Chapter 15: The Troublemaker Has Arrived

  Facing Wang Haodong's inquiry, Zhang Shufang blushed and said: "It's hard to find a job now, and it's also hard to find a suitable one. I haven't found one for the time being."

  This kind of thing, in Zhang Shufang's view, is a bit embarrassing, but in Wang Haodong's view, it's nothing. Now that university students have graduated, it's not easy to find a suitable job, let alone her who only graduated from junior high school. In this small mountain town where job opportunities are scarce, it's naturally not easy to find a satisfactory job.

  Wang Haodong smiled and said: "Then you take a good rest. When you've recovered from your illness, I'll accompany you to look for work."

  Zhang Shufang's heart was filled with gratitude, and she said in a low voice: "I've come to your home and troubled you many times, I shouldn't trouble you again."

  "Look, you're being polite to me again, no need for that." Wang Haodong shook his head, turned around and took a look, the medicine was almost finished, then asked: "How do you feel?"

  "Much better, no headache, and I have some energy now."

  The doctor came over and prepared to remove the needle, saying: "It's nothing serious, just an infusion, go home and rest for 2 days after taking medicine."

  Zhang Shufang put down her mind and said, "Thank you, Sister Ding."

  "You're welcome."

  The doctor chatted with Zhang Shufang for a few more sentences, and after the infusion was finished, she pulled out the needle and prescribed her two days' worth of medication to take at home.

  "After paying the bill, Zhang Shufang said: 'Then we'll go first.'"

  "See you later, Sister Ding." Wang Haodong also greeted the doctor and escorted Zhang Shufang out of the clinic.

  "Can you walk? If not, I'll carry you back."

  "I feel much more comfortable now, walking shouldn't be a problem."

  Just thinking about it, Zhang Shufang's face turned red. Fortunately, she was feeling unwell and dizzy at the time, so she didn't have a chance to think much about it, otherwise it would be quite embarrassing.

  After receiving the infusion, Zhang Shufang felt much better. On the way back home, although it was muddy everywhere, she walked a bit slower but still managed to walk on her own. When she arrived home, her stomach growled with hunger.

  Zhang Shufang had just recovered from a serious illness and was afraid she couldn't cook, so Wang Haodong let her rest and went to the restaurant to buy food for her.

  Zhang Shufang felt that her family's economy was not prosperous and could save money. She said: "Hao Dong, I'm fine, I can do it myself."

  "There's only noodles at home. You're sick and your body is weak, you must eat well, wait for me at home." Wang Haodong said with a smile, then went out directly.

  Wang Haodong ordered a bowl of mutton soup at the restaurant, stir-fried a plate of la pi meat shreds, bought two steamed buns, and carried the packaged things back.

  Just as Wang Haodong arrived at the entrance of his home, he saw three young men standing in front of Zhang Shufang's house, smoking and chatting. When they saw him, they all stood up.

  One of them, looking around 20 years old with a yellow-dyed pompadour and a punk-like appearance, walked right up to Wang Haodong and said: "Kid, you look familiar, where are you from?"

  Wang Haodong took one look at their appearance and knew they were looking for trouble. He sneered, "I'm the one in charge here."

  The young man shouted: "Nonsense! I've lived in Liu's garden for 20 years and have never seen you. Don't waste my time, tell me, where are you from?"

  "Get out!"

  Wang Haodong waited for someone to deliver food back home for Zhang Shufang to eat, and was too lazy to chat with him.

  That guy laughed and said: "Hey, you dare to bully me? Do you know who I am?"

  Wang Haodong was no longer impatient, and with one kick in his abdomen, he directly kicked him to the ground, covering his stomach for half a day without getting up.

  Back in the city, Wang Haodong used his strength to punch a red brick, which could be broken into four pieces, and there was no pain on his hand. Suddenly attacking this kid, he was not enough to look at.

  "Damn it, you dare to fight on our turf? Are you looking for death?"

  "Beat him."

  The remaining two little ones rushed over, looking at their slow and clumsy appearance, Wang Hao Dong just smiled disdainfully, and slapped one of them in the face, knocking him to the ground.

  Another person's fist, Wang Haodong didn't even dodge, letting the fist hit his chest directly. He stood still on the spot, while that kid was knocked back a step by the force of the blow.

  Wang Haodong pointed at his robust chest and sneered: "Come on."

