Chapter 306: You Are a Great Sinner
Shen Meng furrowed her brows; hadn’t Wu Xianglan always been able to keep Lu Jiahe in check? Why had they suddenly started fighting? Since this morning, one could tell it was severe—like their brains would be beaten out. In fights between men and women, it is usually the women who suffer, and even though Wu Xianglan was formidable, she was no match for the robust laborer, Lu Jiahe.
"Why did they suddenly start fighting? Over what?"
"Wu-wu-wu, Dad wanted money and asked mom for it. She didn’t give him any, so today he didn’t go to work and instead stayed home rummaging through the money mom had hidden. I and my little sister tried to stop him but we were hit too. When mom returned from work, my sister and I told her what happened, and then they started fighting."
Yong Qiang spoke through sobs, his little face pinched like orange peel with two deep bruises on his forehead, making it clear the children too had been hit.
"Mingyang is at home watching the younger siblings, I’ll take you and Yong Qiang there to check on things."
"Oh!"
Mingyang and the other children sat aside, not even glancing at Yong Qiang and Yong Li, having endured bullying from these two before. Even though the relationships between the two families were okay now, they still did not show any warmth towards this brother-sister pair, and Ming Kai was visibly quiet every time he saw them.
Yong Qiang and Yong Li knew their older siblings did not care for them; normally, they would not go over to play; this time, however, their mother was beaten so badly that they had to call for help, otherwise, she might have been beaten to death.
