The carefree life of Yang Shuisheng, the village miracle doctor

"Big brother! It's him!"

The man who had his fingers broken and claimed to be surnamed Tang saw his elder brother leading a group of burly men rushing out, and his face immediately showed a mixture of wild joy and resentment.

"It was this little bastard who did it!"

He endured the excruciating pain and pointed directly at Yang Shuisheng with his intact finger, his voice sharp with pain and anger: "Look what he's done to my finger!"

"And Lili's face, he hit her there too!"

"Big brother, you have to help me get revenge today, kill him!"

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, spitting as he spoke, as if he couldn't wait to see Yang Shuisheng kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

However, when Tang Yong, the middle-aged man in a chef's uniform whom he called "Big Brother," saw the young man standing at the bottom of the steps with his hands in his pockets and an expressionless face, his anger froze instantly, replaced by astonishment and fear.

Of course he knows Yang Shuisheng!

Some time ago, he personally witnessed how polite and even respectful his boss, Wang Kun, was to this young man.

He also knew that this young man had cured Kun Ge's father. Kun Ge had privately told them, his old brothers, many times to treat Yang Shuisheng with the same respect as if he were the man himself!

Tang Yong's back instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Kid! Weren't you pretty arrogant just now?"

"what?"

However, his good-for-nothing younger brother, Tang Ping, was completely oblivious to the drastic change in his older brother's expression. He continued to shout recklessly, pointing at Yang Shuisheng with his severed finger, his face contorted with rage: "Show me what you've got if you act arrogant again!"

"Now that my older brother is out, why aren't you saying anything? Have you become mute?"

"Where did that bravado go? Did you chicken out?"

The onlookers and diners around them were all holding their breath for Yang Shuisheng.

They all recognized Tang Yong, knowing that he was the manager of Yuelai Restaurant and a key figure in Wang Kun's rise to power. He was a notorious ruthless character in Daliang Town, a man with blood on his hands.

Now that his brother has been beaten like this, given Tang Yong's temper, this young man is probably in big trouble.

However, what happened next surprised everyone.

Instead of rushing towards Yang Shuisheng as everyone expected, Tang Yong suddenly turned around, raised his foot, and kicked his younger brother Tang Ping hard in the stomach.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud!

Caught off guard, Tang Ping was kicked and sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a pillar at the restaurant entrance. He then slipped and fell to the ground, wincing in pain and nearly vomiting up his dinner from the night before. He was completely dazed.

"Big brother, why...why did you hit me?" Tang Ping clutched his stomach, looked up, his face full of disbelief and grievance. "The person who hit me is over there, you hit the wrong person!"

Tang Yong didn't give him a chance to explain at all. He rushed forward and delivered another loud slap to Tang Ping's face.

"Snap—"

This slap was even louder than the one Yang Shuisheng had given the woman earlier, making Tang Ping see stars and causing half of his face to swell up.

"Shut up!" Tang Yong pointed at Tang Ping, shouting angrily, his voice filled with a mixture of disappointment and lingering fear. "Open your dog eyes and see clearly, this is Brother Yang!"

"If you dare utter another word of nonsense, I'll break your legs today!"

Tang Ping was completely stunned by the slap. He covered his face and looked at his older brother, who usually took good care of him, but now looked like an angry lion. He had no idea what had happened.

He muttered aggrievedly, "Big brother... he hit me and Lili, and you... why are you still helping him? I'm your own brother!"

"So what?" Tang Yong glared at him, his voice carrying an undeniable air of authority. "Brother Yang is Brother Kun's brother! Who do you think you are, daring to be so insolent in front of Brother Yang?"

"Hurry up and apologize to Brother Yang!"

The words "Brother Kun" struck Tang Ping like five thunderbolts.

His eyes widened instantly, and the slight grievance and anger on his face vanished quickly, replaced by shock and unbelievable fear.

He glanced at his older brother's serious, almost cold expression, then at the young man below the steps who seemed completely unaffected, and felt a chill run down his spine.

He finally understood!

Why didn't the older brother hit the young man, but instead hit himself?

It turns out this young man is actually Kun's brother!

He was actually insulting Kun Ge's brother the whole time?

They even threatened to make him walk out of Brother Kun's restaurant sideways?

Upon realizing this, Tang Ping's face turned deathly pale, and his body began to tremble slightly. He dared not utter another word.

"Brother Yang! Brother Yang! I'm so sorry!"

When Tang Yong saw that his younger brother had finally realized the seriousness of the problem, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body trembled. Although he was annoyed that his brother was so blind, he was more afraid that Yang Shuisheng would take his anger out on him and even affect Kun Ge's opinion of him.

"This is my younger brother, Tang Ping!"

"It's all my fault for not disciplining him properly. He drank some horse urine and then he didn't know who he was anymore, offending you and this young lady."

He quickly turned around, his face plastered with a humble and ingratiating smile, and bowed repeatedly to Yang Shuisheng, his voice filled with utmost sincerity and fear.

"You are a magnanimous person, please don't take it to heart."

"I'll definitely teach him a lesson later!"

"Brother Kun is already waiting for you in the private room upstairs. Please don't let this little thing spoil your fun."

After he finished speaking, he saw that Yang Shuisheng remained expressionless and silent, only looking at him with a calm gaze that made him feel uneasy. He felt even more anxious and under immense pressure.

"You good-for-nothing."

He gritted his teeth, turned around abruptly, and kicked Tang Ping, who was still slumped on the ground clutching his broken finger and swollen face, several times, cursing, "Get up and kneel down right now! Apologize to Brother Yang and this girl."

"If I don't get Brother Yang's forgiveness today, I'll disown you as my brother."

Tang Ping howled as he was kicked, but he didn't dare to utter a single complaint at that moment.

"Brother Yang! Brother Yang! I was blind to your greatness."

He scrambled to his feet, then knelt before Yang Shuisheng and Yu Qianwei with a thud. Ignoring the excruciating pain in his fingers and the swelling on his face, he kowtowed repeatedly, his voice trembling with sobs, "It was my fault for being so talkative! I deserve to die!"

"Please, forgive me this time, I promise I'll never do it again."

"Miss, I'm so sorry, it was my foul mouth that offended you. Please, please put in a good word for me with Brother Yang and forgive me!"

His current demeanor is completely different from his arrogant and domineering appearance just now; he is like a completely different person.

The onlookers were also dumbfounded.

Their gazes toward Yang Shuisheng were filled with awe. No one had expected that he would have such a status, that he could make Tang Yong, the person in charge of Yuelai Restaurant, so fearful, and even make his younger brother Tang Ping kneel down and beg for mercy in public.

"Oh? Weren't you quite arrogant just now?"

Yang Shuisheng looked at Tang Ping, who was kneeling on the ground in a disheveled state, and then at Tang Yong, who was standing beside him looking terrified and carefully apologizing. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke slowly.

"If I remember correctly, you just said you'd make me pay the price, and that I'd leave here strangled?"

His voice carried an invisible sense of pressure, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Why are you chickening out now?"

"Where did that murderous urge go?"
