Chapter 92 Ruthless People Don't Need to Say Much

The Zhou family's current situation is actually no different from the Tao family's; after the sacrifices they made, they no longer want their grandchildren to join the army.

Their family backgrounds also depend on local policies. Since both families have produced heroes, the conditions will inevitably be relaxed as long as the child is outstanding.

But once this was started, the old lady couldn't stand it, and the two children were so frightened that they didn't dare to mention it again for the time being.

The Zhou family now lives in the shop and doesn't go back to the village anymore, mainly because they're afraid their relatives will cause trouble again.

Little did they know that in the eyes of their own family, their family was a highly sought-after prize. As the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. They always felt that they hadn't gotten enough of the benefits and wanted to squeeze every last drop out of them. Especially now that their two grandsons were out there to support the family, how could the family member who had given away their adopted son be willing to accept that?

Sure enough, early on a weekend morning, a dozen or so people came to Zhou's noodle shop to cause trouble. They were frightened by the ruthlessness of Zhou Xing and Zhou Yue last time, so this time they brought a dozen or so young people. They were trying to bully the old couple to death.

It just so happened that everyone in their family was home today, and the older brothers ran to the front yard as soon as they heard the noise.

After spending this time together, Zhou Xing and his brother, along with Tao Zui and the others, developed a brotherly bond.

As soon as he heard that his brother was in trouble, he rushed to the front yard to help without even eating.

Tao Changyi and Zhao Lingli also went over to ask about the situation, but only Ajiu felt that they had to finish their meal no matter what!

She vigorously shoveled the cornmeal porridge into her bowl, holding an egg in her hand, eating with great relish. She would also occasionally gesture to her sister to put food on top of the egg or on the edge of the bowl.

Panpan smiled and said Cuihua and Zhaodi.

"Big sister, second sister, you two just spoil her. Look at her, you two don't eat yourselves, you just serve this little devil."

Cuihua's eyes were full of Ah Jiu. She held a handkerchief in her hand, wiping away any saliva that got near Ah Jiu's mouth. She smiled when she heard Lao San's words.

"It's been so long since I've seen Ajiu, so I have to take good care of her. Ajiu, eat slowly, don't rush. Your brother and the others have gone over to help. Besides, I think those two Zhou brothers are ruthless. Who knows who will come out on top!"

Tao Tao naturally realized that it had taken them a year and a half to travel from the northernmost part of my country to their central plains. She heard that they had left home without taking anything with them, and the fact that they were able to find their way home alive was enough to prove their abilities.

They dare to mess with that family who aren't even afraid of death; they're just asking for it.

Indeed, just as Tao Tao had thought, the Zhou brothers did not hide from anyone; they started working as soon as they opened the door.

Without even looking, the fist was swung at the face of the loudest old woman in the middle, a blow aimed at killing her. The others were so frightened that they rushed to pull her away, and some even took the opportunity to hit Zhou Xing. But they didn't expect that Zhou Yue, who came up from behind, would be just as fierce.

Whoever hits his brother, he'll beat them up. The two brothers are ruthless and don't talk much; once they start fighting, blood is drawn.

When the others couldn't stop them, they went to find the elderly, but the Tao brothers stood at the door and blocked them from entering.

"This is a matter for the Zhou family. Get out of our way, or don't blame us for being impolite."

Tao Zui sneered, "Oh, who are you being so rude to? We've already called the police and severed all ties. What are you still doing here causing trouble? Do you think Grandpa and Grandma Zhou are easy to bully? Bullying elderly people and children like this, have you no shame?"

"Exactly, it's outrageous! The old couple has raised your dog for over ten years, and instead of being grateful, they keep coming over every few days asking for money. No wonder you're family! Look at your leech-like faces, ugh, disgusting!"

Hearing the commotion, the neighbors all came out to help the elderly Zhou couple.

Third Brother ran fast and was told by Father to report it to the police.

When Tao Changyi pulled the Zhou brothers apart, the ungrateful adopted son and grandson had already been beaten beyond recognition by the two brothers.

This is a combination of old and new grudges. I already felt that I didn't beat them enough last time, so this time I'm going to go even harder.

This is what they mean by "ruthless and taciturn." They come at you and strike where you can't see them, and no one can stop them.

If Tao Changyi hadn't been afraid of causing someone's death, he probably wouldn't have bothered to lend a hand. It's outrageous, utterly outrageous.

