Chapter 269:
Actually, it was just those two children clamoring to ride the motorcycle and constantly trying to climb on it.
Yun Xiaowu and the others naturally objected. They treasured their family’s motorcycle, and those two children had muddy feet and grubby hands when they got on, so they stopped them.
Wang Daming started yelling about them being stingy and wanted his mom to take the motorcycle, implying that his mom would make Wang Mei give them the motorcycle.
Yun Xiaowu and his siblings had a brief verbal spat with these two brothers. Who knew these two had such tempers? They kicked the motorcycle and then tried to fight them.
The first targets were Yun Xiaojiu and Yun Jiao, as these two children looked like the easiest to bully.
Yun Xiaojiu was pushed so hard that he sat on the ground, and his butt hurt, causing him to cry.
Yun Jiao saw her Ninth Brother being bullied and naturally objected, slapping Wang Erming across the face.
Yun Xiaowu and the others also started fighting with Wang Daming, leading to the scene that the adults saw earlier.
Wang Mei pointed at Liu Hong and her eldest brother, “Did you hear that? You yourselves didn’t raise your children well and were the ones who started bullying our children!”
Liu Hong: “You’re a married daughter of the old Wang family, how can you side with outsiders? My son was originally going to teach that young girl and that child a lesson. These two aren’t your kids, yet your two sons are helping them bully their own cousins.”
“Anyway, I don’t care. My son suffered so much today, you definitely have to pay for his medical expenses. Also, they need to recuperate, and the things needed for recuperation aren’t cheap, so you have to pay for that too.”
“Why don’t you just go up to heaven? Fine, you want medical expenses, right?”
Wang Mei’s gaze swept around, and she went to the stove and picked up a half-burnt piece of firewood that had turned black.
“I don’t care about my reputation today. I’m going to beat you soundly to vent my anger, and I’ll pay for your medical expenses too!”
Saying that, she swung the stick in her hand and struck.
Liu Hong screamed and quickly ran away.
“Wang Mei, you’re a lunatic!”
“Wang Dali, are you dead? Just watching her hit me like this, why don’t you hurry up and teach her a lesson.”
Father Wang: “All of you, stop!”
“Eldest son, take your wife and son and get out, otherwise don’t blame me, your father, for being impolite!”
Wang Dali was still a little intimidated. He quickly pulled his wife along and called for his son to leave.
However, Liu Hong was unwilling. She left several scratches on his face and continued to curse incessantly.
Her good mood was ruined. Wang Mei had a dark expression.
“Mom and Dad, I’m telling you, you’re not allowed to give any of these things to Liu Hong!”
He didn’t have a good impression of those two nephews either. Malnourished?
Those two children did look a bit thin, but it wasn’t her fault.
Their own mother took all the good things back to her maternal home, so the food her sons ate naturally wouldn’t be good. It was all Liu Hong’s fault that the two children were malnourished, wasn’t it?
And her eldest brother too.
“How did Daming and Erming become like that?”
Mother Wang sighed, “It’s all Liu Hong’s doing.”
Father Wang smoked his cigarette, “Liu Hong moves all the good things from the eldest son’s home to her maternal home. When the children are hungry, she makes the two children cheat others for food. Sometimes she makes those two children come to our house, or wait by the door of whoever’s house they’re eating at. We’ve spoken to her, but it’s no use.”
They wanted to educate those two children properly, but with Liu Hong causing trouble, and the two of them being busy, they couldn’t manage them.
Thinking of their eldest son, the two of them regretted it countless times.
Why didn’t they resist their eldest son’s pleas back then and agree to let Liu Hong marry in?
“What a sin.”
Mother Wang shook her head, completely disappointed in her eldest son.
She stood up, “Let’s not talk about them. I’ll go make you something to eat.”
After the meal, Wang Mei took Yun Jiao and the others to the locust tree forest.
She had originally promised to take Yun Jiao there.
There were people raising bees here. Before they even approached the locust tree forest, they heard the buzzing sound.
The locust flowers had already withered, but there was a valley of wild flowers behind this mountain.
These bees could still go to other places to collect nectar.
“Uncle Tie, do you still have locust honey?”
Wang Mei and the children found the beekeeper.
There were very few people who specialized in raising bees at this time, so this honey was very valuable and easy to sell.
“Meizi is back. Yes, we still have some.”
While they were discussing the honey, Yun Jiao, with great courage, had already run to the beehive and squatted down, curiously watching the bees coming and going.
Domesticated bees were relatively gentle in nature; even with someone squatting by the entrance, they didn’t attack her.
Of course, Yun Jiao wouldn’t rashly try to take honey.
Although she really wanted to eat it.
She could already smell the sweet scent emanating from the beehive.
“These bees don’t sting people.”
Yun Xiaowu leaned even closer, but his joy was short-lived. A bee landed on his nose.
In a panic, Yun Xiaowu reached out to swat it, and then…
“Ouch!!!”
Accompanied by Yun Xiaowu’s screams, those nearby were startled, and the adults quickly ran over.
“Aiyo, why did you get so close? Are you okay? Where did you get stung? Let me see quickly.”
Yun Xiaowu held his nose miserably, tears welling up in his eyes, but he stubbornly didn’t cry out loud.
“Quickly take your hand away. The stinger needs to be removed.”
This type of bee had only one stinger on its tail, and it could only use this stinger once in its lifetime.
Because of this sting, their tail stinger, along with a piece of flesh from their rear, would fall off, and the bee would not survive.
Yun Xiaowu still had the stinger on his nose. After the stinger was removed, his nose was red and visibly swelled up at a rapid pace.
Wang Tie, the beekeeper, quickly applied some medicine to him.
“Serves you right for getting so close.”
Yun Xiaowu said bitterly, “Everyone was standing so close, why was it only me who got stung?”
Yun Xiaoqi, Yun Xiao Ba, and the others held back their laughter because their Fifth Brother with a swollen nose was too funny, hahaha…
Yun Jiao also laughed, her shoulders shaking.
Yun Xiaowu looked at them with resentment.
After buying two jars of locust honey, they left.
As soon as they returned to the Wang family home, Yun Xiaowu, with a resentful expression, dug a spoonful of honey to mix with water.
Father and Mother Wang also drank some. However, the two elders looked pained and stopped after a small cup, only urging the children to drink more.
Yun Jiao and the others wanted to play there for a while longer. The pig had already been taken away by the tractor that Yun Linhe and Yun Linhai had borrowed.
Wang Mei temporarily stayed at the Wang family home with the children.
On a night with a large moon and many stars, two cooling mats were spread on the roof, and the children lay side by side on the mats, looking at the stars.
“There are many fireflies in the woods over there. Look quickly, they’re flying!”
Following where Yun Xiaoqi pointed, everyone looked towards the bamboo forest behind the house and indeed saw many small points of light flying up.
