Northeast: My Absurd Woman

Chapter 156 Disgusting Behavior

Guan Yutian stood up and sat on the edge of the kang like a child, nagging Yang Wuni.

"Changyao, Wuni, should I go back? These kids really can't do without me."

Seeing Guan Yutian being chased out, Li Yue'e felt uneasy and wanted to go back with him.

"Second sister-in-law, don't go back. I'll send Yutian back right now."

I refuse to believe my second brother could kick Yutian out in front of me.

Zhang Changyao grabbed Guan Yutian's arm, and the two stumbled and staggered towards the door.

I hadn't gone far when I bumped into someone hurrying towards me.

"Who?" Zhang Changyao was startled. He turned sideways and leaned closer to look.

"Changyao, it's me, Zhai Qingming." Zhai Qingming stopped when he recognized Zhang Changyao.

"Qingming, what are you doing in the dark?" Zhang Changyao recognized the voice as Zhai Qingming's.

"Changyao, I need your help. Qingliang isn't home, and the kang (heated brick bed) in my backyard collapsed because of San'er's fire."

The children had nowhere to sleep, so they started fighting inside the house.

"Hurry up and help me pave the kang (heated brick bed). We need to make do for tonight, and we'll fix it properly tomorrow morning."

Zhai Qingming didn't even ask Zhang Changyao if he agreed, and just pulled him away.

Guan Yutian, who loved to join in the fun, followed the two of them eagerly.

Just as Zhai Qingming had said, the room was filled with thick, smoky dust.

San'er and Si'er were wrestling. San'er pinned Si'er's waist with one leg, preventing him from moving.

Fourth Brother also gave in, grabbing Third Brother's hands with both of his and scratching out several bloody welts.

Third Brother slapped Fourth Brother across the face, and Fourth Brother spat out a mouthful of sticky phlegm onto Third Brother's face.

San'er nimbly tilted his head to dodge, leaving the large, sticky phlegm with no point of leverage.

It returned the way it came and landed "smack" on the tip of Si'er's nose.

"Fourth Brother, pinch Third Brother's inner thigh, that's where it hurts the most."

Fourth Brother, quickly tickle Third Brother's armpits, he's ticklish.

Zhai Ling sat in a corner at the end of the kang (a heated brick bed), clapping her hands as she watched the commotion.

"Get up right now, you're such a worry every day."

Zhai Qingming kicked San'er in the buttocks, making San'er's eyes pop out.

"What? Are you trying to rebel?" Zhai Qingming went up and shoved a stick into San'er's arm.

"Little San'er, you and your older brother have a match, let's see who's stronger."

"If you win, will your older brother never dare to hit you again?"

Guan Yutian, always eager for a good show, fanned the flames from the sidelines.

"Little Si'er, you get up too." This angered Zhai Qingming, who kicked Little Si'er in the foot.

"Big brother, third brother is riding on me, how can I get up? All you do is bully me."

Little Si'er felt wronged, so he opened his mouth and began to wail with all his might.

"Third son, I heard from your eldest brother that you treat Fourth son the best."

"If it weren't for you watching over Xiao Si'er, he wouldn't be alive today." Zhang Changyao patted Xiao San'er on the shoulder and praised him.

Upon hearing this, Xiao San'er immediately stood up, and also pulled Xiao Si'er up with her.

"Brother Changyao... Brother Changyao, my third brother is desperately shoveling and smashing things into the hole in the kang (heated brick bed), making a loud thud, and he can't even kick it."

I told him to light it first, but he refused, kicked my butt, and yelled at me to get lost.

After he lights it, guess what happens?

With a "thud," Ya Dan was slammed onto the dining table.

Zhai Qingming's fourth brother, that quick-witted know-it-all, dragged Zhang Changyao along to learn how to make a kang (heated brick bed).

"Little Si'er, why didn't you get up? Weren't you sitting on the kang (heated brick bed)?"

Zhang Changyao, leaning on his shovel, watched Xiao Si'er gesturing.

"Brother Changyao... I... I wasn't on the kang, but I jumped up and fell... fell into the kang hole."

Look...look at my butt, it almost caught fire!

Little Si touched the holes in his buttocks and glared at his third brother with sidelong glances.

"I told you to heat the kang (a traditional heated brick bed), but you wouldn't, and then you complained. If you don't deserve it, I'll shove you into a hole."

The third child was strong and muscular. His everted lips were so angry with the fourth child that he smirked and raised his hand to hit the fourth child.

Xiao Si'er was already thin and hunched over. He was so frightened that he curled up into a ball and hid behind the door, not daring to say another word.

Ya Dan's chubby body was covered in wood ash, which he rubbed repeatedly.

I wanted to clean the dust off the two topknots that were tied up.

Guan Yutian was perceptive and didn't wait for Zhai Qingming to instruct him.

He went up to help Zhang Changyao remove the mud bricks that had fallen into the kang (heated brick bed).

In my haste, I didn't repair it properly and just slapped mud on a bunch of pieces.

Zhai Qingming covered the kang with a mat and then asked San'er and Si'er to fetch firewood to heat the kang.

Zhang Changyao and Guan Yutian left Zhai Qingming's house. Guan Yutian strode ahead, pulling Zhang Changyao along in a hurry.

"Yutian, go back by yourself. Your third uncle has some things to take care of and will come to your house after he's done."

Zhang Changyao couldn't keep up with him, so he wanted to find an excuse to send him home.

"Third Uncle, you lied to me. I knew you didn't want to come to my house."

My wife said you're just a busybody; my mother wouldn't dare leave home without your involvement.

She also said, "I'll go to your house tomorrow and fight you, let's see if you dare to protect my mother again."

Guan Yutian refused to let go and continued walking, pulling Zhang Changyao along.

"This Wang Shuqin has gone too far, but I'm not going to bother her. What can she do to me?"

If she were to come to my house and cause trouble, your third aunt would chop her in two.

Zhang Changyao was seething with anger, so he walked much faster.

The lights were off at Guan Lin's house; they were probably all asleep.

The two tiptoed into the courtyard, and just as Guan Yutian was about to pull the door open...

A rustling sound came from his room. Zhang Changyao grabbed Guan Yutian's hand to stop him from opening the door.

"Second brother, I brought Yutian back, why don't you let Yutian sleep at home?"

You know this child is timid; he's never dared to stay at other people's houses since he was little.

"Get down and open the door for us quickly, don't let the child get cold."

Zhang Changyao pretended to pull hard on the door, but couldn't open it, to show Guan Yutian.

The sound of someone getting out of bed came from Guan Yutian's house, and then the door opened; it was Guan Lin.

Zhang Changyao's suspicions were confirmed, and he blushed so much that he didn't dare to look up at Guan Lin.

He never imagined that his respected second brother would become like this.

"Changyao, come inside. Your second brother has something to tell you."

Guan Lin grabbed Zhang Changyao, who was about to leave, and pulled him into his room.

Guan Yutian saw that the door to his room was open, so he grinned and pushed the door open to go inside.

"Changyao, do you think your second brother is doing something inhuman? Do you know the bitterness in your second brother's heart?"

Over the years, I can count on my fingers the number of times your second sister-in-law has let me touch her.

I'm a grown man, and not that old, how could I possibly stand this?

I had no choice but to end up like this.

Guan Lin glanced at the children on the kang (a heated brick bed) who were already fast asleep, and then complained to Zhang Changyao, feeling wronged.

"Guan Yutian, I'll smash you to death with a teacup of liquor, now get the hell out of here."
