Liu San and the others had forcefully fed Wu Da a belly full of cooking cakes. They searched their guts and vomited once, but it was not a big deal. Wu Song helped them back home. Even though the martial arts university was bullied by others outside, the moment they returned home, their aura immediately changed. They pushed Wu Song away and sat by the bed. They shouted,"Kneel down!"
Wu Song scooped a ladle of cold water from the water jar in the corner and handed it to Wu Da. He said,"Come, you've eaten so many cooking cakes. Your intestines are too dry. Drink some water first! Kneel for what? Don't do that!" However, he sat down beside the martial arts university, his face still filled with anger.
" You…" Wu Da pointed at Wu Song. He seemed to be very angry. His entire body trembled, and his lips trembled as he said," As the saying goes, an elder brother is the father." I have also sent you to school for a few days, and you are also very ethical. Why, do you dare to disobey me today?”Before he could finish his sentence, he was already panting. He drank a mouthful of cold water and seemed to choke as he kept hitting his chest.
"Alright, alright, I'll kneel!" The anger on Wu Song's face was gone, replaced by a look of helplessness. He got up lazily and knelt down in front of the martial arts university unwillingly."Big Brother, I'll listen to you. Don't be angry!”It seemed that he still respected this disabled elder brother very much. He said,"Big brother, if you tolerate them like this, you'll only encourage their prestige. They won't be able to live in the future. These people are paper tigers. They can scare people, but they don't have any real talent or knowledge. I'm not afraid!”
"Shut up!" Wu Da shouted and took another sip of water to adjust his emotions. "You want to have a good time. You beat him up with a few punches and kicks, but you want me to take the lawsuit for you. I've had enough of going to the yamen! We're a decent family. Can't you save some effort?”
"Big Brother, don't forget that I only attacked because I stood up for you today. How can you blame me?" Wu Song retorted.”
Wu Da sighed and softened his tone."Yes, you did stand up for me today, but what's the use? The world was like this. Can you be happy for a while, but can you be happy for a lifetime? Second Brother, our parents passed away early, leaving us to rely on each other. I'm also disabled and I'm bullied wherever I go. Bullying was bullying, but could he be bullied to death? You're not young anymore. You collude with those scoundrels all day long. Who can support you for the rest of your life?”
" I can support myself, I don't need you to care…" Wu Song was a little annoyed and retorted.
"If you don't cause trouble for me, you'll be burning incense!”Wu Da interrupted him." You don't need me to care? You were arrested by the yamen and locked in prison. If I don't care about you, who will? Those scoundrels of yours can only enjoy life together, but not through thick and thin. When things are good, they're all good. When things are bad, they run away without a trace. In the end, aren't they still relying on you, this half-crippled elder brother?”He wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and continued,""You think our family is poor, but there's nothing we can do about it! Do you want to die just because you're poor? Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you're poor? You want to stand out, but on what basis? How can you stand out if you don't even do a proper job? Sigh, Second Brother, just live your life in peace. Find a job, find a wife, and sell baked cakes with your brother. Although you don't eat well, you won't starve to death…"
"No!" Wu Song decisively refused." In this life, I won't marry anyone else except Huizhen! Big brother, if you force me, I will die!”As he spoke, he raised his head high and his gaze was firm. Although he was still kneeling, his aura was not inferior to that of a martial arts university.
Wu Da stood up, his face ashen. He was so angry that he couldn't speak. He went to the wall and took a leather whip and whipped Wu Song's back. It seemed that he was going to enforce the family law. Wu Song straightened his back and showed no fear. The whip landed on his bare arm and immediately left a bloody mark, but he didn't even frown. Wu Da whipped him five or six times in a row and seemed to be tired. He panted heavily and put his hands on his hips as he scolded,"You still dare to mention Huizhen? If you didn't insist on getting along with Huizhen, would I be bullied today? Are the people of the Li family easy to provoke?”
Wu Song still held his head high and did not show any signs of yielding. He argued,"Big Brother, can you not be unreasonable? What does my relationship with Huizhen have to do with you being bullied? Liu San loved to bully good people. Which citizen of Qinghe County hadn't been bullied by him? If you continue to be so weak, he will bully you sooner or later!”
"How is it unrelated?" Wu Da whipped Wu Song again and shouted," Who doesn't know that Huizhen's father accepted Minister Li's betrothal gift and wants to betroth Huizhen to Butler Liu San? It's because you and Huizhen are usually unclear that Liu San vented his anger on me. Today, he deliberately made things difficult. Otherwise, why would there be such a disaster?”
Wu Song said,"That's Huizhen's father's wishful thinking. It has nothing to do with Huizhen!" Since her father had accepted the betrothal gift, she would let her father marry Liu San!”
Wu Da saw that he could not defeat Wu Song, so he suddenly abandoned the whip and collapsed on the bed, wailing loudly. As he cried, he said,"I'll beat you up, you heartless bastard! I suffered such a great sin because of you today, but not only did you not appreciate it, but you even blamed me for being weak. How preposterous! "It's not that I don't fight with others for everything and swallow my pride to live. How could you live until today…" The more he spoke, the sadder he became. The more he cried, the sadder he became. In the end, he could no longer speak.
Wu Song frowned. What he looked down on the most was a grown man who would wail and howl at the drop of a hat. He had the intention to leave him alone. After all, he was his own brother. He really couldn't bear it. Hearing that it was troublesome, he could only pretend to give in. He stood up and helped Wu Da up."Big brother, don't cry. I'll listen to you!”
Wu Da was still crying, but he lowered his voice and said,"How can you listen to me?"
Wu Song said," I'll go out and look for work now. At least I'll make up for some of my family expenses. I won't cause trouble for you anymore!" Don't be angry anymore. If you're angry, your body will be damaged. Our family will have no backbone.”He thought that since he was making his brother angry at home, he might as well go out and find a place to get drunk.
The martial arts university seemed to be dissatisfied and continued to cry. Wu Song knew what he meant. He was usually bullied outside and did not have a pillar of support in his heart. He often attributed all this to Wu Song's insensibleness. At this time, what he wanted to see the most was Wu Song's guilt and gratitude towards him. Although this was a little self-deceiving in his heart, he still felt good about himself. Wu Song sighed and said," Big Brother, it's all my fault today. You should punish me!" Father and mother left early, and our family is all dependent on you. It's really hard on you! If it wasn't for your sacrifice, how could I, Wu Song, live so long and grow so tall? " If it weren't for me, Big Brother would have gotten married and started a business long ago…" Wu Song was embarrassed to say these lies. Even he felt his face turn red. Fortunately, Wu Da was only focused on crying and didn't see his expression.
As expected, Wu Da stopped crying and said,"It's good that you know this! Second brother, it's not that big brother likes to criticize you, but it's okay for big brother to work a little harder. As long as I see you behave well, big brother will have an explanation in front of father and mother…"
Wu Song held back his patience and listened to Wu Da ramble on. In fact, he had already stopped listening to a single word.
