~8 min read 1,584 words

As evening approached in the capital city,

Nanluoguxiang, Courtyard 95,

carrying a pig's hind leg back, Zhang Cheng walked with a swagger, truly displaying his arrogance to the fullest.

Looking at the pig's hind leg Zhang Cheng was carrying, Yan Bugui immediately pushed up his glasses and said, "Little Zhang, what is this leg?"

"Bought it!"

Looking at Yan Bugui, Zhang Cheng didn't pay him much mind, because if you give him an inch, he really will take a mile.

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Yan Bugui didn't feel embarrassed and immediately smiled, saying, "Look, you bought such a big leg, you can't finish it alone, how about..."

"How about you call me Daddy?"

Looking at Yan Bugui, Zhang Cheng stared at him playfully.

"What do you mean? How can you insult someone like that? Truly unrefined!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Yan Bugui couldn't help but get angry.

But looking at Yan Bugui, Zhang Cheng sneered, "I'm not your father, why should I give you food? Drank too much fake liquor, have you?"

"You!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng indignantly, Yan Bugui was so angry he couldn't say a word.

And looking at Yan Bugui's state, Zhang Cheng mocked, "Tell me, are you just bored? You come up here looking for a scolding for no reason. If I weren't in a good mood today, I'd definitely slap you twice!"

Saying this, Zhang Cheng continued walking into the courtyard.

Looking at the pig's hind leg Zhang Cheng was carrying on his back, the neighbors' faces were filled with astonishment.

Because in this day and age, wanting to buy a whole leg is not simple.

Swallowing her saliva, Jia Zhang Shi looked at Zhang Cheng, her eyes filled with greed.

However, just at this moment, Zhang Cheng turned his head and stared at Jia Zhang Shi, his sharp gaze filled with chill.

After being beaten repeatedly, Jia Zhang Shi had learned to be smart; she immediately lowered her head and muttered to herself, but didn't dare to make a sound.

Ignoring Jia Zhang Shi, Zhang Cheng continued toward the backyard.

And just then, Xu Fugui looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "Little Zhang, this pig's hind leg..."

"Went hunting today, didn't catch anything, bought a leg from someone else. Does Uncle Xu want some?"

Looking at Xu Fugui before him, Zhang Cheng asked.

"No, we still have plenty of meat at home these days. You need to get this salted quickly. If you don't know how, ask your aunt for help!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Xu Fugui smiled.

"Alright, I'll definitely have to trouble you and Auntie then!"

Hearing Xu Fugui's words, Zhang Cheng also hurriedly smiled.

And watching Zhang Cheng go inside, Xu Fugui couldn't help but shake his head and say, "It seems this child has truly grown up!"

In the entire courtyard, except for the Xu family, the He family, and the Deaf Old Lady, basically everyone had borrowed money from Zhang Cheng.

The Deaf Old Lady didn't borrow because what she wanted was the house, specifically Zhang Cheng's main room.

And the Xu family disdained doing such things because they weren't short of that bit of money, nor would they kick someone when they were down!

As for the fool of the He family, he truly had no brains and hadn't even thought about this point!

Anyway, in the predecessor's memory, every time Qin Huairu came to borrow money, He Yuzhu was always on the side helping her plead her case!

Putting the pig's hind leg into his storage space, Zhang Cheng took out other meat.

Because this hind leg was something he had specifically brought back, otherwise there would be no way to explain where it came from.

Stir-frying a plate of meat with green peppers and a plate of shredded cabbage, Zhang Cheng picked up a steamed bun and started eating.

And the Deaf Old Lady, who was a neighbor, smelled the aroma and looked at the shredded cabbage and stir-fried potato shreds on the table, suddenly falling silent.

Because she was just a welfare recipient, and only by relying on the name of "Old Ancestor" could she eat something good, but even this "good" was something she had to scrape from other people's mouths.

Smelling the fragrance from next door, she looked at the First Aunt before her and said, "Little Wu, why don't you go next door and help me ask for some?"

"Old Lady, let's forget it. That child next door is not someone to be trifled with!"

Hearing the Deaf Old Lady say this, the First Aunt hurriedly refused.

Because Yi Zhonghai used to be so respected in the courtyard, but look what happened: Zhang Cheng shattered his dignity with two slaps, and even his position as the First Elder was revoked.

