He Yubing (hereafter referred to as He Yubing) had actually been listening outside the hanging flower gate for quite some time and was furious.

What the hell is going on?

Wasn't that idiot Zhu a reincarnated kid? Didn't he have memories of his past life? How come he's still acting like a moron, getting bullied like this with people blocking his door? And they're calling him "Uncle," "Second Uncle," and "Sister Qin" so affectionately. Did you reincarnate into a dog's belly? Did you come back to continue being a simp?

Listening to Yi Zhonghai's old clichés about respecting the elderly and caring for the young, and helping each other, along with Jia Zhangshi's increasingly vicious curses and the crying coming from her sister's side room, He Yubing's mind went blank.

They've practically shit on my neck, and I'm still trying to reason with them? Are they planning to be reborn and become their blood bag again?

He was still there, putting up a fierce struggle with them, exchanging insults but refusing to lay a hand on them. Is he even a man? His own sister was being verbally abused at the door, and he was cowering like a turtle. You should be the one to direct the Leshan Giant Buddha.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he flashed into the courtyard, leading to the scene of him wildly slapping Jia Zhangshi. He didn't care if they cursed Sha Zhu, but he couldn't tolerate cursing Yu Shui, even if she was from another world. Anyone who dared to curse her would be beaten to death.

"Big...Big Brother?" Sha Zhu recognized the person before him immediately, his face filled with disbelief. A flood of memories rushed through his mind: his own elder brother, the eldest son of the He family, who had enlisted in the Korean War in 1950 and had been out of contact with them ever since. In his previous life, he hadn't received news of his death until after the storm had passed; he had perished in the border war. He never imagined that in this life, he would return!

Some people recognized him from the start, while others only realized who he was when they heard Sha Zhu call him "Big Brother".

The eldest son of the He family is back!

The eldest son of the He family, who was highly regarded by He Daqing and whose words carried more weight than He Daqing's back in high school, is back!

I heard he went to join the army, so he must have gotten some kind of official position by the time he came back all these years.

This is going to be interesting!

How many simple souls can survive in chaotic times? They were well aware of the schemes of the three stewards and the Jia family over the years; some even actively cooperated to curry favor with Yi Zhonghai. Now that the eldest son of the He family has returned, and is a formidable soldier at that, the situation in this courtyard is hard to predict.

Yi Zhonghai inwardly cried out in alarm.

He had a deep impression of He Yubing. That kid was no pushover back then—a good student, quick-witted, and assertive; He Daqing often had to listen to him. He was completely different from the stubborn and easily manipulated Sha Zhu. His return now would seriously jeopardize his retirement plans!

No, we absolutely cannot let him gain a foothold! We must gather the strength of the three elders and the entire courtyard to extinguish his arrogance. It would be best to completely subdue He Yubing today, and then deal with him slowly. Ideally, we should drive him out of the courtyard. Our retirement plan must not be compromised!

He exchanged a glance with Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui on either side, then adopted the air of an old man and said in a stern voice, "He Yubing! How dare you assault an elder in the compound! Is this how you were educated in the army? Apologize to your Aunt Jia right now! Otherwise, we, the stewards, won't stand for it!"

Liu Haizhong immediately chimed in, "That's right! He Yubing, you came back and immediately assaulted someone without provocation. The nature of your actions is extremely egregious! If this matter isn't resolved satisfactorily for everyone, we, the officials in charge, will have to send you to the police station for legal proceedings!"

"He Yubing, you son of a bitch! You dare hit my mom? I'll kill you!"

Jia Dongxu finally realized that He Yubing had just slapped his own mother. How dare he do that? He immediately rushed out and threw a punch at He Yubing.

The famine had reduced Jia Dongxu to a mere bamboo pole, swaying precariously in the wind. If it weren't for the help from Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu these past two years, his entire family would have starved to death long ago. He had no strength left to beat someone; it was just a momentary outburst of anger.

He Yubing naturally wouldn't bother arguing with a dead man. According to historical trends, this short-lived fellow should be hanging on the wall by the second half of the year. With a clever kick, she sent Jia Dongxu crashing into Jia Zhangshi, who was still sitting on the ground. Ouch! Mother and son tumbled to the ground.

"He Yubing, you, you, you... You're lawless! You've hit someone again! Do you even have any respect for us elders? Do you even have any respect for us managers...?" Yi Zhonghai was furious when he saw his beloved apprentice and elder being beaten, and his finger trembled wildly as he pointed at He Yubing.

He Yubing didn't even lift her eyelids, too lazy to pay attention to the barking of these people, and walked straight to Sha Zhu, who was still in a daze.

"Big brother, you..." Sha Zhu hadn't finished speaking.

"Clap clap clap!"

Several powerful blows landed on Sha Zhu's face.

Everyone present was stunned. What was going on? They had just finished beating Jia Zhangshi, and now they were beating Sha Zhu?

Sha Zhu covered his face, completely dumbfounded. "Big brother, what right did you have to hit me?"

"Why should you? People are bullying you so badly, even when they're blocking your door, stealing your food, and humiliating your sister, and all you can do is talk back! Tell me, shouldn't you slap them?"

"Clap clap clap!" Several more big slaps.

"You fucking coward, why don't you just slap them in the face? You coward!" He Yubing got angrier and angrier as she spoke. "Your own sister was blocked at the door and insulted, and she's going to be sold to the countryside, and you're still like a turtle! How could my He family have a man like you? You're not a man at all!"

As he spoke, he raised his leg and kicked Sha Zhu hard in the stomach.

"Ouch!" Sha Zhu screamed as he was kicked back several steps and landed hard on his backside.

Still not satisfied, He Yubing rushed forward and kicked Sha Zhu several more times, causing him to roll on the ground and scream in agony.

"Useless! Coward! Still so cowardly! What good are you? You should be a woman! Calling you 'pillar' and crying to you makes you forget everything. You're such a damn simp."

"Damn it, bro, I'm not a simp! You can call me whatever you want, just don't call me a simp, or I'll get mad at you!" This silly guy was in excruciating pain from being kicked, but when he heard the word "simp," he immediately reacted, his adrenaline surged, and he lost all feeling of pain. He looked stubborn, as if he would get up and fight back if He Yubing humiliated him again.

"Damn it, you dare talk back? I'll beat you to death today, you piece of trash! You're not a simp, yet you keep calling me 'Sister Qin,' 'Sister Qin,' right? You're not a simp, you don't even have a proper sister at home, but you're using your money and food to feed these other idiots? Go ask around the whole of Beijing, is there anyone as stupid as you? You think you have a good reputation, huh? Even deaf and mute girls would shake their heads when they hear your name, you're trash who can't even find a wife!"

Unfortunately, in the face of overwhelming force, all resistance is futile. The reborn one is no match for the one with the system. In no time, Sha Zhu was kicked to the ground by He Yubing and was rolling around, begging for mercy.
