Chapter 6: Second Brother? Beat Him Up!
"You hit me again?!"
Ethan covered his cheek, his eyes widened, and he stared at Samantha in surprise.
"Samantha, you are really going crazy! I am your second brother!"
The slap came hard and heavy, catching him off guard, and was more painful than the one he received at home.
Samantha had been in the family for a year, and this was the first time he realized that she was really as his fourth brother said, with a bad temper and not a good person at all.
Apparently, her good and obedient behavior over the past year was all a fake!
Samantha is exactly like her horrible adoptive father!
Samantha responded calmly: "Do you need to verify the identity of your family members to beat someone who framed me without any reason?"
" Also, I have severed ties with you. The so-called second brother is just a joke."
Ethan always prided himself on having a mild temper, but at this moment he was shaking with rage because of her.
"As the daughter of the Smith family, how can you steal and eat the offerings of the dead?"
"What's wrong with me saying a few words to you? How dare you hit me!"
Samantha was even more calm: "If I hit you, what can you do?"
"You!" Ethan stared at her gloomily, his chest heaving violently, as if the anger he suffered from her made him more angry than those weird patients' families he encountered in the hospital.
Samantha's behavior became more and more excessive. She even pointed at the offerings of the dead on the ground and ordered him to "Pick it up."
Ethan thought he had heard wrongly and asked in disbelief, "What?"
Samantha replied expressionlessly, "These were given to me by the uncles and aunts. Don't waste food."
So what if they are dead? Sometimes, the dead are more compassionate than the living.
Ethan was so angry that he laughed: "There are so many high-end fruits and imported snacks at home, but you don't eat them. Instead, you eat the food of a dead person. You don't find it disgusting, but I think it's unlucky!"
Not only did he not pick them up, he also kicked the scattered apples on the ground away in anger.
A wandering ghost happened to squat down to pick up an apple and was kicked by Ethan for no reason. He was so angry that he started cursing and immediately rushed forward to grab Ethan's neck and shook him violently.
"Fuck you, what grudge do you have against me? I'm going to strangle you to death!"
"Cough! Cough cough cough--"
Ethan suddenly felt a suffocation in his neck, his face turned red, and he started coughing violently.
Samantha had no intention of helping him, but just lazily watched him being tortured by the wild ghost.
Ethan felt the suffocation getting stronger and stronger, and stars began to appear in front of his eyes. He reached out to Samantha for help, "Quick - call 120!"
He must have been so angry with Samantha that he actually developed symptoms of acute respiratory alkalosis.
Wherever she is, nothing good ever happens!
Samantha ignored him and just said to the empty space, "Here you go."
The ghosts gathered around and picked up the food on the ground, thanking her repeatedly.
The ghosts have no one to offer sacrifices to them all year round, and when they are hungry, they can only go to the crossroads to steal other people's sacrifices during the Qingming Festival and the Ghost Festival. As for incense, it is even more of a luxury.
Some wandering ghosts, who are so hungry that they can't stand it, will run to a house with mosquito coils lit and secretly take a few puffs of the mosquito coils.
Without even a second look at Ethan, Samantha turned and disappeared into the darkness.
Ethan watched her disappearing figure and wanted to catch up with her, but he could only bend over and finally pick up the plastic bag on the ground and put it over his head, breathing deeply to relieve the discomfort.
Every time he was so busy with surgery that he forgot to eat, Samantha would come to see him first with food, pretending to care about him.
This time, she actually watched him die without helping him, and she was not even willing to do the superficial work?
Ethan was filled with resentment and anger.
It is true. All her kindness and gentleness were pretended for show. Now she can't pretend anymore.
Big brother is right. Samantha came from such a low-income family environment and learned all the bad habits of the lower class in society.
Want to play hard to get to control the Smith family?
She is simply wishful thinking!
Since she is running away from home to fight against her family, then let her go!
Let Samantha know that without the help of the Smith family, she can't even have a hot meal in this huge Jiangcheng!
" In less than a day, you will definitely come back crying and begging us to take you in."
Ethan stared at the direction she left, his face full of anger.
They all knew that Samantha's biggest fear was being sent back to her adoptive father's home.
Every time her father brought up this topic, she would tremble with fear and obey him obediently, because she had no other place to go except the Smith family!
Ethan turned and walked away in the opposite direction.
He was already very kind to come out to see Samantha at this late hour. It was she who didn't know what was good for her and dared to slap her second brother.
In the car not far away, Leonard and Richard witnessed the farce of the Smith family . Richard was shocked: " Ethan just left like that ? He doesn't care about his sister anymore? Even if she is not his biological sister, it is not safe to see a little girl wandering on the street in the middle of the night!"
"Ethan was very caring when he was in the hospital. When he encountered poor patients, he often paid for their surgeries out of his own pocket. How could he be so cold and heartless to this sister?"
Leonard pursed his lips slightly, and a subtle emotion flashed in his eyes.
Samantha slapped Ethan without hesitation. Any man would feel that his self-esteem was insulted.
He heard that all of Edward's grandsons were geniuses.
Geniuses are always the center of attention, and Samantha 's move was indeed a bit too much.
But then again...
The Smith family is the richest family in Jiangcheng, but they let their adopted daughter wear patched old clothes, starve to death and become skinny and pale. It is obvious that the Smith family did not take good care of her.
If a girl had not suffered a great injustice, why would she run to the wilderness and prefer to eat the offerings of the dead rather than go home?
And he had already noticed the wound on Samantha's forehead.
Maybe this injury is related to the Smith family.
Ethan totally deserved the slap he received.
Richard asked with a smile: "Leonard, now it's time for you to behave yourself. Do you want to be the flower protector?"
Leonard's handsome face was indifferent: "Mind your own business, go home."
Ten minutes later.
Samantha, who was heading to the park, noticed a car behind her, like a ghost, keeping a distance but secretly following her all the way.
She stopped and waved towards the car.
The car slowly drove up to us.
"Richard, what are you doing?" Samantha looked at the two people in the car with pretended confusion.
Leonard closed his eyes and seemed to be sleeping peacefully.
but……
The long eyelashes were trembling slightly.
Obviously he was pretending to sleep.
Richard grinned with his big white teeth and said, "The moon is so big and round tonight!"
Samantha glanced at the cloudy night sky and agreed with a smile, "Yes, you two really have the leisure time to come and enjoy the moon in the middle of the night."
ah?
Young couple?
He and Leonard ?
Richard laughed even more happily, and generously hugged Leonard, who was pretending to be asleep , into his arms, "Yes, Mrs. Smith, do you want to join us?"
Leonard's eyes snapped open and he shook his hand off.
Before Richard could react, he felt a sharp pain in his arm.
"Ah-Leonard, are you going to murder your relatives and friends?"
The screams like those of a pig being slaughtered echoed in the night!
