Yan Zhengxing was not a very courageous person. Just as Chu Xiao said, the reason why he dared to yell at Yan Zhengdao and hit a young child was because he took advantage of Yan Zhengdao's guilt towards him.

Therefore, after Yan Zhengdao had a fight with him twelve years ago, he no longer dared to be so presumptuous. This time, if he hadn't heard from a drinking buddy that a wealthy nobleman wanted to buy that land to build a farm, and if he had land there, he could get at least ten taels per acre, then he would have been interested.

Living in the village, he naturally knew that Chu Xiao was not someone he was going to mess with, but thinking that he was the elder and Yan Zhengdao still felt guilty about him, he took the initiative to go to the door and call him "Fourth Brother". In order to resolve the grudge, Yan Zhengdao would probably agree to anything.

I never thought that I would be rejected and even ridiculed by Chu Xiao.

"Yan Zhengdao, you just watch your son-in-law scold his fifth uncle. Do you think you can't even make decisions for this family now that you are disabled?" Yan Zhengxing ignored Chu Xiao and questioned Yan Zhengdao.

"Back then you said you would go and exchange me back, but you never went. Otherwise I wouldn't have been washed away by the flood. Don't you owe me a life? If I didn't come back alive, you would owe me a life."

Yan Zhengdao wanted to open his mouth to refute, but he didn't know what to say. Chu Xiao didn't hesitate: "That's really funny. Why didn't my father go? That's because grandpa was sick and needed someone to take care of him. If my father went, he would be the one washed away by the flood. What can you compensate my father? I'm afraid you can't even give him an acre of land. Watch my mother and two children fend for themselves."

"Yan Zhengxing, my father is kind-hearted and won't bother with you. Otherwise, you should go to jail for wanting to throw my second brother to death and then attacking the two children."

"Besides, how did your aunt treat you? How did my father treat you? Are you blind? If you really want to say who owes whom, then you owe my second brother and my husband. If you had been more aggressive, that would have been two lives. My father had no intention of harming you, but you did."

"How dare you show off your power here? I tell you the truth. Even if my land is confiscated and I get nothing for it, I will not sell it to you. Since you threatened to break off the relationship, then do it thoroughly. There is no fourth brother here, and you are not anyone's elder."

Chu Xiao usually never gets angry when he confronts the Chu family, and he even feels like he is teasing a group of mice. But this time he was really angry and wanted to beat up the person in front of him. How dark must his heart be to hit a child again and again.

When he thought of his ten-year-old brother Shen being beaten so hard that he couldn't get off the kang, he became furious.

"You, you..." Yan Zhengxing was a bully who only bullied the weak and feared the strong. He was speechless at what he was saying and even looked at Zhao Guizhi for help. His fourth sister-in-law was also a soft-hearted person.

Zhao Guizhi turned her eyes away from him, her eyes even reddened. She had been wronged during those years, but her own man could not abandon his brothers and indulged her again and again. What else could she do?

The frustration and helplessness in her heart were now expressed by Chu Xiao, and she felt relieved but also an unspeakable sadness.

"Get out." Chu Xiao shouted.

Yan Zhengxing felt ashamed and wanted to save some face, so he just stood there with his neck stiff and looked at Yan Zhengdao.

Chu Xiao sneered and shouted to the backyard: "Taxue, bite him out for me."

The sound of a dog barking was then heard from the quiet backyard. Taxue jumped out from the fence connecting the front and back yards and pounced on Yan Zhengxing ferociously.

Yan Zhengxing was so scared that he screamed and turned to run. Taxue wanted to chase him, but was stopped by Yan Zhenshen.

Taxue looked at Yan Zhenshen blankly and then at Chu Xiao. Since the two masters had a disagreement, who should it listen to?

"Taxue, come back." Chu Xiao finally got rid of the anger in his chest. He had to say that for a moment he really wanted Taxue to tear that man to pieces. However, he also knew that this was not the end of the world and killing was illegal. Even if the person was fine, the vicious dog would have hurt people, so Taxue would not be able to stay here in the future.

It was the first time that Yan Zhenshen saw her husband so furious. He strode over and held him in his arms. He didn't know how to comfort him so he could only call him "husband".

Chu Xiao was hugged and tears instantly fell, with a look of grievance: "Brother Shen, he hit you, he actually hit you."

Yan Zhenshen now knew what her husband was angry about, and hugged him tighter, "Don't cry, it's all over."

After saying that, she kissed her husband hard on the forehead. He had been beaten so hard that he had a high fever for three days. He was in a daze and even thought he was going to die.

"Husband, no one can hit me anymore, please don't be angry." Yan Zhenshen coaxed gently.

Chu Xiao didn't want to say anything, so he buried his face in Yan Zhenshen's arms and sobbed.

Yan Zhengdao sighed helplessly when he saw Chu Xiao crying. In fact, sometimes he also hated himself. He hated himself for always being soft-hearted, hated himself for being incompetent and not being able to protect the child, and hated his brothers as well. Why didn't any of them treat him sincerely?

How could Zhao Guizhi not know what her man was thinking? She collected her thoughts, smiled, and said in a joking tone: "Xiao brother, you were so fierce just now, why are you crying like a child now?"

"To my mother, I am just a child." Chu Xiao raised his head with red eyes and spoke with a muffled nasal tone.

Zhao Guizhi came over and touched his hair: "Well, you will always be a child in front of your mother, Xiao Ge'er, I want to thank you for what happened today. Your father is soft-hearted, and I also..."

Zhang Guizhi couldn't continue. She had a clear conscience towards these brothers of the Yan family, but she would feel resentful whenever she mentioned them, but she couldn't tell what she was resentful about.

"Mom, I'll be at home from now on. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I'll scold them back. If you can't win, let Brother Shen beat them up." Chu Xiao sniffed and said childishly.

Chu Xiao knew that this family was kind-hearted, otherwise they would not be so nice to him. Even his brother Shen was like this. Although he always had a stern face and a blank expression, he would never bully others just because he was tall and strong. However, since ancient times, kind people have been bullied. You can be kind but you cannot always indulge the wicked.

Zhao Guizhi smiled and nodded: "Okay, from now on, we will let Xiaoge be the head of our family."

After saying that, he looked at Yan Zheng and said, "You don't object, do you?"

Yan Zhengdao touched his nose awkwardly, then smiled and said, "No objection."

Yan Zhenshen naturally had no objection. He always listened to his husband anyway, so he smiled and nodded.

Chu Xiao was dumbfounded. How did things turn out like this? How did he become the head of the family for no apparent reason?

"Mom, how can I be the head of the family? I don't know anything." Chu Xiao didn't dare to agree, and quickly asked Yan Zhenshen for help: "Brother Shen, don't just smile foolishly, say something."

"Listen to my mother." Yan Zhenshen said and added: "Listen to my husband from now on."

Chu Xiao always thought that Yan Zhenshen was his perfect assist, but at this moment this perfect assist became a stupid teammate.
