Chapter 14 Can’t afford to offend

Tian Buli and Hu'er brought back tofu together.

As soon as the two men entered the yard and put down their burden, Leopard ran over to help.

"Second father, mother and Gou'er went to buy clothes and were scolded. When they came back, they were so angry that they couldn't eat and slapped me."

"You won't fight back...Why did your mother hit you?" Tian Buli quickly changed his words.

Baoer covered his face and didn't say why he was beaten.

Maybe he did say that, for example, he hit someone when he was angry.

This reason is not important, because it is impossible for Leopard to fight back anyway.

Tian Buli took out a piece of cloth containing food from his arms. These cloths looked like the base cloth used for steaming buns. They were usually used to hold meat and sugar to prevent them from mixing with sweat on clothes.

It is not easy to sweat in winter, and life has become more affluent recently, so Tian Buli would buy some food to satisfy his cravings.

There were five candied haws wrapped in it. Tian Buli gave one to Bao'er and said, "Take it and eat it. I'll give you another one to try. Eat slowly."

Hu'er, who was standing aside, watched eagerly, and Tian Buli smiled and gave him one.

Soon, the tiger and leopard brothers happily carried the wooden rack back. The original wooden barrel was difficult to carry and inconvenient to take tofu, so they changed it into a layered wooden rack similar to a beehive.

Tian Buli quickly returned to the room and saw Dou Niangzi sitting on the bed sulking.

"What's wrong with Damselfly?"

Tian Buli walked over and sat down, took out a chicken leg from his arms, took a bite, and then passed it to Dou Niangzi's mouth.

When Lady Bean saw Tian Buli, she was no longer angry. When she saw him coming towards her with the chicken leg in hand, her mouth watered with greed and she quickly opened her mouth and took a bite.

Tian Buli took back the chicken leg and ate it himself, while his free hand hugged the bean lady's body.

Although he couldn't touch his body because of the thick gray cotton jacket, Tian Buli didn't want to do anything.

After taking a bite to satisfy her craving, Lady Bean did not continue to fight for the meat with her man who had to do hard work. Instead, she started talking about what happened today and scolded the girl for being ungrateful.

Tian Buli ate three bites, stuffed the few remaining chicken bones into the bean lady's mouth, and stood up to wipe his hands with a towel.

"If you don't like it, then don't like it. I have no intention of leaving for now. I will decide after I have run the business for two or three years and saved some money to settle down."

"Hmm..." Lady licked the meat off the chicken bones. "Okay, let's talk about it in two years. We'll live a good life and make them envy us to death!"

Tian Buli said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go to the street and buy two or three hens to raise first, and then we can eat their chicken when the New Year comes."

"Okay!" Lady Bean smiled happily and wanted to eat chicken.

Tian Buli went out of the hut and saw the sick teacher practicing calligraphy and the absent-minded dog.

"Second Dad!" The dog greeted him quickly. He just didn't like studying.

Tian Buli said to the sick gentleman, "Sir, I will take Gou'er out to buy three fat chickens to raise. Two of them will be eaten during the New Year, and one will be used to make chicken soup for you tonight to nourish your body."

Mr. Bing said gratefully: "Thank you, benefactor. I have been feeling much better recently. I will go out and find a job in the spring."

Tian Buli said quickly, "Sir, just prepare for the exam. I'll accompany you through the formalities when the time comes. Now you need to rest and recuperate. Just stay in the house and I'll buy you a small stove to warm your hands. Sir, you can practice calligraphy. Gou'er, let's go to the street."

The dog quickly ran over, "Okay, Second Dad."

Mr. Bing sighed and quickly continued to practice calligraphy with peace of mind. Handwriting is also a part of the exam, and it is difficult to practice good handwriting without money.

Tian Buli took the puppy out shopping and ate a bowl of rice dumpling soup with him on the street. After the meal, they went to Zhang's Cloth Shop.

"Boss Zhang, I'm here to apologize."

Tian Buli came to apologize empty-handed, with a child beside him.

Boss Zhang smiled and said, "I should apologize. I spoiled my daughter and she has too high standards."

Tian Buli didn't care that Boss Zhang was protecting his daughter, and said politely, "Dou Niang cares about me, so she quarreled with others because of me. I wanted to buy her a beautiful flowered coat. Over the years, she has been a woman supporting the family and showing up in public, and she has been harassed and insulted by many scoundrels and lechers."

Tian Buli sighed, "Boss Zhang, don't be angry. In this world, kind people are often bullied. If Dou Niang hadn't been a bit aggressive, she would have been bullied to death a long time ago."

"Relatives and neighbors can help you temporarily, but how can they help you forever?"

"Dou Niang treats me as a family member, and I treat her as a family member too. She doesn't want me to be gossiped about, so she wants to find a good girl for me to start a family with. I am far from being Mr. Zhang's beloved daughter, and I have made a fool of myself for Mr. Zhang."

