Chapter 10: Enraged and Beating Liu Er Zhu

  When Wang Aunt left with an umbrella, Wang Haodong pushed the cart and quickly caught up with Xiao Yufen, saying in a low voice: "Sister Yufen, slow down."

  "Thanks for giving me a ride." Xiao Yufen spoke without lifting her head, as if she was somewhat afraid to look at Wang Haodong's fiery eyes.

  "It's just lip service saying thank you, lacking sincerity."

  "What else do you want?"

  "Let's have a meal together." Wang Haodong wanted to use this opportunity to improve their relationship over dinner.

  Xiao Yufen walked forward with her head down, it was clear that she was struggling internally, and after a long time, she said: "Okay, I'll invite you to lunch at noon."

  "I have something to do at noon, how about tonight?"

  "No way." Xiao Yufen flatly refused, feeling that eating dinner together at night was somewhat improper.

  "What's wrong?" Wang Haodong smiled and said: "I can eat you up!"

  "It doesn't matter."

  At this time, they had already arrived at the entrance of the house. Wang Haodong was about to speak when the door opened and Zhang Shufang's face appeared. She saw Wang Haodong and hurriedly asked: "Little Wang, have you returned from town?"

  Yes.

  "I've cooked lunch, you can eat it later. I need to go to school to deliver lunch to Qianqian. It's raining and the road is slippery, so she won't be coming home for lunch."

  Zhang Shufang said, looking at Xiao Yufen with a strange expression on her face, then smiled and opened the umbrella, carrying the thermos lunch box, and walked out in big strides.

  After she left, Wang Haodong said to Xiao Yufen: "You see, my landlord has already cooked for me. I won't be able to go to your house for lunch today, how about dinner? That's settled then, I'll go in and eat now."

  "Hey, hey……" Xiao Yufen wanted to stop Wang Haodong, but he turned his head and looked at her. She stomped her feet, feeling a bit helpless, yet somehow, she felt that the short half-day they spent together was the happiest time of her life.

  Wang Haodong went into the house, went to the kitchen and ate lunch, braised eggplant with green pepper and eggs, which was very comfortable to eat. Zhang Shufang's dishes were more to his taste.

  After finishing his meal, Wang Haodong took out his phone and looked at it. He could finally make a call. However, he had changed to a new SIM card, so his old friends couldn't reach him; only he could initiate contact now.

  After flipping through the phone book, Wang Haodong sighed. He did have some friends, but they were all fair-weather friends. When there was nothing going on, they could eat and drink together, but when something happened and he wanted to borrow some money, only Wang Peng was willing to help him. The others all made excuses to refuse.

  A strong wind reveals the strength of grass, adversity reveals true feelings. Thinking about those people's faces, Wang Hao Dong gritted his teeth and ruthlessly deleted their contact information, only keeping Wang Peng's and his cousin Wang Xin's numbers.

  After putting down the phone book, Wang Haodong went online with his mobile phone and browsed the news. As he was reading, he heard footsteps and turned around to see that Zhang Shufang had returned.

  Zhang Shufang's face was full of gloomy expressions, and there was a man behind her, in his thirties, with a short haircut. Wang Haodong looked unfamiliar, but he didn't know who the man was.

  "Liu Erzhu, why are you following me?" Zhang Shufang turned her face and said to the man.

  Liu Erzhu? Wang Haodong muttered to himself, this village is called Liujiayuan Village, could he be a villager?

  The man called Liu Erzhu said while walking: "Shufang, don't blame me either. I didn't want to rush you, but you know that your sister-in-law is ill and I urgently need money."

  "Second Master, I'm not unwilling to repay your money, can you give me two more days?" Zhang Shufang pleaded in a low voice.

  "I lent it to you for more than a month, you should return it by now."

  Liu Erzhu patted his chest and leaned in front of Zhang Shufang, saying: "Your sister-in-law's illness is not a big deal, but it can't be delayed any longer. If it becomes serious, it won't be solved with just a few hundred yuan. Who will take responsibility then?"

  "I'm really out of money now, and there's still some food at home. Wait for two days, after the weather clears up, I'll take it to town to sell it and pay you back, okay?"