Fortunately, when their family suffered misfortune, their relatives and friends all stayed away from them. Once their family recovered, when they tried to take advantage of them again, their parents chased them away with brooms and haven't bothered them since.

The Zhou family has clearly run into a rogue. Luckily, the shop belongs to their family, otherwise they would have taken the shop away too.

These people are carrying weapons today, thinking they'll smash up the shop if they don't get their money.

They ran into a tough opponent. It seems the brothers held back last time; this time they didn't give the family a chance to react at all, they just attacked first and thought nothing more.

"Zhou Dashan, listen to me carefully: once is enough, twice is not enough, but three times is not enough. This is your second chance. Next time, I'll cripple you!"

“My brother and I have come all the way from Northeast China. What kind of people haven’t we seen? What kind of hardships haven’t we endured? We’ve fought with beggars for food and raced against vicious dogs. With your pampered body, you’re still too green to compete with us!”

Zhou Xing made a harsh statement, and he also took a lot of punches, spitting out blood from his mouth. Before leaving, he kicked Zhou Dashan hard at his male pride. With a pig-like scream, Zhou Dashan's son, who was even two years older than Zhou Xing, was so frightened that he took several steps back.

Zhou Yue beat the old woman so badly that her husband couldn't recognize her. After his brother stopped, he also stopped beating her.

As a result, Zhou Dashan's youngest son, who was only six years old, took a stone from somewhere and threw it at Zhou Yue's forehead.

Zhou Yue didn't see anyone and was hit squarely, bleeding profusely. While the child was still stunned and everyone else hadn't reacted, Zhou Yue passed right through the old woman, grabbed the child, and threw him out with a thud, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.

He cried out in pain and started wailing. Just as he was about to grab him and throw him a second time, Zhou Dashan's wife suddenly appeared out of nowhere and knelt down in front of Zhou Yue with a thud.

“He didn’t do it on purpose. You’re being lenient with him. He’s only six years old and doesn’t understand anything. He just saw your brother hitting his father. He really didn’t do it on purpose.”

"Since he didn't do it on purpose, then you did it on purpose, right? Fine, then you can take the remaining two punches. I don't care if you're a woman or a child; whoever messes with me, I'll fight them to the death!"

As he spoke, he grabbed the woman by the collar and began slapping her face repeatedly with both hands, her screams echoing throughout the entire street.

But no one dared to step forward. Everyone was stunned by the man's reaction. Good heavens, are you sure this isn't murder?

This involves three generations of a family, and they haven't spared a single one. Men, women, the elderly, and children—in the eyes of these two brothers, they are all enemies!

The three branches of the Zhou family were so terrified of being beaten that some of them ran away without even saying goodbye.

"I'm not getting involved in this mess anymore. Let whoever wants to get involved take care of it!"

Anyone who values ​​their life would know, even a fool, that these two brothers are not to be trifled with, or someone might die.

When the third wife saw that the second and fourth wives had all run away, leaving only Zhou Dashan's parents, wife, children, and brothers, she was completely bewildered.

So all that trouble he went through was just to be someone's punching bag? If he gets beaten up in return, where will he put his face?

He was indignant and didn't want to let it go, so he grabbed his older brother's trouser leg.

"Brother... quick, help me beat him up, this bastard, today..."

Before he could finish speaking, his sister-in-law called away the elder brother he was talking about.

"Are you stupid? Didn't you see how badly he's been beaten? If you help him, this guy will beat you up too. Hurry up and go back."

"That's right, Dad. Even my grandma got beaten up like that. Do you think we should take her to the clinic to get her checked out?"

The old woman's head had been beaten black and blue, and she was curled up and howling nearby. The old man was puffing on his pipe, clearly flustered by the scene and unsure of what to do. If he went back like this, wouldn't he be utterly humiliated?

What's this called?

Did they try to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead?

"Why aren't you leaving yet? Are you really going to wait for the police to come and arrest all of you troublemakers?"

Tao Changyi saw Zhou Dashan panting on the ground like a dead dog. His eldest son tried to pull him up with a look of disgust, but failed several times.

Zhou Dashan's wife was crying her heart out while holding her youngest son. She was in pain too; her teeth were bleeding from the blows. Now she was filled with regret. Why did she listen to that old woman's instigation and join in this fun?

Those two boys are really ruthless! Ouch, it hurt her so much! She's never suffered like this before in her life!

After cleaning up the mother and child, Zhou Yue casually wiped the blood from his forehead, turned around, saw the Zhou Dashan brothers hiding far away, and sneered.

