Chapter 148 The Fight
Wu Zhong lived in the north of the village. The house was built on the land which was enclosed by the village chief in the early years, so the house was a little remote, but the yard was very wide and open.
Every year on the first day of the New Year Wu's family would get together, which was the rule that Wu Xiyuan's grandfather set down when he was alive. Later no matter what happened between the two families, at least they would put on an act to get together on that day.
When Wu Chuan and his family reached the door, Wu Zhong's family had already waited to welcome them.
When they saw them, they greeted them warmly, as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Wu Zhong's wife, Mrs. Huang, took Liu Cuihua's hand and said to her, "You're finally here! Your big brother has been talking about you guys coming over today since this morning, and he's been looking at the door several times."
Although Liu Cuihua was a bit dissatisfied with his son, she also know to pretend to be kind on the surface and smiled, "We also miss you! So we woke up early this morning and came here directly."
There were many people in Wu Zhong's family, with two sons and three daughters. Three daughters have been married, and they would return on the second day of the New Year.
Today only his two sons were at home. The eldest son, Dazhu, was a simple farmer without any intelligence.
The second son, Erzhu, was also sent to the school by the old family. As to learning ability, he couldn't compare with Xiyuan, but compared to other children, he was in the upper level.
Originally, in the February of the New Year, he would participate in the county test with Wu Xiyuan. However, no one expected that Wu Xiyuan was beaten badly in the head.
Wu Xiyuan excelled in Erzhu since childhood. Now Erzhu knew that Xiyuan wouldn't excel him anymore, so he held his head high. He would like to tell everyone that Wu Xiyuan had provoked bad guys outside, so he was beaten badly in the head.
That was why Liu Cuihua was unwilling to contact his family.
Everyone came to the hall, while the children were asked to play outside. Therefore, the house seemed to be less crowded.
If it was before, Wu Xiyuan would not be able to sit still, but now he had changed inside. Being dumb and cute with his wife and his mother was still acceptable to him. If he was going to fight with a group of brats, he was not able to give up his old face.
He quietly sat aside with one hand tightly holding Su Jiuyue's hand, like coming to a strange place and being frightened.
Su Jiuyue was also keenly aware of it, so she took his hand and patted it on the back to express her comfort.
Wu Xiyuan smiled secretly, and his heart was full of joy.
Others would never know the joy of being a little fool.
They wouldn't treat themselves as true guests in Wu Zhong's family and just waited for lunch. There was just one daughter-in-law here, so they may be too busy to get everything done.
Therefore, Su Jiuyue also wanted to go to the kitchen to help, so she told Wu Xiyuan, "I'll go to the kitchen to help them to cook, so you just sit here and don't make any trouble."
"Xiyuan is very good. Xiyuan will not mess up!" He was very firm in his words.
After receiving his promise, Su Jiuyue walked to the kitchen with great satisfaction.
Erzhu was a year older than Wu Xiyuan and would be eighteen after the New Year.
But he was high-minded and arrogant, thinking that if he could get a Tongsheng, he would meet a better family when they talked about his marriage in the future.
He heard that Wu Xiyuan bought a child bride before, but he did not care, and even some despise him.
But today, when he saw his wife, he was completely uncomfortable in his heart.
He was stupid like that, but still married such a good-looking girl?
Look at the people his mother introduced to him earlier. All of them are big and round and even stronger than him. Did he look for a wife or a brother?
As to Su Jiuyue, look at the body, the face, and it could tell from her youth that she would be a beauty in the future. If he slept with her, he would make out her all night. It's a pity to marry such a fool.
He came to sit next to Wu Xiyuan, but Wu Xiyuan subconsciously looked at him sideways, and then rolled his eyes to him, turning around and only leaving him a back of the head.
It was good to be a fool and just roll his eyes at those who he didn't like.
He didn't get along well with Wu Erzhu since childhood. Every time someone said a good word about Xiyuan, Erzhu always jumped out and refuted two sentences.
Wu Erzhu also did not expect him to react in such ways, so he immediately got angry.
"What do you mean by that? Why are you still ignoring me?"
Wu Xiyuan did not pay any attention to him, but Wu Erzhu thought he could not be angry with the fool, so he stabbed him in the back with his elbow, "Hey, fool, you're not too lucky, huh? You married such a beautiful wife! What a waste!"
Wu Xiyuan frowned immediately, but Erzhu still chattered on, "Look at that breast. Although she is still young, after two years..."
Wu Xiyuan could not stand it and directly give back a punch.
Although Wu Xiyuan was a year younger than Wu Erzhu, he was taller than Erzhu by half a head. He rode on Erzhu, pressing and beating him. Erzhu could not even resist.
Wu Xiyuan was no more courteous to him, and he wanted to do it a long time ago.
He should deal with Erzhu with cunning in the last life, which was less happy than in this life to beat him with his own hands.
The commotion here attracted everyone, so Wu Dazhu and Wu Zhong, hurriedly came over to pull them apart.
When Wu Xiyuan pulled away from Wu Erzhu, he also kicked Wu Erzhu hard in the buttocks.
Wu Chuan was worried that his elder brother would punish Xiyuan, so he asked him angrily in advance, "Xiyuan! What are you doing? Why do you fight with your cousin during the New Year?"
Wu Zhong and other people also looked at him, but Wu Erzhu, who had just been helped up, hurriedly said, "He's a madman! He just hit someone for no reason at all! We invited you to our home for dinner, but you hit me! Get out of here! You are not welcome in my house!"
Hearing his words, Wu Chuan's face completely darkened.
It was heartbreaking to see his own son's tears rolling in his eyes, but he held his chin up like he was right.
And look at that bad boy of the old family. All the adults are here! What kind of asshole was he talking about? He deserved to be beaten!
His son had never fought with others, and he didn't take back even teased by the village children in the past.
This time, in his opinion, it must be the problem of that little brat Wu Erzhu.
In the kitchen, Su Jiuyue also heard the commotion outside. Tao'er hurriedly ran into the kitchen, "Granny! Little aunt, third uncle, and second cousin uncle are fighting!"
Su Jiuyue and Liu Cuihua immediately became anxious, and hurriedly put down the work in hand and ran towards the hall.
Upon entering the door, she saw Wu Erzhu, who had been beaten up, and Wu Xiyuan, who looked aggrieved. Su Jiuyue hurriedly walked over and took his hand, looked him up and down, and found that he was fine before she was relieved.
