Chapter 66: Come on, Throw a Fit! Push It to the absolute limit!
It was Wang Jinbao blocking the gate with a crowd of people.
Wang Jinbao truly could not accept giving up the courtyard house. After turning it over in his mind, he brought a gang of his buddies to pry open the padlock. He figured that if he just moved himself in, who would dare come and kick him out? He could just dump the messy aftermath on his brother-in-law. He bet the man wouldn’t leave it unmanaged—in fact, he wouldn’t dare leave it unmanaged! If he genuinely refused to step in, they’d just have his eldest sister return to her maternal home and divorce him! Let’s see if he still dared to be stubborn!
When the members of the Zhang family arrived, Wang Jinbao and his crew had already pried open the top lock of the gate. The two sides locked eyes.
Holy crap! This woman looks incredibly good!
The eyes of the few local thugs rolled perfectly round the moment they spotted Lin Wan. Wang Jinbao’s eyes also stared completely straight. The person beside him nudged Wang Jinbao with a shoulder. “Brother Bao, is this the woman who snatched your house? Do you two know each other? What’s her name?”
Lin Wan and the others had hauled several flatbed carts full of items, so one look made it crystal clear what they were here to do.
Did Wang Jinbao know a single thing? Not a damn thing!
“Comrade, this house is my bridal home! Looking at your grand display, are you bringing your dowry to marry me?” Hehehe, anyway, he hadn’t registered a marriage certificate with the other woman yet, so it was just a matter of compensating them with a bit of cash over there. His sister drew a high salary. He wasn’t afraid!
The more Wang Jinbao thought about it, the more excited he became, and the gaze he cast at Lin Wan turned increasingly greasy and wretched.
Lin Wan: “!!!!!”
A smile surfaced across her face. Before Huang Guixiang could fly into a raging fit and before Zhang Aimin could make a move, Lin Wan raised a hand to push aside the blocking Wang Jinbao and his crew, stepping straight into the courtyard.
Wang Jinbao felt half of his body turn completely soft from her smile. The other thugs followed suit with wretched laughs.
Wang Jinbao trailed closely by Lin Wan’s side, spouting in a thoroughly fluid, roguish manner, “Comrade, what’s your name? How about going with this big brother to register a marriage certificate? The moment the certificate is registered, half of this house belongs to you!”
Lin Wan hooked her lips into another smile at him. This time, the remaining half of Wang Jinbao’s body turned completely crisp as well. He even reached his hand out to grasp Lin Wan’s hand.
Yet, Lin Wan suddenly let out a sharp screech: “Assault! He’s acting like a hoodlum!”
“Robbery! Ahhh!”
“Home invasion and robbery!”
Her voice was far too piercing, startling everyone into a jump. Immediately following that, Lin Wan began a frantic round of smashing.
Clang, clang, clang! Thermos flasks and enamel mugs were hurled straight at Wang Jinbao and his crew.
The instant the sudden mutation erupted, Zhang Aimin rolled up his sleeves in pure anxiety and led his apprentices to charge inside to thrash the men. The workers at the machinery factory did technical labor, which was also heavy physical labor. A few local thugs like Wang Jinbao were completely insufficient to look at.
Since their biological father had charged forward, would Zhang Hongqi and Zhang Hongjun refrain from stepping up? It was absolute! Even if it was just putting on a superficial show, they had to step up!
Wang Jinbao and his crew were thrashed until they wailed and screeched wildly.
“Just you wait! Do you know who my brother-in-law is? My brother-in-law is Director Xu Guandong of the Housing Management Bureau!” Wang Jinbao, who was being pinned down and beaten, bellowed wildly.
Hearing him bellow this, the crowd genuinely froze their hands.
However, Lin Wan tore her throat open even wider: “Hurry up and come look! Bureaucratism is oppressing the working people!”
“The tyrants who were driven away by countless revolutionary martyrs shedding their blood and sacrificing their lives have returned!”
“Comrades! If they can invade my home with weapons to rob my household today, they can rob your households with weapons tomorrow! If they can flagrantly act like hoodlums toward me in broad daylight under everyone’s watchful eyes today, once they forcibly occupy my house and move in, the ones to suffer disaster in the future might be your wives, daughters, and sisters! We must all unite, resolutely resist evil forces, and protect our homes! Protect our small families, and defend our Motherland!”
She raised her arm and gave a fierce wave, thoroughly waving out the hot blood of the neighbors.
Thrash them! A crowd of neighbors who had been watching the spectacle also joined the ranks of the violent beating.
