"Don't talk nonsense, you're spewing filth. You're just afraid we'll meet the old man. May you die a horrible death and be childless!" Dong Yun cursed.
“Li Xingguo, do you see that? The women you find are all so vicious. He cursed you to be childless,” the third brother said, pointing at Dong Yun.
Dong Yun realized she had misspoke, "I was insulting you, even your son will suffer..."
Before Dong Yun could even utter a curse, the third brother smacked him hard with several rice spoons, leaving Dong Yun with blood streaming from his nose and mouth, and a head full of bumps. He showed no mercy whatsoever.
Seeing that the third brother was really getting desperate, Li Xingguo didn't dare to confront him head-on and could only pull Dong Yun back.
Dong Yun clutched his head and fell to the ground. "I'm going to call the police! I'm going to arrest him!" Several more teeth fell out of his mouth, and blood splattered as he spoke.
"Mind your own business and don't make any last words. If you dare to push me again, I'll knock all your teeth out." The third brother pointed at Dong Yun with a rice spoon. Dong Yun was so scared that she shrank into a ball and hugged her head tightly.
"Li Xing'an, you've gone too far! No matter what she said, you can't just hit her whenever you want. This is a society governed by law, and we can't tolerate your arrogance!" Li Xingguo roared fiercely, not daring to step forward at all.
"You love to show off so much, you might as well wear your underwear and get out of my sight. Do you think everyone in the world is your mother and everyone has to give way to you? If you keep arguing with me, I'll shut you up!" The third brother was really angry. They dared to curse his children, and he felt like killing them.
"Fine, you wait, you wait, today I'll send you to jail." Li Xingguo felt he couldn't take it anymore. This was really going too far. The third brother only dared to treat him like this because he knew he wouldn't dare to do anything.
Li Xingguo took out his phone, ready to call the police, but the security guards who were watching the commotion at the door quickly came over to stop him. They felt that it would be useless for the police to come to their door during the Chinese New Year.
"Comrade, please calm down. It was indeed you who started the verbal abuse and physical assault. We have CCTV footage here, and even if we call the police, you'll still get a reprimand. Why make a scene during the New Year? Seeing the police during the holidays might bring bad luck for the whole year."
“You’re all in cahoots, you’re all speaking up for him,” Li Xingguo wasn’t stupid.
The security guard touched his nose. If they weren't on the side of the homeowners, would they be on the side of outsiders? If the homeowners were being beaten, they would have come to stop them long ago.
“Brother, there are surveillance cameras everywhere. It’s not that we’re biased, but it wouldn’t do you any good if the police came. You’re more educated and knowledgeable than me, and you definitely know more about the law than I do,” the security guard said, giving Li Xingguo a slight compliment.
Hearing this, Li Xingguo felt a little better. "We were wrong, but he shouldn't have beaten someone up like this."
The security guard pulled Li Xingguo aside. "That's true, the self-defense was a bit excessive. Well then, I'll take the liberty of mediating and offer to compensate you both for some medical expenses. What do you think? If this gets out of hand, it'll end up like this anyway. Judging from your demeanor, you're probably a leader in your unit. It wouldn't be good if things escalated. What do you say?"
The security guard understands the art of language.
Li Xingguo did indeed have these concerns. After all, he would be retiring in a few years, and he didn't want to ruin his reputation in his later years. If he really angered his family, they would use force against him, and he wouldn't get away with it.
"You're quite the smooth talker, young man. I'll give you face and pay us 20,000 yuan for medical expenses, then we'll call it even."
The security guard looked troubled. "Sir, isn't this a bit too much?"
"More than 20,000? He knocked out five or six of my wife's teeth. More than 20,000?" Li Xingguo didn't ask for more. 20,000 was not much at all. If you knock out a tooth, you would have to pay more than 20,000.
