C16 Father and Mother Beat Him up Together

Bai Feng found himself in a tricky situation, but no one seemed to care about his thoughts. He couldn't just shamelessly stay with his four younger brothers in the main house, yet he really didn't want to get involved with the Third Branch either.

The Third Branch couple had Zhao Weizu advising them, so they definitely wouldn't suggest sending the kids to work in the mines. They would first demand the savings and the older children before anything else. After all, Bai Shengli and his wife wanted their kids to get an education.

Last night, Shen Heqiu had told him, "Wait until your aunt takes out the money and tempts them. Then you take the money and refuse to give it. Insist on going out to work, no matter how much they scold or hit you. Just hold your ground. Then you just wait."

He was waiting for the Third Branch couple to make the first move. What he didn't expect was that Bai Feng would only just start, and Xiaohong would jump right in. She was thrilled, thinking it was Bai Feng's idea to go work, so she quickly went along with it.

"Going out of town means hard labor. As his aunt, I can't be at ease. Bai Feng and Bai Liang are grown and strong. Working in the mines doesn't require any skills; even a fool could do it..." The main house treasured Bai Feng and Bai Liang, but she made them sound like fools.

As she spoke, Bai Shengli's face grew darker by the moment.

"Since it's under our name, the money should come back to us. We'll save it for them to use when they get married," Xiaohong said, her eyes lighting up at the thought of the large sum. "Aunt can save money, and so can I. When the time comes, I'll save your wages too."

Bai Yuanchao chimed in, "Yeah, we need to make sure the second branch continues the family line. Bai Feng, just work for a couple of years, and you'll be able to get married. Excited?"

"Excited, my foot!" Bai Shengli shouted, grabbing an enamel mug from the table and hurling it across the room.

Bai Yuanchao was taken aback. "Big brother, why are you hitting people?"

The joy he felt when he thought the third branch had a conscience was now replaced by deep disappointment and heartache.

Bai Shengli lunged at his brother, and the two started wrestling on the floor.

"Big brother, what are you doing? Are you crazy?! Help!"

"Bai Yuanchao, I was blind to trust you! I thought you were a decent person! You're scheming against Bai Feng, and now Bai Liang too!"

Bai Qiaoqiao was startled by her father's sudden aggression. It was the second time she'd seen him hit someone...

But then, she snapped back to reality. Her father was a family-first kind of man, so in the past, no matter what trouble Bai Yuanchao got into, he would endure it and clean up the mess, even if he was deceived.

It was precisely because his family meant so much to him that he reacted this way.

Zhao Xiaohong screamed, "Murder! Murder! What are you standing around for? Go stop him!"

With that, she grabbed a chair and aimed to hit Bai Shengli, who was pinning her husband down.

"Dad!" Bai Qiaoqiao exclaimed.

If that chair came down, her dad would be done for!

But just then, Lin Yuefen, like an enraged lioness, leaped forward and tackled her sister-in-law to the ground.

Bai Qiaoqiao was speechless.

The mom she remembered from her past life was quiet and composed, a stark contrast to her goofy dad. Though she came from humble beginnings, once the family became wealthy, she carried herself with such grace that she never seemed out of place among other high-society women.

Who knew she could be so fierce?

Mom, you're amazing!

Take down that awful woman!

Lin Yuefen fought with a silent ferocity, unlike others who would curse and shout while brawling. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Xiaohong was howling in pain, and even her father, Zhao Weizu, was caught off guard.

Bai Qiaoqiao's face was flushed with excitement, but suddenly, she was swept up into someone's arms.

She thought it was Bai Feng, but when she turned her head, she realized it was Shen Heqiu. The room was already in chaos, and Shen Heqiu quickly scooped up Little Fatty, moving away from the fray.

He directed Bai Feng, "Hold them back."

Bai Feng wasn't a fool. He knew a scuffle between family members wasn't anything serious. The two older folks were no threat, so he easily blocked Zhao Weizu.

"Dad! Dad, help!"

Zhao Xiaohong had never been hit like this before! She couldn't rely on her husband; he was getting beaten even worse than she was!

The two older men, Bai Yuvliang and Bai Yuvtian, were just bags of bones, trembling as they stayed out of the way, afraid a single hit might take them down.

Zhao Weizu, though cunning and wealthy, was short and barely weighed a hundred pounds soaking wet. Blocked by Bai Feng, a young man, he was both angry and anxious, resorting to shouting, "Are you trying to kill someone? Your family is out for blood! Get out of my way! I'll call the cops on you!"

Bai Qiaoqiao laughed like a blooming flower, "Who cares about a family fight?"

As soon as she said it, she clammed up, glancing nervously at Shen Heqiu. Shen Heqiu looked at her with a half-smile. His eyes were so captivating... Being so close, Bai Qiaoqiao found herself momentarily dazed.

Suddenly, the scuffle between Lin Yuefen and Xiaohong shifted, ending up right at Shen Heqiu's feet. Shen quickly stepped back, holding Bai Qiaoqiao. The movement was so swift that Bai Qiaoqiao's little head bobbed, and she accidentally planted a kiss on his cheek.

Bai Qiaoqiao: "!!!"

Shen Heqiu didn't seem to mind, keeping his eyes on the ongoing fight. Yet, his hand, almost as if it had a mind of its own, reached up to pinch Bai Qiaoqiao's cheek. Yep, she was the chubby little girl everyone loved to pinch.

In the end, Bai Yuanchao got beaten nearly senseless by his brother, and even Xiaohong was left looking like a madwoman after Lin Yuefen was through with her. Afraid of another round, they ran off crying.

Zhao Weizu, with a furious expression, pointed at Lin Yuefen and said, "You just wait, this isn't over!"

Lin Yuefen wasn't intimidated; she always faced challenges alongside her husband. At that moment, Uncle Bai Yuvtian, trembling, said, "Yuefen... you should be careful. Zhao Weizu knows a lot of people; he might send some thugs after you."

He wasn't entirely bad, just scared and not in favor of the couple's impulsive fighting. But he still cared about his younger relatives.

Bai Shengli looked a bit worried, glancing at Lin Yuefen. Lin Yuefen reassured him, "Uncle, don't worry. From now on, I'll always go out with Jinlan."

Shen Heqiu chimed in, "My grandpa's family learned martial arts. My mom could take on three men at once."

Bai Qiaoqiao was puzzled, "???"

Then how did she end up getting bullied by her daughter-in-law?

Seems like a strong punch is no match for a couple of crocodile tears... Poor Mrs. Mao.

Bai Yuvliang was furious, exclaiming, "Great, just great! You've chased them off, now what about the five sons of the second branch?"

Bai Shengli looked at Lin Yuefen.

She was the one who managed the money at home.

Lin Yuefen spoke slowly but firmly, "We'll take care of them. All five of them."

Bai Feng said, "I'll go find work..."

Lin Yuefen cut him off, "Quiet, it's not your decision to make."

In that moment, Bai Shengli looked at his wife and was moved to tears.

How did he get so lucky to marry such a wonderful woman?
