Chapter 007: Protecting the Younger Brother of the Rong Li

Rong Pinggui pulled his son over and said: "Quickly apologize to Guanguan."

"Compensate for your bowl." He threw the still-burning cigarette butt into the soup, picked up the flashlight that was on the ground, had just smoked, his throat a bit hoarse, "He has left."

He said: "I do not know you"

He made a sound of acknowledgment

Wang Yuelan was amused and said: "Look at what you are saying, isn't it normal for children to play and roughhouse? Besides, didn't your Rong Guanguan also push my son? I haven't even asked him to apologize yet"

The little head lifted: "Hmm?"

Do not hit or harm others, do not respond to violence with violence. He spoke these two 'do nots' with an air of detachment, as if he were an outsider, and added, 'Even if the tools are handed to you, do not fall from grace'

The girl named He Tong, feeling somewhat impatient, put down her chopsticks and said, "I am full"

The snot bubble popped, and Rong Xiaochuan blew another one

Rong Xiaochuan has been completely stunned

Rong Li raised her eyes, her double eyelids not very prominent, with a gently inward curve, resembling a pair of almond-shaped eyes even more delicate than those of a girl, containing a clear autumn water, yet not deep.

As the door opened, a strong light shone in

Wang Yuelan's eye was pricked, she raised her hand to shield it and squinted to look at the two men: "What brings you two here?" She glanced outside at the large and small figures, "Is there something you need?"

I will not take action

Wang Yuelan is usually quite bold, how could she be intimidated: "What, do you still want to hit my son?"

At that moment, someone knocked on the door

It is all the fault of Rong Guanguan

Wang Yuelan asked at the door, "Who is it?"

Rong Xiaochuan was so frightened that he cried out loudly

Is my brother afraid that I will hit Rong Xiaochuan with a bowl

The military passes are secure

Missing three pieces ! It feels uncomfortable !

No charge

Wuwuwu... Rong Xiaochuan has even blown bubbles from his nose, "I'm sorry, wuwuwu..."

Oh

Rong Guan stared at the snot bubble and sniffed his own nose: "Please do not scold my brother anymore in the future"

She is Wang Yuelan's niece, He Tong

Outside the courtyard, the dog barked twice before falling silent. The beam of the flashlight pierced through the entire alley, while the autumn wind rustled, sweeping the leaves to dance in the air, drifting from the dark night into the white light. The fragrance of osmanthus from someone’s yard was carried by the wind, adding a touch of poetic melancholy to this desolate autumn.

Wang Yuelan immediately pulled her son back in terror, looking at Rong Li with a guarded expression. The next moment, she saw him take out a crumpled red banknote, pressing it down with a sharp fragment.

He clearly does not like the sound of children crying, and there is a noticeable irritation in his expression. He took out a cigarette case, pulled out a cigarette, and then checked his pockets, only to realize he had forgotten to bring a lighter

His demeanor sends chills down one's spine

In fact, they have never known each other; she simply goes to his store every week, either to pick up a package or to buy some snacks. Sometimes she hides at a distance, watching him play games, bask in the sun, catch up on sleep, or rummage through the entire shelf in a chaotic manner while searching for a package, all of which he remains unaware of. Unrequited love is essentially a solitary turmoil.

Rong Guanguan could not understand, looking completely bewildered

Rong Pinggui nervously handed over the lighter. He lit a cigarette, took a puff, and, feeling quite impatient, said, "Can you hurry up?"

Rong Li did not speak

Rong Li handed him the fragment

In the morning, he woke up and discovered something: "Brother, the mouse ate my chocolate."

Rong Guanguan sniffed again.

Rong Xiaochuan is reporting a complaint

Do not disturb me

Wang Yuelan put down her bowl and poked her son's head, saying, "Don't you have hands? If he pushes you, can't you push back? Just like your father, you've grown so big, yet you're of no use at all"

He went straight in, put down the flashlight, took an empty bowl from the table, weighed it in his hand, then let go, and with a crash, the bowl shattered

Wang Yuelan is just a housewife. Despite her usually bold demeanor, she only dares to pick on the soft and weak. When Rong Li broke a bowl, she couldn't even utter a word.

