Over ten minutes ago.
The Wu family’s western-style house.
Wu Daming was happily indulging in his lunch.
For so reason, in the past few days, his wife Jia Lanhua had been especially kind to him, serving him three dishes and a soup every day.
"Elder Wu, is that enough for you, not enough? I can go fry another dish for you?"
Apron-clad Jia Lanhua was smiling cheerfully at Wu Daming, who was eating.
Wu Daming chuckled.
"Enough, enough, wife, why have you been so attentive to lately? Do you want to really exert myself? Don’t worry, I recently heard about a ’recipe’ that can revitalize a man like a dragon and a tiger, brimming with energy. You just wait."
A trace of barely noticeable disgust flashed in Jia Lanhua’s eyes, but she continued speaking perfunctorily.
"That sounds great, I’m waiting."
She thought to herself, how could this old thing be as vigorous as a dragon and a tiger?
How could he compare to Zhang Xiaoshan?
With Zhang Xiaoshan’s youthful and handso appearance, she was more than willing to throw herself at him.
The reason she had been so nice to Wu Daming these past few days was partly because she felt guilty about sothing she had done and wanted to make up for it, and partly to keep Wu Daming happy so she could find an excuse to go to the city for a few days and et up with Zhang Xiaoshan. That way, they could frolic shalessly in the city.
Thinking of Zhang Xiaoshan’s skills that night, she felt she couldn’t wait.
"There’s trouble, Mayor, big trouble."
At that mont, Elder Wei’s mother charged in from outside.
"Ah, it’s you, what happened? Did your house burn down this early morning? Are you hurrying to my death?"
Wu Daming glared at Elder Wei’s mother, visibly displeased.
Elder Wei’s mother, with a face like a mourner, said amidst sobs.
"It’s more urgent than a house fire. It’s your son Wu Biao and Li Erniu; they ca to my house with weapons to make trouble and, and they even beat my old man."
"What?"
"What act is that kid Wu Biao putting on now?"
Wu Biao was almost his designated successor, and he started to feel a sense of urgency.
"Humph, your Wu family mbers are always causing trouble in the village. I think you should mind your own business. Let them stir things up if they want to," grumbled Jia Lanhua with dissatisfaction.
Elder Wei’s mother’s head was shaking like a rattle-drum.
"No, it wasn’t Wu Biao who led the charge, it was Zhang Xiaoshan, it was that kid who started it. Wu Biao and the others followed Zhang Xiaoshan over."
"What?"
Now both Jia Lanhua and Wu Laohu were shocked.
"Aren’t Wu Biao and Zhang Xiaoshan enemies? How did they end up together?" Wu Laohu couldn’t make heads or tails of it.
Jia Lanhua was even more worried about her darling Zhang Xiaoshan. If anything happened to him, how could she live on?
Elder Wei’s mother said.
"I, I’m not sure either. They ca early in the morning with a group, I, I, Mayor, please go have a look."
Jia Lanhua hastily urged Wu Laohu.
"Daming, with the situation looking so urgent, I think you should go and see."
"Don’t let sothing more serious happen later."
Wu Laohu looked at the frantic Jia Lanhua, a bit stunned.
"You, what’s gotten into you? Don’t you always detest these matters?"
"Just now you were telling to butt out, and now this?"
Jia Lanhua hurriedly changed her tune and said.
"Aren’t I also doing this for the Wu family’s sake?"
"No matter what, Wu Biao is the Wu family’s eldest son and grandson, and is ant to take over your position in the future. You can’t just watch him ss things up, right?"
Wu Laohu sensed sothing was off but couldn’t imdiately put his finger on it.
anwhile, Elder Wei’s mother was restlessly urging him again.
"Mayor, saving lives is like fighting fires. If you arrive too late, my husband and son could be beaten to death."
"Such a bloody nuisance."
It was only then that Wu Daming reluctantly set down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up, displeased.
"I’ll go have a look as well, Daming, walk faster."
Jia Lanhua, ditching her apron, hurriedly pulled on Wu Daming’s arm and ran.
After all, Zhang Xiaoshan had beco her real man.
It was only after that night with Zhang Xiaoshan that she felt she had beco a real woman and understood what a true man really was.
...
Seeing the sudden arrival of Wu Laohu,
The previously agitated yard quieted down.
Although Wu Laohu was a bit sleazy, he held absolute authority in the village.
Wu Biao and the others instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to make eye contact with Wu Laohu.
The surrounding villagers also cleared a path.
With his hands behind his back, Wu Laohu walked up to the door.
"Mayor, this is unjust. My family is being wronged, and you must defend us. It’s outright bullying."
Wei Bao, who had been beaten to look like a pig’s head, rushed forward and clung to Wu Laohu’s arm, streaming with snot and tears.
"Enough, speak slowly, let go of my arm."
Wu Laohu pushed Wei Bao away with so disgust.
Then his gaze fell on Wei Bao lying on the ground, bloodied and half-dead.
He was taken aback.
Wei Bao was also a respected figure in the village, second only in intimidation to himself. How did he end up so miserably battered?
"You did this?"
He looked at Wu Biao with displeasure.
Wu Biao imdiately shook his head in terror.
"Uncle, no, not ..."
"It was ."
At that mont, Zhang Xiaoshan, who had been inside the house, walked out and openly admitted it.
"You’re quite bold, kid. So, you’ve turned legit and now think our White Dragon Village can’t contain you?"
Wu Laohu had always harbored resentnt towards Zhang Xiaoshan; even if Zhang Xiaoshan had brought gifts that night, it didn’t an he was willing to let bygones be bygones.
He needed an opportunity to suppress Zhang Xiaoshan.
