Is this a popular figure? If he were a well-behaved and beloved academic star, that would be one thing, but this is definitely a delinquent and bullying school bully!
Han Fei's face turned black.
"Hi! Grandpa!"
Han Chengshan saw him and gave him a nonchalant greeting.
"Setting up a stall? How about a candied hawthorn?"
Han Fei slapped away the hand that the third brother reached out to ask for candied hawthorns.
Remembering the story about the third son in the book, Han Fei held back and did not punish the brat.
This is a troublemaker; he needs to be properly taught. Hitting him won't do any good; it will only make him more rebellious.
The child was adopted by a couple from Southeast Asia. When he arrived at his new school, someone called him a "sick man of East Asia" and then shoved his head into the toilet bowl, almost killing him.
The couple was called to the school by the teachers and beat him up in front of everyone, which humiliated him. The next day, they went even further and beat the boy who had dared to tattle on them until his head was swollen and broke his leg.
The couple thought the child was too vicious and were afraid that he would be unfilial if they raised him. So they tricked the child into thinking they were going on a road trip, but ended up abandoning the child in a deserted area.
The youngest brother embarked on a life of wandering, never intending to go back to the couple. Instead, he chose to rob passing drivers, hoping to steal enough money for a plane ticket back to China to find his older brother and the others.
But before he could save enough money, he encountered a powerful enemy, was captured, and taken to a dark and gloomy place to be trained, turning him into a cold-blooded killer.
The third brother received a mission to kill a popular movie star. After completing the mission, he discovered that he had actually killed the fifth brother. He was heartbroken and, unable to harm himself, could only kill his employer to alleviate his guilt and sorrow.
He was being hunted by an assassin organization and was rescued by the female lead while seriously injured... After that, he seemed to have his intelligence lowered and turned into a love-struck idiot.
He removed his kidney and eyes for the female lead, leaving him physically and mentally disabled. It wasn't until the eldest brother found him that the youngest brother regained some of his senses, but he would "relapse" whenever it came to anything related to the female lead!
Han Chengshan made a face and lowered his voice: "Grandpa, these are all my younger brothers. Can you give them some face?"
"Get lost," Han Fei said coldly.
Han Chengshan touched his nose: "Alright, alright."
Han Chengshan called his men to leave.
"Brother Shan, that old man isn't giving you any face. Let's report his stall for being shady!"
"Yes, they are old men who collect garbage. Their things are dirty to begin with, so they should be reported!"
"Brother Shan, why do you look so angry? Are you upset?"
Han Chengshan asked grimly, "Who told you they were old men who collect garbage?"
"Huh? Do I have to tell them that? Aren't they always collecting scraps near our school?"
"Brother Shan, have you forgotten? Once we were drinking beverages, and one of the old men came over asking for the empty bottle. You yelled at him and drove him away."
Han Chengshan was taken aback, then lowered his voice and asked, "Which one? The tall one or the short one?"
Oh no, this is incredibly unfilial! Has he ever insulted his own grandfather before? How come he doesn't remember?
"It's the short old man."
"Oh, that's good." Han Chengshan breathed a sigh of relief, at least he hadn't scolded his own grandfather.
Han Fei and Old Man Xu didn't sell a single candied hawthorn all morning.
As Old Xu was packing up his stall, he suddenly slapped his forehead: "I remember now, I've seen your third grandson before."
Han Fei paused in his tidying up, then continued working.
Seeing Han Fei's dark face, Old Xu chuckled and deliberately added fuel to the fire: "Before the holidays, some kids who hate school will throw away their books. I used to pick up trash around here, hoping to find a lot of books. I happened to see your third grandson with a bunch of kids drinking soda. Some of the kids finished, so I went to collect the bottles. Your third grandson was almost done drinking, and when I asked him for the bottle, he yelled at me. Such a young age, yet he swears so fluently and filthily."
Han Fei stopped what he was doing and stared at him intently: "Trying to stir up trouble, huh?"
When his lie was exposed, Old Man Xu laughed awkwardly, "I was just telling you the truth, even though I had a little selfish motive. After all, he insulted me back then, and I was thinking that if you went back and taught him a lesson, it would be a way for me to get revenge."
"Since you've been so frank, I'll be frank with you too. The kid didn't finish his drink, and you thought he was easy to bully because he's a child, so you shamelessly went up to him for the bottle. You deserved to be scolded. But if it were an adult, would you dare to go up and ask for it?"
Old Xu's face flushed red: "Yes, I was shameless in this matter, but that kid really swore so filthyly, he even cursed my ancestors for eighteen generations."
Han Fei: "..."
Old Xu sighed, "He even called me a despicable old man who steals widows' underwear and hides it under his pillow."
Han Fei: "..."
Old Xu sighed, "He even called me a stinking old man who carries manure."
Han Fei: "..."
Old Xu sighed: "And some even called me stupid... stupid... stupid... stupid..."
Han Fei coughed lightly: "The insults were quite vulgar."
"That's right, you really need to discipline him. It's lucky he met me; if it were someone else, I would have beaten him to death. Children won't amount to anything without being disciplined; a beating makes a filial son..."
Han Fei listened with one ear and let it go with the other. This tactic had to be tailored to the individual; it wasn't suitable for his seven grandchildren, who were like the Calabash Brothers. They were all destined to become villainous bosses, with rebellious natures. If he hit them too hard, no one could predict what they might do, so he couldn't take the risk.
“He has his good points too, after all, you were the one who made the mistake first. Let’s not talk about it anymore, what’s past is past. Besides, the fact that he didn’t recognize you means that the child has long forgotten about scolding you. There’s no need to bring it up again, and there’s no need to make things difficult for him over this.”
Old Xu was furious: "You...you won't stand up for your brothers! You're not loyal enough!"
Han Fei glanced at him sideways: "Are you going through menopause? Why are you arguing with a child? Right now, what we need to solve is the problem of these candied hawthorns not selling, not dwelling on those old, trivial matters. Let's go to another elementary school; maybe they won't recognize us."
Old Xu looked at the more than three hundred strings of candied hawthorns and his face fell: "In this area, who doesn't know that we are garbage collectors? Not to mention elementary school, middle school, high school, everyone knows me. It seems that I will never be able to sell them."
Han Fei's lips twitched: "You've shown your face at every school?"
"It's not just me, you're the same. Every time I go to collect books that students don't want, you're there too, and you even try to take them from me." Old Xu chuckled, "But you're not as fast as me!"
"Then let's go back. If we can't sell them, we won't."
Since it was a business with no initial investment and no losses, Han Fei wasn't discouraged, as he had never expected it to be such a huge success. Old Xu, on the other hand, was very disappointed, because he had high hopes for the business and always believed that the exclusive flat hawthorn would sell like hotcakes.
"Since you can't sell them anyway, take a lot to deliver." Han Fei couldn't bear to see the old man on the verge of tears, so he gave him a large handful of candied hawthorns, his words carrying a deeper meaning.
Old Xu remembered that he was going to pretend to be an old deliveryman to deliver candied hawthorns to his son and daughter-in-law. He immediately turned from sadness to joy and happily accepted the candied hawthorns: "These candied hawthorns are also made by me. My son has never eaten anything I made before!"
Just as they were about to leave, the school gate opened. Some children went home for lunch, so this was considered free time for the children to come and go from school.
"Don't go!"
"Grandpas who sell candied hawthorns, don't go!"
I want candied hawthorn berries!
How much does a candied hawthorn skewer cost?
"I want one too!"
"I want one too!"
"I want one too!"...
Han Fei and Old Man Xu were surrounded by a group of children who rushed out of the school gate.