Lin Wan was thoroughly satisfied. The law doesn’t punish the masses! Striking a foul hoodlum was just striking him; this wasn’t the modern era where the laws were fully comprehensive, where winning a fight meant detention and losing meant hospitalization. This gang of people had to be beaten into absolute submission in one single go. Otherwise, if they came to look for trouble every few days in the future, who the hell could withstand it!
The commotion in this courtyard was far too massive, and the comrades from the subdistrict office soon arrived.
“Stop!”
“What on earth is going on?”
Wang Jinbao and his crew had already been beaten past the point of looking human.
“Director Gu! You must uphold justice for us! This is my house, my bridal home, yet they marched right up to strike us…” The moment Wang Jinbao spotted the people from the subdistrict office, he instantly looked as if he had spotted his own biological mother, weeping and complaining as he clung to a medium-statured, middle-aged man wearing glasses. He even cast a provocative glare at Lin Wan.
You foul woman, initially I thought since you were beautiful I’d marry you home as a wife. Now that’s completely impossible! Hehehe~ Just wait to see how I pack you up! If you don’t want to go to prison, you’ll have to become my mistress! Once I grow tired of playing with you, I’ll let my buddies play with you. Once my buddies grow tired, I’ll sell you off! Sell you deep into the mountains to be a wife for several bachelor brothers! Otherwise, I’ll have you eat a bullet! Wang Jinbao thought with venomous malice.
Hearing this, Director Gu immediately demanded sharply, “You invaded a home to beat people?”
“Who led the charge?”
“Little Yang, handcuff the leader!” The law didn’t punish the masses, but the troublemakers absolutely had to be seized.
Director Gu was familiar with Director Xu. It was entirely thanks to Director Xu’s help that his own house managed to gain an extra ten square meters. Wang Jinbao was Director Xu’s brother-in-law, and Director Xu had previously entrusted him to look after him.
The crowd was greatly shocked. The Zhang Hongqi brothers fell into a panic. What the hell were they supposed to do now?
Zhong Hongmei murmured in a low voice right by Bao Yan’s ear, “A jinx, a total trouble magnet! It’s all to blame on her, now she’s dragged every single one of us into severe misery!”
“If we get arrested over this, our jobs definitely won’t be saved. Without jobs, how are the several members of our family supposed to survive?”
“We truly ran into eight lifetimes of absolute foul luck to be saddled with a sister-in-law like this.”
Bao Yan delivered a vicious glare to Lin Wan. This step-sister-in-law was far too capable of inviting trouble! She could not wait to stretch a hand out toward Lin Wan: “It’s her! It’s because she started shouting that we made a move!”
“Comrade, it genuinely has nothing to do with us, it was all her…” What an absolute plague!!!!
Huang Guixiang delivered a fierce claw right across her face, scratching out a full set of shredded potato-like welts. “Spout your mother’s dog farts!”
“Auntie Huang, why are you striking someone?!” Zhang Hongqi went to pull Huang Guixiang back.
Slap! Zhang Aimin delivered a ferocious slap right across his face, striking Zhang Hongqi completely dazed. Zhang Aimin’s gaze was frighteningly cold. Meeting such a pair of eyes, Zhang Hongqi’s mouth opened and closed for a long time, entirely devoid of words.
Bao Yan flew completely out of her mind with rage. The words in her heart bypassed her brain, and she instinctively blurted them straight out: “Dad!”
“You’re truly an old fool!”
“Your favoritism has completely drifted to your armpits! For the sake of a home-wrecking jinx and a plague like this, you actually strike your own biological son?”
“No wonder Zhang Qin wanted to sever ties with you!”
“She has dragged us into this state yet you still shield her. Do you have to wait until she gets every single one of us killed before you’re satisfied?!”
Zhang Aimin took a deep breath. He looked toward Zhang Hongqi. “Eldest, do you want to sever ties with me too?”
Zhang Hongqi moved his lips but didn’t utter a word.
Zhang Aimin’s heart turned completely cold. It was as if a hole had been dug out of it, and a howling draft was roaring through.
“Dad, Eldest Sister-in-law just has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Don’t take Eldest Sister-in-law’s words close to heart,” Zhang Hongjun hurriedly urged.
Huang Guixiang let out a cold sneer. “You aren’t any decent item either!”
Zhong Hongmei hurriedly shielded her own man. “Auntie Huang, how can you speak like that? Our Hongjun has good intentions. Besides, Lin Wan truly needs to be reined in, otherwise who knows how massive a disaster she might invite in the future!”
“We are all doing this for Wanwan’s own good.”
“To spoil a child is to kill a child!”
Seeing this family break into internal strife, Wang Jinbao couldn’t take it anymore. He bellowed wildly about his pain. Without a thousand or eight hundred yuan this time, he resolutely refused to pull himself off the ground!
