Wang Debao prepared four dishes and one soup, and then went out to buy a pound of steamed buns and some sesame seed cakes, when he happened to meet Xue Mei and the others coming back.
Some of the palm prints on Xue Mei's face disappeared, but her face was still swollen. However, after seeing Wang Debao, her smile was bright.
Chen Nuo was also smiling, but his smile was a little forced, and his young face was full of unconcealable sadness.
"Is it done?" Wang Debao asked.
"Well, let's go back and talk." Xue Mei said happily, patted her coat pocket, and took the staple food from Wang Debao's hand.
When Chen Nuo saw her mother's hands leaving the bicycle handle, she hurriedly took the bicycle and held it up.
Wang Debao looked happy. It seemed that things were going much smoother than he thought. He originally thought that Xue Mei, with her injuries and two young children, would have to wait two or three days to get the divorce.
It fell out, but now it seems that Aunt Xue got the divorce certificate in one morning.
So awesome!
Wang Yun jumped down from Chen Nuo's arms and threw herself into Wang Debao's arms, shouting: "Brother, Aunt Xue praised me and said that I performed well."
Wang Debao laughed, picked up his sister, and said as he walked: "Xiaoyun is so good, let's have delicious food for lunch to celebrate."
Wang Yun suddenly became even happier. She held Wang Debao's neck with both hands and said coquettishly: "Brother, you are so kind... What should we eat for lunch?"
Wang Debao's heart trembled. In his memory, ever since he was kicked out of the house by his uncle's family and the brother and sister lived on the streets, his sister had never acted coquettishly with him... until now.
Because for the past six months, Wang Debao has been in a bad mood and has a bad temper. He has never spoken kindly to his sister. Although he has not hit anyone yet, he still curses her every day... When she thinks about herself facing her, she has become skinny.
When Ruchai, the severely malnourished sister, yelled at her, Wang Debao felt ashamed.
Really, every time Wang Debao in his previous life thought of this scene, he couldn't help but burst into tears and wished he could cut himself... This was the regret he blamed himself for the rest of his life.
But now, a few days after he was reborn, his sister finally hugged his neck affectionately and began to act like a baby.
At this moment, Wang Debao's face was filled with happiness, and the smile on his face was as bright as the sun. Both mother and daughter, Xue Mei and Chen Nuo, were stunned.
"Brother, let me ask you, what are you having for lunch...Why are you laughing?" Wang Yun didn't wait for her brother's answer. She supported Wang Debao's shoulders timidly, looked up at her brother's face, and found that he was smiling brightly.
.
Wang Yun was immediately confused. What's going on? Did she say something funny? Or was I making a joke?
Have it?
There's none?
Wang Debao's eyes were a little moist. He rubbed his sister's still yellow hair and said: "Xiaoyun, don't be so cautious in the future. I have been cruel to you before and made you suffer. I apologize to you. I'm sorry... or you can fight me."
I'll slap you a few times, otherwise I'll feel uncomfortable."
Wang Debao could have restrained himself originally, but as soon as he said these words, memories came back to him and he couldn't hold back his tears.
It's not because Wang Debao has no control, but because Wang Debao feels too guilty about his sister. This has been his nightmare for decades in his previous life.
"Brother, I don't blame you. Don't scare me. You have to be nice. I'm scared!" Wang Yun was frightened. However, while she was talking about being scared incoherently, she hugged Wang Debao's neck tightly.
, nestled in Wang Debao's arms.
Wang Debao instantly remembered that when he was reborn, his mind was not very clear. At that time, Wang Yun's little body was trembling with fear, but she bravely stood in front of Wang Debao, trying to stop the creditor's relatives from continuing to beat Wang Debao.
What did Wang Yun say at that time?
My parents are both dead. Now I only have this brother. He has lost a lot of blood. Please save him...
At that time, Wang Yun cried hoarsely: As long as you save my brother, I will sell my blood and kidneys to pay you back!
This sentence deeply hurt Wang Debao at the time. Looking back now, the feeling of having his soul pierced still hurts his heart.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyun, your parents are gone, but my brother is here, and he will protect you, I swear!" Wang Debao gritted his teeth and said: "If my brother scolds you again or fails to take good care of you, you will go
Slap my brother in the face to death, that's what I said."
