Ding Gui was so happy the whole way there. He thought that if his uncle was willing to teach him kung fu, he would be as powerful as his uncle in no time. After all, his uncle didn't know any martial arts before he went out to hide from his creditors, but now he can fly from one side of the river to the other in just a short time.

He believed he could do it too.

When the two passed by the Ding family's old house, they heard cheers from inside. Jian Ning had just announced that they would have a holiday on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, and that they would receive corresponding year-end bonuses based on their abilities. Everyone became excited when they heard this.

Since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the winery has stopped accepting orders, except for those for delivery after the New Year. Jane Ning thought that there was no end to the money to be made, and the winery had a constant stream of repeat customers. Now she had no worries about sales, and she didn't want them to work too hard.

Besides, it’s almost the New Year, so we give them a few days off in advance so they can go shopping for New Year’s goods, and the house also needs to be cleaned and dusted.

Tian was the most excited. Huo Jincheng had previously ordered wine and asked her second brother to escort it to the capital. Her second brother had gathered a group of brothers and also brought her eldest and younger brothers, which made her parents very happy.

This year, not only her family will have a prosperous year, but her mother's family will also have a good year. Ma Fuquan also said that when her second brother comes back from escorting the caravan, he will give her second brother money to open a caravan agency in Jin County. It will be considered that they are funding his second brother to be the head of the escort agency, and the money earned will be divided equally with his second brother.

Tian hadn't found the time to report the good news to her parents yet. The winery had been incredibly busy lately, with many orders due before the New Year. Ma Fuquan had previously received 20,000 taels of silver from Huo Jincheng for selling his technology. He had originally intended to use it to form a special police force, but County Magistrate He later told Ma Fuquan that he wouldn't have to pay for it personally. The state government had allocated funds, and the special police force was officially renamed the Special Investigation Team.

The more she thought about it, the happier she became. Chang turned around and saw her secretly laughing. She rolled her eyes at her and yelled, "What the hell are you laughing about? If you have something good to say, tell it so we can all laugh together. Don't just keep it to yourself and laugh like a fool."

"Yes, Sister Tian, ​​you seem to be very happy these days. Is it because my brother Ma has been promoted again?" Ding Yang also said.

Tian laughed and scolded, "Fuck you! He's already a captain, how much higher can he get? I was just thinking that after working hard for half a year, I can have a good year thanks to Sister Jian. I was happy, so I grinned, but unfortunately, Mrs. Chang was sharp-eyed and she saw it."

She gouged her eyes at Chang and said, "You're the only one who's so silly and cheerful all day long. Brother Sheng got a promotion, and my three little bastards are still jumping around. Also, the bookshop business is booming this year, and I don't know how much your husband earns in tips and dividends every day. You think I don't know, right? Your Erya has told Erniu and Sanniu about it, and you and your wife are hiding under the covers counting copper coins at night!"

"Listen to Erya's nonsense. I'll teach her a lesson when I get back." Chang spat.

They were chatting and laughing, having a great time, when over there Ding Pingshun and Lu Huaian started arguing again. They had been arguing from the winter to the twelfth month, and they just couldn't stand each other. Lu Huaian, always upset after a fight, would find fault with Sanniang, and the relationship between the couple was getting worse day by day.

Blind Liu couldn't live without alcohol. Every day after lunch he would go upstairs to rest for a while to sober up. After Dabao and the others went to school, Ding Pingshun took a broom and dustpan, preparing to sweep the melon shells and fruit peels that had been swept into the corner into the dustpan and then pour it outside.

Unexpectedly, the dustpan broke apart, and the wooden board underneath cracked in two, so he swept the melon shells and fruit peels out the door. He could have just swept them to the side of the bookstore, but he was worried that the book listeners would come in the afternoon and be unhappy to see the garbage piled up in front of the store.

The book lovers were his bread and butter, and he didn't want them to be displeased, so he secretly swept the garbage to the door of the grocery store next door. When Lu Huaian came out and saw the pile of garbage, he knew it was the book lovers who had made it. He also knew without hesitation that it was swept by Ding Pingshun, and he rushed to him angrily to argue with him.

The two started arguing after a disagreement.

Ding Pingshun was afraid of disturbing Blind Liu's sleep. Blind Liu was Ding Youtian's master, and Ding Youtian respected him deeply, so he took the initiative to put out the fire after a few words. But he kept the anger inside, and all afternoon he felt like a fire was burning in his chest, burning him all over.

Perhaps it was his mood that had affected his luck, but he earned less than ten coins in the afternoon, less than half of what he had earned in the morning. He also failed to sell many of the braised pork snacks that Jian Ning had taught him to make, which only made him furious.

After the bookstore closed, he made the excuse that he had not bought the soap beans that Chang had asked him to buy early in the morning, and therefore did not go back to the village with Blind Liu. After Blind Liu left, he ran to the next door to continue scolding Lu Huaian, saying that if he didn't make it up to him today, he would not be able to sleep well at night.

Lu Huaian was about to go into the store to receive customers, but he jumped up and down outside the door and started cursing. The customer left, and a good business deal was ruined by him. Lu Huaian was so angry that he slammed the counter and started arguing with him, which scared Qi Jin so much that he burst into tears.

Now Sanniang also became famous.

She carried Qi Jin downstairs, stuffed Qi Jin into Lu Huaian's arms, turned around, pointed at Ding Pingshun's nose and started cursing.

"Who the hell are you? You're just a villager, yet you're bullying us townies? Normally, I wouldn't bother arguing with you. Don't you take a piss and look at yourself? We're the bosses of our own shop, after all. Who are you? You're just a laborer. In my eyes, you're worse than a pile of dog shit. I've always given you face, right? Don't you know your own weight?"

Sanniang spoke very quickly, not giving him a chance to talk back. She puffed out her chest and cursed at him, forcing him to retreat again and again. He almost fell to the ground, which made the onlookers laugh.

"You, you bitch! You should take a piss and look at yourself, bitch!" Ding Pingshun was furious and fought back with his neck stiff, "How dare you yell at this guy? You've let other men see your naked body. If my last name was Lu, I would have divorced you long ago!"

"Mr. Ding! What the hell are you talking about?" When Lu Huaian heard him yell this in public, he couldn't hold back his pride any longer. He rushed out holding Qi Jin and kicked him hard in the stomach.

He was kicked to the ground by Lu Huaian. He got up and wanted to fight Lu Huaian to death, but was knocked down by Sanniang again. Sanniang was like a madman, grabbing and scratching him. Lu Huaian was holding his son and couldn't free his hands. He stepped on him and kicked him from time to time. Sanniang also bit his ear and bit off half of his left ear.

The pain made him scream like a pig being slaughtered!

If Yang Jinyu hadn't rushed over and pulled Sanniang away, Sanniang would have bitten off the remaining half of his left ear.
