Chapter 482: If You Want to Fight, Then Fight!
Chapter 482: If You Want to Fight, Then Fight!
With a single punch, Li Qingjie was knocked down by Zhou Chenglei.
The pain was excruciating, causing him to cry out in agony, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
Li Xiuxian was so frightened that she screamed.
Li Qingmin quickly rushed forward to separate them.
Zhou Chengxin, startled, hurriedly jumped off the boat.
Why did they suddenly start fighting?
Zhou Chenglei's punches were swift and fierce, delivering three heavy blows to Li Qingjie.
The first punch was for Jiang Xia,
The second for the three children,
And the third for his second brother!
That guy was truly despicable!
He had endured enough!
How dare he provoke Jiang Xia and make her angry?
He must have a death wish!
Didn't he know that a pregnant woman shouldn't be upset?
Li Qingjie was in so much pain that he couldn't even fight back, and his attempts to cry for help were futile.
Zhou Chenglei forcefully shook off Li Qingmin, who had tried to pull him away.
Li Qingmin was sent flying by Zhou Chenglei's force.
He covered his chest, which had been painfully struck by Zhou Chenglei's elbow, and fell heavily onto the beach, landing in the water.
The early spring weather was still chilly, and even though it had warmed up in recent days, getting wet in the morning was still very cold.
Li Qingmin quickly got up, his face turning blue, lips purple, and teeth chattering.
After the fight, Zhou Chenglei returned to Jiang Xia's side and supported her, asking, "What did they say to make you angry?"
Li Xiuxian: "..."
Li Qingmin: "..."
Li Qingjie: "..."
So, they beat someone to the ground without even knowing what happened?
Li Xiuxian's face turned as red as pig liver, and she was so furious that she felt like her lungs were about to explode. "Zhou Chenglei, you've gone too far! I'm going to tell your second brother!"
Who would be so unreasonable?
This was too much!
Just then, Zhou Chensen returned with his daughter. He had seen the scene from the road and quickly stopped his bicycle, telling his daughter to go home and play with Zhou Zhou before rushing down.
"What's going on?" Zhou Chensen asked.
"Your brother is being unreasonable. He hit someone without saying a word! This is my brother! He didn't give him any face and just started fighting!"
Zhou Chensen turned to Zhou Chenglei without paying attention to Li Xiuxian's words.
Zhou Chenglei didn't bother to respond to them, "I don't know, ask them!"
If you want to fight, then fight!
If a problem can be solved with fists, why waste time talking?
He didn't want to listen to their explanations.
Anyway, Jiang Xia couldn't be wrong!
And no one should make her angry!
Zhou Chenglei hugged Jiang Xia and spoke gently, "Let's go, you wait for me at the purchase point."
There were still many fish on the boat, and he needed to sell them.
Li Xiuxian protested, "My brother just said something wrong, and he apologized. I and my older brother have apologized too. Was it necessary to hit him like that? It was just a few words, did he break the law?"
Jiang Xia cradled her growing belly. Although it was getting bigger, she didn't usually hold it, but at this moment, she had to. She patted her belly and said, "It depends on what was said! Heartless and ungrateful!"
Li Xiuxian: "..."
Jiang Xia didn't say much more and walked away with Zhou Chenglei.
He Xinghuan, being of higher status, was like a grandmother to them in terms of seniority. Fearing that Li Xiuxian might cause trouble and affect the relationship between the brothers, she explained what had happened, "Ah Xian asked her older brothers to follow Ah Xin and Ah Lei's boat out to sea. Then your little uncle said this: 'They don't like us following them!' and Ah Xian said..." He Xinghuan paused, "...and I happened to overhear it with Xiao Xia."
After explaining, He Xinghuan quickly left as well.
It was difficult for a fair judge to handle family matters, and she couldn't say too much.
Li Xiuxian angrily said, "Yes, that's what we said. Is it against the law? It's just a small matter. We only said a few words that might have been misunderstood. We've apologized! It's Jiang Xia..."
