Chapter 2390: Chapter 2394: What Happened to Your Head?
"Mom, Dad, the little brother is back!" Xiao Shumiao’s sharp eyes were the first to spot Qin Junye running towards them.
"This kid is really fast," Gu Junzhu said. "It took us more than three hours to walk here from the village, but this kid made a round trip in just over two hours."
"Maybe he ran all the way?" Ye Xingbei said with concern. "Was he worried that we might leave without him if he didn’t hurry back?"
Gu Junzhu chuckled, "That’s possible!"
Qin Junye ran up to them, his little face red, panting heavily, yet all smiles.
In both his small hands, he held a walnut, showing it to everyone with palms open: "I brought them back! My grandpa’s walnuts, I brought them back!"
"Little brother, what happened to your head?" Xiao Shumiao ran up to him, pointing at his forehead, "It’s bleeding! Did you fall?"
Qin Junye wiped his forehead and said nonchalantly, "It’s nothing, I just fell."
"Let me see," Ye Xingbei bent down to inspect him, "The skin’s broken, and it’s so dirty, we need to disinfect it."
She looked at Xueno: "Xueno, bring the first aid kit."
Traveling with family, especially camping, a first aid kit is essential.
Xueno quickly brought over the first aid kit and handed it to Ye Xingbei.
Ye Xingbei sat Qin Junye on a small stool, dipped a cotton swab in iodine, and disinfected his wound.
After disinfecting, she applied some ointment for external injuries and bandaged it with gauze.
Once done, she asked, "How did you get hurt like this?"
"It’s nothing," Qin Junye said casually, "My second uncle pushed me, and I accidentally hit the wall."
Xiao Shumiao frowned, "Little brother, you can avoid wild boars, how come you couldn’t dodge your second uncle? Is he very strong?"
"No," Qin Junye said, "I deliberately didn’t dodge. I was afraid he wouldn’t give me my grandpa’s walnuts. When he pushed me, I didn’t move, hit my head on the wall. Seeing me hurt, he felt guilty, and when I said I’d leave the village forever if I got the walnuts, he gave them to me."
"Your second uncle is so bad!" Xiao Shumiao said angrily, "Your grandpa said he’d take care of you since he took your grandpa’s inheritance, but he went back on his word, refused to care for you, and even hit you. He’s awful!"
"There’s nothing to be done," Qin Junye looked down at the walnuts in his hand. "He said I’m not related by blood to my grandpa or him, so he has no obligation to take care of me."
"But he promised your grandpa, and a person should keep their word! A person without integrity is just a scoundrel!" Xiao Shumiao angrily tugged at Gu Junzhu’s clothes, "Dad, help little brother teach his uncle a lesson, make him a good person!"
This was the first time Xiao Shumiao asked Gu Junzhu to do something for him. Fifth Lord of Gu was immediately filled with righteous enthusiasm and instantly agreed, "Alright, no problem!"
He patted Xiao Shumiao’s head, "Good boy, don’t be upset. Wait for Dad to stand up for you and your little brother!"
"Mhm mhm!" Xiao Shumiao nodded vigorously and said to Qin Junye, "Little brother, don’t be sad. Just wait for my dad to help you. Once he does, your second uncle is going to be very, very miserable!"
Ye Xingbei: "..."
Son, you truly are your dad’s own flesh and blood!
You understand him so well!