"Anyone else have a problem with this? Come on! We brothers have never been afraid of trouble. Last time, we didn't wipe you all out because of Grandpa and Grandma. Now that you've delivered yourselves to our doorstep, let's have a proper talk about how to settle this score!"

"Brother and sister-in-law, are you really planning to hide like this forever? Come out and see what this grandson has done to people. He's a member of the Zhou family, and he's a wolf in sheep's clothing who attacks without even a word. Are you really willing to keep him around? Aren't you afraid of what will happen to him in the future?"

This was the third son of the four families, and also a grandfather. He was sitting on the steps in front of their house, smoking a pipe and saying some meaningless things, thinking that he could morally blackmail Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou, who were the eldest sons. Who would have thought that before he had finished putting on airs, Zhou Xing suddenly turned around and pulled him up from the steps.

"So, who is this? It turns out there's someone here who talks without a care in the world. What? Back when you couldn't afford to raise your own beastly son and insisted on giving him to my grandfather, weren't you already planning to take over everything in my grandfather's house? Your beastly son has been taking a lot of things from your house over the years, hasn't he? Judging from how greasy your faces are, you've obviously benefited quite a bit. Otherwise, why would you still be so stubborn and refuse to let go?"

“My grandparents raised your children and grandchildren, and instead of being grateful, they keep provoking them. Why did you bring my grandparents out here? To listen to how you, you dog, provoke them? You called us brothers little beasts, so what are you? An old beast? Your whole family got beaten up. If you didn't get beaten up, it wouldn't make sense. And you still have the leisure to smoke here? I'll let you smoke, you old thing, smoke your ass, I'll smoke you until you die!”

Zhou Xing poured the scalding hot ash directly onto his face, and the old man howled in pain, completely losing his previous arrogant demeanor.

Then Zhou Yue came over and beat him up.

"You've raised your son like this, he deserves a beating. Your wife got beaten today too, if you don't, it'll look so asymmetrical. Come on, wouldn't it look better if we had a pair of pig heads?"

Zhou Dashan and his brothers, who originally wanted to take care of their parents, ran away faster than dogs when they saw this.

They can just not take advantage of this, whoever wants to take advantage can take it. Damn it, I never want to have anything to do with those two wolf cubs again in my life.

If his idiot brother insists on going against them, he won't even know how he died one day.

When the elderly couple saw that their other three sons had all run away, and that their grandsons and their wives had disappeared sometime earlier, they were so angry that they started cursing loudly.

"Go ahead and curse at your own home. Don't ruin everyone's mood here. Are you going to leave or not? If not, I'll send you on your way."

When Zhou Yue's icy, sizzling sound rang out behind them, they were so frightened that they scrambled to their feet. Who would dare to fart again? They staggered and tried to run away.

"I'm warning you, get the hell out of my sight if you ever see us again, or if anyone dares to show their face in front of me, I'll beat them up first."

Upon hearing this, the Zhou family members vanished instantly, disappearing faster than rabbits, and the street fell silent in an instant.

Turning his head, Tao Changyi saw several police officers arriving late. After thinking for a moment, he quickly spoke to the two children.

"You two go to my house and have your aunt apply some medicine for you. Don't come back any further. Leave the rest to us."

Then he said to Tao Ran, "Go to our house and get a jar of sorghum liquor, and have your grandma cook some good dishes."

Grandpa and Grandma Zhou came out at this moment. Zhao Lingli had been holding them back from coming out, but now that the annoying person was gone, they heard Tao Changyi's words as soon as they came out, and they were so moved that they didn't know what to say.

"Nephew, shall we prepare the meal?"

"It's alright, ma'am and sir. You've been too frightened. Tell these police officers all the grievances you've suffered over the years. They are military families after all, and we can't let them bully us like this. Even if they run away, you can go to the village and ask them what's wrong."

He turned around and saw the two brothers still standing there, and he frowned.

"What, haven't you had enough yet? You two have really stolen the show today, hurry up and go to the backyard."

At this moment, Zhao Lingli and Cuihua brought over two basins of water, and with a splash, the blood on the stone path was instantly washed away.

As soon as the two policemen arrived, Grandpa Tao and Tao Changyi quickly welcomed them inside.

Seeing the wet patch on the ground and the barely noticeable bloodstains, the neighbors rushed home and warned their children never to mess with these two ruthless men. Who could possibly dare to mess with such tough characters?
