Chapter 66: Silly Zhu Beats Xu Damao

"Damn bitch, how dare you reject me. Just wait until I get you into bed, and you'll see how I deal with you."

Xu Damao was extremely frustrated today. As an experienced master of romance, Xu Damao always prided himself on moving through a myriad of blossoms without a single petal sticking to him, but today he had failed. This failure made him harbor a deep resentment toward Ding Qiunan.

In a foul mood, Xu Damao drank quite a bit outside, and upon returning to the courtyard, he began to throw a drunken tantrum right outside Silly Zhuz's door.

"Silly Zhu, your Grandpa Damao is getting married soon, and you, eunuch, can only sit there and envy me, hahahahaha."

The word "eunuch" was the last thing Silly Zhu wanted to hear right now. He flung his door open and lunged straight at Xu Damao.

"Silly Mao, I'm going to beat you to death today!"

Seeing Silly Zhu charge toward him, the drunken Xu Damao sobered up quite a bit.

"Silly Zhu, if you hit me, I'll call the police!"

But Silly Zhu was seeing red by now and landed a heavy punch squarely on Xu Damao's right eye.

"Ouch!"

Xu Damao let out a cry of pain, hastily covering his injured eye with his hand.

Silly Zhu did not stop there; he followed up with another punch, directly giving Xu Damao a pair of panda eyes.

"Help! Help! Silly Zhu is committing murder!"

Xu Damao tried to flee and started screaming for help.

However, a furious Silly Zhu was much faster. He grabbed Xu Damao by the collar, hoisted him right off the ground, slammed him against the wall, and began hammering punches into his stomach.

"Ouch, ouch, help! Murder!"

The moment they heard Xu Damao's cries for help, Yi Zhonghai and the others rushed over to watch. Seeing Silly Zhu beating Xu Damao, not a single person in the crowd stepped forward to stop it; they simply stood there and watched quietly.

Just then, Wang Lin returned with Ding Qiunan. As soon as they entered, they saw Silly Zhu beating Xu Damao. This frightened Ding Qiunan a little, making her feel that this courtyard was truly terrifying, and she subconsciously hid behind Wang Lin.

Wang Lin signaled Ding Qiunan not to be afraid, frowned, walked over to Silly Zhu, and grabbed the hand that Silly Zhu was about to use to hit Xu Damao again.

"Enough. Do you actually intend to kill Xu Damao?"

Gripped by the wrist, Silly Zhu calmed down quite a bit. He glared fiercely at Xu Damao, spat on him with utter disdain, and said,

"Useless trash, don't let me see you again, or I'll beat you every single time I lay eyes on you."

With that, he delivered a vicious kick straight to Xu Damao's groin.

"Ah!"

The kick made Xu Damao curl up into a ball instantly, clutching his most sensitive area as cold sweat poured down his face.

Wang Lin glanced at Xu Damao, then at Silly Zhu, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Xu Damao's prized possession belonged to Silly Zhu in a way; if it were truly ruined by Silly Zhu, he wondered if Silly Zhu would ever be able to recover himself.

Thinking about how both Silly Zhu and Xu Damao would end up without offspring in the future, Wang Lin couldn't help smiling.

Curled up like a ball and rolling on the ground, Xu Damao caught sight of Ding Qiunan. Upon seeing her, Xu Damao seemed to forget his pain entirely, leaving room in his heart only for burning hatred.

"Damn Ding Qiunan, you reject a fine unmarried young man like me and insist on sticking with that Wang Lin. Just you wait, I'll get you eventually."

As Wang Lin brought Ding Qiunan home, he immediately sensed a cold, sinister gaze. This gaze came from Liu Yishou's room.

However, Liu Yishou had not yet figured out Wang Lin's background and didn't dare to make a move against him. After glaring for a moment, he went back inside to cook.

Soon, the rich aroma of braised pork wafted through the entire courtyard. Catching the scent, Qin Min scurried into Liu Yishou's room, accompanied by Mrs. Jia.

Mrs. Jia was holding the Jia family's ancestral giant porcelain bowl and spoke with a sense of absolute entitlement.

