Chapter 213 Supporting Second Sister

The three brothers didn't waste any more time and quickly went to Kong Xiuting's house.

Kong Xiuting's husband's family lives in town. So she and her brothers rode their bicycles there. They arrived at the gate in 20 minutes.

Kong Xiangwei took the lead and knocked on the door. The door opened after just one knock.

In the yard, his six-year-old nephew was helping his grandmother sweep the yard. Not seeing his second sister, Kong Xiangwei asked, "Auntie, I'm Kong Xiuting's third brother. Is my second sister home?"

Du's mother hadn't seen the three brothers much, except for the eldest son who came to escort her to his wedding. She'd only seen them briefly, so she certainly wouldn't remember them.

Du Siting, the nephew, knew a few of his uncles. He happily rushed into Kong Xiangwei's arms and said, "Uncle, uncle, you've come to see me! Oh...that's great!"

Only then did Mrs. Du realize that they really were her daughter-in-law's brothers. She then warmly invited them into the house and served them tea.

Kong Xiangwei was talking to his nephew. The eldest son, Kong Xiangzhuang, asked politely, "Auntie, we're so sorry to bother you by coming here. But my mother heard that my second sister's husband beat her when he was drunk. Is that true?"

Du's mother's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly shook her head: "No, no, that's not true. My son only takes his anger out on his sister when he's drunk, he's never hit Xiuting."

The three brothers frowned, and the eldest brother continued, "Oh, is that really so? That's not what's being said outside!"

Du's mother continued to deny it. Kong Xiangwei looked at his nephew in his arms and asked, "Siting, did your father get drunk and hit your mother?"

Kong Siting avoided eye contact and said, "Um...no, Uncle didn't do such a thing."

Kong Xiangwei knew his nephew very well; he never lied, and if he did, his eyes would dart away.

Kong Xiangwei was now certain his nephew was lying. He said, "Oh, that's good. Where is your mother now? I want to see her."

Mrs. Du panicked even more and hurriedly said, "Oh, Xiuting went to see a doctor with my daughter Yushuang. My daughter is injured, and her sister-in-law accompanied her to the clinic."

The three brothers exchanged glances, certain that something was amiss. Kong Xiangwei then asked, "Which clinic did they go to? Let's go check it out."

At this moment, the nephew panicked. He looked up and cried, "Uncle, Uncle, Uncle, please don't take my mother away. I don't want Mom and Dad to get divorced. Waaah..."

The three brothers immediately understood what was going on. It must have been their second brother-in-law who told the child that if he told their uncles about hitting Kong Xiuting, his parents would get a divorce. That's why the child was afraid to tell the truth.

Kong Xiangwei comforted him, saying, "Siting, don't be afraid. Your uncles won't take your mother away. Your uncles are here to support your mother. We can't let her keep getting beaten! If you still care about your mother, let us see her. Only by teaching your father a lesson will he behave. Otherwise, he'll beat your mother again next time."

Du Siting obediently said, "Okay, Uncle is right. I'll take you to find your mother now."

Seeing that their younger brother had finally persuaded his nephew, the eldest and second eldest brothers also went to the small clinic in town with him.

Since the injuries were minor, just superficial wounds, I didn't want to go to the hospital and only went to a small clinic.

The group followed Du Siting to a small clinic converted from a family home. Inside, there was only a female doctor, her second sister, and her sister's younger sister.

Du Siting called out to her mother and aunt first. Her three younger brothers, who were following behind, quickly went forward to check if their second sister was injured.

There was a noticeable wound on Kong Xiuting's forehead. It was caused by Du Yuwen hitting her with a bowl. It wasn't very serious, but it broke the skin, and there was some fresh blood clotted on it.

Upon seeing this, the three brothers immediately became furious. The eldest brother, Kong Xiangzhuang, asked, "Second sister, where did that lazybones go? Why didn't you come to our house to find us when you were bullied? Your younger brothers have grown up and can stand up for you now."

Kong Xiangjian and Kong Xiangwei also went over and looked at their second sister with heartache. Kong Xiangwei said, "Second sister, do you think he went there? This time we will never let him off the hook."

Although Du Yushuang was also beaten, she still sided with her brother. Because her husband had died unexpectedly after a year of marriage, and she had no children to rely on, she was sent back to her parents' home by her husband's family, and she had nowhere to go.

She could only rely on her parents' home to make a living; if she offended her brother, she would be homeless.

She didn't dare to say anything now, and could only listen to what her sister-in-law had to say. Kong Xiuting didn't say anything, she just kept crying.

Du Siting thought for a moment and said, "I know, Dad went to a restaurant for drinks."

The nephew led his three uncles to a restaurant to arrest someone. His second sister, Kong Xiuting, and his sister-in-law, Du Yushuang, followed behind.

Upon entering, one could see Du Yuwen drunk, with several empty wine bottles and half a plate of peanuts on the table.

Kong Xiangzhuang strode forward and grabbed Du Yuwen by the collar. "Look what you've done!" Du Yuwen opened his eyes groggily and saw that it was his three brothers-in-law. He instantly sobered up.

The eldest brother, Kong Xiangzhuang, shouted loudly, "How dare you hit Xiuting! You must give us an explanation today!" The surrounding diners all turned to look.

Du Yuwen stammered, "I...I drank too much, it was just an accident."

Kong Xiangwei snorted coldly, "Mistake? How many times has this happened? I'm going to teach you a lesson today." He was about to make a move.

At this moment, the restaurant owner hurriedly came over to mediate, saying, "Everyone, let's talk this out and not cause trouble here."

Kong Xiangwei glared at Du Yuwen and said, "Come back with us and promise in front of our mother that you will never lay a hand on her again. If you do it again, we won't let you off easily."

Du Yuwen had no choice but to slink away with them, while his nephew Du Siting secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that his father would definitely not dare to hit people again now.

After all, his uncles were still young before and couldn't beat his father. Now that his father has become a drunkard and ruined his life, and his uncles have grown up, they can naturally beat him.

The three brothers grabbed Du Yuwen and took him back to their home in Kongjia Village. On the way, the eldest brother tied up Du Yuwen's legs and hands.

When they arrived at his doorstep, they shoved him into the living room and forced him to kneel on the floor.

Xie Wenli felt heartbroken for his daughter when he saw the three of them dragging his drunken second son-in-law back.

Such a beautiful and capable daughter, how could she have married such an alcoholic? I feel so sorry for her.

At this moment, Kong Tongyuan, the old man who had been awakened by the noise in the bedroom, also came over and sat in the center of the main hall.

He looked at his drunken son-in-law and scolded, "Du Yuwen, you scoundrel! When you're drunk, all you do is beat women. You're a real piece of trash. Today, I'll let you taste what it's like to be beaten."

After saying that, the old man kicked him first, and the guy lost his footing and fell to the ground.

Then his three sons swarmed around him and started punching and kicking him. Only Du Yuwen's screams could be heard in the room.
