Chapter 129 New Year's Eve (2)
"Why are you here?"
Zheng Lin just returned home with a smell of alcohol when he saw Zheng Shuiqing and Niu walking out of his parents' house and frowned unconsciously.
Zheng Shuiqing has always been afraid of his elder brother who is rude and faints in the daytime. Now that he is asked, he feels relieved and says stutteringly: "Big, brother, you are back."
Seeing that he answered the question irrelevantly, Zheng Lin immediately ignored it and walked over to the couple and stepped into their parents' room. He saw the old man Zheng leaning against the head of the bed at a glance, feeling in a bad mood.
Meng, who was wiping his wife's hands and feet with his back to the door, noticed someone coming in. He thought he was his third son who had been entangled for another afternoon, turned his head and said impatiently: "What are you here to do when you are back? Are you not afraid of you, A Lin, it's you who are back!"
When she saw that it was her eldest son, Meng's expression calmed down. When she smelled the wine on her eldest son, she asked with concern: "Have you drunk a lot of wine? Mom is going to make some soup for you to warm your stomach." As she said that, she was about to stand up and go to the kitchen to cook soup.
"No need, mom, I haven't drunk much." Zheng Lin reached out to stop Meng Shi, and his eyes fell on the old man Zheng who was half open: "What's wrong with Dad? He was fine when he came back. Did the two outside make Dad angry?"
Zheng Shuiqing, who had just stepped into the door with one foot, rushed in without waiting for Meng to say anything and explained: "Brother, no, we were not angry with my father. This afternoon, my father fainted and the doctor I hired for him. If you don't believe me, please ask your mother."
As he said that, he urged Meng again with a begging look on his face: "Mom, tell me, hurry up and tell my elder brother that my father has become like this, it's all my second brother who makes him so angry."
Zheng Lin didn't believe this statement very much. He glanced at Zheng Shuiqing indifferently and turned to ask Meng: "Mom, is the second child really angry about his father?"
Meng looked at the third son with a complicated expression, and nodded according to his words: "The second child came to the door in the afternoon and talked a lot to your father, which made your father sick. It was the third child who went to invite the doctor, and the doctor said that your father had nothing to do."
Zheng Shuiqing, who thought he had escaped, breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Niu next to him, and thought that his wife was still smart, otherwise the eldest brother would have already come to the door.
Zheng Lin did not miss this scene, his eyes were a little cold, and he said to Meng: "You and Daddy, rest first, I'll go to my second home."
Before Meng could speak, he said to the lucky couple Zheng Shuqing and his wife, "If it's okay, you can go back too. Remember, don't learn from the second child!"
After saying that, without waiting for the couple to react, they left the room with great strides.
"A Lin" Meng hurriedly chased out. She didn't want her eldest son to settle the score with her second son: "You come back, don't do anything during the New Year!"
"Mom, I'll talk to my second brother, don't worry." Zheng Lin's voice came from outside the yard. When Meng chased out of the gate, he could no longer see his eldest son.
"Oh, this child" knew that he could not catch up. Meng sighed and turned back to the house. Seeing that the second son and second daughter-in-law were standing still, their tone became fainter: "The eldest son will definitely attack the second son. If you don't want to be beaten, go back soon. Don't come back again if you have nothing to do in the future."
Zheng Shuqing and his wife's faces became very ugly, but they knew that it would be difficult for Meng to speak for them just now. If they still refused to leave, they would be the ones who would be beaten later.
"Well, let's leave first, we will come to help on the New Year's Eve dinner." Under Niu's hint, Zheng Shuiqing suddenly thought of taking advantage of the reason for having the New Year's Eve dinner, and then hurriedly ran away with Niu without waiting for Meng's words.
"Wait" Looking at the couple who were running for life, Meng had no time to say anything to refuse, so she could only watch them run out of the gate and disappear after turning a corner.
Zheng Shanqing rented a broken house in Qianzheng Village next door, which was a little distance from Shangzheng Village. However, Zheng Lin walked quickly and appeared at Zheng Shanqing's doorstep after walking for a moment.
The house that Zheng Shanqing's family rented was not good. Without a yard, the door was not mentioned, and the earthen walls were also dilapidated. Not only was it far worse than the Zheng family I lived in before, but even the Zheng Shuiqing's family was not as good as that.
The couple is not a diligent person who can clean up the house after moving in.
I just repaired the leaky roof. What did I look like when I moved in? Now I still look like.
