Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 286: Unfilial Son - Someone is Looking for You

There was nothing to say all night, and it was dawn the next day.

After Tian Dayong woke up, he just opened his eyes and shouted loudly:

"Mom, I had a nightmare. It was so real. I seemed to see everything our family has experienced in our lifetime, but now I can't remember it. Oh my god, I just remember that everyone was miserable, and I was so happy... I cried so hard that I couldn't breathe."

The boy's excited and shrill voice echoed in the house, and the only answer he got was his sister's crying.

Li Ping had been up for an hour. She had prepared breakfast, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already eaten.

Zhou Leng was already cleaning up and renovating the east room, and the video was being recorded.

There were only three people, father and son, lying on the kang in the room.

Tian Dayong's shout woke Tian Xiaohua up.

Zhou Leng heard Xiaohua crying and walked quickly to the door. She stood at the door and looked at Tian Dayong who was holding his sister in his arms and coaxing her.

"Dayong, get up and eat when you wake up. Take your sister to eat. Grandma and I are cleaning the east room. And you bring the meal to dad. From now on, you will be responsible for taking care of your dad. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have to suffer like this."

"Oh, I see. I'll comfort my sister first. Then we'll put on our clothes and go eat. You and grandma can clean up the east room."

When Zhou Leng turned around to leave, Tian Dayong suddenly said:

"Mom, isn't it strange? My dad is injured like this, why hasn't Lao Deng come yet? He used to come and show off whenever he had time, but now he's gone. He wouldn't think that all our money is burned and my dad is useless, so he ran away, right? How could this man be my grandfather? I'm so unlucky. There's something even stranger. I got into such a big trouble this time, why didn't you beat me?"

Tian Xiaohua was in her brother's arms, listening to him talking endlessly. Tears were still hanging on her eyelashes, but because her brother spoke too fast, she looked up curiously and whispered:

"Brother, stop making noise."

Zhou Leng stared at him and said:

"Stop talking nonsense and go eat first. Besides, you haven't done anything against your principles, so why would I hit you? I can still tell whether you are intentionally hurting others or not."

Tian Dayong pretended to shut up, then took out Xiaohua's clothes that were stuffed under the mattress and put them on his sister one by one. Finally, he put on his own clothes and folded the quilt.

Now in this family, Li Ping's attitude towards Tian Dayong has become noticeably colder, but the naughty child himself has shown signs of becoming sensible.

Being obedient is not the criterion for judging whether a child is good or not. Knowing right from wrong, being sensible and knowing how to be grateful are the marks of a good child.

***

In fact, Zhou Leng didn’t know about the entanglement of Tian Dayong’s family. She only cast a spell to resolve the resentment when she saw it.

It's a bad fate.

This life is the tenth life in which the three of them are bound together by family ties.

In the previous nine lives, Tian Dayong was the elder and the couple were the younger generations, and every life ended with the younger generations being unfilial.

In the ninth generation, Shi Min and Tian Dayong were still married, but Tian Dayong was the father. The father trusted his daughter and son-in-law and gave the house to his daughter. Who knew that in return, the daughter would sell the house and kick the old father out.

On a cold and snowy night, the old man died on the street.

Nine lifetimes of entanglement and unfilial piety resulted in tenth lifetime of hatred. Now he is the son and they are the parents, and what they both endure is his hatred and resentment.

After feeling the loneliness of his old age, Shi Min, the tenth generation, replaced Zhou Leng.

Tian Dayong's unfortunate soul thought in every life that it didn't matter and that everything would be fine in the next life. However, he ended up having a miserable old age in every life.

After this life, Shi Min's soul disappeared completely, which also freed the three endlessly entangled souls.

Li Ping was just an innocent victim.

***

When Li Ping saw her daughter-in-law return to the east room, she moved closer and whispered:

"Min, Dayong deserves a beating. He caused such a big disaster this time. He needs to be taught a lesson. Fortunately, the wood was not burned, but the surface. Otherwise, this house would be uninhabitable. Now Mom has really figured it out. People are different. Some children really cannot be treated without being beaten."

Zhou Leng smiled and turned his head to look at his mother-in-law and said:

"Mom, you have a point. You can educate him tonight and I'll watch from the side. After all, I set the rules for him. Although Dayong caused great losses to the family this time, the child was also scared and did not intentionally harm anyone. I can't break the agreement myself, otherwise it will be difficult to control him in the future."

Li Ping listened to her daughter-in-law's calm tone and smiling eyes. She thought she didn't like her to interfere in taking care of the child.

No matter how much Zhou Leng defended her mother-in-law in this incident, in Li Ping's heart, Tian Junfu was closer to her than her daughter-in-law. Now that her son was injured at home, her daughter-in-law's short video was quite effective. She was afraid that her daughter-in-law would dislike her son, so she said in a flattering tone:

"I was just a little angry, and I said that out of anger. Look how much Junfu suffers every day. If it were in the past, he would have gone to work in the city a long time ago. This year, this job has been delayed, and hey! His house has even burned down."

Zhou Leng actually didn't have any extra intentions. She just felt that it didn't matter whether the naughty kid was beaten or not, and if Li Ping wanted to beat him up that was fine.

Zhou Leng said comfortingly:

"Mom, today I thought of letting Junfu rest at home for a year. He hasn't had a good time in all these years. He looks much older than his peers. It's a good time for him to stay at home and catch up this year. After I finish planting the land, I'll go out and find a job if I see that he's not doing well. It's easier for a couple to share hardships than joys. You don't have to worry so much."

Li Ping nodded with satisfaction.

In the kitchen, Tian Dayong was coaxing his sister to eat. Although the family's house was broken, their relationship seemed stronger.

While the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were talking, there was a loud knock on the big iron gate of the Tian family. The sharp and buzzing sound carried into the room.

Zhou Leng walked to his phone and clicked pause to record, then stretched his hands and feet and said:

"Mom, you should take a rest too. If you hear someone knocking on the door, it must be something bad. I'll go check it out."

Zhou Leng stood up and walked to the door and shouted loudly:

"Who is it? Why are you knocking on the door so loudly in broad daylight? What's going on? Did your wife run away or did your father die?"

This is a blunt statement, and it confirms the rumor that she is becoming more and more aggressive and difficult to deal with.

A familiar male voice answered from outside the door:

"Seventh Old Wife, how can you say that? Open the door. I have something urgent to talk to you about."

After opening the door, what I saw was a large family.

These people were the family that Tian Wei rented. Zhou Leng thought with her toes that this was not a good thing. She looked at these people and asked in confusion:

"Brother Wang San, what are you doing? You know our house burned down, so you come to help with the work?"

The leader of the other party was a middle-aged man with a tanned face and slightly dirty hair. He looked anxious, and the people behind him even leaned over to look into the yard.

Even if there is no blood relationship in the village, everyone is somewhat related, so Zhou Leng calls the other party "Third Brother Wang" just out of courtesy, and the two families don't have much contact.

The man asked, "Shi Min, has your father-in-law come to your house? We have something to talk to him about."

Zhou Leng had something in mind, and said with a bit of anger on his face:

"That man is not my father-in-law! Brother Wang San, don't talk nonsense. It's been a long time since Junfu was discharged from the hospital, and he hasn't even seen a trace of him. Seeing that my family has no labor force, he will not associate with us. We have no relationship in the first place, otherwise he can rent a house in your house. In the end, Tian Wei is not as close to our family as he is to yours!"

Brother Wang San was a little embarrassed, but the people behind him were still peeking into the yard.
