The deaf old lady took the opportunity to stir up trouble, using all sorts of words to scare the neighbors in the courtyard.
Those confused people were already uneasy, and after her meddling, they believed it even more.
"As for how to extract this tooth, I asked Master Wang. It's just three steps—our yard will be clean in no time!"
The deaf old woman glanced at Hao Jianguo with a sinister look, her eyes as venomous as a snake's forked tongue.
Hao Jianguo remained silent, simply watching the old lady perform.
In his eyes, the old woman was nothing more than a clown.
However, several elderly people in the courtyard who believed in feng shui became anxious and kept asking what they should do to change their luck.
"The first thing is to kick Hao Jianguo out of the yard and never let him step into the house again."
His house also needs to be sealed off, lest bad luck remain.
Although the deaf old lady's words would completely offend Hao Jianguo, many people gritted their teeth and felt that it was not impossible to agree, since it involved their own interests.
Upon hearing the second piece of news, many people frowned, their faces filled with disbelief.
"The second thing was that his family's ancestral graves were leveled—that was the source of the trouble."
We must dig up his grave and break the soil so he can never rise again.
The deaf old woman glared at Hao Jianguo with resentment and spoke slowly and deliberately.
Seeing the hesitation on everyone's faces, she was not surprised. Instead, she sneered, "I know you think it's too cruel."
But think about Hao Jianguo's personality. If you kick him out, do you think he won't hold a grudge? If you were in his shoes, would you let it go?
"If we don't do it thoroughly, once he recovers, every single one of us will suffer!"
After he said that, the courtyard fell into a deathly silence.
Although he felt it was excessive, he put himself in Hao Jianguo's shoes and realized that he would definitely retaliate if he were Hao Jianguo.
Thinking about it this way, the guilt subsided—for the sake of future peace of mind, I might as well go against my conscience.
"As for the third thing—"
The deaf old lady suddenly raised her voice.
Everyone tensed up, knowing this was the real show.
"That child in Hao Jianguo's belly is a nuisance; it must be aborted!"
The malicious words were like ice picks piercing their eardrums, causing everyone to gasp and shrink back in fear.
No one expected the old lady to be so ruthless.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui also frowned.
They knew how much Yu Li and the child meant to Hao Jianguo; if it really came to a fight, Hao Jianguo would fight tooth and nail.
Moreover, this is illegal; if it gets to the police station, no one can escape punishment.
"She's gone mad...this old woman is truly insane."
He murmured softly, a chill running down his back.
The third son of the Yan family also felt a chill run down his spine.
The old lady's move was too ruthless; she was clearly trying to drive the Hao family to their doom.
"That's really vicious, it's like trying to kill someone's family line... I wouldn't dare get involved in something so deadly."
Most of the people standing in the courtyard had similar thoughts at that moment.
Who would dare to answer the old lady? Everyone held their breath and shrank their necks, some of the more timid ones already regretting coming to watch the spectacle.
Feng shui is ultimately just a myth, but if it really causes Yu Li to lose her child, then it's a real debt of life—and it might even cost two lives.
But the deaf old lady clearly didn't care anymore.
She completely ignored the evasive glances around her, staring intently at Hao Jianguo with venom in her eyes.
She was determined to make sure Hao Jianguo never reincarnated!
Even if all those feng shui principles were made up, it wouldn't matter to her.
She wanted Hao Jianguo to be completely ruined.
Hao Jianguo's eyes narrowed into slits, and anger burned within them.
How dare that vicious old woman harm his unborn child?
They're practically asking for it!
He suddenly burst into laughter, a laugh that sent chills down the spines of everyone in the courtyard.
Especially when his gaze slowly swept across the crowd, several people hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
"Old hag, are you determined to nip this in the bud?"
Hao Jianguo's voice was as cold as ice.
The deaf old woman became even more arrogant, smirking with a triumphant look.
"Yes! I'm going to kill you, make you suffer terribly! What can you do about it?!"
She screamed in a high-pitched voice, trembling with excitement.
In her view, Hao Jianguo's current reaction was a sign of cowardice—she had won, and as long as she held firm today, the Hao family would surely fall into her hands.
"Pillar! Teach him a lesson!"
