The strong fisherman in the courtyard

"Girl, go back and do your homework. I'm going to go outside to get some sun."

"Okay, my classmates are coming to our house to play with me in the afternoon, so please give me some treats, brother!" Sister Li Rui stared at her brother with her big eyes and blinked.

Li Ming was speechless. He took out two yuan from his pocket and handed it over. "I didn't have so much pocket money when I was a kid."

"You better spend it sparingly, and don't let your parents know, or you'll definitely get scolded."

Li Rui took the money and ran to the living room, "I know, don't worry."

After sweeping the ground outside again, Li Ming carried his stool out of the house, found a sunny place to sit, and began to absorb the essence of the sun.

The weather is nice today, and there are quite a few people drying quilts and clothes in the yard.

"Hey, Mingzi is basking in the sun!" Yan Fugui came over with a kettle for watering the flowers in his hand and started a conversation.

Seeing this, Li Ming didn't want to lose face and handed him a cigarette. "I don't have anything to do today, so it's good to bask in the sun."

"Uncle, you're not going fishing today?"

Uncle Yan Fugui waved his hand and said, "Well, I go there every day but still can't catch many fish. Let's take a day off today."

The two were chatting happily when Li Ming saw the fat pig Jia Zhang from the middle courtyard rushing over angrily, cursing at Li Ming, "Li Ming, what did you say to my son last night, you little bastard!"

The neighbors looked at the scene and thought, wow! There is excitement here! They stopped what they were doing and rushed to the front yard.

Li Ming was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed, isn’t this the “fish” coming!

So what did I do last night? Last night, the mama's boy Jia Dongxu glared at me, and then I praised Yi Zhonghai for passing the upgrade assessment, and then Jia Dongxu, the bastard, went home to find his mother?

You are so fucking awesome! My old baby.

Li Ming couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Jia Zhang became even more angry when she saw this, "What are you laughing at?"

"You'd better explain everything to me, or I'll make you pay today!" Jia Zhang shouted, holding a broom in her hand.

If you want to make a fuss, make it big. That way you can catch fish happily! Only the system boss can give you good things!

He suppressed his thoughts and said, "Ms. Jia Zhang, I will explain everything to you today!"

"It just so happens that Third Uncle is here too. I'm going to talk to you today about what your beloved Jia Dongxu did when he passed by my place last night!"

"I want to see how you can make me feel good!"

As soon as these words were spoken, those who were watching the fun burst into laughter. Jia Dongxu usually listened to Jia Zhangshi, who always said "my mother said" and "my mother said" all day long, and no one cared. But now he was given the nickname "Big Baby", which made everyone in the yard laugh!

Yan Fugui almost couldn't help himself. He didn't expect Li Ming to be so eloquent! He hadn't even started the battle yet, but he had already won half the battle.

The third uncle Yan Fugui had something to ask of the Li family, not to mention that he had had an unpleasant experience with the Li family before. Naturally, he had to speak on Li Ming's side now to ease the relationship between the two families.

"Ahem. Jia Zhang, stop making trouble! Listen to Mingzi's words!"

"Aren't you seeking justice for your son? Go call Jia Dongxu out and let us all judge the case!"

Jia Zhang returned to the central courtyard angrily again, and it seemed that she was going to call her eldest baby, which made Li Ming laugh!

"This Jia Zhang is quite obedient, haha."

"Haha, Li Ming, you are right!"

"Mingzi, do you want me to go to the street office and call for you?" asked the enthusiastic comrade Zhu Yi.

Li Ming waved his hands. "Oh, is it necessary to call my parents over for such a trivial matter? I'm not a mama's boy!"

"Besides, all the uncles, aunties, brothers and sisters will know it soon. We are right and not afraid!"

"Yes, Mingzi is right!"

"You're so old and still looking for your mother. When will it end? Right!"

There was a lot of booing going on around him, and Jia Dongxu was once again called a "mama's boy". His younger sister Li Rui also came out of the room, "Brother, are you okay?"

Li Ming patted his sister's head and said, "Don't worry, today I'll show you how you can fight against those little bastards of the Jia family!"

"Don't worry, it's okay!"

"If they dare to make a move, I can pin all five of them to the ground and beat them!"

Li Rui felt much more at ease after hearing this. Putting aside other things, if a fight really came to it, there were probably few people in the compound who could beat her brother.

I went back to the house, found a stool and sat in front of the door, waiting for my brother to show off his skills!

Chapter 51: Confused Jia Zhang

When old woman Jia Zhang came to the front yard with her family, basically everyone at home in the three courtyards gathered there.

