two brothers walking toward the east end of the village menacingly, and asked Du Dalang through the fence: "Da Lang, have you eaten? Where are you going?"
Du Xingjian shouted as he walked: "Go and avenge my sister."
Hearing this, Lin Ergou walked out of the fence: "Hey, Dalang, let's go to your uncle's house. Just in time, your Uncle Ergou and I are fine too. Come on, let's go to your uncle's house to see you two brothers. How did you avenge your sister? Haha."
Lin Ergou didn't think it was a big deal and loved to join in the fun. Hearing the words, he quickly followed the brothers to the east end of the village.
The two brothers continued to walk forward, and someone not far away asked them what they were doing.
"Da Lang San Lang, where are you going?" Another person greeted enthusiastically.
"My brother and I are going to avenge my sister." Du Sanlang rushed to answer.
He wished that everyone in the village would go with them and watch the two brothers beat up those two naughty kids and see if they would have the nerve to continue bullying his sister in the future.
"Oh, Sanlang, please walk slowly. Brother Dalin will also go and take a look."
…
"Hey Dalang, Sanlang..."
Similar conversations happened all the way, as the brothers walked from the west end of the village to the east end of the village, followed by a group of people.
Someone also reported to Mr. Du a long time ago.
"Boss Du, Dalang and Sanlang are here to look for Goudan and his two brothers. They look like they are going to beat them up. Please let your Goudan Shuba go hide for a while."
"I know, thank you, Old Fifth Uncle." Boss Du slammed the vermilion door shut, and he was so angry that he died.
He picked up the cane and wanted to beat the two boys, but his mother stopped him.
"What are you doing? You want to beat up my precious grandson." The old lady was over sixty. She wore coarse linen clothes and the material was not good, but she ate well and was always in high spirits.
"Mom, look how you've spoiled them both. If I don't beat them today, they won't have a long memory!"
"What kind of memory is there? What kind of memory is there!" Mrs. Du protected her two grandsons like a hen protecting its chicks.
"Isn't it just the stinky girl who beat up the second child's family? I am her grandmother. Even if the elder brother and third son of the second child's family come over, I won't let them touch a finger of my precious grandson. I don't think who of them dares bump!"
"Mom, what do you know!" Boss Du was a little angry.
Mrs. Du was a little angry when she heard her son's words. She was about to get angry when a delicate voice came from behind.
"Grandma, don't be angry. Dad is not angry at Goudan and the two of them for pushing Du Youling. He is just angry that because of this, people are coming over there, and a large group of people are following him. Dad thinks it is embarrassing."
Boss Du was very pleased to see that his daughter knew what he was thinking, but those two incompetent people actually embarrassed him.
"Oh, that's what you think. I thought you were going to beat up my two precious grandchildren for that stinky girl."
Mrs. Du suddenly realized that it was nothing. After a while, she was shocked, thinking that the two boys would not dare to touch his precious grandson.
Mr. Du's family can be said to be very cold and cold, and he has no regard for his brother's family at all. Mrs. Du never paid much attention to her son Du Lao'er.
Several people were standing in the yard, where Du Dalang and Du Sanlang had already reached the door.
With a bang, Du Dalang kicked open the vermilion door.
When Mrs. Du saw this situation, she immediately became angry and like a hen guarding her chicks, she took two steps forward and said angrily:
"Dalang, Sanlang, what are you going to do? Don't you think you're taking this old woman seriously? How dare you kick in the door of our house?"
"Grandma, get out of the way. We have separated. I am not here to honor you today. I am here to beat that boy! They pushed my sister into the river, so be prepared to be beaten."
When Du Xingjian came up, he was ready to beat someone up, and he was not planning to fight with Mrs. Du.
This grandma of his has always been biased to the point of being biased, and nothing can be accomplished by trying to pull her away. She can simply come up and beat someone up, and then leave after beating her, and that's it.
I saw Du Xingjian's dexterous body, bypassing Mrs. Du in one go, holding a naughty child in one hand, and directly lifted the two people out of the door.
Du Xingjian was so powerful and so fast that the three people standing in the yard didn't even react.
When he came to his senses, he quickly ran out of the door.
As a result, as soon as they stepped across the threshold, there was a sound like a slaughtering pig coming from outside.
I saw Du Xingjian and Du Yongfeng, each holding down a little kid and spanking it.
Every move touches the flesh of the palm, and others feel pain when they look at it.
Moreover, the two brothers were so aggressive that most people would not dare to step forward, let alone try to persuade them.
Before anyone could react, the two little boys had been beaten so hard that their throats were about to split.
The two of them counted in their minds. After 20 blows, they glanced at the river in front of Mr. Du's house.
There are not many stones on the dry river bed, it is all dry sand, and there is a slope where children usually slide down to play.
The two brothers looked at each other and kicked the two naughty children into the river.
Gululu rolled down.
After the brothers finished their work and avenged their sister.
Just walk away.
