Chapter 52 Why are you a jerk?



After leaving Matchmaker Wang's house, Zhao Wei had nothing else to do. When he was about to go home to sleep, he saw a vague figure walking towards the entrance of the village.

The other person walked very fast, as if there was a ghost chasing him, and suddenly fell down.

This was kind of fun, and it attracted his attention. He couldn't help but stand under a tree, ready to see if this person could make another fool of himself.

When I got closer, I finally saw a familiar face in the dim light of the neighbor's house.

It turned out to be Zhao Long who had disappeared for several days.

This guy must have stolen the money from his grandmother and then ran to the county town to have fun for several days.

I just don’t know what happened. His face and nose were bruised, as if he had been beaten up.

Zhao Wei had no good feelings towards his fourth uncle. This guy was the one who exploited their family the most.

Taking advantage of his status as a scholar, he acted arrogantly and bossed everyone in his family around at will. They lived in darkness for ten years. Just thinking about it makes me sick.

At this time, the guy seemed a little drunk, walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and after he was done he was still howling loudly.

"Come on! Come and fight me! I'm not afraid of you!"

"Bah! Who the hell are you? You're a bunch of lowly, poor bastards. Just wait until I pass the exam, and then you'll all come and flatter me."

He was howling in a very satisfying way, but I had no idea who he was scolding.

Just as Zhao Wei was curling his lips in disdain, he saw a piece of broken brick flying out from somewhere.

"Stop cursing me! Get away from me!"

Along with this roar, the brick hit Zhao Long's forehead accurately.

At that time, Zhao Long let out a scream and fell to the ground on the street. His limbs kept twitching and he couldn't get up for a long time.

The man who beat the man was a ruthless person, Zhao Wei had already identified him as a member of a rather poor family in the village.

The other party was probably irritated by the "poor guy" Zhao Long mentioned, so he threw a brick at him to scare him.

But probably no one expected that the brick could be thrown so accurately, knocking Zhao Long to the ground immediately.

After hearing the scream, the family was so frightened that they stopped and dared not make a sound again.

The people around were a little far away, and no one came out to meddle in this matter.

So, Zhao Long just lay in the snow like this, it was really retribution!

Zhao Wei took a deep breath, pretended nothing had happened, and left quietly.

If this matter goes wrong, the Zhao family may have to continue to hold a funeral.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wei decided to visit the homes of the two villagers whose relatives had died.

At present, most families in the village have people coming to help with the funeral. Zhao Yong has come on behalf of their family. Now that it is getting dark, it would be better to take Dad back with them.

At this time, there were several bonfires burning in the yard. Everyone gathered together, some were keeping watch by the fire, while others were helping to fold gold ingots.

Some were cleaning the floor, picking up the remnants of offerings, replacing incense and candles, etc.

Some were helping to boil water for tea, comforting the family members, and receiving visiting mourners.

Some maintained order and asked everyone to set up the mourning tent.

At this time, Zhao Yong was working in the fire room, helping to cook glutinous rice.

This meal is both an offering to the deceased and a midnight snack for the night watchers. It is usually prepared for those who keep watch all night.

There is only this meal, nothing else.

Rich families would provide some white sugar for people to eat, but now that everyone is very poor, it's better to save on sugar.

But even so, many people love to eat this meal.

Therefore, every night, there are quite a lot of people who stay up all night.

Zhao Yong had already been on guard for two nights. This night, Zhao Wei was unwilling to let him guard any longer. After all, he was old and could not hold on like the young people with strong firepower.

When he kicked the door, the crowd just glanced at him and then turned their eyes away.

But the deceased's family had some strong dissatisfaction with him, and when they met, they became a little jealous.

"What are you doing here? My son has been hurt so badly by you, and you still have the nerve to come to my door?"

"Hmph! You are not welcome in our home, please leave!"

"I don't want you to come again if there's nothing else to do. Please have some shame!"

The family of the deceased directly expelled him, as if blaming Zhao Wei for the death.

It was obvious that they had tried their best to control themselves, but due to their grief and anger, they were still unable to remain calm and composed.

To be honest, they had already used up all their rationality by not picking up the knife to chop Zhao Wei.

How can I not hate it!

If Zhao Wei and his men had not eaten the beast meat and made the villagers greedy, everyone would not have rushed to the mountains.

Zhao Wei felt that he was very wronged.

It wasn't like he forced these people to do what they did at knifepoint.

But since the ugly words have been spoken openly, if he stays any longer, he will only be scolded.

So, he said coldly: "Please accept my condolences! I will leave naturally after I pick up my father!"

At this time, Zhao Yong also heard the noise, ran out in a hurry, and pulled Zhao Wei behind him.

"Why are you here? I'm enough here by myself. Go back quickly, or you'll disturb others!"

Zhao Yong came out in time, so he had nothing to cover up.

Zhao Wei had sharp eyes and noticed that there were several bloody cuts on his fingers.

Looking at the marks on the wound, they did not appear today, but he has been busy and did not notice.

"Dad, what happened to your hand? How did you hurt it?"

Zhao Yong seemed to be frightened. He quickly hid his hand in his sleeve and said perfunctorily, "I accidentally hurt it while working. It's not a big deal. I'll bandage it when I get back."

"Okay, this is none of your business, so don't make things more complicated."

When Zhao Yong was trying to chase Zhao Wei away again and again, he heard a cold shout coming from the kitchen.

"Zhao family, where the hell have you been? The water in this pot is almost boiled dry. What the hell are you doing?"

"Bah! You're such a grown-up, but you can't even do such a small thing. What's the use of you? Why don't you come over here and help..."

What kind of person is this? He cursed his father and mother, and even mentioned the word "death". His words were very disrespectful, which made Zhao Wei frown.

Then he saw his father nodding and bowing to greet him.

"Don't hurry, I'll be right there!"

Is this... scolding your own father?

Zhao Wei just felt a head full of evil fire, it was really rising to the top of his head, he was about to explode with anger.

How dare she treat her family like this in front of him? It's really too much!

He followed his father and cursed loudly.

"Who is it? Which bastard doesn't understand human language and is cursing people out there? Get out here!"

"Damn it, why are you being so rude here? Come out and explain yourself!"
