Quick Transmigration: Don't Let That Cannon Fodder Go

Chapter 53 That Cannon Fodder in a Male-Oriented Novel 8

Enraged, Pei's father slapped Pei Qizhan hard across the face, causing Pei Qizhan's face to turn to one side and quickly swell up.

Song Xianyin, huddled in the corner, covered her mouth and chuckled. Poor Pei Qizhan, he got beaten up again.

Pei Qizhan happened to see her smug look, and Song Xianyin raised an eyebrow at Pei Qizhan.

Pei Qizhan withdrew his gaze and silently endured his father's curses.

"Why don't you die with your mother? Neither of them are good people."

Pei Qizhan lowered his head, his fists clenching silently.

"I provide you with food and clothing, and this is how you repay me? Pei Qizhan, I wish I could kill you!" Pei's father was so angry that he could hardly breathe.

Pei Qizhan remained silent, his face expressionless, which only fueled his father's anger.

Song Xianyin felt a little uncomfortable in her throat. She took a sip of warm water and wrapped herself up tightly. She couldn't afford to get sick.

They waited all night, and Pei Zilang finally woke up. The moment he saw Pei Qizhan, he was so frightened that he trembled all over and tears streamed down his face.

Looking at his son, Pei's father felt extremely sad, realizing that he had failed to protect his son.

He asked softly, "Zilang, did your brother hit you? Don't be afraid, Dad is here."

He must drive this unfilial son out; he doesn't deserve to stay in the Pei family, he doesn't deserve the Pei surname.

Pei Zilang nodded through his tears. His face was covered in bandages, and he would grimace with every movement.

"Daddy, my brother hit me... Waaaaah... It hurts!"

Pei's father glared fiercely at Pei Qizhan. If an uninformed person were present and saw Pei's father's attitude towards Pei Qizhan, no one would guess that Pei Qizhan was also his son.

Lin Pianyue carefully fed Pei Qizhan the porridge: "Zilang, is it too hot?"

Just as Pei's father was about to speak, Song Xianyin suddenly said, "Mom, I saw the younger brother hit the older brother first."

Because she hadn't rested for a long time, her voice was a little hoarse, and her face looked tired.

Lin Pianyue subconsciously retorted, "How could that be..."

Song Xianyin looked at Pei Zilang: "Little brother, am I right? Did you bully your older brother first?"

Lin Pianyue and Pei's father looked at Pei Zilang, who lowered his head guiltily and cried, "I don't know, I forgot, sob sob sob..."

Seeing Pei Zilang's expression, Lin Pianyue and Pei's father roughly understood.

Pei Qizhan frowned and looked at Song Xianyin beside him, not understanding what she meant.

Lin Pianyue was silent for a while: "But you can't beat Zilang like that. How much strength can such a small child like Zilang have?"

Song Xianyin's eyes reddened, and she whispered, "Mom, Uncle, I've actually discovered that Zilang has been bullying my brother, but I didn't dare to say anything before. Many of the injuries on my brother's body were inflicted by Zilang."

Lin Pianyue fell silent. She had always known that Pei Zilang had bullied Pei Qizhan, but he had never fought back before. So why did he suddenly retaliate yesterday?

The atmosphere in the ward suddenly froze.

Mr. Pei frowned deeply: "Why are you only telling us now?"

His tone was reproachful towards Song Xianyin.

Song Xianyin's tears fell instantly, and Lin Pianyue felt a pang of sympathy: "Little girls are a bit timid."

"Ayin, you should have told us these things sooner," she said, glancing at Pei's father with feigned concern.

"Qi Zhan, you really are something. If Zilang bullied you, you should have told us. Why did you have to hit him so hard? He almost lost his life."

Pei's father was losing face. He said in a deep voice, "Zilang is ignorant, but are you ignorant too? If he hits you, you could have easily dodged it."

"Didn't I tell you not to wander around outside at night? Why did you come home so late last night?"

If he had gone home earlier, he wouldn't have run into Zilang, and this whole thing would never have happened.

Pei Qizhan looked at his obviously biased father without feeling anything. Ever since Lin Pianyue came, he had faced this situation every day.

Song Xianyin looked at Pei's father with some fear: "Uncle, wasn't yesterday Auntie's death anniversary? Brother must have gone to see Auntie, right?"

Pei Qizhan looked at her in astonishment. Song Xianyin looked at Pei Zilang on the bed and said, "Zilang cut up Auntie's photo a few days ago."

How awful!

Pei Zilang lowered his head further and further, trembling with fear, and tears streamed down his face.

Song Xianyin looked at Pei Zilang, her eyes filled with malice. She felt extremely satisfied. This good-for-nothing really thinks he can do whatever he wants?

She is the person her mother should love the most, not him, this pig who is several years younger than her but heavier.

Pei Qizhan is also a good-for-nothing, a fool who only knows how to hit but doesn't know how to use his brain.

Pei's father fell completely silent, looking at Pei Qizhan with a complicated expression.

Song Xianyin carefully walked to Pei Qizhan's side and forced a comforting smile at him: "Brother, I will help my brother fix the photos, so don't be sad."

Pei Qizhan looked down at her. Her eyes were red, and there were tears on her eyelashes. She looked extremely pitiful.

His gaze lingered on her hands. Her hands were small, with a faint pink tinge at the fingertips, but only he knew how painful it was to slap someone with those hands.

Pei Qizhan pulled his hand away and ignored her.

Song Xianyin was even more heartbroken, and lowered her head without saying a word.

Mr. Pei said with a dark face, "Alright, alright, what's the point of keeping photos now that the person is gone? We have to move on."

That woman was the shadow of his life. Looking at Pei Qizhan's face, which resembled hers, he felt only disgust.

Lin Pianyue held Pei Zilang in her arms and comforted him softly, without any intention of blaming him.

Pei Zilang felt a little smug. So what? His parents still didn't scold him.

He wanted to look up to see Pei Qizhan's reaction, but was startled by Song Xianyin's stern face as she stared at him.

He hurriedly buried himself in Lin Pianyue's arms.

Song Xianyin and Pei Qizhan went out, and as soon as they left, Song Xianyin got so angry that she threw her scarf at him.

"Pei Qizhan, you piece of trash!"

The fact that Pei's father didn't blame Pei Zilang made Song Xianyin so angry that she couldn't breathe.

Looking at Pei Qizhan sitting in the chair, Song Xianyin stood in front of him and said, "Your father said those things to you, didn't you argue back? Why are you like a mute?"

"Don't you hate Pei Zilang? Tell me what he did to you."

Song Xianyin clutched Pei Qizhan's clothes; she was truly going crazy.

Her soft hair draped over her shoulders, and strands would occasionally brush against the back of his hand, making it itch slightly.

Seeing Song Xianyin's face turn red with anger, Pei Qizhan finally spoke: "I don't want to."

Song Xianyin frowned as she looked at him: "What don't you want to think about?"

Pei Qizhan looked quietly into her eyes: "Song Xianyin, I don't want to make you happy."

Song Xianyin's eyes widened as she stared at him in disbelief.

How dare he?
