Chapter 152: Causing Trouble While Rushing from Venue to Venue

The youngest son also opened his mouth to chime in, "Old witch... old witch..."

"And, Grandma also asked if they ate shit? They came over first thing in the morning spewing filth, saying they have no money, and if there isn't enough shit to eat, our family can give them some..."

Ye Yaodong watched him, a mouthful of rice, excitedly talking and gesturing there, with rice grains occasionally spitting out, making it somewhat hard to describe.

Lin Lin Xiuqing, with rice in her mouth, suddenly found it hard to swallow, stretching her neck to barely get it down.

"Eat your meal, just eat. Why so many words? Children should stay out of adults' affairs."

"Didn't Father ask if I was afraid? I'm not afraid! I think it's quite lively, but Father's expression just now was scary."

He cared for nothing; it turned out he wasn't scared, but rather afraid of him because his face was dark.

Ye Yaodong patted his head, "Shut up, eat."

He muttered quietly there, "Clearly you asked me first..."

Ye Yaodong glanced at him sideways, and he immediately obediently started shoveling rice and dishes.

As soon as the meal was finished, Ye Yaodong intended to go out, but Lin Lin Xiuqing, worried, called him back, "Don't go to Xu Xu Laisan's house."

"Got it."

Lin Lin Xiuqing looked at his departing back with a headache, wondering if he had listened.

Ye Yaodong had just left home and headed to Xiao Xiao's; Xiao Xiao had just finished eating too, and was idly teasing her daughter.

"Why come again?"

"The two women from Xu Xu Laisan's family came to my place causing trouble this morning; they must have heard from Xu Laifu that we caught him."

"Ah? They came to your place causing trouble?" Xiao Xiao said in surprise, "I heard those two elderly ones in his family are very unreasonable."

"Yeah, they said my mother chased them out. They didn't come to your house, right?"

"No, maybe they went to Fatty's? Let's go check? Kill time while we're at it."

The two strolled leisurely, chatting as they walked.

"I reckon the beating they got yesterday was too light; this family has no shame."

"Exactly, go lie in wait tonight when you have time?"

Ye Yaodong, hands in his pockets, agreed, "I have that thought; anyway, lying around at night is just lying around."

They had just strolled to the corner when they saw a crowd gathered at Fatty's door in the distance, along with the sound of street cursing; before they could get close, they saw a fat woman rushing out of the house with a knife, and a woman and an old lady instantly turned pale as paper, supporting each other as they fled in panic, fearing that if they ran slowly they would lose their lives.

Seeing this, the two exchanged a glance, quickened their steps, and upon getting closer heard the neighbors saying they deserved it, that the whole family had evil intentions...

The fat woman holding the knife was still glaring angrily, "What old thing, actually daring to come here to cause trouble; didn't scare them to death."

Fatty was also cursing there, saying something about how they were half a foot in the grave already, yet still wouldn't be at peace? Had to come out looking for scolding.

"Fatty."

Ye Yaodong and Xiao Xiao squeezed into the crowd.

"Why are you here?"

"Nothing to do, came to take a look, just happened to see a show."

Fatty cursed, "That old thing is of such an age and still won't be quiet; thinks life is too good, right? Just stay home to enjoy old age, isn't that happy?"

"Who knows?"

"Did they come to your house?"

"They went to Dongzi's house this morning, didn't come to mine."

Fatty snorted, laughing in anger, "Are they rushing from venue to venue? Went to Secretary Chen's house early morning, then to Dongzi's house, and now at noon they're at my house; won't they go to Xiao Xiao's house next?"

Xiao Xiao was dumbfounded, "No way? Actually rushing from venue to venue? Damn... this old lady really knows how to make trouble."

Ye Yaodong was also amused, "Do you want to go home and check? Maybe they rushed to your house; casting a wide net, if one family can't stand it, doesn't hold a grudge, and settles by scattering wealth, then they've made a profit."

