Chapter 117
As he was speaking, the chubby man was about to grab Xu He's vegetable basket. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing after living in the city for several years.
I had offended people when I sold vegetables at a stall in the past, but I had never offended a man like this.
He was not afraid at all. He transferred the basket to his other hand without any fear and said coldly, "I hope you won't block the way."
"Oh my, such a cold and stern temperament, it's exactly what I like." The man looked Xu He up and down, like a snake crawling over his body, "Such a tall and slender girl, rare, rare."
Seeing that the other party did not restrain himself and even spoke more brazenly, Xu He turned around and was about to leave. The man refused to let him go. He quickly caught up with him and blocked his way, smiling greasyly: "Don't leave, isn't it wonderful to have some fun with me~"
Xu He had never seen such a stubborn person. He squatted like a wall of flesh to block the road, but he was not a pushover and refused to move. He pushed the man, who looked strong, and he staggered and fell into the ditch on the side of the road.
The man probably didn't expect Xu He to be so strong, and he sat down in the ditch without reacting. However, the servant who was following him saw that his master was at a disadvantage, and rushed over anxiously, "Master, are you okay?"
The man came to his senses and looked at the servant who was hunched over stupidly. He felt ashamed that he was knocked down by a little boy. "What are you all standing there for? Why don't you help me up? You are a bunch of good-for-nothings!"
The servants hurriedly pulled the person out of the canal, and Xu He took the opportunity to run away.
"Catch him now, you ungrateful bastard! I'll teach him a lesson today!"
Four or five servants rushed forward and surrounded the man.
"I thought you were so capable, but if I don't subdue you today, I won't be named Qin."
After saying that, he stepped forward and grabbed Xu He's wrist. In a hurry, Xu He threw the basket in his arms out, and the vegetables in the basket spilled all over the man. The man's eyes were covered by the leaves, and he dug them open in a few moves. He became even more angry and was about to use violence when he was hit hard in the face by a punch.
Suddenly he felt the world spinning and he fell to the ground again. He felt a painful crack at the corner of his mouth and a sweet and fishy taste followed.
"Zhang, Zhang Fangyuan! You actually helped a little boy to beat me! Ouch~"
"You bunch of idiots, come with me!" Qin Shang covered his mouth and kicked the servant beside him.
The followers rushed forward and immediately there was a series of dull sounds of fists and feet hitting flesh, which made people's teeth ache.
Qin Shang watched his followers being kicked to the ground one by one. He didn't dare to run up to get beaten. He sat on the stone steps and cursed angrily: "I am enjoying myself, why do you care? You are meddling in my business!"
"You dare to stretch your dead hands to my husband, and Master Qin calls this meddling in other people's business?" Zhang Fangyuan picked up a lackey and threw him to Qin Shang's feet.
The man shuddered.
Zhang Fangyuan stepped forward and kicked the man twice. Qin Shang quickly hugged his head and feet to protect his body, rolled twice like a round ball, wailing continuously. People around originally wanted to watch the fun, but when they saw that it was Qin Shang and his men who were cowering and not daring to step forward, they thought that the audience was over, so they quickly gathered around and clapped their hands and cheered.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting!"
Qin Shang ran away in panic, not knowing that Xu He was Zhang Fangyuan's husband. He just passed by here and saw the young man, who was very handsome, dressed nicely, and came to buy vegetables in person. How could he have thought of him as the husband of a rich family? Even if he was from a wealthy family, it would have been fine, but he had the bad luck of meeting him as Zhang Fangyuan's husband.
He had seen Zhang Fangyuan twice when he worked under his cousin in the past. He was so ruthless that ordinary people could not match him. He had originally asked his cousin for the person, but his cousin refused. He never expected that this guy's fist would fall on his head. He felt bad, but he couldn't blame his face, so he begged for mercy.
Xu He was afraid that something might happen, so he quickly grabbed Zhang Fangyuan and said, "Forget it, forget it."
Zhang Fangyuan's chest heaved, and he was able to breathe a little easier when Xu He held his breath. He had previously seen Qin Shang molesting a girl in the street, and now he was molested by him. He was really angry. If he had come a little later, it would have caused a disaster!
"I, I never met him. I just ran into your husband on the road and praised his beauty. It was a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding!"
Xu He pulled Zhang Fangyuan and said, "Let's go."
"Qin Shang, I don't care if you bully others everywhere, but if you want to bully me, I'm ready to fight you anytime!"
"I don't dare." Seeing Zhang Fangyuan being persuaded by Xu He, Qin Shang quickly got up from the ground. The servants also went to surround him. While apologizing, he retreated: "Today is all a misunderstanding. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We'll meet again another day."
After saying that, a group of people left in disgrace.
Seeing the man running away, Zhang Fangyuan turned back to look at Xu He. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Are you scared?"
Xu He shook his head, thought for a moment, and nodded.
Zhang Fangyuan was amused by his action. He still held Xu He's hand despite the hot weather. The two held it tightly, and sweat oozed from their palms. "I know you are frugal, but for safety reasons, you should bring a few people with you next time you go out. Even if the other party has more people than you can beat, at least there will be someone who can report the news. If I hadn't gone to check on the business here today, wouldn't it have been a delay?"
"I brought people with me. I thought it would be inconvenient for horses and carriages to come in here, so I asked them to wait on the main road outside."