"Brother, don't say that, I'm afraid... I will be obedient. If I don't hit you, I won't beat you even if I die." Wang Yun said with tears in her eyes, but she hugged Wang Debao even tighter.
Chen Nuo held the bicycle and stared blankly at the two brothers and sisters, with deep envy in his eyes... She really wanted to have a brother who loved her, loved her, doted on her like this, or a father!
In a moment of trance, Chen Nuo even unconsciously imagined the image of Wang Debao as her father and brother in one.
It's a pity that her father only drinks alcohol, beats people, and humiliates her. He will call her shameless and a loser when he sees her eating a little more food. The word father has always brought her only fear... She longs for lack.
of fatherly love, but as much fear as longing.
Chen Nuo woke up and lowered his head with some inferiority.
"Go back to the house and talk!" Xue Mei interrupted the brothers and sisters. Her eyes were red and full of tears, which stayed on her scarred face, causing her to hiss and inhale the cold air.
Only then did Wang Debao notice that the boss and his wife who were selling steamed buns on the roadside, as well as the street visitors who were queuing up to buy steamed buns, either had red eyes or sighed sympathetically, so that the originally noisy environment around them suddenly became much quieter.
.
Wang Debao quickly apologized and walked home with his sister in his arms.
Xue Mei was carrying steamed buns and sesame cakes, Chen Nuo was pushing the bicycle, and the mother and daughter followed closely behind.
There were low voices of discussion and sighs behind them. The fear and alienation that the neighbors in the community had previously felt about Wang Debao's pursuit of Hou San were suddenly broken.
At this time, people suddenly realized that the life experience of Wang Debao's brother and sister was really pitiful. If Wang Debao, the elder brother, was not tough enough and responsible, the brother and sister would have been bullied to death... So, can we blame Wang Debao for overreacting?
?
I lost my parents, I lost my job, and all the money I got from selling my job was used to pay off my debts... That's like losing everything.
If you want to stand up in society, how can you not be ruthless enough?
Of course not! Everyone knows the truth!
Besides, why didn’t Wang Debao go after others? Just go after Hou San?
At this time, an old man said harshly: "I really don't blame Xiao Wang for this. Two of my chickens were stolen by that bastard Hou San. He still refused to admit it. I even smelled it in his house."
It smells like stewed chicken! Such a scourge should have been sent to the northwest to be sieved... Why hasn't he been severely punished for so long?"
Someone raised his head, and others immediately began to curse.
It can be seen that Hou San is indeed hated by gods and ghosts, and few people in the entire community like him. After all, most people have suffered from Hou San to some extent.
As for Hou San not being severely punished, it is simply because this girl is very smart and never does bad things or crosses the line.
"Go to Director Li to react. Hou San is such a scourge. We can't just let him go. We must suppress him now while we are cracking down. Otherwise, what will happen if he gets worse in the future? Who can control him then?
?”
I don't know who said this in the crowd.
The lively discussion just now suddenly fell silent.
Of course it's okay to scold him behind his back, but if a real person reports it... that's okay, but if he can't kill Hou San, he will have a deadly feud with that scourge.
After a while, a middle-aged man suddenly walked out of the crowd and said, "I know where Director Li's home is. I'll go find him to report the situation."
At this time, someone who knew the inside story said quietly behind his back: "Hou San has set his sights on Lao Cao's daughter and follows him on the way to and from work every day. Lao Li and his wife are forced to accompany their daughter to and from get off work every day... This How can a horse guard against a thief for a thousand days? Now Hou San is not doing anything, just following, but if one day he is negligent and the scourge really does something, what should he do?"
Upon hearing this, the neighbor who had a daughter at home couldn't stand it any longer. After a moment's hesitation, he raised his legs and followed Lao Cao.
Anyway, there is a leader. Director Li must give an explanation today. If Hou San’s scourge is not eliminated, no one in the entire community can feel at ease.
The others looked at each other in confusion, and followed suit one after another... If they could complain, they would do so, and if they couldn't, they would just watch the excitement. This chapter has been completed!
