Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 383 My Sister - Running Away from Home

Li Gu was in a bad mood today. She was frustrated by the setbacks at work. She walked to the door of her house, stood in front of the door, adjusted her expression, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, as if to expel all the troubles of the day. She did not want to bring the pressure from work back home.

Li Gu opened the door and saw the family sitting in the living room and her brother standing not far away with a cute backpack. She put down the key and asked:

"What are you doing? What happened?"

Sun Yu looked at his wife coming back and took a deep breath nervously.

Fifteen minutes ago, when Bai Xiaohua began to complain to his son, Zhou Leng was already ready to run away from home with his schoolbag on his back.

Sun Yu looked at his brother-in-law, who was 1.85 meters tall, with a cute Doraemon backpack on his broad shoulders and a light blue extended children's watch on his wrist. He asked with a hidden smile:

"Brother, where are you going? Sister will be back soon."

"Humph, I want to leave!"

"Brother, you are going to run away from home, brother!"

Zhou Leng turned around and looked aggrievedly at his brother-in-law who was kind to him in his memory. His pitiful look with tears in his eyes and pouting lips, coupled with his wild eyebrows and rough skin, was enough to make anyone who heard about it cry and anyone who saw it stunned.

A rough voice of grievance reached Sun Yu's ears:

"Go home, and take your sister home with you."

Sun Yu turned around to look at his mother, and frowned slightly when he saw her avoiding his gaze with a guilty look.

Bai Xiaohua felt aggrieved when she saw her son's expression. This fool has now learned to complain. Humph!

"Brother, when my sister comes back, she will be worried if she can't find you. Can you wait for her?"

"Humph!"

Zhou Leng snorted coldly, but stopped.

***

In the living room, Zhou Leng listened to Sun Dashan's shoddy recounting of the incident. He had been sitting next to his sister, pouting and not saying a word.

Li Gu looked at her parents-in-law and husband in the living room and said:

"When I was studying, as long as I turned on the TV for my brother and left enough food, he would stay at home all day. Sun Yu! I took my brother out to play, and dinner didn't have to wait for us."

After the two of them closed the door and left, Bai Xiaohua looked at his son with grievance and pity and said:

"What does Li Gu mean? She thinks her brother is easy to serve. Oh my, what do you mean he can stay at home alone for a day while studying? What does she mean? Is she blaming me or..."

Bai Xiaohua's words slowly stopped under the gaze of the father and son. She looked at their eyes and felt aggrieved and annoyed.

"Mom, when we got married, we agreed to take care of each other and work hard together. Li Gu has nothing to say about you and your sister, but now my eldest brother just eats more and watches TV at home. You can't tolerate this. I don't even have the face to face Li Gu. I really don't have the face to say anything."

Sun Yu rubbed his face up and down vigorously with his hands, and his face turned red.

The three people suddenly fell silent, each thinking about their own reasons.

Seeing her son like this, Bai Xiaohua pursed her lips and said with tears in her eyes, "I'll go apologize to Li Gu, Dasha... Dacheng, okay?"

Sun Dashan stared at his wife and said:

"What do you mean by 'okay'? What if you don't apologize? You were wrong in the first place. I didn't dare to explain in detail just now because Li Gu was around. When I went to the bathroom, your mother started scolding you in the living room, and she scolded Li Gu as well. Dacheng wanted to hit your mother, and I tried to stop him but Dacheng pushed me down. I was too embarrassed to say anything. Li Gu and I told Dacheng not to watch TV, but Dacheng hit us both. My old face is gone. I bullied a stupid kid who wouldn't complain, and I'm lying here."

The more Sun Dashan spoke, the more embarrassed he felt. His face turned dark red and he felt like he had bullied a fool.

"He won't complain, he ran away from home, and he pouts and shows his teeth! He..."

"Mom! You..."

Li Gu didn't know about the quarrel among the three family members. She took her brother to the home-style restaurant where the family often ate when their parents were alive.

Li Gu watched her brother sitting quietly, looking at her cautiously. She said softly with tears in her eyes:

"Brother, I'm sorry. I didn't take good care of you. I'm sorry."

Zhou Leng reached out and held the girl's hand. He smiled and said, "Sister, smile."

Li Gu couldn't help but lower her head, tears falling on the dining table. Thinking back to what she had done, she felt that she was too selfish. She used the money left by her parents to go to school, sold the old house and bought a new house for her marriage. It was obvious that her brother got half of all the money left by her parents, and now her brother was restricted when watching TV at home, but she did not support him and blame them.

Self-blame made Li Gu grit her teeth, letting her tears drip onto the dining table. She wiped away her tears with her sleeves.

"Sister, I want to work too."

Li Gu raised his head and looked at his brother in surprise.

"Work and earn money for my sister, and she will smile."

Li Gu suddenly stood up and walked to Zhou Leng. She touched Zhou Leng's head and looked for any wounds. She was afraid that her brother might have had a head injury or been beaten by the old couple, which led to the current changes.

"Brother, don't move. Let me take a look."

Li Gu comforted her brother. She checked his head, hands and feet. Seeing that he was not injured, she returned to her seat and asked tentatively:

"Brother, how do you know that you can make money by working?"

Zhou Leng acted proud and said, "I knew it. I'm the smartest. I'm strong and can work."

Li Gu felt it was ridiculous. His brother had been taken care of roughly by his parents-in-law for several months, and he was hungry and stimulated, so he expressed himself more clearly than before!

"Brother, when did you become smarter than before?"

Zhou Leng tilted his head and thought for a while before answering: “I hit Granny Bai, but I was afraid that my sister would scold me, so I hit myself on the head and fainted, and I felt smarter.”

Li Gu's focus shifted to his brother's self-harming behavior. After a period of comfort and research, all of Li Gu's annoyance was swept away. His brother can now communicate more smoothly. Although he still doesn't seem very smart, at least he can listen to instructions. Maybe if he goes out more for exercise and stimulation, his brother will become smarter.

When the brother and sister returned home, the atmosphere at home was very cold and depressing.

When Sun Yu saw the joy on his wife's face, he felt relieved.

"Dacheng and his daughter-in-law are back. Um, Sun Yu also criticized me. I will be more careful next time. I was wrong this time. From now on, Dacheng can watch whatever TV he wants."

Seeing the other party's fake smile, as if he had been wronged but forced to apologize, Zhou Leng rubbed his hands and said, "I won't watch TV anymore. I will eat less. Granny Bai, please don't scold me and my sister."

Bai Xiaohua was so angry that her teeth were itching. She now felt that this idiot was not stupid at all.

Li Gu lowered her head to change her shoes. She said calmly, "Mom, it's all over. We just need to be good to each other from now on."

Bai Xiaohua and Sun Dashan did not stay in the living room for long. They returned to their room and listened to the noise outside. When they heard nothing, they opened the door to take a peek. They were stared at by Zhou Leng who was watching TV. They both retracted their heads in embarrassment.

Sun Yu looked at the silent brother and sister on the sofa. He blushed and said awkwardly, "Brother, honey, I'm sorry."

Zhou Leng snorted softly and continued watching TV.

Li Gu shook her head to indicate that it was not important. She quietly discussed with Sun Yu about her brother going out to work.
