Back to 1978

Chapter 187: Who are you, Brother?
Xie Hushan took Yang Liming to the supply and marketing cooperative to pick up the gift he had prepared.

In the eyes of Xie Hushan, who slept on the same kang with the pretty boy Yang Limin for two months, Yang Limin was a rather boring person with only two hobbies.

The number one hobby is reading, just like him. This is a hobby that Yang Limin developed in his youth. When he learned that Xie Hushan had brought back a pile of books from the Yaoshan Xinhua Bookstore, the happiest person was not Taozi, but Yang Limin.

In this way, he could come to Xie Hushan's house every now and then to read books.

Yang Liming's second hobby is photography, which can be seen from the fact that he often asks reporters from the Bingyang Daily to help take photos for everyone. This hobby was developed after Yang started working.

Previously, Yang Liming worked in the county. Whenever there was anything happening in the unit, this young comrade was responsible for holding the camera and taking various photos of the leaders during activities. This also gave him the opportunity to tinker with the camera after work. He often thought about how to make the photos look better, and gradually he fell in love with the feeling of recording everything with photos.

Unfortunately, after I came to work at the grassroots level, this hobby was forced to stop. After all, there is no habit in the countryside to use cameras to take pictures of leaders to record their work.

Even if Secretary Yin wanted to take pictures, the commune didn't have a camera. The work in the commune was different from that in the county. They had to deal with farmers all day long. It would be better to use the money to buy some farm tools for the commune's agricultural machinery station so that everyone would respect the leader from the bottom of their hearts.

That is why Yang Liming always asked reporters to help take photos during the busy farming seasons such as wheat harvest and autumn harvest. Although it was to help farmers take photos as souvenirs, he also wanted to take the opportunity to have some fun playing with the Seagull cameras used by his familiar reporters.

He himself has never had a camera. When he first went to the grassroots level and lived in Xie Hushan's house, Yang Liming boasted to Xie Hushan that if he saved up a year's salary by not eating or drinking, the first thing he would do was to buy a Peony Camera or a Plum Blossom Camera.

It shows how poor this guy is. He doesn't even dare to think about buying a domestic Seagull camera. He can only dream of using his salary to buy a cheaper, low-end Plum camera or Peony camera.

As a result, more than a year has passed and there is still no sign of his Peony camera. The main reason is that there is not much left after the monthly salary. In that era, commune cadres had to visit rural families from time to time and have heart-to-heart talks with the masses to ensure that the grassroots masses could understand the country's policies and see whether the policies could be supported by the masses. If the masses did not understand, they had to have heart-to-heart talks and explain the policies to the masses, why the country should implement a certain policy and what benefits the implementation of this policy would bring to the masses.

It is unreasonable for a state official to go to a fellow villager's home for a meal and chat, to do so empty-handed. Not to mention Yang Liming, even Yin Qianfeng, the commune secretary, knew not to go empty-handed when he went to Xie Hushan's home for a meal, so he brought two bottles of Xifeng liquor to avoid being gossiped about behind the back by the masses.

Over the past year or so, national policies have changed a lot. On average, commune cadres have to visit at least four or five households each month, and contribute a quarter of their salary to the supply and marketing cooperatives in exchange for some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar or other non-staple foods that are commonly used in the homes of the masses as door-to-door gifts.

So Xie Hushan took advantage of Lao Yang's wedding and asked Cao Tianbao to help buy a fully equipped Nikon F2-H camera in Hong Kong Island.

As an uncle, it would not be appropriate for Xie Hushan to give the young couple something too daily-useful. The couple have both parents and they do not need help from an uncle like him to buy the three major items.

As an uncle, it is appropriate for him to give a toy to his nephew when there is some happy event, so that he can simply find some happiness.

Xie Hushan didn't know how to take photos, but all he asked Cao Tianbao was to buy the best one. Cao Tianbao didn't know how to take photos either, so in the end, Cao Tianbao asked Lin the translator, who lived a more middle-class life, to help him choose the camera.

Translator Lin was willing to spend money for Xie Hushan. She probably thought that the most expensive thing and the foreign product must be the best.

This professional-grade camera, which was only launched last year, is priced at HK$11,000 in Hong Kong Island, which is more than RMB 2,000 according to the bank's exchange rate. It has been on sale for a whole year, and only more than 20 units have been sold in the entire Hong Kong Island. It can be seen how high-end it is.

