Episode 22: Inviting a Slap in the Face

  Wu Pen's work is perfect, Perfect Brother-in-law 22nd episode, Inviting a slap in the face.

  ……

  "Hey, don't you know good dogs don't block the way?"

  Three Eggs knocked down the old farmer's wife, turned around and wanted to continue walking forward, quickly leaving this place, not wanting to drag on with the old woman here. But just as he took a few steps, a figure blocked his way, his nose almost hitting the person's chest... This guy is too tall!

  From the two titles of "Lao Gengtou" and "Lao Gengpo", Ao Wu already knew that this peasant woman was the parents of Xiucai. Seeing her being bullied by the rural tyrant, a fire suddenly rose in his heart.

  Although he ran over quickly, he couldn't stop him from pushing down the old woman. At this moment, the fire in his heart turned into murderous intent, and he wanted to kill this pointed-faced young man as soon as possible.

  Kao Wu rushed forward, just in time to block San Dan's path. Hearing his curses, he didn't get angry at all, but instead reached out and grabbed his hand, bending his fingers back in a joint lock. San Dan's nose and face suddenly contorted, letting out a loud "ahh" as his body slowly went limp, kneeling on the ground, with his hand stretched out high but unable to alleviate the pain!

  Originally worried that Da Hu would be at a disadvantage, seeing San Dan could only kneel on the ground begging for mercy, he didn't stay here and ran to help up Lao Weng. Lao Weng got up with an "aiyo" and saw that the person kneeling was a tall and thin Confucian scholar, she couldn't help but stare blankly, and exclaimed in surprise: "Wu, you're back!"

  As soon as she finished shouting, her tears slid down her dark face.

  At this moment, Ao Wu's heart felt a pang of sadness!

  He was born in the fairy world, without father or mother, and was picked up by his master. He was raised until he was half grown, then his master left, and he was raised to adulthood by his master's sister.

  The second generation returned to the mountain town, and the master of the body walked out from the depths of the mountain. He had been infatuated with the prosperity of the city for many years and hadn't returned to the mountain in a long time. With a responsible attitude, he made a trip back to the mountain, only to see two graves. The parents of the body had passed away two years after he left the mountain, unable to contact their son, not even getting to see him one last time. Even this body didn't know that his parents had passed away.

  In this life, at this moment, looking at Lao Gu's tears, Ao Wu can feel how heavy this love is!

  His heart ached and he felt moved, so his three eggs were called out even more miserably.

  "Ah, ah, my fingers are going to break off!" San Dan's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets as he stared at his own fingers twisted to an inhuman degree, as if the next moment would bring a crisp cracking sound.

  A low voice had been hidden in the noise for a long time before it finally came out: "Uh-huh."

  The old woman ran over with surprise, standing in front of Ao Wu, raised her head, and looked at him with tears in her shining eyes, as if seeing him was enough.

  "You've grown taller and thinner!" she exclaimed with a mix of surprise and concern.

  Kao Wu couldn't express his emotions, so he let San Dan Sheng use an even more mournful cry to represent him.

  "Oh no! Old lady, your son is going to kill someone, hurry up and save him!" San Dan was in so much pain that tears and snot were coming out.

  The miserable cry woke up the old woman, and she asked in fear: "Wu Ah, will he die? If he dies, it's not good, we'll have to see an official..."

  She was just a simple and cautious farmer's wife who feared for the safety of her loved ones. Ao Wu asked, "Has the winnower been returned?"

  "Ah, fingers... still, must still!" San Dan didn't dare say no at this time. Seeing Ao Wu release his fingers, he ran back home in a hurry as if he had seen a ghost.

  The old woman didn't care about the three eggs, her shining eyes never left Ao Wu. Listening to her muttering, only then did she know that the scholar had not returned home for two months. Following her to what was called home, she was still thinking that when Lao Geng saw his son return, he would be very happy. However, the reality was different from what she said. When they arrived in front of a farmhouse, an old man with dark skin sat at the door weaving bamboo, and when he saw Lao Geng's wife bring Ao Wu back, his dark face turned even darker. This should be Lao Geng.

  Kao Wu remained silent and didn't say much, while Old Granny kept talking nonstop, asking Kao Wu if he was doing well at the Zhong's house and instructing him to be humble and courteous when interacting with others. Meanwhile, Old Man Kao didn't utter a single word from start to finish. Although he was just a lowly old farmer, he played the role of a strict father as if it were a divine existence.

  He took off all the valuable things on his body and put them in Lao Kui's hands, then bid farewell. But as soon as he and Da Hu walked out, they saw a group of farmers surrounding him.

  "It's him, it's him who wants to kill me! Fellow villagers, you can't let him go!" San Dan shouted, his hand wrapped in cloth, as he cried amidst the surrounding farmers.

  A fat woman cried and pointed at the farmhouse, scolding: "Well done, old turtle head and old turtle wife! You dare to collude with outsiders to kill people in our village. This time I won't let the village chief drive you out of Sanlitun. Fellow villagers, beat these two little thieves to death!"

  Big Tiger blocked in front of Ao Wu's body: "Who dares to hit our family's maternal grandfather?"

  This blockage actually triggered a surge of unity among the villagers, and the hoes in their hands were raised.

  "Which of you dares to touch my son, I'll fight with my life!" A thin old man jumped out from inside, holding a flat iron and shouting.

  The old man who had been sulking and not speaking just now, as soon as he saw everyone surrounding his son, immediately jumped out to fight for his life. His paternal love for the scholar is not in words, but in his heart. Paternal love is as thick as a mountain!

