Hong Gu did not persuade Li Yuanwai. She was afraid that he would doubt her motives, so she did not insist. Instead, she secretly prepared some treasures and met with the fifth aunt of the county magistrate Wei Luoquan, asking her to stop Wei Luoquan from investigating Liu San's death. Wei Luoquan, like Minister Li, was extremely henpecked, so he only sent a few officials to symbolically record the confession. Hong Gu also gave Liu San's family a lot of pension and adopted Liu San's sister Liu Qi as her adopted daughter, bringing her back to Li Village to live. The Liu family was greedy for money and did not force the government to investigate.
Wu Song killed Liu San that night and escaped from Li Village. He was afraid of being sued, so he did not dare to go home. He hid outside for a few days and secretly went to the county government to inquire, but he did not see any official documents to arrest him. He thought that Pan Jinlian and Minister Li's wife did not report him, so he was relieved. However, he didn't know what Pan Jinlian would think when she saw him and that woman like that. Thinking about what he had done to that woman under impulse, he couldn't help but blush, but it was engraved in his heart. After all, it was the first time he had such an experience, and it made him feel ashamed yet unable to stop.
On this evening, Wu Song swaggered home after eating. He saw Wu Da bedridden and his face was dry as if he had not recovered from a serious illness. Ying 'er was waiting on him at the side. Wu Song was shocked and asked for the reason. Wu Da did not answer and only shouted,""You still have the face to come back? Kneel down!" He half-sat up and said something, but he couldn't stop coughing. Ying 'er hurriedly massaged his back.
Wu Song hurriedly knelt in front of the bed and apologized,"Wu Er came back late. Please forgive me, Big Brother!”
"Forgive me?" Wu Da pointed at Wu Song and scolded," If I forgive you, who will forgive me? Ying 'er, bring me the whip!" Ying 'er shook her head desperately but did not move. "What? Even you don't listen to me?" Wu shouted.”Ying 'er shook her head again and said," Ying' er wouldn't dare. Father, please calm down. Don't punish Second Uncle!"”Wu Da pointed at the wall and said,"Go quickly!"”
Ying 'er suddenly knelt down beside Wu Song and pleaded,""Father, Second Uncle hit me to save me! You can't blame Second Uncle. If you want to punish someone, punish me!”As she spoke, she started crying.
Only then did Wu Song understand why the martial arts university was angry. Looking at the body of the martial arts university, he seemed to be injured. He suddenly understood. It must be because he had beaten up a few hoodlums from the Zhu family's casino that day, and they had come to take revenge. Since he wasn't around, he gave the martial arts university a good beating and said,"So it was those scoundrels who did it. Wu Er will definitely not forgive them!”
"You, you still want to cause trouble?" Wu Da was furious. His hand that was pointing at Wu Song kept trembling. "That day, you beat up the people from the Zhu family's casino, but you ran away without a trace. Those people came back for revenge, but they beat me up like this. Fortunately, Ying 'er was not at home at that time. Otherwise, she would have been ruined by those villains! Ying 'er, quickly bring me the whip!"
Wu Song was concerned about Wu Da's injuries and got up to check. However, Wu Da ordered him to retreat and he knelt down. Ying 'er only shook her head, but she knelt down and did not get up, crying non-stop. Wu Song saw that she was pitiful and said," Ying 'er, I'm fine. Quickly go and get the whip. Don't anger your father!"”
Ying 'er agreed with tears in her eyes. She got up and took off the whip on the wall. After hesitating for a moment, she handed it to Wu Da. Wu Da took the whip and whipped Wu Song's head. With a slap, a bloody scar appeared on Wu Song's face. Ying 'er's heart ached, and she hurriedly rubbed it with her small hands. Wu Da raised his whip and was about to hit again, but because his body was too sick to support it, he could not exert any strength. He handed the whip to Ying 'er and shouted,"Come, help me teach this unfilial descendant of Wu clan a lesson!”
"Father," cried Ying 'er,"how dare I hit Second Uncle? It's treason!"”
"Are you trying to piss me off?" Wu cursed. Hurry up and fight!" He coughed repeatedly and tears flowed down his face. He was in extreme pain.
Wu Song said," Ying 'er, go ahead. Second Uncle is not afraid of pain!" Your father is injured. Don't let him suffer anymore.”
Ying 'er nodded with tears in her eyes. She stood up and took the whip."Second Uncle, forgive Ying 'er for being disrespectful!" He waved his whip and it landed on Wu Song's back, but it was soft and powerless. Firstly, she was small and weak, and secondly, she did not use any strength at all.
"Harder!" Wu Da was not satisfied and shouted sternly.
Wu Song also said,"Ying 'er, use your strength. Don't pity Second Uncle!" Second Uncle harmed your father to such an extent. He is indeed a guilty person and would rather be beaten to death by you!”At this moment, he was filled with guilt towards the martial arts university and spoke emotionally.
"No!" Ying 'er shook her head and said," It's not Second Uncle's fault. It's Ying' er's fault. Ying 'er shouldn't have gone to sell eggs that day…" She could no longer speak and her tears were out of tune. It was obvious that she would rather beat herself than beat this second uncle whom she relied on so much.
"Hurry up and fight! Do you want to die?" Wu Da urged.
Ying 'er gritted her teeth, and the whip landed on Wu Song's body. Wu Song did not feel much pain, but Ying' er herself was in unbearable pain. She suddenly abandoned the whip, covered her face, and ran out.
"Big Brother, Wu Er is ignorant. I've implicated you again!" Wu Song said.”
Wu Da saw that Ying 'er had run away, and he could not do anything. He could only sigh and cry. At the same time, he criticized Wu Song to the point that he was not completely healed. He talked endlessly about everything that had happened since he was young, how Wu Song was insensible, how he caused trouble, how he had worked hard, and how he had raised him. Wu Song could only nod and admit his mistake. When the martial arts university was tired, they ordered Wu Song to return to his room and stay there obediently. Without his permission, he was not allowed to go out. Wu Song could only comply.
Therefore, Wu Song only stayed in his room for days. Every day, Ying 'er brought him food. He asked about his elder brother's injury and said that it was getting better day by day. A few days later, Ying 'er said that her father could go out to sell baked cakes. On this day, Wu Song sat in his room. When he thought of the Zhu family's gambling den, he couldn't help but be filled with hatred. If he tolerated them like this, they would be even more lawless. However, he didn't want to bring trouble to his eldest brother and Ying 'er. After thinking about it, he couldn't swallow his anger and instantly made a decision. If he wanted to fight, he would beat them until they were obedient. Otherwise, he might as well kill them all and let Wu Song pay with his life.
With this in mind, he could not sit still. He got up and pushed the door open, locking it from the outside. His house was not like those rich families. There were no tiles on the roof. Instead, it was covered with wood, firewood, and a layer of mud. If he broke out of the roof, he would destroy the house. If Big Brother knew, he would be angry again. After pondering for a moment, he saw through the crack in the door that Ying 'er was sleeping on the table. He pulled out his swift knife, used the tip of the knife to push open the door bolt, and gently pushed the door open.
Just as he was about to leave, he felt that it was inappropriate. In this way, his eldest brother would definitely think that Ying 'er had deliberately let him out and would inevitably punish her. He walked over and gently picked Ying' er up. Ying 'er opened her eyes faintly and looked at Wu Song. She called out sweetly,""Second Uncle!" A cute smile appeared on her face before she closed her eyes again.
