Chapter 14
Yundong Teaches Her Brother
“Come, repeat what you said just now. I didn’t hear you clearly.” Gu Yundong gestured with her knife and looked at the little girl opposite her with a smile.
The latter looked at the knife in horror and her face turned pale. She could not help but swallow her saliva. “You, what do you want to do?”
“I’m not trying to do anything. Don’t be nervous. Be good and say what you said just now. Don’t be afraid. I won’t cut you…”
Before she could finish speaking, the other party was so frightened that she took two steps back. She lost her balance and fell to the ground.
However, Gu Yundong took a step towards her. The knife’s light approached her like a ferocious ghost. The little girl immediately screamed and cried. She stood up in a hurry and ran away while crying.
Gu Yundong shook her head. “She’s as brave as a mouse. How dare she ask me to be her maid?”
“Big Sister, what should we do?” Gu Yunshu asked worriedly.
“What do you mean?”
“Fu Lanzhi said that Younger Aunt asked her to pass the message. Younger Aunt is an elder.”
Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows and reached out to pat his small shoulder. She said solemnly, “You treat her as your aunt, but does she treat you as her nephew? Every time she sees us, she either hits us or scolds us or mocks us. She doesn’t even treat our father as her elder brother. How can she be considered our elder? Didn’t Father teach us that we can’t repay others treating us badly with kindness? We’ll treat her the way others treat us. Yunshu, remember, we don’t take the initiative to provoke others, but if others dare to bully us, we can’t stand still and not retaliate. Do you understand?”
Gu Yunshu nodded as if he understood. After thinking for a while in a daze, he understood. “Younger Aunt doesn’t act like an elder. Fu Lanzhi doesn’t treat our parents like she is a junior. I know what to do.”
Gu Yundong nodded in satisfaction. Then, she saw him clench his fists and say, “The next time she comes, I’ll spit on her.”
“…” The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. She coughed lightly. “Well, spitting on her is too rude. We can resolve the matter in a more refined manner.”
Gu Yunshu blinked. “How so?”
As he spoke, he saw Gu Qiuyue walking over angrily with Fu Lanzhi. Before she could approach, she started scolding, “Gu Yundong, you motherless thing. How dare you bully my Lanzhi? Without your grandparents around, you don’t think much of me, your aunt, right? I’ll teach you the rules on your grandparents’ behalf today, lest you don’t even understand the most basic filial piety towards your elders. In the future, you’ll embarrass the Gu family and become a joke if word gets out.”
As Gu Qiuyue spoke, she swung her hand and was about to slap Gu Yundong’s face.
However, halfway through, her hand stopped. She looked at the dagger blocking her way and shivered. She couldn’t hit no matter what.
“Gu Yundong, you…”
“Do you know whose blood this is?” Gu Yundong waved the dagger in his hand. “Yesterday, the blood on it was still bright red. Today, it has turned dark, and the smell of blood is not very strong. But I think someone who is not blind can still see it, right?”
“What do you want to do?”
“I don’t want to do anything. I just feel that there are so many self-righteous fools in this world. Yesterday, I met two of them. Not only did they want to snatch my things, but they also wanted to drag my sister and brother away to sell them. I took out this dagger at that time and aimed it at someone’s neck…”