When he was taking the camera, it happened that the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhang Wenzhen, had arranged several employees of the supply and marketing cooperative to write slogans on the wall of the compound. He and several employees took advantage of their cigarette break to come over to see Yang Liming's new camera, and clamored for Yang Liming to take a picture for them.

Yang Limin fiddled with the camera carefully. He did not pick up the camera and readily agreed as before. Instead, he looked at Zhang Wenzheng with an embarrassed expression:

"Wait a minute, let me study it. I haven't understood the instructions yet."

Then he looked at Xie Hushan and said, "How much does this camera cost? Why don't we return it? It's too expensive. The Hongmei camera sold in the state-owned department store in our county is quite good."

Zhang Wen was smoking a cigarette nearby. He had no intention of promoting the products of his own supply and marketing system, and took the initiative to expose his own shortcomings:

"No photo studio wants that Hongmei crap. If you can't afford Seagull, you'd rather buy Peony or Huaxia than Hongmei. It's just a showpiece. It just looks like a camera."

"Besides, if Hu San gives you something, just accept it. What are you afraid of? The whole team knows that you two have a good relationship. You sleep on the same kang and wear the same pants. Does he need to give you a gift when he asks you to do something? Besides, as a Youth League Committee Secretary, what can he ask you for? Ask you to recruit him into the Youth League?"

"Old Zhang, I used to think it was unfair for you to be exiled, but now I find it is not unfair at all. You really don't know how to speak in front of the leaders. Even if my nephew ranks low, he is still a commune leader. How can you, a small director of a subordinate system, speak like that? What do you mean by "it's a bullshit..." I tell you, when the calendars are produced, you will know how Old Yang can use bullshit to hold you back." Xie Hushan said from the side after hearing Zhang Wenzhen's words.

Yang Limin is a very vengeful person. Every time Xie Hushan cheated him out of his meal ticket, he was determined to get it back. How dare Lao Zhang say anything against him? Once the calendars are produced and sell well and become a hot commodity, Xie Hushan estimates that Yang Limin will squeeze Lao Zhang so hard that he will dance naked in the street.

"How much is it?" Yang Limin asked Xie Hushan again. Xie Hushan choked:
"Don't ask me. You can't afford it with your salary, and you can't return it. What's the point of telling you how much it costs? I'm giving you this camera, not because I want you to do anything for me, but mainly to prevent others from taking advantage of your hobby, offering bribes, and dragging you into trouble."

Yang Liming really had no idea how much this thing was worth. As a young cadre in the commune, he couldn't even find the place in China that sold such cameras. But just from the packaging, he felt that this camera could not be a cheap item and it would be a waste of money to him.

As a grassroots cadre, he would at most take pictures of farmers in the commune courtyard or in the fields after work. It was not worth using such an expensive camera. If he accidentally knocked or scratched the lens, he would have nowhere to buy spare parts.

Hearing Xie Hushan's concern about someone offering him a bribe, Yang Limin laughed and said, "I am a small commune Youth League Committee secretary. No one has ever given me a camera or even film as a gift."

"It should be available next year, so I will fill this gap first. Being expensive has its advantages. My eldest brother said that when the salesperson heard that he wanted to buy this thing, his attitude towards him was completely different from that of buying an ordinary camera. He checked his household registration and registered his identity and address, saying that his VIP information would be sent back to the company headquarters. In the future, whenever the company launches the latest professional cameras, they will contact him first, mail him the information, and he can order it first." Xie Hushan said to Yang Limin at the side:
"My eldest brother also said that if a new camera is released in the future, he will borrow money at high interest to buy it and send it to me. So those who want to curry your favor should give up their idea. You will never lack cameras in the future. This is because your uncle is taking great pains to protect you."

Yang Liming loaded the film, adjusted the lens, then motioned to Zhang Wenzhen and several people from the supply and marketing cooperative to stand against the wall. He adjusted the angle and pressed the shutter with a "click".

On the wall behind Lao Zhang and the others, the slogans previously quoted from the quotations had been painted white and covered up, and replaced with more open propaganda slogans such as "race against time, work hard and fast", "achieve modernization, face the world, and move towards the future", and "start from now and march towards the four modernizations".

Although reform and opening up have not yet brought about much change in material terms for rural people, everyone can clearly feel that the atmosphere has changed.

The social atmosphere became more relaxed, and many spiritual and cultural aspects were opened up first. The most obvious change was the movies shown by the commune projectionists in the countryside and the radio dramas broadcast by the Yaoshan District Radio Station.

