“Of course! Since your old man won’t teach you manners, I will do it on his behalf!” Wang Bapi immediately shouted.
With a snap, Zhou Wencai folded his folding fan. He stared at Wang Bapi’s eyes with an ambiguous smile. Instead of anger, he laughed. Immediately after, he called out to someone, “Xiao Tong, come here!”
Immediately, an adorable 11 or 12-year-old boy with a round face, a round head, and a slightly round body squeezed through the crowd. He bent over and put his hands on his knees. He asked, panting, “young master, what’s the matter?”
Zhou Wencai noticed the grease on his face and said in a slightly disdainful manner, “how many chicken legs did you eat just now? Look at your greasy face. Bring it over. ”
Xiao Tong immediately said, “Five chicken legs.” Then, he took out a paper bag from his arms unwillingly and said reluctantly, “young master, I only have this chicken leg left. Can I not hand it over?”
Zhou Wencai smacked the child’s head with his folding fan and lectured him, “Eat, eat, eat. All you know is to eat. Look at you. What do you look like now? Even pigs aren’t as fat as you.”
“But I love to eat.” Xiao Tong lowered his head and said softly, “Also, I’m not as fat as a pig.”
Zhou Wencai seemed to be a little angry as he said, “you still dare to talk back. You’re so caught up in your gluttony that you didn’t even realize your young master is being bullied.”
Xiao Tong’s heart trembled. He looked around with a sharp gaze and shouted, “who is it? Who dares to bully my young master?”
“It’s him!” Zhou Wencai pointed at Wang Bapi and said, “this person wants to teach me a lesson on Dad’s behalf!”
Xiao Tong was furious. He walked up and grabbed Wang Bapi’s collar. He wasn’t as tall as Wang Bapi so he yanked Wang Bapi down to shout at him. “Who are you to teach our young master a lesson on the county magistrate’s behalf? Do you want to die?” Then, he threw a punch at Wang Bapi’s face.
Xiao Tong was surprisingly strong because his punch sent Wang Bapi flying to the ground. There was a loud thud. The ground was covered with bluestone bricks. This was a tragedy for Wang Bapi. He didn’t wear many layers since it was summer. The ground was hard, so his fall injured him immediately.
However, the real tragedy was what Xiao Tong told him.
Zhou Wencai was actually County Magistrate Zhou’s only son?!
Even the surrounding crowd was shocked.
“This young master is actually the county magistrate’s son. No wonder he’s not afraid of offending Wang Bapi.”
“Haha. Wang Bapi has lorded over us all this while because his sister is the magistrate’s concubine. But now he’s really done for.”
“I heard that the county Magistrate only has one son. He adores his son a lot. To think that Wang Dapi dares to offend his son. He even wanted to teach the young master on the magistrate’s behalf. He must be crazy!”
Wang Bapi’s subordinates immediately escaped. They didn’t care about the screaming Wang Bapi on the ground. They only worked for Wang Bapi because Wang Bapi’s sister was the county magistrate’s concubine. However, this time, Wang Bapi had directly offended the magistrate’s son. Wang Bapi should consider himself lucky if the magistrate didn’t tear him apart.
This was Wang Bapi’s fault for finding trouble with the young master.
Everyone knew that Wang Bapi’s days were numbered.
Therefore, those who had been bullied by Wang Bapi in the past finally found an outlet to vent their anger. They began to punch and kick him.
Lin Yuelan pouted and was about to leave with little twelve.
“Hey, lady,” Zhou Wencai immediately called out to Lin Yuelan, “I’ve already rescued you from your predicament. Aren’t you going to thank me?”
Lin Yuelan said with a smile, “Young master Zhou, I didn’t ask you to rescue me. Even if you don’t come to my rescue, I can save myself.”
