At worst, I'll team up with Xiaohu and clear the Xialing Village dungeon.
Damn it, they just ganged up on the bosses right from the start, giving them no time to farm gear.
Zhu Liwen's eyes were filled with rage as he pointed a kitchen knife at the two men.
"Ye Cheng, you have a path to heaven but you choose to walk into hell, and you even dare to bully my mother. Don't blame us brothers for what happened today."
"I'll bully your mother, fuck!" Ye Cheng cursed back. "You're all a bunch of bastards, you tricked us into staying for dinner, and then took the opportunity to surround us. Do you have no regard for the law?"
"Eat my ass! You guys can wait for the feast!" the fourth brother said viciously.
"Get them!" Zhu Liwen didn't want to waste any more words. He shouted and charged forward with a kitchen knife in hand.
Ye Cheng has now completely calmed down. There's absolutely no way things can be resolved today, and there's no time to call the police.
"Little Tiger, go all out later. Go up there and cripple two of them, otherwise we'll have a hard time getting out."
"Got it, bro, just hit the throat, just one hit on the throat," Xiao Hu said fiercely.
Just as the two sides were about to start fighting, a short figure suddenly rushed in and attacked the four Zhu brothers.
"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! All of you, stop!"
Ye Cheng looked closely and saw that it was Aunt Li.
He exchanged a surprised glance with Xiaohu, wondering what was going on.
The Zhu brothers were also dumbfounded, jumping up and down in frustration after being beaten. Zhu Liwen asked in exasperation,
"Mom, why did you hit us?"
"If we don't hit you, who should we hit? They're guests here, and you come up here and start fighting. Do you want to go to jail?"
The old lady stood in the middle, hands on her hips, and started scolding the four brothers. The Zhu brothers had no way to deal with their own mother and were all extremely frustrated.
Zhu Liwen couldn't take it anymore. He pointed at Ye Cheng and the others and said...
"Mom, they caused us to lose our boat, and today they came to cause trouble again, even climbing over our wall."
"Who told you that they came here to cause trouble?"
The old lady glared at him, and Zhu Liwen's imposing manner immediately vanished.
"They came to see me, wanting me to keep an eye on you guys. They even brought two boxes of milk. What's all this trouble? You're the ones causing trouble!"
"No, Mom, why were you chasing them with a knife?" Zhu Liwen looked at his mother with a puzzled expression.
"I'm killing a chicken, killing a chicken!" the old woman exclaimed angrily. "I went to great lengths to get them to stay for dinner, so of course I have to kill a chicken, right?"
Xiao Hu was a little confused. He asked, "..."
"Auntie, weren't you going to kill us?"
Aunt Li turned around and looked at Xiao Hu with annoyance.
"You child, didn't I tell you to stay for dinner? Why would I kill you? I'm just an old woman, not some murderer."
Ye Cheng looked at Xiao Hu speechlessly and said softly,
"I told you to watch less violent movies, but now you've misunderstood."
Xiao Hu scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
Now that the misunderstanding was cleared up, Ye Cheng no longer needed to hold back. He looked at Aunt Li and said...
"Um, ma'am, it's a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding. Why don't you ask your son to put the knife down first?"
Zhu Liwen was still holding a kitchen knife, dripping blood, which looked terrifying.
"Hurry up and give me the knife!" the old lady turned around and scolded her eldest son.
Zhu Liwen returned the knife to the old woman with a frustrated expression, but he was still unhappy.
"Mom, why are you inviting them to dinner? We have a grudge against each other."
"What grudge could there be? You guys are the ones who hurt people, so I have to apologize on your behalf."
"You four," the old lady said, pointing to her four sons, "go inside and kill the chicken, then cook, then go buy some wine, and have a good drink with those two at noon."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards Ye Cheng.
"Xiao Ye, you can just eat here in peace. If they dare to touch you, this old woman will smash her head against the courtyard wall and die today!"
Upon hearing the old lady's harsh words, Zhu Liwen immediately became frightened.
"Mom! Why are you bringing this up? We'll just be obedient, okay?"
"Listen to me, listen to me and hurry up and get to work. I'll chat with Xiao Ye and the others for a bit."
With that, the old lady returned the kitchen knife to the eldest son, and then pulled Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu back to the yard to sit down.
The brothers looked at each other helplessly and went inside to work.
"Xiao Ye, don't worry about them, they'll handle it. I'll cook when the chicken is stewing, I guarantee it'll be delicious."
Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu are now sitting in the yard, feeling incredibly awkward.
The old lady was kind, but she couldn't stand the Zhu brothers. Although she didn't dare to touch them, the way they came in and out of the house, her eyes could kill them a hundred times over.
Fortunately, the old lady was quite talkative. She showed Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu around her chickens and vegetables, so it wasn't too boring.
With the four men preparing together, lunch was made much faster. In the end, the old lady went in to cook, and then set up a large table in the courtyard, letting Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu sit in the head seat.
To prevent the two from running away again, the old lady even had the third son squat at the door to keep watch, leaving Ye Cheng feeling helpless.
Even Liu Bang, who went to the Feast at Hongmen, didn't feel this bad.
After a long wait, the feast began. Aunt Li had her sons sit down with her, and then she happily looked at everyone and started talking.
“Xiao Ye, my sons are not bad at heart. It’s just that I’m a burden to them. They are always thinking about saving money for my medical treatment.”
"It's my body that's letting him down, causing him to take some crooked paths."
"In that case, I, this old woman, will first offer you a toast as an apology."
Before Ye Cheng could stop her, the old lady downed two ounces of baijiu in one gulp.
Ye Cheng stared in disbelief. "Wow, this old lady is so fierce!"
After the old lady finished drinking, five pairs of eyes stared at Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu.
The two exchanged a glance. "Let's drink then. What's there to be afraid of? We can't possibly lose to an old lady."
You can say I can't hold my liquor, but you can't say we don't have the guts to drink.
"drink!"
The two raised their glasses and downed two ounces of baijiu.
"Hmm, this wine is quite good." Ye Cheng couldn't help but praise it after finishing his drink. The wine was smooth and non-irritating on the palate, and only after it went down into his stomach did it have a spicy and warming taste.
Seeing that Ye Cheng and the others were drinking, the old lady was happy and couldn't help but introduce the drinks.
"This is our own brewed liquor, made from pure grains, and it's no worse than Maotai or anything like that."
As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady looked at Zhu Liwen.
"Boss, you take the lead and toast the guests."
Zhu Liwen stood up irritably, raised his glass, and without saying a word, downed another two ounces of baijiu. Then, holding the empty glass, he looked at the two of them with a provocative expression.
Damn, are they planning to use a war of attrition?
However, since the other party has already drunk it, I can't let my own momentum falter.
