Yan Bugui pulled his eldest son aside and gave him another long explanation.
Yi Zhonghai wasn't afraid of being hit by Yan Jiecheng; on the contrary, he hoped that Yan's fist would come down. As long as he could withstand it, the harder the blow, the better.
Not only could they avoid being whipped with a belt, but they could also use this as an excuse to avoid that scoundrel Yan Jiekuang.
Thirdly, he is no longer the big boss in charge, and he no longer has so many scruples. If he is attacked, he can turn around and bite back at the Yan family if things go well.
Upon realizing this, Yi Zhonghai immediately rushed to Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng's side and shouted, "Yan Bugui, you're supposed to be a teacher, yet you can't even educate your own sons properly, raising two beasts. One extorts money in public, and the other tries to beat people up without even asking questions. What kind of family is this? Is it a gang of thugs?!"
"Who are you calling an animal!"
Yan Bugui finally managed to calm his eldest son down, but Yi Zhonghai's words stirred things up again.
"I'm talking about you! What were you trying to do just now? I've been in this compound for so many years, and no one has ever grabbed my collar before." Yi Zhonghai glared at Yan Jiecheng. "What do you think you are, you little beast? You think you can lay a hand on me?"
"Okay, you've forgotten the beating you got last night, right? Then I'll help you remember."
As he spoke, Yan Jiecheng raised his fist to strike Yi Zhonghai.
Seeing that things were going badly, Yan Bugui quickly moved between the two men and took the punch head-on.
Yan Jiekuang's punch was no light one; it made Yan Bugui lie on the ground coughing for a long time before he could stand up. Yan Jiecheng kept patting his father lightly, while also glaring at Yi Zhonghai.
"Boss, don't be impulsive. Yi Zhonghai is deliberately provoking you. You must hold back and not ruin my important plans."
Yan Bugui whispered his instructions.
"Dad, are you alright?!"
Seeing that his elder brother had accidentally injured their father, Yan Jiekuang immediately jumped off the table and rushed over. After seeing that Yan Bugui was unharmed, he straightened up to face Yi Zhonghai, narrowed his small eyes, and angrily cursed, "Yi Zhonghai, you old dog, you really have a bad heart. You just wanted my elder brother to beat you up, didn't you? So you could extort money from our family?"
"Let me tell you something, you old fool. You've got it all figured out. From now on, I'll go to your doorstep every day after school and curse you, you old bastard! You old bastard, you'll die a horrible death!"
Yi Zhonghai felt like he had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat. If Yan Jiekuang cursed him a few more times, he would definitely spit it out.
With so many people in front of him, he really couldn't bring himself to lay a hand on Yan Jiekuang.
Moreover, Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng are still around, so if they fight, he will be the one who suffers.
But even if he were allowed to retaliate, it wouldn't work. He's such an old man, and he thinks he's built up some prestige in the community. What kind of person would he be, arguing with a kid? Regardless of whether he wins or loses, it's Yi Zhonghai who will be the one who loses face.
Who knows what people will think of him then? And it will probably be even harder for him to regain his position as the head steward!
Yi Zhonghai's face flushed red, experiencing the feeling of being caught in a dilemma.
Yan Jiekuang's cursing continued.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you old bastard. Everyone knows how many despicable things you've done over the years as the old man in this compound. You're the epitome of insidious and wicked. On the surface, you're all righteous and morally upright, but in reality, your heart is full of filthy thoughts!"
"On the surface, you haven't done anything for yourself, but in reality, you've been helping people close to you and taking advantage of honest residents."
"You're all talk and no action, but secretly you'd love to pull out all the dirty tricks in your head to deal with those who don't respect you. You make things difficult for others, and then you still try to make sure no one can say anything bad about you. You're really doing something immoral!"
"Let me tell you, Yi Zhonghai, God didn't even allow you to have children, so as to prevent your wicked thoughts from being passed down to your descendants!"
"Yan Jiekuang, say that again, you son of a bitch!"
Yi Zhonghai was so angry at Yan Jiekuang's words that he almost fainted. He really wanted to pick up the kid and tear his neck off, but he still had a sliver of reason left. If he beat the child in front of the neighbors, he could forget about staying in this compound in the future. But if he didn't vent his anger, he would feel terrible.
Yi Zhonghai looked around, then rushed to a nearby bench, grabbed it, and smashed it to the ground.
"Bang!!!"
The bench shattered upon impact, sending dust flying.
"Yan Bugui, if you don't take care of your little bastard, I, Yi Zhonghai, will fight your family to the death! We'll all perish together!" Yi Zhonghai roared, seemingly insane, determined to take the Yan family down with him.
No one expected Yi Zhonghai to react so strongly.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Anyone would be furious if they were accused of having no descendants, which is considered immoral and detrimental to their karma.
Seeing Yi Zhonghai's anger and embarrassment, Wang Dabao, Liu Haizhong, and Xu Damao hurriedly came over.
"Old Yi, what are you doing? Jie Kuang is still a child. How can you, at your age, argue with a child like him?"
Wang Dabao walked up to him with a smile and said, "Don't forget that you almost fainted last night because of him. It's normal for the child to have some resentment towards you now!"
"You used to be a manager, how come you have no magnanimity? Were you just pretending before?!"
Wang Dabao's words were meant to make Yi Zhonghai experience the taste of moral blackmail.
Sure enough, Yi Zhonghai was left gasping for breath, clutching his chest, after being rebuked by Wang Dabao's few words.
"Wang Dabao, you're no better than me! You're everywhere, why are you meddling in everything?" Yi Zhonghai roared angrily at Wang Dabao, baring his teeth. "Who do you think you are, lecturing me!"
