Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 103 Start a war and clean up the mess!
The child tugged at the adult's arm and shook him, muttering, "Grandma, I want to eat eggs, too. He can eat them. Cook them for me when you get home."

The boy's grandmother looked depressed. She was saving the eggs and wanted to buy daily necessities so that she could eat them wherever she wanted.

Adding all these troubles to the mix, my headache still hurts!
"Don't make a fuss here. I want to eat eggs. I also want to eat dragon meat. Do you have any?"

Tan Shaoyang looked at the scene in front of him with a smile on his lips. He admitted that it was a bit deliberate.

The child would run outside and talk nonsense, it must be guided by adults, otherwise how could a little kid know that Zhang Shaojie was adopted and say that he was a jinx!

It is really sad that adults have such thoughts.

After all, Zhang Shaojie is only a boy of twelve or thirteen years old. It is still difficult for him to support the burden of life at this age.

He didn't consider whether such rumors would bring down Zhang Shaojie, he just wanted to add to the jokes for himself.

Since it's no big deal to join in the fun, don't blame him for turning things upside down.

Tan Shaoyang gave them one day, and if they didn't clean the door, they couldn't blame him for being merciful.

As long as you can live comfortably, it doesn't matter if you cause trouble to others.

After everyone left, Tan Shaoyang looked at Zhang Xingning and asked, "Do you have an electric fish machine at home? Go get some fish for us."

Zhang Xingning showed excitement on his face, and asked with a little doubt, "What is an electric fish machine?"

Tan Shaoyang: “…” He didn’t have the time to prepare, and was too lazy to give him some popular science.

"Is there any way to get some small fish?"

Zhang Xingning nodded, "There is a ditch with a lot of stone fish. The meat is delicious. If it is fried, it will be even more delicious."

"If one chases and one catches, we can always catch some."

It is better to act than to think, so the two of them went over.

As for Zhang Shaojie, who had not fully recovered from his illness, he could only stay at home, waiting for the two to return.

They are all people who act very quickly. When they came back, they brought back half a bucket of fish. They were all small in size. After cleaning them, they fried them until crispy and tasted amazing.

Tan Shaoyang fried out all the oil from the fat, and the fried meat was fragrant and tasted very refreshing.

Zhang Xingning was swallowing his saliva frequently beside him.

"Third brother, this smells so good. I'm craving it just by smelling it. Can I eat it?"

It's no wonder he asked. If this was left for Zhang Shaojie, he could leave as soon as possible to avoid being unable to bear the smell.

Tan Shaoyang glanced at him, puzzled, "If you can't eat it, why cook it? You don't have to eat it if you don't want to."

Zhang Xingning decisively went over and waited. Anyone who doesn't eat the food is a fool.

People who often eat meat behave like this, not to mention those who are tempted by the aroma.

Sure enough, after a while, the children's chattering could be heard.

It's nothing more than smelling the aroma of meat and wanting to eat meat.

Not only that, Tan Shaoyang also fried the fish until crispy. Each person was given a bowl of white rice with meat and crispy fish on top, and they sat down at the end of the alley to eat.

The children passed by and looked at him eagerly, so Tan Shaoyang deliberately lowered the dishes and chopsticks so that they could see it clearly.

“The fried fish is so delicious!”

"The greasy fat is so delicious!"

"Children, did your grandmother give you some stew?"

The children swallowed and shook their heads. Except for the meat on New Year's Day, they hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

Tan Shaoyang smiled and sighed, "I didn't give you any stewed meat to eat, that's too stingy!"

"You're just gossiping about other people, aren't you working hard to make money?"

"If you ask me, you are not as good as Zhang Shaojie. His father is so good to them. He works hard to make money and buys medicine for him when he is sick."

"On the other hand, you can't even have a meal of meat. Are you biological children? How come you are worse than adopted ones?"

"You are so stingy and mean to me. You don't even seem like my biological children. You don't even live as well as the adopted ones!"

In a short while, the children started to fight.

The children who had just surrounded them with greedy eyes, ran back in the blink of an eye, clamoring for the adults to stew meat for them!
Zhang Xingning watched from the side and gave him a thumbs up in admiration, "Third brother, this trick of yours is really great!"

"It can divert their attention and allow them to go back home and make a fuss. It's really killing two birds with one stone!"