Boss Zhang hurriedly said, "No, no, it's just that my daughter likes to play and doesn't want to get married for the time being." Tian Buli didn't have any feelings for Miss Zhang either. He didn't like women without breasts.

"I'm glad that Boss Zhang isn't angry. How much is this flowery jacket?"

Tian Buli quickly started buying clothes with Boss Zhang and bargained shamelessly.

After all, Boss Zhang was a little thin-skinned, so he sold it to Tian Buli at a half-price, making a little profit from the labor fee.

Tian Buli bought two more pieces of clothing, one for himself to wear on the day of the exam and one for Mr. Bing to wear when going out.

After going out, I went home to put away my clothes, and then went to the afternoon market to find someone from the nearby village who came to sell game and poultry and bought three chickens and a wild rabbit.

Tian Buli held the hen in both hands, and the puppy held the rabbit as they hurried home.

As soon as the two men arrived near the street, they heard a few dog barking. Suddenly, a black and yellow wolfhound pounced from the front and was about to bite the puppy.

Tian Buli was quick to throw the fat chicken in his hand away, and turned to the side holding the puppy in one hand.

The black bull turned his head!

Tian Buli used his broad and strong back to protect the puppy, and fortunately there was no vicious dog behind him to pounce on it.

The rabbit that the puppy was holding fell to the ground and ran away quickly.

Seeing this, the wolfhound quickly chased the rabbit out.

"Hahaha! It's a rabbit!"

A joyful shout came from not far away, and a young man wearing a patterned robe and a thick fur cloak came over with a few of his men.

The young man was followed by two vicious dogs, which quickly went over and bit the fat chicken to death when they saw it on the ground.

After biting the fat chicken to death, the two vicious dogs stared fiercely at the fat chicken in Tian Buli's hand.

The puppy only cared about the rabbit and shouted anxiously: "Dad, the rabbit is gone!"

Tian Buli quickly let go of his hand when he saw this, and quickly covered the puppy's mouth and said, "Shut up!"

Tian Buli quickly covered the dog's mouth and backed away. Fortunately, the two fat chickens running around and the chasing vicious dogs attracted most people's attention.

The young man soon continued to walk his dog in the downtown area with a smug look on his face, enjoying the feeling of being a superior that everyone avoided and endured.

Tian Buli lost all the fat chickens and rabbits he had gotten, but fortunately he returned home safely with his dog.

"Alas!" Mr. Bing listened to Tian Buli talking about what happened on the street and sighed helplessly. He raised his head and said, "Thanks to the benefactor, otherwise the dog would have been beaten and his life would have been in danger."

Lady Bean also said in a sad voice: "It's the end of the year, so go out less. The street police are trying to make money, and all kinds of rogues are wandering the streets. There are too many bad guys to count. In the future, if you see something bad during the day, leave quickly, and be more careful when walking."

"Also, don't show off your money recently, buy less things, and don't drink and eat meat outside, or people will miss you."

Tian Buli was silent and depressed, with a rage in his heart that he could not release.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Lady Bean accompanied him to rest in the house and took good care of him.

After being released, Tian Buli hugged Dou Niangzi. He knew that there were some people he could not afford to offend for the time being, and there were also people in the yard to take care of.

Dou Niangzi lay beside Tian Buli, and whispered softly to him from behind: "You heartless man, don't do stupid things, don't be stubborn, that damn ghost just fought with others and ended up like this."

Tian Buli then remembered how complicated Mr. Bing's sigh was when he was talking about the matter just now.

"Ah, I know you're good to me." Tian Buli turned over and lay face to face with Dou Niangzi, touching Dou Niang's heart, "If I didn't know you were good to me, what would I worry about? If someone provokes me, I just fight and run away. I'm not afraid of wearing shoes when I'm barefoot."

Lady Dou looked at Tian Buli with emotion, "That's good. Knowing that you think so makes me sad and relieved. I don't know how to repay you."

Tian Buli smiled and said, "Let's do it again. I just have so much energy but nowhere to use it!"

The bean lady looked at him charmingly, "Okay, if you are angry, just vent it on me~"

Mr. Bing was sitting in the yard reading a book. He felt relieved when he heard the noise coming from the north room, fearing that the young man would act rashly and do something stupid.

Mr. Bing sighed, saying that when he was young, he neglected his family, fought with others outside and harmed his family, resulting in his father being burned to death and his mother dying of exhaustion at home after years of overwork.

Seeing that Tian Buli was much more sensible than he was when he was young, Mr. Bing went back to his room and studied hard.

The books in the house are already more than one meter high. They are all new and old books that Tian Buli had managed to get from outside recently, and some are rented.
