Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army
Chapter 68 Getting stronger with old age
"This person is so shameless, so brazen!"
"I've lived in someone else's house for so many years, and not only did he not pay me, he didn't even say thank you. He really treats it as his own home!"
"But they did..."
"You better get out of here. No matter what, you shouldn't occupy someone else's house. It's useless to act pitiful now!"
The old man listened clearly to the words of the people around him, looked at the family of three in front of the door with an uncertain expression, and did not speak again, because no matter what he said, it would seem pale.
It might even be counterproductive if he said too much and caused unhappiness. The only thing he could do now was to wait, wait for the other party's reply, wait... for the final destination of his family.
Li Ying snorted coldly and said slowly, "We have lived here for so many years, so I think we have done our best, right? Please move out quickly, I still need to clean up the house."
"This..." The old man looked embarrassed. It was not right for him to move away, and it was even worse not to move. But where could he take his family to when he was so old?
The old man didn't know whether the result today would be different if he had not robbed and robbed at the beginning, but he knew clearly who was the person who caused him to fall into this situation.
That was his wife, Mei Hong, who was now kneeling on the ground, screaming and crying. She looked so miserable that he could hardly bear to look at her.
When he thought of the other party's crazy demands and harm in the past, his body trembled, he felt a slight phantom pain, and his face turned pale.
"It's all because of you. If you hadn't been so intent on stealing, this wouldn't have happened! It's all your fault, you crazy woman. You can't blame me for looking for someone else!"
The old man said something in his heart, and then, under the gaze of everyone, he nodded, helped his daughter-in-law up with a deathly pale face, and patted her gently on the back, as if to comfort her.
"Old woman, we will have no home from now on." The old man's voice was weak, as if he was mumbling in a dream.
But some people around who were listening felt a little sympathy, and instantly seemed to have forgotten the fact that they had occupied someone else's house.
"This is really pitiful."
"Alas, life is not easy for everyone, so let's be merciful when we can!"
"Oh no, are you two crazy too? You've been living in someone else's house for so many years, it's good enough that you didn't kick them out immediately!"
"That's right, what are you thinking? If you feel sorry for him, take him home and worship him! Don't talk without any hesitation!"
After being scolded like this, the others who still had sympathy and were planning to speak out to persuade him suddenly became dejected and dared not even think about speaking again.
The old man looked around, then looked at his daughter who was standing next to him, waving her hands and feet around, wondering what she was thinking.
The woman at this moment had a strange expression on her face. She opened her mouth as wide as possible and laughed loudly towards the sky. Her shrill voice was piercing as she filed into the crowd.
It makes people feel as if they want to be a thousand miles away immediately. It is a very strange expression, and also the most hurtful, it is disgust and betrayal.
Li Ying spoke in a cold voice, as if she was oblivious to everything in front of her, and said: "Go back and clean up, and don't do housework in front of my house. My house can't stand so many troubles!"
After these words were spoken, the old man's face became even more bitter. The wrinkles on his face, which were full of vicissitudes of life, seemed to have added many more at this moment. He bent over, making him look much older.
He knew that the possibility of getting the house back was slim, but no matter how unwilling he was, he could do nothing about it, as it was indeed his family that was rude first.
With a deep sigh, the old man took his wife and walked away step by step. After walking a few steps, he turned back and shouted angrily: "Go home and don't embarrass yourself here!"
"I'm embarrassing myself?" The young woman grinned. Her face, which used to be pretty, was now twisted and hideous.
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't planned to marry me to that old pockmarked man, I wouldn't have needed to ask for help. If I hadn't asked for help, how could this have happened?"
The woman gritted her teeth and screamed, "It's all because of you! It's all because of you!!"
All of a sudden, the old man felt tired. It was not a physical problem, but even if he was twenty years younger, he would still feel as tired as if he was carrying a mountain on his back.
This kind of tiredness is mental tiredness, and it is the feeling that comes from an incompetent father after being scolded by his daughter.
However, this only lasted for a moment, and the old man's mind was occupied by other things again. There was a barely perceptible ruthlessness in his sharp eyes.
He loosened his hand, let go of his wife, and walked towards his daughter. With every step he took, the look in his eyes changed, just a little bit.
The old man's daughter didn't care about all this. She continued to speak at the top of her voice, as if she was expressing all the skills she had acquired throughout her life, and her words kept flowing.