No matter who you offend, you must not offend his third brother. His mind is really quick and it is not easy for ordinary people to offend him.

Tan Shaoyang stood up, patted his butt and went home. His goal had been achieved and there was no need to stand here in the cold wind anymore.

"They've had a hard time this year and are short of money. They want to divert the children's attention and put the blame on Zhang Shaojie. So let's give him a taste of his own medicine."

"Let the children make a fuss about it, so that they don't have to do things without any sense of propriety. When they are exhausted by the fuss, they won't have time to watch other people's jokes."

"If they still don't know how to behave, I don't mind adding fuel to the fire and letting them experience what a chaotic life is like."

At this time, the children's noise when they come home really gives the adults a headache. Not only did they not make any money from coal mining this year, but they also delayed the harvest, and the sugarcane has not yet been harvested in the fields!

Not only did I not make any money, but I also ended up in a state of disgrace.

The children were making a lot of noise, so I wanted to divert their attention, but I didn't expect that the one I met was not someone I could easily deal with. I hit a wall.

"What are you arguing about? Who can eat meat often? It's good enough to be full."

"Stop arguing. They only eat meat once a day. They can't eat it every day."

"So what if Zhang Shaojie has found his relatives? The little brat is eating me to death. It's the best time to eat. Maybe he'll get tired of it in a couple of days and stay away from me."

"Besides, he is a sickly person with a weak body. He needs medical expenses every now and then. Who can afford to support him?"

"It's just a show, but in the end, it doesn't matter."

As a result, Tan Shaoyang let them experience what it means to make the food fragrant and delicious when it is time for dinner.

Eat pork today and buy chicken to stew tomorrow.

The aroma of meat wafted in the air for several days.

Not only children, but adults also feel miserable. Their stomachs rumble and they feel extremely hungry.

I wanted to run and ask Tan Shaoyang to stop stewing the meat. I couldn't help smelling the aroma of the meat.

Tan Shaoyang didn't care what others thought. Zhang Shaojie was weak and should eat more good food. Only by keeping the body strong would he not get sick often. No children dared to come to the house to make trouble.

Tan Shaoyang is tall and strong, which makes people afraid. Even adults dare not offend him, let alone children.

They all wanted to take a detour and were unwilling to get close to this side, for fear of being caught and beaten by him.

It was late at night when several people appeared outside Zhang Shaojie's door at the same time. When they saw each other, they were stunned for a moment.

Among them was the boy’s grandmother. When she saw others looking at her, she looked embarrassed for a moment, then she frowned and looked unfriendly.

The people who were traveling with her acted as if they didn't notice her expression and joked, "Didn't you say it had nothing to do with your grandson? Why did you come all the way here?"

The boy's grandmother glared at them and said sarcastically, "You are here too, we are the same, so don't try to make fun of each other."

"Clean the door quickly and leave!"

If someone sees me, I will lose all my dignity.

In this way, no one gained any advantage in this round.

They didn't want to come, but it seemed like Tan Shaoyang was not someone who could be easily fooled. What if he really reported the matter to the police?
Who can bear the consequences if the children are taken away from home?
They didn't dare to provoke anyone. Tan Shaoyang was not the kind of person who would settle things peacefully. What if he showed no mercy?
It's better to be safe than sorry. No one would joke with children.

In this way, they all started cleaning in tacit understanding, and wiped the door panels clean until they were spotless. Then they dispersed silently.

These are all shameful things, there is no need to talk about them, just leave when you are done!

Tan Shaoyang lived in Zhang Shaojie's house. When he woke up and saw the clean door panel, he smiled with satisfaction.

It's typical of him to bully the weak and fear the strong!
Seeing that Zhang Shaojie was easy to bully, they kept bullying him.

If you act tougher, no one will dare to say a word. You think you are so capable, but you are just like this.

Zhang Shaojie saw his movements and followed him over. Looking at the clean door panel, he was silent for a moment.

Those people were all very articulate, and they didn't expect that they would be really threatened, so they cleaned the door panels in the middle of the night. This was something they could not even imagine before.

"Brother Yang, they are very afraid of you."

Tan Shaoyang shook his head, "You are wrong, they are not afraid of me, they are afraid of being found by the police and causing trouble!"

“People tend to seek benefits and avoid harm. Once they are threatened, even the toughest people will make the best decision after weighing the pros and cons.”

