Of course, Ye Chengcai didn't care where you put your face.
He glanced at Little Tiger.
"Xiao Hu, come over and restrain him."
"Here it comes." Xiao Hu was very good at this kind of thing. He went up and twisted Chen Houda's hand behind his back, grabbing him with one hand and making him unable to move.
Ye Cheng looked at Chen Houda, whose face was contorted in pain, and said,
“Uncle, I’m a reasonable person. If the person you hit were to hit you back, then I would be meddling. But isn’t it only right for them to hit you back?”
"Stop it! If you dare let a woman hit me, I'll fight you to the death."
Chen Hou struggled to break free from Xiao Hu's grasp, but Xiao Hu's strength was far beyond his ability to overcome.
Ye Cheng turned his head and looked at Han Xiaotao, who was already stunned, and said,
"Let's go."
Han Xiaotao was so frightened that she shook her head like a rattle drum.
"Brother Cheng, I don't dare, I don't dare."
Ye Cheng's face darkened, and he said sternly.
“If someone hits you, it’s only right for you to hit back. If you keep being so timid, people will dare to ride roughshod over you.”
"Fight back! Let them see that you're not someone to be trifled with."
"I...I..." Han Xiaotao's eyes were full of struggle.
She really didn't dare, but she didn't want to be bullied anymore.
Over the years, since becoming a widow, she has been secretly gossiped about, and openly mocked as well. Moreover, the Chen family never includes her in any good things; they are simply bullying her and her child.
"Think about the child. Do you want him to be bullied like you in the future?" Ye Cheng said calmly from the side.
"And look at Aunt Zhang, she's a widow too, who would dare to bully her like that?"
"Women become strong when they become mothers. If you don't want to be bullied all the time, you have to stand up straight!"
Ye Cheng deliberately raised his voice at the end, each word striking Han Xiaotao's heart.
child!
Bullying children!
If they bully me like this now, they'll definitely bully my children in the future.
Yes, I can't, I can't let them bully my child.
Han Xiaotao licked her lips, her gaze gradually hardening, and took a step forward.
A look of relief appeared in Ye Cheng's eyes, while Chen Houda could hardly believe that this woman actually wanted to hit him.
"Smack!"
A crisp sound!
The air in the entire room froze instantly.
Han Xiaotao's eyes were full of confusion.
Chen Houda stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that the young widow they had always bullied dared to hit him.
Just now, she actually slapped herself.
It wasn't very powerful, but it was a real slap in the face.
Should I get angry or what should I do?
Chen Houda himself didn't know either.
While Chen Houda was still in a daze, Ye Cheng gave Xiao Hu a look, and Xiao Hu released Chen Houda from behind.
"Alright, it's okay. He slapped you, and you slapped him back. You're even now. Let's go." Ye Cheng patted Han Xiaotao and then walked out first.
Han Xiaotao was still reeling from what had just happened; her delicate palms still felt a slight pain.
She couldn't remember how she managed to hit him.
However, seeing Chen Houda's fearful expression, she suddenly realized that he could be afraid too.
After coming out, Ye Cheng glanced around and then said in a low voice,
"Hurry up and leave, it will be troublesome if we are surrounded by the Chen family."
Even though Ye Cheng didn't actually fight, if they really surrounded him, damn it, another fierce battle was inevitable.
After saying that, the three of them jogged back to Ye Cheng's house, Han Xiaotao panting heavily.
She stroked her heaving chest, glanced at Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu, and then chuckled.
"Brother Cheng, Brother Xiaohu, I thought you guys weren't afraid, but I didn't expect you to run faster than rabbits!"
Little Tiger grinned.
"We're not stupid. There are only two of us, how could we not be afraid?"
Ye Cheng opened the refrigerator, took out three bottles of cola, and gave them to the two of them. He then took a sip before speaking to Han Xiaotao.
"Be afraid, but you have to show some spirit. If someone tries to bully you in the future, at least they'll think twice, understand? Like before, you would have bullied anyone who came."
Han Xiaotao nodded firmly after listening, and then said,
"Yes, Brother Cheng, I promise I won't let them bully me again."
"Good that you've figured it out. Take these longline fishing rods back and work with them. Remember to bring them to me tomorrow morning. And if they come looking for trouble tonight, just come find me."
After Han Xiaotao responded, she rode her tricycle back with the goods.
After Han Xiaotao left, Xiaohu finally asked,
"Bro, are we really going out to sea tomorrow? Are we planning to go head-to-head with them?"
"Don't always rely on brute force. I have other methods. Come on, let me tell you."
Ye Cheng whispered his plan to Xiao Hu.
Xiao Hu nodded repeatedly, and couldn't help but praise him.
"Damn, bro, you're getting more and more cunning."
"Next time, use 'wise,' okay? 'Cunning' suits me better."
"Brother, wise people are always face-to-face, you're just being cunning."
"Bullshit, I call this wisdom. Use your brain, okay?"
After speaking with Xiaohu, Ye Cheng asked Xiaohu to talk to Duan Chunsheng about going out to sea together tomorrow and to prepare the things needed for tomorrow.
...
As for Chen Houda, he was beaten and couldn't swallow his anger, but he didn't dare to go to Ye Cheng himself, so he could only go to Chen Jinhai.
"What? You got hit by Han Xiaotao?" Chen Jinhai was shocked.
Seeing Chen Jinhai's surprised expression, Chen Houda felt a little embarrassed.
"It wasn't just Han Xiaotao alone; it was Ye Cheng and Wang Xiaohu who held me down. Otherwise, how could Han Xiaotao have hit me?"
After finishing his sentence, Chen Houda looked at Chen Jinhai and said with resentment,
“Jin Hai, you are both the village chief and the clan chief. This matter must be explained. I cannot let myself be beaten for nothing.”
Chen Jinhai remained silent, thinking to himself, "You all call me village chief now, damn it, but when something goes wrong I'm the one to take the blame. Whoever wants to be this damn village chief can be."
He vividly remembered the time when Chen Houda and his men came to his door demanding to sell his boat. No matter how he tried to reason with him, they forced him to sell it.
Now look what happened, all that money wasted.
If you need something, call the village chief; otherwise, call Chen Jinhai, right?
Will I care?
dream.
Chen Jinhai pondered for a moment, then said,
"Uncle, to be honest, you were the one who went to their door to beat them up first, and they came back to beat you up. That's only fair, isn't it?"
"What do you mean by reasonable? She's a woman, she doesn't behave like a proper wife, and she even brought people to beat me up. Is that reasonable?" Chen Houda could hardly believe that Chen Jinhai would say such a thing.
"That's not how it works. Her husband is already dead, so what's the point of talking about womanly virtues? This isn't the old society anymore, where they still have to resort to things like drowning pigs in cages."
