Exile: Empty half of the capital and blow up the enemy's palace

When Mrs. Wang saw her youngest son being beaten, she was so angry that she wanted to curse, but unfortunately she couldn't make any sound. She could only stare at Zhou Dashan with fiery eyes.

"Husband!" Li called out anxiously, ran to Zhou Laosan's side, and helped him up worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Zhou Laosan was helped up by his wife. His face was burning with pain and he felt completely humiliated.

He pushed Li away and rushed towards Zhou Dashan in a rage, roaring, "Zhou Dashan! You dare to hit me! I'll fight you!"

At the moment when Zhou Laosan pounced on Zhou Dashan with his fangs bared, Yun Qingqing, who had been watching the fun quietly, flicked her fingertips slightly.

A small stone flew through the air and hit Zhou Laosan's knee accurately.

Zhou Laosan cried out in pain, his legs went limp, and he fell heavily to the ground with a thump, looking in a miserable state.

Zhou Laosan fell so hard that he saw stars. He struggled to raise his head and glared at Yun Qingqing with fiery eyes.

Seeing this, Yun Chengying stepped forward to block his view, looked down at him, and said in a cold tone:

"What are you glaring at me for? If you keep glaring at my sister with those eyeballs of yours, I'll dig them out and stomp on them like bubbles."

Zhou Laosan was so frightened by Yun Chengying's cruel and murderous words that he shuddered and became speechless for a moment.

Yun Qingqing glanced at Zhou Laosan, who was as silent as a cicada, and said to Yun Chengxi, "Seventh Brother, go get Zhou Zhou. We're going back."

Since Shuanzi's father is back, let him handle these family matters himself.

Upon hearing this, Yun Chengxi immediately responded, "Okay."

He turned around and walked quickly towards the backyard.

When Yun Chengxi arrived at the backyard, he saw Yun Zhou, Shuanzi and Yaya squatting beside the grass nest, looking at the puppies.

Shuanzi pointed at the puppies in the grass nest and introduced them enthusiastically: "Zhou Zhou, look, this one with a tuft of white hair on its head is the fattest and the most greedy. This one has a black tip on its tail and is the most mischievous, always crawling out! Which one do you want to keep? You can pick any one."

Yaya pointed to the quiet puppy in the innermost corner and said, "That one is quiet and good."

Yun Zhou looked at the puppies snuggling next to Da Huang and shook his head. "Forget it, I won't raise them anymore. I'd rather let them stay with their mother. They're still so young, they need to stay with their mother."

Hearing this, Yun Chengxi stepped forward with a smile. He rubbed Yun Zhou's head and said, "Let's go back."

Yun Zhou stood up after hearing this and said to Shuanzi and Yaya, "Shuanzi, Yaya, I'm going back first. You should take good care of Da Huang and the puppy. I'll come back to see them in a few days."

Shuanzi nodded vigorously: "Well, Zhouzhou, don't worry, I will definitely raise them strong."

Yaya also said: "Brother Zhouzhou, we will take good care of Dahuang and the others."

Yun Zhou took two steps, then turned back as if remembering something, and earnestly warned, "By the way, Shuanzi, Yaya, if...if anyone bullies you, you must come and tell me."

He patted his chest and said, "I'll ask my uncles to help you teach the bad guys a lesson."

Yun Chengxi watched Yun Zhou giving instructions like a little adult and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. He picked him up and held him in his arms:

"Hey, kid, you've learned to take advantage of our power."

Yun Zhou put his arm around Yun Chengxi's neck and said confidently:

"You are my uncles after all, and I am your cute and obedient nephew. Since your uncle is awesome, of course your nephew can show off."

Yun Chengxi chuckled and reached out to pinch his little face:

"Behaved and cute? You little brat really knows how to flatter yourself. You're more like a mischievous mischief than anything else."

Yun Zhou snorted and said, "My aunt is the best. She always says I'm well behaved and never says I'm naughty."

Yun Chengxi couldn't help but laugh and nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Okay, okay, okay, your aunt is the best and loves you the most. We are all bad uncles, okay?"

He turned around and walked out, holding Yun Zhou in his arms, shaking the little person in his arms: "Hold on tight, let's go find your 'best' aunt."

Shuanzi and Yaya stood there, watching Yunzhou being easily held in the arms of his seventh uncle, talking and laughing as he walked away, their eyes full of envy.

Yaya whispered to Shuanzi, "Brother, Zhouzhou is so lucky to have so many great uncles who love him."

Shuanzi didn't say anything, his eyes following the lively and intimate figures until they disappeared outside the courtyard gate.

Yun Chengxi came out of the backyard holding Yun Zhou and met up with Yun Qingqing, Yun Chenghao and Yun Chengying who were waiting in the front yard.

Yun Qingqing saw Yun Chengxi carrying Yun Zhou out, but the little guy's hands were empty, not holding the puppy, so she asked, "Zhou Zhou, you don't want to keep the puppy anymore?"

Yun Zhou shook his head and said, "I won't keep my aunt anymore. The puppy is too young and will be sad to leave her mother."