Except for Sha Zhu who continued to call him First Elder, who doesn't call him Master Yi now!

Moreover, Zhang Cheng's temper is too foul, even worse than Sha Zhu's.

Sha Zhu would just start a fight if he couldn't win an argument, but Zhang Cheng would just start fighting directly, without even saying a word!

How could she dare to go next door to ask for meat? Wouldn't that just be asking for a beating?

But just as the Deaf Old Lady appeared very aggrieved, a knocking sound came from next door.

Listening to the sound curiously, both the Deaf Old Lady and the First Aunt were surprised, because in this day and age, could there really be such a fierce warrior? Whose subordinate was this?

"Little Zhang, Little Zhang, open the door, it's your Sister Qin!"

Carrying a bowl, Qin Huairu knocked on the door and shouted.

"Clatter!"

The door opened, and Zhang Cheng, holding a steamed bun and a plate of stir-fried meat with green peppers, said, "What are you doing? Qin Huairu?"

"Little Zhang, isn't Bang Geng craving meat? I wanted to borrow some meat from you..."

Saying this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but tuck her hair, appearing very shy.

Twitching his mouth as he looked at Qin Huairu, Zhang Cheng subconsciously leaned back and said, "Qin Huairu, are you sick? The child is craving meat, just give him two beatings and he'll be fine, right?"

"Ah?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, Qin Huairu didn't expect him to be able to say such things.

Because wasn't the next part of the script supposed to be him dumping the meat from the plate into her bowl?

Looking at Qin Huairu, Zhang Cheng said, "You can't spoil this child. Wait a moment, I'll help you discipline him after I finish eating!"

After saying this, Zhang Cheng stuffed the remaining stir-fried meat into his mouth in one bite, then used the steamed bun to wipe away all the oil, saying vaguely, "Let's go!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng's back in shock, Qin Huairu immediately turned pale with fright and said, "Hey, Little Zhang, wait, wait, Sister Qin doesn't want the meat anymore, doesn't want it..."

But not listening to Qin Huairu, Zhang Cheng arrived at the entrance of the Jia family's house.

Seeing a figure appear, Jia Zhang Shi thought it was Qin Huairu returning with the meat and immediately said happily, "How about it, Qin Huairu, did that little bastard give it to you?"

But just as Jia Zhang Shi finished speaking, she raised her head and was dumbfounded.

Because the person who came was actually Zhang Cheng, not Qin Huairu!

Staring at this scene like a wooden chicken, Jia Dongxu was also stunned, because he noticed Zhang Cheng was raising his foot.

Quickly taking off his shoe, Zhang Cheng stepped forward and slapped Jia Zhang Shi across the face.

"Ah!"

A scream rang out, and Jia Zhang Shi couldn't help but feel the pain.

Ignoring Jia Zhang Shi's screams, Zhang Cheng swung his shoe sole and slapped her fiercely, saying, "Old hag, I see you don't feel right if you don't get slapped for a day, right?"

"Scold, I'll let you scold!"

After slapping Jia Zhang Shi with his shoe sole several times, Zhang Cheng kicked her onto the kang.

And looking at Zhang Cheng, Jia Dongxu roared furiously, "Zhang Cheng, how dare you hit my mother?"

"So what if I hit your mother? Did I forget to slap you too?"

Backhanding a slap with his shoe sole onto Jia Dongxu's face, Zhang Cheng hit him so hard he shut up on the spot.

And just as Qin Huairu hurriedly brought Yi Zhonghai over, she saw that Jia Zhang Shi and Jia Dongxu had already been beaten.

"Wuwuwu, Yi Zhonghai, look quickly, this little..."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai appear, Jia Zhang Shi thought reinforcements had arrived and immediately intended to burst into curses, but seeing Zhang Cheng's gaze, she immediately covered her mouth and didn't dare to say a word.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai, Zhang Cheng turned his head to see Bang Geng staring at him, and with a flick of his hand, he slapped him across the face with his shoe sole.

"Wuwuwuwu!"

Crying out in pain, Bang Geng immediately began to wail loudly.

And seeing this scene, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but roar, "Zhang Cheng, are you going crazy!"

"If you howl again, I'll slap you too!"

Pointing at Yi Zhonghai, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but stare at him and speak.

But looking at Zhang Cheng, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but roar, "Call a general meeting, I don't believe it, is there no rule of law left!"
