Chapter 452 You're so resilient

Chen Yanjin trembled slightly. The only explanation for the little guy not saying these things was that the adults had said them to each other and he had learned them from them.

"You have fifteen minutes to explain this to Wanwan, then come back and receive your punishment."

Hearing his older sister's calm voice, Chen Yanjin shuddered, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't escape the beating he was about to receive.

Putting down the struggling little guy, I hurried to the west courtyard. Just as I stepped through the moon gate, I saw Xiao Wu sitting on a recliner smoking.

"Xiao Wu, you're good!" Chen Yanjin gritted his teeth.

Xiao Wu immediately stood up and chuckled, "Second Brother, don't do anything. Listen to me first. I'm doing this for your own good."

Chen Yanjin clenched his fist: "So I should thank you? Okay, go ahead, I'm listening."

Xiao Wu stubbed out his cigarette: "Second brother, think about it. Eldest sister isn't here today, so Second Aunt will definitely take action. You can't escape a beating, can you?"

Seeing that his second brother didn't refute, Xiao Wu said again, "Don't you know what kind of temper your eldest sister has? You can run away today, but you can't run away tomorrow. She's going to take action anyway."

"That means I'll get two beatings!"

“If the eldest sister strikes first, the second mother won’t strike again, and you’ll get a beating less, right? I’m doing this all for your sake.”

After hearing what he said, Chen Yanjin was both amused and exasperated: "According to you, I should thank you? Alright, I won't deal with you today. Now, get out of here."

"Okay!" Xiao Wu turned and left.

Chen Yanjin touched his nose, pushed open the door, and saw his wife coaxing their son: "Wanwan..."

Ye Wan glared at her husband and teased, "What's that saying on the internet? Saying no with your mouth, but your body says it all."

Chen Yanjin walked over to tease his son, then hugged his wife. Just as he was about to apologize, Ye Wan spoke first: "I was the one who brought this up, there's no need to say anything else."

As she spoke, she kissed her husband on the lips: "Your older sister is waiting to teach you a lesson. Go over there now while she's not so angry, and you'll get a lighter beating."

Chen Yanjin felt only guilt when his wife acted this way.

I took a deep breath and went to the Intermediate People's Court. Except for the third brother, who wasn't home, all my siblings and parents were there.

My grandparents have been taken to the neighbor's yard by my aunt and uncle. They're afraid the old folks will be too soft-hearted and beat them too hard, so they'll step in to stop them.

Guan Yuemei was quite ruthless when disciplining her son, but she doted on her grandchildren. When the children were young, she often took them out to show them off.

"Take off your shirt!" Chen Yanxi tapped the ground lightly with a bamboo stick in his hand.

Chen Yanjin trembled and had no choice but to do as instructed.

"Xiao Wu, record this and send it to your second sister-in-law later. When you go to the Ye family to explain, having video evidence will be the only way to give an explanation."

Xiao Wu grinned and took out his phone to take a picture.

Chen Yanxi, holding a bamboo stick, walked to her younger brother's side: "Second brother, do you know you were wrong?"

"Big sister, just do it!" Chen Yanjin gritted her teeth; admitting her mistake was out of the question.

Chen Yanxi laughed and said, "That's right, it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. The deed has already happened. Even if we're wrong, we have to stand up for ourselves, take responsibility, and give people an explanation."

The words had barely left his mouth when the bamboo stick was already pulled out.

With a crisp sound, a bloodstain more than 20 centimeters long appeared on Chen Yanjin's back, with beads of blood seeping out from both sides of the bloodstain.

"Hiss..." Chen Yanjin gasped.

Nevertheless, he didn't shout it out. He was mentally prepared for the beating and was determined to get through it no matter what. The pleasure of having multiple wives wasn't so easy to enjoy.

"Remember this, today is the day I'll teach you a lesson."

Chen Yanxi gritted his teeth and pulled out the bamboo stick again, one stroke after another, until he stopped after nine more strokes.

Chen Yanjin's back was covered with ten bloody welts.

Even so, aside from gasping in shock, Chen Yanjin remained silent. He could do the work and take responsibility, but he could not admit his mistakes.

"What a stubborn fool!" Xu Jinqiu's lips twitched slightly as she gritted her teeth, but remained silent. Everything comes at a price.

Chen Fan teased, "It's nothing, just a superficial injury. His father got beaten up twice back then."

Xu Jinqiu rolled her eyes at her husband.

Just as she was about to say something to him, she saw Chen Yanxi raise the bamboo stick again and start whipping her repeatedly, and her heart clenched with each blow.

"Xiao Wu, do you want to marry two more?"

Chen Yanyin moved closer to her younger brother, and Xiao Wu shuddered: "Fourth sister, jokes shouldn't be taken seriously. Your brother is very devoted."

Chen Yanyin sneered: "Just remember that!"

Xiao Wu shuddered. His second brother only had one sister, while he had two. If he got beaten up, it would be like a double beating for women. He decided to give up; he wasn't destined for that.

Not long after, the older sister threw away the bamboo strips.

Xiao Wu counted and found that he had been whipped a total of 36 times. His second brother had 36 bloody welts on his back, and the skin at the intersections was broken, with blood constantly seeping out.

"Stop standing there, take your second brother to the hospital."

Hearing his older sister's scolding, Xiao Wu quickly turned off his phone and went to help him: "Second brother, can you still walk? Do you want me to carry you?"

"My leg is fine!" Chen Yanjin scoffed.

