After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Chapter 411 Reconciliation

Xia Mo had just finished helping Muzi clean up when Tiedan exclaimed.

"Brother Xiao Anyu, why are you crying? Did you get hurt somewhere?"

As soon as he said this, all the other children, including the adults, looked straight at Xiao Anyu.

We just saw the violent scene of him slapping Damao's father. It can be seen how much he cherishes this adopted son. If he is really hurt, won't he continue to get angry?

Alas, such a good boy like Ze was raised like this by Lingchuan. I can’t imagine how long they have been together.

Xia Mo and Ling Chuan had no idea what they had misunderstood. One of them was trying to comfort Xiao Anyu who was crying silently, while the other was just watching from the side with no expression on his face.

Huzi's mother was there too. After listening to the children's account of the entire incident, she realized that her son was at fault first, so she pushed him and said, "If you're at fault, go and apologize. I'm telling you, kid, you're such a jerk. The land isn't ours, why are you meddling so much? If you don't apologize, I won't help you if I hit you later."

Hu Zi bit his lip and glanced at Xiao Anyu who was crying loudly. Actually, his eyes... were quite beautiful.

Thinking of this, Hu Zi turned around again, looked at his mother who was sternly looking at him, scratched his fingers and said timidly: "I don't dare to go."

Hu Zi's mother poked his head with her finger and said, "I saw that you were quite capable before, why can't you do it now? You really don't know how much you weigh unless I hang you up and beat you."

She said harsh words, but finally led Hu Zi over.

As soon as he saw Hu Zi and his mother coming, Tiedan tensed his face and rushed forward, using his small body to block Xiao Anyu, staring at Hu Zi vigilantly.

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing Tiedan defending Xiao Anyu with his own eyes, Xia Mo couldn't help but smile, and Ling Chuan also raised his eyebrows slightly.

It seems that the bribe was not in vain.

Then he smiled politely at Hu Zi's mother.

Since he didn't look like someone coming to blame her, Xia Mo smiled back. Then she glanced down and her eyes fell on Hu Zi, who was looking a little embarrassed beside her.

Facing a lot of gazes, the most terrifying uncle in the village was also in front of him, and now there was also a terrifying aunt. Hu Zi's face turned red and he didn't dare to look up at all.

"Speak." His mother couldn't stand his shyness and urged him.

Hu Zi really wanted to ask his mother if he was also adopted. She was not gentle to him at all, not even as gentle as his aunt was to that child. But he didn't have the courage. If he asked, he would probably be beaten with a bamboo whip.

He hesitated for a long time before turning away his eyes and whispering, "I came here to apologize."

Tiedan's eyes widened slightly, and he looked very surprised: "Ah? You said you came here to apologize?"

"Yeah." Hu Zi nodded, feeling his face burning and very embarrassed. He wanted to turn around and run away several times, but his hands were held tightly by his mother and he could not move.

Hu Zi's mother glared at her son, then smiled and said to Xia Mo: "I have already asked Hu Zi what happened. The child probably heard something and was led astray, but it was indeed his fault to fight."

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Hu Zi again, let go of her hand and pushed him, saying in an unquestionable voice: "Since you have done something wrong, you should apologize and change it. Go and apologize now."

As if forcing a duck to climb a tree, Hu Zi was pushed by her so hard that he almost hit Tiedan.

Tiedan stood aside. Since Huzi came to apologize, he couldn't stand in the way.

Hu Zi stole a glance at Xiao Anyu, but Xiao Anyu didn't look at him.

Hu Zi wanted to talk to him, but didn't know how to start.

Hu Zi's mother had never seen her son so coy before, so she urged him again: "Stop dithering. Now that you've realized your mistake, is it difficult for you to apologize?"

It’s hard… Hu Zi couldn’t say anything, and his mother pressed him hard, so he turned around and said to Tie Dan: “I’m sorry, I bit you just now.”

Tiedan thought he was going to apologize to Xiao Anyu's brother, but when he saw him apologizing to him, he frowned slightly and replied seriously: "I accept your apology. You bit me, but I also bit you, so we are even."

"Yeah." Hu Zi responded absentmindedly, and secretly glanced at Xiao Anyu out of the corner of his eye. Xiao Anyu was looking at his face with his head down.

"...Little Zhuzi, I punched you just now. And Brother Yi, I didn't hit Brother Yi. You ran over to pull him away and I hit you accidentally..."

In the end, Hu Zi even apologized for anyone whose feet he accidentally stepped on, but he didn't apologize to Xiao Anyu.

With Tiedan setting an example in front, the other children were basically willing to shake hands and make peace.

Of course, there are also some adults who take their children away with a gloomy face, blaming the children for being careless and getting their clothes dirty.

