Chapter 35 - 35: 35 Prefer to be beaten
Xiao Yuchuan was beaten to a pulp, with second brother’s iron-like fists greeting his own body, causing his internal organs to hurt so much that he felt like vomiting. With such a heavy hand, it was obvious how much anger second brother was harboring.
Su Qingyue saw the benefactor return, and from his outfit yesterday, she could tell he was a hunter. She guessed he might have gone hunting today, and as she saw the prey he threw on the ground, he must have just returned from hunting in the mountains.
What surprised her was that the benefactor started beating his younger brother as soon as he entered the door. The force of his fists showed no mercy; it looked painful just watching it.
Could it be that he wasn’t his brother, not from this family, but a bad person?
Otherwise, why would he start beating someone right after entering the house?
But looking at the beaten guy’s eyes, the things in the house, and his embroidery, it was clear that he too belonged to this family.
No matter who he was, the stinky embroidery boy who wanted to starve her could die for all she cared. She wouldn’t even furrow her brows, but instead clap her hands and cheer.
At first, she figured the stinky boy liked to mutter in front of her and would surely scream when beaten. After waiting for a while, she saw him beaten beyond recognition by the benefactor, unable to get up from the ground, not even making a sound of pain.
She raised her brows, unexpectedly finding this stinky boy quite brave and good at enduring pain.
Seeing third brother half beaten to death, Xiao Yishan finally stopped fuming and pulled his hand away, “Do you know why I beat you?” The little bastard actually thought about secretly selling his wife while he was away! It absolutely infuriated him!
Xiao Yuchuan was smart and, of course, understood that second brother beat him because he tried to sell his wife behind second brother’s back, causing his anger.
With the villagers being chatterboxes, he estimated that as soon as second brother entered the village, someone told him about it.
He felt that he had done wrong too, so he willingly took this beating without even screaming in pain.
“Second brother, I was wrong.” Yuchuan squeezed out a few words from his mouth, his face so swollen it was difficult to even speak.
“You’d better not sell your wife again!” Xiao Yishan spoke with an unprecedented severity.
“I won’t.” Xiao Yuchuan nodded.
Xiao Yishan looked at third brother’s solemn face and didn’t say anything more. Although third brother was usually shrewd, he would keep his promises. Yishan pondered how third brother didn’t like his wife while he wanted to keep her, and worried that it would be difficult for them to get along later, “Third brother, if you have any grudge, just aim at me, don’t blame your wife.”
“How could I blame her?” He felt that he deserved the beating, an apologetic expression flashing across his face. However, his face was so swollen that no one could make out his expression.
Xiao Yishan walked in front of Su Qingyue. She saw he had something to say and looked up at him, only to find him so tall and strong, with a huge muscular build that was nearly twice her size. Her height only reached a little past his shoulders, making her look weak and pitiful. “I’m sorry!” His cold face showed remorse.
Confusion flashed in her clear eyes.
Xiao Yishan pointed at Xiao Yuchuan, who was still beaten down on the ground, “It’s my fault for not disciplining third brother well, causing you to suffer.”
Since Su Qingyue had been watching his lips carefully, she understood what he said.
Third brother… So the nagging and stingy brat was really the benefactor’s younger brother.
Aside from not cooking for her at noon and being so stingy that he even put on airs when she wanted to borrow a mirror, the brat hadn’t really made things difficult for her..
