Back to 1984: Hunting in the Mountains

When Yu Qiutang followed Wang Haofeng out, he saw Wang Xiaolu with his hands in the pockets of his cotton-padded jacket, looking at this side nervously.

He looked back from time to time.

When he saw Yu Qiutang coming out, his eyes lit up and he immediately ran over and stuffed some things into Yu Qiutang's hands.

This is……

Yu Qiutang was slightly stunned. Without even looking at it, he could tell from the texture that the thing in his hand was money, and there were several of them.

Without even looking at it, he quickly stuffed the money back into Wang Xiaolu's hand.

"What?!"

Wang Xiaolu tried to push it in again, but when he saw Yu Qiutang give way, he said dejectedly: "Uncle Qiutang, this is the money you saved me last time. I'm giving it to you now, otherwise no one will play with me. Everyone says that I am untrustworthy and don't know how to repay a favor. I have no conscience and no quality..."

Wang Xiaolu pursed his lips, feeling quite aggrieved.

Yu Qiutang looked at the money in his hand and frowned helplessly, "Where did you get this money?"

"My mother gave it to me."

"Was it given or stolen?"

“Give…Give.”

"Why don't you tell me the truth? Why did your mother give you the money? It's not just a few cents. Even if she wanted to do something, she wouldn't do it herself. Why did she give it to you?"

Wang Xiaolu was speechless and silent for a moment, but still struggled to say, "Just accept it. This is my life-saving money anyway. After you take it, you can no longer say that I have no conscience."

But even Wang Haofeng could tell something was wrong with him, not to mention that he had deceived Yu Qiutang.

Yu Qiutang just felt it was too troublesome.

Child, I saved you with good intentions, but you are putting me on the fire?
He suppressed his emotion and patiently said to Wang Xiaolu, "Wang Xiaolu, I saved you because you were in trouble. If I didn't bring you back, you might be in danger.

As for whether or not to pay money to save you, that was the promise your parents made at the time. If they didn't give the money later, it was their responsibility. It has nothing to do with you as a child, so you don't need to bear the responsibility.

I understand your family's situation. I know that this money could not have been given to you by your mother. We all know where the money came from.

I can't bear to see you stealing money from home, and I can't accept it if you use this money to pay for your life-saving expenses.

If you still regard me as your savior, take the money and go back now, and don’t cause me any more trouble.”

Wang Haofeng also said, "You are such an ignorant child. You brought the money here by yourself, and your mother knew about it. She thought we instigated you to steal money from our house.

You are so old, but you don't understand this. Take the money and go back quickly. Don't cause trouble here. Do it while your mother is not paying attention. Return the money to where it came from. Do you hear me?"

"No!"

Wang Xiaolu, however, is very stubborn.

"I brought all the money here, so I didn't think about taking it back. Anyway, you have to accept it, otherwise I won't be able to hold my head up in front of my friends, and they will just ignore me."

"You kid..."

Yu Qiutang was speechless.

If it was his own child, he could still educate him well, but what could he do with this child? He could only say to Wang Haofeng:
"Fengzi, you are not related to them, you can take the money and return it to his mother. If you don't want to give it to us, we can just take it and don't cause trouble. We saved people, but in the end we still end up in trouble."

"Okay, I'll take him back."

Wang Haofeng said this and stopped eating. He grabbed Wang Xiaolu's arm and prepared to go back. Yu Qiutang also prepared to go back to eat.

But at this moment, two people, a man and a woman, ran hurriedly down the path. They were Wang Xiaolu's parents.

Wang Xiaolu's mother ran faster, and her father followed closely behind. When he saw Wang Xiaolu from afar, he started yelling at the top of his voice.

"Well, Wang Xiaolu, you are a thief in your own home. I didn't know that you, a little bastard, would steal money.

I raised you up, but how come you turned out to be an ungrateful person? Why don't you learn something else... Learn to steal money from others. If I don't beat you to death today... I will let you steal!! "

It is a waste of Wang Xiaolu's mother's talent if she doesn't sing soprano.

When she yelled like this, at least half of the production team was awakened, and it was visible to the naked eye that people were walking out on the village road to watch.

Yu Qiutang was very tired.

He knew what was going to happen next without much thought.

He knows some people in this village very well.

All the principles that can be practiced and the rules that can be followed in the cultural camp and the field of civilization will appear pale and insignificant in the face of this most primitive stupidity, and will have no fighting power at all.

