Xu the butcher and his two sons squatted in the corner, smelling the delicious aroma, while watching a group of people at the table wolfing down their food.
The four of them were swallowing hard, but then they touched their still-aching ribs and legs.
None of the four dared to act recklessly; Li Daxing's fighting prowess was terrifying.
When they start fighting, they go all out.
They were in so much pain. If Li Daxing hadn't held back, their legs would probably have been broken.
It's not that they don't want to resist, but no matter how much they resist, they have to obediently bow down and submit to power.
It really hurt.
Especially Xu the butcher's eldest son, whose arm was really broken, and he is still sweating profusely from the pain.
They didn't dare say anything, for fear that Li Daxing would hold a grudge against them again.
Butcher Xu was filled with regret. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would never have brought his three sons along. What had he done? He had walked right into a trap.
Not only were their own people beaten, but their own family members were also assaulted.
The work was also interrupted, and they even had to pay for it with flour, rice, and their own pork knuckle.
More importantly, we spent the whole afternoon working on the roof, letting them go directly up to the roof to repair their house.
The four of them, father and sons, had never done this kind of work before.
We can't not go now, or we'll break our legs.
They worked all day in this cold weather and got beaten up. Now they can't even eat, their stomachs are growling with hunger, and they have to squat down and watch others eat.
Good heavens, what kind of treatment is this?
But none of the four dared to utter a sound; who would dare to speak?
Li Daxing, that killer.
Who dares to mess with us?
Finally, seeing that the people at the table had eaten and drunk their fill, you could tell from their round bellies that they were all full.
After finishing her meal, Xiao Guai put down her bowl and chopsticks and jumped off the table.
Upon seeing this, Li Daxing hurriedly put down his own bowl and chopsticks.
He had been eating heartily, and although there wasn't much rice, there was plenty of braised pork hock and trotters in the pot, along with so many side dishes. He ate two large bowls, and now his belly was round.
They ate all the vegetables in that big pot, and even the soup was drunk clean by Li Daxing and Dabao.
Seeing that Xiao Guai was about to leave, Li Daxing hurriedly followed.
"Little sister, I'll go with you."
Butcher Xu had no idea what Li Daxing was up to.
He's clearly a good person, but he's incredibly ruthless when he hits himself. Yet here he's pretending to be crazy and stupid.
What's going on here? These days, they're still playing games with them.
But no matter what Li Daxing said, he didn't dare to speak. If he did, that bastard Li Daxing would start punching him.
He was in excruciating pain from the punch; he simply couldn't withstand Li Daxing's blow.
Xiao Guai nodded and walked directly in front of Xu the butcher and his three sons, scaring them so much that they pressed themselves tightly against the wall.
"Alright, you can go back now. Our house can't accommodate all four of you."
Remember, come over first thing tomorrow morning. Our yard wall needs to be rebuilt, and the roof also needs to be tidied up.
Today we only cleaned the main house; the two side rooms haven't been cleaned yet. We not only built the courtyard wall, but also plastered the walls inside the house.
"By the way, go up the mountain to chop firewood tomorrow, chop a lot of firewood, it's getting cold, we need to heat up this earthen bed. Do you hear me?"
With a mournful face, Butcher Xu had no choice but to explain.
"My...my eldest niece..."
But seeing the unfriendly look in Xiao Guai's eyes, he quickly changed his words.
"Grandma!"
Seeing that Xiaoguai did not refute, he continued speaking.
"Grandma, it's not that I don't want to come tomorrow."
I promised the Red Flag Brigade I'd slaughter a pig for them tomorrow, but the three brothers aren't going. Otherwise, I'll have them come and do it.
I'm going to slaughter a pig tomorrow.
Don't worry, I'll come over as soon as I'm done.
How could I dare say I wouldn't come?
Upon hearing about the pig slaughter, Xiao Guai immediately perked up.
"Okay, you should be able to bring back a pig's head and a pig's knuckle if you go to slaughter a pig."
"Then we'll be waiting for your braised pork knuckle tomorrow."
Xu the butcher almost slapped himself. Why did he have to talk so much?
Why do you have to tell people that you're slaughtering a pig yourself?
Well, now all the money he earned from slaughtering the pig will go to Li Daxing's family.
But there was nowhere to run, so he could only grit his teeth and say...
"Okay. I'll bring back a pig's head and a pig's knuckle tomorrow."
The father and his three sons left the courtyard and walked about two streets away.
The father and his three sons took off running.
After finally running back to their own home and closing the courtyard gate, they ran back into the house, and the four of them sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) to catch their breath.
"Dad, what should we do? We can't really go to work tomorrow, can we?"
The eldest son of the Xu family spoke up, saying that today had been a truly humiliating day, as he had been badly beaten by Li Daxing.
The eldest son of the Xu family suffered the most; his arm was broken, all because he had such a foul mouth.
"Aren't you going to do it?"
If you don't do it, where can you go?
"You can run away, but you can't hide. Li Daxing knows our area. Aren't you afraid he'll come looking for us in the middle of the night?"
Xu the butcher looked at his son's ramblings as if he were a fool.
These days, you can't just run away whenever you want. There's nowhere to settle down. Even if you want to take a train or a car, you need a letter of introduction from the village.
Upon hearing this, the eldest son of the Xu family looked crestfallen.
"Dad, should we go back to Grandma's house? This can't go on!"
Besides, we're not getting along with Li Daxing anymore. How are the three of us going to survive in the village? What will people think of us?
Old Master Xu still harbors a grudge. His arm was broken by Li Daxing, so he can't wait to get back at Li Daxing.
If he weren't lacking in fighting skills, he would have already started a fight with Li Daxing.
"You can only stay at your maternal grandmother's house for a day or two. Do you think you can live at your maternal grandmother's house for the rest of your life?"
What if Li Daxing really comes looking for us then?
He's so powerful, he could break your arm, and then break your leg too. Where would we run then?
Xu the butcher also wanted to run away, but he knew he couldn't run away from the monk or the temple, and he couldn't live outside forever.
"So, Dad, are we just going to be bullied and treated like dirt?"
Butcher Xu slapped him.
"So what if I bully you? It's better than losing an arm. I'm telling you, the three of you are going to work properly tomorrow."
I'm going to slaughter a pig. Let's keep them in check for a couple of days while your dad tries to find someone outside.
Upon hearing this, the three brothers perked up, as Xu the butcher knew those vagrants in society.
If they can't deal with Li Daxing, does that mean those other people can't deal with Li Daxing either?
After thinking about this, the three brothers nodded.
Meanwhile, Zhao Di was staying inside with her two younger sisters and Xiao Guai.
"Little darling, Xu the butcher is definitely not coming back to anything good. He's a notorious scoundrel in the village. He suffered such a big loss today, he'll definitely make up for it when he gets back."
Xiao Guai smiled and pointed to the house next door.
"With the two of them here, what are you afraid of? Just go to sleep quietly."
Seeing that Xiao Guai was so carefree, she washed her feet and went to bed, so Zhao Di could only take her sisters back. However, none of the three sisters slept that night.
