The Crazy Son-In-Law

That night.

With the scenic area closed, there were naturally no tourists coming to play. Mountainview remained very quiet. After dinner, Ge Dazhi and his wife sat in the yard to enjoy the cool breeze.

“When will this scenic area close?” Lv Qin sighed.

“Can’t you stand it after just one day?” Ge Dazhi said with a laugh.

“It’s good to close for a few days. It’s like a holiday for us. We didn’t rest properly all last year. How much money is enough, you tell me?”

“You’re so carefree. The cost of our child’s education is so high. What if he wants to stay in the capital in the future? Shouldn’t we save some money to move?”

“Move? I’m not moving. What’s so good about the capital? We have clean air and clear water here, we don’t worry about food and clothes. Why suffer there? Our son is young, if he wants to venture out, that’s his business. I won’t go anywhere in the future, I’ll die in our house.” Ge Dazhi said with a laugh after taking a sip of beer.

“Tut, what’s all this talk of death.” Lv Qin lightly spat.

“How’s your back lately? Still hurting?”

“It’s the same, I’m getting used to it.”

“Since we don’t have any guests, why don’t we go to the county hospital for an X-ray? You’re the one who cooks in the kitchen. Don’t ignore it now and regret it when you get old.” Lv Qin said with concern.

Ge Dazhi hesitated for a moment, then agreed: “I’ll listen to you, we’ll go tomorrow.”

Lv Qin pulled a chair to sit across from him, popped a boiled peanut into her mouth, and whispered: “Who do you think Mr. Xiao is? Yuxu came down the mountain to see him, and he dared to beat up Tong Li in front of Tong Antai. He was fierce.”

“He must be no ordinary person. I think if Tong Antai tried to be tough, Mr. Xiao might dare to beat him too. This is called ‘an object for an object’, Tong Li is indeed not a good person, he never pays when he eats here, serves him right.” Ge Dazhi said.

“But the Tong family is not easy to provoke. Yesterday afternoon someone came to ask where Mr. Xiao was. I didn’t tell them that Mr. Xiao had gone to the county hospital. I just told them he was gone. So I was scared when Mr. Xiao came last night. If he was blocked here by Tong Li, it would be trouble. He has no help with him, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.” Lv Qin said with lingering fear.

“We shouldn’t meddle in the affairs of big people. Better to mind our own business.” Ge Dazhi reminded.

“I know. I should have warned him this morning not to come back. I don’t know if he will stay with us tonight.” Lv Qin sighed.

Before she could finish speaking, there was a sound of brakes outside the door.

The two looked at each other, just stood up, and the main door was kicked open. A group of burly men in black short sleeves stormed in.

The leader was Zuo Bin, the mohawked man who was with Tong Li that day. Like Tong Li, he was also a difficult character.

Seeing the unfriendly visitors, Ge Dazhi quickly grabbed a cigarette from the table and approached them with a smile, handing out a few.

“Mr. Zuo, what would you like to eat today? There are no guests right now, I’ll prepare something for everyone.”

Slap!

Zuo Bin slapped away the cigarettes in his hand, and sarcastically said: “Ge Dazhi, you’re quite something.”

Ge Dazhi withdrew his hand hanging in the air, smiling all over his face: “I didn’t quite understand what you meant, young master Zuo.”

“Yesterday I sent someone to ask where Xiao Shun was, and you said he was gone. How come someone saw him leaving your house this morning? Did he crawl out of the ground or fall from the sky?” Zuo Bin hooked the corner of his mouth into a vicious grin and asked with a cold smile.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Oh, you’re talking about that. When the people you sent came to ask, they had indeed left. I didn’t know that he came back in the middle of the night. You know, it’s not good for business to drive people away in the middle of the night, so I let him stay for the night.” Ge Dazhi replied.

“Where is he now?” Zuo Bin asked.

“I don’t know, he went out this morning and hasn’t come back. I guess he really left this time.” Ge Dazhi said.

“Do you think I’m easy to fool?”Zuo Bin said in a deep voice.

“Do you think after hitting Mr. Tong and Chen Hua he can just leave? That’s too easy. Tell me honestly, where is he now? Or do you believe I can ruin your shop?”

“I really don’t know…” Ge Dazhi said with a frown.

Slap!

“You ingrate! Mr. Tong has already been very considerate not to hold you accountable, and you don’t appreciate it?”

Zuo Bin slapped Ge Dazhi across the face and roared.

“How can you hit someone!” Lv Qin quickly pulled Ge Dazhi to the side and demanded angrily.

“It’s none of your business, go back.” Ge Dazhi, holding his face with one hand, pulled her back with the other.

“Do you know where Xiao Shun is now?” Zuo Bin asked with a dark face.

“He’s a grown man, with hands and feet. How would we know where he went? Even if you beat us to death today, we won’t know.” Lv Qin shouted angrily.

“Good, then I’ll oblige you, let’s see how tough your bones are!”

Zuo Bin gritted his teeth and gestured to the more than ten black-clothed tough guys behind him: “Hit them! And smash this place up!”

Boom!

More than ten black-clothed tough guys surged forward, kicking Ge Dazhi to the ground and landing a flurry of kicks.

“Stop! He has a back injury, you’re going to kill him!” Lv Qin threw herself forward, shouting.

Zuo Bin stepped forward, grabbed her hair, and slapped her face twice, shouting: “Did you enjoy watching Mr. Tong and Chen Hua get beaten that day? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking! A bunch of troublemakers.”

“Stop it!” Lv Qin, not caring about the burning pain on her face, cried out with tears streaming down her face.

While crying and shouting, she tried to pry the hand grabbing her hair and struggled to rush over to save Ge Dazhi.

Several of the black-clothed tough guys brutally kicked Ge Dazhi, who was using his arms to protect his head and was curled up on the ground, wailing incessantly.

A few others rushed into the living room and smashed everything in sight-tables, refrigerators, TVs-into pieces.

“Stop.” Zuo Bin let go of Lv Qin’s hair and pushed her forward.

“I’ll ask you one more time, where is Xiao Shun? If you don’t tell me, you won’t be able to run your business in peace. Try me if you don’t believe it.”

Lv Qin crawled over to Ge Dazhi, sobbing: “We really don’t know where he went. Even if you kill us, we won’t know. Mr. Xiao’s employee got injured in the cave, he might be at the county hospital. We don’t know anything else…”

“Tsk, if you’d said so earlier, there wouldn’t have been a problem.”

Zuo Bin sneered, then waved his hand at the black-clothed tough guys: “Let’s go!”

Outside the door, Tong Li was sitting in an off-road vehicle. His face, which had been swollen from a beating, hadn’t yet fully recovered.

The Tong family’s stake in the scenic area wasn’t large, and when accidents happened, the government would step in to solve them. Hence, Tong Li didn’t know much about the details of the accident. Of course, having just been beaten, he also had no mood to care about these matters.