Zhang Fangyuan patted the back of Xu He's hand and said, "You can't be blamed for this. It's not the passers-by's fault that they are causing trouble and disrupting order."
"You said that person just now was Qin Shang?"
Zhang Fangyuan responded.
"I didn't expect that he still didn't change his bad habits and committed a criminal record earlier."
Zhang Fangyuan led his people back. The servant who had not been seen for a long time came over to check the situation. Seeing that something had happened, he turned pale with fright. Fortunately, Zhang Fangyuan did not blame him. Instead, he asked the servant to pick up the basket and go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables again.
"Qin Shang has always been a villain, and he would give favors to people. He has never been taught a lesson for this. But after being severely reprimanded in the street, I think he will learn his lesson."
"I hope so."
The wheels of the Zhang family's carriage rolled through the long bluestone street. Qin Shang, who had just come out of the clinic, happened to see the two carriages with their curtains still open and spat fiercely.
"This Zhang guy is really ruthless. I'm afraid my mouth won't heal for ten days or half a month. How can I explain to my father when I go back? It's so embarrassing. I will definitely get a scolding when I go back."
The more Qin Shang thought about it, the more indignant he felt. However, he knew that his boxing skills were not as good as Zhang Fangyuan's, and it would not be easy to defeat him. Although it was easy to find someone because he had a martial arts school at home, the Zhang family also had a martial arts school under their control. It was not certain that Qin Shang would get the upper hand in a fight between the two.
His father was having a headache recently because of the affairs of the Zhuang family's martial arts school, so how could he dare to cause trouble again? Thinking of this, he was so angry that he kicked the servants several times but could not relieve his anger.
Xu He didn't take this unpleasant incident to heart, but Zhang Fangyuan was unhappy about it. He always followed him around, as if he was afraid that he would get lost. In addition, the family dispatched two martial artists from the martial arts school to accompany him whenever he went out for anything, big or small.
Not long after, Ruijin children's exam was over, the couple's attention fell on their child again, and the whole family rushed to pick him up.
Many parents gathered outside the examination room, looking as if they had been waiting for a long time, and were eagerly looking forward to seeing the test. After the bell rang, the quiet examination room became abuzz, and candidates came out one after another.
The older candidates looked pale, and those who were taking the test for the first time looked exhausted and pale. The elders in their families rushed over to them and asked about their well-being.
"Brother! Here, here!"
Brother Xiaoli stared straight at the entrance of the examination room where there were crowds of people. Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He hadn't seen anyone yet, but he had good eyesight and spotted his brother at a glance.
Seeing his tall and straight brother coming out with a book box, he stood out among the messy crowd. Little Li smiled with his teeth showing, half of his body stuck out and he crossed his arms and waved them.
“Come on, come on!”
I have been taking exams for several days in a row. The examination room is very quiet. I am used to the noisy little chatterboxes, so I feel a little uncomfortable after not hearing them for a few days.
Seeing the little head sticking out of the carriage, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Ruijin."
Rui Jin's brows twitched slightly when he heard a soft voice coming from the carriage. The small window was almost filled up by Xiao Li, and the remaining small gap revealed a pair of beautiful eyes.
"Brother Xiaoxing is here too?"
Ruili then remembered Xiaoruan who was with him. He quickly made room and pulled Xiaoxing up.
Luo Xingyu pursed her lips and smiled as she nodded at Ruijin. She wanted to say that she was here to pick him up, but considering the etiquette, she said, "I'm here on behalf of my grandfather to ask Brother Ruijin about the test questions this time."
Rui Jin said, "I will talk to the Master in person when I get back."
Luo Yuxing curved his eyes slightly and said "OK".
"Come on, brother, I'll lead you up."
When little Li saw his brother approaching the carriage, he quickly jumped outside the curtain.
Ruijin almost stepped on it, but when he saw the white hand reaching out to him, he reluctantly stepped back, held the hand and climbed up.
"Is this exam difficult?"
"Are you tired, brother?"
"How many days are left before the list is posted?"
Luo Yuxing chuckled: "Little Li, you asked so many questions in one breath without even taking a breath."
Rui Jin said: "The questions in the children's exam are standard. The teacher has talked about them. It just tests whether the students have read and memorized enough content."
"Then it won't be a big problem." Brother Xiaoli came up to Ruijin and massaged his shoulders and back: "If brother passes the exam, I can eat delicious food with him."
Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He were watching the three kids talking, but they couldn't get a word in.
Seeing that Xiaoli seemed to have gotten himself into trouble and looked more smug and confident than Ruijin, Zhang Fangyuan shook his head helplessly.
How come they grew up together, eating together, living together, but they grew up in different directions?
"Anyway, the exam is finally over. The teacher said that considering you are tired from the exams, he will give you one more day to rest."
"Yeah!" Little Carp clapped his hands happily: "It would be great if my brother could take the exam every month!"
The people in the carriage just watched Xiaoli brother showing off, and it felt like they were back to the house in just a few steps.
"Xing'er, let's have lunch here today."
Luo Yuxing felt a little embarrassed. He had been here many times during the past two days when Ruijin was in trouble. If he stayed here...
"Stay for dinner, and I'll tell you about the test questions."
Since Ruijin had spoken, Luo Yuxing no longer refused.
"Master, husband, you are back."
Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He got off the carriage. The butler had been waiting in front of the carriage for a while. When he saw the young master and the two young masters enter the house, he hurried forward and said to the owner of the house, "The government just sent someone to summon us."
