Chapter 65: Just this violent!
After patiently listening to Liu Haizhong's words, Shazhu suddenly whooshed over.
"Move aside, move aside, all of you move aside for me."
"Otherwise if you bump into me, don't blame me."
Shazhu is just that violent.
In his fury, he became even more violent.
Before his shout even finished, the onlooking crowd made way, clearing a path.
This is the domineering "War God" Shazhu.
Nobody wants to touch this bad luck.
Shazhu came up to Liu Haizhong, snorted, and said angrily:
"Yo, I thought it was someone else."
"Turns out it's you, Second Elder."
"Have you figured out the family matters?"
"If you haven't figured it out, don't come out and embarrass yourself."
Saying that, he looked around and shouted loudly:
"Are Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu here?"
"Did your dad beat you today?"
"He's been beating you since you were little—goodness, the household is in chaos."
"Having such a violent father, I really pity you and feel heartbroken."
"But can you guys, damn it, show some spine?"
"No matter how old you are, you still get beaten by your dad—what woman would dare marry you in the future?"
"So embarrassing, so embarrassing!"
Shazhu withdrew his gaze, looked at Liu Haizhong, and said, "Second Elder, the old lady told me before, if parents are unkind, children are unfilial."
"Looks like you're the one they were talking about."
"You should learn from the Eldest Uncle, not always adopting a lecturing tone."
"You barely know a few characters, yet you dream of becoming an official."
"Having no great ambition—that's exactly what you are."
"If I respect you, I call you Second Elder; if I don't, you're nothing."
"If you keep going like this, being violent, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu are destined to be monks for life."
Liu Haizhong's face was already a mix of black and red.
He was furious from embarrassment.
He pointed at Shazhu, so angry he couldn't speak for a moment.
Liu Guangtian stood in the crowd; he too was angered by Shazhu's words.
After a moment, he raised his voice, pointed at Shazhu, and shouted:
"Shazhu, you should first take care of yourself."
"You're five or six years older than me, almost thirty, and still single."
"All you know is to follow behind married women—that's why no woman wants to marry you."
Shazhu's hair stood on end with rage, yet Liu Haizhong still felt some apprehension.
"When did Liu Guangtian dare to scold him?"
He pointed at Liu Guangtian, about to rush over.
Liu Haizhong angrily said: "Dare!"
"If you dare to move against Guangtian today, I—we father and son will flay you alive!"
Shazhu furrowed his brows, turned around, glared at Liu Haizhong, and clenched his fists.
Yi Zhonghai shouted: "Impudent!"
"Shazhu, what exactly do you want to do?"
"This is your Second Elder."
"Do you want to fight?"
Just then, Yan Bu Gui walked in.
"What, what's going on?"
Shazhu felt his head growing bigger.
All three elders in the courtyard have arrived.
Facing these three people, he has never won.
San Da Ma briefly told Yan Bu Gui what had just happened.
Yan Bu Gui looked at Shazhu and said:
"Shazhu, well, that's your fault."
"You're a grown man—how can you hit a woman?"
Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice: "Responding to the public's call, compensation—must compensate."
Shazhu widened his eyes, looking at Yi Zhonghai with an incredulous expression: "What?"
Yi Zhonghai, I used to be your enforcer.
Now that you have Lin Shengli, you've discarded me?
Liu Haizhong gave Shazhu a look and said irritably: "What nonsense!"
Beating women, Shazhu, that's all you're capable of.
I, I also think we have to pay.
Old Yan, what do you think?
Yan Bu Gui: "The Eldest Son and the second son say we must compensate; as the third son, I have no choice but to go along."
Liu Haizhong: "San Da Ye, help Master Liang calculate—how much should Shazhu pay?"
Yan Bu Gui nodded, doing mental arithmetic while counting on his fingers.
After a moment.
Just as he was about to speak, San Da Ma's voice came:
"I've already figured it out."
"Tell me if what I'm saying is right or wrong."
"A full-body check-up at the hospital will cost at least thirty bucks, right?"
"Injuring tendons and bones takes a hundred days—that means you need to rest for a hundred days."
Shazhu shouted: "San Da Ma, you're talking nonsense here."
"Just a shove, and you need to rest a hundred days?"
San Da Ma: "Shazhu, how dare you speak like that?"
"As the old saying goes, injuring tendons and bones originally requires a hundred days of recuperation."
Yi Zhonghai: "San Da Ma, keep going with the calculation."
San Da Ma nodded and said: "The daily nutrition cost... for injuring tendons and bones, you need to eat better, averaging two bucks a day, so that's two hundred bucks."
Hearing this, the crowd stirred.
And Shazhu's face had already turned ashen with rage.
"There's also lost work pay..."
Saying this, San Da Ma turned to Liang Ladi and asked:
"Master Liang, what's your wage?"
Liang Ladi: "Fifty-five bucks and five mao."
San Da Ma: "On average, that's about one bucks eight mao a day, so over a hundred days it's over one hundred eighty bucks."
Shazhu could no longer hold back; he waved his hand at San Da Ma and shouted angrily:
"Get as far away as you can!"
"Go settle scores with your own family and your kids—don't scheme against me here."
Yan Bu Gui: "Shazhu, how are you speaking to your San Da Ma?"
Shazhu: "You're no prize either."
Yi Zhonghai shouted: "Shazhu, you're getting more and more insolent!"
Liu Haizhong: "Right, right, what his San Da Ma says makes a lot of sense."
"Master Liang must rest for a hundred days."
"All together, you owe Master Liang over three hundred ten bucks; rounding, that's three hundred twenty bucks."
Shazhu even felt like killing someone.
Just then, the Deaf Old Lady walked over.
Shazhu hurried over and supported her.
This is his biggest backer; he must attend to her well.
The Deaf Old Lady walked up to Liang Ladi and asked:
"Ladi, what do you think is a proper amount for Shazhu to compensate you?"
Liang Ladi glanced at Lin Shengli, wanting to speak but stopping.
She was also a bit dazed.
Although she wanted Shazhu to pay, she never imagined it would be so much.
Three hundred twenty bucks—that's more than half a year's wages for her.
As for Shazhu, that's more than a year's wages for him.
Lin Shengli gave a light smile and said: "Old lady, it's not just Sister Liang who wants Shazhu to pay."
"But everyone agrees Shazhu must pay."
"Sister Liang's waist was already bad; as for how much, let's discuss it together."
The Deaf Old Lady nodded and said:
"Shazhu was indeed over the top today."
"But three hundred plus bucks, even Shazhu's yearly wages aren't enough to cover it."
"Besides, his San Da Ma is also exaggerating."
"Moreover, I feel Liang Ladi's injury shouldn't be serious."
Hearing this, Liang Ladi quickly let out a wail and said:
"Old lady, my injury is serious."
"It hurts so much, ow, everywhere hurts, ow..."
