Chapter 26: Shamelessly Taking Charge
Rutang’s grandmother’s house is at the innermost part of Zhangtun and consists of two brick houses.
Rutang's uncle is very capable and filial, and his grandmother's family was the first in the village to live in a brick house.
There was a fierce quarrel in the yard. With the help of the lights in the yard, Rutang saw the mess in her grandmother's yard.
Two groups of people were arguing, with noises of shouting and crying mixed together, and it seemed that they were even fighting.
The light was dim and she couldn't see clearly. She didn't know who was fighting with whom. When Rutang squinted to look carefully, Yu Yaoyang beside her had already jumped off the bicycle and rushed over.
Rutang was afraid that he would suffer a loss, so he parked the car outside the yard and ran in.
In the yard, Rutang's uncle Hao Wang was wearing a vest and holding a wooden stick, fighting one against five. He was only a few years older than Rutang, and the young man in his twenties was full of energy, but he could not withstand the opponent's superior numbers and was already at a disadvantage.
Behind him, Hao Mei was leaning on a crutch and wiping her tears. The chaotic scene left her helpless.
"Hao Mei, you jinx! You brought my brother to the police station, and our Chen family will not let this go!" Chen Cai shouted, and several members of the Chen family behind him followed suit, with ferocious faces as if they were going to demolish the house.
"Bullshit! My sister's arm was broken by your damn brother. She has been staying at my mother's house for the past few days. Who knows how your evil brother got put in jail!" Hao Wang protected his sister.
Five people from the Chen family came and surrounded Hao Wang. Just as Hao Wang was about to suffer a loss, a lazy male voice sounded from behind the crowd.
"What's going on? Are you guys bullying me because we have no one left at home? Why are you guys beating up my uncle?"
When everyone looked over after hearing this, the faces of the people from the Chen family and the Hao family changed at the same time.
Yu Yaoyang!
The Chen family members changed their expressions because they all knew that Yu Yaoyang was good at fighting. It was said that this kid had already defeated opponents in several surrounding villages when he was a teenager, and at a young age he became the spiritual leader of the nearby gangs.
When Hao Wang and his brother saw him, their faces turned ugly. Hao Wang, who was honest and upright, blurted out: "Don't try to get close to that smiling guy. Who is your uncle?"
The reason why Hao Mei was sent back to her parents' home was that she insisted on opposing her daughter Rutang's marriage to a street urchin. Although she had a weak character, she showed absolute persistence in her daughter's marriage. Although Hao Wang was not from Dali Village, he still knew about the street urchin who was well-known in Dali Village.
He stood on his sister's side and firmly opposed this marriage. In the eyes of the Hao family, letting Rutang marry Yu Yaoyang was like pushing the child into the fire pit.
The old man of the Hao family died a few years ago, and the old lady has been ill and her mind is a little confused in recent years. The only unmarried manager Hao Wang is left in the family. Today, the brother and sister are planning to call Rutang over and send him away secretly to avoid this marriage.
Before they could reach a conclusion, the two brothers of the Chen family showed up with their people.
Chen Fu was sent to the police station for education because of Rutang's betrayal. Chen's family wanted to find Rutang to ask about the betrothal money, but Rutang was busy with business from dawn to dusk and was not at home. They couldn't find Rutang, so they went to Hao Mei's parents' home to make trouble.
Not only Rutang's father was concerned about her dowry, but also Chen's relatives.
The eldest uncle Chen Cai had already chosen a marriage for his son and wanted to "borrow" 200 yuan to make things look good. The second uncle Chen Yun, Chen Guilan's father, didn't have much need for the money, but since his eldest brother had already "borrowed" it, he didn't want to miss the opportunity.
Old Mrs. Chen even supported her two sons to divide Rutang's betrothal gift equally. The third branch of the Chen family was like the Rutang family, and there was no son. Naturally, Old Mrs. Chen was more inclined to the first and second branches. It was also Old Mrs. Chen's instruction that these two families came to make trouble.
Although the whereabouts of Rutang's betrothal gift was unknown, the Chen family knew that Hao Mei's brother had money from a small business. As long as they could accuse Hao Mei of being a jinx and use the excuse of using money to rescue Chen Fu, the Hao family would always give them the money.
The abacus was clattering, but they didn't expect Hao Wang to be a tough guy. Not only did he not pay a penny, he also beat the Chen family out. The two sides fought fiercely. Just as Hao Wang was about to be knocked down by the Chen family, Yu Yaoyang fell from the sky.
Hao Wang got angry when he saw this street urchin, and he got even angrier when he heard Yu Yaoyang calling him uncle.
"Uncle, let's talk about our family affairs behind closed doors. Let's first kick out these barking dogs." Yu Yaoyang was very polite to his future daughter-in-law's family. In his heart, whoever loves Rutang is his wife's family member. Chen Fu, the old gambler, does not count as he has expelled him from the "family" group.
Although Hao Wang didn't like Yu Yaoyang, he thought what he said was quite nice. Those money-hungry guys in the Chen family are nothing but dogs.
"Yu Yaoyang! How can you not tell the difference between good and bad? We all support your marriage to Rutang, but the Hao family is against it, and you help the Hao family to fight us?" the old man shouted.
The two young men following behind him also nodded vigorously. They were all the master's sons.
"What do you mean by not being able to tell good from bad? How can it be your turn, Wangwang, about our father and I?"
After Yu Yaoyang finished speaking, he kicked Chen Yun, who was closest to him, away with a sweeping kick.
He snatched the stick from Chen Yun's son and knocked the man down with two bangs. The two sons standing behind Chen Cai stopped fighting and turned around to run, almost bumping into Rutang.
The younger ones all ran away, and the two remaining old ones didn't dare to show off. If it were someone else, they could still put on airs as elders, but the person in front of them was Yu Yaoyang!
He is a notorious street urchin in the surrounding villages. He doesn't care about his relatives, old or young. The virtues of respecting the elderly and loving the young do not exist in him. If anyone offends him, men, women, young or old, he will treat them equally and just beat them up.
The two elders of the Chen family stepped back, their faces full of fear. Suddenly, their eyes fell on Rutang.
Their greed for money made them forget to be afraid of the unscrupulous street thugs.
The old man rushed to Rutang and asked, "Where is the betrothal gift?"
"You should ask Chen Fu why he came to my grandma's house to make trouble?" Rutang put the blame on her father. Before the old man could say anything, Yu Yaoyang came over.
"What's the matter? Is it because you are too tight-lipped that the motorcycle won't start? Do you deserve a beating?" Yu Yaoyang flexed his wrist.
The old man didn't dare to stay any longer, and ran out, still muttering: "Hurry up and redeem your father, there are things at home waiting for him to discuss!"
Seeing that the eldest uncle had run away, the second uncle did not dare to stay. He grabbed his son who was knocked down by Yu Yaoyang and ran out with him.
Ru Tang looked coldly at these jumping clowns, who bullied the weak and feared the strong and were ignorant of the law.
The police station is not a fake one, what is there to redeem?
"Why are you all standing outside? Come inside and talk." Yu Yaoyang acted very familiar and went over to pat his uncle's shoulder. Hao Wang pushed him away and was about to chase Yu Yaoyang out when Rutang spoke.
