Chapter 61 The Old Man with Malicious Intent

Seeing the situation was not good, the drunkard got up and tried to run.

Old Man Liu whipped him to the ground with his bullwhip: “You bullied Nian Nian, and you dare to chase her here to play the victim, clinging to her like a leech. You shameless old thing, I’ll beat you to death!”

A villager from Liu’s village rushed over and kicked him: “You’re a grown man, and you threw yourself at a three-year-old child. You clearly intended to kill her!”

Shen Bo said coldly: “Don’t use being drunk as an excuse. You made a mistake while drunk, and you have to bear the consequences. You should be grateful that my sister is fine, otherwise, I would have taken your life!”

The drunkard truly didn’t expect these people to be so angry, not knowing how to respect their elders at all.

He cried out in pain, muttering curses, but he wouldn’t beg for mercy.

Old Man Liu and the others didn’t go all out, they only beat him a few times before stopping. They threw the drunkard to the side of the road, got back on the ox cart, and left.

The drunkard lay on the side of the road, cursing for a while, then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and shouted: “Help! Murder!”

With that, he fainted.

Shen Dong saw this and hurriedly told Old Man Liu to stop the ox cart. He jumped off and ran over to check. The drunkard was truly unconscious.

The blood was real too.

Shen Xue frowned: “Could it be that we beat him too hard?”

Old Man Liu shook his head: “It shouldn’t be. We didn’t go all out, we just gave him a lesson.”

Shen Nian struggled out of Wei’s arms, wanting to go over and take a look, but Wei stopped her: “Nian Nian, don’t go near him, be careful he hurts you when he wakes up.”

Shen Nian said: “Mother, I think he’s faking it. Let’s just leave him alone.”

An old lady glanced over: “It doesn’t look like he’s faking it. If we really leave him alone, it’ll be troublesome if he dies on the side of the road!”

Shen Nian just felt that the man was faking it. Besides, the county was so far away from here, how did he follow them? He must have been watching them from the very beginning?

This man is not simple!

If she saved him, she would definitely be entangled with him.

She wouldn’t save someone with malicious intent.

Shen Nian didn’t want to save him, but Shen Dong and the others couldn’t bear it on their conscience. After trying all sorts of methods to wake the drunkard up, they still carried him onto the ox cart.

Thinking that the drunkard was after her, Shen Dong didn’t want to involve Old Man Liu and the others. When they reached Liu’s village, he carried the drunkard to find Doctor Liu for a diagnosis. After confirming that the drunkard wouldn’t die, Shen Dong carried him back home.

Looking at the old drunkard lying on his own father’s back, Shen Nian’s eyes narrowed.

This old man better not cause any trouble, otherwise, she would let him know why the flowers are so red.

When they reached the front door, Shen Nian saw Old Lady Shen sitting on the doorstep. As soon as she saw them come back, she excitedly got up. She stood up too quickly, her head felt dizzy, and her body swayed.

Shen Nian quickly ran over: “Grandma!”

Wei supported Old Lady Shen: “Mother, don’t get too excited. This isn’t the first time Nian Nian has gone out.”

Old Lady Shen said with a smile: “I just stood up too quickly, I’m fine. The county is so far away, of course, I was worried about Nian Nian. Hey? Why is A Dong carrying someone? Where did this old man come from?”

Shen Nian said angrily: “We found him.”

Shen Dong carried the drunkard into the house and placed him on the bed of Shen Bo and Shen Xue, then returned to the main room to explain to the elders.

After learning about the drunkard, the elders were furious. Old Man Shen gritted his teeth: “Although he looks pitiful, he’s a big trouble!”

Shen Dong said: “Father, don’t worry, I won’t let him cling to our family. When he wakes up, I’ll send him away.”

Old Lady Shen immediately thought of the key point: “A drunk man, how did he have the ability to travel from the county to here? Could it be that he’s faking it? You have to keep a close eye on him.”

Shen Dong nodded in agreement.

Old Lady Shen continued to make dinner. Shen Nian wanted to help, but Old Lady Shen chased her away: “Go, go, go, sit in the room. You’ve been so scared, what are you doing making dishes? Just wait to eat.”

