Chapter 84: Crying Loudly

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ever since Xue Zhuzi wanted to hit him, he was stunned. He was still a little dazed from the sudden burst of sound. After a long time, he seemed to come back to his senses. His eyes looked forward and he said in a daze, “Dagui, I’m old and can’t take care of things anymore. Fortunately, we separated long ago. You’ll have to deal with your family’s matters by yourself in the future.”

“Father…” Xue Dagui cried bitterly. His father’s heart had turned cold as well.

…

Xue Yan and the others didn’t know that Xue Zhuzi almost hit Xue Da. They just had dinner.

It was also at this time that Xue Wufu realized that his ankle had been twisted and swollen again because he had been in a hurry to stop his mother from getting the money.

Xue Erfu carried Xue Wufu on his back and sat him on the bed.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan followed suit.

Xue Yan squatted at Xue Wufu’s feet, looked around, and said, “Wufu, I’ll apply some more medicine for you, but you can’t twist it again, or it’ll be troublesome in the future.”

Before Xue Wufu could finish, Xue Erfu laughed, “That’s enough. Go back and tie him to the brick bed. If he can’t get off the brick bed, he won’t twist his body again. He won’t cry anymore anyways. You all saw how loudly he cried just now.”

“Hey!” Xue Wufu’s face immediately turned red.

“What, was I wrong?” Xue Erfu continued to tease. “It’s true. You’re already so old, but you’re still crying. Xue Yan didn’t even cry.”

“That’s because Xue Yan never cried! When he was still a little kid, he never cried. When father carried him back, we all loved him a lot. You know that!”

Hearing this, Jiang Yue glanced at Xue Yan.

Xue Yan was applying the medicine to Xue Wufu, but when he heard this, he stopped moving for a moment. He had actually cried, but that was all in the past.

He had cried more than once.

When he knew that his fifth brother was dead, when he knew that his Grandfather was dead, when he saw his eldest brother lying in a pool of blood and not breathing with his own eyes, when his third brother died, when his father died, when his mother died, when his fourth brother died, when his second brother died, when his sisters-in-law his died, when his nephews and nieces died… It was all because of him.

Xue Yan’s throat suddenly choked up, and it was very painful. Fortunately, he was squatting down and had his head lowered, so no one noticed anything wrong with him.

“Then what about Jiang Yue?” Xue Erfu was obviously in a good mood and deliberately teased his brother, “Jiang Yue must have cried before, so why didn’t she cry today? She’s much younger than you.”

“Stop that!” Xue Wufu was furious. “Xue Yan and Jiang Yue are both here, how can you make fun of me like this? How am I supposed to be their reliable big brother in the future?”

“Even if I didn’t say it, they saw it,” Xue Erfu laughed.

“It’s still different! I didn’t feel that embarrassed just now, but now that you’ve said that, I can’t face them!”

“Alright, alright, alright, I won’t say anymore, I won’t.”

“Good,” Xue Wufu immediately became happy again. He was actually in a good mood. He had finally gotten rid of his fourth uncle’s family. Everyone in the family was in a good mood. Then, he patted Jiang Yue’s head. “Jiang Yue, although I cried so loudly today it was because I was sad and angry… No matter what, I’m still your brother. You have to listen to me in the future. Forget about Xue Yan. He’s a child prodigy. I can’t compare to him. It’s better for me to listen to him.”
