"What's going on?"
Erhua stepped into the yard. Although the ground had been cleaned up, looking at the broken wood placed on the edge of the yard, he could probably imagine the scene at that time.
"Luo Zhen!" Erhua didn't see Luo Zhen and asked Xiao Ma, "Where's your master's wife?"
"Master, don't worry. We are here to protect Master's wife and Junior Sister. They can rest in their room."
“Master!”
Erhua was about to go into the house when Lao Niu blocked his way and knelt down.
"What are you doing?" Erhua was startled and reached out to help.
"Master, don't help him! It's all his fault!" Xiao Ma said angrily.
Erhua was stunned at first when he saw Xiaoma's reaction. After thinking about it, he bent down to help the old cow, but the old cow knelt stubbornly and refused to get up.
"Get up first and tell me what happened."
"I won't get up, Master. I'll just kneel down and speak."
"You...you get up first!"
"I don't!"
Xiao Ma stood by and jumped up and down, saying, "Master, don't pay attention to him. He's so embarrassed. It's all his fault that the house was smashed like this!
Yesterday afternoon, he went out to the street just fine, but he insisted on trying to act like a good guy and offended people. He didn't even consider who they were, didn't even consider his own worth, and even caused Master to suffer as well!"
After being scolded by the pony, the old cow shook its body twice and banged its head against the mud ground with two "clang clang" sounds. The pony was frightened by him and shut up.
"Tell me yourself, what exactly happened?" Erhua was still calm.
"Master, I was out on the street yesterday afternoon when I saw a few half-grown boys beating someone. When I got closer, I saw they were beating a little mermaid.
"Master, that child was only five or six years older than Xiaoxiao. Even though he was so young, his hair was pulled out and his face was covered with wounds. The oldest boy was holding a stone to hit her hand!"
Erhua patted him and signaled him to calm down. Obviously, the master's attitude made Lao Niu less excited.
"You haven't gotten to the point yet!" Xiao Ma rushed to say, "He tried to pull the boy, but he fell and hit his head on a rock. Blood was pouring out of the hole! Master, his father called for help, and when they saw our stuff, they immediately smashed it to pieces! Later I found out that his family also runs a furniture business.
You are just nosy. What does the little girl fish's business have to do with you? It's like a dog chasing a rat! "
Lao Niu did not talk back, but just endured the scolding from the first master.
"Alright, alright, Old Niu did nothing wrong. If I had just walked by, I wouldn't have just ignored it. How could I have just watched a five or six-year-old child get beaten like this?" Erhua frowned. "But, Old Niu, you were a bit too strong. You made the child's head bleed."
“Master…”
"Let's go and visit their children. We're all businessmen, so we shouldn't be so unreasonable."
As Erhua said this, he walked outside. Xiao Ma quickly followed him, taking Lao Niu with him.
"Where are you going?" Luo Zhen came out of the house.
"Let's go." Erhua turned around and carefully knocked Luo Zhen from head to toe.
"Don't look at me. I'm fine. They both protected us. I didn't let them resist at the time. It was just a few unfinished pieces of wood. People are the most important."
Erhua nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, you understand. Without you holding them down, they would definitely fight to the death."
"I have to put pressure on you now," said Luo Zhen.
"Why?" Erhua was confused. "I have no choice but to put an end to this trouble caused by this disciple."
Luo Zhen sat down and waved to Erhua. Her soft and fair hands waved twice in the air, and Erhua obeyed like a child.
He sat down next to Luo Zhen and listened to her slowly say, "This guy just smashed our things. Are you going there to settle the score now?"
"This..." Erhua was confused by the question. Yes, what on earth was he going to do?
He only thought about the misfortune that had befallen his family. He wanted to find the person who had committed the crime. What would he do after finding him? Should he ask for an apology? Should he ask for compensation?
So what if someone else’s child gets hit on the head?
Either I have to pay for the child's broken head, or they have to pay for the broken things. In any case, I can't let the apprentice feel that the master is cowardly and useless.
Erhua thought about it and was about to speak when Luo Zhen smiled and said, "Don't you feel that you can't lose face in front of your apprentice? You have to go this trip. At worst, we can each pay for our own losses."
Erhua opened his mouth wide, and his silly look made Luo Zhen laugh.
Oh my god, Luo Zhen is really the worm in my stomach!
"Yes, yes, yes!" He said three yeses in a row. "You got it all right. Well, I won't dare lie to your face again."
Luo Zhen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't go today. We don't know what kind of background that family has. If they are overbearing and unreasonable, you three will suffer in vain if you go.
If they are a reasonable family, most likely they are angry because their child had a broken head. After the anger subsides, they may come on their own. If they don't come in a couple of days, go back.
In this matter, the boy was at fault first, and we are right, but we cannot just sit there and suffer the consequences."
Erhua thought about it and felt that what Luo Zhen said made sense. Only a few pieces of wood were smashed at home, and no one was hurt, which meant that the other party was not a vicious person.
He thought about how he had just opened the door and was about to leave, which was really inconsiderate. His face turned red and he felt embarrassed.
"Luo Zhen..."
"Um?"
"You are so nice..." He reached out to grab the soft hand.
But she slapped it away: "My disciples are all here!"
"Where is it? Where is it?" Erhua looked around in a pretentious manner.
The pony reacted quickly and ran away: "No one, no one." The old cow was stunned and hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he was dragged away by him.
"Look, there's really no one here!" Erhua grabbed the pair of smooth hands. The owner of the hands struggled symbolically and immediately surrendered.
He looked outside again to make sure his father-in-law was not at home. His dark face flashed quickly in front of Luo Zhen and he gave her a sweet kiss.
Luo Zhen touched her face and blushed.
Just three days after this incident, just as Luo Zhen said, two strange men came to visit with a boy.
When Xiao Ma saw that one of them was the one who brought people to smash things that day, alarm bells immediately went off in his head.
Erhua remained calm, walked to the door and asked, "Who are you?"
One of the men said, "We are here today to apologize."
This attitude was unexpected, and Erhua couldn't help but look at the man.
He looked older than himself, not fat but with a bit of a belly, and was wearing an old suit.
The man behind him was younger, dressed more fashionably, and had his hair combed neatly. When he noticed Erhua was looking at him, his eyes immediately became full of vigilance.
"Master, it's him! He is the one who brought people to smash our things!" Xiao Ma shouted.
The "he" he was talking about was a young man.
