Sanwang poked Dawang from below and said in a low voice, “Eldest Brother, father…do you think he knows?”
Dawang also had a little deer that was running wildly in his heart. Pursing his lips, he replied with a cold expression, “And which traitor do I have to thank for that?!”
Sanwang grimaced, “Eldest Brother, mother said that she will be lenient when you confess but strict if you resist. If father finds out, then both of us are doomed…at least…”
The Eldest Brother would be punished by himself whereas he could escape a beating. Although morning runs were torturous to Sanwang, he felt that his Eldest Brother would definitely not be able to escape a severe beating.
Dawang’s face was as black as thunder.
When he saw no one was paying attention to them, Sanwang whispered to him, “Brother, I…I didn’t confess entirely; I just talked about playing poker with money.”
Dawang glanced at him with a deep and irritated gaze, idiot, what else could be kept hidden the moment you opened your mouth?
Hadn’t he heard of the fact that Director Han had the nose of a dog? The moment he ‘smelled’ something amiss, he would investigate it to the ends of the Earth.
How did Zhao Anpin, the Leader of the Yellow River Brigade, and some others end up?
Dawang was also upset, what should I do? Not admit it? Or take the initiative to confess? If I do confess, how much should I say?
It’s just that he was mentally prepared to be beaten in the morning, but neither of his parents laid a hand on him. Now that his father had gone into school to talk about this, he was ready to be beaten in the afternoon. But in the end, Han Qingsong didn’t return home for lunch as Han Qingyun stated that he had gone to the County Town.
Dawang was ready to be beaten at night.
When Han Qingsong came back at night, although his face was sombre, he didn’t beat him as he merely ate and slept as usual.
Slicing meat with a blunt knife(3) was the most frightening thing to happen!
(T/N: Refers to how a situation or problem is prolonged and the solution is not as efficient as it could have been)
When going to bed at night, Dawang actually suffered from insomnia!
Someone like him, who had always been the type to just lay down and pass out, was actually suffering from insomnia.
When one was unable to fall asleep, listening to others sleeping restfully was also an unbearable feeling.
That boy Sanwang was obviously a traitor, but he was the one who slept the most soundly. He was muttering about something good to eat as his hands were moving about, mimicking martial arts movements. He must be protecting his food in his dreams.
In the end, Dawang fell asleep with difficulty and had another nightmare all night. He was either being beaten by his father, looked at with a sneer by his mother or ridiculed by the villagers who rolled their eyes at him.
Finally waking up with the rooster crowing, he felt that his mind was muddled, as if the little deer in his heart had somehow paced into his mind and ran around.
Han Qingsong had already gotten up and blew the whistle softly, signalling for the children to get up and start the morning exercises.
Dawang and Erwang immediately got up and dressed themselves whereas Sanwang was still soundly asleep.
Dawang got angry and tore off his quilt, revealing Sanwang’s shiny buttocks.