Li Ming had sharp eyes and just happened to see Yi Zhonghai coming over, and he also glanced at Jia Dongxu along the way.

Tsk, this weakling, cowering behind Qin Huairu, so fucking embarrassing!

Li Ming lit a cigarette for himself and looked at Yi Zhonghai, "Uncle, it's just right for you to come over and give me your opinion on this matter."

"Yesterday, you brought Jia Dongxu to my doorstep. Didn't I just say you were this and gave you a thumbs up? I didn't say anything bad about him, Jia Dongxu from the Jia family, right?"

Yi Zhonghai's face fell. He thought something had happened. After all this time, it turned out that it was this incompetent Jia Dongxu who caused the trouble. He then nodded.

"Look, I've already testified that I didn't say anything bad about your beloved Jia Dongxu, but you, Jia Zhang, came here with a broom and asked me for an explanation? Tell me, what explanation do you want?"

Jia Zhang became arrogant and said, "I don't care. My Dongxu said you made fun of him yesterday! You have to apologize to my Dongxu!"

Li Ming glanced at the old sow and Jia Dongxu who was hiding behind the crowd, and said calmly, "Old man, your son, a rookie, failed the third-level worker assessment. That's his business."

"I've passed the seventh-level worker exam. How can my complimenting you as an old man bother Jia Dongxu?"

"Who does he think he is? Everyone has to pamper him. If he has no ability and can't handle the stimulation, then he can just bang his head against the wall!"

"Don't be such a sissy here with me."

The people around who were watching the fun all burst into laughter when they heard this.

"Haha, that's right, he's not happy when Mingzi praises his master Yi Zhonghai?"

"Yeah, when did anyone laugh at him? Ugly people are more likely to do weird things!"

"There is not a single good person in the Jia family. Bah, what a bunch of crap!"

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu with an unhappy expression.

Li Ming paused, "And you, Jia Zhang, who the hell do you think you are? You're looking for trouble with me with some unfounded things?"

"Count the number of people in your family and your financial situation. How dare you come to trouble me?"

"If you don't believe me, then ask Jia Dongxu, the mama's boy hiding behind the women, to come out and confront me! Whoever tells a lie is a bastard! Ask him if he dares!"

How could Jia Zhang be better than Li Ming? It's fine if you let Jia Zhang scold others, but if she irritates the Li family, they won't have a good life! Do you really think that every family in the courtyard has to give face to the Jia family? Give face to Yi Zhonghai?

Today this matter has been implicated by Yi Zhonghai, plus there were many people watching last night. If Yi Zhonghai dared to blatantly side with the Jia family, his reputation would be cursed for two days!

"Dongxu! Tell me, did that brat Li Ming make fun of you?" Jia Zhang shouted angrily at Jia Dongxu.

Everyone looked at Jia Dongxu with the intention of watching the fun, but who could have thought that this thing would shrink behind Qin Huairu again!

"Haha, look at Jia Dongxu, he's still hiding behind his wife."

"Why doesn't he shrink into Qin Huairu's crotch, haha!"

"This Jia Dongxu is such a disgrace to a man! Bah!"

Qin Huairu's face turned red as she listened to this, and it looked like she was about to explode. He Yuzhu, who was hiding aside and watching the fun, was so fascinated by Qin Huairu that he almost drooled.

Li Ming raised his hand and threw the cigarette butt aside. "Jia Zhang, look at what your son has become. How dare you come and pick a fight with our Li family?"

"Why the hell do you come to me, Li Ming, to ask for an explanation! I should go to your Jia family to ask for an explanation!"

After saying that, he stomped hard on the bluestone slab beneath his feet. With a few "crackling" sounds, the bluestone slab beneath his feet all broke into pieces. The neighbors who were watching the excitement were speechless like chickens and ducks with their necks strangled.

Then Li Ming walked up to Jia Zhang and said, "I'm telling you, old man, our Li family doesn't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either. If you really want to mess with us, then come on."

He looked at the neighbors and bowed, "Everyone has seen today that it was the Jia family who started the trouble. I, Li Ming, am a reasonable person. I am right about what the Jia family said. Today, I have made my point clear. If the Jia family comes to cause trouble again in the future, I will not be polite!"

"Yes, that's right, Mingzi has been a reasonable child since he was young!"

"It's just that the Jia family is making trouble for no reason. Bah! They are bullying Mingzi alone. They are such a piece of shit!"

Jia Zhang listened to the neighbors denouncing the Jia family one by one. Her face turned dark with anger. She dropped the broom in her hand and sat on the ground. "Old Jia! Come up and take a look! Someone is bullying us, an orphan and a widow!"

Jia Zhang had no choice but to use her necromancy spell to cause trouble!

