16: Chapter 16: Unaware of the Good Heart
Working at the slaughterhouse?
It’s a fitting profession, but how much could I earn from it?
As soone who’s destined to make a fortune, how could I be tempted by such a small offer?
Wu Xiaoyu said modestly, “It’s just a minor skill, nothing to earn a living from.”
The nearby butchers didn’t feel good hearing this.
They didn’t have such advanced skills and were still working in the slaughterhouse to make a living.
This young man’s skill at slaughtering cattle could be said to be divine, yet he claid he couldn’t make a living from it.
Didn’t that an they were even less qualified to work in the slaughterhouse?
The few butchers felt awkward for a mont.
Soone asked, “Young man, where did you learn such a skill?
Even we, who have been slaughtering pigs and cattle for years, are ashad of our skills compared to yours!”
Wu Xiaoyu retrieved his dicine basket, slung it over his back, and said, “This skill has been passed down in my family.
It’s a family rule that it only gets passed down to descendants, not to outsiders!”
The butchers were even more embarrassed upon hearing this.
They’re still mad at themselves for not recognizing soone with such formidable skill and for having said so many disparaging and mocking words.
Just as Wu Xiaoyu was about to leave, he suddenly heard the sound of police sirens wailing.
In no ti, two police cars pulled up in front of him.
From the cars erged five or six officers dressed in police uniforms, along with a big-bellied, fierce-looking bald man.
As soon as the bald man got out of the car, the butchers nearby gathered around him.
The vendors packing up their stalls also stood up, their eyes fixed on the bald man.
The bald man glanced at the dead cow on the ground, then smiled and said to the officer next to him, “Director Liu, you see, this cow has already been killed by our slaughterhouse workers.
It’s trouble for you to make a wasted trip.”
Director Liu didn’t mind and smiled, “It’s good that it’s been killed!
If there were any major injuries, our responsibilities would increase!” After speaking, he sent a few officers to inquire about the situation.
The butchers who gathered around stamred sheepishly, “Factory Director Wang, uh…
the mad cow wasn’t killed by us.
The young man over there took it down!”
Factory Director Wang looked in the direction they were pointing and saw a young man with a dicine basket on his back, holding two bloody knives.
He was quite surprised.
Could such a frail young man kill a mad cow?
Under the attentive gazes of the butchers, Factory Director Wang approached and said to Wu Xiaoyu, “Kid, what’s your na?”
Hearing him speak like this, Wu Xiaoyu was already displeased.
After all, they were eting for the first ti, and he was calling him “kid,” which was too dismissive.
With a ‘bang,’ Wu Xiaoyu stabbed the two knives into the chopping board of a nearby stall and said, “Baldy, what’s your na?”
Factory Director Wang, a significant figure in Longhe Town, wasn’t even addressed like this by the township governnt officials.
This small fry, in public, was challenging his authority?
“You little bastard!
How are you talking to ?
Damn it!
I thought to reward you with a al, but now it seems you’d be better off feeding the dogs!” Factory Director Wang cursed.
If Director Liu hadn’t been there, he would have struck Wu Xiaoyu directly.
The butchers, seeing their director angry, didn’t dare to speak, but internally, they were worried about Wu Xiaoyu.
Hearing himself called a ‘little bastard,’ Wu Xiaoyu was already burning with anger.
If he was only being insulted, he might have tolerated it.
But such a statent dragged his parents into it.
How could a hot-blooded young man endure that?
“Whose mom?” Wu Xiaoyu asked.
Factory Director Wang, not catching the trap, continued cursing, “Yours!
What?
You little brat, still want to rebel?”
The vendor at the nearby stall, a young man under thirty, understood the trick and stifled his laughter hearing Bald Factory Director Wang unwittingly accept a humiliating title.
Wu Xiaoyu patted Factory Director Wang’s shoulder and laughed, “Your mom’s mine?
You said it yourself!
You know how old you are, how old must your mom be?
You want to give her to…”
Bald Factory Director Wang realized he was being indirectly insulted.
As soone who ruled from the top position for years, soone many flattered, how could he tolerate being disrespected?
With eyes reddened and veins bulging on his neck, he swung his large fist toward Wu Xiaoyu’s face.
The onlookers’ eyes widened with concern for Wu Xiaoyu.
Such a punch would surely draw blood!
But contrary to everyone’s expectations, Wu Xiaoyu casually raised his hand and blocked Bald Factory Director Wang’s punch.
The crowd was astounded, finding it hard to believe what they were seeing, so even rubbed their eyes.
Bald Factory Director Wang, a burly, robust man, had his punch effortlessly blocked?
Impossible even he wondered if he had overexerted himself in recent days, making his punch weak.
He tried to retract his fist but found it firmly held.
Realizing he had t a formidable opponent, Bald Factory Director Wang understood this young man was not ordinary, likely trained in martial arts—a young man who had defeated a mad cow.
To fight back was as futile as smashing an egg against a rock.
Wu Xiaoyu then spoke, “How about it, Bald Factory Director Wang?
Any more?
If not, may I leave now?”
In a vulnerable position, Bald Factory Director Wang knew that if he said ‘No,’ his wrist would be twisted.
He quickly replied, “No more…
no more, you can go now!”
Wu Xiaoyu had helped them deal with the mad cow today.
Not being thanked was one thing, but being insulted?
A lesson was warranted.
He twisted Bald Factory Director Wang’s wrist more.
The second his wrist was released, Bald Factory Director Wang was hit by searing pain.
Though a seasoned ruffian, he could bear it, shouting to the butchers, “What are you standing around for?
Kill him for !”
Though butchers, they were not Bald Factory Director Wang’s cronies and refrained from bullying, pausing rather than attacking.
“What?
My words don’t matter now?” Bald Factory Director Wang growled viciously.
‘Wang Baishan’?
Hearing the na stirred Wu Xiaoyu’s fury.
His father had been dismissed and injured because of this man.
Wasn’t he transferred away?
How was he still managing the slaughterhouse?
Just as he was about to intervene, the police returned.
Leading them, Director Liu said to Bald Factory Director Wang, “Factory Director Wang, there’s no casualty here, and it seems the young man dealt with the mad cow.
You should thank him.
If he hadn’t, this could have gotten serious!”
