Chapter 1710: Chapter 1649: Group Favorite Novel Counterpart Group 79_2
Xiao Erguang finally understood at this moment.
He took a gulp of his drink anxiously: "Big brother is really too muddle-headed. Leizi getting a divorce wasn’t enough, now he wants to mess things up so you won’t have Anning, wanting you to get a divorce too."
Isn’t that just the case.
Who doesn’t know how formidable Anning is now?
Her wits, her competence in handling matters, she’s more capable than ten men combined. Not to mention, the Pei Family does not just have Anning; counting Pei Yu, there are five daughters in total, each of them extremely capable. Xiao Yuan’s current achievements would not have been possible without the help of the Pei family girls.
If Xiao Yuan dares to take Size back to be raised, the first person who wouldn’t let him off is Anning. She might end up demanding a divorce, and if those Pei daughters start making a scene, who could withstand it? By then, Xiao Yuan might end up leaving with nothing, not only getting no money or assets, but the children might even end up with the Pei Family.
The more Xiao Erguang thought about it, the more alarmed he became: "Does Anning know about this?"
Xiao Yuan shook his head: "No, I wouldn’t dare tell her, you know her temper. If she really starts making a fuss, I wouldn’t be able to handle it."
When Sixth Grandpa thought of Anning’s capabilities, he couldn’t help but feel a shiver of fear.
Back when Anning was setting up the factory, those ruffians from both the town and county gave her quite a hard time, but in the end? No matter who came, Anning had them all under control, even managing to get the county’s ruffian boss to work as the head of security at the food factory. Nowadays, whenever people mention Anning in town, or even in the county, they all give a thumbs up.
Though this girl always looks cheerful, seemingly easy-going, speaking politely to everyone, if truly provoked, even the men of the Xiao Family couldn’t withstand her wrath.
Sixth Grandpa patted Xiao Yuan’s shoulder: "This matter, your Second Uncle and I will handle it. We’ll go have a good talk with your parents, ask them if they’ve had enough of the good life, or if they want to stir up trouble until the whole family is in disarray."
Only then did Xiao Yuan smile: "I appreciate it, Sixth Grandpa and Second Uncle. You can go talk to my parents later, I’ll go find Xiao Lei; he’s been drifting for years, it’s time for him to walk the Righteous Path."
As he spoke, Xiao Yuan rubbed his wrist.
"What are you going to do?"
Xiao Erguang looked fearfully at Xiao Yuan’s demeanor.
Xiao Yuan smiled and said: "Nothing much, just teaching him how to be a proper person, letting him know he should raise his own child, and I’ll teach him what respect for elders and caring for the young really means."
Sixth Grandpa gave Xiao Erguang a tug, so Xiao Erguang didn’t bring it up again.
After they ate, Xiao Yuan got up to leave.
Xiao Erguang was quite worried: "Sixth Uncle, what’s Xiao Yuan up to? He won’t seriously hurt Leizi, will he?"
Sixth Grandpa shook his head: "Don’t worry, Yuanzi knows his limits, besides, Leizi does need some proper upbringing. He’s a father now; he can’t continue being so unreliable."
That afternoon, Xiao Lei was cornered by Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan brought several security guards from the food factory to block him in an alley, both ends of the alley were lined with people, cutting off Xiao Lei’s escape. Xiao Yuan personally beat him, making him cry out for his parents.
When passers-by saw Xiao Yuan beating up someone, they thought of stepping in to intervene, but Xiao Yuan just said: "Don’t butt in, we’re blood brothers; I’m angry because my brother doesn’t care for our parents, so I’m teaching him a lesson."
Upon hearing this, people dared not interfere any further.
After all, it’s family matters, whoever meddles won’t get any thanks.
Xiao Yuan’s method of beating was unique, causing Xiao Lei excruciating pain while barely leaving any visible injuries, nor causing harm to his body. He didn’t let Xiao Lei go until he had beaten him for over an hour.
After Xiao Yuan and the others left, Xiao Lei sat on the ground, needing another two hours to recover.
Unable to walk, he had no choice but to hire someone to take him home.
That afternoon, Xiao Daguang and Zhong Liumei were called over by Sixth Grandpa and harshly scolded. Sixth Grandpa bluntly said that if they remained oblivious and continued creating trouble for Xiao Yuan, he would take it upon himself to expel them from the Xiao Family, even mentioning that if they were willing to, they could raise Size, or else leave it to Xiao Lei or Gao Nana.
Xiao Daguang was so ashamed by Sixth Grandpa’s scolding that he couldn’t lift his head, while Zhong Liumei wanted to say something but was silenced by a glare from Sixth Grandpa: "Quiet down, when men are talking, it’s not for women to interfere."
These words scared Zhong Liumei into silence.
After being scolded, they returned home only to see Xiao Lei being carried back in.
"What happened?"
Seeing Xiao Lei in such a state, Zhong Liumei immediately burst into tears.
Xiao Lei was placed on the bed, grimacing in pain: "Why cry, I’m not dead yet, it’s the Third Brother who beat me. The Third Brother said, if you dare cause a scene again, every time you make trouble, he’ll beat me again, and he said he’s got ways to beat me to death without any consequences. Dad, Mom, I beg you, just take it easy, I can raise my own child, why do you need to bother the Third Brother, don’t you know, he nearly beat me to death."
Xiao Yuan didn’t mention this matter to Anning when he went back.
He mainly didn’t want to upset Anning and besides, he had already resolved it; there was no need for Anning to worry.
Anning only found out a few days later when she was on the phone with Zhang Xiaoyu.
Zhang Xiaoyu was quite pleased: "Anning, the Third Brother really vented for us this time. That unruly Second Brother, I’ve been annoyed with him for a long time, and I always wanted to beat him up too. Just too bad your Big Brother didn’t have the guts. But the Third Brother is incredible; he brought people and cornered the Second Brother in an alley and scared him stiff in one go. From now on, we’ll live in peace."
Upon hearing this, Anning smiled: "Second Brother has that kind of nature, he’s a bully towards the weak and a coward in front of the strong. He puts on airs, but in truth, he has no guts."
"Let me tell you, my mom called me the other day, said she saw the Second Brother with Yu Mei from Shangxi Village shopping in the county. I figure the Second Brother’s divorce from Gao Nana was because of Yu Mei."
Zhang Xiaoyu, in her excitement, began gossiping with Anning.
Anning was momentarily stunned: "You mean Bai Yumei?"
Zhang Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes, her. I asked your Big Brother; he said the Second Brother liked Bai Yumei back when he was in school, but he couldn’t marry her due to a lack of money, just had to watch as Bai Yumei married into the Liu Family in Shangxi Village. It was only the year before last that her husband died... I don’t know when the Second Brother started up with her again."
After thinking it over, Anning finally remembered what Bai Yumei looks like.
Bai Yumei is indeed quite attractive, tall with a good figure, and mainly very voluptuous, with a large bust and hips, undeniably alluring. Not just Xiao Lei, but plenty of men from the surrounding villages have their eyes on Bai Yumei.
Anning also recalled that Bai Yumei has a daughter, whom she seemed to care for deeply. Bai Yumei had mentioned that if she ever remarried, she would definitely take her daughter with her. Xiao Lei probably agreed to help raise Bai Yumei’s daughter, and that’s why she got together with him.