He was just waiting for the storm to come.

This feeling of depression and irritability made him feel anxious and restless, and a sense of hostility surged from the depths of his consciousness.

In a blink of an eye, Wang Xiaolu's mother rushed over, followed closely by his father.

The woman was only wearing her autumn clothes, not even a cotton jacket. The cold weather could not stop her excitement, and she ran as fast as a mad dog off the chain.

"Clap clap clap!"

When she got to him, she didn't say anything. Instead, she grabbed Wang Xiaolu and beat him up.

The child's face soon swelled up into red bumps after being slapped.

Wang Xiaolu did not struggle and let his mother vent her anger until the first wave of anger came out. The woman began to grab Wang Xiaolu's ears and curse him breathlessly.

"Who did you learn this trick from? You stole the money from my house. I wasn't paying attention and you, a little thief, ran away with it. Don't you know that this is what we saved for half a year? Do you have any conscience, you little beast?!"

As she spoke, the woman became furious again and kicked Wang Xiaolu hard in the butt.

I don’t know if it was because the cotton pants were too thick in winter or if Wang Xiaolu was just strong, but he remained silent. He was kicked around by his mother like a rag doll, not knowing how to dodge.

He waited until the woman was tired of kicking before he gently patted the dirt off her butt.

But he still stood there, looking as if he would rather die than surrender.

The woman's anger subsided for a moment, and she snatched the money away, counted it quickly, and finally felt relieved.

She stared coldly at Wang Haofeng and Yu Qiutang, and her gaze finally stopped on Yu Qiutang.

"Did you instigate my son to steal the money?"

Yu Qiutang just looked at her calmly and said, "If you have nothing else to do, take your people and leave."

"I'm asking you something!!"

The woman grabbed Yu Qiutang who was about to leave and yelled at him, "Who are you? Our child was such an honest person, but you tricked him into stealing money. Tell me, why did you do this?"

"open!"

Yu Qiutang pushed the woman away.

He didn't like other women touching his body easily in the first place, he had an instinctive aversion, not to mention the woman in front of him who was disgusting no matter how he looked at her.

In his eyes, this woman looked like a monster. Not only was she ugly, she also smelled bad. He didn't want to get involved with her even for a minute.

But when he shook her off, the woman refused to let go and instead took advantage of the situation to get closer to him. His patience finally reached its limit and he hit the woman's arm with his other hand.

"Ah~!"

The woman felt a sharp pain in her arm and subconsciously retracted her hand. She wanted to raise her hand again to scold, but she couldn't lift her arm.

"Someone is hitting someone, Yu Qiutang is hitting someone!" The woman did not disappoint Yu Qiutang, she behaved like a shrew indeed.

Yu Qiutang said to Wang Haofeng: "Leave it to you to handle. I'm afraid I will beat her to death."

Wang Haofeng stuck out his tongue and gave a helpless smile. Seeing Yu Qiutang enter the room, he had no choice but to step forward and grab the woman's arm to pull her up.

"Take the money and the child back quickly, and don't cause trouble here. You are naked, you are freezing, and you will be laughed at."

"Wang Haofeng, are you guys in the same group? You teamed up to bully us. You are such a heartless person. You grew up with us, but now that you have grown wings, you forget our kindness and start to bully us with outsiders, right?"

Wang Haofeng was also speechless.

Seeing more and more people laughing at him on the street, he immediately pulled the woman up with force and said in a deep voice:
"That's enough. Don't make trouble for no reason. We agreed at the beginning that you would give the person a reward for saving him. Have you given it to him?"

"You still remember that incident, why don't you remember it forever? You just brought my baby back. If you didn't bring her back, she wouldn't have come back on her own. You have never seen money before, it's 100 yuan, I won't give you a dime."

"mother……"

Wang Xiaolu finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Shut up, the adults are talking, what does it have to do with you? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here, you little bastard, I'll settle the score with you when I get back."

Seeing his mother like this, Wang Xiaolu gritted his teeth, turned around and ran home quickly.

"Look at what you have done to my child. You dare to glare at me and say you have no influence on him. If you don't explain it to me today, how can I let it go?"

After the woman saw the child go back, her temper did not calm down, but became even more excited, and she almost jumped while speaking.

Old Wang next to him had a dull expression and said nothing. No matter what his wife did, he stood by like a wooden stake.