The old lady gave orders in a hoarse voice, her posture just like a commander on the battlefield.
The burly man next to him had been unable to contain himself for a long time. Upon hearing the order, he immediately clenched his fists and approached Hao Jianguo.
"Who dares to move!"
Hao Jianguo gave a stern shout.
The burly man had already rushed up to him and swung his arm to smash it into his face—this man was used to running rampant in the yard and could beat whoever he wanted, since he always had an old man and an old woman backing him up.
Moreover, he was extremely confident in his fists and didn't take Hao Jianguo seriously at all.
Not only him, but even the old lady and Yi Zhonghai believed that Hao Jianguo was going to suffer a great loss this time.
But before they could even smile, a scream rang out.
"ah--!"
The burly man, who had been so aggressive just moments before, was kicked away by Hao Jianguo and sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground and writhing in pain.
Xu Damao and the others were immediately stunned.
Xu Damao, in particular, rubbed his eyes vigorously.
He had fought this strong man since he was a child, and he knew best how good the man was at fighting.
Who would have thought that this man was as fragile as paper in front of Hao Jianguo, unable to withstand even a single move.
"Wow...he's really hiding his true strength!"
Xu Damao secretly took a breath, his heart pounding.
Hao Jianguo slowly looked around again.
That kick stunned the entire stadium.
Many people subconsciously hunched their shoulders, thinking to themselves: if they were the ones who took that hit, they would probably lose half their lives here.
Hao Jianguo smirked, revealing a chilling smile. "Is that all you've got? You think you're worthy to touch me?"
His gaze swept over the faces in the courtyard, his voice not loud, yet suffocating. "Anyone who wants to try, feel free to come."
But let me make this clear—anyone who listens to this old senile bastard's nonsense and dares to touch anyone in my house, or even a single blade of grass on my ancestors' graves, will regret ever being born!
The last word was enunciated so heavily and forcefully that it made the knees of the people in the bangs go weak.
They knew perfectly well that if they went along with the deaf old lady's demands, Hao Jianguo would definitely fight them to the death.
The old woman was half-buried in the ground, so she wasn't afraid, but they still wanted to live for several more decades.
Hao Jianguo turned around, his gaze fixed intently on the deaf old woman's face. "Are you senile? What kind of world is this? You're still dreaming of the past?"
He scoffed, each word like a red-hot iron, burning one's eardrums. "Saying my wife and child's accident was due to feng shui? Let it go!"
The courtyard was eerily quiet; the repeated shouts and curses pounded on everyone's hearts, making them feel suffocated.
"How ridiculous—a future that someone works themselves to the bone is described by you as stolen luck?"
He spat on the ground, "Old woman, no wonder your adopted son and grandson are utterly useless; they deserve to be stuck in the gutter their whole lives!"
"I, Hao Jianguo, got to where I am today by sweating and bleeding in the workshop! Countless eyes in the factory are watching; who are you to slander me with your white teeth?"
His voice grew colder as he spoke, "Now look what's happened! Just when things were starting to go well for him, he's accused of stealing the Jia family's bad luck? Bah! I'd rather not have that filthy rubbish even if it were given to me for free. What a piece of junk!"
He showed no mercy, his words as sharp as a knife scraping bone.
One after another, people called her "old woman".
The words came crashing down, and the deaf old woman's withered face twitched uncontrollably. Every word was like an invisible slap, striking her old face.
Many people around also unconsciously shrank back – although Hao Jianguo was pointing at the old lady and cursing, the barb in his words clearly pierced their hearts as well.
Those who had harbored thoughts about him earlier because of a few words from the deaf old lady were now ashamed.
Hao Jianguo stared coldly at the trembling old woman. "This is truly eye-opening. So ignorant of the law, yet she dares to shout about sealing off doors, digging up graves, and harming her wife and children?"
His voice suddenly rose, "I want to ask you, what dynasty's laws gave you people such audacity!"
"You're tired of living!"
"law"
When those two words came out of his mouth, everyone in the courtyard shuddered.
These days, when something happens in the compound, it's mostly settled privately behind closed doors, all for the sake of being "advanced."
The dignity of the people.
If this gets out in public, we'll lose face big time.
Even if there are disputes, people are used to seeking mediation from the factory's security department—people are under the factory's jurisdiction, and the factory, for the sake of its reputation, often suppresses the matter.
