Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Wang An's words made Niu Laowai's face turn red instantly. He just stared at Wang An, speechless.

The main problem is that Wang An's words were really too embarrassing.

As the saying goes, "Adults have big faces, and children have small faces." As an adult of similar age to Wang Dazhu, Niu Laowai is a figure who cannot be ignored in his family and even in the entire Kaoshantun village.

But at this moment, he was being scolded and looked down upon by Wang An as if he were a grandson, and Wang An looked down on him completely.

After a few seconds of awkward silence, a villager with the same surname, surnamed Niu, behind Niu Laowai tried to smooth things over with a chuckle:

"Xiao An, we all live in the same village. Besides, your Uncle Niu Qi didn't do it on purpose. It's just a few spit of phlegm. Just cover it with ash and wipe it off, and it'll be clean. Why don't you take a look?"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang An lowered his eyelids and said:
"Who the hell do you think you are? Get the hell out of here. If you want to watch TV, then watch it properly. If you don't want to watch it, then get the hell out of here too."

When Wang An is unhappy, he absolutely won't give face to anyone. Moreover, he has already thoroughly offended Niu Laowai, so Wang An has no intention of making amends.

Just as Wang An said, with Wang An's abilities, how could he possibly need to ask Niu Laowai for help?

To be honest, Wang An wouldn't even bother with someone like Niu Laowai; he wouldn't even glance at him.

Furthermore, the reason why Wang An was so aggressive was because his purpose was to make an example of someone to deter others from spitting on the floor while watching TV at home. So why would anyone listen to him pretending to be a peacemaker?
Turning his head, Wang An roared at Niu Laowai in a loud, boisterous voice:

"I told you to clean up all that phlegm you spat out, didn't you hear me? Hurry up, or I'll make you eat it all back!"

At this moment, Wang An completely unleashed the same swagger he had when he was a thug, looking ready to take action at any moment.

Niu Laowai glared at Wang An with bloodshot eyes, his gaze sharp and unwavering, completely ignoring Wang An's warning.

In fact, Niu Laowai's stubbornness stemmed from two reasons: firstly, he believed Wang An wouldn't take action, and secondly, he was genuinely put in an awkward position by Wang An's words.

Seeing this, Wang An was amused and nodded. Then, he took three steps in two and punched Niu Laowai in the stomach.

With Wang An's skill, Niu Laowai didn't even have time to react before he was convulsed by Wang An's punch.

Immediately afterwards, Wang An grabbed Niu Laowai's hair and slammed his knee into Niu Laowai's forehead and entire face.

With Wang An's current skills and strength, dealing with ordinary people like this would be far too easy.

After Niu Laowai lost his fighting ability, Wang An grabbed Niu Laowai by the back of the neck and forced Niu Laowai's mouth down into the pile of phlegm.

Wang An's brutality and ruthlessness, along with his decisive and efficient skills, immediately made everyone in the room tremble with fear.

However, Wang Dazhu and his wife remained silent throughout the entire ordeal. Meanwhile, the three men – Uncle Wang Dashu, eldest brother Wang Yong, and third brother Wang Gan – also hesitated several times before speaking.

The main problem is that Wang Dazhu and his wife, being Wang An's own parents, don't care. If they, as Wang An's elders and brothers, were to speak up, it would seem like they were meddling.

Wang An was not a soft-hearted person, so he pressed down on Niu Laowai's head and forced Niu Laowai's mouth to bite solidly into the pile of yellowish phlegm.

This scene caused Shen Wei, Zhao Cuiyun, and Liu Guilan to turn their faces away, unable to hold back their retching. Shen Wei and Zhao Cuiyun even covered their respective children's eyes with their hands.

The men in the room, though not vomiting, all looked quite pale.

The main problem is that this scene was absolutely disgusting!

Wang An pressed down on Niu Laowai's head and casually rubbed it on the phlegm several times before letting him go.

To be honest, even after going this far, Wang An was still not satisfied.

For Wang An, the large amount of yellow phlegm that Niu Laowai vomited in his living room was just like having a pile of shit in his own living room, making Wang An feel disgusted and repulsed, and he even wanted to kill Niu Laowai.

However, this was Wang An's home, and it was in front of a group of relatives and villagers. If Niu Laowai really beat him until he bled, it would be Wang An's house that would be soiled.

After releasing Niu Laowai and kicking him twice more, Wang An said impatiently:
"Get out of here right now."

Although Niu Laowai had been badly beaten by Wang An and was having some difficulty moving, he still struggled to get up after hearing Wang An's words and staggered outside.

After Niu Laowai left, Wang An glanced at everyone and said irritably:
"Alright, don't leave now. Replace all the tiles in my living room before you go. I just don't understand, how can you all be so inconsiderate? You spit phlegm everywhere, damn it."

Turning his head, Wang An said to Wang Dazhu, Wang Yong, and Wang Gan:
"Father, eldest brother, and second brother, you all have to do a little extra work and take them to replace the bricks. Anyone who dares not to work, go to that room and let me know, and I'll deal with them."

After speaking, Wang An turned around and went out to walk towards the house to the west.

After Wang An left, Wang Dazhu, with a beaming smile, switched to playing the good cop, saying to everyone with a cheerful tone:

"That's just how Xiao An is. Once he starts acting like a stubborn mule, no one can stop him. Neither his mother nor I can handle him. You all know what he used to do, which is why he developed this bad temper. Don't mind him, everyone. Come on, everyone have a smoke. After you finish your smokes, help me replace the bricks. Then we can continue watching TV."

Liu Guilan also smiled and chimed in, saying:

"Smoke, smoke, smoke. As the old saying goes, a son is no longer under his mother's control once he grows up. We really can't handle this brat Xiao An. Please bear with him."

As she spoke, Liu Guilan took out a box of Changbaishan cigarettes from her drawer, tore open the packaging, and offered them to everyone.

Some of the more sensible villagers immediately accepted the cigarettes offered by Wang Dazhu and his wife, saying:
"Hey, every family is like this. Once the son grows up, no one can control him anymore."

"Yeah, my son is the same way. If you say one thing to him, he'll have eight things to say in return."

It has to be said that the way Wang Dazhu and his wife and Wang An acted, with one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, was perfectly coordinated.

In fact, Wang Dazhu and his wife had long been fed up with Niu Laowai and others spitting all over the place.

However, Wang Dazhu and his wife were simply not suited to playing the strict role, which is why they endured it until Wang An returned. (End of Chapter)