In the past, people in the countryside watched movies during the slack season, and the projectionist would just play the same military teaching films over and over again. Occasionally, he would show a couple of North Korean movies, which was considered a treat for everyone. Sometimes, even though there were good movies to watch, they just didn't dare to show them for fear of making a mistake.

As a result, after the autumn harvest this year, when the projectionist was showing an open-air movie for the Zhongping Brigade, he directly played a domestic film that was praised by everyone.

It is an anti-spy film, the name of the movie is "Black Triangle".

Many anti-spy films have been broadcast in the past, but not everyone is very supportive of them. Not to mention adults, even children don't like to watch them. They are not as good as old-fashioned war films such as "Tunnel Warfare", "Land Mine Warfare" and "The Battle of South and North". The main reason is that those anti-spy films in the past were relatively stereotyped. The protagonist would always appear in the image of Zhu Shimao with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked righteous. The villain would either have shifty eyes or be cruel and insidious. There was no need for the protagonist to be an anti-spy. As soon as the villain appeared with that look, the folks watching the movie could tell at a glance that the other party was the villain.

Moreover, the plot is simple and the enemies and friends are clearly distinguished.

In war movies, the enemy and us are clearly distinguished and the scenes are at least enjoyable to watch. However, in anti-spy movies, the enemy and us are clearly distinguished and the villains are always at a disadvantage. The confrontation is naturally not as strong as in war movies. Therefore, in comparison, anti-spy movies are not as popular as war movies.

But this "Black Triangle" is different. It devotes a lot of space to describing the villain, giving the villain enough roles, and the image portrayed even far exceeds that of the protagonist.

The old spy selling popsicles was really scary. After watching the movie, a large number of children were afraid to buy popsicles from older women. They only dared to buy them from men for fear that the old lady would poison them. It can be seen how deep the impression left was.

Moreover, the daughter is a good person and the mother is a bad person. In addition to the enemy conflict, there are also family entanglements. If this was filmed before 76, the entire crew would have been arrested.

As for the radio stations, the radio dramas in previous years were either "Sunny Days", "The Story of Xiangyang Courtyard", or "The Fiery Golden Robot" and "The Red Flag", which were played in a loop countless times. This year, for the first time, they broadcast the dubbed dramas "The Death Light on the Coral Island" and "A Piece of Steak".

The farmers are not fools. When they see that movies and radio programs that would have been banned in the past can now be broadcast for everyone to watch, even if they don't understand it out loud, they can understand it in their hearts. The days when they had to ask for instructions in the morning and report in the evening to their portraits are over.

Even Daxiu and other junior high school students used clichés to make up the word count when writing their essays.

It turns out that when writing an essay, one must include one or two quotations like "Arm the mind, the tide of education revolution is unstoppable" which still have the influence of F4.

When children write essays now, they write things like “The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee told us that we must study hard to realize the four modernizations” or “The convening of the National Science Conference made me realize that I want to be a scientist when I grow up.”

Not long after Xie Hushan's camera was delivered, Yang Liming and Lu Yuan's wedding was held in late autumn.

Old Yang did not deliberately ask Xie Hushan to arrange a jeep to go with him to pick up the bride. It was just four young colleagues of his who had a good relationship with him when he was in the county committee, plus several militiamen who had a good relationship with Old Yang, including Xie Hushan from Zhongping, who went to Yaoshan as a group on bicycles.

Yang Limin was wearing a black Zhongshan suit and riding a bicycle with Lv Yuan, who was wearing a red hairpin. Xie Hushan and other friends who were picking up the bride were responsible for carrying Lv Yuan's dowry bedding, washbasins and other things. They followed behind him and Lv Yuan and shouted all the way. Whenever Yang Limin slowed down, someone would shout at the top of his voice:
"Lao Yang, can you do this? Let me give you a push from behind."

"If you can't carry the bride, let us help you. We are all brothers! We won't mind the hard work!"

As for the wedding scene, Yang Liming's parents set up a tent downstairs in their own building and placed fifteen tables.

Fifteen tables of banquets were definitely considered a grand affair in Bingyang County at that time, because many city workers held wedding banquets for their children, and five and ten tables were two thresholds, and many weddings did not exceed these two numbers.

If the wedding banquet can have five tables, it means that the man’s family has many relatives who come to visit and the family is large, so the girl does not have to worry about the couple being bullied by outsiders after they marry.