"Don't worry about them. If they continue to curse you, tell me and we won't let them off easily."

"You can't encourage the arrogance of these people. If you retreat, they will only press forward. As long as you become stronger, they will not dare to control you."

"Go back and prepare breakfast! You must eat a bowl of egg custard in the morning. I hope you will be strong next time I see you."

"Don't think about saving. If there are no more eggs, I'll ask Brother Xingning to bring them to you. Only when you are strong will you not suffer from illness."

"Wouldn't it be nice to use the money you spend on medicine to buy food?"

Zhang Shaojie nodded, and as if afraid that his job would be taken away from him, he quickly slipped into the kitchen.

"Brother Yang, please sit down for a while. I will prepare breakfast."

Tan Shaoyang: “…” People who have not been treated badly by society are kind and well-behaved, and more hardworking than anyone else!
"Don't worry, I won't compete with you."

The atmosphere here was harmonious, while on the other side the women gathered together and started talking.

"Did you see how clean Zhang Shaojie's door was? He actually went to clean the door in the middle of the night! He usually shamelessly bullies children, but now he has hit a wall."

"That's right! Those kids are just spoiled by their parents. They usually scold people, but when they meet someone with a strong attitude, they become helpless. They really deserve it!"

"It's pitiful enough that Shaojie's father is gone. Not only do you feel sorry for him, but you even go out of your way to slander him. People like this should be punished like this."

"It's not easy for us to get involved normally, but now Shaojie has someone to protect him, which is the best thing."

"The Tan family comes back quite often. I heard that they built a new house. The family must have saved a lot of money. Shaojie is very lucky. As soon as his adoptive father left, his relatives came to visit him."

"Who says it's not true? Otherwise, he would be sick every now and then. Who could afford to take care of him?"

"So this child is blessed. He is born with someone to protect him and will not let others look down on him at will."

While people were discussing this side, on the other side, the boy’s grandmother was angrily chattering and cursing, and it sounded like she didn’t say a single nice word.

It's just that I heard other people's discussions and felt unhappy, but I didn't dare to run out and yell at them, so this was the only way to relieve my emotions.

Zhang Xingning wanted to join in the fun, so he watched more closely than anyone else. He just took a walk around the village and got all the information he wanted to hear.

Especially when listening to the boy’s grandmother’s aggrieved words, I felt so happy. I let her bully others and now she is reaping the consequences!

After returning to Zhang Shaojie's home, Zhang Xingning followed their description with his hands and feet dancing, and the excited smile on his face was enough to show how excited he was about what happened next.

"Third brother, you are so amazing. You can actually force them to such an extent. Normally, when these gossipy women quarrel with others, everyone is afraid of them."

"Now you can easily control me. I can't believe it!"

Tan Shaoyang was very calm. She was just a village woman. When had she ever seen the police?
A casual threat can make people panic, so there is no need to waste too much energy.

After all, I feel guilty, who can I blame?
"It's just hitting the snake at its most vulnerable part. Isn't that easy?"

"Please keep an eye on it for me. I have to go back."

Those who didn’t go back during the Chinese New Year may have complaints again.

Zhang Shaojie's expression darkened. Although they had only been in contact for a short time, he had developed a sense of dependence on Tan Shaoyang. He was still unhappy when he heard that he was leaving.

Even the delicious egg custard seemed to have no taste.

The voice was a little dull and asked, "Brother Yang, are you going back?"

Tan Shaoyang nodded and said, "I have to go back. Do you want to come with me?"

Tan Shaoyang respected his idea very much and gave him enough time to think about it. After all, he was the one who was separated, and he had the right to decide whether he was willing to return to that home or not.

Zhang Shaojie thought for a moment and shook his head. "It's cold, so I'd better not toss around. I'll just stay at home and take good care of myself. I'll try not to cause any trouble for you!"

Tan Shaoyang was kind to him, but what about others?
After seeing human nature, his subconscious mind will be filled with pessimism, which he cannot control at present.

Tan Shaoyang did not force him. He raised his hand and patted his head, saying in a soothing tone, "Get well soon. School will start after the New Year."

Zhang Shaojie shook his head with a frustrated look on his face. "I'm not in good health. I get sick all the time, so I didn't go to junior high school."

Tan Shaoyang saw the thirst for knowledge in his eyes and comforted him, "Take care of your health, and we'll go get some consultation when school starts."