Xia Mo did not comment on this. As long as he was not as careless as Damao's father, he would not make a fuss about it.

After all, when children get together, they will inevitably fight. So we can't judge a person for one thing.

Just like Hu Zi, who was just a little kid of eight or nine years old. He kept glancing at Xiao Anyu's face, and he didn't look like he didn't want to apologize, but rather seemed to be embarrassed.

And it does take a lot of courage to apologize proactively in front of a group of people.

"Hu Zi, you haven't apologized to your brother Xiao Anyu yet." Tiedan waited for a long time and saw that he still hadn't apologized to Xiao Anyu, so he had to remind him.

Now that he has been named and punished, Hu Zi has no way to hide even if he wants to.

Xia Mo wanted to laugh, but where was the dignity of an adult? How could he laugh at such a serious matter? It was very discouraging to the child.

"Xiao, Xiao Anyu, I'm sorry!"

Hu Zi took one last breath and finally said what was on his lips.

"What else?" Hu Zi's mother asked again before Xiao Anyu could answer.

Hu Zi looked up blankly. What else was written clearly inside?

Hu Zi's mother: "What's wrong?"

Hu Zi understood and withdrew his gaze in disappointment. Before looking back at Xiao Anyu, he stole a glance at Ling Chuan and Xia Mo. Seeing that they looked normal, they probably weren't angry enough to hit him. He felt relieved and then looked directly at Xiao Anyu.

Xia Mo put his hand on Xiao Anyu's head, stroked it twice, and said, "Xiao Anyu, it's rude to bow your head when someone apologizes to you."

Xiao Anyu already thought that the fight had already made Uncle Liu unhappy, so after hearing what he said, even though he was reluctant in his heart, he still raised his head and looked at Hu Zi with his light blue and light brown eyes.

Huzi: "..."

It looks even better when you look closer.

Seeing the hateful and annoying child staring at him stupidly, Xiao Anyu frowned and felt very annoyed, thinking to himself, can't this guy just say what he wants to say quickly?

Hu Zi's mother, who was also annoyed, couldn't stand it anymore and slapped Hu Zi on the back of his head. "Hurry up and tell me, little bastard. I have work to do."

"Mom hit me again." Hu Zi accused.

“Hmm?” Hu Zi’s mother narrowed her eyes, her gaze was as sharp as a knife, as if to say, “Do you really want to taste the power of my Iron Sand Palm?”

Of course, the tense Hu Zi didn't want to do that, so he turned around and said to Xiao Anyu, "The road belongs to everyone. I shouldn't have said that to you, let alone scolded you and hit you. I'm sorry. How about I hit you back? I'll stand still and let you hit me?"

Hu Zi's mother was speechless and really wanted to rub her throbbing temple.

"Don't fight. Fighting is not a good thing. Since you already know that you shouldn't say those words, then don't say them again next time. Otherwise, not only will Xiao Anyu be angry, but I, your uncle, will be very angry too."

After Xia Mo finished speaking, he ignored Hu Zi's frightened expression and turned to Xiao Anyu.

He asked, "Xiao Anyu, Huzi has realized that he was wrong, so let's forgive him for once, okay?"

"Okay." Xiao Anyu nodded without hesitation and said to Hu Zi, "I forgive you."

The more he looked at him, the more he liked him. Hu Zi nodded blankly, thinking that he not only had beautiful eyes but was also handsome. In fact, he was not as scary as Damao and the others said.

Seeing that the children had forgiven each other, Huzi's mother, who still had work to do, didn't want to delay any more, so she said, "Lingchuan, Ze'er, you see the children are all shaking hands and talking happily, so is this over?"

"Well, sister-in-law, you still have things to do, so you can leave first." Xia Mo replied.

"Then we'll leave first." Hu Zi's mother said and took Hu Zi away.

After a few steps, Hu Zi suddenly turned around and said, "Tiedan, Xiao Anyu, can I play with you guys in the future?"

"Of course you can." Tiedan shouted, "You are the one who suddenly stopped playing with us, but if you bully Xiao Anyu's brother, I will beat you."

"Tiedan! Who do you want to hit?"

Qi, who came upon hearing the news, happened to hear the last sentence and immediately raised her eyebrows and shouted.

Tiedan didn't think he had done anything wrong, but the next second his mother grabbed his ears.

"Okay, you're all covered in mud, and it looks like you've had a fight." Qi put one hand on her waist and gritted her teeth.

Tiedan cried out, "Mom, please be gentle, or your earlobe will be broken! And I am just being righteous! This is not a fight!"

"Okay, it's fine if you don't repent, but you're still quibbling..." Qi still wanted to show off his power.

