Chapter 43: 043 Don’t worry about hitting, I’ll cover the medical expenses (second update)

“Could you introduce me to the village chief? I’d like to discuss something with him,” Li Xianyun asked the elderly man.

“My grandpa is the village chief,” the dirty little boy selling fruits crisply said.

Li Xianyun looked at the old grandpa in surprise.

The old grandpa said, “It’s a shame to admit that I, as the village chief, haven’t got the ability to provide a better life for the villagers. Not only do they struggle, but my own family barely makes it from one meal to the next, forcing us to set up a stall.”

Just as Li Xianyun was about to speak, she heard a harsh commotion not far away. Looking in the distance, it seemed like someone was causing trouble at a fruit stand, with fruit scattered all over the ground.

The old grandpa sighed lightly, “Ah, they’re bullying the honest folks again.”

Li Xianyun turned to the old grandpa and asked, “What’s happening here?”

The old grandpa explained, “They are two hoodlums from our village, always bullying the weak. Lately, for some reason, they’ve set their sights on Nata’s family, harassing his wife and him every few days.”

“Every time they come, they create a scene, messing up Nata’s fruit stand so badly that the couple can’t do business.”

“The sad thing is, Nata’s family is in a dire situation; his elderly mother has been bedridden for years, and they have three children to support. A few years ago, Nata was a soldier and would bring home some silver, but ever since he was injured and discharged from the military, he’s had no income.”

Li Xianyun’s delicate brows furrowed. Such retired soldiers due to injuries should receive special care from the state; why has it come to such a tragic ending?

The old grandpa continued, “Nata and his wife are known in the village for being hardworking and honest. They’ve endured the bullies’ harassment, thinking it would pass, but the hoodlums have become even more relentless, causing trouble with increasing frequency. Just this morning, they made a disturbance, and here they are again at noon. They really leave no way out for people.”

Such hoodlums target the weak, the more you endure, the more unbridled they become, becoming more reckless each time.

Therefore, when it comes to people who bully others, one must fight back, not swallow the insults silently; one should let them know that you are not to be trifled with.

Li Xianyun said to the old grandpa, “Uncle, let’s talk about the fruit stand issue later. I’m going over there to take a look.”

The old grandpa hastily tried to stop her, “Young man, you better not go. Those two hoodlums are like a persistent plague; if they latch onto you, they’ll skin you alive even if you manage to shake them off.”

“Thank you, uncle, I know what I’m doing.”

As Li Xianyun said this, she made her way through the crowd of onlookers. When she arrived, Bater cleared a path through the crowd, escorting Li Xianyun inside.

She saw two skinny, incredibly sleazy men kicking around the fruit stand; many fruits were trampled and beyond selling.

One hoodlum said to Nata, “You can set up your stall here, but you have to pay us one hundred taels of silver.”

Nata clenched his fists in anger; he didn’t have that much money even if he sold his house.

“You’re not a government official, why should we pay you?” Nata said angrily.

The hoodlum gave the fruit stand another vicious kick and replied, “Why? Because I can put you out of business.”

With that said, they kicked around again.

Nata clenched his fists, grinding his teeth and said, “I’ll fight you rogues!”

Nata’s wife quickly hugged him, holding him back desperately, crying, “Nata, you mustn’t be rash, think of your mother, think of our three children. If you hurt someone, we can’t afford the medical expenses, and you could be thrown in jail. What will we do, as a widow and orphans, if you’re imprisoned?”

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, and she cried bitterly.

At her words, Nata backed down.

The onlookers also sighed. Rope always frays at the thinnest, and misfortune always seems to strike down on the most unfortunate. Why did these two hoodlums have to trouble this poor family?

How am I supposed to live after this?

The onlookers were angry but didn’t dare to speak, not a single person dared to speak out for justice, fearful of getting entangled with these two hooligans.

It was precisely because of this that the two hooligans became even more unbridled, stomping crazily.

“Stop!” Li Xianyun said in a cold voice.

Suddenly, it became quiet all around, and everyone’s gaze converged on Li Xianyun.

The two hooligans were also stunned, somewhat in disbelief. They were accustomed to bullying and had never encountered anyone who dared to confront them.

Both of them sized up Li Xianyun. Although this young fellow looked frail, he had a beautiful appearance that even they, as men, found desirable.

The two hooligans approached with malicious smiles.

One of the hooligans said in a rogue tone, “Yo, who’s this pretty boy? Such delicate skin, let me feel it.”

He had just reached out his hand when Bater grabbed his wrist, twisted it, and threw him to the ground, where he lay howling in pain and rolling around.

All the bystanders found it extremely satisfying.

Seeing this, the other hooligan took a step back in fright and pointed at Bater, “Do you know who I am? Daring to be so arrogant, be careful or I’ll have someone break your dog legs.”

The hooligan on the ground endured the severe pain and struggled to stand up.

Li Xianyun glanced indifferently at the two hooligans and said to Nata, “You must be Nata. You shouldn’t indulge people like them. Don’t be afraid, just hit them, even if they get hurt or become disabled, I will take care of the medical expenses.”

The people around were surprised by Li Xianyun. Though this young man looked delicate, he had an aura of nobility and his demeanor was extraordinary, making his words convincing.

Upon hearing this, Nata made a gesture of thanks to Li Xianyun, “Thank you gongzi (young master).”

After saying this, he pulled his wife’s hand away and limped toward the two hooligans.

His leg had been injured during battle, which was why he had retired from the military camp.

But even with an injured leg, his combat strength was not diminished, and if he really fought seriously, several strong men would be no match for him.

The two hooligans were terrified and kept retreating.

One of them said, “Nata, don’t be rash, you can’t hit us. Think about your dying mother, and your kid. If you—ow…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Nata’s fist had already hammered down on him, knocking him to the ground and sending two front teeth flying out.

Nata mounted him and started raining blows on the hooligan’s head with fury.

He vented the humiliation and anger he had suffered these past days; each punch was solid, causing the hooligan to cover his head with his hands and curl up, the onslaught of fists leaving him no chance to beg for mercy.

The other hooligan, witnessing this, was scared out of his wits and tried to scramble away in a panic.

Li Xianyun said in a light voice, “Bater, stop him, don’t let him get away.”

Bater simply stood next to the hooligan, who then fell to his knees from fright, his legs trembling, and ended up wetting his pants.

The bystanders couldn’t help but laugh.

After Nata had finished with one, he grabbed the hair of the other and dragged him to a patch of muddy ground, mounted him, and started beating him fiercely.
