Chapter 79: Chapter 79 Finally Home

“I…” Gu Zishu was yelled at and was stunned, not knowing what to say.

Qian Ergou, not minding making a bigger scene, shouted loudly, “Sister Qiaoqiao, your brother is going to smash me with a brick.”

“Where did the brick come from?” Gu Qiaoqiao roared.

“Picked it up from the ground…” Gu Zishu got startled by his older sister but honestly replied.

“So if there were a knife on the ground, would you also pick it up and go slash someone?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked fiercely.

Without waiting for Gu Zishu to react, she snatched a wooden stick from a teenager nearby and swung it towards Gu Zishu.

...

Gu Qiaoqiao had often used a stick to discipline her brother like this before.

Hence, conditioned by past experiences, Gu Zishu jumped to the side, but his enthusiasm was dissipated by a fierce scolding from Gu Qiaoqiao, leaving him disheartened.

At the same time, a sense of grievance rose within the young boy.

He said angrily, “Stinky sister, I’m not talking to you anymore.”

With that, he turned to run towards home.

But before he had taken two steps, he was grabbed by the cotton jacket’s collar by Qin Yize, who almost lifted him off his feet.

“Let go of me, let go…”

Qin Yize did not let go, though he relaxed his grip somewhat and raised an eyebrow, “Your sister has a point in scolding you, even a half brick can be a dangerous weapon.”

His tall stature and the innate authority in his bones deterred Gu Zishu from resisting.

Although he had only seen him twice, Qin Yize was the person he admired the most.

In his eyes, his brother-in-law was practically invincible.

But still, he muttered, “Qian Ergou and Sun Tiehua just deserve a beating.”

The other kids did not dare to laugh at Gu Zishu being caught by his brother-in-law, but Qian Ergou muttered, “You’re the one who deserves a beating.”

“Say that one more time,” Gu Zishu yelled furiously.

Gu Zishu was considered somewhat of a little tyrant in Stone Town, and many kids were indeed afraid of him.

Moreover, this man was not only handsome but also skilled in movement; nobody saw how he did it, but he effortlessly caught Gu Zishu.

No wonder Gu Zishu always said his brother-in-law was the most formidable.

Only now did Gu Qiaoqiao seem to realize what she had done, a flicker of guilt flashed in her eyes, but she also felt unsettled, not because she was clinging to her past life.

It was because her brother’s nature was indeed unruly, always getting into trouble, and without suppressing him a bit, who knows what kind of disaster he might cause later.

Qin Yize let go of Gu Zishu, he did not fully agree with Gu Qiaoqiao scolding Gu Zishu without understanding the situation.

So he glanced coolly at the other children and asked, “Why were you guys fighting?”

Qian Ergou and Sun Tiehua dodged their eyes, remaining silent.

Before Gu Zishu could speak, a twelve or thirteen-year-old kid pointed at the two, “They were going to set off firecrackers by the hay stack, Gu Zishu wouldn’t let them, and then they started fighting, it was Qian Ergou who threw the first punch, we were just rooting out the menace for the people.”

Qin Yize patted Gu Zishu on the head and then squeezed his shoulder, saying, “No wonder you ran so far and still looked calm, you’ve got a tough build and a strong sense of justice too, you did right in stopping them!”

“Really?” Gu Zishu’s eyes suddenly sparkled.

Qin Yize nodded, “Discovering and stopping a potential danger in time makes you a good kid, but still, you need to change your approach, at the very least, you need to convince them…”

“How do I change, how do I make them convinced?” Gu Zishu, seemingly forgetting about his anger with Gu Qiaoqiao moments earlier, eagerly asked.

This was exactly what he was most distressed about.

These people might appear submissive on the outside, but inside they were not convinced at all.

“I’ll tell you when we get back,” Qin Yize said nonchalantly.

Then, looking at the child who had caused the trouble, they seriously said, “Setting off firecrackers by the wheat stacks is the most dangerous behavior, especially on a windy day like today, it can easily start a fire. You two should thank Gu Zishu for stopping you in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Never do this again, do you hear me?”

Gu Zishu puffed out his chest with pride.

Qian Ergou nodded his head repeatedly, “I won’t dare again…”

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the other children and took out a handful of candy from her bag, saying with a smile, “Here, have some candy, but never ever do such dangerous things again. If a fire starts, you’ll definitely get caught…”

The children were startled at first, but then their eyes sparkled at the sight of the candy. They took it without hesitation, sharing among themselves one piece each.

It seemed that the chase from moments ago was nothing more than a game.

And that is just how children are.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Gu Zishu, apologizing, “I wronged you, Zishu; I’m sorry, Sister Qiaoqiao.”

“Hmph!” Gu Zishu tilted his neck arrogantly, “You scold me as soon as you get back, even though I missed you so much…”

Gu Qiaoqiao hugged Gu Zishu, choking up, “Zishu, Sister missed you too.”

Gu Zishu, embarrassed, wriggled free and, seizing a travel bag, put on a bright smile, “Sister, Brother-in-law, let’s hurry home. Our family has been longing for you for over half a month now.”

He then skipped and hopped beside Qin Yize, seeming proud to have such a handsome and capable brother-in-law.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked up slightly. Because the town didn’t burn coal, Stone Town’s sky was still very blue even in winter.

Today, it was as if it were a gemstone.

Her spirits finally began to soar again.

With Gu Zishu’s interruption, her mood had greatly improved. Along the way, she greeted the familiar yet unfamiliar faces with a smile.

However, when she saw the familiar red brick and large-tiled house, she still felt somewhat dazed.

The Gu Family’s homestead was very large, and Grandpa Gu was the first person in the village to build a house with red bricks.

There were large vegetable gardens in the front and the back, with half-human-high earthen walls made of yellow mud encircling them.

In summer, the walls were covered in trumpet flowers.

The main gate faced south.

It was two large doors made of poplar.

She looked at the half-open main gate.

Her hand, hanging by her side, clenched tightly.

No one could understand her feelings.

Even though it was a second lifetime for her, in her memory it had been only a few years.

All her memories stopped on that day.

She hadn’t waited for her body to recover, nor had she seen her brother who was taken away, when she received the tragic news of her mother and sister.

And her father had already passed away while she was in a coma.

The affairs of the Qin Family were handled in the afterlife.

But in those days when her mother and sister passed away one after the other, Grandma Qin also left, and Qin Xiaoyu was sent to the hospital.

Shen Manru, seeing her, almost wanted to kill her; how could she care about the affairs of the Gu Family?

She dragged her body, covered in welts, enduring the severe pain in her throat, and staggered onto the car.

By the time she reached home, there were two coffins laying at the gate…

Gu Qiaoqiao’s mind was somewhat hazy, and mist began to fill her eyes. Qin Yize’s gaze focused on her, his brow furrowed slightly.

But Gu Zishu was unaware of the nightmare in Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart. Holding the travel bag, he pushed the main gate open, rushing down the path toward the main house, shouting as he ran, “Dad, Mom, Qianqian, Sister and Brother-in-law are back…”
