Chapter 193: The tiger fell to the ground and was bullied by the dog

Hong sighed and said to Tong Huaqiong with a sad look: "My illness is getting better and worse, and it has caused trouble for Old He. Since moving into this courtyard, he has also been suffering."

Tong Huaqiong said, "We are one family, so we shouldn't talk about bringing trouble to the two families. Isn't it normal to boil medicine when you are sick? What is abnormal is those frivolous people who bully others."

There was one thing Tong Huaqiong didn't say. She and Mrs. Hong both knew in their hearts that the residents of this slum didn't dislike Yao Guanzi at all, but simply wanted to bully He Chao.

He Chao was no longer a respectable steward of the Zheng family, and was expelled for unbearable reasons, which aroused the evil of bullying the weak and fearing the strong in human nature.

The saying "a tiger in dire straits is bullied by dogs" is a direct manifestation of this kind of evil.

Tong Huaqiong looked outside through the window.

I saw a stove in the yard with medicine on it and smoke rising.

The medicine jar was far away from the house of the black-faced man who was cursing, so no matter how sick the person was, the disease could not get into the house.

That man was simply taking advantage of the situation to bully He Chao.

Gu Dashu was afraid that He Chao would suffer a loss, so he followed him to the yard.

"Brother, I'm sorry." He Chao opened the medicine jar and took a look. The time was not enough and he had to wait for a while.

There was no other way. He lived here with a sick wife in the house, so he had to smile apologetically to the black-faced man who was cursing.

The dark-faced man said unhappily, "I told you not to boil the medicine here, but you chose to boil it here. If you want to boil it, take it to the house."

He Chao said: "This is an open flame. If you keep it indoors, you might accidentally catch fire."

The dark-faced man snorted coldly, "Aren't you afraid of burning my house down if the wind blows sparks into it? If you're afraid of fire, then you can just buy a separate yard to live in."

The stove was far away from the black-faced man's house, so even if it was completely burned, it would not reach his house.

Tong Huaqiong felt that the black-faced man was simply looking for trouble.

Hong coughed twice while lying on the bed and said softly, "In order to live a peaceful life, Lao He has been giving him some change to buy wine and meat since he got here. We didn't have much money after leaving the Zheng family, and I was sick and needed medicine. I haven't given him any money in the past two days, so he has been making trouble and scolding people from time to time. Yesterday, he took away my rice and Lao He's new clothes."

In such an environment, how could Hong's condition get better?

According to Tong Huaqiong, He Chao should fight with the black-faced man and beat him into submission.

Tong Huaqiong continued to look outside.

The black-faced man asked He Chao to move the stove.

Gu Dashu couldn't help it and said, "Why are you getting more and more arrogant? We all live in the same yard, and this yard is not yours. Why don't you allow me to boil the medicine? You said that the medicine was given to you because of the disease. Then the patient in our room might have been frightened by you. Look at you, you are so black, like a big monkey. Whoever sees you will not get sicker."

The dark-faced man glanced at Gu Dashu.

He thought that this man was probably a servant who was kicked out of the Zheng family, otherwise why would he be willing to stand up for He Chao.

What is he afraid of when he has no servants to rely on?

"I'm the boss of this yard. I say where you stay up late and that's where you make the medicine. If you don't move away, I'll kick it over." The black-faced man kicked over the stove and the medicine before he could finish his words.

Gu Dashu stretched out his fist, but was blocked by He Chao.

Gu Dashu is now the young master of his boss, and he cannot let Gu Dashu be sued for assault no matter what.

The dark-faced man cursed, "Since you came to this yard, my wife has not dared to take a bath, for fear that you would peek at her. Now my wife has to go out to take a bath somewhere else every day. You should compensate me for the money I wasted taking a bath elsewhere."

He Chao was so angry that he was shaking all over.

What a perverted logic this is.

Hong cried angrily, "Boss, he is worse than pigs and dogs. He beats his wife all day long and pawns her out when he has no money to spend. He said this just to poke Lao He in the heart and get money out of him."

Such people can only be punished by evil people.

Tong Huaqiong thought for a moment and walked out, saying loudly: "Why did your wife go somewhere else to take a bath? It was because you forced her to do so. You, a grown man, are so incompetent to build a bathroom for your wife in the house, but you are cursing here instead."

The dark-faced man saw Tong Huaqiong coming out of the house and squinted his eyes and said, "I'm not afraid even if ten more people come to support Lao He."

Tong Huaqiong pointed at the medicine jar on the ground and cursed: "This is life-saving medicine, you kicked it over, you just want to kill people. Let's go to see the official now."

When it comes to playing dirty, Tong Huaqiong has never lost. She grabbed the black-faced man and said, "I'm going to kill someone! I'm going to kill someone!"

He Chao was almost petrified. This widow Tong was still so fierce.

The black-faced man raised his hand to shake off Tong Huaqiong, but was punched in the face by Gu Dashu.

Gu Dashu was very strong and the black-faced man's face became swollen immediately. He jumped in pain.

Tong Huaqiong grabbed him and kept shouting, "Murder."

"Who killed someone?" The black-faced man looked a little panicked.

He Chao then began to cooperate with Tong Huaqiong and said, "You deliberately knocked over the life-saving medicine with the intention of killing someone."

Tong Huaqiong said to the black-faced man, "Come on, follow me to see the official. Let's let the county magistrate judge the case."

The black-faced man didn't dare to see the official.

He had been imprisoned for theft, and he was afraid that his petty thefts would be exposed in court.

Even if they were not imprisoned, they would be beaten with a stick.

He usually bullied He Chao only because he felt suffocated when He Chao's reputation was ruined in front of him.

Tong Huaqiong, however, didn't care and insisted on taking him to see the official.

"I'm not afraid of seeing the official." The dark-faced man suppressed his fear and forced himself to brag.

Gu Dashu smiled and said, "Old He, the county magistrate calls my mother godmother, don't worry, I will seek justice for you when you go to the county government office."

The dark-faced man started to panic when he heard the county magistrate call Tong Huaqiong godmother.

"Auntie, let's talk it over..." The dark-faced man immediately slid to his knees and explained to Tong Huaqiong, "I accidentally kicked over the medicine jar just now. It was my fault."

Tong Huaqiong sneered, "It's okay if you don't see the official. This medicine is worth two taels of silver, you just need to compensate Lao He two taels of silver."

The dark-faced man thought to himself that a wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him, so he paid two taels of silver to keep the woman stable.

They can't stay here forever. Sooner or later, he will get it back from He Chao.

So he smiled at Tong Huaqiong and said, "I'll pay for it! I'll pay for it!"

Tong Huaqiong took He Chao and Gu Dashu to the room of the black-faced man opposite. The black-faced man took out two taels of silver and handed it to He Chao with gritted teeth.

He Chao accepted it without hesitation.

Tong Huaqiong said, "Return all the rice, flour and clothes from Old He's house to me."

As he spoke, he took Gu Dashu out of the house to carry out the rice, flour, grain and oil, and unwrapped the two strips of bacon hanging on the wall.

The black-faced man tried to stop them, but Gu Dashu showed his fist. In the end, he could only watch Tong Huaqiong and Gu Dashu carrying the spoils into Lao He's house.

He stamped his feet in anger, wondering where this piece of shit came from.

The black-faced man gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly, planning to go to Old He's house for revenge after Tong Huaqiong left.

But he soon found out that he had miscalculated.
