"Ah …" Niu Dazhuang's face turned red. Even if he was thick-skinned, hearing my teasing, he still blushed with shame. He forced a smile and said shamelessly, "Brother-in-law, my good Brother-in-law, I was wrong. I was short-sighted and didn't recognize Mt. Tai. You are a magnanimous person. Don't be angry. If you are still unhappy, you can hit me. If you really can't do it, I will slap myself."
Originally, Niu Dazhuang only said it casually. After all, the two elders were at the side. I was Liu Yuhan's boyfriend and we had just met, so my attitude towards them was very good. Niu Dazhuang didn't believe that I would make a fool out of him.
Unfortunately, he overestimated his own judgment. I waved my hand and said calmly, "Then, you slap yourself. If I don't tell you to stop, then don't stop. Otherwise, I will immediately break up with your sister."
Obviously, I said that just to scare Niu Dazhuang. I didn't really have the intention to break up with Liu Yuhan. I secretly glanced at Liu Yuhan. This woman was quite a troublemaker. She pretended to be panic-stricken. She looked like a little woman that could be abandoned at any time.
"Dazhuang, what are you waiting for? Whether our family's future is going to be a meteoric success or a simple life, it all depends on you." Liu Yuhan urged. These words gave Niu Dazhuang a pressure that he had never felt before.
However, he didn't think that Liu Yuhan was speaking carelessly. This seemingly ordinary young man in front of him indeed had the ability to decide the future of his family. So, after a slight hesitation, Niu Dazhuang started to slap himself.
A series of crisp slapping sounds resounded in the private room. The two elders looked distressed.
"Dazhuang, stop hitting yourself. Your face is swollen." Mother-in-law quickly stopped him.
"Mom, it's fine. Don't stop me. For the future of our family, I'm willing to kill myself!" Niu Dazhuang said seriously, revealing a trace of determination.
From the start, he didn't see that Liu Yuhan and I were performing a two-man act. Regarding my relationship with Liu Yuhan, not to mention him, even the two elders knew very little about it. Although Niu Dazhuang still didn't understand why I was so awesome, it didn't affect his worship. A person who had the ability to go to the Ouyang's house to shit and pee, could it be that he couldn't find a beautiful woman?
That was impossible.
Even if his sister was as beautiful as a flower, Niu Dazhuang didn't think she could calm my heart, so he was very cooperative.
The two elders were a bit angry, but they didn't dare to say anything. In fact, I also understood that Liu Yuhan had been wandering outside for more than ten years, while Niu Dazhuang was the complete opposite. Although his family was poor, he still treated him like a treasure. Perhaps the two elders thought that my actions were a bit rude and unreasonable.
"Sigh, Mother-in-law, don't blame me for being cruel. Dazhuang really needs to be taught a lesson. Don't think that he's slapping himself. In fact, I feel pain in my heart. If I'm not wrong, this brat isn't a good student at school. Those so-called awards and the teachers calling to praise him were all planned by him. He just wanted to deceive you, so that he could have more money to spend."
I went straight to the point. Since I said it so clearly, the two elders would definitely understand. However, regarding the drugs, after a short moment of hesitation, I decided to hide it for now. As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the more severe the responsibility. If the two elders couldn't take the blow, they might have a problem.
"Ah."
Indeed, just this matter alone was hard for them to accept. They looked at Niu Dazhuang with a questioning face. Niu Dazhuang became hesitant and didn't know what to do.
"Just tell them the truth. At this point, there's no need to hide it from them." I curled my lips. However, I was a little worried. If Niu Dazhuang revealed everything, it would be very awkward.
However, this guy was still very smart. He began to pour out his grievances again, saying that he had a girlfriend in school, and that the girl was vain. He could not coax her with just a little living expenses, so he could only find all kinds of excuses to ask for money.
The two elders were so angry that their faces turned red. Especially Old Niu, he picked up a plastic chair and hit Niu Dazhuang's head while cursing. "Idiot! The third year of high school is the most important period. It's fine if you don't study hard, but you still want to find a girlfriend.
You don't know any better! "Niu Dazhuang screamed in pain. He hurried to hide behind his mother-in-law. His mother-in-law felt sorry for him, so she asked Old Niu to stop hitting him. However, Old Niu didn't listen to her." Get away from me. Otherwise, you'll hit him too. "
Tears rolled down her face. "For so many years, we've been living like this. If it weren't for Old Niu's honest and straightforward character, she wouldn't have had to work so hard. In fact, when Old Niu was young, he was hardworking. He had the chance to become a village official. However, he didn't want to use his connections. He always thought that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to stand out one day. Just like that, he had missed many opportunities. The people who had worked with him in the past were all doing well. Only he stayed at home and farmed.
After passing the prime of his youth, Old Niu was disheartened. After suffering a few setbacks, he could only accept his fate.
That was why my mother-in-law had always kept this matter in her heart. Life was like this. Sometimes, if you didn't grasp the opportunity, you could easily regret it for the rest of your life. Normally, she wouldn't mention it. After all, it would hurt Old Niu's feelings. However, now that her son was being beaten, she couldn't stand it anymore. Of course, Old Niu's way of doing things was because he hated his son for not living up to his expectations. It was said that children were like a piece of flesh on their parents. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to fly into a rage.
At the very least, he had to give me an explanation. If I put myself in his shoes, Niu Dazhuang's previous attitude was indeed biased. That was why Old Niu was also helping me vent my anger.
"Ahem, forget it. It's fine as long as he knows his mistake. After all, he's just a teenager. How can he not make mistakes? As the saying goes, knowing one's mistake and being able to change is the greatest virtue. Dazhuang, I hope you can remember the pain this time. No matter if it's being beaten by your father or slapping yourself, hitting you isn't the goal. It's just to remind you to be a good person and turn over a new leaf!"
I insinuated. Actually, this fellow wasn't stupid. On the contrary, he was very smart. He just didn't use it in the right place.
To be honest, when I saw him getting beaten, I felt lucky. If the secret between me and my sister-in-law had been exposed, I would have had a much worse ending than Niu Dazhuang. I knew my father's bad temper very well.
Moreover, even if I was beaten half to death, I couldn't fight back. The most important thing was that I was afraid of seeing my parents' disappointed eyes. In this regard, I couldn't be as shameless as Niu Dazhuang.
