The Jia family in the Intermediate People's Court was quite lively.
At the dinner table, Jia Dongxu, for the first time ever, poured himself a full glass of wine.
"Mom, you have no idea, I almost knocked out that old bastard Yi Zhonghai today. It was so satisfying."
“He always bosses me around and orders me around, taking advantage of his status as my master. I’ve put up with all that, but he should at least teach me something. He’s an eighth-level fitter. If he had just taught me some real skills, I wouldn’t be stuck at level two now.”
After taking a sip of wine, Jia Dongxu continued to ramble on: "Look at Uncle Liu Haizhong in the backyard. He's a bit arrogant and has a bad temper, but he's genuinely dedicated to teaching his apprentices."
"Little Li from the factory, he didn't even become an apprentice as long as I did, but he's already at level three. I heard he's confident he can be promoted to level four in the upcoming assessment."
“Every time, Yi Zhonghai would tell me to master this and understand that thoroughly, but he wouldn’t teach me any real skills. He was afraid that if he taught his apprentice, he would starve to death, and he was afraid that once I had the skills, I would no longer be able to be manipulated by him.”
Hearing her eldest son's words, Jia Zhangshi was equally angry: "Yi Zhonghai has suffered a great loss today, and he was even beaten by you. These things are only for the two of us to talk about. Don't gloat when you're outside."
"Don't worry, Mom, I know all this. Our family still relies on the cornmeal that Yi Zhonghai provides every month."
"Does Yi Zhonghai think we don't know what he's thinking?"
Jia Zhangshi's face twitched. "Isn't he just trying to get you to support him in his old age? If he really teaches you something, how will he control you?"
"But today's show was really exciting. Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and these guys deserve to be beaten. If Wang Dabao had been beaten too, it would have been perfect."
Madam Jia was still holding a grudge against Wang Dabao for slapping her and extorting money from her a couple of days ago.
Three yuan is still money. It can buy a lot of good things. Maybe with these things, her precious grandson Bang Geng could grow a little taller. But it was all swindled away by that little bastard Wang Dabao. It's really heaven's fault. Why doesn't it strike him dead with lightning?
"Dongxu, no matter what, just agree to whatever Yi Zhonghai says during the meeting later. Our family is still counting on him."
"Don't worry, Mom, I know all that."
Qin Huairu held a locust flower in one arm and fed Xiao Dang cornmeal porridge with the other.
She had heard this kind of conversation countless times since she married into the family. The mother and son were always scheming against others because they thought they were clever, which made her heart turn bad.
She hadn't thought much of it before, but ever since she met Wang Dabao, Qin Huairu inexplicably developed a dislike for the two of them. Especially after seeing Jia Dongxu so frightened by Wang Dabao that he dared not move, she had been looking at Jia Dongxu with displeasure ever since she came back.
Although Wang Dabao is also bad, he is not as wicked as the mother and daughter in front of him!
......
After saying goodbye to Yan Bugui's family, Wang Dabao hummed a little tune as he went home.
I ate too much at lunch, so I still don't feel hungry.
However, he still lit the stove and made some rice porridge, which he ate with the leftover braised pork from lunch. He had to attend a general meeting later, and he couldn't stir up trouble without filling his stomach.
I brewed a pot of tea, lay down on the sofa, and lit a cigarette – this is the life I could ever have.
The only thing missing is a woman!
"Knock knock, is Uncle Dabao home?"
Wang Dabao jumped off the sofa with a start. It sounded like Yu Li's voice.
Why would she come here so late at night?
He opened the door and saw Yu Li looking at him with deep affection.
"Yu Li, what brings you here so late?"
Yu Li smiled and said, "My dad and the others don't want to let Liu Haizhong off easily, but they can't think of a way. They want to wait for you, Uncle Dabao, to finish your meal and come over to give them some ideas."
"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to get something and then we'll go."
Wang Dabao didn't give Yu Li a chance to enter the house. Who knew if this young wife would use the same bewitching trick she had at noon?
Yu Li looked disappointed; she had originally wanted to take the opportunity to spend some time with Wang Dabao.
"Let's go."
While Wang Dabao was in the kitchen, he took a small handful of tea leaves from the storeroom as a reward for the Yan family's valiant performance that day.
At this time, tea was a rare commodity for ordinary people, as it was classified as a second-class commodity and was very scarce in the market. It was only distributed in small quantities during the three major festivals.
The two walked towards the front yard, one after the other.
Just as I was about to step into the front yard after passing through the middle courtyard, I saw three figures walking towards me from the opposite side.
After undergoing a systemic transformation of his body, Wang Dabao's eyesight became far superior to that of ordinary people.
It turns out that Sha Zhu has returned from the hospital.
Wang Dabao quickened his pace, and taking advantage of the darkness, he blindly ran into it.
"Ouch, my goodness! Which bastard bumped into my arm? Can't he see where he's going?"
Sha Zhu took two steps back, his forehead already covered in cold sweat.
Wang Dabao pretended to be terrified: "Who the hell is walking around in this pitch black? Don't they have eyes?"
Seeing that it was Wang Dabao on the other side, Sha Zhu snorted coldly. He didn't have time to deal with Wang Dabao right now. He just wanted to hurry back and meet up with Uncle Yi and think of a way to get revenge on Xu Damao.
After all, even in his prime, he was no match for Wang Dabao, let alone now that he had a hand in a cast.
"Shazhu, what do you mean by this? I didn't do anything to you, did I? If you're angry, go find Xu Damao. What's the meaning of giving me this cold snort?"
"I can snort at whomever I want, it's none of your business."
Sha Zhu knew he was no match, but his spirit was in no way weak.
Two neighbors who had gone to the hospital with Sha Zhu quickly came over to persuade the two.
Wang Dabao took out cigarettes and offered them to the two men, lit one for himself, glanced at Sha Zhu with a teasing smile, and then walked towards Yan Bugui's house.
Sha Zhu snorted again, but then he saw Yu Li behind Wang Dabao.
"Yu Li?"
Where are you going?
Sha Zhu's attitude towards the pretty daughter-in-law of the Yan family was many times better than Wang Dabao's.
"Oh, Brother Zhu, you're back. My father-in-law just told me to ask Uncle Dabao to come to my house."
