However, the disciple from the martial arts school had just said half of his words when he looked at Xia He and his pupils suddenly shrank, as if he recognized him.
Then, the arrogant and domineering expression on his face disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a look of astonishment and fear.
But his nephew took advantage of his power to bully others, and did not notice the change in the atmosphere at all. He continued to speak without restraint, swearing at all kinds of obscene words, and kept shouting and provoking Xiaowen.
However, the child's scolding stopped abruptly just in the middle of his words. There was only a muffled sound. It turned out that the martial arts disciple kicked the ignorant child to the ground without hesitation.
Not only that, he seemed to think that this was not enough to vent his anger, and quickly followed up with a hard slap in the face, causing the child to see stars and burst into tears.
He shouted angrily, "You ignorant little brat, why don't you apologize to Brother Xia right now!"
He walked towards Xia He at a brisk pace, with a flattering smile on his face. He clasped his hands together and bowed, introducing himself: "I am a disciple of the Spirit Snake Martial Arts School. The steward who came to visit me before is my master. He and our young master have often mentioned you in recent days."
Hearing the other party's words, Xia He couldn't help but frown slightly. After looking up and down at the person in front of him, he asked in a calm tone: "Oh? So you are from the Spirit Snake Martial Arts School."
Seeing Xia He asking the question, the man nodded hurriedly like a chick pecking at rice and then explained in fear and trepidation that it was his good-for-nothing nephew who didn't know the rules and offended Xia He, and he hoped to be forgiven.
After saying this, he mercilessly reached out and grabbed the child's buttocks, and beat him hard again, until the child cried bitterly and was heartbroken.
Watching the farce happening before his eyes, Xia He nodded expressionlessly.
"Haha, we are all family. Since they are just children playing around, let it go."
"But my nephew has been lonely since childhood and has a fragile mind. I'm afraid he can't stand being bullied by others."
Seeing Xia He relax, the martial arts disciple smiled as if he had been pardoned, and hurriedly took out five taels of silver from his pocket and handed it over.
"Brother Xia, if you don't mind, take this money and buy some meat for our nephew."
"oh."
Xia He took the money and then smiled.
"Thank you very much, Xiaowen, why don't you thank this uncle?"
"Okay, okay, you're so good."
The man looked at Xiaowen with great kindness and a friendly smile.
He had finally made it through the martial arts school, so he naturally knew what would happen if he offended the wrong person!
How could he afford to offend someone that the young master and his own master liked?
It was not until he left in disgrace with his nephew who almost fainted that the family recovered from the shock.
Li Huiying rushed over and hugged Xiaowen, looking obviously nervous.
"Don't worry, sis. It's okay."
Xia He comforted her with a few words.
Sister Li Huiying then raised her head with a look of surprise.
"You...you actually know someone from the martial arts school?"
Li Huiying asked in disbelief.
Everyone in the town knows that the people you should not mess with the most in this city are the disciples of the martial arts school.
They are even more powerful than the people in the government offices, and anyone who offends them will have a bad ending.
Thinking back to what had just happened, the more she thought about it, the more incredible it seemed to her.
When the people from the martial arts school faced Xia He just now, they were not only extremely friendly, but also revealed a hint of awe.
It was as if she was afraid of accidentally angering him. If this situation had happened a month ago, she would never have believed it even if she was beaten to death.
However, at this moment, the facts were right in front of her, and she had no choice but to believe it. This huge change was simply jaw-dropping.
At this moment, Li Huilan, the daughter-in-law who had been standing silently by the side, seemed much calmer than her sister's shock.
Because the people from the martial arts school had come to her house once before, she was somewhat prepared for today's situation.
However, she knew very well that the reason for this situation was that He Ge'er had real skills. Otherwise, with the temperament of those martial arts people, how could they be so respectful to him?
The status of military households in the Qin Dynasty was very high.
In just one month, their family was promoted from slaves to military households! He would never have dared to think of this before.
"Let's go in and eat first. Eating is important."
After several people entered the house, Li Huilan and Li Huiying hurried to the kitchen to prepare the meat, rice and flour that Xia He brought back.
Before long, the table was filled with delicious dishes that made people salivate.
Li Huiying was busy and did not forget to scold Xiaowen who was clinging to Xia He: "Xiaowen, don't eat so many sugar cakes! Otherwise, you won't be able to eat later!"
"Xiaohe, it's time to eat."
Since they were all family, Xia He naturally wouldn't be polite. He strode to the table and sat down, then began to wolf down the food without any restraint.
"It smells good. It smells really good."
"Wife, you and my sister are really good at cooking."
“I wonder who will be able to enjoy this blessing in the future?”
Li Huilan also echoed,
"Yes, sister, Xiaowen is grown up now, have you ever thought about finding another one?"
"I don't want to think about these things. I just want to raise Xiaowen."
Xiao Wen, who was chewing a pig's trotter with his mouth full of oil, shouted,