"Liu Yishou, you're cooking braised pork, right? Scoop a bowl out for your Auntie Jia here."

As she spoke, Mrs. Jia marched straight into Liu Yishou's room, intending to serve herself.

Seeing this, Liu Yishou's gaze turned icy cold. He delivered a swift kick to Mrs. Jia's stomach, sending her flying straight out the door.

As she flew backward, the giant porcelain bowl in Mrs. Jia's hand smashed onto the ground and shattered completely, prompting Mrs. Jia to wail in agony.

"Ouch! I'm being beaten! Liu Yishou is beating people!"

Hearing Mrs. Jia's cries, Yi Zhonghai rushed to the scene immediately and began berating Liu Yishou right off the bat.

"Liu Yishou, how can you hit an elderly person? Do you have no respect for your elders?"

Seeing Yi Zhonghai arrive, Mrs. Jia cried even more hysterically, unleashing her ultimate skill: the Necromancer Summoning Spell.

Seeing Mrs. Jia cast her spell, Wang Lin, along with his wives and You Fengxia, grabbed some melon seeds and watched the spectacle unfold.

"Look, I didn't lie to you, did I? That Mrs. Jia is nothing more than a rogue."

Qin Huairu had witnessed Mrs. Jia's talent for throwing tantrums and rolling on the ground before, but she hadn't thought much of it initially. Now, however, she realized that Mrs. Jia seemed to treat throwing tantrums as second nature.

Yi Zhonghai and Mrs. Jia shot Wang Lin a vicious glare upon hearing his words, but neither of them dared to provoke Wang Lin right now, so they finally redirected their angry gazes back to Liu Yishou.

Liu Yishou dusted off his clothes, looked at Yi Zhonghai, and calmly replied,

"First Uncle, you've got it all wrong. This crazy woman broke into my house to rob me of my braised pork—that's armed burglary. Do you still think I was wrong to hit her?"

Yi Zhonghai immediately deployed his favorite philosophy.

"Putting aside the facts, hitting an elderly person is simply wrong."

Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Qin Huairu, Lou Xiaoe, Chen Xueru, and Ding Qiunan were left speechless with dark lines across their foreheads.

However, choosing not to meddle in affairs that didn't concern them, they simply stood by and watched quietly.

A cold smirk tugged at the corner of Liu Yishou's mouth as he calmly retorted,

"Since you're already choosing to disregard the facts, what is there left to discuss with me? Let's just call the police!"

Before Yi Zhonghai could speak, Yan Bugui stepped in to mediate.

"Yishou, we have a rule in our courtyard: matters within the courtyard are resolved within the courtyard. So let's forget about calling the police."

If Liu Yishou actually called the police, the authority of the three courtyard heads would diminish, and he wouldn't be able to freeload anymore.

Liu Haizhong looked at Wang Lin, wanting to gauge his opinion. Wang Lin signaled that Liu Haizhong could do as he pleased; as for the courtyard's affairs, as long as nobody bothered him, he was simply there to watch the show.

Seeing that Wang Lin didn't care, Liu Haizhong decided to act according to his own wishes.

"I think calling the police is the best course of action. After all, the few of us courtyard heads only have the authority to mediate neighborly disputes; we have no other legal powers. If we stop Liu Yishou from calling the police, that would be breaking the law."

Since Liu Haizhong was already a factory official now, he cared far less about the position of courtyard head.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui never expected Liu Haizhong to stab them in the back, making their expressions turn terribly dark. Yet, they knew that everything Liu Haizhong said was true.

Liu Yishou looked at Liu Haizhong in surprise. At first, he assumed all three courtyard heads would try to stop him from calling the police, and he never imagined Liu Haizhong would stand on his side.

"Liu Haizhong, do you even know what you're saying?"

Yi Zhonghai demanded angrily, glaring at Liu Haizhong with eyes that wished he could kill him.

Liu Haizhong let out a disdainful chuckle.

"I'm just speaking the truth, unlike certain people who always like to disregard the facts."