"Are you done?" The old man's voice was very low, as if he was enduring something, and it sounded like a low roar, shaking his throat.
Without waiting for the woman to respond, the old man raised his right hand and swung a punch, hitting the woman hard, even making a loud noise.
While everyone was still shocked, the old man continued to move. He immediately leaned over and threw two punches. His old body was not as fragile as it looked. Instead, he felt almost the same as a middle-aged man.
After being hit by these three punches, the woman fell to the ground, mumbling something, and then no sound came out of her. It was obvious that she was unconscious and had passed out.
At this time, the people around finally came to their senses and rushed forward. Two middle-aged men worked together to pull the old man away, but they were only able to barely control him. If they were not careful, he would probably break free.
Although everyone was surprised at the old man's swift hands and feet and his recent behavior, now was obviously not the time to care about these things. The most important thing was whether the woman who had just been punched three times was still breathing.
"Don't come over here. You are not allowed to bully my girl. No!" Mei Hong put her whole body between her daughter and her husband, her voice hoarse.
Among the villagers at the front, one of them bravely checked the patient's breathing, then quickly withdrew his hand and said thankfully, "Fortunately, he's still breathing. He can be saved!"
"Well, you young guys, give a hand and carry him to the doctor." An old man with a white beard instructed.
Su Ping's family also went to the front in the crowd to check the situation. After all, this was their doorstep. If someone suddenly died at their doorstep, they would probably not feel good.
The young men lifted the girl and her mother, Mei Hong, and took them to the village doctor's pharmacy.
As for the people who stayed behind, they all turned their eyes to the old man. This time no one felt pity for him. Some looked at him with contempt, disdain, or ridicule.
The coldness in the eyes of Su Ping's family of three did not diminish because of this, because one thing at a time, his current situation was ultimately not his family's problem, and he could not blame anyone else.
"Find a place to live as soon as possible and move out. My house is still useful." Li Ying said slowly in a much calmer tone.
The old man's eyes were bloodshot, and his struggle gradually weakened. He sighed heavily again, collapsed to the ground, and said nothing.
In the final analysis, this was also his fault. Perhaps he should have stopped it at the beginning. Perhaps he could have discovered it in time and given proper advice. Even if he had not met Mei Hong...
A woman who already had some problems in her character found a man with a bad heart, but one that he hid deeply. The child they gave birth to also went astray because of the influence of his environment and the lack of proper guidance.
It was precisely this detour that caused things that would not have been mentioned to once again appear in everyone's eyes, causing the family to almost be ruined and the family to be on the verge of breaking up.
They created the cause, and naturally they have to bear the consequences themselves. Previously, they took away the house that did not belong to them, and today they will lose this shelter and the property will be returned to its original owner.
Everything started with this couple and ended with their child. It was such a coincidence that the old man was confused.
He was immersed in his own world, constantly thinking and asking questions. He was asking, "Why, why is this happening?"
No one answered, and no one could answer, because he in the outside world had already fainted and was unconscious.
No one knew the confusion in the old man's heart after he fell into a coma. After leaving the old man on the side of the road, they dispersed.
Those who did not leave included Su Ping's family, because their home was here, as well as Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, who refuted many remarks that were unfavorable to Su Ping's family in the newly-arising discussion.
Li Ying looked around, finally finding herself in this quiet place, and sighed softly, a wry smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.
Aunt Zhang saw her expression and said slowly, "Okay, Xiaoying, now the matter is almost resolved. Smile more. You look better when you smile!"
"Aunt Zhang, please stop joking with me. It's all the same." Li Ying shook her head and said, "I'm fine..."
Aunt Zhang chuckled and said, "Which one is it? If you don't believe me, ask Su, is it better to smile?"
Hearing this, Su Yue nodded immediately, with a determined look on his face, and said: "Xiaoying, you look best when you smile!"
"Then does it look ugly when I don't smile?" Li Ying said mischievously with her eyes slightly closed.
Su Yue scratched his head and said blankly: "It's beautiful, of course it's beautiful, Xiaoying is the most beautiful no matter what!"
This casual remark made Su Ping, who was silent beside him, look helpless. His parents were so loving, why did he seem like an outsider?
Maybe it's an illusion?
Uncle Zhang folded his arms and said nothing, but when he looked at the silly-looking boy, he burst into laughter, and laughed very happily.
