Little Xue'er's words directly caused Shazhu to explode.
"You stinky girl, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Shazhu was furious and immediately went to teach Liu Xinxue a lesson.
"Get lost!"
Liu Kaixuan decisively intervened, kicking Shazhu in the stomach, sending him sprawling on the ground.
Shazhu roared, "Liu Kaixuan, what do you mean? You're not going to discipline your daughter for talking nonsense?"
"Who's talking nonsense?"
Liu Kaixuan replied righteously, "Shazhu, don't pretend to be a tough guy in front of me!"
"You have to praise you as a good person, and only then is it reasonable, right?"
"If Xue'er speaks the truth, is that also not allowed?"
Shazhu retorted, unwilling to back down, "When did I become a good-for-nothing? You have to be factual!"
"You're not a good-for-nothing, then why did you lie to Qin Jingru?"
Liu Kaixuan questioned sternly, "If you have a job, you have a job. If you don't, you can go find one!"
"I..." Shazhu was instantly speechless.
Liu Kaixuan questioned again, "You're a strong man, staying at home doing nothing all day!"
"You don't go out and find a job, what else are you if not a good-for-nothing?"
"Fine, I can't win you with words!"
If Shazhu could beat Liu Kaixuan, he would have attacked long ago.
It's just that he wasn't Liu Kaixuan's match, and rushing in to fight now would be purely looking for trouble.
Leaving behind a sentence, Shazhu intended to slip away.
Liu Kaixuan, however, said loudly, "Stop right there!"
"What else do you want?"
Shazhu gave Liu Kaixuan a resentful look, hatred surging in his heart.
Liu Kaixuan said coldly, "Who did you call a stinky girl just now?"
"Hurry up and apologize to my daughter, or I'll break your dog bones today!"
"I..."
Shazhu replied indignantly, "Liu Kaixuan, are you being unreasonable?"
At this moment, Liu Kaixuan had already put Liu Xinxue down.
Then he rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Shazhu.
Seeing Liu Kaixuan charging at him menacingly, Shazhu immediately chickened out.
Although Liu Kaixuan's frequency of fighting had significantly decreased over the years, he had left a shadow on Shazhu back in the day.
Now, seeing Liu Kaixuan about to make a move, Shazhu immediately cowered.
"Director Liu, please don't get angry. I spoke too much just now. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me!"
Shazhu bowed his head in submission, but Liu Kaixuan's attitude remained stern, "Since you want to apologize, show some sincerity!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Shazhu nodded repeatedly, "I'm sorry, Little Xue'er. I was too impulsive just now!"
Liu Xinxue, being young and innocent, also responded with a smile, "It's okay, Uncle Zhuzi. I'm not angry anymore!"
Although Xue'er was young and ignorant, Liu Kaixuan certainly wouldn't give Shazhu a good look.
"Shazhu, I'll warn you one last time today. If I ever see you bullying my family again, I won't be as lenient as I am today!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Shazhu nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "Director Liu, please rest assured. I'll never dare to do this again!"
"Get lost!"
Upon receiving Liu Kaixuan's permission, Shazhu felt as if he had been granted amnesty and fled with his tail between his legs.
Although Liu Kaixuan's slap didn't land in the end, Shazhu's mentality had completely collapsed.
When he had been beating up Xu Damao earlier, he had been radiant like a god descending from heaven.
But when Liu Kaixuan lectured him later, he was more cowardly than a dog.
His image of bullying the weak and fearing the strong had firmly taken root in Qin Jingru's heart.
Moreover, Liu Xinxue had publicly called him a good-for-nothing.
The image that Shazhu had painstakingly built up had instantly collapsed again.
Even though Liu Xinxue was just a child, the words spoken by a child of her age were more convincing!
Even a child calls you Shazhu a good-for-nothing, aren't you truly a good-for-nothing then?
Shazhu complained in his heart that Liu Kaixuan was deliberately "targeting him," but in reality, Liu Kaixuan was quite innocent in this matter.
Liu Kaixuan had come here to watch the fun.
He had already achieved his goal by mocking Xu Damao earlier.
Liu Kaixuan had planned to leave, but Shazhu insisted on stopping him.
Shazhu shamelessly asked Liu Kaixuan to "praise" his character?
Good heavens, Liu Kaixuan had been generous enough not to kick him while he was down.
And now Shazhu actually expected Liu Kaixuan to praise him as a good person?
He had completely forgotten all the things he had done to Liu Kaixuan back then.
In order to curry favor with Qin Jingru, Shazhu had no choice but to grit his teeth and go out to find a job.
...
Around noon, Yi Zhonghai shamelessly came to Jia's house to beg for a meal.
Bang Geng sternly retorted, "Yi Zhonghai, do you want to drink fish soup again?"
"If you want pufferfish soup, just say so, and I'll supply it to you anytime!"
Yi Zhonghai's face changed drastically, "You little brat, how are you talking to your father? I think you're asking for a beating!"
As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai raised his palm to hit Bang Geng.
Bang Geng counterattacked fiercely, "Yi Old Dog, try hitting me!"
"Now that I have my godfather and Shazhu protecting me, if you touch even a finger of mine, I'll turn you into a cripple!"
"I..."
Yi Zhonghai had already raised his palm, but after being threatened by Bang Geng, he immediately chickened out.
Back then, after Yi Zhonghai had broken Bang Geng's legs, he had been viciously retaliated against by Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu had many men outside, and as long as she was willing to offer herself, someone would help her.
Those thugs educated Yi Zhonghai as easily as beating a grandson, without any pressure.
Not to mention, Shazhu had already been released from prison.
When Shazhu was at home, Yi Zhonghai didn't even dare to come to Jia's house to "beg for a meal."
The courtyard was no longer Yi Zhonghai's domain.
Yi Zhonghai had to tread carefully, living with his tail between his legs.
"Qin Huairu, how are you disciplining your child? Look at Bang Geng's attitude towards me now!"
Yi Zhonghai couldn't do anything to Bang Geng, so he shifted the blame to Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu replied with a gloomy face, "Yi Zhonghai, don't spout nonsense at me!"
"If you want to eat at my house, you have to obediently pay me living expenses!"
"A man with all his limbs intact, lying around and living off of others, if you're not ashamed, I'm ashamed for you!"
"Qin Huairu, you bitch, I've become like this all because you ruined me?"
Yi Zhonghai's mentality had collapsed, "If you hadn't been seducing other men outside and getting my legs broken, would I be like this?"
