Courtyard house: Just the right amount of pressure, leaving you bewildered but not brain-damaged.

Yan Bugui was indeed angry, but not to the point of losing his mind.

Choosing to confront Gao Xiaosheng head-on, while not exactly a well-thought-out decision, was at least something I considered.

In his view, the basis for exploiting others is gaining basic respect.

A junior who calls him "Old Deng" every day will certainly not let him take the scallions with his left hand and snatch the garlic with his right.

Gao Xiaosheng, however, crossed the line.

To put it bluntly, this isn't about whether he can gain an advantage; it's more about the safety of his family of six's property and personal safety.

You should know that their family is classified as small business owners.

If there's a troublemaker who uses this to cause trouble every day, his "target ship" might just capsize in the gutter one day.

Gao Xiaosheng was surprised by the unexpected surprise.

His original plan was to lay the groundwork today by forcefully forcing Yan Bugui to back down and creating a situation of irreconcilable hostility, and then to conduct "entrapment" every now and then to frantically increase the number of lottery draws.

Little did they know that Yan Bugui was a stubborn man who was obsessed with money.

"Master, you'll have to carry the things yourself. I'll give you an extra ten thousand yuan later."

"Rain, you follow the master and tell him how to place the furniture."

Gao Xiaosheng turned his head and gave a few instructions, then looked at Yan Bugui with a slight smile.

"I really don't believe we can't get through this door today."

As Gao Xiaosheng spoke, he swayed his head slightly from side to side, his shoulders bobbing up and down, and walked toward Yan Bugui with an air of indifference.

During his undercover work, Gao Xiaosheng's arrogant gait alone led many bandits to mistake him for one of their own.

In their words, the way they walk is something a good person could never learn in a lifetime; they are definitely half-brothers from Northeast China.

"W-What are you going to do?"

"Don't come any closer!"

"I'm the boss in charge."

"Take one more step forward, and you'll regret it when we hold a college-wide meeting..."

Yan Bugui's guilty conscience, fear, and trembling were obvious even to He Yushui. He spoke haltingly, and his hand trembled as he pointed at Gao Xiaosheng.

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Xiaosheng had already entered the attack range.

He still used the same familiar method: pulling up her collar with his left hand and slapping her with his right.

"Slap, slap"

"Slap, slap"

"Slap, slap"

Three consecutive rounds of forehand and backhand slaps, six slaps in total.

Halfway through the fourth round, the bewildered Yan Bugui finally realized what was happening and started screaming like a pig being slaughtered.

"Stop hitting me!"

"Stop hitting me!"

"Wife, come quick, I'm in danger!"

As Yan Bugui begged for mercy, he kept his eyes tightly closed and covered his face with both hands, preparing to face the next storm.

"Um?"

A few seconds passed, but the expected slap had not yet landed on the back of his hand. Yan Bugui slowly moved his fingers apart, revealing a tiny gap.

"What? Haven't you had enough of being hit? Want me to slap you a few more times?"

Gao Xiaosheng's right hand hung at his side, his brows slightly furrowed.

Yan Bugui shook his head repeatedly, but dared not slacken his hands in the slightest, in case Gao Xiaosheng was trying to trick him into lowering his guard.

"Master, Rainwater, you may come in now."

Gao Xiaosheng pulled Yan Bugui through the gate and stood by the gatehouse wall where it wouldn't block the way.

It wasn't that he had a change of heart, nor was it that he was afraid of hitting Yan Bugui too hard.

In terms of force, Gao Xiaosheng had a precise grasp of the situation, ensuring that it was neither too light nor too heavy, achieving a deterrent effect without causing too much damage, just enough to confuse without hurting the brain.

Even if you slap him a dozen more times, it will only make Yan Bugui gain more weight. He won't even need to go to the hospital; the swelling will go down in two days at most.

The main reason was that the system gave him a notification after he slapped her for the fifth time.

"Warning, warning, a bug has been detected in the system."

