Chapter 8: Big Brother Is Still The Best

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Looking at the person, Xia Yu panicked.

Although he was a year older than Xia Chen, he was no match for Xia Chen in terms of fighting. It was mainly because Xia Yu was always slacking off in the fields, as compared to Xia Chen.

Xia Yu stopped what he was doing and warned him. “Don’t hit me, or I’ll tell Grandma that your whole family is bullying me.”

Xia Chen laughed in anger. “You’re an adult, yet you still want to complain to Grandma? What, you’re relying on Grandma to support you for the rest of your life?

“You snatch other people’s food when you eat but can’t even solve a small problem. Are you even a man?

“Weren’t you so fierce when I wasn’t around? Why did you stop fighting the moment I came?”

Originally, Xia Yu really didn’t intend to fight with Xia Chen, but after being provoked by him, Xia Yu suddenly grew a backbone. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and looked at Xia Chen fiercely. “You really think I can’t beat you? I’ve always been letting you win, but you’ve become stronger. Today, I’ll show you what I’m capable of!”

After saying that, the two of them started wrangling and fighting.

Xia Wan was a little nervous as she stared at the two guys going at it.

She was afraid that something would happen to her brother.

Then, Xia Wan realized that Xia Yu was fat and only had brute force. Every time they fought, he would use one fat arm, but he would be too slow. Xia Chen could easily dodge him without using much strength.

After exchanging two moves, Xia Chen was fine, but Xia Yu was so tired that he started to pant.

“Xia Chen, you only know how to dodge. What kind of skill is that? If you’re so capable, come fight me!”

Xia Yu couldn’t hit Xia Chen, so he started to attack him with words.

Xia Chen snorted and kicked Xia Yu against the wall when he wasn’t paying attention. Xia Yu screamed in pain.

The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of the others. Li Jin and Chen Lian rushed over.

Seeing that Xia Yu was injured, Chen Lian immediately ran over to help him up, her face full of heartache. “My son, what happened to you? Did Xia Chen hit you?”

As she spoke, Chen Lian looked at Xia Chen again. She concealed the anger in her eyes and, instead, played victim.

“Xia Chen, my Xia Yu is older than you, and he’s also your brother. He usually knows his limits and always lets you guys have your way, yet you’re so cruel.

“Just because my Xia Yu is too honest, your family ganged up to bully him?”

“I’ll have to ask Xia Hai about this today. How does he usually discipline his children?”

Li Jin’s eyes were filled with heartache when he saw that the usually lively Xia Yu was now in so much pain that his face was scrunched up and his body curled up.

Hence, she agreed with Chen Lian’s words without even thinking. She roared angrily, “Xia Chen, how dare you bully your cousin! Are you going to bully me in the future?”

“Today, I’ll teach you a good lesson and let you know some rules!”

Li Jin was about to attack, but Xia Chen didn’t dare to fight back.

This was his grandmother. Once he made a move on his elders, he would be considered an unfilial son, and he would be ostracized to death.

Xia Wan stood in front of Xia Chen, shielding him behind her. She stared at Li Jin as if she had just returned from hell. Li Jin couldn’t help but feel frightened.

“Grandma, you didn’t even ask what happened, and you think my brother is in the wrong? I know you’re biased, but I didn’t know you made it so obvious. Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”

Xia Wan then looked at Chen Lian. “Don’t you know what kind of person your son is?”

“I’d like to ask you. Since you said that we bullied Xia Yu, why did Xia Yu appear in our room?”

“He’s fine. What’s he doing in our room?”

“More importantly, this is my room. Even if Xia Yu is my cousin, there are still differences between men and women. He barged into my room just like that. Is he trying to ruin my reputation?

“When I fell into the river, my cousin just watched and didn’t save me. Now that I’m alive, does my cousin still plan to ruin my reputation?”

“Are you guys trying to force me to my death?”

Xia Wan shouted the last sentence.

After she finished speaking, her tears flowed out.

On one hand, she was already in such a state of mind, and if she didn’t cry, she wouldn’t look pitiful.

On the other hand, she really felt sorry for her family. Her father was usually the most filial, and her mother was also honest, but Li Jin’s heart was partial towards her eldest and second uncle. Her grandma had never sided with them.

Wasn’t she just playing the victim? What Chen Lian could do, she could too!

Chen Lian’s heart skipped a beat. She wondered why Xia Wan’s personality had changed after she fell into the river. Now, she was even acting pitifully in front of everyone.
