Chapter 23: I Won’t Do It Next Time

Translator: Exodus Tales

Both siblings were truly unfilial. Where in the world would you find parents that could endure such a huge upset?

“Didn’t I only cause some superficial bleeding? I haven’t even killed anyone. Why make such a small matter look big?” Su Jin Long’s obstinacy appeared. He already said that he wouldn’t do it again, but his sister would not let him go.

“Right. This time if you do not take causing a head injury seriously. Next time, you won’t also take it seriously when you chop off someone’s arm. And after that, you would be able to just kill someone,” relying on Liu Zi’s matter, Su Mian must make Su Jin Long stay far away from Su Jin Biao starting today.

“You are saying it as if I’ve done it already,” Su Jin Long pulled on Su Mian, “Sis, I only injured someone else’s head, how could it be as serious as you are saying.”

“Today, you must swear that you will not have anything to do with Su Jin Biao, then I’ll forgive you.”

“Sis,” Su Jin Long lowered his voice hoping that Su Mian would be lenient on him.

Su Mian ignored him and continued, “Su Jin Biao has his own hands and feet. Why didn’t he retaliate himself? Why did other people not retaliate as well? It’s because you have no worries, you only have your sense of justice!”

“Just a while ago in the courtyard, Liu Zi’s mother was wailing loudly. I do not believe that Su Jin Biao, who is only one house away would not hear it. Where is he right now? He did not even come to speak out for you.”

“You still dare talk about brotherhood. He might not even feel grateful to you!”

Su Hong and Su Jin Biao were indeed hiding at the edge of the wall. Other people might not have noticed them, but Su Mian saw them. Her hearing ability and eyesight were a lot better compared to normal people. She could clearly see more than 10 meters ahead and even hear their conversations clearly.

Su Jin Long lowered his head. His large black eyes blinked a few times. There was no mistake about this. Su Jin Biao and the others did not even make a single move. They only stood on the footpath, jeering and instigating him, “Su Jin Long, if you are truly a good brother to brother Biao, then you should hit his head!”

“Go back and think about it. Are you going to stick together to those pack of rogues, or do you want to join the Interstellar Army? This is your own life, you choose by yourself!” Su Mian returned back to her room after finishing.

Su Mian only came out of her room when Su Jiang Hai returned that night as they all ate dinner together.

It was strangely quiet on the table. Even Su Jin Long who could always find a topic to talk about had a depressed expression as he picked up rice. Su Jiang Hai could not endure the atmosphere, “What happened today? Why is everyone acting so taciturn?”

Su Jin Long was afraid that Su Mian would tell on him. He quickly placed some meat on his father’s bowl, “Dad, nothing is wrong. You have worked hard for the day and we thought to let you enjoy a peaceful meal!”

“Is that so?” Su Jiang Hai clearly did not believe it.

“Of course. But dad, I want to tell you something in advance.”

“Oh, say it then.”

“When I graduate from junior middle school, I will go join the Interstellar Army. In the next few years, I will first help you steadily make furniture,” Su Jin Long already thought of it clearly. What his sister told him was right. He cannot mix with his cousin and the others anymore. He must have his own life goals.

Su Jiang Hai became happy after hearing this, “What’s going on with you. Your dad can still work well. If you want to go play with others, you can just go.”

Su Jin Long was afraid that his father would say this. He hurriedly slapped his chopsticks down the table, “Dad, doesn’t sis need money after passing the college entrance exams? I’ll help you earn money for her tuition!” He stole a look at Su Mian after finishing.

Su Mian did not say anything and continued eating. She knew that Su Jin Long had thought of things clearly, but it was not enough. If there was another chance, she would use it to provoke him more.

“Your feelings are enough. Your dad has just book some more business a while ago. In this twelfth lunar month, we will be busy,” Su Jiang Hai was in a good mood. Moreover, he was quite tired these few days, so he ate more.

Hearing this, He Qin frowned, “Dear, you must take care of your body, especially that arthritis on your lower back. You must not let it be affected by the cold.”

Father’s lower back was unwell. In his youth, he went up the mountain to mine and slept on a big rock when he was tired. This was the cause of this old illness. At that time, he took some Chinese medicine and was fine after, but it would act up once it is affected by the cold.

How great would it be if I could treat my father!

You can, you know? You just need to learn the art of pulse reading. However, you need 30 kindness points, and your spiritual energy must reach 30 points. You don’t have enough of either right now!
