CHAPTER 127: CHAPTER 127: TAKE YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF

Zhang Shuncai didn’t believe for a moment that Luo Er’s family did that thing. Even if they admitted it themselves, he wouldn’t believe it. A bunch of cripples, if they could pull off something like that without anyone knowing, that would truly be something supernatural!

What he’s saying now is just to throw a dirty basin over Luo Er’s family. If he doesn’t splash them with manure, how can he ask for compensation?

Seeing Mrs. Qin’s weakening demeanor, he thought he had scared the old hag, smirking to himself. No matter how tough you are, you’re just a woman. Seeing the axe in my hand and the brothers by my side, you wouldn’t dare not to be intimidated.

"This matter definitely has something to do with their family!" Zhang Shungui sneered, glaring fiercely.

The first and second sons of the Ba Wang Zhang family were notorious ruffians. When they were young, they led a gang causing trouble. The two of them were born with a bandit air, different from the third and fourth. Even though they have family now, they still have a menacing look!

The third Zhang Shunfu was slightly chubby, stronger and taller than his brothers, but his face wasn’t tough, rather just layers of fat. If you ignored the crafty shine in his eyes, you’d think he was an honest man.

The second and third were the brains, one giving bad advice, the other wicked ideas.

"They’re definitely involved, mainly because the young widow seems to bring misfortune to us. Now she brings it to us, later it’ll be to the neighbors. We’re just ridding the village of a pest!" Zhang Shunfu emphasized.

Nobody around would engage in conversation. The widow may be unlucky, but she wouldn’t harm other families! It’s clear they’re just looking for an excuse to cause trouble, everyone knows it but who dares to speak out?

The three big men stood there, carrying their tools, scaring the timid ones into staying inside.

Mrs. Qin’s hand holding the kitchen knife trembled. She’s straightforward but not dumb; she could tell they were looking for trouble. After the last incident, she realized they knew her family’s situation had improved, so they were here to extort money!

The fury in Mrs. Qin shook her, especially as they threw mud at Beisitian and bullied the Luo Family because no one was there to help. It made her want to swing the knife at them.

But she retained some sanity. If she acted first, they would have an excuse to retaliate and she’d lose all grounds for defense.

She had to hold out until Little Tian’er came back!

At this moment, Mrs. Qin hoped Beisitian would return quickly. As long as Beisitian was back, they’d surely find a way!

She hadn’t realized that both she and this family had come to rely heavily on Beisitian.

"You keep spouting nonsense, and I’ll fight you to the death!" Mrs. Qin pointed the kitchen knife at Zhang Shunfu, whose foul mouth never had anything good to say.

"Old hag, we’re not wasting our breath with you. Either pay for our previous losses, or today won’t end well. You’ve harmed my family, and if you can’t compensate, we’ll get our revenge!" Zhang Shuncai sneered.

The implication was clear: pay up or we’ll destroy your home; your choice.

This bandit-like behavior made Mrs. Qin shake like a sieve in anger, her body barring the doorway, raising the kitchen knife and declaring, "If you want to get into my home, it’ll be over my dead body!"

Zhang Shungui chuckled, thinking, who is this scaring! The village head isn’t around, thinking it’s like last time, huh!

Without a word, he stepped forward, grabbed Mrs. Qin’s wrist, twisted the kitchen knife out of her hand, and tied her hands behind her back.

Before Mrs. Qin knew it, she was being restrained by Zhang Shungui.

"We’re good comrades in socialism, we don’t commit murder and arson, we don’t need to step over your corpse to get in!" Zhang Shungui said with smugness all over his face.

Zhang Shuncai laughed heartily, and Zhang Shunfu grinned widely too, while those around showed indignation, thinking what kind of skill is it for a man to bully an old woman!

On the other side, Qin Hongmei and Old Mrs. Luo stood at the door, peeking out. Seeing the three men looking like bandits, they were scared stiff. Fortunately, Luo Aiguo wasn’t around, otherwise, with his stubbornness, he’d end up in trouble!

Luo Xuqiang initially wanted to come out, but was locked inside by Qin Hongmei. With so many men over there, she only had this one son; if he went out, he’d be beaten to death!

Moreover, why should her son stand up for someone else’s family, they’ve already split from the family!

Luo Xuqiang stood inside the house, looking at the three fierce men, feeling scared and timid. If not for fear, he would’ve gone out; not even Qin Hongmei could stop him.

Luo Xuqiang sat down and got up again, a conflicted look on his face, struggling inside.

"After all, those three are men, they shouldn’t harm Second Aunt and them." Bai Jinfeng whispered, fearing her man would be beaten half to death, ruining their lives!

Outside, Qin Hongmei and Old Mrs. Luo were afraid of being implicated and didn’t dare get close to the outside, staying glued to the door. At any sign of trouble, they’d retreat immediately!

Mrs. Qin had her arms bound. When Luo Anping saw this, his eyes turned blood-red. He grabbed the broom used for sweeping the yard and charged forward.

"Let go of my mom! You beasts!" Luo Anping shouted furiously.

Zhang Shuncai saw a small figure rushing past his house and reached out, grabbing Luo Anping by the collar, strangling him to the point of rolling his eyes!

"Little punk, not fully grown yet, but quite fierce!" Zhang Shuncai mocked, holding him by the collar.

Luo Anping staggered back a few steps, catching his breath, his face pale, eyes glaring fiercely at Zhang Shuncai.

"You dare glare at me again? Do you believe I’ll gouge your eyes out!" Zhang Shuncai barked maliciously.

Luo Anping wasn’t cowed. Seeing his own mother humiliated, he’d lost all reason, desperate to take a bite out of Zhang Shuncai and Zhang Shungui.

As the scene heated up, Zhuangzhuang suddenly howled loudly, followed by a few more barks. Then it pounced and bit Zhang Shuncai’s hand!

Zhang Shuncai yelped in pain, letting go, allowing Luo Anping and Zhuangzhuang to retreat.

"If I don’t roast you today, then my last name’s not Zhang!" Zhang Shuncai spat, seeing his bloodied hand.

Luo Anping wanted to rush forward again, but Zhuangzhuang suddenly barked softly, its tail wagging quickly.

Hearing its sound, Luo Anping paused, looking around, seeing Beisitian already behind Zhang Shungui!

"Sister!"

Seeing Beisitian, Luo Anping felt a boulder lift off his heart. The immense grievance he held seemed to find support, almost making him cry if not for Beisitian’s usual advice that men don’t cry easily.

Zhang Shungui followed Luo Anping’s gaze and turned around, seeing the young widow much shorter than him, her face as cold as frost with a hand suddenly resting on his shoulder.

"Release your filthy hand!"

Her voice was as cold as ice, and Zhang Shungui couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart, followed by a burning pain on his shoulder.
