Not long after Su Cheng left, the second uncle returned home with anger all over him.
Eating a plate of peanuts and wine on the table alone, thinking about Su Cheng's attitude towards him, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
I always want to do something to vent my anger.
He glanced at the feather duster hanging on the wall, and then glanced at the rooms of brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.
He immediately picked up the feather duster, entered the room, pulled the two of them out of the bed, and then whipped them.
Suddenly, in the silent night, the wails of the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu rang out in the middle courtyard.
The neighbors who live in the middle courtyard have long been accustomed to it. As for going to watch the fun?
He doesn't want to go out in the cold weather. Doesn't he feel good lying in bed?
Liu Haizhong's family can make trouble as much as they like, they are used to it anyway.
As for the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, they were all lying in bed sleeping because Su Cheng didn't want to see Liu Haizhong, but Liu Haizhong pulled them up and beat them up. Su Cheng didn't know this.
Even if he knew, he could only spread his hands and express that he was helpless.
…
In the backyard, Su Cheng returned home. The old lady was leaning on the bedside and taking a nap. The rare electric light was turned on in the room, which made the small room a lot brighter.
Hearing the sound of Su Cheng opening the door, the old lady opened her hazy eyes and said with a smile on her face,
"Hey, Seiko is back."
Su Cheng closed the door, walked to the bedside and sat beside the old lady and said,
"Grandma, from now on, if I come back late, you won't have to wait for me."
The old lady smiled and said,
"No problem!"
Then he tried to struggle to get up and get off the ground, but Su Cheng pushed him back and said,
"Grandma, it's cold, why do you want to get up?"
The old lady said dissatisfiedly,
"You smell like alcohol, I'm going to get you a cup of tea to sober up!"
Hearing what the old lady said, Su Cheng was a little surprised. The old lady was usually reluctant to eat, but there was actually tea in the house?
Su Cheng immediately asked,
"Grandma, where did we get the tea in our house?"
The old lady raised her lips slightly and said cheerfully,
"When the leader of the army visited me, the old lady, he brought such a small jar with him, and I hid it in the cabinet."
I bet your cabinet is Doraemon’s treasure bag. It was bacon before, but it’s tea this time.
Su Cheng thought sarcastically, then smiled and said,
"Okay, I'm going to take out your precious tea leaves and make myself a glass of sobering wine. Please don't bother."
After saying that, he went to the cabinet next to him and rummaged around. Under the guidance of the old lady, he found tea leaves in a small iron can from under several piles of clothes.
When he opened the lid, the tea leaves inside were well preserved, with flat and slender roots. They should be green tea. As for where they were produced, Su Cheng couldn't tell, and there was no writing on the jar.
Su Cheng took a few sticks and put them into the cup, poured hot water, the tea leaves stretched in the water, and a fresh fragrance of tea came.
Su Cheng took a sip and found the tea tasted fresh and refreshing. He thought the quality of the tea was not too low, so it was no wonder the old lady hid it so tightly.
After drinking a few sips of tea, I felt quite awake. At that moment, Su Cheng teased the old lady and said,
"Grandma, if you have any good things hidden in this cabinet, tell me secretly, and I'll bring you a pot later."
The old lady said arrogantly like an old naughty child,
"You thief, grandma, I have a lot of good things hidden away, so I won't tell you."
Then the two of them chatted for a few more words. It was getting late, so Su Cheng coaxed the old lady to sleep first.
And he, perhaps because he drank a cup of tea, was very energetic and not sleepy at all.
It was during this moment of complete silence that intermittent sobbing came from outside the house.
Su Cheng gently opened the door and looked outside the house. It was dark all around. Every household had turned off the lights and went to bed.
At this moment, the crying stopped again.
It won't be haunted, right?
Su Cheng was originally a staunch materialist, but time travel happened.
The somewhat ghostly legend is actually quite reasonable.
But after the founding of the People's Republic of China, ghosts couldn't become spirits. Maybe I was overthinking it.
When Su Cheng was amusing himself in his heart,
The whimpering sounded again,
In the middle of the night, intermittent whimpering sounds came from the yard, not to mention very scary.
Su Cheng plucked up the courage and walked in the direction of the sound.
At this moment, Su Cheng's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, reflecting the moonlight,
Finally, I found a thin figure huddled behind the fence in the corner.
As for the ghost legend, it seems that I have overthought it first.
Su Cheng walked closer and said with caution,
"Who's there?"
It was winter, how cold it was at night, and Liu Guangfu was only wearing a woolen sweater, huddled up with his hands on his feet,
Burying my head deeply in my knees, I couldn't help but cry when I thought of the sad place.
This is why Su Cheng heard intermittent crying.
When Liu Guangfu heard someone calling him, he raised his head, collected himself, recognized Su Cheng, and said with a choked voice,
"Brother Su Cheng, it's me, Liu Guangfu."
Su Cheng heard the voice, recognized Liu Guangfu, and asked immediately,
"Guangfu, what are you doing here without sleeping in the middle of the night?"
Then he saw Liu Guangfu's thin clothes, frowned and said,
"Don't squat on the ground. Come to the house with me first."
When Liu Guangfu heard this, he mumbled and followed Su Cheng into the house.
…
In the room, the two of them were sitting at the square table. Su Cheng poured a cup of hot water for Liu Guangfu and asked him to warm up first.
Then he took a coat and put it on him,
Because he was worried about waking up the old lady, Su Cheng looked at Liu Guangfu who was bruised and swollen from the cold and asked in a low voice,
"Guangfu, stop crying now and tell me what's going on?"
Liu Guangfu looked at Su Chengdao with tears in his eyes,
"Brother Su Cheng, how can there be such cruel parents in the world? They are both born to the same mother. My eldest brother is a treasure, and my second brother and I are redundant. Whenever my father is in a bad mood, he will take care of me.
Two brothers venting their anger."
Speaking of this, Liu Guangfu wiped his tears and continued,
"Brother Su Cheng, you saw it at noon today. My dad came back from the factory and took it out on me and my brother because he didn't become the team leader of the workshop."
Then he lifted up his sleeves, showing off the purple scars on his arms and said,
"Look, these were all beaten by him!"
Seeing the bruises on Liu Guangfu's hands, Su Cheng frowned and wanted to get some medicinal wine to wipe it with Liu Guangfu, but there was none in the room, so he had to give up.
At this moment Liu Guangfu continued to choke and said,
"Tonight, my brother and I were sleeping soundly in the house. My dad didn't know what was going on. He came into the house with a feather duster and started beating us. No matter how much I begged for mercy, it was useless. I was
I couldn’t stand the pain anymore, so I ran out.”
When Su Cheng heard this, he finally understood why Liu Guangfu appeared in the backyard wearing a wool sweater. This matter had something to do with him, but in the final analysis, there was something wrong with Liu Haizhong's thinking.
At this time, Liu Guangfu's mood was obviously much better. He stopped crying and looked at Su Cheng seriously and said,
"Brother Su Cheng, how can there be such cruel parents in the world? My dad beats me every day, and my mom never says a word to me. Even tonight when I ran out of the house, my mom was still talking behind me.
My dad beats me as a matter of course, so don’t go back when you get better."
Then Liu Guangfu looked at Su Cheng with hopeful eyes.