"The bug has been fixed. The maximum number of lottery draws a single target can obtain within 24 hours is five. The current target has reached the limit."

"To reiterate, the current target has been reached."

From discovery to repair, the process was almost seamless. Gao Xiaosheng finished his backhand attack with inertia, and before his fourth round of attack could hit the target, the system had already completed all the prompts.

What's the point of fighting like this?

Just as Yan Bugui had made defensive preparations, Gao Xiaosheng chose to call it a day and stop fighting.

"Gao, Gao Xiaosheng, I... I'm telling you, you're in big trouble! You're in really big trouble!"

Even after being pinned against the wall and unilaterally humiliated by Gao Xiaosheng, Yan Bugui remained stubborn and refused to admit defeat.

"Old Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing her husband's cries for help, Yang Ruihua, carrying her infant daughter Jie Di in her arms and holding the hand of three-year-old Jie Kuang, ran out of the house as fast as she could. She almost bumped into the cart driver as she passed the front gate.

"Rain, please watch over the children for me."

Seeing that Yan Bugui was tightly controlled, looking like a coward who wanted to struggle but couldn't break free, Yang Ruihua didn't have time to think. He casually shoved Jie Di to He Yushui, released Yan Jiekuang, and lowered his head to give Gao Xiaosheng a brutal ramming.

She learned this trick from Jia Zhangshi, and today is the first time she's putting it into practice.

Gao Xiaosheng didn't hold back at all just because she was a woman. He had already slapped Jia Zhangshi, so what difference would it make if he slapped her one more time?

With his left hand firmly controlling Yan Bugui, his right hand formed a claw, his arm straight, and his five fingers exerted force, squeezing Yang Ruihua's head like grabbing a basketball, keeping her at arm's length. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move forward.

"I'll fight you to the death."

Yang Ruihua couldn't even lift his head, and his eyes could only see the ground, but he still refused to give up. He waved his arms in turn like a windmill, performing a land-based freestyle teaching demonstration.

She was taller and had a longer reach than Jia Zhangshi, so Gao Xiaosheng had to lean back to avoid the sharp edge of this classic turtle-like punch.

"Slap, slap"

With a quick pull, lift, and release of its right claw, Yang Ruihua staggered half a step, her head involuntarily tilting upwards.

Gao Xiaosheng smoothly changed his claw into a palm, launching a round of forehand and backhand attacks, and won two chances to draw a prize.

"Ah! You, you!"

Yang Ruihua covered her face with her hands, her slanted eyes wide open.

With a flick of his left hand, Gao Xiaosheng tossed Yan Bugui into Yang Ruihua's arms like he was throwing away trash, and the couple gave each other a tight, intimate hug.

The petite Yan Bugui was almost the same height as the sturdy Yang Ruihua. When they hugged, it was quite comical, like a cross-dressing version of a little bird clinging to someone.

"I'll save you both some face in front of the kids."

"If you delay me from moving my things any further, I'll kill you."

Gao Xiaosheng glanced at Yan Jiekuang behind the two men, uttered a harsh remark, and turned to walk towards the cart outside the door.

"Gao Xiaosheng, this isn't over yet. You'll see tonight!"

Smelling the rich milky scent emanating from his wife, Yan Bugui paused for two seconds before fully regaining his senses. He then uttered harsh words while pulling Yang Ruihua's hand and retreating repeatedly.

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. He's outnumbered and outmatched right now, so he'll swallow his pride for now and wait until Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong return to the courtyard. That will be the time for him to avenge himself.

The three stewards may openly and secretly compete for the right to speak at the general meeting, but when faced with an invasion from an external enemy, they must unite against the common enemy, sharing both glory and loss.

Yan Bugui secretly vowed to teach Gao Xiaosheng a profound lesson. At the very least, he would have to pay a large sum of money and sincerely apologize, otherwise he could forget about living peacefully in the courtyard.

This coincided with Jia Zhangshi's idea, except that Yan Bugui received more slaps and had a bigger appetite.
