Liu Xiufen was at the end of her rope.
She had lost a tremendous amount of face today, but who would be foolish enough to turn down free money? It was free, after all.
She immediately shot Chen Qing a look.
Chen Qing looked annoyed, but he had no other choice. He walked over to Fang Yun. The sight of her fair, delicate hands immediately brought a greedy glint to his eyes.
He couldn't control himself. While taking the money, he deliberately groped Fang Yun's hand.
"So soft..."
"I can only imagine how good it would feel to have these little hands taking care of me."
"Fang Yun, how about this? Consider the money a gift from me. Why don't you come spend a few days with me?"
Fang Yun's expression soured instantly. Behind her, Chen Erbao's eyes flashed red with rage.
"You bastard!"
He lunged at Chen Qing, grabbing a handful of his hair and yanking it down forcefully.
Chen Qing's body had long been hollowed out by booze and women. Besides, he was already injured. There was no way he could withstand Chen Erbao's strength, and his upper body was immediately yanked down.
Chen Erbao drove his knee up.
CRUNCH!
The impact shattered Chen Qing's nose, and blood gushed out.
Chen Erbao didn't stop, cursing as he beat him. "You bastard! Even now, you still have the fucking nerve to harass my sister-in-law!"
"I'll fucking kill you!"
Chen Erbao's eyes were bloodshot. He was genuinely pushed past his limit by that animal, Chen Qing.
Seeing that Chen Erbao was about to beat Chen Qing to death, Fang Yun quickly cried out, "Er Bao, stop!"
At that moment, Liu Xiufen snapped out of it and screamed, "Murder!"
"That animal Chen Erbao is trying to commit murder!"
"Somebody help me!"
The sound of hurried footsteps followed, and then Chen Qing's whole clan of aunts and cousins came running over.
They were there to back up Liu Xiufen in the first place, so when they saw the scene, they flew into a rage.
Liu Xiufen yelled, "Get him, all of you!"
"That bastard Chen Erbao has gone too far!"
"Break his arms and legs! Let's see if he ever dares to touch our Qing again!"
The group immediately rolled up their sleeves and charged straight for Chen Erbao.
The onlookers couldn't stand to watch any longer.
Liu Xiufen's family had been relentlessly pushing them, and then Chen Qing had to go and get handsy. It was perfectly reasonable for Chen Erbao to retaliate. But rather than trying to solve the problem, Liu Xiufen's family was just trying to escalate the conflict.
The villagers could all see it too. Chen Erbao was definitely angry, but his anger had its limits. He wasn't really trying to kill Chen Qing; at most, he was just teaching the animal a lesson he wouldn't forget.
But Liu Xiufen's family? They genuinely seemed to be aiming to cripple Chen Erbao for life.
'Chen Qing's family has always used their numbers to bully everyone in the village.'
'Never mind all the ways they used to bully Er Bao and his family before. Now they're actually trying to cripple him.'
'They have no intention of resolving this peacefully.'
'They're just bullying Er Bao's family because they think they have no one to back them up!'
"Who says they have no one? We're his family."
"Let's stop them, all of us!"
The villagers were about to charge in, but they were a step too slow.
Chen Qing's mob of relatives had already surrounded Chen Erbao.
But not only was there no trace of panic on Chen Erbao's face, he was even sneering.
After cultivating the Joyful Technique, he was no longer an ordinary person.
His combat strength had multiplied, and he'd been eager to test just how strong he'd become.
'This group of people... they've come at the perfect time.'
Chen Erbao rolled up his sleeves.
"Everyone, stay back."
"This bunch of losers is no match for me!"
The surrounding villagers were dumbfounded.
'There must be seventeen or eighteen people here. Can Chen Erbao really handle that many all by himself?'
Fang Yun said hurriedly, "Er Bao, don't be reckless."
But whether he was being reckless or not, it was too late. The crowd was already attacking.
First, he sent a flying kick into the loudest of Chen Qing's relatives, knocking him down. Then, he grabbed the man's ankle and, with one hand, effortlessly swung him into the air.
"Ever heard of the human windmill?"
"Now, you get to see it firsthand!"
Chen Erbao's strength was terrifying. He really did swing that relative around and around like a club. Anyone nearby who couldn't dodge in time cried out in pain. They had rushed in fast, but they flew out even faster.
In just a few tens of seconds, all of Chen Qing's relatives were lying on the ground, screaming and groaning. Chen Erbao, on the other hand, wasn't just uninjured—he didn't even have a speck of dust on him.
Everyone present was stunned silent.
'What the hell was that?'
'He's a monster.'
'That was more than a dozen people, and he took them all down in the blink of an eye?'
'Just how strong is he?'
The crowd was in absolute shock, and Chen Qing and Liu Xiufen wore the exact same expression. Both were too stunned to speak.
Chen Erbao walked up to the pair and swung his hand, delivering a hard slap.
"Get lost!"
Liu Xiufen's cheek swelled up instantly. The searing pain made her furious, but for some reason, the sight of Chen Erbao made her heart pound with fear.
"You... you just wait! You just wait!"
After spitting out the threat, Liu Xiufen didn't hesitate for a second. She turned and fled, leaving Chen Qing behind.
Chen Qing snapped back to reality. Fearing he'd suffer another brutal beating from Chen Erbao if he was a second too late, he scrambled to his feet, yelling as he ran, "Mom, wait for me! Wait for me!"
One chasing the other, they disappeared from view in moments.
The surrounding crowd burst into discussion.
"Way to go, Er Bao!"
"People like Liu Xiufen and her family deserve a good thrashing!"
"It's so strange when you think about it. Er Bao is handsome and a great guy. I really don't know what Liu Xiufen was thinking, chasing him away with that ridiculous bride price."
"You haven't heard? Liu Xiufen somehow managed to set up Chen Jiaqi with Wang Dazhu from town. That 880,000 bride price? It's from him."
"What? Wang Dazhu? You mean that two-hundred-something-pound one-eyed guy?"
"That's the one."
"Holy shit, has Liu Xiufen lost her mind? Turning down a handsome son-in-law like Er Bao for a two-hundred-something-pound one-eyed man? It's obvious she was only after his money."
As the people chattered, Chen Jiaqi, hiding in a corner, saw everything clearly.
At first, she didn't think much of it. But then she recalled the graceful power Chen Erbao displayed just now and compared it to Wang Dazhu's piggish, oafish appearance. A wave of resentment instantly washed over her.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she stormed off toward home.
By this time, Liu Xiufen and Chen Qing had already made it home, hearing plenty of whispered gossip along the way.
"Mom, I can't believe that bastard Chen Erbao is so damn strong."
Liu Xiufen looked just as morose. She glared at Chen Qing. "What's there to be surprised about? Didn't you see him in action last time?"
"Why didn't you warn me sooner!"
Chen Qing was at a loss for words. He cleared his throat and said, "Mom, don't be angry. If worst comes to worst, I'll call a few of my friends from the streets. I refuse to believe we'll just let him push us around."
Liu Xiufen's interest was immediately piqued. "Yes! We have to teach him a good lesson!"
Just as she said that—
BANG BANG BANG.
The urgent knocking made them both jump out of their skins.
