Chapter 104 Psychological Problems

When the uncle finished his meal, in the awkward atmosphere, he reluctantly said to Zhang Xingwang:

"I'm going to work."

Zhang Xingwang saw a hint of hatred and timidity in his eyes.

When the uncle-in-law found that no one paid attention to him, he slowly stood up and went out. When he went out, he slammed the door with his left hand, making a loud bang. Zhang Xingwang saw that as soon as he stood up, the uncle-in-law covered his right arm and ran out of the yard quickly.

The younger sister-in-law was busy clearing the dishes on the table, and she couldn't hide the panic in her eyes.

Zhang Xingwang went over and gently patted his aunt's arm, saying softly:

"Aunt, don't worry. I can handle it. You and my little cousin can rest at home in the afternoon. If you really can't stay idle, you can clean up the house or the yard."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards his cousin's room. When he arrived, he didn't knock on the door, but pushed it open directly. He saw his cousin sitting at the head of the bed, with lifeless eyes, in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Zhang Xingwang waved at him and asked him to come out with him. Then the two of them left the yard and came to the pile of earth again.

Zhang Xingwang looked at his cousin, lit a cigarette, gave him two candies, and then started chatting with the boy. He was full of doubts about his cousin.

The two brothers chatted for quite a while before Zhang Xingwang realized that his cousin really had a lot of problems with his character. From what his cousin said and some information he knew, he could roughly infer why his cousin had become like this.

The cousin was also a normal boy three years ago, but since the original owner's father passed away, he felt that his family had changed a lot. His father scolded his mother for everything, and he used to go out to work, but he was lazy occasionally.

From then on, the cousin watched his father become even worse, and only went out to work every few days. He thought it was very strange at the time, but his father told him that his mother came to his house to work, and if she had married someone else, she would have starved to death long ago.

Zhang Xingwang thought that it must be his uncle who thought that since his aunt had no man, he could bully her at will. But the problem was that his 10-year-old cousin felt something was wrong, but after hearing it so many times, he believed it.

Until a year ago, my father got very angry because of my mother's subsidy to her parents' home. The family was in chaos for several days. My cousin secretly went to find the village chief, who told him that it was their family affair and asked him to stop his father.

Later, he tried to persuade and stop it, and was even beaten by his father for trying to stop it. But in the end, he was silenced by his uncle on the grounds that "it's not right to subsidize your mother's family" and "we are the only ones with the same surname." Moreover, his mother did not refute when his father said that. He slowly let go of his father's hand, and was very confused. He knew that it was wrong for his father to beat people, but he wanted to know why his mother did not refute it. In addition, his friends laughed at him for this incident and said all kinds of things.

He couldn't figure it out, so he just ignored it. Seeing other couples in the village loving each other and having harmonious families, the cousin gradually felt unbalanced and became taciturn. He liked to stay in the house every day and only his sister would talk to him.

After listening to this, Zhang Xingwang felt that this cousin could still be saved. He was only 13 years old and his values ​​were not fully formed. If he waited another two years, he would probably not be able to change. Zhang Xingwang looked up at his cousin and asked in a deep voice:

"Why didn't you stop me when I beat your father?"

After listening to this, my cousin raised his head and said as a matter of course:

"Dad only scolded you at that time, and when you said you wanted to collect interest on mom's behalf, Dad didn't refute you."

Zhang Xingwang felt uncomfortable after listening to this. It seemed that his cousin's values ​​were indeed distorted. He was probably waiting in the yard for his uncle to refute before coming over to mediate.

It seems that in his opinion, if you don't argue when you are beaten, it means you deserve it. My uncle-in-law deserves it.

What Zhang Xingwang didn't expect was that his cousin actually had a good relationship. When his cousin got two candies, she immediately ran over and gave one to her brother. As for the bicycle, it was his curious sister who told him about it.

Seeing that he was always alone at home, his uncle encouraged him to ride a bike for fun. After his cousin fell, he saw Zhang Xingwang coming and actually wanted to get close to his cousin.

He thought his cousin would not laugh at him like the other kids in the village. But he stayed at home every day, had no friends and couldn't express himself, which left a bad impression on Zhang Xingwang.

Finally, the two brothers chatted for a while, and it seemed that this cousin needed to be reformed. However, Zhang Xingwang was not very professional in this area, so he could only leave it to the teacher.

After all, what his uncle-in-law told him were all old ideas, but it will take some time to eliminate these ideas. Only from books can he learn the right things.

Just as the two of them were chatting, they saw five people coming towards them from the intersection. One of them was walking in front with his arm hanging in a menacing manner.

Zhang Xingwang stood up and walked towards the gate. Suddenly, his sleeve was pulled by his cousin. His cousin said in a panic:

"Cousin, come back to the house with me."

Zhang Xingwang did not answer, but pulled his cousin into the yard and said to him:

"Go back inside and come out later."

Then he turned to the little girl who was about to run out, glared at her and shouted:

"Aunt, don't come out and make trouble. Bring my little sister with you and wait in the house."

Zhang Xingwang was not stupid. No matter who these people were, as long as they entered the yard, it would be a family matter. If they fought outside the door, they were from the same village after all, and he would definitely not end up well.

We can't just shoot them all. And if we have to be tough, we have to be tough to the end, so Zhang Xingwang didn't waste any words. After these people entered the yard, he reached to his waist and took out a brick, and rushed over without saying a word.

Of the four people who came, two were my uncle's relatives, and the remaining two were his cronies.

Originally, the brother-in-law wanted to say some polite words and come up with a wave of language formulas. Anyway, there are five people on his side, so how he wants to educate him depends on his mood.

Unexpectedly, this guy didn't play by the rules. Looking at the bricks coming towards him, he only had one thought in his mind:

"Are today's young people so wild?"

He barely had time to raise his left hand to block the brick, and then he felt a piercing pain in his left arm. Then he felt pain all over his face. Accompanied by screams and curses from the side, my uncle-in-law slowly fell to the ground.