Xiao Wu, feeling sullen, helped his second brother out. Just before getting into the car, he deliberately bumped his back, successfully making his second brother scream. "You little rascal, you did that on purpose?"

"Second brother, it was an accident, really an accident. Please be careful and sit properly."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yanyin's lips twitched, and she pushed Xiao Wu aside: "You go drive, I'll help Second Brother. He's clumsy and a good-for-nothing."

When they arrived at the hospital, Ye Wan also rushed over.

Looking at the wound on her husband's back, tears streamed down her face: "Sister, you should have just done a little bit, why did you have to be so rough?"

Xiao Wu reassured her, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, it's just superficial injuries. Second brother has thick skin and will be back to his old self after a few days of rest."

……

After the doctor finished treating the wound and returned to the ward, Xiao Wu sent the video to his second sister-in-law: "Second brother, we can take care of things. Second sister-in-law, you should go back to your parents' home now."

"Explain it clearly to Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye."

As he spoke, he raised his phone, not saying it explicitly, but the meaning was clear: he was playing the victim to help his second brother get through this ordeal with his father-in-law.

"You really are a brother to me!"

Ye Wan rolled her eyes at her brother-in-law, turned around and left. Not long after, she returned to Ya'er Hutong, parked her car, and walked another two hundred meters to Xiaoshibei Hutong.

Chen Yanjin had just found a place to live a little over a month ago.

In the end, Ye Wan paid for a two-courtyard house for the Ye family at a premium. The house was connected to Ya'er Hutong, and the two families were only about 200 meters apart.

"Wanwan is back, why didn't you bring my eldest grandson?" Ye's mother immediately pouted, clearly disgusted, without even looking at her eldest grandson.

Ye Wan retorted irritably, "Just because I didn't bring your grandson doesn't mean I can't come back! It's only two hundred meters away, how many days have we missed seeing each other? How dare you say that?"

"If you're in a hurry, have my brother find someone quickly so he can give you a big, fat grandson that you can hold all day long, so you won't have to nitpick at me."

Upon hearing this, Ye's mother became even more disgusted: "I wish, your brother... well, he just started his company and is so busy that we hardly ever see him. Expecting him to find a girlfriend? When will that ever happen?"

"You should hurry up!" Ye Wan joked.

Ye's mother said irritably, "Pretend I didn't urge him. He's very particular right now, saying he'll focus on building his career before starting a family. He's not considering it until the company is up and running."

"That's fine too. I'll only be 24 by the New Year. It's okay to be a couple of years older."

Ye Wan smiled, greeted her father, and pulled her mother into the house: "Mom, I have something to tell you, it's just..."

What did Xu Jinqiu say to her parents back then?
Ye Wan followed the same line of thinking and took the blame herself, leaving her mother seething with anger but unable to vent it.

In the end, all I could do was pinch my daughter hard a few times.

Ye Wan winced in pain and gave a wry smile: "Mom, think about it carefully, A-Ling likes it too, doesn't she? She has such a fiery temper, it's not easy to find someone who can tolerate her, is it?"

"Yan Jin treats her very well."

“My mothers-in-law all treat her like their own daughter, especially my stepmother, who gave her all the assets she had accumulated over decades. It’s no better than her marrying someone else.”

Upon hearing this, Ye's mother gave her another beating.

He told his daughter not to move and that he would go and discuss it with his wife. Enraged, Mr. Lu picked up a stick and was about to beat Chen Yanjin: "You bastard, you can't cause trouble like this!"

"Dad, can you call again in a few days?"

"Shut up! That little bastard is ruining your sister, and you're still protecting him?"

"No, Dad, he's been beaten so badly he can't get out of bed." Ye Wan quickly took out her phone and opened the video that Xiao Wu had sent her.

After watching for a while, Mr. Ye frowned slightly.

The Chen family is reasonable enough to know they need to give themselves an explanation. You little bastard, what era are we living in? You still want to learn this kind of thing?

However, Ye's mother, after watching the video, gasped and said, "Your sister-in-law is really something, wasn't she a bit too ruthless?"

Ye's father angrily said, "Where is the cruelty? If you ask me, he deserved to be beaten to death, you little bastard!"

Ye's mother rolled her eyes at her husband: "Get lost! If you really beat him to death, you'll make both your daughters widows, and your eldest grandson will be a single parent too."

"I... go to hell!" Ye's father gritted his teeth.

After the outburst, the couple began to sulk. They couldn't understand what was going on, and they were so angry that they even contemplated murder.

But... the two daughters were willing.

By evening, Chen Fan came over with his three wives. After another round of apologies and a lot of promises, the couple's anger finally subsided.

There's nothing we can do; what's done is done.

But this debt still needs to be settled. Once that little bastard Chen Yanjin is discharged from the hospital, he'll get another beating. He shouldn't be causing so much trouble.

"Second Brother, how are you feeling?" Xiao Wu poured a glass of warm water and inserted a straw.

Chen Lao Er lay on the bed, took a drag, and pulled at the wound on his back, letting out a miserable cry: "What do you think? Well, it won't heal for a few days."

Xiao Wu moved the water glass aside and placed it on the bedside table: "Just consider it a rest. By the way, Second Brother, you were really brave this time."

“When your older sister used to beat you up, you ran faster than a rabbit. This time you were much better; you didn’t move or make a sound. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to stand it.”

“要我说，二哥，你这么抗揍，还能再娶一个。”
