"mom."
A young man darted out from the backyard entrance and ran up to Jia Zhangshi, whose body was as large as a vat. "Mom, who beat you up like this? I'll kill him."
Wang Dabao glanced over and exclaimed, "Wow, isn't this the old woman's eldest son, Jia Dongxu? He hasn't ascended to immortality yet!"
It's okay if you haven't ascended yet; judging by the timeline, it should be soon.
We won't need to give you a single penny for the funeral.
As soon as Jia Zhangshi saw her son arrive, she immediately perked up, straightened her back, and pointed fiercely at Wang Dabao sitting on the threshold. "That's the little bastard. Son, don't fight with him. Just make him pay up."
"Your mother's."
Following the old woman's finger, Jia Dongxu saw Wang Dabao looking him up and down with a smile, seemingly provoking him. He immediately exploded, broke free from Jia Zhangshi's hand, and charged towards Wang Dabao.
Wang Dabao is 1.8 meters tall. After being tempered in the military, although he doesn't look particularly strong, his muscles are all real.
Then look at Jia Dongxu, he's about 1.7 meters tall and skinny.
The old woman was afraid her son would suffer, which is why she didn't let Jia Dongxu and Wang Dabao clash. However, she overlooked her eldest son's temperament.
Unsurprisingly.
Before Jia Dongxu could even get close, Wang Dabao kicked him back.
It rolled over to the side of the old woman, Jia Zhangshi.
Wang Dabao's kick was quite forceful, comparable to the kick he gave Sha Zhu back then. Jia Dongxu curled up on the ground like a shrimp, clutching his stomach and groaning.
Xu Damao stared wide-eyed at Wang Dabao's fighting prowess, which was comparable to his own and that of Sha Zhu from the Central Court.
"Son, son."
Jia Zhangshi jumped up and scrambled to Jia Dongxu's side, shouting, "You little rascal, you've killed someone! Everyone come quick! Help! Old Jia, come and take this little brat away!"
Just then, Banggeng ran into the backyard with a young woman.
"Mom, what's wrong with Dongxu?" The young woman hurriedly tried to help Jia Dongxu, who was rolling on the ground, up.
Wang Dabao was a little surprised; this young woman must be Qin Huairu, the tea master.
It seems I should take back my previous criticism of Sha Zhu. The young woman in front of me is voluptuous, with a foxy air about her. Her breasts are quite impressive, and her clothes can hardly cover them.
Looking at the back seat, it was like a millstone, which made Wang Dabao think to himself, "Wow, that's something else!"
Or... ugh, we shouldn't emulate Cao Cao's treacherous ways.
But I bet it was really awesome!
"Smack."
Old hag Jia Zhangshi slapped Qin Huairu across the face and pushed her away, saying, "You slut, Dongxu has been beaten up like this, why don't you go and call Lao Yi to come and uphold justice for our family?"
Qin Huairu got up, sobbing, and was about to go to the Intermediate People's Court to find Yi Zhonghai.
Just then, three figures ran over.
Arriving early is not as good as arriving at the right time. In front of him was a middle-aged man with a square face, who looked stern and upright. Behind him was a middle-aged fat man with a protruding belly, and finally, a skinny man with glasses who looked like a monkey.
It was the three old men from the compound.
"Sister-in-law, I just got home from get off work and I heard someone shouting in the backyard. What's wrong with Dongxu?"
Yi Zhonghai quickly ran over and, together with Qin Huairu, helped Jia Dongxu up.
Liu Haizhong, with his protruding belly, took two steps forward and glanced at Wang Dabao sitting on the threshold. He instinctively thought that this matter must be related to this newcomer.
Yan Bugui, with his bespectacled, small, beady eyes, gleamed with shrewdness as he subtly nodded toward Wang Dabao standing on the threshold.
"He's an old man, you have to stand up for Dongxu."
Jia Zhangshi plopped down on the ground and began to wail, her eyes, which seemed to want to kill someone, fixed on Wang Dabao standing on the threshold.
"This is that damned little beast. Not only did he knock out my son Banggeng's front tooth, but when I came to argue with him, he even hit me. Dongxu came over and before he could even say two words, this little beast started beating Dongxu to death."
"Grandpa, Old Jia passed away early. You can't let this newcomer bully us orphans and widows! Heavens above, Old Jia, please come up and take a look!"
After inquiring about Jia Dongxu's injuries, Yi Zhonghai looked at Wang Dabao, who had gotten up and was walking over.
"you......"
"My name is Wang Dabao."
"Okay, so it's Wang Dabao, right? Wang Zhen really has a good nephew."
Yi Zhonghai's anger flared up at this moment. Yesterday, Wang Dabao had swindled him out of twenty yuan, which was almost a week's salary. He was so heartbroken that he couldn't sleep well last night. And now, he had just gotten off work and encountered this kid bullying his precious apprentice. This was unacceptable.
If we don't educate them, they'll run wild in this compound.
With that thought in mind, Yi Zhonghai released Jia Dongxu and walked over to Wang Dabao: "Wang Dabao, the neighborhood committee notified me that a veteran has moved into the compound, but I didn't expect you to be so unruly. On your first day here, you've turned the compound upside down."
"As an elderly man in the courtyard..."
"Smack."
Before Yi Zhonghai could finish speaking, Wang Dabao slapped him hard across the face, causing Yi Zhonghai's head to snap to one side.
Yi Zhonghai was stunned.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, who were standing nearby, immediately had their minds go blank, recalling incredulously what had just happened.
Is an old man really that worthless?!
Big Mouth just attacks without warning?!
Old Lady Jia Zhangshi, Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu, and Banggeng stared wide-eyed at Wang Dabao in front of them, dumbfounded. How dare he do that!
This is Yi Zhonghai, the most respected old man in the compound!
He just got slapped across the face by Wang Dabao like that?
Xu Damao dropped the cigarette from his mouth to the ground, thinking to himself that this kid was ruthless enough, better than Sha Zhu, but things would be difficult to resolve.
Wang Dabao hadn't intended to use excessive force, but Yi Zhonghai's mention of Wang Zhen reminded him of what Uncle Zhang had said: Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong had probably bullied his uncle quite a bit.
Although he had no feelings for this uncle, the blood flowing in this body was the same as his uncle's.
Not to mention that he inherited so much from his deceased uncle, he should take something back for him. This slap today is one of them.
Seeing Yi Zhonghai being beaten, Liu Haizhong knew that he had to step in.
Otherwise, who will take the old men in the compound seriously in the future?
"Wang Dabao, do you even respect us old folks anymore...?"
"Smack!"
Wang Dabao slapped Liu Haizhong so hard he stumbled. If Yan Bugui hadn't caught him, he would have been sitting on the ground by now.
Having witnessed Yi Zhonghai get slapped before, Liu Haizhong reacted quickly this time, shaking off Yan Bugui's hand and throwing a punch at Wang Dabao.
He was furious at the moment and had long forgotten how Sha Zhu had been beaten yesterday.
Despite his age, Liu Haizhong's punch was incredibly powerful. After all, he was a blacksmith by trade and still had considerable strength.
