"Jingming... why are you lying on the ground? Where's your cousin?"

After finishing their meal at the state-run restaurant, Lü Xiuping and Chu Cuifen finally arrived late, carrying their child.

"Brother... let me help you up!"

"Ouch...you little brat, you hit me really hard!"

Upon getting closer, Lü Xiuping realized something was wrong.

"Honey, what happened? Who attacked you? Where's Jiang Xile? Was the matter resolved?"

"Hey, don't even mention it. That girl is impervious to reason. She won't listen to any kind words or anything else, and she won't agree to anything I say."

"Then why did you let her go? Why didn't you stop her?"

"Of course I stopped her! I couldn't stop her! That girl just came up and threw me over her shoulder!"

"Outrageous! To fight with her own brother is simply outrageous! You ill-mannered, heartless brat!"

"Keep your voice down! We're close to the steel mill. What if someone hears us?"

Lu Xiuping awkwardly shut her mouth, but she couldn't swallow her anger.

"Honey, she hit you and still won't help you. This can't just be left like this!"

"Never mind, what else can we do!"

"Go find Jiang Yanshu. His daughter hit someone, and as her father, he has to clean up the mess. Maybe he'll agree to our request after a little... you know!"

"Really? I just fell, and nothing seems to happen. Would he believe me?"

"That's easy. Just have your second brother help you out, especially on your face and head, wherever you can see. Give him a couple of slaps, and then just say it was Jiang Xile who hit you."

"You want me to use a self-inflicted injury ruse?"

"What other way is there? You promised to bring my parents and brothers over, are you regretting it now?"

All that sincerity I showed you, and the son I gave you, and you just lied to me... Waaah...

Lü Xiuping started acting immediately, and her tears came so quickly that Deng Jingming panicked when he saw his wife crying.

"No, don't cry! I didn't say I wouldn't go back on my word. I'm just trying to figure something out!"

"Waaaaah...waaaah...."

"Oh, don't cry, I agreed, okay? It's just a couple of slaps, what's the big deal!"

Upon hearing Deng Jingming's agreement, Lü Xiuping immediately stopped crying.

"I knew you were the best, second brother! You've worked hard, now give your eldest brother a few slaps across the face!"

"They're really... really fighting..."

Deng Jingyang swallowed hard. He hadn't expected his sister-in-law to go so far. After all, his older brother was his aunt's darling. If she knew her son had been beaten, she would be heartbroken!

"Of course we really fought! How can we ask for benefits without getting injured?"

"What if my aunt asks..."

Deng Jingyang didn't want to take the responsibility. This matter needed to be discussed beforehand, so as not to cause trouble for him later!

"Don't worry, if my mother-in-law asks, I will definitely not say that you hit her! I will say that I did it!"

"Alright, I'll trust you this once, sister-in-law, but please don't lie to me!"

"Don't worry, let's get started!"

"good!"

Deng Jingyang turned his wrist and walked up to Deng Jingming.

"Brother, I'm so sorry!"

"Get started, and get it over with... ah...."

Before he could finish speaking, a punch landed on his chin, and Deng Jingming screamed, his mouth filled with the taste of blood.

"Ptooey...hiss...Second brother, why did you hit so hard!"

"Brother, this isn't my fault. I was just following my sister-in-law's instructions!"

"Alright, husband, just bear with it, do it for my sake!"

Deng Jingming took a deep breath. This was his wife; what could he do but endure it?

"Come on, let's continue. Let's finish this quickly so we can go find Jiang Yanshu!"

"Bang..."

After another lap, Deng Jingming felt dizzy.

"Holy crap! Damn, I'm so dizzy..."

Deng Jingyang shook his hand. Force always has two sides. Even though Deng Jingyang was in a lot of pain, his hand hurt just as much. It's clear that hitting someone isn't a good job.

"Sister-in-law, that's enough. If you keep hitting him, I'm afraid you'll hurt my brother!"

Lü Xiuping glanced at it and nodded.

"That's fine, it looks pretty bad. Don't wipe the blood off your nose too clean, let's go like this!"

"good!"

Back at the steel rolling mill, Jiang Xile thought for a moment and finally picked up the office phone, intending to talk to Jiang Yanshu.

"Ring ring..."

"Hello, I am Jiang Yanshu. May I ask who this is?"

"Dad, it's me!"

"Lele? Why are you calling at this hour? Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing serious, I just wanted to let you know that Deng Jingming and the other three came to see me with their children!"

"Those little brats actually came looking for you, and then what? What did they say?!"

"I originally planned to take them out for a meal, say a few words, and send them off without causing any trouble, but I didn't expect them to be so shameless and unreasonable."

He ate my meal for free and then tried to stop me from going to work. I got angry, so I gave Deng Jingming an over-the-shoulder throw and then used that as an excuse to leave.

"Well....."

Jiang Yanshu hadn't expected his daughter to act so directly. He sighed and said:

"Alright, so be it. He's a grown man, it's not a big deal for him to fall. It's his own fault for blocking the way. But what are you planning to do next?"

"I'm also having a headache. Although they're a bit shameless, my maternal grandparents and uncles haven't shown up about this."

"Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to just wipe them out completely? But what if they keep bothering me? That would have a terrible impact!"

Jiang Yanshu hesitated for a moment. After all, they were her daughter's relatives, so she decided to be more tolerant.

"Here's what we'll do: go to your grandfather's place after get off work tonight and explain the situation clearly. If your grandfather and the others can stop Deng Jingming and his group from doing their thing..."

We'll let it go, but if that doesn't work, I'll make them go back to where they came from!

Hearing this, Jiang Xile hesitated for a moment, but in the end she agreed with Jiang Yanshu's statement.

"Okay, I'll go over there after get off work tonight and see what they have to say!"

"Okay, call Dad anytime if anything happens."

"Okay, I'll hang up now, I have to go to work soon."

"good!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xile put aside all these messy things and focused all her energy on her work.

Little did they know that Deng Jingming and his group had already found Jiang Yanshu again.