When Zheng Lin pushed open the empty door and walked in, the five members of the Zheng family were drinking noodles around a small table with no corners. When the family saw Zheng Lin, except for the little tiger head who was just two years old and didn't recognize anyone, the remaining four people responded in a different way.
"Uncle!" When Duohua and Datou saw the uncle who had not seen for a long time, they were very happy and quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks and knocked them into their arms, holding their uncle's legs and shouting sweetly.
"Big, big brother" Zheng Shanqing and Ma stood up as if they were terrified, looking at Zheng Lin in fear, not even knowing that the chopsticks in their hands fell off.
Zheng Lin ignored Zheng Shanqing and his wife, touched their niece and nephew's heads, took out a small box of pastries like a trick, and the siblings in harmony said, "You take your brother to the room to play, and don't come out no matter what you hear later, okay?"
Takuhua and Datou couldn't hear the deeper meaning in the uncle's words, and their attention was attracted by the delicious pastries. They couldn't help but keep lit their little heads: "Yeah, let's listen to uncle."
"So good!" Zheng Lin smiled and put the pastry in her niece's pocket, asked her to take her brothers to the room, and then walked over and closed the door that was not soundproof.
"Big, big brother" looked at Zheng Lin who turned around and looked bad. Zheng Shanqing was extremely scared and kept retreating: "I, I was wrong, you, don't hit me."
"Bang!" Zheng Lin punched Zheng Shanqing in the stomach without saying a word. Before Zheng Shanqing screamed, his other hand quickly covered his mouth: "This punch was for his father, you unfilial son!"
Seeing her husband being beaten, Ma subconsciously wanted to scream, but was frightened by Zheng Lin's cold eyes. He immediately reached out to cover his mouth, shrank his neck and retreated to the side.
"Bang!" Another punch was hit in the same position: "This punch was hit for my mother, which made her feel scared!"
After two punches, Zheng Shanqing's face turned pale and his body became so painful that he wanted to beg for mercy. He wanted to say that he knew he was wrong, but he had no chance to speak.
"Bang!" The third punch fell again, and Zheng Shanqing rolled his eyes directly: "This punch is a warning to you in advance. If there is another next time, I will hit you one punch after another, and you will be killed!"
After saying that, Zheng Lin let go of Zheng Shanqing's hand and looked at him lying limply to the ground, unable to even scream.
"The head of the family, the head of the family, how are you doing? How are you doing?" Ma dared to speak out, cried and pounced on Zheng Shanqing, shaking his body hard.
Zheng Shanqing covered her stomach so much that she couldn't speak. When she was shaken, she felt that her internal organs were shaken. He wanted to scold Ma fiercely and told her not to shake, but the pain in her abdomen made him unable to speak at all.
In fact, these three punches looked heavy and did not cause any trauma to Zheng Shanqing's inner body. Not to mention anything else, he would not be able to knock Zheng Shanqing out of bed for the sake of his three nieces and nephews who need to be supported by their own father.
These punches were very sensible, and they were specifically targeting places that could hurt but would not cause internal injuries. Zheng Shanqing seemed to have lost half his life, but when he woke up, he was no different from before.
But Ma didn't know this, thinking that her husband had been beaten and looked at Zheng Lin resentfully: "If you have a genital, you beat all five of us to death, otherwise if I had something to do with the head of the family, I would definitely not let you go. Even those two old people who are immortal, I would curse them to die every day."
"Bang"
Zheng Lin had no hobby of beating women, but Ma's words made him angry and he shattered the already shaky table with one palm.
"ah"
A piece of fragments flew up, and by chance it hit Ma's mouth, which immediately bleeded Ma's mouth. Ma's screamed, and his lips swollen at a visible level of the naked eye, as if two lean meat strips were hung.
He looked at the couple on the ground coldly. Zheng Lin was about to leave, and one foot stepped on the broken bowl.
Looking down at the sparse noodles that were sprinkled on the ground, with only vegetables but not much noodles, I couldn't help but think of the nephews whom I just saw. Compared to before he left home, his two small faces were clearly smaller, which shows how many days he had been.
A child has never eaten enough.
Thinking of this, Zheng Lin looked at Zheng Shanqing and his wife even more disgusted. He stepped on Zheng Shanqing's leg, which had just recovered, and his tone was colder than the weather outside: "If you have time to find trouble for your parents, you don't want to find a way to live your life. It's useless to keep your hands and feet. It's better to waste it, so you can save all day long and worry about things you shouldn't think of!"
