Xu Daokai is already sixteen, and after the Chinese New Year he will be seventeen, which is not too young.
Xu Daoqing looked at him, indescribably strange.
"I was thinking the same thing as you at first," Xu Daoqing sighed. "I always felt that someone else had caused me harm. My legs hurt so much that I couldn't sleep many nights, so I could only get through it by thinking about it.
The more I thought about it, the more I realized something was wrong. Chun Su did die miserably, but if she didn't have the intention to harm others, how could she end up like that?
The same goes for my mother. No one wants to do anything to her. As long as she lives in peace, isn't she still a third-bedroom wife?
She also said that she could not let go of the death of her third sister, and that she would go to extreme lengths and even kill the whole family before being sent back to her hometown.
And me, how could I have broken my leg if I hadn’t been a prostitute and gambler?
Now you are the only good person left among us. You can't be stupid again.
I am your biological brother and I will not harm you."
"You don't need to say anything anymore. I've already done the job. I also know that I can't escape. Those people are smarter than ghosts and will catch me out soon." Xu Daokai snorted coldly and said, "It's a pity that those two
This little kid is too lucky."
"Third Young Master, Fourth Young Master, some other gentlemen would like to invite you over." Someone spoke outside the window.
Xu Daoqing glanced at Xu Daokai and knew that this matter could no longer be hidden.
Originally, Xu Daokai alone would not be able to escape unscathed.
"I understand, I'll be there in a moment." Xu Daoqing greeted out the window.
Then he whispered to Xu Daokai: "Listen to me. When you get there, kneel down and admit your mistake. I'm interceding for you. I'll give you a beating at most, and I'll be in jail for a few days."
It won't kill you because of this, after all, the two children are fine.
But from now on you must not have such thoughts again, otherwise you will get killed sooner or later."
Xu Daoqing's words were already very pertinent. He knew that he couldn't hide this matter, so instead of doing this, it would be better to admit his mistake happily.
Being beaten and scolded is naturally inevitable, but at least it will give Xu Daokai a chance to change his ways.
Seeing that Xu Daokai was still reluctant, Xu Daoqing couldn't help but become anxious.
"Fourth brother, don't be ridiculous! I am an elder brother for your own good! No one will forgive you for being like this. Do you want to never have a good life from now on?"
"It's useless!" Xu Daokai's face was distorted, "Can they let me go if I swallow my anger? Cutting flesh with a dull knife is worse than death!
Even if you say you forgive me, you will definitely be on guard against me for the rest of your life!
Rather than that, I might as well commit suicide and at least be happy!"
The north wind was howling outside the window, and it was about to snow.
It was a little cold in the room, and Xu Daoqing's residual leg began to feel sore again.
"That's it, you blame everything on me." Xu Daoqing said, "Even if I asked you to raise the scorpion, you don't know what to do with it.
I brought the scorpion over early this morning. You asked me what I was doing? I told you to leave it alone.
No matter what others ask, just say these. If they ask anything else, just say you don't know. That's enough.
If you shake your head when you ask and don't know, the gods can't blame you."
Xu Daokai didn't expect him to say that, and was a little dazed for a moment.
It took him a long time to say, "How can that happen? I can't hurt you."
"You're still talking about getting involved or not. I've already got such a moral character that a dead pig is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water." Xu Daoqing smiled bitterly, "I'll take this matter off. When spring comes next year, you can ask the uncles and the others to let you go east."
All shops are doing business.
Don’t think about managing money and affairs from the beginning, start small and solidly, and you can always earn a place for yourself.”
"Third brother..." Xu Daokai's voice was choked with sobs.
"Be obedient and give me the scorpion." Xu Daoqing reached out and touched his brother's head, "Listen to me and stop thinking about revenge. If you live a good life and become more knowledgeable, you won't get into trouble again.
.
When the time comes when you can’t write two characters of Xu in one stroke, if the Xu family is well, you will naturally follow suit. If you are well, the Xu family’s faces will also be bright.”
The two maids left and came back. They didn't dare to get too close, but they also heard the voices of the two brothers arguing and mentioning scorpions.
After hearing this, Mr. Xu was so angry that he cursed: "Beasts! Call the two of them! Are you going to rebel? Why do you only know that you are in trouble?!"
Then the two brothers Xu Daoqing came and knelt down as soon as they entered the room.
"I did what happened today," Xu Daoqing lowered his head, "I knew I would have to find out sooner or later, and I have nothing to say. I just want you to be happy."
"Are you still a human?! You actually harmed your own brother!" Mr. Xu was so angry that he threw the tea bowl and hit Xu Daoqing on the head.
The remaining tea was splashed all over his face, and the tea cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
"Father, it's all my fault! I was confused for a moment!" Xu Daoqing knelt there, motionless. "I was so angry that I always wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge.
My own legs and feet were inconvenient, so I asked Dao Kai to find a way to get some scorpions to raise. I told him that I wanted to use scorpion venom to treat my leg pain, and it would be more effective as the weather gets colder.
I also asked him to keep it a secret because I was afraid that my family would find out and not let me use it.
Dao Kai didn't know what I was thinking and thought that what I said was true, so he kindly raised it for me.
I thought today was an opportunity, so I asked him for the scorpion in the morning.
Later, the third aunt and the others came back, and everyone came to the front. While there was no one in the room, I walked in and scattered the scorpions on the bed.
So everyone is here, so I’m late, but my legs are not good, so being late won’t arouse any suspicion.”
When he said this, the three masters of the Xu family, as well as several wives and aunts, did not doubt it.
Because Xu Daoqing may indeed do this, after all, he was not a good person before.
"Dao Qing, you really shouldn't have done this. Who in this family has been sorry for you? We all thought you had reformed. Who would have thought that you would do such a vicious thing!" The eldest wife shook her head and sighed, she was really hateful.
Iron cannot become steel.
Mr. Xu was so angry that he could hardly breathe. None of the children Wei gave birth to made him worry.
He is both ignorant and vicious. He doesn't even know what to do.
"You can punish me no matter what. Even if you don't recognize me from now on, I won't have a single complaint." Xu Daoqing said, "Just don't worry about it. He is young and was deceived by me."
Xu Daokai, who was kneeling next to him, said nothing and just cried.
Xu Chunjun and Xu Lang looked at each other, not intending to expose them in front of everyone.
Of course they knew it wasn't Xu Daoqing, but if they exposed him, it would only make Mr. Xu even more angry. Secondly, Xu Daokai would be so anxious that he might jump over the wall.
After all, it's still a war against rats. Who said this is a family matter of the Xu family!
