In a daze, he seemed to hear someone crying.

He opened his eyes and shook his head violently.

He saw a small kerosene lamp lit on the table in the northwest corner, and the glass cover cast a dim filter on everything in the room.

There was a large bowl of sobering soup next to the bed.

Li Xiangnan knew that his mother had already fed him several mouthfuls of food silently.

"Please spare me..."

The rustling cries and noises were heard again.

Feeling much better, Li Xiangnan quickly jumped out of bed, put on his cloth shoes, opened the door and walked into the yard.

Zhang Jingyang came out of the room across the street, saw him, ran over to hold him, and asked, "Xiao Li, what happened?"

"I don't know either!" Li Xiangnan rubbed his temple, grabbed his shoulder, and walked towards the front yard.

After walking around a pile of firewood, I saw three people standing in the front yard.

Li Xiangnan looked towards the place where the sound came from with the help of the lights coming through several windows in the yard, and his figure exploded on the spot.

In the courtyard, Li Chaodong's hands were tied tightly to the pomegranate tree in the yard with a vine, his arms hanging high and he was wailing.

Under the tree, Li Yuanbei was sitting on a chair holding a long rattan stick, and there was a cup of tea on the bench next to him.

Sister Li Dingxi stood behind Li Yuanbei timidly with her neck shrunk.

Snapped!

Li Yuanbei slammed the cane in his hand to the ground and shouted, "Li Chaodong, do you know you are wrong?"

"Li Yuanbei, let me go, let me go, you little bastard, you devil, how did I offend you? What did I do wrong? Does it hurt? Let me go now!"

Li Chaodong struggled to fall down, trying to use his body weight to break free from the vines that bound his wrists.

When he found that it didn't work, he tried to push the tree with his feet, hoping to use the reaction force of the tree to struggle out.

Li Yuanbei stood still as a mountain, sitting firmly on the bench. He even picked up the teacup on the stool with his orchid finger and took a sip.

"Li Chaodong, you used to laugh at my elder brother, saying that he had no talent and could only live in the countryside and wait for death. Is that true?"

Li Chaodong's face changed, but facing Li Yuanbei's powerful force, he gritted his teeth and refused to admit it.

"Li Yuanbei, you are trying to force me to confess. That is absolutely not the case. You are trying to slander me! I, Li Chaodong, have never said such words, nor have I done such a thing..."

Snapped!

The cane hit the ground with a crisp sound. Li Chaodong immediately shrank his neck and the sound stopped abruptly.

"You're still trying to make excuses, aren't you? You really think I know nothing! Dingxi, has Chaodong ever told you this?"

Hearing this, Li Chaodong quickly shouted: "Dingxi, don't listen to your sister's nonsense. I didn't say that, right? You can't say that!"

Li Dingxi retracted his toes again: "Second brother, just admit it..."

Hearing what Li Dingxi said, Li Chaodong almost jumped up in anxiety, "You didn't tell your sister everything, did you? Okay, okay, I won't buy you a picture book..."

Snapped!

"hiss!"

This time the cane hit Li Chaodong on his butt!

The pain was so severe that veins popped out of his forehead, and beads of sweat suddenly covered his entire face and neck like green beans.

"Ouch, it hurts, Li Yuanbei, are you serious?"

Li Yuanbei took another sip of tea and said calmly, "Li Chaodong, Dingxi told me that you said a lot of bad things about Big Brother in the past. Do you think you did the right thing?"

"As a member of the Li family, not only do you not think about protecting the reputation of the Li family, you even slander your own people!"

"I'm ashamed of you!!"

"Stop talking!" Hearing these words, Li Chaodong felt his eardrums rolling like thunder. He glared and yelled, "Stop talking!"

"What?" Li Yuanbei smiled, stood up and dragged the cane around him, "Do you feel ashamed now?"

"Wow, wow, wow..." Li Chaodong fell under the tree, tears streaming down his face and crying loudly.

