There's a saying that men are boys until they die.
Especially in terms of immaturity, it knows no age or gender.
Lin Zhuonan, while appearing to be an experienced player of the game of love and a shrewd, intelligent man, is also terrifyingly stubborn when he gets riled up, and no one can stop him.
Moreover, he was good friends with the Xiao family brothers when he was young, and Han Jian Yue had suffered at their hands since childhood. Even now that he's grown, he'll still throw a punch if he dislikes someone.
"What do you want? Don't you forget that you're a star now. Aren't you afraid your fans will see you acting so violent?"
Han Jian Yue, while inching along the wall, looked over and called out, "Where's the camera? Hurry and film it, film it all! Let everyone see how the great singer Lin Zhuonan bullies people!"
Lin Zhuonan was unlike Xiao Yi, who would reason before resorting to force. He was the type to act on impulse, grab someone, and throw a punch.
Xia Weiliang enjoyed watching a spectacle, but if a fight broke out, it wouldn't help the current situation. She quickly looked at Xiao Yi, "Aren't you going to break them up?"
Xiao Yi shrugged and gestured with his chin towards Lin Zhuonan, "When this kid goes crazy, we can't hold him back."
"Come here, to Dad! Dad will teach you how to behave!"
"Lin Zhuonan, if you dare touch me, I'll hold a grudge against you for the rest of my life!!"
Han Jian Yue was also driven to fury. Why? Why were they all bullying him like this?
"Alright, you want to hold a grudge? Dad will let you hold one!"
His fist was about to descend when someone called out to stop him.
"Stop!"
Shang Rongrong came over with a stern face, grabbed his wrist, and said, "Come with me."
Lin Zhuonan's face darkened, and his aggression vanished. Though his eyes were still fearsome, he obediently followed her.
Xia Weiliang immediately looked at Xiao Yi, "So, it really is that he doesn't care about you as much."
Xiao Yi: "...If you must say it like that, it's not entirely wrong."
"Ahhh! You guys are bullying me! Just bully me to death! Waaa... bullying me... bullying me..."
Han Jian Yue broke down, squatting on the ground and crying, "What is this? What are you all? I'm not afraid of you! Not afraid!"
Seeing him like that, Xia Weiliang actually felt a bit sorry for him.
However, she didn't have enough sympathy to go over and comfort him. Those who deserve pity also deserve a good beating!
The arrival of uninvited guests in Liu Village, along with the involvement of a strange factory outside the village, quickly spread throughout the village.
Led by Aunt Qian, the villagers came forward to stand guard, especially to keep an eye on Han Jian Yue and his group, ensuring they couldn't escape!
Her son couldn't work in the fields properly, which for a farmer meant the loss of their livelihood. Many villagers had similar experiences. How could they rest until they knew what was going on?
"This is illegal detention!"
Han Jian Yue, enraged, slammed chairs and tables.
*Bang.*
A mobile phone was thrown in front of him.
He froze and looked up.
Mikoy chewed his gum and said without even looking at him, "Call the police."
"You..."
"Forgot how to dial? Nine, nine, nine."
"..."
Han Jian Yue glared at him, then fell silent again.
Mikoy glanced at him, "Illegal detention? If I open the gate now, do you dare to escape?"
"Don't push your luck!"
Mikoy couldn't be bothered with him and yawned out of boredom, "A mere Han family dares to act so presumptuously in front of me."
Han Jian Yue immediately looked at him suspiciously, "And who are you?"
"You're not worthy of knowing my name." Mikoy lightly shook his index finger. "Only my future wife among these people can know."
Mentioning this, he became excited. "Do you know who my future wife is?"
Han Jian Yue said impatiently, "How would I know who your future wife is?!"
"That's right, do you know who my future wife is?"
"Are you sick?"
Mikoy's face stiffened. "Let's talk properly, don't curse." But he couldn't help but want to show off. "I'm telling you, my future wife is Xia, Wei, Liang!"
"Her?"
Han Jian Yue scrutinized him from head to toe, then suddenly realized, "Oh, unrequited love."
"What do you mean unrequited love? Can't you speak properly?"
This conversation made Mikoy feel frustrated. "She just hasn't realized it yet. When she realizes it, she'll happily throw herself into my arms!"
"Just you wait!" Even Han Jian Yue couldn't stand listening to this. "This woman is now Xiao Yi's girlfriend. You could pick anyone to compete with, but you want to compete with that guy who's full of schemes?"
Although Mikoy didn't like Han Jian Yue's character, he had to agree with this statement. "Well said, that guy is indeed full of schemes! Otherwise, how could our Wei Liang have been deceived by him?"
"He's not just bad, he's outrageously bad!" Han Jian Yue spoke of Xiao Yi with immense indignation. "They say you can tell an old person's nature from their childhood. That guy, at three years old, already knew how to manipulate adults..."
The two men seemed to have suddenly found common ground; one dared to speak, the other dared to listen.
"And then?"
"Then..."
"Wow! Did he really do that?"
"Yes! Isn't he terrible?"
"Too terrible!"
Outside, Zhao Cheng was reading a book.
Just then, a thin figure walked over, sat beside him, and quietly placed a plate of corn nearby.
Zhao Cheng looked down and smiled, "Thank you."
He didn't stand on ceremony, picked it up, and started eating.
Sun Xiaomei, with her small hands propping up her chin, listened to the almost frantic laughter of the two men inside and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with them?"
Zhao Cheng waved his hand. "Men are sometimes incomprehensible."
Sun Xiaomei nodded, as if she understood, and then said, "My mom told me today that if... if Uncle Liu gets compensation, maybe his family can take me in to live with them."
Zhao Cheng frowned. "Why did she suddenly bring this up to you?"
"I don't know." She pointed to the corn Zhao Cheng was eating. "She also gave this to me and asked me to give it to you."
The corn in his hand suddenly lost its appeal. *Su Dan Novel Network.*
However, Zhao Cheng had no habit of wasting food. He patiently finished eating it and refused to eat any more after that.
He wiped his mouth and looked at the little girl. "The adult world is very complicated. In the future, when your mother says anything to you, just ignore it. You should focus on studying. Our mission is to study, and only through studying can we change our lives."
"My mom... she'll tell me that studying is useless and that I should go out to work like my dad. That way, my brother's tuition fees will be covered."
Zhao Cheng was so angry he almost flipped the plate of corn. "What kind of nonsense is that! He's her own son, why should you be the one to raise him? Studying is useless for you, but useful for her son?!"
Sun Xiaomei fell silent.
The little girl was already eleven or twelve years old. Even if others didn't say it, she actually understood some of the reasoning.
