Chapter 13

Shen Feishang stopped breathing for a moment because he realized that he couldn’t refuse Kong Xiuyao. He couldn’t even look him in the eye.

Kong Xiuyao, who had returned, seemed to have become a completely different person from the younger brother who used to follow behind him. If it weren’t for the fact that this face looked like how he was when he was younger, Shen Feishang would have thought that he had mistaken him for someone else.

“Err… Xiuyao…” Shen Feishang struggled nervously for a moment before realizing that he could not disobey Kong Xiuyao’s orders.

He took a deep breath and gave up all resistance.

“You were the one who wanted to hear it. Don’t blame me if you’re upset…” Shen Feishang took a sip of alcohol and let out a long sigh. “Half a year ago, the old man next door died. A fatty lived in the empty house. In order to occupy my family’s homestead, he came to cause trouble several times. My injuries… were caused by him.”

Because the smell of the guinea fowl was too strong, there were no neighbors around the Shen Feishang residence. Only a lonely old man without children lived a few meters away.

The old man’s surname was Song. He was in his sixties and did not have the ability to work. He ate his fill and lived a tight life.

Shen Feishang’s family earned a little money from raising chickens, so they gave some good food to Old Song. Later, a developer came to the village, and Old Song often said that Shen Feishang was a good person. When he died, his house would be left to Shen Feishang.

When he first helped the old man, Shen Feishang did not expect anything in return. He just treated it as a joke and smiled.

Later, Old Song really died before the fight for territory in the village started.

After his death, the people in the village thought that Shen Feishang’s family was going to have another piece of land. Their eyes were red as they schemed about what excuse they use to snatch the piece of land.

Before they could figure it out, a fatty called Song Ding came to the village to take over Old Song’s dilapidated house.

At first, Song Ding was quite polite. He heard that Shen Feishang had taken care of Old Song in the past. The next day, he came to visit him with a bottle of Maotai to thank him. The naturally friendly fat man had a sense of affinity. Shen Feishang was so grateful that he was embarrassed.

After that, the two families interacted closely. Shen Feishang was kind-hearted. He thought that since the other party was from another village and would inevitably be bullied by the villagers, he often helped him.

At first, Song Ding drove a car and said that there was no place to park at home. He wanted to use the empty space in front of Shen Feishang’s house to park for a while and even sent another bottle of alcohol.

It was just borrowing a free place. It was not a big deal, so Shen Feishang agreed.

However, to his surprise, Song Ding was getting more and more overboard. He actually built a temporary car shed in front of Shen Feishang’s house. Not only did it occupy the venue, but it also blocked the door of Shen Feishang’s house.

The door could only be opened a crack. In and out, they relied on squeezing.

No matter how good Shen Feishang’s temper was, he could not tolerate being so aggrieved when he returned to his own home. He directly went to confront Song Ding.

He originally thought that Song Ding just didn’t pay attention to his limits for a moment. For the sake of the neighbors, this matter should be easy to resolve. Unexpectedly, Song Ding suddenly changed his attitude.

He looked down on others with a piercing gaze, sinister and vicious. He sneered. “Your plague chickens don’t know anything except to shit. Don’t dirty my car with the stench. Is there a problem with me building a shed to isolate it?”

Shen Feishang was not a troublemaker. His family was in the farming business, so it was better to have less trouble. He said patiently, “But your shed is blocking my door. It’s easy to trip when entering or leaving…”

“Then can’t you just move? You’re wasting my time!”

Then, Song Ding swung the door and almost hit Shen Feishang’s face.

Shen Feishang had no choice but to go back and move the shelf under the roof back. In fact, the shed was ridiculously wide, and it was not a problem to cover two cars at the same time. However, Song Ding had to put it vertically to push the edge of the shed to Shen Feishang’s door.

It hadn’t been long since the incident at the temporary vehicle shed. One morning, just after dawn, Shen Feishang heard the sound of bricks colliding in the courtyard. He propped himself up and looked out. A group of workers had come from nowhere and were pushing two-wheeled carts to pour new bricks into his courtyard.

There was a circle of river sand and cement on the ground. The workers were filling it with water and had already started stirring it.

Shen Feishang knew that something was wrong. He grabbed his clothes and rushed out. He said angrily, “Who are you? Who asked you to mix cement in my courtyard!”

The nearest worker looked at him in confusion and pointed at Song Dingjia. “Our Brother Song said to build a car shed here.”

Hearing this, Shen Feishang was so angry that all the blood in his body rushed to his brain.

He was helping someone out of goodwill, but the other party was actually pushing his luck! If he didn’t teach him a lesson, he would probably climb over his head!

He rushed straight to Song Ding’s house and smashed the door. In the end, two arms tightened, and two workers from the construction team hugged his arms from both sides and controlled his movements.

At this moment, Song Ding slowly came out of the house. He covered his mouth and yawned. “Which little bastard disturbed my sleep? Do you want to die?”

Shen Feishang was so trapped that he could only move his mouth. He cursed angrily, “Song Ding! I kindly lent you a place to park, but you actually found someone to build a car shed. Don’t you have any shame!”

The answer was a flying kick!

Before Shen Feishang could react, he was already lying on the ground in pain.

Song Ding spat on his head. “Who’s the shameless one? My car has been parked there. Do you think it belongs to your family just because it’s close to your house? Who’s the shameless one?”

“You bastard!” Shen Feishang struggled.

Another slap landed on his face. The workers who were carrying bricks and mixing cement were also in cahoots with Song Ding. They surrounded Shen Feishang and punched and kicked him.

Shen Feishang could not get up again. He could only hold his head in vain and try his best to curl his body into a ball.

He didn’t know how long the beating lasted, but he heard crying above. Two pairs of gentle hands pulled him up from the ground—it was Father and Mother Shen. Their faces were equally bruised, their clothes were covered in dirt, and there was a nosebleed that hadn’t been wiped clean under Father Shen’s nose.

A few minutes ago, the two of them rushed out to take a look when they heard the commotion. In the end, they saw their son being beaten up on the ground. In a moment of desperation, they picked up a shovel and rushed over to save him. Who knew that the construction team was so crazy that they even beat up the two old men?

Shen Feishang was the most seriously injured. He was beaten until he saw stars and fainted after a while.

“Dad and Mom sent me to the hospital. My shoulder was dislocated, two ribs were broken, and I had a little concussion,” Shen Feishang said unwillingly. He gritted his teeth in hatred when he talked about these things in detail.

As the family of three was injured, the doctor arranged for all of them to be hospitalized. During this period, the Village Chief came to visit them, so Shen Feishang told him what had happened.

The Village Chief flew into a rage when he heard this. Such a terrible thing had never happened in their village before.

“He told me to rest in peace and recuperate before returning to the village to settle the score with Song Ding, but in the end…” Shen Feishang shook his head weakly and laughed self-deprecatingly.
