Xu Laoda responded sullenly and tied the straw mat with a rope.
He always felt that his father's and sister's actions were too ruthless. It's normal for couples to argue; there's no tongue that doesn't touch the teeth. Moreover, he and Laoer had already beaten Sun Fengshou up, avenging his sister.
He never expected that just after they beat up their brother-in-law, the government officer arrived, and Sun Fengshou, injured, went off to serve. He felt somewhat guilty, thinking they had beaten Sun Fengshou too severely.
The family hadn't separated, and this year it was Laoer's turn to serve. Before Laoer left, Xu Laoda advised him to take care of their brother-in-law.
Although he was angry about him hitting his sister, he couldn't just watch Sun Fengshou die. If he did, wouldn't his sister become a widow?
But just a few days after Laoer left, his sister returned, bringing with her a lot of things for the family—fabric, food, and even good tobacco for their father.
