Chapter 146
Chapter 146
While Fu Zhixi, the legitimate young lady of the Fu household, had been highly praised in the Fu household over the past two years and had deeply gained the essence of her father's teachings.
Though she was not yet twenty and was in the midst of seeking a suitable husband, her ruthless methods had already stained her hands with several lives.
Her methods were even more vicious than those of her father.
Similarly, she could not escape the death penalty either!
The Fu household held several lives in their hands, making this no trivial matter. It had now almost become common knowledge.
The location of the Fu household fell under the jurisdiction of the Prince of Nanyang, naturally alarming him as well.
The punishment of the father and daughter of the Fu household would be personally supervised and executed by him.
.....Upon seeing the Fu household head, covered in bite marks and injuries all over his body, being taken away by the officials, Luo Ge and his companions did not linger any longer.
They retrieved the signboard from the arranged shop, and then went to the two wineries.
"Lord Gu, Mrs. Gu."
Seeing them, the workers helping with the renovation greeted them.
"Yes, you all have worked hard. I just bought some tea, snacks, and refreshments from outside. Take a break first before resuming."
Taking advantage of the workers' break, Luo Ge and his group briefly inspected the situation, with the foreman accompanying them.
"The exterior and the private rooms on the upper floor have been completed. Only the kitchen and the signboard remain. It should be finished in the next couple of days."
"My brother's side is progressing at the same pace."
They had hired the same crew of workers, as the two brothers were cooperating.
They had two shops, with each brother taking charge of one side.
After a simple inspection, the work was indeed done well, perfectly matching the style they envisioned.
"Thank you for your hard work. We really like this style."
Hearing this, the foreman grinned happily, "That's great."
After handing over the retrieved signboard, Luo Ge and his group went to check the other side, confirming that both sides were progressing equally.
Although there were some differences due to the layout, the style was consistently satisfactory.
Seeing this, Luo Ge and his group arranged for a final inspection in two days and then departed.
It would take some time to return, so they needed to leave early before it got dark.
.................
In the village, meanwhile.
"How's that? You're usually quite good at fighting, aren't you? But now? Do you submit?"
"It's just because you're good at memorizing poetry, you're showing off? Now you're still being beaten to the ground by us, aren't you?"
A chubby boy gloated, casually picking up a rock.
"What are you doing? Let him go!"
Seeing the chubby boy about to smash the rock down on Yun Mu, who was pinned to the ground, a figure suddenly charged over.
Tie Dan had recently grown taller and was one of the taller ones among his peers, taller than the chubby boy. With a single pounce, he knocked the chubby boy to the ground.
Second Baby Yun Yi then quickly helped pull his elder brother up.
But the chubby boy's companions wouldn't let it go, immediately turning to fight with Second Baby.
"Second Baby." Yun Mu, taking advantage of the opportunity, struggled to his feet and rushed over to protect Second Baby.
And so, the two of them fought against the larger group.
Yun Mu was already injured, and the two of them were clearly at a disadvantage.
Other children from their village arrived and, upon seeing the scene, exchanged glances and rushed over to join.
The numbers on both sides were about even, with around ten children each.
However, since the other side had purposefully started the trouble, they had found older and larger boys.
But whether they could win or not, Yun Mu and his companions immediately engaged in a flurry of fists and kicks, and if they couldn't win, they would resort to biting.
But it was clear that due to the age and size advantage, they were at a disadvantage.
"So what if you're bigger!"
"You're bullying us in our village, did you ask us first?"
"I'll bite you to death!"
But needless to say, they could not afford to lose in spirit.
On this side, Tie Dan and the chubby boy Qian Duoduo had already started grappling, exchanging punches and kicks, both quickly sustaining injuries.
"Qian Duoduo, you dare to bully my brother, you've got nerve!"
However, Tie Dan seemed to have the upper hand, seizing an opportunity to pin Qian Duoduo down and coldly berate him.
Qian Duoduo, unwilling to submit, bit him and took advantage of his momentary pain to reverse the position.
"So what, what can you do about it?"
"See, they're still being pinned down and bullied! What can you do to me?"
"I'll beat you to death!" Hearing these words and seeing the situation on their side, Tie Dan became enraged, gritting his teeth and flipping back over.
In a few moves, he started pummeling Qian Duoduo.
Yun Mu and Yun Yi, observing the current situation, also clenched their teeth, ignoring their pain and fighting more fiercely.
At this point, they had all become determined, their intensity causing spectators to feel unease, and their blows delivered even more pain!
After a while, Qian Duoduo's side could not withstand it any longer and collectively admitted defeat.
As they stood up and brushed themselves off, both sides had sustained numerous injuries. Although Qian Duoduo's side had the larger boys, they had not gained any advantage under the leadership of the relentless Yun Mu brothers.
Glancing at Tie Dan and his companions, Qian Duoduo snorted in frustration.
"This time you got lucky, but next time...."
Before the chubby boy could finish, Tie Dan's companions interrupted him.
"Next time what? Next time you come to our village, we'll beat you again!"
"Next time, I'll bring my family's Big Yellow Dog to bite you all to death."
Although grimacing in pain, they still tried to appear ferocious.
Regardless, they could not afford to lose their spirit!
Hearing these words, Tie Dan and the Yun Mu brothers shot them a cold glance.
This look made Qian Duoduo and a few of his companions shudder, recalling the scene of their recent beating.
"Hmph!" In the end, they could only snort in frustration and walk away while nursing their bruises.
.....When Luo Ge and his companions returned, they found a group of battered little ones hiding in their home, grimacing as they treated each other's injuries.
