"Hey, you're here to buy fabric too? Last time, your Li Dafu had such a sharp tongue, he swindled Old Zhao out of a ten-yuan note. That's enough to buy so much fabric! What are you doing here again?"
The Li family's outburst at this time finally gave Aunt Lou a good opportunity to show her determination; her eyes shone brighter than the light bulbs in the production team!
The women, who were happily holding the cloth and chatting in twos and threes, couldn't help but stop and gather around to watch the excitement.
Aunt Lou's voice grew even louder, she strained with all her might to amplify the volume as she shouted into Zhao Youcai's yard, as if afraid they wouldn't hear her.
"I can't stand you bunch of dogs from the Li family. You have such foul mouths, always gossiping about this and that! You even yell about the old blind woman having a hole in her pants! We Zhao Family Village are so unlucky to have outsiders like you!"
The commotion outside was quite loud and quickly attracted Zhao Youcai's attention.
Inside the house, the trading of cloth was still in full swing. Zhao Youcai gestured to his quick-witted third son to help his fourth daughter-in-law, and then walked out the door with his hands behind his back.
Aunt Laba continued to curse with great force, her mouth firing off like a machine gun, spitting saliva everywhere. Across from her, Li Dafu's mother, wife, and brothers all turned ashen-faced.
It wasn't that they couldn't out-argue Auntie Laba, nor that they couldn't beat her. It was simply that Auntie Laba, that fierce old woman, was too tough to back down.
Not to mention Zhao Family Village, even if you look at all the villages nearby, you can't find anyone as good at having sons as Aunt Laba.
If they really dare to attack Aunt Baba, it won't take ten minutes for her eight sons to demolish Old Li's house.
Eight sons! That's one more than the seven Calabash Brothers!
In addition, Aunt Laba's husband was the only butcher in the surrounding villages. During festivals, the surrounding villages relied on him to slaughter pigs so they could have meat to eat.
If you can build a good relationship with Aunt Baba's family, even if you don't get a lot of meat, you can still get some offal, which is still a meat dish!
Li Dafu's mother felt incredibly aggrieved after being scolded by Aunt Lou.
She just couldn't understand it. What had gotten into Aunt Louba today? Why was she starting to curse and swear right away? She hadn't offended her at all.
He just didn't like Zhao Youcai, so he stood at Zhao Youcai's door and cursed a few times. What business was it of that old hag?
"What do you mean? I insulted you or your man and you jumped out in a panic!"
For some reason, Li Dafu's mother suddenly glared and slapped her thigh hard.
"I know! Zhao Youcai's wife has been dead for three years. Your husband is useless now that you've drained him dry. You slutty old woman couldn't stand the loneliness and hooked up with Zhao Youcai!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Lou's eyes instantly turned red.
He rolled up his sleeves and charged towards Li Dafu's mother, yelling as he went. In no time, he had scratched her face all over with bloody marks.
Zhao Youcai's lips twitched violently. He couldn't understand it no matter how hard he tried. This was the first time he had been involved in a scandal, and the person he was involved with was actually a genuine middle-aged or elderly man.
What does that mean?
Does he think Zhao Youcai is blind or stupid?
Although he has the body of a sixty-year-old man, he has a soul that is younger than his sons!
This is an insult to him!
Zhao Youcai couldn't take it anymore!
He raised his hand to join the battle, but after a few steps he retreated.
He rushed to the kitchen, grabbed a fire poker, and charged out again, striking the shoulders of the men from the Li family who had come to watch the commotion.
"You, Li Erfu! What promises did you and your elder brother make on the edge of the field last time? Is this what you meant by never cricketing against the Zhao family again, and instead taking your mother to confront them head-on?"
"You deserve to be beaten to death by this old man today, for all your foul mouths!"
That being said, Zhao Youcai still acted with restraint.
If you really wanted to kill someone, you would only hit them on the head with a fire poker, why bother hitting them on the shoulder?
He wanted to win people over with virtue, but the other party was too foul-mouthed.
They've come to our door to provoke us. How can a grown man like him just stand there and let them insult him at his doorstep without standing up for him? Wouldn't that be incredibly shameful?
Even if it's just for the sake of saving face, we have to teach them a lesson!
Seeing his sons rushing out with shovels and spades, Zhao Youcai quickly signaled to them to stand aside and watch.
This matter cannot escalate into a group fight. If it really comes to the point of a brawl, even if Zhao Youcai is in the right, he will be the one who is in the wrong.
Even if the captain brings the police, it's reasonable for him, a 60-year-old man who is the victim, to get angry and hit someone when an unreasonable shrew and her strong son are picking on him, right?
If Li Erfu dared to fight back, he would lie down on the ground and stage an accident to extort money.
He refused to believe that he, an old man, couldn't handle the brainless Chinese dunker!
Thinking about how he had taken that one-ten-yuan note out of his own pocket to give to a family like Old Li, Zhao Youcai felt extremely resentful.
Let's take this opportunity to get back the money we were swindled out of in a similar way! Even buying bones to feed the dogs is better than feeding this family of scoundrels!
Li Erfu had just raised his large, fan-like hand, still a little distance from Zhao Youcai's face, when Zhao Youcai immediately lay down on the ground, closed his eyes, and pretended to faint.
The eldest son, Zhao Jianguo, rushed out with a loud shout, and his eldest daughter-in-law, who was happily sewing clothes inside, hurriedly put down her work and rushed out as well.
"Dad! What's wrong, Dad! Dad, don't scare us!"
The fourth daughter-in-law took the lead and decided to sell the fabric there first. As for when to sell more fabric, that would depend on Zhao Youcai's situation.