Shen Bo and Shen Xue went to help make dinner, Old Lady Shen didn’t stop them.

Boys should learn to cook, otherwise, they won’t be able to find wives in the future.

The aroma of stir-fried dishes wafted into the room of Shen Bo and Shen Xue. The drunkard on the bed sniffed, and suddenly opened his eyes.

“It smells so good!”

He got up and looked around the farmhouse: “So poor.”

He walked out of the room and saw the livestock in the yard: “You raise quite a few animals.”

Suddenly, a white wolf walked in from outside, followed by Shen Feng.

Seeing strangers in the yard, the white wolf immediately pounced fiercely.

The drunkard let out a cry and was knocked to the ground, his head hitting a stone, and he fainted.

This time, he was truly unconscious!

Shen Nian and the others heard the commotion and ran out. Seeing the white wolf knock the drunkard unconscious, they quickly stopped it.

Shen Nian looked at the drunkard and snorted: “You woke up and wandered around as soon as you got home. I told you he was faking it! Bad guy!”

She patted the white wolf’s head: “You did a good job. Keep an eye on him from now on.”

The white wolf nodded happily.

The drunkard’s head wasn’t seriously injured, Shen Dong carried him back to bed.

Shen Nian’s family went back to the house to continue eating.

Shen Feng learned about the drunkard’s origin from Shen Xue, his eyes were a little cold.

Shen Nian told her family that she would often go to Shu Mansion to visit Master Shu.

No one stopped her.

The drunkard smelled too strongly of alcohol, Shen Bo and Shen Xue didn’t like it, so they went to the fourth room and rested in the room where Uncle Zhao used to live.

The drunkard woke up the next morning. When he woke up, he was sober.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a white wolf sleeping by the bed, and he was so scared that he huddled in the corner of the bed and cried out.

“There’s a wolf, help! Don’t come near me, beast, don’t come near me! I warn you, I’m very powerful, if you dare bite me, I’ll bite you to death.”

“You try biting me.” Shen Nian and Shen Feng walked in from outside, Shen Nian’s face was cold: “Let’s see who bites who first, you or my Mantou?”

The drunkard looked at her nervously and fearfully: “Little girl, who are you? Is this wolf yours? Quickly drive it away, you’re scaring this old man to death!”

Shen Nian raised an eyebrow: “You don’t recognize me after sleeping for a while? Did you have a blackout?”

The drunkard looked innocent: “What are you talking about? I don’t understand. Little girl, you’re being a little disrespectful to an old man!”

Shen Feng said calmly: “You were drunk yesterday, you fell from a tree and almost hit my sister. Then you chased us here, yelling and demanding that our family pay you. We ignored you, so you pretended to spit blood and faint to blackmail our family.”

The drunkard subconsciously retorted: “Such a shameless person couldn’t be me. I’m a kind and good person. You must have gotten it wrong.”

Shen Nian said lightly: “It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it. Now you’re awake, so leave our house. We don’t keep idle people. What’s more, you’re an old idle person who loves to drink, so we can’t keep you. Maybe one day you’ll kick the bucket and drag our family down. Mantou, take him out.”

Mantou got up and walked towards the drunkard. The drunkard grabbed the blanket and pulled it over himself.

“I’m not leaving. You brought me here without my consent, so you have to take responsibility for me. You have to take care of me in my old age. Yes, take care of me in my old age. Give me good food and drink, otherwise, I won’t let you live in peace!”

“Oh, my temper!” Shen Dong walked in with his three younger brothers, rolled up his sleeves and pulled the blanket off, lifting the drunkard from the bed and walking out.

“Take care of you in your old age? You wish!”

“I’m not leaving, I’m not leaving, ah! May lightning strike you! You’re bullying an old man, I’m going to report you to the officials!”

The drunkard struggled hard, his shouts attracted the attention of the rest of the Shen family.

Old Man Shen saw this and shouted to Shen Dong and his brothers: “Don’t be rude, put him down first.”

Shen Dong and his four brothers angrily put the man down. As soon as he landed, the drunkard was about to pounce and grab Old Man Shen’s leg.

Old Man Shen dodged to the side, the drunkard missed and fell to the ground, almost hitting his chin.