After all, it is not convenient to attend wedding banquets in this era, unlike 2024, when you can easily attend the banquet by driving or taking the high-speed rail. Relatives who live far away often need to travel one or two days in advance. Those who can come without hesitation must be real relatives.

If a wedding banquet can have ten tables, it means that in addition to a large family and many relatives, the groom's parents have a very harmonious relationship with their colleagues. Being able to get along with five tables of co-workers proves that his parents are quite successful in the unit and have good relationships with people, and everyone is willing to come and show their support.

Fifteen tables is a scene that can only be held when factory leaders or even county officials host a banquet.

Of the fifteen tables of guests at Yang Liming's wedding, only eleven were for Yang's parents, and four were for Yang Liming's own connections.

The leaders of Zhongping Commune sat at one table, the cadres of Zhongping Brigade sat at one table, the young militiamen of Zhongping sat at one table, and the former colleagues and friends from the county committee sat at one table.

Being able to entertain four tables of guests at such a young age made Lao Yang's parents' co-workers praise them for having a good son with a bright future. Before the meal started, the old couple looked like they were drunk. Looking at Lao Yang and Lu Yuan, their faces were full of tipsiness and pride.

The master of ceremonies at the wedding was Yang Liming, an old leader of the county party committee. He came during the lunch break to preside over the simple ceremony, blessed the newlyweds, drank a glass of wine, and then hurried back.

The witness who was responsible for displaying the marriage certificate in public to prove that Yang Limin and Lu Yuan could legally sleep in the same bed in the future was Yang Limin's current leader Yin Qianfeng.

Although Jiao Peng, the county's United Front Work Department director, and the county's Overseas Chinese Federation leaders did not have time to come, they specially sent a driver to deliver a gift.

Others may not know, but Xie Hushan knows that the reason why Old Yang can be so respectful is not because of his identity as the secretary of the Youth League Committee of the commune, but because of his part-time job as the director of the offset printing factory. At the banquet, Yang Limin and Lu Yuan, the husband and wife, acted very cunningly and tried to cheat a few times.

At the beginning, they toasted each table one by one. After they finished toasting the first few tables, these two people came to Xie Hushan's table and said hypocritically that they wanted to toast them first. Then they were scolded and ran away by Xie Hushan and the whole table. After a while, they wanted to toast again, but seeing that no one was giving them face, they waited until they finished toasting the guests at other tables, and then walked to Xie Hushan's table like a couple rushing to the execution ground.

"Uncle..." Yang Liming brought Lu Yuan to the table, looked at the people sitting around the table with smirks on their faces, took the initiative to admit defeat, and for the first time ever, used the name of elder to address Xie Hushan.

Xie Hushan nodded comfortably with his eyes narrowed. "It's not easy, nephew. You also have times when you give in. I was afraid that I would get you and your wife drunk today, right? You were the only one who was shouting just now? Did Xiao Lu shout? I didn't hear it..."

"Xie Hushan, you still have to marry Taozi next year." Lu Yuan looked at Xie Hushan sitting there with a big horse and a golden sword, and threatened him with gritted teeth.

Xie Hushan opened his eyes, looked at the people in front of the table, and said loudly:

"Scare me, the bride is scaring me, did you hear me? I can't drink this wine."

After saying this, he took the wine glass away, folded his arms and stopped talking. While the couple wasn't paying attention, he winked at Han Hongbing beside him.

Han Hongbing stood up and gave Yang Limin and his wife a sly smile, then said:
"Old Yang, today is your and your sister-in-law's wedding day. Why are you letting your sister-in-law scare us first?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, uncle, I was wrong, brothers, I was wrong." Lu Yuan knew that something bad was going to happen when Xie Hushan was not frightened by her threats. She immediately acted pitiful and bowed to the group of people to beg for mercy, while pouring wine for everyone.

Han Hongbing coughed, and everyone at the table turned their glasses over. Han Hongbing smiled at the two of them and said:
"Hehehe, Lao Yang, sister-in-law, don't worry, we can't have any bad intentions, we are all brothers."

Yang Limin looked at the crowd and cursed, "Why should I be so damn confident? Listen to your laughter. Doesn't it sound like you are not going to make things difficult for us?"

Han Hongbing said, "Listen to me first. We rode our bicycles with you to pick up your new wife early in the morning and we were sweating all over. Is that true?"

"Yes." Yang Liming did not deny that these people indeed accompanied him to pick up Lu Yuan.

"Then I'll ask you to toast a glass of wine to the brothers. Is that not too much of a challenge for you?"

"Not counting."

