Chapter 407 To Er Shen's Back
at the Zong family, but since winter is approaching, we still need to take precautions.When Zong Hu received this package, his heart was overwhelmed with complexity.He had some resentment towards his...Just as the door was about to be completely kicked in by Old Master Zong, the Mu family was ready to flee. If they didn't get out soon, their own doorstep would be compromised.
Luckily, Zong Hu arrived just in time and pulled Old Master Zong out, standing in front of Zong Yu's door to protect him.
"Grandpa, what are you doing"
As soon as Zong Lao saw Zong Hu, he became enraged. In his eyes, this once obedient and well-behaved grandson was no different from that white-eyed wolf, Zong Yu.
"What's it to you"
"I'm looking for Mu Yunhe, this has nothing to do with you." The old man Zong didn't even want to see Zong Hu now.
Even if they split the family, this kid still has to call him grandfather. Patriarch Zong felt that even if Zong Hu obstructed him, he wouldn't really do anything to him, so he was confident.
... There was a sense that if Mu Yunhe didn't open the door today, they would demolish their house.
...
Unexpectedly, Zong Hu remained motionless. Not only was he not pushed away by the slap, but he also stood firmly in front of the door, even more resolute than before.
Zong Hu's face turned serious as he spoke, "Grandfather, before leaving, Ah Yu entrusted her second aunt to me, asking me to look after her. I can't let you disturb her."
"Aunt Two's body has finally recovered a bit."
Hearing this, Old Master Zong’s face turned black. He pointed at Zong Hu’s nose and shouted, “You rebellious wretch! For an outsider, you dare to stop me Do you even have the face to call me grandpa”
"What business is it of yours when my turn comes Get lost!"
Zong Hu lowered his head, refusing stubbornly.
The elder's face contorted with anger, his entire body trembling. "Very good, very good! So each of you has grown wings and thinks you can do as you please now, is that it!"
He looked around wildly and grabbed a stick, beating Zong Hu viciously. He showed no mercy in his blows.
Although Zong Hu still resented his grandfather for abandoning him to die before, he couldn't bring himself to harm the old man after all these years of raising him.
He wasn't incapable of fighting back, he couldn't.
Zong Hu silently closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and endured the beating from Old Master Zong, without making a sound.
He only managed to choke out a sentence after being beaten, "Grandpa, why don't you wait until Ayu and Jinxiu come back before telling us what you need"
"Your second aunt isn't feeling well, you should just go back. If your second aunt gets sick because of you, Ayou and Jinshu will definitely not let you off the hook."
On the side, Hu Ailan rolled her eyes. She didn't understand Zong Hu's foolish behavior. He was standing here taking so many beatings for someone else's business. What a fool.
"Uncle Zong Hu, you still should let go. Grandpa is already old. If you make him angry, people in the village will say you are unfilial. " Hu Ai Lan stood aside seemingly persuading, but in reality, it was all cold words.
Zong Hu didn't even give her a glance, his eyes showed no sign of acknowledging her presence at all.
This is a matter for their family. To be honest, it's Hu Ailan who is the real outsider here. What right does she have to interfere
Master Zong was panting heavily, temporarily stopping to catch his breath. Hu Ailan saw this and immediately went over to help him up.
"Grandpa, are you alright"
Zong Hu looked at Hu Ai Lan's fake and pretentious manner, his eyes were colder than ever.
"What business is it of yours to interfere in our family matters Stay out of it and don't try to cause trouble between us in front of my grandfather!"
Just then, Mu Shi flung open the door. Zong Hu's clothes were torn to shreds by the elder Zong's stick, and gaping wounds exposed his bruised and battered skin.
Mu's eyes crinkled with concern as she pulled Zong Hu over.
"You silly child! Don't you know how to hide"
For so many years since Mu married into the family, she has always been dutiful and respectful to her elders, never daring to do anything out of line or disrespectful.
She was afraid of Zong Lao, but the crisscrossing scars on Zong Hu's body wounded her eyes.
"Father, Xiao Hu at least still calls you Grandfather. His arm wounds aren't healed yet, how could you strike him so hard!"
Zong Laotou let out a cold snort, "Mu Yunhe, who gave you the guts to speak to your own father-in-law like that"
If you had opened the door earlier, Xiaohu wouldn't have been beaten. Why did he block the doorway and prevent me from entering
Zong Hu hurriedly shook his head to comfort Mu Shi, "Second Aunt, this little injury doesn't matter, I don't feel any pain."
“Ayu told me before she left that I absolutely couldn’t let grandpa come to bother you. With me here, Second Aunt, please go inside first.”
Though he couldn't lay a hand on his grandfather, guarding this door was no problem at all.
The Mu family couldn't make their younger generation stand in the way to be beaten protecting her, she refused to leave.
"Little Tiger, Aunt Two knows you're a good child, and Aunt Two can't live under the protection of you young ones forever."
Mu took a deep breath, "Xiao Hu, go behind your aunt."o thank Mrs. for her help, another day Yuan certain will send a generous gift to express gratitude."Fang Jinshi still didn't budge, she just retracted her arm and let out a cold laugh.“I didn't expect...