  That kid didn't believe it and punched again, bang, the sound was loud, but Wang Haodong felt like a slight itch, not painful at all.

  Bang.

  That little guy punched again, Wang Haodong still stood in place without moving, but his fist was already swollen and red, instantly scared to not dare to punch again.

  "You hit me pretty hard, three punches and I'm at a disadvantage. One punch from me and we're even." Wang Haodong said with a smile, and then threw out a fist.

  Ouch.

  That kid was skinny and weak, and was punched in the chest by Wang Haodong. He fell directly to the ground, covering the spot where he had been hit, and let out a pained grunt.

  Wang Haodong just gave him a lesson, otherwise he would have hit his solar plexus directly and could have killed him with one punch.

  "You three, from now on, keep your eyes open and don't dare provoke me again, or I'll finish you off."

  "Get out!"

  Wang Haodong shouted, and the three of them scrambled up. The young man in charge yelled "Wait for me!" before hastily fleeing.

  Before leaving, he even threatened me? Looking for death? Wang Haodong chased after him and kicked him to the ground.

  With a loud crash, the young man fell to the ground. Just as he was about to get up, his face was slapped again and he was beaten by Wang Haodong until his nose bled profusely, causing him to fall to the ground once more.

  "Oh no, oh no."

  Listening to his cries, Wang Haodong took a step forward and stepped on his hand. "I've been waiting for you, what tricks can you play with me? Speak."

  The two little ones left behind didn't dare run again. They had witnessed Wang Haodong's martial prowess and, although they didn't dare come forward again, simply stood on the side looking foolishly.

  "Oh no, spare me, I dare not." Huang Mao begged for mercy from Wang Haodong.

  "It's better if you don't dare, let me tell you, my pair of fists have the title of iron fist, don't mess with me."

  Wang Haodong just thought of them as local hooligans who wanted to bully him and cause trouble, being an outsider himself, he couldn't go kill them after all. He threatened them a few times, showed off his martial arts skills, and then let it go.

  "Get out."

  Wang Haodong snorted, and Huang Mao hastily scrambled to his feet, bringing two accomplices with him, and they ran away like dogs fleeing a funeral.

  Looking at their backs, Wang Haodong sneered and was about to enter the house to deliver lunch to Zhang Shufang. At the door of Xiao Yufen's house next door, a beautiful face appeared, which was Xiao Yufen herself, smiling and saying: "Haodong, you're really something."

  "Hey, just a casual visit." Wang Haodong walked up with a smile and asked, "Huh, Sister Yufen, when did you get back? What were you doing this morning?"

  "After a whole day and night of rain, I'm afraid the crops in the field will be flooded, so I went to drain the water." Xiao Yufen looked at the bag in Wang Haodong's hand and asked: "What are you carrying? It smells so good, like mutton."

  "Hey, Shufang is sick, I'll help her buy some food."

  "Oh." Xiao Yufen just said "oh" and asked: "Your relationship is going well, huh?"

  "I just happened to be able to help out."

  Xiao Yufen chuckled: "Still shy? What's there to be afraid of? You two are just dating, she's not married, you're not married either. You're a perfect match, why not give it a try?"

  Wang Haodong furrowed his brow, having slept with Xiao Yufen just last night and done the deed, how could she say such a thing? Not jealous? Not eating vinegar?

  Xiao Yufen changed the subject and said: "You were so fierce just now, those few kids are hateful, always causing trouble and bullying people."

  "Are you teasing me?"

  "That's not true." Xiao Yufen continued: "They don't go to school, they don't go out to work, they just hang around nearby, stealing chickens and dogs, pulling up garlic seedlings, they are idle vagrants."

  "That's just a little punk, still wants to challenge me, huh, gotta teach them a lesson."

  Xiao Yufen said to Wang Haodong: "They are not willing to suffer losses, you need to be careful, they may come again."

  "Hmph, no big deal, I can handle it." Wang Haodong nodded his head slightly. They were just a bunch of hoodlums, nothing to be afraid of. As long as he showed enough strength and let them know that they couldn't mess with him, this matter would be easily settled.

  "Alright, go find your sister Shufen quickly, don't starve her."

  Xiao Yufen turned her head and entered the house, between her and Wang Haodong, there was no longer the intimacy of last night.

  "After Shufen finishes eating, I'll teach you a good lesson and let you know how powerful I am." Wang Haodong thought viciously.

  How to treat?

  Hey, this is actually a pretty cool way!
