When Master Duan came back, only Song Yuehua, Xiaoyu, Dabao and Xiaobao were left in the compound.
"Are they all gone?" Duan Yidao asked.
Song Yuehua said, "Master Yi is waiting for you in the school with warm wine."
Duan Yidao, "..."
"Would you like to eat a few mooncakes?" Song Yuehua asked.
There were still a lot of mooncakes left at home, but Duan Yidao didn't eat any of them.
"Give me a few so I can take them with me to drink." Duan Yidao said.
Xiaoyu made four mooncakes for him.
Duan Yidao had just arrived at the school gate with the mooncakes and was about to push the door open when he heard Erguotou running towards him, shouting.
"Master, Gou Wa Zi is about to be beaten to death by his old man, please save him."
"What's going on?" Duan Yidao withdrew his hand and hurriedly walked towards Erguotou.
On the way, Erguotou explained, "In order to please Wang Xiaoye's father, Gou Wa Zi stole the old man's pipe and bought cakes from Baihua Street..."
Hearing this, Duan Yidao stopped walking and said, "I have no right to interfere in this matter. He deserves to be beaten."
"Master, I heard that the old pipe has been passed down for three generations. I'm afraid that the old man will go crazy and beat Gouwazi to death. Master, Gouwazi is your disciple!" Erguotou was very anxious.
Duan Yidao said angrily, "Did I break the law of heaven? How did I end up bumping into you two bastards?"
"Master, Old Man Zhang is mad as hell. He won't listen to anyone. Only you can calm him down." Erguotou continued to persuade.
"I usually only teach you martial arts, but forget to teach you how to be a good person!"
After Duan Yidao finished speaking, he sighed heavily.
The Zhang family was in a state of chaos at this time.
The Mid-Autumn Festival finally comes, a day for family reunion.
The eldest and second sons took their wives back to their parents' home for lunch at noon. When the whole family gathered together in the evening, Old Zhang discovered that his pipe had been stolen by his youngest son.
It would be bad enough if he did something dishonest on a normal day, but he actually stole his pipe and sold it during the holidays. He was so angry that he could hardly breathe. He closed the door, picked up a rolling pin and started beating Gouwazi.
At first, the eldest and second brothers' families couldn't stand it either. Later, when they saw Gouwazi was beaten so badly that his face was bruised and bloody, they ran over to stop them.
"You are such a loser. You are already 17 years old, but you can't manage your family, you don't do your job, and you spend every day thinking about how to dig up my coffin. I might as well kill you today!"
Brother Zhang pulled Gou Wazi over and asked, "Gou Wazi, what did you do with the pipe you stole?"
The dog refused to speak.
If he told it now, Sister Xiao Ye would definitely be implicated, so he couldn't tell it even if he died.
"Don't stop me, let me beat this beast to death!" Old Zhang waved the rolling pin and hit it hard twice.
Brother Zhang was about to block it, but when he saw how thick the stick was, he immediately took a step back.
Not only did Gouwazi take two solid hits, he was also tripped by the second brother. He couldn't run away even if he wanted to. He was hit by two sticks and cried out in pain.
"Dad, let's calm down and interrogate Gou Wa thoroughly. Don't let him cause any big trouble and keep it from us." Brother Zhang was still rational.
"Isn't this a disaster? What other disasters are there?" Old Zhang was so angry that he felt dizzy. "Get out of my way. If you try to stop me, I'll beat you up too!"
"Old man!"
Duan Yidao shouted from the doorway.
Everyone looked over, and Gou Wazi crawled to Duan Yidao's feet, "Master..."
Duan Yidao walked towards Old Zhang, who was so angry that he felt dizzy, but when he saw the Master, he managed to calm down.
"Old man, you've beaten him and scolded him, but today is a festival after all. I'll take him away and ask him about it. I'm also responsible for not disciplining him well. What do you think?"
Duan Yidao spoke sincerely. Old Zhang took a look at his young son, whose eyes and face were swollen from being beaten, and his anger immediately dissipated.
The eldest brother of the Zhang family said, "Father, you can't really beat Gou Wa to death just for a pipe."
Old Zhang threw away the rolling pin and bowed to Duan Yidao, "Trouble you, Master!"
"You're welcome, old man." Duan Yidao replied.
Duan Yidao took the two men back to the school.
Gouwazi was ready to be taught a lesson by his master, but Duan Yidao only gave him and Erguotou a mooncake each.
"Today is a holiday, let's eat!" Duan Yidao said.
The two waited until the two had finished eating, Duan Yidao poured them a glass of water and asked, "Is that enough?"
The dog boy chuckled.
Duan Yidao took out another one, broke it in half, and gave half to each of them.
After eating the mooncakes and drinking the tea, Duan Yidao asked, "How much did you sell the pipe for?"
Gou Wa Zi knocked on the table and said incoherently, "500 Wen."
"It's worth some money." Duan Yidao took out one ounce of silver and put it on the table, saying, "Redeem the pipe tomorrow. This old man has had this for his whole life, and we can't just lose it like this."
"Master..." Gouwazi called out guiltily.
"It's settled now, Gouwazi, is this how you plan to live your life?" Duan Yidao asked.
Gouwazi doesn't want to do heavy or tiring work, and he doesn't have any skills, so he doesn't want to do this!
"If you keep doing this, no one will marry their daughter to you." Duan Yidao said, and then added, "Even the Wang family won't do that."
Gou Wazi immediately stood at attention, gritted his teeth and asked, "Master, how about you go to Dongshan..."
"I have no right to interfere in Dongshan's affairs," Duan Yidao said, dismissing his idea. "Think carefully about whether you really want to marry Wang Xiaoye. If the Wang family finds out about what happened today, you will never be able to marry into the Wang family again in your life."
