Disaster Apocalypse: Farming, Family, and My Hidden Secret Space

No matter how fierce the boy was, he was just a child of about ten years old, how could he possibly resist a truly enraged adult, especially when outnumbered three to one.

The woman who had been hit with the stick fiercely grabbed the stick in the boy's hand while her other hand didn't stop and slapped towards the boy's face. It was at this moment that the door was kicked open, and in a moment of shock, the boy dodged the slap and forcefully pushed the woman away before moving to pull the two people off his mother.

The woman who was pushed down exclaimed "Oh," and remarkably enough, she landed perfectly on a sharp stone in the courtyard, causing her to yell even louder when she felt wet heat flow from her hand downward.

"Ah... I'm bleeding..." The woman frantically covered the wound on her buttocks, and somehow the pain intensified.

"Mom... Mom..." Instinctively she called out for her mother-in-law, "Mom, quickly grab that little bastard, I want to kill him, ah..."

Uncertain if it was from excitement or pain, the woman suddenly felt dizzy, her vision went black, and she wobbled a bit.

"Ah... Mom..." She then sat back down on the ground, coincidentally hitting the same stone again. The dizziness cleared immediately, her face twisted in extreme pain, almost unable to catch her breath, which left her rolling her eyes.

"Second daughter-in-law!" The elderly woman was startled, slapping the boy who was pushing her. The blood-covered hands of the second daughter-in-law also scared her, and worried that something serious might happen, she hurried over.

While she usually indulged in flaunting her authority as a mother-in-law, at this moment they faced an external threat together, and the second son always cherished his wife. If anything really happened and her son came back from the fields, there would be a huge fuss.

The boy was solely focused on pushing the people off his mother, unwittingly taking a harsh slap to the face, causing a nosebleed. Liu Kai, who was being carried in by Hua Rong and the others, saw this clearly and roared furiously.

"Old Liu's woman..."

At this moment, there was no more aunt-in-law, only the malicious woman who harmed his wife and children. Witnessing his family being oppressed, how could Liu Kai, as a man, endure this.

This loud roar not only scared old Liu's woman but also shocked everyone in the courtyard. Seeing Liu Kai glaring with eyes that seemed ready to devour people, old Liu's woman was frightened and took a few steps back.

"Liu... Liu Kai... you're not dead..." Remembering Liu Kai's usual fierceness, old Liu's woman shivered in fear, instinctively retreating towards her daughter-in-law regardless of how serious her injury was.

Pausing for a moment, the boy pursed his lips, and the tears began to flow uncontrollably, "Waaaa" followed by a loud, crying wail.

"Dad... you're finally back, we knew you weren't dead, wa wa... Dad... if you didn't come back, you'd never see us again... wa wa..."

The boy, who was bullied so badly and hadn't cried after being beaten, couldn't hold back upon seeing his father, seemingly needing to cry out all the grievances from these days, as he ran over to his father.

The other woman pressing on He shi was scared and quickly climbed up, not daring to look Liu Kai in the eyes, which were bloodshot with rage, as she hid behind her mother-in-law.

He Shi looked disbelievingly at the man on the wooden frame, and then tears burst forth, her voice quivering as she called out, "Their father."

For these few days, she didn't even know how she managed to survive, weak and tongue-tied, she was no match for the aunt-in-law's family. If it weren't for the children, she might have followed them to the grave.

At this moment, He Shi was grateful she persevered, otherwise she wouldn't be able to see her children's father.

Originally feeling drained, suddenly, she found strength again, wiped the tears from her face, and staggered as she ran towards her children's father.

Seeing more and more people entering the courtyard, especially their unfriendly gazes, old Liu's woman wanted to run into the house, but, unfortunately, a knife blocked her path, nearly scaring her out of her wits.

"Don't... kill me," seeing the knife just a fist's distance away, pale-faced, old Liu's woman knelt on the ground with a thud, screaming in terror.

"Dad..." The boy had already reached Liu Kai, throwing himself into the arms of his father sitting on the ground.

"Dad... it's great that you're back, woo woo..." Then came the suppressed sobs.

The feeling of regaining something that was lost is indescribable; all in all, it was incredibly joyful, so much so that the child just wanted to hold onto his father tightly, feel his warmth, and deeply bury his head into his father's shoulder, releasing his emotions.

"Mmm... Dad's back, it's okay, it's okay..." Liu Kai's eyes were red with shock, tears also flowed unchecked.

He could imagine his family being bullied while he was gone; he just hadn't thought it would be this bad.

Always thinking that they were relatives, they would at least save a little face, but he forgot that the uncle's family was shameless. Thinking about the grievances his family suffered these days, the pain in Liu Kai's heart was overwhelming.

Holding his son with trembling arms, especially seeing the scars on the child's body, his gaze sharp as a blade aimed directly at old Liu's woman, he wished he could eat her flesh and drink her blood.

These children he couldn't bear to touch a finger, and yet, who would have thought his own uncle's family would torment them like this. If he hadn't returned, would his children and their mother have been beaten to death or starved to death?

"Their father..." He Shi also stumbled over, disregarding everything, she jumped onto the father of her children.

If it were before, she would never dare to just hold her man in public like this.

But this moment's joy eclipsed everything, in a storm of emotions, she held him tightly and cried, and then cried so much she didn't know anything anymore, her entire body limp on him.

"The children's mother..." Liu Kai, nervously catching his falling wife, called out, alarmed, looking desperately at Hua Qiang for help.

In his eyes, the man who could heal his leg should have decent medical skills.

Hua Qiang: "..."

He shook his head, his mediocre skills were only good for comforting, he was really no good at treating people.

Placing his hand below her nose and feeling her pulse, although weak, it was still there, so she should be fine.

Hua Qiang: "She should be just overexcited, too stimulated compounded with hunger, she will recover with some rest."

As long as she's okay, she's okay.

Hearing this brought relief to Liu Kai, and gratefully he looked at Hua Qiang, repeatedly thanking him while carefully placing her on a wooden board.

The boy was also scared enough to forget to cry, helping his father place his mother on the board, his face turning pale.

"Dad..." he looked at his father in panic.

"It's okay, your mother is just overly emotional, she'll be fine after a rest." Liu Kai, though still nervous inside, had to force himself to remain calm in front of the child, stroking the boy's emaciated head, inwardly tormented by bitterness.

Only then did the boy feel reassured, believing that since his dad said it was fine, it would indeed be fine. But then noticing his father's leg, the tears that had just stopped began to well up again.

"Dad... your leg?"

The child clutched his own mouth, looking heartbroken at his father, having just wondered why his dad hadn't moved, now he finally realized.