"Sister, how about...letting our second brother go?" Li Dingxi felt really sorry when she saw him like this.

"Bullshit! Make him admit his mistake!"

Li Yuanbei turned around and sat in the chair, drinking his tea calmly.

"Pfft! This girl's temper is really like me!"

Hearing a soft giggle beside him, Li Xiangnan, who was hiding at the entrance of the yard, turned his head and his face turned dark.

"Mom, you are not ashamed to laugh. When did you come?"

Zhu Qiuju covered her mouth and laughed, "I've been here for a while! I didn't mean to bother you!"

"With such a loud noise, I'm afraid they all came!" Uncle San's voice rang out.

Li Xiangnan twitched his ears and looked back. Wow.

Everyone was standing there, but Zhang Jingyang was gone.

"No, Mom, I didn't notice this girl Yuanbei before, but this time when I came back... I found that this girl is just like the devil!"

The goose bumps on Li Xiangnan's scalp were only beginning to dissipate.

At this moment, Zhang Jingyang came into the yard without knowing when, and suddenly shouted: "Hey, Xiaodong, come here, look here!"

Hearing the voice, Li Yuanbei and Li Dingxi turned around immediately, and even Li Chaodong turned away blankly with tears on his face.

Snapped!

A huge flash light suddenly lit up.

The moment in this small courtyard is frozen in an instant.

Li Chaodong: “???”

He was completely stunned, with a crying face stiff on his neck, and he looked dumbfounded.

"Brother, when did you come?"

Li Yuanbei keenly noticed Li Xiangnan standing at the gate of the courtyard and quickly called out to him.

"Uncle, aunt, mom and dad, why are you here too?" Li Dingxi also rushed out.

"???"

Li Chaodong, who was just dumbfounded, didn't even have time to wipe the tears from his face and was dumbfounded again.

But when he saw Li Xiangnan, all his defenses collapsed at this moment, and he cried out, "Brother, I was wrong!"

Everyone: "..."

"Brother, I was really wrong! I was really ignorant before. I said a lot of sorry things to you and did a lot of stupid things..."

"Ever since you went to Yanjing, I've been regretting it every moment!"

"I beg your forgiveness!"

Seeing Li Xiangnan standing out from the crowd, Li Chaodong's tears burst out.

"Chaodong! You are still young. If you know you are wrong, just correct it!"

Li Xiangnan smiled and looked at Li Yuanbei: "Yuanbei, can you go over and put Chaodong down now?"

"Brother, do you think this kid really knows he's wrong?"

Li Yuanbei pursed his lips and did not agree immediately.

"Chaodong!" Li Xiangnan looked at him with a smile.

"Brother, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! Yuanbei, please let me go!" Li Chaodong hung his head, admitted his mistake, and turned his head away, not daring to look at his second uncle, second aunt, third uncle and third aunt who were slowly walking into the field.

"You kid! You really hit me!"

At this time, Ji Qingfang walked over quickly, snatched the cane from Li Yuanbei's hand, grabbed her ear and said, "You hit me without restraint. What if you hurt Li Chaodong later?"

"Mom, he deserves it!" Li Yuanbei grinned and tilted his head, allowing his mother to pull his ears.

Li Fuqin secretly gave his daughter a reassuring look and said in a pretentious manner, "Yuanbei, look at you, you're acting like you're interrogating a criminal. How disgraceful! Can't you be more gentle?"

"Then I can't do it!" Li Yuanbei stiffened his neck and smiled secretly, but still said stubbornly: "I learned it from my second mother!"

"Hey, you kid!" Zhu Qiuju was so angry that she laughed.

Li Xiangnan, who was helping Li Chaodong untie the cane, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and quickly untied the rope.

"Brother, I was ignorant and a jerk before!"

"Now I respect you from the bottom of my heart and admire you! I will never say such nonsense again!"

"I swear!"
