"Alright, don’t take your anger out on Guoqing. If it really doesn’t work out, you can report it to the brigade commander, you can’t explain away things even if you’re in a hurry."

When Mrs. Zhou saw her younger son’s eyes brimming with tears from the pain, she knew her husband had hit too hard. She glared at him irritably before gently rubbing the bruised area on her eldest son.

"Mom, can you tell Dad to ease up? He’s like a savage!" As soon as Guoqing heard his mother chime in, he whined with a snarky tone, which earned him an angry glare from Dad.

Frightened, he stepped back and received a couple of eye rolls from his mother.

"You little brat, when your Dad scolds you, don’t you get it? You ungrateful little rabbit, it wasn’t easy for your mom to bring you into this world. We give you the skin and hair we cherish, your Dad and I don’t want you taking risks, and you still talk back?"

Seeing his parents both calling him a ’little rabbit,’ Guoqing’s face fell, and he muttered resentfully in a low voice:

"Are these little rabbits born from an old rabbit?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou who was sitting next to him couldn’t help but laugh and twist his arm gently, which made Guoqing overreact with a yelp:

"Mom, Mom, gentler please, don’t swell up your own hand! Otherwise, the little rabbit will feel heartbroken."

"You child!" Mrs. Zhou was amused by her youngest son and laughed. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"Dad, if you have something to say, just say it. The great man Zhuge Liang once said, ’one’s wisdom is limited, collective wisdom is endless’!"

Just then, there were three people in the room. The little sister saw that Dad looked upset, finished eating, washed the dishes, and went back to her room to read.

Their little sister, seeing Dad had the same effect as a mouse seeing a cat—she was terrified of being in the same space as him.

In fact, this couldn’t be blamed on the little sister’s insensitivity. It was because Zhou Weihai once got so angry that he beat Zhou Guohai until his butt was swollen and bruised, colloquially referred to as ’blooming buttocks.’

He couldn’t sit down properly for half a month. Since then, whenever the little sister saw Dad, she would be reminded of his angry face. Girls are naturally timid, who wouldn’t be scared? It was already an achievement that she didn’t wet herself from fear.

Zhou Weihai, as the Civilian Defense Captain, truly had a strong grip and a hot temper, easily angered but would listen to Mrs. Zhou’s advice.

"A child’s place is at home, go back to your room and read your books." Would Zhou Weihai discuss matters with his slow-witted son? He’d rather talk to the village head.

Thinking of this, he realized he should indeed explain the situation to the village head first. Although the incident had only happened two days ago, it was the uncertainty that worried him.

The thought made Zhou Weihai restless, and he said to Mrs. Zhou, "Wife, look after the kids, don’t let them run around, I’m going to visit the village head."

"Okay, I got it." Mrs. Zhou saw the worry on her husband’s face, and because he hadn’t clarified his discoveries to her, she didn’t take it seriously.

Once Guoqing saw Dad had left, he immediately cozied up to his mother and asked her what was going on.

"Mom isn’t sure what’s going on either. Just at the edge of the village by the Seventh Branch of the Xie Family, the Zhou Family, and the Hus, a few families have lost poultry for two days in a row, causing a ruckus here with your father. These village officials have no money and plenty of troubles!"

"Mom, don’t repeat that in front of Dad. He wouldn’t be pleased if he heard it."

"Off you go, as if I don’t know your father’s temperament. We still don’t know what’s going on, so don’t go running off causing trouble, understand?"

"Mhm, I understand." Guoqing acknowledged, though his mind was on other things.