"Okay, then fill it up and toast us."

Yang Limin went to get Xie Hushan's wine glass, and Xie Hushan did not stop him. Yang Limin did not encounter any difficulties. He first poured Xie Hushan a glass of soda, and then filled the glasses with wine for others. The process was so smooth that he and Lu Yuan could hardly believe it.

Xie Hushan couldn't drink today. He had to drive after the banquet to help Yang Liming take Lu Yuan's uncle and aunt back to Yaoshan.

But not drinking doesn't mean not to make things difficult for others. These bastards were so honest today that they let me go so easily?

Yang Liming was a little nervous. He picked up the wine glass and said a lot of soft words to express his gratitude. Then everyone stood up and clinked glasses with him and drank the wine in one gulp.

Yang Limin's eyes widened due to the spiciness. Xie Hushan considerately asked him to pick up some food with chopsticks and eat a few bites to relieve the heat. This made Yang Limin feel a little relieved. Newcomers at a table are most afraid of guests making things difficult for them and refusing to drink the wine they toasted them. The reason why Yang Limin ran over to toast in advance was that he hoped to get away with it, fearing that these people would deliberately make things difficult for him at the end.

But now that the wine has been finished, the other party doesn't seem to have any signs of making things difficult for him.

"You guys eat, I'll go..." Yang Limin wanted to take Lv Yuan and run away quickly, but when he mentioned leaving, everyone was immediately dissatisfied. Han Hongbing said, "Where are you going? It's not over yet, what are you thinking about?"

Yang Limin raised his glass and signaled to everyone: "I have finished my toast."

"That's you, sister-in-law. Did you drink just now? Did other tables let you two toast? Didn't we let you represent alone just now?" Han Hongbing said righteously.

“……”Yang Limin nodded.

Han Hongbing looked at Lv Yuan and said, "Let's go to our table. Sister-in-law, you saw me riding along with you carrying your dowry. I didn't slack off or fall behind. All the things I carried were yours. So, since you didn't toast with Lao Yang, why don't you light a cigarette for everyone? That's not too much of a problem, right?"

"No, lighting a cigarette is nothing." Lu Yuan said cheerfully.

Lv Yuan picked up the cigarette and passed it around, then used Yang Limin's lighter to light up the cigarette for Xie Hushan, who was closest to her. However, Han Hongbing leaned over and blew out the lighter with a "puff":

"Sister-in-law, isn't that inappropriate?"

"Aren't you lighting a cigarette?" Lu Yuan looked surprised.

Han Hongbing said, "Everyone at this table is Lao Yang's buddy. Why should they light Commander Xie's cigarette first?"

"Then I'll light it for you first." Lu Yuan took out the lighter and lit a cigarette for Han Hongbing.

"Puff~" Chen Daxi came over and blew out the cigarette:
"Sister-in-law, why did you light the cigarette for Chief of Staff Han first? The country has said that there is no hierarchy among people. How could you do this?"

"It's over. We've fallen into the trap. We can't leave. What Han Laoer just said was that he wanted you to light a cigarette for them together." Yang Liming sat in his seat, breathing out the smell of alcohol and smiling bitterly.

After hearing what Yang Limin said, Lv Yuan asked in astonishment: "Ah? But how can you light more than ten cigarettes at once?"

"Take your time to think about it and eat some food, sister-in-law. Don't be in a hurry. Order when you think of an idea." A group of people said with a deliberate smile, smoking cigarettes in their mouths.

Lu Yuan doesn't smoke, so she could only look at Yang Liming. However, Yang Liming had drunk a lot of alcohol, so his brain wasn't working and he could only smile foolishly.

"Uncle..."

"Hey! Nephew's wife." Xie Hushan laughed and looked at Lu Yuan: "You remember me now?"

"I didn't call you!" Lu Yuan said to Xie Hushan unhappily, "I called my uncle."

Xie Hushan turned around and found that Lu Yuan's uncle and aunt had finished their meal and were standing not far away, looking at them with a smile. Seeing Lu Yuan asking for help, this gentleman uncle in his thirties responded humorously:
"Just call me Third Uncle. Isn't your old uncle sitting next to you? Third Uncle doesn't smoke, so he can't help you."

With the girl's relatives present, the group of people could no longer make things difficult for her. Xie Hushan pulled out a wooden flute from under the table and handed it to Lu Yuan:

"Put a cigarette on it and have Lao Yang suck hard on the flute. Be responsible and I'll take your uncle there."