The hesitant Xiao Anyu helped him explain at this time: "Aunt, Brother Tiedan fought because he wanted to help me."

When Xia Mo and Ling Chuan met, they looked at each other meaningfully.

It's rare that a child would take the initiative to speak up for someone else. It seems that this fight is not all bad.

When Qi's hand loosened, Tiedan, whose ear no longer hurt, laughed happily, "Brother Xiao Anyu, it seems that your love for you is not in vain!" Then he showed off to Xiao Zhuzi, "Did you see it? Did you hear it? He called me brother."

Little Zhuzi was not convinced and asked Xiao Anyu to call him Brother Zhuzi as well.

Xiao Anyu glanced at his hair that was as messy as a chicken coop, and finally shouted obediently.

Immediately, Xiao Zhuzi was also happy.

Seeing this, Brother Yi said he wanted one too, and so did Muzi and the others, some of these little brats, some of whom were not even as old as Xiao Anyu.

Xia Mo laughed.

The same is true for Lingchuan.

After Qi learned the whole story from them, she looked at the little kids who had reconciled and gave up in anger and helplessness.

Afterwards, the children went back to their homes.

After Xiao Anyu realized that Uncle Liu was not angry with him, but was angry at those people who talked nonsense, he was no longer depressed and sad and cried.

Therefore, the fight was over in their minds, but for some people it was just not over.

After being slapped three times by Xia Mo, Da Mao's father felt more and more that he had lost all his face and dignity. He picked up a rattan stick and beat Da Mao on the calf.

Damao burst into tears, and his mother and his grandparents felt sorry for him and asked him why he beat the child for no reason.

Not satisfied with beating the guy up, Da Mao's father became even more furious when he was attacked by the whole family. He threw away the rope and started swearing. He cursed Da Mao and said that people with heterochromatic eyes were a nuisance and would destroy them all sooner or later. By then, they would have no tears to cry. Just wait and see.

When Damao's mother heard this, she frowned and muttered, "Who's crazy?" Then she asked Damao what was wrong with his father.

When Damao's mother asked, the two old men also asked, and during the trial by three judges, Damao told everything.

The two elders were also very angry when they heard this. Their son was actually slapped three times in public by the husband of the Ling family. This was simply a great humiliation.

But they did not dare to go to the Ling family to seek justice, because they were not in the right whether the children were fighting or their son was slapped. Secondly, they were afraid that the couple would become so cruel that they would even beat them, their old bones.

Damao's mother's face didn't look very good either, but she said nothing and just took Damao to change his clothes.

Then, when no one was around, I told him not to talk nonsense, not to get involved, and not to learn from his father, who was so stupid.

Of course, Xia Mo and the others didn’t know about this because they were busy.

Since we are going to start making a batch of sugar, in addition to the raw materials, we also need firewood.

So after the wheat and sweet potatoes were transported over, several carts of firewood were also transported over.

As soon as they made a move, many people in the village noticed it and felt strange.

In the early stage of the trial, that is, to soak and grow seedlings, not so many people are needed for the time being, so Xia Mo only called Liu Yingying, Liu Yu and Qi Shi, and their wages were two cents a day.

After the malt was grown, Xia Mo and Ling Chuan went to find Liu Zheng's family and asked Xiao Liu and Huang if they were willing to do this job.

That was two cents a day, so the two agreed immediately. Huang even asked on behalf of her daughter if she needed anyone else.

Xia Mo replied that they did, but it was just a trial run and they didn't need so many people. They would recruit workers after the sugar factory officially opened, and she could come if she wanted to, but she had to abide by the rules.

Huang repeatedly made it clear that there is no order without rules, and it is best to deal with things separately. Since they have been paid, they naturally cannot be lazy.

Xia Mo smiled and said that it was good that you could understand. After they were busy in the sugar factory and could come and go freely, the fact that the sugar factory belonged to the Ling family husband and wife could no longer be concealed.

"What? Is that really Lingchuan's family?" A man who suddenly heard about this said in shock under the big banyan tree at the east end of the village.

A middle-aged woman turned around and said, "It's his family, for sure. I heard Shuzhen say it herself. She said they wanted to start a sugar business. They pay two cents a day for work, and they also provide lunch, which includes meat and vegetables."

"Is it true?" The other husband licked his lips and said, two cents a day and meat to eat, he wanted to go.

"Really, really, I even went there specially today. The smell of meat is so delicious that I can't help swallowing my saliva when I think about it now," said a woman.

"I smelled it too. I wonder if they need more people. I want to go too."

"Me too."

Just when their voices were in unison, an exceptionally abrupt male voice sounded.

"No, aren't you afraid that they won't be able to pay your wages?" He sounded disdainful.
