“Bang Geng insulted me, so I can’t hit him? What’s wrong with that? Is Bang Geng Jia Dongxu’s son or your son?” Yan Bugui said sarcastically to Yi Zhonghai.
"What do you mean?" Yi Zhonghai's face paled in shock. Could it be that Yan Bugui had found out about his affair?
"What you think I mean is none of your business. Don't you know your place? What's wrong with you? You said it yourself, I'm the old man of this courtyard house."
How dare you insult me, you scoundrel! What's wrong with me teaching you a lesson? Back when you were the old man in the courtyard, the people there said a few things about you.
"You just let Sha Zhu beat that guy up, why didn't you say anything about that?" Yan Bugui glanced at Yi Zhonghai with some disdain.
Everyone immediately recalled the time when Yi Zhonghai was a wealthy man living in a courtyard house. Yi Zhonghai, you're no better than him.
We complained about you before, and you even ordered Sha Zhu to beat us up. So what? Now Bang Geng is cursing Grandpa Yan.
So what if we beat him up? Besides, Yan Bugui used to be Banggeng's teacher. Such a rude jerk, he deserves to be beaten to death! And he's still yelling like that. Birds of a feather flock together, none of them are good people.
"You!" Yi Zhonghai exclaimed, exasperated. "What's wrong with Yan Laoxi these days? He's completely unreasonable!"
"Pah, what do you mean 'I'? What's wrong with what I said? I was Bang Geng's teacher before, and he was his elder. He insulted me?"
So what if I hit him? Does that mean what you said in the courtyard about respecting elders was all a lie?
"Or is this respect for elders only for you, Yi Zhonghai, and the deaf old lady?" Yan Bugui sneered, directly exposing Yi Zhonghai's true colors.
Yi Zhonghai's face instantly darkened, turning pale and then purple. He had thought the same thing before, but he never expected Yan Bugui to say it out loud.
"Uncle Yan, what did my son Banggeng do to offend you? You can't just bully us, a widow and her orphan, like this!"
"Waaaaah." Qin Huairu cursed inwardly, "What a useless piece of trash. I have to take action."
"Alright, Qin Huairu, all you do is cry all day long. I'm trying to help you educate your son, and instead of being grateful, you're complaining."
"It's like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, ptooey!" Yan Bugui snorted coldly, speaking with some disdain. He certainly wouldn't have been so angry before.
But I was already angry with Ma Hua this morning, then I was angry with Bang Geng just now, and then I was hit by Jia Zhangshi in front of so many people. And then I remembered the song Bang Geng was humming.
I can almost remember this song after listening to it once. It's catchy and addictive. Doesn't that make me, Yan Laoxi, a stinking donkey who's spreading his message throughout Beijing?
Oh my god! This is too much for me! How could Yan Bugui, who always considered himself a scholar, possibly tolerate this? Just thinking about how his name would be known throughout Beijing...
Yan Bugui's emotions were like a rollercoaster; his face was flushed, his eyes were bloodshot, and he wanted nothing more than to bite the stick to pieces. Hearing Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu's words, he could no longer hold back.
When Yi Zhonghai saw Yan Bugui's expression, he was also taken aback. What had this guy done just now to make Yan Bugui so angry? Yi Zhonghai was now at a loss.
When Yi Zhonghai saw Qin Huairu looking at him, he quickly shook his head, his meaning clear: that was it. Never mind.
"Alright, then I'll thank Uncle Yan in advance for helping me discipline my child," Qin Huairu said, her teeth practically grinding to powder, forced to swallow her anger.
"You little slut, what are you saying? What do you mean by thank you? You're just going to let this go, Qin Huairu? Let me tell you, I'm not dead yet!"
"This family isn't your place to make decisions. You can't just say it's your turn and then decide. I say no, I..." Jia Zhangshi saw Qin Huairu actually thank the Yan family.
He was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode. He immediately pointed at Qin Huairu's nose and started yelling, but when he saw Qin Huairu's icy expression, he immediately fell silent.
"Hmph, Yan Laoxi, you're off the hook today. But if I ever see you hitting my dog again, don't blame me for making your house a mess and ruining your New Year," Jia Zhangshi said viciously.
"Pah! You old widow, you don't deserve it. Who do you think you are? Get out of here, get out of here, get out of here!" Aunt Yan retorted, not to be outdone.
It's just the post-fight trash talk segment, anyone can do that.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu took the child home immediately. Jia Zhangshi and Aunt Yan exchanged insults for a while, then, finding it pointless, left.
Jia Zhangshi was angry, so when she got home, she was naturally reluctant to move around, making a lot of noise.
Seeing Jia Zhangshi like this, Qin Huairu's face also darkened: "Who are you throwing things at? Don't you listen to what your precious grandson was doing just now?"
When Jia Zhangshi learned about the song from Bang Geng, she immediately panicked. It was just a song!
It wasn't something Banggeng made up; it was something Banggeng learned from the kids in the alley. Why is Yan Laoxi beating our Banggeng?
But Qin Huairu stopped him directly.
"Mom, don't worry about it, I have my own way." A cold glint flashed in Qin Huairu's eyes. A sneer appeared on her lips.
In a normal family, they would definitely scold Bang Geng, tell him he can't sing like that, and explain the consequences of doing so.
But who is Bang Geng? He's the one with a "throne" to inherit in his family.
Madam Jia and Qin Huairu treated the stick with utmost care, as if it were something precious and fragile; they would never scold it.
Now that Qin Huairu has suffered such a great loss, she naturally wants to get revenge. However, Qin Huairu will not take matters into her own hands, so she has no choice but to turn to Bang Geng's biological father, Yi Zhonghai.

On the MCA side, they had also finished their meal and the family gathered together to drink tea, chat, and listen to the radio.