  "No way." Liu Erzhu shook his head, his eyes wandering over Zhang Shufang's plump chest, his gaze roaming everywhere, a greedy glint flashing in his eyes, as if he wanted to swallow her whole.

  "Then I really have no choice."

  "Actually, you have a way out. Why don't you sleep with me? I'll give you three days to pay back the money, how about that?" Liu Erzhu said, and then grabbed Zhang Shufang's shoulder and dragged her into the house.

  "What's wrong? What are you doing? Let go." Zhang Shufang struggled violently, her fingers grasping and scratching wildly.

  Ouch.

  Liu Erzhu's face was scratched and torn, the intense pain causing his facial muscles to contort, as he couldn't help but curse: "You cheap goods, will you or won't you answer, today I'll play with you no matter what."

  As soon as you finish speaking, Liu Erzhu pounced on him fiercely.

  Wang Haodong couldn't bear it anymore and strode out, shouting loudly: "Stop!"

  Liu Erzhu's body shook, and he immediately retreated a few steps, looking at Wang Haodong with a suspicious expression, asking: "Who are you? What are you doing here? Mind your own business. Scram."

  Wang Haodong's face turned cold, he didn't say a word, took a few steps forward, grabbed Liu Erzhu's neck with one hand, and violently kneed him in the stomach.

  Ouch.

  Liu Erzhu let out a miserable groan, his stomach in severe pain, as if his intestines were about to rupture. After Wang Haodong released him, he fell directly to the ground, convulsing non-stop, and threatened with his mouth: "Good, good you little brat, you, you just wait for me."

  Threaten me? Wang Haodong wouldn't fall for that, he kicked him in the leg and slapped him, saying: "Get out, or I'll beat you up again."

  Liu Erzhu struggled to get up, a sinister look flashing in his eyes, and ran out of Zhang Shufang's home in disarray.

  "Shu Fang, are you okay?" Wang Hao Dong hurried over, but saw that Zhang Shu Fang's hair was a bit disheveled, her clothes were torn at the corner, revealing her fair skin, and the deep cleavage also flashed in his eyes.

  "It's nothing," Zhang Shufang shook her head, "Thank you, Haodong."

  As she spoke, she covered her clothes and those fair skin disappeared from Wang Haodong's eyes.

  Wang Haodong asked: "I seem to have heard something about money and so on, what's going on?"

  "Earlier, Qianqian was ill and I was in a tight spot financially. Coincidentally, I ran into him at the clinic entrance, he found out and voluntarily lent me money. I haven't paid him back yet, but unexpectedly, he treated me like an animal."

  Seeing Zhang Shufang's wronged and indignant look, Wang Haodong said: "Then I think we should call the police, get them to catch him, strike at his arrogant behavior, next time he'll definitely not dare."

  Zhang Shufang immediately shook her head, "Forget it, the Liu family has a lot of power in the village, if I report this to the police, there will definitely be a lot of trouble later."

  Wang Haodong said with a serious tone: "Evil cannot defeat justice, I don't believe it. They can't turn the sky upside down. Even if the Liu family in Liujiazhuang village is powerful, they can't do those illegal and criminal things."

  "Thanks, Haodong, I'll figure something out."

  Wang Haodong furrowed his brow, thinking to himself, "If you have a way to pay back the money, then there wouldn't be any trouble today." After thinking for a moment, he asked, "How much do you still owe him? I have some money on hand, I can lend it to you first."

  "Five hundred," said Zhang Shufang, stating the amount. In fact, she had previously received 500 yuan in food expenses from Wang Haodong and had taken out a portion to repay another debt, otherwise she could have returned it to Liu Erzhu.

  "Little Wang, are you comfortable?"

  "It's enough." Wang Haodong smiled and took out 500 yuan from his pocket, handing it to her, "Here, consider it a loan from me. Is that okay?"

  Zhang Shufang's face was filled with emotion, and it took her a long time to take the money. Her voice choked as she said: "Thank you, thank you so much, Little Wang."

  "Now we live in one house, count as a family, don't be so polite." Wang Haodong smiled and said: "Let's go, I'll accompany you to return the money."