The tone is not angry, but rather straightforward and matter-of-fact

Did you hear what I said

In short, do not follow my example

In addition to the three members of their family, there was a young girl at the table, who was Wang Yuelan's niece, absentmindedly poking her bowl with chopsticks

Wang Yuelan's home is at the entrance of the village, where his two dogs are barking at the door

As soon as the person was discharged from the courtyard, Wang Yuelan collapsed onto the ground and cursed, calling them a madman

Someone behind was calling Rong Li, and he turned around

Rong Li walked ahead, his steps leisurely and his tone also slow as he said: "Do not follow my example"

"What are you knocking for? Stop knocking." Wang Yuelan slammed down her chopsticks and got up to open the door

The smaller one has quieted down, while the larger one moves even faster

Rong Li was momentarily taken aback and replied, "I do not eat sweets"

The son of a murderer, who is not afraid

The person outside knocked a few more times, making a thudding sound.

Wuwuwuwu ... ...

There is no reason.

Brother

Wang Yuelan has a loud voice; when she starts speaking, she can be heard from ten meters away: "Where did I say something wrong? I must say, your son is just like you," she rolled her eyes and scolded her husband, "a good-for-nothing."

A girl ran over, her eyes red, and said, "I'm sorry"

Wang Yuelan placed a chicken leg into her son's bowl and said, "In the future, stay away from that little troublemaker from the Rong family. Their whole family are murderers; who knows if there's any hereditary trait?" After admonishing the younger one, she turned to the older one and said, "And you, Tongtong, stop causing any more trouble. That delivery person who picks and chooses doesn't think highly of you, so don't keep trying to win him over. If you ask me, he only has that face to show, but a face can't be eaten. You should listen to your mother and find a good family to settle down with soon. If you delay, you'll be older, and as a girl gets older, she will only be the one to be chosen from."

He asked: "Will you apologize?"

After quite a while, that little chubby hand finally reached out

Rong Guanguan stood behind his brother, peering out with his head.

What to study

Rong Li is peeling tea eggs in the yard: "Come out for dinner"

He left, his silhouette concealed by the dark night. He Tong squatted on the ground, weeping

Wang Yuelan's husband is named Rong Pinggui, in his fifties, tall and slender: "You should say a little less."

Have your son apologize to my brother

What else do you want to do

He Tong sat right beside him, the closest she had ever been to him. She could clearly see the mole at the corner of his eye, as well as the numbness and coldness in his gaze that seemed impervious to light. He resembled a beautiful flower, but upon closer inspection, she realized it was not a living thing, but a specimen, devoid of any warmth or vitality.

Tonight, Rong Li washed Rong Guan Guan's face, marking the first time in six months. Rong Guan Guan was very happy and even dreamed of his brother feeding him and dressing him.

Wang Yuelan panicked: "Y-you—"

But it is very delicious when it is sweet

Rong Li did not enter, standing on one foot on the threshold: "Hmm, let's settle the account."

The child extends their hand, and in the palm lies a round, plump piece of chocolate

Wang Yuelan, robust in stature, blocked most of the doorway and spoke with a sharp tone: "Isn't it just the medical expenses? My family will cover it, is it necessary to come here and put on a stern face?"

Do not be like him

Rong Pinggui poured himself a glass of wine, drinking silently without a word

Why

The fragment has not yet reached the hands of the military officer at the border, and he has taken it back. Stretching his long legs, he hooked a chair and sat down, tracing two lines on the table with the fragment: "Murder is hereditary; the children of murderers have nothing to fear."

Rongguan let out a sound and ran over, looking bewildered and dazed

His tone was so ordinary, as if discussing the weather, with a light and indifferent timbre. Coupled with his entirely non-threatening appearance, if he were to slightly restrain his gaze, he would indeed appear harmless

No more scolding, sob sob sob sob

I will give you chocolate

Rong Pinggui slapped and said: "Hurry up!"

The child's voice was somewhat childish, yet surprisingly firm: "I won't, brother."

Wang Yuelan's entire family was stunned

He asked Rong Pinggui: "Do you have fire?"

Wang Yuelan immediately pulled her son over, her face flushed and her neck thick as she shouted: "Rong Li, how dare you!"

He scolded me, and he even pushed me

His sleeve was pulled, and when he turned around, his gaze met a pair of clean eyes, so clean that he could see his own filth reflected in them

Rong Li crouched down, sifting through a pile of debris, and picked up a sharp piece: "Rong Guanguan, come here."

Rongguan, follow closely

Here you go

Rong Li pulled the hood of the sweatshirt, wearing a ring on her index finger, silver in color, with no design: "It's fine if you don't apologize, my brother has seen blood, let him see some blood too."

Then I forgive you

Rong Li bit down on the cigarette, his hand reaching into his pocket