Yun Chenghao smiled when he heard this and stepped forward to ruffle Yun Zhou's hair. "You little rascal have grown sensible. You know how to feel sorry for the puppy that can't leave its mother? You've made progress!"

Yun Zhou twisted his body to avoid it, pouting his lips: "Sixth Uncle! Don't touch my hair! It won't look good if it's messed up."

Yun Chenghao was amused by his cocky look and deliberately rubbed his head: "Huh, at such an old age, you already know how to be conceited? A real man doesn't care whether his hair is messy or not!"

Yun Zhou immediately turned to Yun Qingqing for help, his face wrinkled as he complained in a long voice: "Auntie—look at Sixth Uncle! He bullied me!"

Yun Qingqing: “…”

She looked at the familiar scene in front of her, smiled helplessly, and skillfully acted as a peacemaker: "Sixth brother, stop teasing Zhou Zhou. Zhou Zhou is at the age where he can show off."

As she spoke, she reached out and gently helped Yun Zhou tidy up his messy hair.

Yun Zhou immediately broke into a bright smile: "Aunt is the best! Zhou Zhou loves Aunt the most!"

Yun Chengying, who was standing by, curled his lips in disdain and flicked Yun Zhou's forehead with his hand: "You little brat, don't imitate Yun Xun's effeminate voice. It gives me goosebumps."

Yun Zhou covered his forehead where he had been hit, and looked at Yun Qingqing aggrievedly: "Aunt, Uncle Eight hit me..."

Yun Qingqing smiled helplessly and patted his head: "Let's go, let's go back."

Yun Qingqing took Yun Zhou's hand and turned to leave the Zhou family with Yun Chenghao, Yun Chengxi and Yun Chengying.

When the Yun family members completely disappeared outside the courtyard gate, Zhou Laosan's face became gloomy and fierce.

He suddenly got up from the ground, dusted himself off, pooh-poohed the door, and cursed angrily, "You nosy fellow!"

He spat, turned his eyes sinisterly towards the house, strode in, and roared at Zhou Dashan who was taking care of his wife in the house:

"Zhou Dashan! Have you become so powerful? You collude with outsiders to bully your own family! Get out here! We must make this matter clear!"

When Zhou Dashan heard his brother's roar, his brows furrowed. He carefully tucked the corner of the quilt for his wife, stood up with a sullen face, and strode out of the inner room.

He stood at the doorway, looking at the aggressive Zhou Laosan, and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Laosan, if you continue to make trouble here, don't blame me for not thinking about our brotherhood!"

Zhou Laosan pointed at his still aching cheek and bruised arm, jumping up and down angrily: "Brotherhood? Why didn't you think about brotherhood when you hit me just now?! Zhou Dashan, stop pretending!"

Zhou Laosan spat and said viciously, "I'm telling you, Zhou Dashan! You want to split up the family? No way! As long as mother is alive, this family will never be split up!"

Zhou Dashan looked at his brother's arrogant and unreasonable face, nodded solemnly, and said in a resolute tone:

"Okay, since you said that, I have nothing more to say to you. I'll go find the village chief to divide the family property."

Seeing that he was serious, Zhou Laosan threatened him: "Zhou Dashan, if you dare to split up the family, I will tell everyone that your wife is a mountain god who hates women."

Zhou Dashan's face suddenly darkened, and he said sternly, "Zhou Laosan! What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Zhou Laosan shrank his neck when he was yelled at, but then he stiffened it again and whispered in a sarcastic tone, "Brother, don't you know best whether I'm talking nonsense or not? Lotus Village..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhou Dashan suddenly grabbed his collar and pushed him against the wall, his eyes horrifying:

"Shut up! Zhou Laosan, I'm warning you, if you dare to go out and say even a word of nonsense and ruin your sister-in-law's reputation, I will kill you!"

Zhou Laosan was so frightened by the murderous intent in his eyes that he shuddered, his Adam's apple rolled, and cold sweat broke out instantly.

He forced himself to hold on to his weak legs and said, "As long as you don't split up the family, I'll keep this matter to myself and won't tell anyone else."

Zhou Dashan stared at him intently for a moment, the fierceness in his eyes slowly subsided, and finally he loosened his hand in disgust, pushed him away, and squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Get lost."

Zhou Laosan ran away as if he had been pardoned, and only stopped to catch his breath when he was far away from his house.

He glanced back, patted his chest with lingering fear, but a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes. He muttered to himself, "Humph, it seems that the matter of that crazy woman is indeed his Achilles' heel... If only I could control her!"

Zhou Dashan returned to the house and closed the door. He walked to the corner of the wall, moved a few loose bricks and stones, and took out a long object wrapped in oilcloth.

He opened it layer by layer, and inside was a well-maintained hunting knife.

He gripped the cold hilt of the knife, his fingertips slowly stroking the sharp blade. His eyes were dim and unclear, and he murmured softly, "...How many people still know about Lotus Village?"

Zhou Laosan returned to his room. Li was pacing anxiously, rubbing her hands. When she saw him come back, she immediately rushed forward and asked anxiously, "Husband, what's going on? Does my eldest brother really want to divide the family property? What should we do? If he really divides it, how will we live in the future?"

