C12 (1/2)

A group of people barged into the yard. The leader was about 30 years old, and he was tall and sturdy. He wore a green robe, and there was an obvious scar on the right side of his face. Five or six youths followed behind him, all of them holding wooden sticks as thick as arms, looking like they were hired men.

His name is Zhang Ba, and he's a hoodlum with a few dozen miles of land. Everyone knows him.” Although he did not commit any heinous acts, he did do a lot of things, such as stealing from a chicken to a dog. In addition, he was a usurper. If he could not pay within the allotted time, then he would have to apologize and bring a group of people to his house to rob. Then, he would leave a message that he would be unable to return the money within a month and sell them as slaves.

After seeing the newcomer, Han Tianhe's expression immediately became unsightly. He quickly walked in front of Zhang Ba and asked, ”Zhang Ba, what are you doing here?”

Zhang Ba coldly snorted and said: ”What are you doing? When are you going to pay me back for the loan?”

”It's not the deadline yet, right?” Han Tianhe did not borrow much money, only ten taels of silver. Originally, he had planned to repay the debt within half a year, but it had only been three months.

Zhang Badao: ”It should have been half a year, but I'm a bit short on money right now, you should pay half first.”

Han Tianhe was currently unable to take out the money. ”Uncle Zhang, please give us a few more days of peace!” He knew that with Zhang Ba's personality, he couldn't be tough at all, so his tone softened.

”Widening the limit?” Zhang Ba sneered and said to the people beside him, ”Go, take away all the valuable things in the house.”

When those people heard this, they took the wooden sticks and walked into the room. Han Tianhe quickly stopped them. ”That won't do. If you take the things away, how will we live?”

”How do you live and what does it have to do with me? What I want now is money.” Zhang Ba suddenly raised his right foot and kicked Han Tianhe's chest. The latter was sent flying and crashed into the ground.

Han Yan and her mother also arrived at the door. A few henchmen saw him and coldly snorted, ”Get out of the way.”

”Stop.” Han Yan's face sank as she said to Zhang Badao, ”Zhang Ba, don't go too far.”

Zhang Ba had been working for so many years, but this was the first time he heard a villager speaking to him in such a tone. When he saw Wang Xiujuan, who was standing beside Han Yan, he said happily, ”That bitch looks like she's not bad. Although she's a bit old, it doesn't matter. You guys grab her and let this grandpa perform for you.”

Wang Xiujuan was only in her thirties. Back then, she was a flower in the village and coincidentally got to know Han Tianhe, who was nearly ten years older than her. The two of them fell in love and became husband and wife regardless of the opposition from their families. Despite the passing of time and the absence of her youth, Wang Xiujuan still exuded a unique charm that other women did not have.

Han Tianhe loved his wife very much. After hearing Zhang Ba's words, he suddenly stood up and picked up a hoe from the courtyard. He angrily said, ”Bastard, I'm going to kill you all.”

Several thugs immediately stopped him, waiting for Zhang Ba to give the order to randomly beat him to death.

The reason why Zhang Ba was able to run amuck like this was all because of his uncle. Although he had never killed anyone, it was common for him to become a cripple.

Seeing Han Tianhe pick up the hoe, Zhang Ba chuckled and said, ”You're heartbroken? ”The worst is yet to come!”

Han Yan's face turned blue, she secretly placed the talisman on her wrist, and angrily said: ”Zhang Ba, you are courting death.”

Zhang Ba did not even put Han Yan in his eyes. He gave a look to the thugs beside him and said, ”That brat said he wouldn't listen, you guys go cripple him.”

Wang Xiujuan only had such a son. It had been so hard to meet him, how could she have seen him crippled? She hurriedly pleaded, ”Uncle Zhang, please let my son go! Whatever you want me to do, I'll listen to you. ” She bit her lower lip, tears streaming down her face. She gave her husband a deep look, then kneeled before Zhang Ba.

Just at the moment she knelt down, Han Yan stopped her, and said seriously, ”Mother, get up, see how I'll take care of them.”

Zhang Ba had seen such an interesting scene before, and laughed: ”Uncle, I will stand right here, I want to see how you're going to get here, if you have the ability then …”

In the courtyard, Zhang Ba's body flew out in a flash of white light, straight out of the courtyard.

Han Yan stood up when she looked at where Zhang Ba was.

The surrounding people were all stunned. Those thugs were looking at each other, and their eyes were filled with fear. They hadn't been able to see clearly how Han Yan had appeared. Moments later, those thugs exclaimed and ran out of the yard to help Zhang Ba up. Zhang Ba's mouth was full of blood, she had lost more than half of her teeth, and that woke him up. She immediately got her subordinates to help him walk in front of Han Yan.

Han Tianhe was also stunned, but when he saw Zhang Ba coming again, he quickly ran in front of his son to protect him. He raised the hoe in his hand and said to Zhang Badao, ”If you want to touch my son, then beat me first … I... You, what are you doing? ”

Before he could finish, he saw Zhang Ba kneel down, kowtowing incessantly, ”Brother, I have eyes but cannot see, please spare me!”

Seeing that Han Tianhe didn't reply, Zhang Ba gritted his teeth and said to the thugs beside him, ”What are you all still standing there for? Kneel down …” With that, he took out a stack of silver bills and passed it to Han Tianhe, begging, ”Big Brother, Uncle, Uncle, I beg of you, please let me go! This money is mine to honor you with. ”