  The old woman also ran out, a woman's mouth is powerful, just a few sentences and the fat woman's words were turned upside down again.

  Those villagers who held up their hoes heard that this man was not an outsider, but the son of Old Ao. Because Ao Wu suddenly grew taller and also entered the Zhong family, he rarely returned to Sanlitun, so the villagers didn't recognize him at first. After hearing this, they carefully identified him and found out it was indeed him. So his fight with San Dan was an internal conflict within the village, and one villager couldn't gang up on Old Ao's whole family. As a result, some of the villagers left. However, since San Dan's family had many connections in the village, many villagers stayed behind to help San Dan's family find their footing again.

  "Three Eggs, are you going to pay us back with a broom?" Ao Wu asked calmly, surrounded by nearly a hundred farmers.

  The three of them heard this and thought it was a joke: "I'm not here to return the dustpan, I'm here to take your life. Don't think that just because you're a scholar, I won't dare do anything to you. You won't be going back to the Zhong family today."

  The villagers are all related, this family is Uncle's house, that family is Brother's house, one family has an accident, the whole village is mobilized. The relatives of San Dan Jia in Sanli Tun are many, but Lao Kui Tou is a single household, living in Sanli Tun, but has no relationship with the people here. In this situation, no one helped him, no one stood on his side, even the Village Head who came over after a while was also biased towards San Dan.

  As a result, the people of Sanlitun surrounded him and didn't let Ao Wu leave.

  "Are you going to skin me alive before you're satisfied?" Ao Wu glared at the three relatives of San Dan who refused to leave. "Fine, as long as you don't make things difficult for my parents, I'll let you do whatever you want to me. San Dan, it was me who hit you just now, are you looking for revenge? Come on, my face is right here, go ahead and hit me!"

  He pointed at his own face, which looked like a work of art, and made an inviting gesture to San Dan.

  This person has a kind of evil destructive psychology, when seeing beautiful girls on the street they want to go up, when traveling they like to write "I was here" on white walls, and when seeing others' faces are better-looking than their own they want to scratch them.

  Kao Wu didn't believe that a guy as ugly as San Dan would have such thoughts about his own face, and this invitation was right up his alley!

  Three eggs took a step forward and then retreated back, because he remembered the pain of being pinched earlier and was afraid.

  His relatives can't help but despise him for being too cowardly!

  "Come on, as long as you don't make things difficult for my parents, feel free to hit me!" Ao Wu continued to invite.

  This is protecting his parents at the expense of himself, many fellow villagers are moved. They all farm in the same village, with some families being better off than others, and there are many places where they intersect, so even distant relatives are not as close as neighbors. At this moment, thinking of old times, he couldn't help but retreat. However, there were some people who weren't moved, but instead believed Ao Wu's words because of this, such as San Dan brother who was about to go up and slap his face.

  The old man's face was ferocious: "Who dares to move my scholar son, I'll chop his whole family!"

  Kao Wu pulled the old man back, drew a circle with his hand on top of Lao Geng's head, and said: "At home, what the tall one says goes."

  His face blackened, the strict father who would stop at nothing was stunned now, and turbid tears fell from his stunned eyes.

  Kao Wu didn't go see those heart-wrenching tears and continued inviting San Dan.

  Three Eggs walked in front of him with a sly smile on his face.

  Seeing Ao Wu about to be humiliated, those who are close feel pain and those who are enemies feel delighted.

  "Ahhhhh——" a mournful cry rang out, "My fingers... are broken..."

  Everyone was stunned, seeing San Dan already kneeling on the ground, his injured hand raised high, being pinched by Ao Wu's hand. Just now they didn't see how Ao Wu made his move, and then saw San Dan kneel down.

  Lao Kui's head, Lao Kui's wife and Da Hu let out a sigh of relief. Lao Kui hastily wiped away his tears, how could he still pretend to be a strict father in front of his son if he cried?

  Fatima, relatives rushed over like crazy, and the county magistrate sternly ordered Ao Wu to let go.

  Kao Wu laughed and asked San Dan: "Does your mother dare to run over here?"

  "Ah......" San Dan only felt the pain in his hand increase several times, and he hastily shouted: "Don't dare... Ah Niang, don't come over, if you come over my hand will be cut off! Ahhh!"

  The miserable cry was even more pitiful than a pig's, and Fat Wife's heart ached as if it were being strangled, so she hastily stopped.

  Kao Wu's smile grew even brighter, "Does the village head dare come over?"

  "Ah...... Second Uncle, don't come over!" After San Dan shouted this, he found that the pain in his hand had lessened a lot.

  Xiang Zheng was still using his righteous words to stop Qiao Wu, but he didn't dare come over.

  "Who is he, oh Fourth Uncle, dare to come over?" As Ao Wu called out one by one, all the people who were about to run over were forced to stop.

  No way, since Ao Wu has a hostage in his hands, whoever dares to rush forward will hear the sound of killing pigs, who would dare to move forward now?

  "You're quite good, I'll call you a broom, and you actually called someone to come to the door, are your fingers itching for me?" Ao Wu said with a smile.

  "No, no..." San Dan shook his head like a rattle drum.

  "Where's that winnower?"

  "Mother, mother, hurry back home and return the dustpan!" San Dan hastily called out.

  That fat woman, upon hearing this, ran as fast as a rabbit and soon brought back a dustpan. She gave it to Old Ge and begged him to ask Ao Wu to release her son.

  "Dare you bully my parents again? Dare you occupy our family's things again? No one dares, who believes you? First sing a song of 'Conquest' and listen!"