Then I heard a sentence, "Jia Zhang, you are making such a fuss now, which is feudal superstition. Do you believe it or not, I will ask someone to go to the street office to find someone to arrest you."

"That's really a catch without making a sound!"

Li Ming looked at Jia Zhang with a smile on his face and said something, and Jia Zhang immediately shut up. This was because she saw that Li Jia's Wu Fang went to the street office to be on duty today and was not in the yard, so she dared to come and cause trouble. Otherwise, she would not dare to do it even if she had the courage!

"Alright, Jia Zhang, stop howling here. I'm giving you neighbors some face today and won't pursue the matter. Get out of here as soon as possible!"

"Don't let your trivial matter disturb everyone's rest!"

Li Ming waved his hands, chasing people away as if he were shooing away a fly.

"The Li family's children are sensible! Look at what they said, and then look at the group of idiots in the Jia family, bah!"

"Yes, yes, let's go. Mingzi is right. Haha."

The crowd then dispersed in groups of three or five. Since others had given them face, they naturally had to give face back as well.

No one cared about Jia Dongxu’s face which was turning red to purple. He was just a clown, who would want to pay attention to him!

Yi Zhonghai also sighed, bowed to Li Ming, and led the Jia family to the central courtyard.

"Brother, you are so awesome!"

"It's amazing to be able to describe Jia Zhang like this!"

Li Rui looked at her brother with admiration and felt that his whole body was glowing!

Li Ming smiled and patted his sister's head, "Okay, let's go back!"

Then he looked at the Third Uncle Yan Fugui again, "Third Uncle, I appreciate your words today, haha."

Uncle Yan Fugui smiled so hard that wrinkles appeared on his face. "Well, we are friends! It's just a small matter, it's all a small matter, haha."

After saying hello, the third uncle Yan Fugui walked towards his house with his hands behind his back.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for fishing successfully! ]

Chapter 52: "Valuable" Jia Dongxu

[Fishing reward draw times*1, considering that the host pressed Jia Dongxu's face to the ground and rubbed it hard, special rewards are Bajiquan skill*1, Big Black Ten*5, and Rabbit Baby*2. ]

When Li Ming heard about the system reward, he hurried back to the house. He planned to take a good look at the reward Brother Tongzi gave him today.

"Let's keep the lucky draw for now. I want to check out this Bajiquan first. Is it the kind that can knock people out?"

Li Ming happily clicked on the introduction to Bajiquan skills and read it word by word, feeling relieved.

Bajiquan is a traditional martial art that originated in China. The word "Baji" in its name is originally an ancient geographical concept, which comes from the Han Dynasty's "Huainanzi·Topography Training" "Between heaven and earth, there are nine states and eight poles." In martial arts, "Baji" means "the power can reach far away places in all directions."

Bajiquan belongs to the category of short-range boxing, and its movements generally pursue a style of being strong, plain and unpretentious, and exerting force rapidly. In terms of combat techniques, it emphasizes inch-by-inch interception, inch-by-inch grabbing, and hard hitting and hard opening. It has the characteristics of helping, squeezing, leaning, collapsing, and shaking as generally mentioned. Bajiquan exerts force from the heels, moves at the waist, and penetrates the fingertips, so it has great explosive power and is full of combat characteristics.

"Not bad, not bad, this is the version I wanted. Now I am a man who has biubiubiu in the distance and Bajiquan in the near. I don't have to raise my fists and swing the turtle punch when fighting anymore."

"Tai Chi in culture can bring peace to the world, and Bajiquan in martial arts can determine the outcome of the war." This is enough to show the power of Bajiquan. At least in this courtyard, with Li Ming and Bajiquan, ten He Yuzhus cannot withstand it.

"Well, these two bunnies are one male and one female. Why do I feel like Brother Tongzi is mocking Jia Dongxu, a mama's boy?"

"I don't want to think about it anymore. Let me go wash my hands and face first, and then I'll come back and smoke some more."

Li Ming quickly rushed to the second bedroom and washed his face thoroughly. This is because feudal superstition is opposed now, otherwise he would have to light three incense sticks and worship no matter what he said.

"System, lottery!"

[Ding, congratulations to the host for winning a gun license. ]

[ps, reasonable arrangements have been made for the host, please feel free to use it. ]

"Thoughtful, so damn thoughtful, even more thoughtful than Whisper!"

Li Ming took out a small notebook from the space and looked back, "It's really good. If I had this little notebook earlier, I wouldn't have to talk so much nonsense with Yan Fugui at that time."

"Just take it out and it's over!"

Li Ming muttered happily, but it’s not too late now, it will definitely be useful in the future.