Zhou Chensen patiently listened to her.
Li Xiuxian finished her explanation without exaggerating.
"Zhou Chenglei didn't know anything, and he just came and punched my brother three times, and threw my older brother into the water. Do you think he treats you like a brother?"
(End of Chapter 482)
"So, you're saying Xia Xia was right? Did he show any respect or give you any face?"
Zhou Chengsen's temples throbbed visibly with anger.
He had initially planned to wait for Li Xiuxian to dismiss her brothers herself, but he couldn't hold it in any longer! "Ah Lei hit me because he sees me as his second brother! Xia Xia was right!"
Ah Lei's reason for throwing three punches was all too clear to him!
One of those punches was definitely meant for him.
It was to help him!
Li Xiuxian was so furious she could barely breathe. "What are you talking about?"
Li Qingjie, lying on the beach, had been in too much pain to speak, but now he managed to say, "I didn't say anything wrong. They really don't like us going out to sea with them, and we're not blind to that!"
At home, Li Qingjie had often heard Li Qingmin talk about how, in the past, when they first went out to sea, Zhou Chenglei and the others would barely wait for them.
This clearly showed they didn't want to take them along.
It was all there in black and white, in the records of the 691st issue of the fishing journal!
Zhou Chengsen didn't even glance at Li Qingjie and his brother; he spoke directly to Li Xiuxian, "Starting tomorrow, your brother and father won't be going out to sea! They know why, and you should feel the same! If you want evidence, that can be arranged!"
Zhou Chengsen left those words behind and ran towards Jiang Xia.
He also needed to go and apologize.
Li Xiuxian was completely dumbfounded!
Li Qingmin's heart sank.
Had they been found out?
Impossible!
Li Qingjie: "..."
What's going on? How did things escalate to the point of firing them?
He turned to Li Xiuxian, "Little sister!"
Li Xiuxian, furious, said, "Don't worry about him. I said I'd invite him, and I will! He's just talking nonsense. You two go home first!"
Li Xiuxian hurriedly ran after Zhou Chengsen.
He had gone too far!
The brothers felt relieved.
Soaked to the bone and shivering, Li Qingmin quickly helped Li Qingjie up and headed home.
Li Xiuxian caught up and grabbed Zhou Chengsen, "What's wrong with you? Do you still consider my brothers your brothers, and Ying Ying's uncles?"
Zhou Chengsen gave a cold laugh, "I consider them brothers, that's why I didn't call the police!"
Li Xiuxian: "What do you mean?"
"You didn't invite your uncle, but a rat! A rat that only knows how to steal rice from the rice jar!"
Indeed, the old uncle and the rat were quite similar, a rat with an uncle's title.
The Li brothers had also approached and overheard this conversation.
"Ah Sen, what do you mean? What proof do you have? Do you still see me as your older brother?"
Li Qingmin, as the older brother, felt his face burning with embarrassment. Even though he felt guilty, he was also angry and couldn't help but raise his voice in protest!
The fish they sold before were caught during their work hours, and the little sister had said that the fish they caught while fishing belonged to them.
Even if they sold some trawl-caught fish and small tube squid, those were caught by their own brother-in-law, so could it be considered stealing?
It could only be seen as helping out their in-laws!
Their in-laws had raised their little sister, and they even let her study and become a teacher!
Now, the little sister earned a good income every month, and it was all thanks to the Zhou family. How could they be ungrateful?
And now, taking some fish to sell, what's the big deal? They were all family!
Li Qingjie also spoke up, angry, "Little sister, we work hard, day and night, facing the wind and waves to help you fish. Is this how you see us? Which of your eyes saw us stealing your fish? You're so ungrateful!"
At that moment, a small truck drove up and stopped beside them.
Hou Ye rolled down the window and said to Li Qingmin, "Comrades, so you're from this village! You don't need to sell your small tube squid at the city wharf anymore! Just sell them to Zhou Chenglei from your village! I'll buy them, and he can deliver them to me."
Li Qingmin: "..."
Li Qingjie: "..."
