Li Yuelan had been standing at the door for a while, and he could clearly hear Zhu'er's words, "How dare you molest my mother."

Li Erfu was dumbfounded when he saw Li Yuelan standing at the door. He originally thought that there was no one in their house today, but he didn't expect that one and two of them would come back at this moment.

He stared at Li Yuelan's fierce expression and retreated step by step. No one in the Zhou family could be offended.

Li Yuelan looked at Li Erfu's fair face and punched him.

Li Yuezhu had all hit Li Erfu. Even with his clothes on, no injuries could be seen. However, Li Yuelan's fists hit his face, making him unable to raise his head even when he walked out of the door.

To be honest, compared to Li Yuezhu's big stick, Li Erfu was more able to accept Li Yuelan's punches and kicks, even though Li Yuelan hit him all over his face.

After all, Li Yuelan was a weak scholar. No matter how hard he fought, it would still be a physical and physical pain for Li Erfu, but Li Yuezhu's big stick hurt his muscles and bones.

Taking advantage of Li Yuelan's unpreparedness, Li Erfu got up from the ground and ran out the door, looking as embarrassed as he could.

There were many villagers standing outside the door who heard the noise. When they saw Li Erfu running out of Li Dayi's house in panic and being beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, they knew that he had committed another crime.

Li Yuelan looked at the villagers peeping outside the door and slammed the door.

"Mom, are you okay? How many times has this killer been here?"

Zhou shook her head. She had not suffered any substantial harm. Not long after Li Erfu arrived, Li Yuezhu arrived.

"Mom is fine. I don't have to worry about you two anymore. I just heard some nonsense." Ms. Zhou felt very relieved that her son and daughter had grown up.

His mother was an out-and-out villager who had received the most feudal education and would just swallow her anger when doing many things. Li Yuezhu didn't think it was bad for her mother to be like this. It was just an environment that created such a person.

Li Yuelan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his mother was not harmed. If he knew what Li Erfu did again, he would definitely make his life worse than death.

Li Yuezhu went to the door and brought snacks brought from the mountains. These bags were filled with peanuts, melon seeds, and candied nuts. For ordinary families, these things were beyond their reach.

"Didn't my brother say that he won't be back until a few days later? He's only been away for two days. Is there anything wrong when he comes back?"

Li Yuelan took the large and small bags from Li Yuezhu and took them back to the house.

"When I returned to the college, I couldn't worry about my family. The wheat was already ripe, and my mother was the only one at home. I was afraid that the wheat harvest at home would be finished in a few days, so I asked my master for a leave and stayed at home for a few more days."

Even Li Yuezhu felt moved when he heard this, let alone Mr. Zhou.

"The Provincial Examination will be held in August this year. You don't have to worry about your family matters. Just prepare with peace of mind."

Li Yuelan pursed her lips and smiled when she heard Zhou's words, but did not answer.

But Li Yuezhu heard some clues. Tomorrow is her mother's birthday, and it's time to harvest wheat. Her brother came back specially today, he must have wanted to celebrate his mother's birthday.

"Mom, where is Xiao An?" Li Yuezhu didn't see Xiao An when he came back, and he didn't know where he went to play.

"He went out to play with Xiao Yuan and Hu Zi." Zhou looked at the sky and said, "He will be back soon."

It was only after Li Yuezhu entered the house carrying the big and small bags that her mother saw the bags sewn with silk and satin.

"Zhu'er, what are you talking about?"

"Oh, mother, this is a gift from the young master on the mountain."

"You kid, why did you go up the mountain? Didn't you say you were going to say thank you? Not only did you not carry anything in your hands, how could you bring it down from the mountain!"

The elder brother cleared the dishes for his mother, listened to his mother educating his younger sister, and also followed suit.

"Although our family is poor, a gentleman doesn't eat what comes to him. How can my sister ask for something given by others?"

Li Yuezhu listened to these words, frowned, pursed his lips, and said aggrievedly: "How do you know I didn't take anything? It's because the young master really liked the things I took, so he gave me these snacks."

of."

Li Yuelan opened the bags and saw that they were all snacks that only nobles could afford. Looking at her sister's aggrieved look, she thought about it, that young master must also be from a wealthy family, and these snacks were not worth much to them.

.

However, my sister has been acting a bit strange recently, so it seems it’s time to talk to her.

After putting away the food, Xiao An didn't come back. Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Too many things had happened in the past few days. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Ms. Zhou started to have random thoughts when Xiao An didn't come back.

"Where did the three of them, Xiao An, go to play? Why haven't they come back yet?"

Li Yuelan looked at her mother's anxious look. After serving the rice, she said to her, "Don't be anxious, mother. I'll go out and look for her right now. The three of them are probably crazy."

When his brother brought Xiao An back, he was as dirty as a little loach that had just emerged from the mud.

"Where did Xiao An go? Why did he come back covered in mud?" Although Zhou was full of blame in her words, she still wiped Xiao An's face with a towel.

"Today, Brother Xiaoyuan and I went to the Xingfu River to fish for fish with Huzi. We spent a long time fishing but we didn't catch any fish." Xiao An rubbed his nose, "Brother Xiaoyuan said yesterday that he saw a lot of fish by the Xingfu River.

As a result, I didn’t see any of them today.”

When Mrs. Zhou heard what Xiao An said, her originally gentle expression suddenly turned serious: "Didn't I tell you two days ago that I wouldn't let you go to Xingfu River anymore? Why are you such a naughty kid disobedient? Then Li Dafu

Wasn't that where he was drowned?"

Even Li Yuezhu had never seen Zhou's serious expression, but since people were drowned there, children couldn't be allowed to play there.

There were tears in the corners of Xiao An's eyes. He felt extremely wronged: "Brother Xiaoyuan tried it with a bamboo pole today. The water in the river is not deep at all. Otherwise, we would not dare to go into the water."

"You still dare to quibble, you won't listen to what mother said, will you?"

Xiao An had never been taught such a serious lesson by his mother. Seeing Mr. Zhou's serious expression, he burst into tears.

Li Yuezhu and Li Yuelan did not stop him. They both felt that Zhou was right to do this.

But Li Yuezhu frowned slightly when he heard what Xiao An said.

Xiao An cried for a long time. Li Yuezhu looked at him and his voice was hoarse from crying, so he took out the candied fruits from the side, brought them to Xiao An and said to him:

"Xiao An can no longer go to the river to play in the water. What if he drowns? My mother and brothers and sisters will be so sad."

Li Yuezhu handed the candied fruits in his hand to Xiao An, "If Xiao An agrees to sister, all these candied fruits will belong to you."

Xiao An was indeed still a child. When he saw the sweet candied fruit, he immediately stopped crying and reached for it with a sniffle.

"Xiao An hasn't promised my sister yet. You have to make an agreement with your sister before you can eat these candied fruits."

Xiao An stood there blankly. He sniffed, licked his mouth, wiped his tears with his sleeves, and said to Li Yuezhu: "Xiao An will never go to the river to play again. Not only will I not go, but I won't let him play either."