Wang Haofeng was also annoyed by this woman.

His expression changed. "Just go back when I told you to. Why are you acting crazy here? Aren't you ashamed?"

"Why should I be ashamed? It's not like I cheated someone's child to steal money..."

"Don't keep saying you're stealing money. We need this little money from you. If you say anything else..."

"I said, what can you do to me?!"

Wang Haofeng was completely furious and turned to Lao Wang and said, "Do you care about your wife?"

Old Wang looked haggard and shook his head awkwardly.

Wang Haofeng saw that the man was completely useless, so he stopped talking and directly grabbed the woman and prepared to throw her onto the village road.

But as soon as he pulled, the woman suddenly fell to the ground and refused to get up. No matter how hard he pulled, she was like a dead pig.

This also stumped him.

"You...if you were a man, I would have beaten you to death. You are so shameless. So what do you want?"

"You did something bad, but now you're biting back and asking me what I want. You're bullying me because I'm a woman, and you're bullying my man because he's useless. What about my little child?"

Wang Haofeng: “…”

He was totally at his wit's end.

He simply threw the woman to the ground and said, "If you want to stay on the ground, just stay there and freeze to death."

After saying that, he turned and went into the room, closing the door.

"You're going to hide and not come out, right? I'll freeze to death at your doorstep, and you'll all be murderers!"

The woman was still shouting outside.

Everyone in the room was annoyed. Several women stared at Yu Qiutang. Seeing his face turn black and his fists clenched tightly, Yu Chunmei subconsciously grabbed his hand.

"Tangtang, we won't get angry with a woman like that. If she were a man, it would be fine, but what can you do to a woman? She's like a dog-skin plaster. It's annoying to death."

My sister's hands are very cold and have frostbite on them. Although she has been doing small chores in the kitchen recently, she has been in contact with cold water all the time, and the frostbite on her hands has recurred.

Yu Qiutang hadn't noticed it before, but now that he saw it, the anger in his heart immediately dissipated a little.

Looking at Xiaoyun and Chunju, they were also very frightened.

These girls usually see Yu Qiutang as being very gentle and rarely see him get angry.

A little scared.

Yu Qiutang suddenly felt that this was not right.

There is no point in bringing this kind of anger home. Wang Xiaolu's mother is that kind of rubbish person. She is not best at reasoning with people.

Instead, they drag ordinary people into their bandit logic, then take advantage of conflicts in values ​​and rely on their powerful shamelessness to defeat others.

"Qiutang, don't pay attention to her. She will leave when she says she is tired." Yu Qiujiang advised from the side.

Yu Qiushi ate half of a white flour bun in one gulp, chewing as he said, "What if she doesn't leave?"

"Qiushi!"

Yu Chunmei shouted helplessly.

Yu Qiushi disagreed, "What I said may be true. We have someone like her in our family."

Everyone was stunned.

Then I realized that he was talking about his mother.

I suddenly felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to say.

Strictly speaking, Chen Meidi is actually a bit better than this shrew.

Chen Meidi had to at least save face, and she had her dignity. No matter how serious the matter was, even if it caused a huge uproar at home, she would still pretend to be very graceful in public.

For example, at the last Hongmen Banquet, she had actually been criticized very severely by Yu Dejin, but for the sake of her own face and Yu Dejin's face, she was only a little angry and did not pester Yu Dejin or make a big fuss in front of the brothers.

In other words, she still has some bottom line.

Often in many things, she might secretly blow some evil wind on the pillow.

"What should we do now? This guy keeps making noises and it's so annoying!"

Wang Haofeng walked in and took over the conversation.

Yu Qiutang's temperament had calmed down by then, and he joked, "Why, isn't she your relative? Can't you handle it?"

"I am unlucky to have such a relative. A tree lives on its skin, and a person lives on his dignity. You say she has no shame, so what can I do?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw his helpless look.

"Haofeng, sit down and eat too. Let her shout outside. If we ignore her, she will be bored."

Yu Chunmei said, greeting.

"Okay, Sister Mei, let's eat. I haven't even taken a few bites of the food yet. I'm afraid it's all cold. Hey, where's the meat? Why is there not a single piece left?!"

Yu Qiushi couldn't help but lower his head.

Everyone laughed again.

However, at this moment, a shout suddenly came from outside the door, "Yu Qiushi, why don't you go home? Are you going to die outside?!" (End of this chapter)