Zhou Laosan picked up the cold tea on the table and took a few gulps. After calming himself down, he wiped his mouth and showed a smug and cunning look on his face: "Don't worry! He doesn't dare to split it! I have his Achilles' heel! If he dares to split it, I will expose his stupid background to the world and see if he can still gain a foothold in the village!"

Upon hearing this, Li's curiosity was piqued. She hurriedly asked, "Fatal point? What's its origin? Husband, please tell me quickly! Could it be that my sister-in-law... doesn't come from a decent background?"

Zhou Laosan immediately glared at her warily and interrupted her unhappily: "Shh! Keep your voice down! Don't ask about this!"

He lowered his voice and said, "This is his Achilles' heel that I have a hold on. I absolutely cannot let anyone else know. Just watch your mouth and pretend you know nothing. Do you hear me?"

Li was intrigued by his mysterious look. She grabbed his arm and shook it gently, begging softly, "Oh, my husband, just tell me! I promise, I won't tell anyone! Don't you trust me? Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

There was a glint of curiosity in her eyes, and she was determined to get the answer.

Zhou Laosan was getting a little impatient with her pestering him. He shook her hand off and scolded her with a stern face, "I told you to stop asking questions! Why are you asking so many questions, woman? Knowing too much won't do you any good! Just mind your own business!"

His tone was firm, and it was obvious that he didn't intend to reveal another word.

Seeing him so tight-lipped, Li felt an itch in her heart, like a cat scratching her. She pouted and pretended to be unhappy, mumbling, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Why are you so angry..."

But I secretly made up my mind: Humph, if you don't tell me now, wait until we get into bed tonight and see how I will torture you! You won't be able to stop telling me then.

Zhou Laosan glared at her and warned her in a bad mood, "You better be careful next time! Don't bully that idiot again. Our whole family still depends on big brother's hunting for a living! If you really make him angry and start a family division, it will not benefit us!"

Li curled her lips and couldn't help but retort, "Didn't you just say you had your finger on his weak spot? Why are you worried about him splitting up the family now?"

Zhou Laosan was choked by the question, his face a little ugly, and he waved his hands irritably: "Can that fatal point be used casually? That is the last resort to tear off the skin and fight to the death!

What if it doesn't work by then, or if we push him too hard and he really throws it all away, how will our family live a good life in the future? In short, we have to coax him now and not push him too hard. Don't bully that fool, do you hear me? "

Li nodded reluctantly: "I know, I know. I won't bother her."

She must use all her skills tonight to make Zhou Laosan tell her what Zhou Dashan's weak spot is.

When Yun Qingqing and her group returned home, it was already completely dark. Lanterns were lit in the yard, and the dim light was warm and peaceful.

In the main room, the aroma of food was already wafting out, and the dishes and chopsticks were already set out.

The whole family was sitting at the table chatting, obviously waiting for them to come back for dinner.

Seeing them come in, Yun Chengyuan greeted them with a smile: "You're finally back. I've been waiting for you. Come on, sit down and eat. The food is getting cold."

Yun Xun patted the seat next to him and called to Yun Qingqing, "Aunt, sit here."

Yun Qingqing responded with a smile and came to sit next to Yun Xun.

Yun Zhou sat next to Yun Qingqing.

Yun Chenghao, Yun Chengxi and Yun Chengying also took their seats in turn.

The elder lady sitting at the head of the table saw that everyone had arrived and smiled kindly: "Okay, everyone is here, let's eat."

Following the words from the elder lady, everyone in the Yun family started eating in a lively manner.

"Aunt, have some chicken leg." Yun Zhou put a big chicken leg in Yun Qingqing's bowl.

"Aunt, have some spare ribs." Yun Xun picked up a piece of spare ribs and put it in Yun Qingqing's bowl.

"Abao, drink some nourishing soup." Yun Chengying served Yun Qingqing a bowl of nourishing soup.

Seeing this, the other brothers of the Yun family were not willing to be outdone and joined in one after another.

Yun Chenghao picked up a piece of stir-fried vegetables with chopsticks and placed it in Yun Qingqing's bowl. He said in a gentle voice, "It's too greasy to eat only meat. Abao, have some vegetables."

Yun Chengxi scooped a spoonful of smooth egg custard and handed it over, saying with a smile, "Abao, try this, it's cooked just right."

Even the usually calm Yun Chengyan silently placed a plate of her favorite steamed fish in front of her.

In the blink of an eye, the bowls in front of Yun Qingqing were piled up like a small mountain. She was amused and confused by her brothers and nephews' enthusiasm. She waved her hands repeatedly, "Enough, enough. You guys eat yours. I'll take whatever I want."

Marshal Yun, who was sitting in the main seat, watched his grandchildren and great-grandchildren scramble to serve food to his precious granddaughter. He deliberately frowned and snorted:

"You little brats, you are so quick with your hands! You are always rushing to show your kindness." It would be better to give his grandfather some chance to show his abilities.

Yun Jingbang smiled and continued, "Dad, we only have this one precious girl in our family. Of course, she's doted on and loved a lot!"

His words made everyone at the table laugh, and the atmosphere became even warmer and more lively.
