Chapter 220: The Savior Arrives (Bonus for 1,900 Monthly Votes)
Chen Xiaoqian saw her brother beaten like that and wanted to go over, but was blocked by her second aunt. This fat woman stood like a mountain blocking Xiaoqian, and Xiaoqian couldn’t push her aside—she was too fat.
"You little jinx, only you, Chen Xiaoqian, can create trouble. Go ahead, keep causing trouble! Aren’t you very powerful, with that sharp little mouth of yours..." The second aunt felt that her family had already gained the upper hand and arrogantly extended a finger, pointing at Xiaoqian’s face.
Without hesitation, Xiaoqian opened her mouth and bit down. The second aunt’s eyes crossed in pain.
"Chen Xiaoqian, are you a dog?"
"Pah!" Xiaoqian spat out her finger, disdainfully spat twice, thinking how fat that finger was, wondering if she even washed her hands after using the bathroom.
"Look at this family, so proud of themselves. Chen Xiaoqian, what did you just say? My son hit your useless brother once, and you said you’d return it tenfold? Haha, such big words. Come, you two, beat him to death, let’s see if what this little jinx Chen Xiaoqian says is true!"
The two fat cousins seemed to respond to the second aunt’s arrogant words, beating Chen Zilong even more joyfully, while the second uncle smugly counted beside them.
"Little brat, weren’t you boasting? Keep boasting!" The second cousin sat on top of Chen Zilong.
The first cousin kicked Chen Zilong, "Do you yield?"
"Even if you beat me to death, I won’t yield! If you have guts, fight me one-on-one. All you do is bully my mom and sister. What kind of men are you?" Chen Zilong’s mouth was quite stiff, though his look of covering his head while being beaten didn’t match his defiant words.
"One, two, three, four—Chen Xiaoqian, aren’t you showing off? Didn’t you say if my son hit your brother once, you’d hit us ten times back? Come on, hit us! If you have the guts, hit us! Let’s see you do it!"
The second aunt’s voice was full of arrogance and brashness. Bullying an orphaned family with five people felt too rewarding for them.
Xiaoqian said nothing, just looked behind the second aunt and smirked.
"Since you say that, don’t blame me for being impolite." A dignified male voice rang out. Jia Xiufang and the thoroughly beaten Chen Zilong looked at the man coming in from outside and were overjoyed.
The second cousin, sitting on Chen Zilong, hadn’t even realized what was happening before he felt himself being grabbed by the collar and lifted like a chick. A tall, cold-looking man stood behind him, and before he could see clearly, the man’s desert combat boots kicked him, slamming him against the wall.
Yu Minglang took off his jacket and handed it to Xiaoqian, then casually pushed the second aunt’s fat face aside.
"Stay away from her. Ugly may not be contagious, but if you scare my Mei and make her have nightmares being so close, what then?" Yu Minglang said to the second aunt, then approached the two fat cousins.
"Repeat what you just said. What did you say?"
"Brother-in-law! Beat them! Beat them!!!" Chen Zilong was excited. After being beaten so humiliatingly, Yu Minglang’s sudden appearance thrilled Chen Zilong. He hadn’t forgotten how Yu Minglang could split bricks barehanded in the past.
As suffocated as he felt earlier, he was that excited now. Happiness came too suddenly, and it was wonderful!
Yu Minglang helped Chen Zilong up and looked him over.
"Where did they hit you?" Yu Minglang assessed that Chen Zilong had only superficial injuries and no harm to any vital areas.
"They hit me in so many places. Brother-in-law, you have to help me vent my frustration! They even insulted my sister and mom..." Chen Zilong stood behind Yu Minglang, feeling an immense sense of security from his tall, strong brother-in-law.
"Who do you think you are? Where did you come from?" The second aunt, seeing how tall Yu Minglang was and the indescribable aura he carried, felt a bit uneasy, but pretended to be tough due to her family’s numbers.
Yu Minglang wasn’t in formal attire today, wearing casual clothes instead. However, his upright posture immediately revealed that this was someone not to be messed with.
"I’m Xiaoqian’s boyfriend. You don’t need to tell me who you are, because your actions have already constituted trespassing and intentional injury. I need to consult my girlfriend to consider pressing charges."
Yu Minglang stood next to Xiaoqian, wrapping an arm around her waist with an air of defending her. Jia Xiufang saw this scene and felt much more at ease.
"Heh, where did this big oaf come from? Press charges? What will you charge us with? We just gave him a little push, who are you trying to scare with such serious talk?" The aunt remained unyielding.
"According to Article 69 of the relevant regulations, testimonies from witnesses with conflicts of interest with one of the parties are invalid, so your testimonies are invalid."
Whenever he was not working, Yu Minglang seemed to channel his inner lawyer, leaving the aunt’s family bewildered with his string of legal terms.
Xiaoqian "kindly" explained, "What he means is that your words to the judge are like the function of intestinal peristalsis in emitting gas."
If Xiaoqian hadn’t explained, it might have been okay. After she did, the second aunt became even more confused, and Yu Minglang smoothly added,
"She means, what you say amounts to nothing but hot air."
"Haha!" Chen Zilong was tickled by the comedic tandem performance of his sister and future brother-in-law, laughing so much he didn’t even care about the pain on his body.
"What nonsense, it makes me so angry. You two, beat him!" The second aunt was furious, commanding her two sons.
The two fat cousins, despite having a lot of meat on them, maintained a bit of sixth sense as men, feeling that the steadfast man standing before them had an air of mystery, making them hesitate.
"What are you standing around for, you two? It’s just one person, can’t you beat him?" The second aunt pointed to the second uncle, "You get in there too!"
The three of them fighting one person? She didn’t believe it couldn’t be done!
Yu Minglang chuckled and said to Xiaoqian, "Who knew there were such people in the world, eager to ask me to hit them. How many times did they hit Zilong earlier?"
"Eight times." Xiaoqian had counted.
She didn’t think much of despots, but when it came to her own family, she could beat them herself, but outsiders had no right to.
Yu Minglang nodded. Xiaoqian patted him, "One to ten, that’s what I said just now. If you say it, you’ve got to do it. Help me finish this, and I’ll take you out for a night show."
That was something Yu Minglang could get behind, and he brightened up.
"Actually, this is a bit difficult..." Yu Minglang sidestepped, dodging the first cousin’s punch, and backhanded another blow at the lunging second cousin. With his left hand pressing down the first cousin’s head and his right hand grabbing the second cousin’s neck, he exerted force with both hands, smashing the two fat lumps together, making their vision go blurry and screaming in pain.
"Mei, with my moves, every strike draws blood. If you want me to hit that much, I might end up killing them." Yu Minglang separated his hands, yanked apart the first and second cousins, and then smashed them together again, seeming to find an entertaining game.
Watching their children get beaten, the second uncle roared and charged forward, striking a pose.
"Kid, when I was young, I was quite formidable. I even practiced the lunge punch!"
Yu Minglang let go, stepped back, Xiaoqian blinked, and Jia Xiufang along with Chen Zilong watched intently.
