Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

After listening to this, Zhang Xingwang asked his aunt to wait for him for a while, rushed into the house, slapped 30 yuan at his impatient uncle, and said:

"This is my Zhang family paying you back, with interest. But I also want to take back what you owe my aunt."

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed over and punched him in the impatient face. The uncle-in-law who was attacked had not yet reacted. He just felt his nose getting hot, followed by a pain. He covered his nose and quickly stepped back.

Seeing this, the anger in Zhang Xingwang's eyes did not diminish at all. He reached behind him, took out a brick from the space, and hit his brother-in-law with it. The other party blocked it with his hand in panic and fell down.

Zhang Xingwang stepped forward and started to beat him up. As time went on, the uncle-in-law on the ground changed from cursing and blocking to crying and begging for mercy.

Two minutes and fourteen seconds later, Zhang Xingwang clapped his hands, stood up slowly while breathing heavily, and sat down on a stool beside him.

Looking at the uncle who was still curled up and screaming, he silently lit a cigarette and shouted:

"Get up, let's talk."

The figure on the ground did not stand up or reply. He could only be seen shaking his head weakly. It seemed that this uncle-in-law was also a bully.

Just as Zhang Xingwang was about to rub his sore arm, his uncle-in-law stood up and ran out when he was not paying attention. However, he fell down after taking only two steps.

Seeing this, Zhang Xingwang ignored his cries for mercy, pulled him back and kicked him a few more times before making him lie flat completely.

Suddenly, he felt some movement behind him. Zhang Xingwang turned around and saw his cousin covering her mouth and looking at him with fear. She then glanced at the moving figure on the ground and seemed to be relieved.

The cousin was also standing far away in the yard. Although I couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, he didn't have any intention of stepping forward to stop it. It seemed that this cousin's behavior was not like that of an ordinary little boy. He didn't care about such a big thing happening at home. I guess he must have some psychological problems.

In fact, where he couldn't see, the aunt was leaning against the courtyard wall, listening to her uncle's screams, covering her face and silently shedding tears, with a blank look in her eyes.

Zhang Xingwang was about to say something when a group of villagers suddenly came into the yard. Seeing the miserable state of his uncle, the leader loudly questioned Zhang Xingwang:

"Who are you? How dare you come to our village and commit murder?"

The guys behind him looked eager to try.

Zhang Xingwang put his hands behind his back, silently took out a brick from the space, and said to the leader:

"The person lying on the ground is my uncle. I am from my mother's family and I came here to visit."

The leader's face was full of excitement after hearing this, and he realized that this was the support of his mother's family. He was stunned for a long time, thinking about the uncle's usual behavior, and then he told the villagers to leave. Before leaving, he pointed at the uncle on the ground and said seriously:

"I'm the village chief. You can come to visit, but don't cause any trouble, okay?"

After hearing this, Zhang Xingwang looked at the serious village chief and his uncle lying on the ground, and replied:

"Got it. I'll take him to see a doctor later."

The villagers left. Zhang Xingwang ignored the people underground and turned around to pull Xiaogu in. He said to her:

"Aunt, do you still plan to live with him?"

The young aunt did not reply, her eyes were full of struggle, and after a long while, she said:

"Go on."

Zhang Xingwang was silent for a long time. Then he said:

"I see. Then we, aunt and nephew, will raise him together in the future."

Then he went back to the house, pulled up his uncle from the ground, asked for the address of the barefoot doctor, and carried his uncle, who was sweating in pain, out. Looking at his arm, it was probably broken when he blocked the brick.

I dragged my grinning uncle all the way to the barefoot doctor's house, knocked on the door, and a tall old man came out. He looked very strong. In the November weather, he was only wearing a thin vest.

With his muscular body exposed, he looked more like a bandit than a doctor.

Zhang Xingwang was stunned for a moment. He said to the old man very politely:

"Uncle, my uncle fell and was injured. Can you please take a look at him?"

The old man turned around and looked at his uncle, whose face was bruised and swollen and whose arms were drooping. He nodded inexplicably and said quietly:

"It was indeed a heavy fall."

The uncle-in-law also looked at the old man with fear, keeping his head down and saying nothing.

The old man then chatted with Zhang Xingwang while checking the injury of his younger uncle. He learned that the old man's surname was Zhang, an arrogant Zhang. He said that when he was young, he was an expert in fighting in the surrounding area. Later, he became a barefoot doctor after he got married and had a daughter.

During the chat, he said without hiding anything:

"I am an old man and only have one daughter. My son-in-law fell twice before, and then several of his brothers also fell badly. After that, I was more careful when walking and never fell again."

Zhang Xingwang immediately became interested after hearing this, but now was not the time to discuss in detail, so he did not ask any further questions. He paid fifty cents and went back with his uncle whose arm was bandaged.

When they got home, their aunt had already prepared dinner. Zhang Xingwang greeted them and sat down to eat. Everyone was silent at the table, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. The aunt looked up several times, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.

In the end, he just looked at his uncle and asked if Zhang Xingwang was injured.

Halfway through the meal, Zhang Xingwang suddenly raised his head and asked his cousin softly:

"You gave your brother a piece of candy?"

The little girl was still a little afraid of him at this moment. When she heard what he said, she just nodded timidly at Zhang Xingwang.

Zhang Xingwang looked at the little girl. Her clothes and hair were neat and tidy. She didn't look like she had been bullied. So he didn't ask any more questions. He said to his aunt beside him:

"Aunt, I want to stay at your house for a few more days."

My aunt agreed, but my cousin was silent from beginning to end. He went back to his room after dinner and didn’t even pay much attention to his father being beaten. Either he was used to seeing family members getting hurt, or he was just a problem teenager.

After finishing the meal, Zhang Xingwang put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said calmly to his uncle who was still struggling with the chopsticks with his left hand:

"Uncle, you have to take a good rest after dinner. You still have to go to work in the afternoon."

Upon hearing this, the uncle silently raised his pig-like face, pointed at his hanging right hand with his left hand, and whispered:

"I can't go to work here."

After a pause, he said in a slightly tougher tone:

"Don't go too far. I think we just need to chat. We are a family after all."

"I think you can work."

The aunt showed a trace of reluctance, but Zhang Xingwang waved his hand and said to her:

"Aunt, I think I can take care of the family affairs on behalf of my mother's family, and my uncle can also ask his family for help. If you think I'm not doing well, I'll go back and ask grandpa to come over."

After listening to it, the aunt thought for a while and replied:

"I'll go with him later."

"You've worked enough. It's time to switch jobs with your uncle and take a break. Little sister shouldn't go either. She's just a kid and can only earn a few work points."

Then he said it was settled. Zhang Xingwang knew that he had to be tough on this matter, no matter whether his uncle-in-law went out to work or not, even if he went out to find his family or friends.

My aunt and cousin were definitely not allowed to earn work points anymore. Only my cousin was left. Zhang Xingwang thought about talking to him in the evening to see if there was still a need to rescue him.
