Boss Fu rolled his eyes and stepped forward to chase the person away.
"Alright, that's all. Don't embarrass yourself in front of me."
"Get out of here, get out of here! If you go and do those illegal things again, see how many lives you'll have left to save!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fugui was overjoyed and immediately shook his head vigorously.
"Brother Gouwa, you're like my own brother. Don't worry, I'll never do it again."
"You dare not what? You dare not go to sea, or you dare not do these illegal things?"
Fu Laoda gave him a cold look, and Zhang Fugui hurriedly explained.
"I don't dare to smuggle anything overseas anymore. I've figured it out; I'm not destined to get rich."
This time when I go back, I plan to settle down with my wife and farm, and never get involved in these messy affairs again!
After saying that, he patted his chest, looking as if he had made up his mind.
Fu Laoda figured he wouldn't dare to fool him, so he snorted and shoved the bun in his hand over.
"Remember what you said. If I see you at sea again, don't expect me to bring you back!"
Zhang Fugui felt the warmth of the steamed bun in his hand, and the aroma of the bun made his stomach rumble wildly.
Zhang Fugui couldn't help but shed tears, and immediately bowed to Boss Fu to express his gratitude.
"Brother Gouwa, thank you. My grandfather was right, you are really good people."
"Waaah, not only did they save my life, they even gave me steamed buns to eat! I, Zhang Fugui, will remember this immense kindness and will definitely repay them when I have the chance!"
Looking at his snotty-nosed and tearful appearance, Boss Fu felt a bit disgusted.
Zhang Fugui was of the same generation as him, and although he was younger than him, he was still in his thirties or forties.
Not to mention that Zhang Fugui's eldest of his three children is already over ten years old. Sigh, I really don't know why this person is still so unreliable, like a little kid.
It's true that his parents spoiled him since he was little, never letting him do any work, but always making sure he got all the good food. That's how Zhang Fugui developed his arrogant and incompetent ways.
Boss Fu shook his head and was about to leave with his hands behind his back. Just then, Zhang Fugui, who was turning to leave with the steamed buns, suddenly screamed. Boss Fu turned around and saw that it was Grandpa Fu who had come over.
Grandpa Fu's face was as black as ink, and he rained blows on Zhang Fugui with his cane.
"You beast, you're causing trouble again! What did I say last time? If your parents don't care about you, then this old man will."
I'll beat you to death, you shameless beast! Just a few days ago your mother told me you'd changed for the better, that you'd gone to work on a boat and earn money. Ha! Pah! Did you think I didn't know? You're probably just using making money as a pretext to swindle money from the family and go out and mess around!"
Grandpa Fu got angrier and angrier as he cursed, and he struck Zhang Fugui with his cane without mercy, making Zhang Fugui howl in pain.
Fu Wan and the others inside the house heard the commotion.
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu, who had just gotten up and hadn't tied their hair up, came out to see what was going on, still half asleep.
Fu Wan and Ye Xiaocui also hurriedly followed. They thought it was Boss Fu beating someone up, but when they saw it was Grandpa Fu, they were immediately relieved.
Not only did Fu Wan's family come out to see what was going on, but the neighbors also came out when they heard the commotion.
It was breakfast time, and most people were eating with a bowl of porridge and a cornbread or flatbread in their hands.
"Oh dear, Uncle Fu, is this your grandson? Stop hitting him! If you hurt him, we'll have to go to the clinic for medicine!"
"That's right, Zhang Fugui isn't as tough as us roughnecks. With all that strength, be careful his mother doesn't come after you later!"
The ones speaking were Fu Zhenbang and his mother, Aunt Wei, who were sitting on the threshold of their back door. Although they were verbally advising Fu to stop hitting, their faces clearly said that they wanted Fu to hit harder.
When Zhang Fugui first came to the village, he was used to being fawned over and protected, which led to many conflicts with the young men in the village.
Fu Zhenbang was one of them. The two even got into a fight. Zhang Fugui was a weakling and couldn't beat Fu Zhenbang. He was beaten black and blue. However, Zhang Fugui's mother was a difficult person, and in the end, Fu Zhenbang's family had to pay for his medical expenses.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Fu subconsciously recalled those past events.
Many of the young men who used to fight with Zhang Fugui have now started families and taken on the responsibility of supporting their families.
But look at my grandson, who's in his thirties or forties and still so irresponsible.
Thinking of this, Grandpa Fu became even angrier and swung his cane forcefully.
"I'll beat you to death today, you bastard!"
Zhang Fugui wasn't stupid; he instinctively raised his hand to block, and that block caused Grandpa Fu to stumble two steps and fall violently to the ground.
"Grandpa!"
"uncle!"
Fu Laoda was quite frightened and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Fu Daye. Fortunately, Zhang Fugui reacted quickly and rushed over in the chaos to catch Fu Daye's falling body.
Those present were on tenterhooks at the sight. Grandpa Fu was the oldest man in the village, nearly eighty years old. If he fell like that, he might never be able to get up again.
Seeing Grandpa Fu's state, Fu Zhenbang felt a little regretful. After Fu Laoda and Zhang Fugui helped Grandpa Fu to his feet, he stopped watching the commotion and called his mother to turn around and go back into the house.
After being helped up, Grandpa Fu was still a little unsteady on his feet. Seeing this, Fu Wan quickly asked Fu Ling and another person to go inside and bring out a chair.
"Father, help Grandpa in and have a seat for a while!"
Fu Laoda responded, and Fu Ming, seeing Zhang Fugui's miserable state, couldn't help but offer a few words of advice.
"Grandpa, please don't hit Uncle Fugui anymore. He's already suffered, and he definitely won't dare to do it again."
But to everyone's surprise, Grandpa Fu didn't believe it at all and instead snorted coldly.
"Ha, whatever suffering he's endured, don't speak up for him. The village chief told me he was secretly following you, and I figured he was up to getting on your boat again."
I'm telling you, whatever you do, don't agree to it! A person like him can't endure any hardship!
Fu Wan was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this. No wonder Grandpa Fu started hitting people as soon as he arrived; it turned out he thought Zhang Fugui had this idea.
"Sir, you've really misunderstood. Uncle Fugui didn't come to us for this; he really has suffered."
"This is a long story, don't rush, sit down and have some water, and my dad will tell you slowly!"
Grandpa Fu listened to Fu Wan's words, and seeing that Fu Wan also spoke up for her grandson, he couldn't help but confirm it again.
"Is this kid really not here to cause you trouble?"
"No, it's not!"
"That's good!"
Grandpa Fu's stern face softened slightly. As long as he wasn't causing trouble for Boss Fu and his group, he still had the face to sit here!
Seeing this, Boss Fu sighed, turned around and asked the comrades in the camp if Zhang Fugui's matter did not need to be kept secret, and then turned back to tell Grandpa Fu about his encounter with Zhang Fugui at sea.
He had originally thought it was better to avoid trouble, but if he didn't make things clear now, he was afraid that Uncle Fu would have a hard time getting past Guan Zhang Fugui.
