Chapter 12 Lively

Before Cheng Jiajia could even greet Yu Junsheng, she dashed to the Third Hospital. Yu Junsheng followed her, and the two of them crouched behind the crowd to watch the excitement.

Cheng Jiajia: Hey, you know what, this compound is really lively!

Look, look!

A tall man grabbed the thin, tall young man by the collar and slapped his large, bulging buttocks repeatedly.

An old woman with a long face sat on the ground, wailing and cursing, slapping her thighs as she cried.

Cheng Jiajia asked sincerely, "Is this how it is in your courtyard? Is it this vigorous?"

Without saying a word, they fiercely got to work, and the old lady's rich vocabulary even made the girl from the future admit defeat.

So incredibly fierce!

Yu Junsheng said meaningfully, "You'll see it more often and then you won't think it's a big deal." If he remembered correctly, there were even more chaotic times in the back of the courtyard.

"You heartless beast, you despicable person who deserves a terrible death, you wretch who deserves to be struck by lightning and cursed by the plague!"

The burly man chuckled dismissively, completely ignoring Aunt Guan's curses. He glanced around the room and casually remarked, "I heard your son is getting married? This room is quite nicely decorated."

The burly man pushed it, and the thermos shattered on the ground with a crash.

With another sweep, the enamel mugs clattered and fell to the ground.

Some people felt sorry for the guy watching, saying, "Hey bro, if you're going to vent your anger, don't smash things! Thermos flasks are so hard to find, isn't this just wasting them?"

"That's right, that's right, you can't just waste things like that."

The burly man glanced at the onlookers and said with a forced smile, "Today's matter concerns the Wu family and this young man from the Ren family. The purpose is simply to avenge my sister. It has nothing to do with anyone else." In other words, they should mind their own business.

Some people disagreed, saying, "Hey, I'm telling you..."

Before he could finish speaking, the burly man picked up another stool and slammed it to the ground with a thud, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

A threat, absolutely a threat!

It's simple and straightforward, but very useful.

The voices that had been trying to dissuade them had completely disappeared, and they shrank back like quails.

I dare not move, I absolutely dare not move!

Good heavens, if this happens to them, they'll be dead!

Everyone silently took a few steps back, distancing themselves from the situation.

Then, rhythmic sounds rang out from inside the Ren family's house, accompanied by Aunt Guan's wails and curses.

"Bang bang bang!" "You bunch of bandits!"

"Slap slap slap!" "You son of a bitch!"

"Thump, thump, thump," "You heartless beast!"

Ten minutes later, inside the house, tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans were all broken on the floor, and even Ren Wenhua's favorite tea set, which was said to be from the Qing Dynasty, was not spared.

Everyone gasped at the sight of the mess, "Hiss~"

Fierce, extremely fierce!

They'd never seen anything like it before—smashing things at the slightest disagreement! Compared to them, the antics of the young and powerful in their compound were nothing!

I dare not compare, I really dare not compare!

Zou Qianjin was strangely pleased?

Guan Ailian let out a wail, nearly fainting, and screamed, "Are you trying to kill me?! What right do you have to come to my house and smash things? What right do you have?!"

"You bunch of bandits, you bully the people because of your numbers! I'm going to report you to the police! I'm going to report you to the police!"

A flash of ruthlessness crossed the burly man's eyes, but he smiled and said, "Perfect timing. I also wanted to talk to the police about Ren Yongsheng and that little bitch surnamed Dong. I'm sure they'll be very interested."

"Ouch...hiccup!" Guan Ailian stopped crying instantly, like a chicken whose neck had been choked.

The burly man nodded in satisfaction, then turned around and politely clasped his hands in a fist salute to everyone. "We brothers came here only to seek justice for our sister. I, Wu Qiang, apologize for disturbing you all. Now that justice has been served, we brothers will take our leave. Thank you for your courtesy!"

Everyone: "..."

Everyone chuckled awkwardly, "Not at all, no, no, you're too kind."

Good heavens, these people are so fierce, do they dare to say no? They'd probably get picked up and beaten up!

The burly man and his brothers left in a flurry, just as swiftly as they had arrived.

Once these people had disappeared from sight, Guan Ailian got up and hugged Ren Yongsheng, whose face was bruised and swollen and covered in blood. She cried out, "Son, my son! Those damned murderers should be eating peanuts right now!"

"My son, my home, it's all gone, waaaaah!!"

Everything in the house is ruined. How much will it cost to rebuild? Will she still be the most respectable person in the neighborhood then?

Aunt Guan was truly heartbroken. The thought of it tore at her heart. Overwhelmed with grief, she cried out in anguish, "My son, please wake up! How can I live alone like this! Waaah!"

Anyone who didn't know better would think Ren Yongsheng was about to die.

Some people thought she was worried about her son and couldn't bear to see him like that. "Aunt Guan, stop crying. Get up and get some money to take Yongsheng to the hospital. Look at his face covered in blood, it's terrifying."

"Yes, yes, we should take him to the hospital right away."

Aunt Guan looked up at the crowd with resentment and screamed hysterically, "Why didn't you stop them? We're all neighbors in the same courtyard, and you just watched them beat my son and smash my house! Are you even human? Don't you have any compassion? How can you be so selfish and heartless! If you had stopped them, my son wouldn't have been beaten like this, and my house wouldn't have been smashed! It's all your fault, all your fault! You heartless and ungrateful people!"

The people who had just been feeling sorry for her family suddenly became unhappy. How could this person talk like that?

