"If you keep acting like the Jia family, people will curse you, and that wouldn't be fun!"
"Alright, alright, I know you're a useless good-for-nothing!"
Li Xinggai glared at Wang Dapeng again, but ultimately, the matter was dropped.
First, Li Xinggai knew Liu Kai Xuan had money, and a wicked idea popped into his head.
However, since Wang Dapeng had made his stance clear, Li Xinggai could only put away his unrealistic thoughts.
If they made a big fuss and ruined their family's reputation, they would end up like the Jia family, a public enemy, hated by everyone.
If it came to that, they wouldn't have a good life for the rest of their days.
...
When Liu Kai Xuan returned home, Zhao Feiyan had already prepared dinner.
The whole family was sitting at the dining table, waiting for Liu Kai Xuan to come home for dinner.
"Xiao Hu, are you hurt?" Liu Kai Xuan looked at Liu Xin Hu and asked with concern.
Xiao Hu replied with a powerful voice, "Don't worry, Dad, I'm fine!"
"And, I know I was wrong, I won't fight with other kids anymore!"
"Heh heh..."
Liu Kai Xuan shook his head and smiled, "I didn't say you were wrong!"
"Kai Xuan, what are you doing?"
Zhao Feiyan glanced at Liu Kai Xuan, signaling him to be cautious with his words.
Although Zhao Feiyan appeared very strong in front of others, that was just the attitude a mother should have at crucial moments.
"Essentially, Zhao Feiyan didn't support Xiao Hu breaking Xiao Zhuang's head!"
"At such a young age, they are so ruthless. What will they be like when they grow up?"
"It won't be long before they turn into materials like Bang Geng, right?"
Zhao Feiyan had already reminded Xiao Hu not to fight with other children in the future.
But she didn't expect Liu Kai Xuan to contradict her directly after coming home.
Liu Kai Xuan waved his hand and said, "Xiao Hu, what I mean is that we can't bully the weak, but we must also be self-reliant!"
"As a boy, you must ensure that you are not bullied, and you must protect your loved ones from being bullied!"
"Being meek and submissive won't do!"
"But in the future, when conflicts arise with others, you must prioritize reason and talk things out!"
"It's best to resolve issues through communication!"
"When communication fails and your personal safety is threatened, you must resist when you need to!"
"Okay, Dad, I understand!"
Xiao Hu nodded repeatedly, indicating he understood.
Zhao Feiyan nodded and smiled at this point.
What Liu Kai Xuan had just said was perfectly reasonable.
We shouldn't bully others, but we absolutely cannot be bullied either.
Moreover, a man should act like a man.
Protecting oneself while also protecting one's family, as long as one acts uprightly, what is there to fear?
...
As the family was eating, Sha Zhu tiptoed in from outside.
Sha Zhu had been sentenced to one year in prison in previous years for colluding with Bang Geng in theft.
His sentence was shorter, and he had already been released.
After being imprisoned twice, Sha Zhu had clearly become much more subdued and stopped causing trouble.
Liu Kai Xuan hadn't interacted with him for a long time.
He didn't expect this guy to show up today.
Liu Kai Xuan just frowned when he saw Sha Zhu coming, but Sha Zhu smiled and said, "Director Liu, I'm getting married soon!"
"You can come and drink wedding wine then!"
"You're getting married?" Liu Kai Xuan asked instinctively, "Who are you marrying?"
"Of course, it's Qin Jing Ru!"
"What?" Even with Liu Kai Xuan's exceptional composure, he was stunned. "You're marrying Qin Jing Ru, not Qin Huai Ru?"
"Director Liu, what are you thinking?"
Sha Zhu replied with a wry smile, "Qin Huai Ru and Yi Zhong Hai are still not divorced!"
"If I were to pursue Qin Huai Ru now, it would be taboo!"
"Oh, heh heh..."
Liu Kai Xuan nodded and smiled, "You're right, I almost forgot about that!"
"By the way, how is Xiao Hu? Is he injured?"
"Uncle Zhu Zi, I'm much better now!"
Before Liu Kai Xuan could speak, Xiao Hu had already answered.
"Heh heh..." Liu Kai Xuan just nodded and smiled.
Although there was animosity between the two families, since Sha Zhu had come to inquire about Xiao Hu's injury, Liu Kai Xuan still had to be polite. As the saying goes, "One shouldn't strike a smiling face."
After a brief pleasantry, Sha Zhu got straight to the point: "By the way, Director Liu!"
"I'm getting married and I'm short on cash. Could you lend me 20 yuan?"
"Lend money..."
"I'm truly sorry, Sha Zhu, we really don't have any money right now!"
Zhao Feiyan, who had just returned to clear the dishes, overheard and immediately refused Sha Zhu, "We spent a lot of money repairing the bicycle a while ago!"
"All our savings are gone, and we really don't have the money to support you now!"
"If not, you can try asking Yi Zhong Hai. He's a kind-hearted person!"
"Uh... alright then!" Sha Zhu could only nod with an awkward smile and left discreetly.
Sha Zhu wasn't a fool; seeing Zhao Feiyan's attitude, he knew he wouldn't get any money today.
How much could repairing a bicycle cost? Liu Kai Xuan's salary was enough to repair it daily without lacking money.
When they said that, it was just a polite refusal.
If he continued to pester them, it would be awkward.
After Sha Zhu left, Zhao Feiyan walked over and asked, "Kai Xuan, I..."
"That's enough, what's there to say between an old couple?"
"What you just said is exactly what I wanted to say!"
Lending money to Sha Zhu? Let's forget about it.
Liu Kai Xuan's personality now was much more restrained compared to the past.
If it were in the past, Li Xinggai would probably have gotten a beating today.
One must maintain the relationships between neighbors. The martial world is not just about fighting, but about human relationships and worldly affairs.
However, there was no need to maintain such relationships with Sha Zhu.
Firstly, Sha Zhu still couldn't break free from Qin Huai Ru, that vampire.
"Giving him more money is like throwing a dog a bone; it will never return."
Secondly, Sha Zhu had always been an accomplice to the Jia family's misdeeds.
Although Zhang Cui Hua was dead, the grudges between Liu Kai Xuan and Qin Huai Ru had not ended.
Moreover, Liu Kai Xuan had not forgotten how Sha Zhu and Qin Huai Ru colluded to disrupt his wedding ceremony back then.
You still want to borrow money from me? It's polite that I didn't slap you!