For many people, the word "law" is as distant as a cloud in the sky.
But Hao Jianguo's words at that moment struck everyone's confused minds like a bolt of lightning.
Someone suddenly realized what he was going to do next.
Hao Jianguo turned his head and looked at Xu Damao and his group.
"go,"
He ordered, "Bring the police station and the neighborhood committee members here."
Let the authorities decide right and wrong in this matter today!
Xu Damao responded reflexively and was about to run outside—he was already used to obeying this man's orders.
"Let's see who dares to make a move!"
A loud shout rang out.
Wang Daoren suddenly took a step forward, his figure blocking the road like an iron tower, his voice rumbling across the courtyard.
Upon hearing this, Xu Damao and the others trembled again, then came to their senses and shrank back, no longer daring to move.
Hao Jianguo glanced in the direction of Wang Daoren with a hint of surprise.
He had previously regarded the old Taoist priest as a charlatan, but that shout just now made Hao Jianguo realize that he might have underestimated the old man.
Despite his advanced age and withered appearance, the old Taoist priest exuded a formidable aura of pressure.
In Hao Jianguo's view, if this Taoist priest really made a move, Xu Damao's rabble would probably be no match for him.
"You're actually quite skilled."
Hao Jianguo thought to himself.
Wang Daoren stared intently at Hao Jianguo: "No one can come today, it's no use. What I say is the will of Heaven."
You, Hao Jianguo, are the root of all evil in this courtyard. Since they dare not approach, I, the old Taoist priest, will personally remove this cancerous growth!
If you take someone's money, you're obligated to solve their problems.
Having already received A-Juan's money, Wang Daoren naturally had to get things done.
He had already figured it out in his mind: once this matter escalated, he would immediately flee to the deep mountains after it was over, and then who would be able to find him?
Seeing Wang Daoren's actions, Yan Jiecheng, Liu Guangfu, and the others had already been dragged back by their elders.
The older generation knew that this Taoist priest had many tricks up his sleeve, so they dared not let their younger generation show their faces at this moment, for fear of being implicated.
Before Wang Daoren finished speaking, he had already walked straight up to Hao Jianguo, his posture clearly indicating that he was about to make a move.
To be honest, the scene looked rather strange to everyone.
Logically speaking, it would be absurd for an old man to take on a strong young man—even Sha Zhu was once kicked over by Hao Jianguo.
For some reason, looking at Wang Daoren's current aura, many people had a thought that might actually be able to hold their own against Hao Jianguo.
"You stinking Taoist priest, who do you think you are, daring to claim to represent the will of Heaven? And saying no one can change your mind? What a big mouth you have! I think you didn't get enough criticism and struggle sessions in your younger days!"
Hao Jianguo sneered.
These words were like a poisonous thorn, piercing the old Taoist's heart.
Those events were a lifelong disgrace for Wang Daoren.
Being exposed like this, he was filled with shame and anger.
"You bastard! This old Taoist priest is like the heavens, useless just because he says so! Today, I'll seal off your house first!"
Wang Daoren roared angrily.
Upon hearing this, the deaf old woman standing nearby could hardly contain her joy.
She knew that Wang Daoren was about to make a move, and she was convinced that with his abilities, Hao Jianguo would definitely suffer a loss today.
"Master Wang, sealing off the house isn't enough! I think it's going to be destroyed. Smash all those harmful things in his house!"
The deaf old woman shouted in a shrill voice, her voice trembling with excitement.
"You?"
Hao Jianguo glanced at the old Taoist priest indifferently, his tone unmoving.
Although Wang Daoren surprised him a little, his tricks might fool ordinary people, but they were no match for Hao Jianguo.
Clearly sensing the disdain in Hao Jianguo's words, Wang Daoren was immediately displeased—he had been looked down upon by a junior.
"Hmph, kid, don't think you're something special just because you know a few punches and kicks."
When I was practicing my skills, you hadn't even been reincarnated yet!
At this moment, Wang Daoren had completely shed his previous old age and seemed to have become a different person. He was energetic and his eyes shone brightly.
He was very confident in his skills. He took a step forward and threw a punch at Hao Jianguo's abdomen.