"That can't happen; my wife isn't that stupid. Anything else is negotiable, but asking for money is like asking for her life."

Fatty's wife, holding the knife, patted his chest, "Go back inside to eat first; the meal was only half finished, and they came to the door; want to die."

Fatty instantly panicked, quickly straightening his body, puffing out his chest and tucking in his belly, "Ah Fang, put the knife away, don't just pat around randomly; can my chest be patted? If your hand slips, this knife will slice right off my belly."

She rolled her eyes, "That would be perfect; slice off half, just in time for weight loss!"

"Come in and sit for a while," she carried the knife back inside, muttering a few more times, "The food is cold, so annoying, really kills the appetite."

"Shall I heat it up?"

"No need, just a few mouthfuls of rice left, finish shoveling it down and it's done; save trouble, heat what? Might as well not burn firewood; anyway, both kids finished and left the table."

Fatty could only obediently sit down to eat.

Ye Yaodong and Xiao Xiao found it strange; they rarely came to Fatty's house and never knew what he was like at home; was this really his appearance? Wife points, he strikes?

Laugh to death!

Fatty also noticed the two's winking expressions, glared at them, "What are you doing? Xiao Xiao, why don't you go home and check? Maybe they really rushed to your house."

"It's fine, it shouldn't go that far; both are a bit old and must rest, go home to catch their breath, right? And my mother lives in the room next to ours, and my siblings all live nearby; I guess they thought of this too, which is why they were cowardly and didn't come to my house first."

"As long as you're not worried, Ah Guang isn't home; he's gone to sea. Don't know if they'll go to his house."

"Really treating it like rushing from venue to venue? It shouldn't go that far; if the person isn't home, going to the door to scold or act shamelessly is useless; showing it to a blind man."

"A whole family of ghosts!" Fatty's wife couldn't help but blurt out.

Ye Yaodong gave her a thumbs up, "Precise; indeed, the whole family are ghosts!"

Fatty said disdainfully, "Really disgusting people; next time we meet, drag them into the bushes and beat them again."

"Wait for what next time? Choosing a day is not as good as bumping into the day; let's go tonight."

"Otherwise, let sister-in-law carry a pig to their door to show off her knife skills!" Xiao Xiao suggested jokingly.

Fatty rolled his eyes, "Stop giving stupid ideas; don't order my wife around."

"Let's see tonight; they have to go out to the toilet anyway; they dare not come out during the day, but they must come out at night."

Sister-in-law couldn't help but remind, "You two go easy; don't beat them into illness."

"Don't worry, we're familiar with this line of work."

After sitting at Fatty's house chatting for quite a while, just as they were about to head back, Fatty's father-in-law happened to bring over a pile of unsold pork offal and pork bones.

【An old book friend I've known for ten years recommended this book-chasing app to me, Wild Fruit Reading! It's seriously freaking great—I use it to pass the time while driving and before bed, listening to audiobooks. You can download it here. Wild Fruit Reading】

Fatty's wife generously told them each to take some home, since it was unsold anyway.

Pork offal has a strong smell, and it's still hot during the day now, only cool in the morning and evening. A pig slaughtered in the early hours wouldn't be fresh by the next day—anyway, their whole family had eaten plenty of it.

Ye Yaodong and Xiao Xiao didn't stand on ceremony. He directly took a pork stomach and a pork liver, while Xiao Xiao took the large intestine and a pork heart, tied them up with rice straw, and the two of them walked out happily carrying them.

"Do you think we should come by Fatty's place for a visit more often?"

"I think so too!"

"He's gotten too fat—it's not good for his health. The two of them as a couple should really lose some weight. As brothers, we need to drop by from time to time to help them share the burden of that worry."

Ye Yaodong laughed and scolded, "When it comes to being shameless, I really have to hand it to you!"

"Health is what lets you live long. I'm doing this for his own good, hahahaha~"

"Why didn't you just say that inside the house earlier?"

"I'm saving it to say next time I drop by!"