"Hey Aunt Guan, how can you talk like that? Putting aside the fact that we skinny guys could have beaten those burly men, it's all your Yongsheng's fault that this mess happened. What does it have to do with us?"

Someone with sharp eyes pointed to a corner of the Ren family's house and said, "Your Uncle Ren was hiding in the corner and didn't step forward to stop him, so why should we risk our own safety to save him?"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to him, and they realized that Ren Wenhua was at home.

It's no wonder they overlooked this person; compared to Aunt Guan's wailing, Ren Wenhua didn't utter a single sound. He was so invisible, like an invisible man, which was quite different from his usual behavior.

Cheng Jiajia followed everyone's gaze and saw a refined middle-aged man wearing a Zhongshan suit and with a crew cut. He was in a disheveled state, his face was pale, and he was leaning against the wall, looking like he was barely breathing.

Someone cried out, "Oh my god! Another person has died! Uncle Ren is going to die!"

"Something's happened! Grandpa Zou, someone's died again!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Zou Qianjin, who was watching the commotion from the crowd, was shocked. Had someone really died?

Zou Qianjin knew that the Wu family was coming to cause trouble for the Ren family, but he didn't want to get involved at all. In his opinion, it was only right for the woman's family to give Ren Yongsheng what he wanted, and he figured nothing serious would happen, so he just watched the show.

Who knew something really serious would happen?!

If only I had known... if only I had known, he wouldn't have dared to stop the fierce Wu brothers!

He touched his increasingly thinning hair and felt increasingly bitter.

Zou Qianjin struggled to push through the crowd of onlookers and went inside to check on the situation.

Just moments ago, Aunt Guan, who had been sitting on the ground wailing, suddenly abandoned her son. Like a bolt of lightning, she bumped into Zou Qianjin and pounced on Ren Wenhua, wailing, "Oh, old man, old man, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Cheng Jiajia clearly saw the person on the ground roll their eyes in pain, “…”

She looked at Yu Junsheng and saw his lips twitch, so she knew he had seen it too.

Well, I have to say, it truly lives up to its legendary reputation as a magical compound. I've seen it for myself, I really have!

I just don't know what this elderly couple is up to.

Cheng Jiajia immediately looked at Zou Qianjin, who had fallen on his bottom, with pity. He was the truly pitiful one!

Poor Zou Qianjin felt as bitter as gall, but he couldn't say anything. Who told him to be this damned wardens! He must have committed some terrible sin in his past life to be assigned to be this damned wardens in this life!

Zou Qianjin, ignoring his sore bottom, rushed to check Ren Wenhua's nose. It took him a long time to feel the slow breathing, and his heart sank.

"Quick, quick, get them to the hospital! They're still breathing, hurry! And Ren Yongsheng too, get them both checked out!"

Buddha, Guanyin, and the Bodhisattva who grants children—please bless Ren Wenhua so he can live!

Although everyone was unhappy with Aunt Guan's unreasonable behavior, they still wouldn't refuse to lend a hand to their neighbors.

The group skillfully borrowed a handcart and were about to lift Ren Wenhua onto it.

Aunt Guan, however, became stubborn and blocked them from moving, saying, "Don't touch it! You're not allowed to touch my family's cultural heritage! It's all your fault!"

"Aunt Guan, please move aside. We need to take your Uncle Ren to the hospital." With a life at stake, no one wanted to argue with an old woman, and they were about to continue carrying the man.

But Aunt Guan clung to Ren Wenhua, refusing to let him move. She glared at everyone hatefully, saying, "I don't care, it's all your fault! You have to pay for our medical expenses and compensate us for our family's losses!"

Everyone was stunned. What the hell? The Ren family's losses had nothing to do with them, so why should they have to pay?

Hey, how come I never noticed before that Aunt Guan was such a troublemaker?

Yu Junsheng sneered. So that's what these two old bastards were up to. Sure enough, those who constantly talk about propriety are the most shameless!

Cheng Jiajia also expressed her amazement, saying that this compound was indeed full of hidden talents! It seems they were trying to shift the losses onto the neighbors in the compound; most people wouldn't have thought of such a tactic!

That's really mean!

If you're too timid, they might actually succeed in taking advantage of you.

But who are the people in this compound? They're not ordinary people, how could she possibly cling to them?

Everyone started chattering, saying, "Aunt Guan, you're not right. What do you mean we should compensate your family? What does this have to do with us? Are we going to make a mistake by helping you? If it weren't for the fact that Uncle Ren's situation is really bad, who would want to get involved in your family's affairs?"

"Wait a minute, Uncle Ren got beaten up too?"

"No way, you know what, they're actually quite honorable. They only beat up Ren Yongsheng, not the others."

"Uh... why does Uncle Ren look even weaker than Ren Yongsheng?"

"He was probably scared to death... Oh dear, is Old Ren really not going to make it? Yes, he must have been dying a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't have been scared half to death so easily. Yong Sheng was beaten so badly, but he didn't look like he was about to die!"

"Look at how well Aunt Guan usually dresses, I never expected Old Ren to have this kind of problem. You really can't judge a book by its cover, tsk tsk."

Ren Wenhua: "!!!"

No matter how old a man is, he must never tolerate anyone telling him he's inadequate! Absolutely not!!

Ren Wenhua, determined to defend his dignity to the death, opened his eyes wide and shouted, "Who's no good? Huh? I'm perfectly fine, you're the ones who're no good!"

"Oh my god, it's come back to life!"

"A ghost!!"
