Chapter 150: Henpecked

~7 min read 1,334 words

When I woke up in the morning, I was still a bit sleepy. Looking at Third Brother, who was still sleeping on the other bed, I got out of bed and kicked him, saying, "Hey, get up!"

Third Brother was groggy at this moment, but subconsciously kicked back. Fortunately, I was prepared and dodged it quickly. I only heard Third Brother's cursing: "Damn it, who kicked me? I'll kill him!"

However, when he saw it was me, he cursed angrily: "Damn, Fourth, are you trying to rebel? Do you believe I'll throw you out right now?"

"Get up quickly, stop messing around. It's time for school, and we still have to go to school today to discuss things with Zhang Yinuo!"

After hearing my words, Third Brother didn't pay any attention and turned over to continue sleeping: "Go if you want to. Anyway, I'm going to sleep for a while. At worst, I'll just be late. It's not like I haven't been late before!"

Seeing Third Brother continuing to lie on the bed sleeping, I said directly: "I'll give you five minutes to brush your teeth and wash up, otherwise there won't be any breakfast for you today!"

This sentence worked very well on Third Brother. Mainly because our current finances were indeed a bit tight, and it wasn't easy to be able to eat our fill every day. Third Brother didn't have any savings and didn't have a job, so the money for meals was usually paid by me.

Sure enough, Third Brother heard my words and got out of bed immediately, glaring at me angrily: "Fourth, you're ruthless. Damn, I must get ahead and earn a lot of money. It's too damn stifling!"

I gave a dry laugh and didn't speak. Third Brother and I arrived at school. The school was still the same as usual, except that everyone no longer looked at us the way they did before.

Zhang Yinuo and Chen Ling arrived earlier than us. Chen Ling saw me and greeted me excitedly: "Brother Yang Yun, morning!"

"Morning, Little Ling!"

"Brother Yang Yun, this is the breakfast I bought for you. Eat it quickly, otherwise it'll get cold!" Chen Ling handed the breakfast to me as usual.

I habitually took the breakfast and started eating it in big mouthfuls. Third Brother, seeing the fried dough stick in my hand, cunningly grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth. Seeing this scene, Chen Ling was furious and hurriedly scolded Third Brother: "Xu Hongzhi, what are you doing? How can you snatch Brother Yang Yun's food? This is what I gave him, you can't eat it!"

"Humph, you sent me away with just two or three steamed buns in the morning. You have your little beauty sending you things to eat, but I'm not full, so I'm snatching it!" Third Brother had a particular opinion about the breakfast I treated him to in the morning.

However, Zhang Yinuo on the side took out seven or eight steamed buns and handed them to us, saying: "I have some more here. I bought too many, you guys eat them today!"

"Wow, it's still sister-in-law who's good, unlike some people who are stingy!" Third Brother saw the steamed buns Zhang Yinuo handed over and hurriedly took them back to his seat.

And Chen Ling was so angry at Third Brother's "sister-in-law" comment that her nose was twitching.

I thanked Chen Ling, returned to my seat, and discussed things with Zhang Yinuo and Third Brother.

It just so happened that Fifth was also there. Fifth had been called back by his parents a few days ago for something, and he happened to be back today.

"Fifth, what did you do after going back for so long? Did your parents arrange a blind date for you?" I teased Fifth.

"How is that possible, Fourth Brother? Don't talk nonsense. If Hu Wei hears this, I'll be dead for sure!" Zhang Wu looked around secretly, discovered Hu Wei wasn't there, and whispered to me.

"Fifth, look at you, having no backbone, being so scared. Do you still have the look of a man? You'll definitely be henpecked in the future!" Third Brother held the steamed bun in his hand, looked at Fifth, who was looking around, and said with a bad attitude.

"Third Brother, Fourth Brother, don't talk about me. There's no way, that violent woman, I..." As a result, before Zhang Wu could finish speaking, Hu Wei suddenly appeared beside him, reached out, and grabbed Zhang Wu's ear.

Zhang Wu was in pain and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't, don't, don't, little aunt, let go, let go!"

"Who did you just call a violent woman?" Hu Wei looked at Zhang Wu with a livid face.

"I didn't say you. I was talking about someone else. I really didn't say you!" At this moment, Zhang Wu showed a very strong desire to survive.

"I clearly heard you talking about me just now. You still say you didn't?" Hu Wei didn't let go of Zhang Wu's ear.

"I really didn't say you, Weiwei. All the classmates around are watching. Can you give me some face?" Zhang Wu looked at Hu Wei pleadingly, feeling like he was about to cry.

Seeing the many gazes around, Hu Wei finally let go, but then directly shouted at the surrounding classmates: "What are you all looking at? Does me managing my own man bother you? Everyone, get back to class!"

Hu Wei's voice was very loud, and she carried a kind of extreme domineering aura of a strong woman while speaking, which scared the surrounding classmates into hurriedly lowering their heads to read their books, not daring to look anymore.

Regarding this situation, Third Brother and I both cast pitying gazes at Fifth. This guy's days ahead probably won't be easy.

Seeing Hu Wei return to her seat, I finally dared to talk to Third Brother and the others. I then asked Zhang Yinuo in front: "Yinuo, what was said about cooperating with your brother to deal with the Li family before?"

Zhang Yinuo turned to look at me, her expression slightly apologetic. Seeing this, I had a bad premonition.

"That, Zhang Longtao told me that he has to consider this matter. After all, the Li family is his people now, and they haven't shown any intention of rebelling against him. If the other party hasn't done anything to wrong him, and he goes directly to deal with the Li family, what will his subordinates think in the future? So, he doesn't plan to participate in this matter for the time being, unless the Li family takes the initiative to make a move against him. Otherwise, he won't participate in this matter!" Zhang Yinuo told me basically everything she had discussed with Zhang Longtao.

Learning of Zhang Longtao's thoughts, I felt a bit helpless. Originally, I thought that with Zhang Longtao's personality, he would likely participate, but I didn't expect the result to be different.

"Damn, what kind of gentleman is your brother pretending to be? Everyone knows what he's like, and now he's pretending!" Third Brother complained on the side with a bad attitude.

"Although Zhang Longtao is more cunning, slick, and unscrupulous in his actions, to be honest, he has never bullied his subordinates!" Zhang Yinuo explained.

"Never bullied them? Then how did he bully me before?" I was a bit unconvinced at this moment. When Wang Li bullied me before, I went to find Zhang Longtao, and that guy didn't care at all.

"Your matter was mainly a conflict between you and Wang Li. Regarding conflicts among subordinates, he doesn't care. He feels that if you have the ability, you should handle it yourself. After all, he has many such things under him, and he can't manage them at all. So, he never asks about such things. Anyway, from my understanding, Zhang Longtao has indeed never oppressed his subordinates!" Zhang Yinuo looked at me and said. **Chapter 151: So-called Experts**