"How wicked, Xie Hushan, this idea must have been yours, how could you be so mean." Lv Yuan was holding the flute, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:

"There's such a big hole underneath, it's impossible to light it up no matter how hard you suck."

"Husband and wife should cooperate. You two have two mouths and one hole cannot be filled. Thank your third uncle. He is an expert and knows how to help you out." Xie Hushan stood up with the car keys and called Lu Yuan's uncle and aunt to get in the car.

When he started the car, he saw Lu Yuan and Yang Liming each holding a flute and lighting a cigarette.

"Uncle, aunt, where do you live?" After the car got on the road, Xie Hushan asked the two people in the back seat with a smile: "I'm sorry to make you laugh. We are used to quarreling with Lao Yang."

Lu Yuan's uncle said, "That's good. A wedding wouldn't be lively without some noise. As long as it's not excessive, no one would be really angry. We both work at the Yaoshan Automobile Manufacturing Plant Technical School."

"What about this school? I haven't heard of it before. I know where the Yaoshan Automobile Manufacturing Plant is. Is the technical school also nearby?"

Yaoshan has its own automobile manufacturing plant, which was built in 1970. At the beginning, it mainly imitated the BJ212 jeep. Later, it was found that the imitations made by itself were too different from the originals, and no unit was willing to purchase the Yaoshan 212. It began to imitate the NJ-130 single-row seat truck. The process of NJ-130 was relatively simple, and the quality of the original was too poor, so the imitations produced by manufacturers in various regions were more reliable in quality, so the sales were good. The Yaoshan Automobile Manufacturing Plant sold more than a thousand 130s in two years and was even reported in national newspapers.

After the earthquake, the factory was rebuilt and the company began to develop and produce "anti-seismic" brand double-row light trucks. The sales of the whole vehicle were average, but the spare parts, such as the chassis, suspension, etc., sold very well. Occasionally, they could even export them to earn some foreign exchange, so it was considered a relatively good state-owned enterprise in Yaoshan.

The reason why spare parts sell well is mainly because Yaoshan has no shortage of steel, the materials used are solid, and they are willing to invest. Automobile manufacturers in many places buy chassis produced by Yaoshan Automobile and assemble their own brand cars.

"Just send us to the manufacturing plant. The formal classes haven't started yet. It was only established two months ago." said my uncle.

Xie Hushan drove the two men to the gate of the Medicinal Food Automobile Manufacturing Factory on Shengli Road in Shannan District. The two men got out of the car, and Xie Hushan also got out of the car. He lit a cigarette and wanted to straighten his back and stretch his body.

He had just lit up his cigarette when he saw a man and a woman arguing loudly with each other across the guard in the duty room at the factory gate. Lu Yuan's uncle walked over to try to stop the fight but was pushed by the excited young man and took two steps back. Seeing this scene, Xie Hushan took a few steps towards the door. After all, he was the uncle of Lao Yang's wife Lu Yuan, and if something really happened, he couldn't pretend not to see it.

He took a closer look and only saw the young man's back, but he could see the young woman's face clearly: she was the literary girl that Han Hongbing had been thinking about at the Xinhua Bookstore, Yaoshan Xiaoqiao.

Today, the girl was wearing a bright red sweater and a ponytail. Her usually literary and artistic face was filled with anger. She supported Lu Yuan's uncle, protecting him behind her, and pointed at the young man and cursed him, using extremely harsh words.

This young man must have done something very immoral to force a literary young woman to become a shrew.

Xie Hushan walked in from the gate, patted the back of the young man who was arguing with Xiao Qiao and rolling up his sleeves, ready to fight. The young man turned around, and Xie Hushan punched him on the temple, knocking him down, and then dragged him out by one of his legs.

After stuffing the person into the jeep and tying his hands and feet with his belt and shoelaces, Xie Hushan sat in the driver's seat and looked at Uncle Lu Yuan and Miss Xiao Qiao who had chased after him for a few steps:
"It's okay. I'll take him to a cool place to sober up."

"No, big brother, who are you? You are so fierce that you just come up and beat that idiot to the ground without asking any questions?" Miss Xiao Qiao stared at Xie Hushan who suddenly came over and started beating people, and asked in shock.

"Don't call me big brother. I think with your temperament, it will be difficult for you to become my sister-in-law. Han Laoer will go crazy." Xie Hushan pressed his arm against the car window and smiled at him:

"As for how fierce my eldest brother is, it may be because his name is Zhongping Hu San'er."

(End of this chapter)
