Chapter 172: You Two Want to Die, Right?

Is Shi Ren that powerful?

Qiao Sheng was thinking, when Shi Ren spoke: "Aunt Qiao, I didn't, I didn't do that, how could I have such ability? It's not like that at all."

"You did!"

Shi Jin lunged at Shi Ren.

In the blink of an eye, the two fell into the river together.

Qiao Sheng was about to die of anger at Shi Jin, telling him not to be so impulsive, yet he remained impulsive.

She couldn't worry about that and jumped straight into the river.

Shi Jin, already in the water, didn't stop; he kept reaching out to strike Shi Ren.

Shi Ren appeared not to retaliate, but in fact his foot kept kicking him now and then.

Xiao Shitou and Shi Yun were both startled; it took them a while to recover.

"Mom, Shi Jin, Shi Ren…"

Xiao Shitou and Shi Yun shouted and ran over.

When they arrived, Qiao Sheng was pulling Shi Jin and Shi Ren toward the riverbank; the two seemed uneasy from having swallowed water, so they weren't struggling.

Qiao Sheng hauled them ashore, tossed them aside and said, "You two want to die, don't you?"

Shi Jin coughed while trying to explain.

"Aunt Qiao, I didn't…"

Shi Ren also lowered his head and coughed.

Qiao Sheng glanced at them and said, "You don't want to die, yet you rolled into the river? Should I pretend I didn't see what you were up to earlier?"

Shi Jin pointed at Shi Ren, accusing him.

"Aunt Qiao, he wants to kill me…"

Hearing that, Shi Ren glared at Shi Jin: "Who exactly wants to kill whom? Clearly you're the one trying to kill me; you were the one who lunged at me earlier, and you pulled me into the river."

Are they blood brothers? This is clearly a feud!

"Stop!"

Qiao Sheng stopped them.

She was relieved she had brought clothes today; otherwise they'd all catch a cold.

"Go change your clothes."

Qiao Sheng also found a place to change.

Changed.

Qiao Sheng called them aside to speak.

She hadn't spoken yet.

Shi Ren began: "Aunt Qiao, Shi Jin hates me; not only did he push me into the water, he also beat me. All the injuries on my hands were inflicted by him."

"Why would I hit you? Don't you know?"

Suddenly recalling something, Shi Jin lifted his pant leg: "Aunt Qiao, look at my leg, it's covered with red marks; he kicked me for those."

"I didn't."

"You did that yourself."

Shi Ren spoke quickly, looking aggrieved, as if Shi Jin truly framed him.

"Ugh!"

"What are you pretending!"

Shi Jin slapped forward.

Shi Ren covered his face and hid behind Shi Jin.

These two brats.

Qiao Sheng pursed her lips and said, "Since you two are as opposite as fire and water, stay apart from now on. When you go back, contact your Third Uncle for me. I'll have him find two houses for you, so each of you lives in a separate house…"

"Aunt Qiao, are you giving me up…?"

Shi Ren, with an injured expression, looked at Qiao Sheng.

Shi Jin couldn't stand his attitude: "What are you pretending? You don't like Aunt Qiao at all; you came here just because you can't stand seeing me do well."

He didn't wait for Shi Ren to say anything.

Shi Jin looked at Qiao Sheng and said, "Aunt Qiao, I don't want to live elsewhere; I want to live with you and Xiao Shitou. Can you let him go?"

His words had just finished.

Shi Ren began, "Aunt Qiao, I don't dislike you; it's not what he said. I also don't want to live elsewhere."

Xiao Shitou and Shi Yun listened on the side, unsure what to do.

They remained silent.

Qiao Sheng glanced at Shi Jin and the others and asked, "You all want to live with us, right?"
