Chapter 10: Outlaws

Everyone's eyes turned to Yuan Yuzhen. Yuan Yuzhen was like an exclamation mark stuck in the middle of the room. There was no answer that fit her more perfectly than her bloated body.

Yuan Yuzhen stared intently at the scarlet characters "For Fattening Only" on the feed bag. Suddenly, she felt dizzy. She thought back to the health-preserving porridge Mrs. He had made for her over the past few months. The strange sweetness she'd experienced after each sip, her inexplicable weight gain, and the recurring heart palpitations that kept coming back day after day...

The decline of morality and the distortion of human nature are not enough to explain the absurdity of this moment.

"No wonder." Xiao Li stammered, "No wonder Sister Yuan suddenly gained weight in the past two months..."

Ah Biao's fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound. "Sister Yuan has a weak heart. This is clearly murder!"

Before He Sao's words were stuck in her throat, Ah Biao rushed forward like an enraged rhino, his rough hands like iron clamps grasping He Sao's hair. "Fuck your ancestors! I'm going to kill you, you old beast, today."

Yuan Yuzhen's face turned purple, and her carefully styled curly hair exploded like an angry lion. She screamed and pounced on He Sao, and her mountain-like body pressed her to the ground. He Sao's eyes rolled back in an instant.

"Bitch!"

Yuan Yuzhen's rhinestone-studded nails plowed bloody streaks into He Sao's face. With Ah Biao's arms pinned, He Sao could only manage a sporadic whine. Xiao San, cowering in the corner, was about to rush to her mother's rescue when Yuan Yuzhen backhanded her and slapped her to the ground. Wang Hui, seeing the situation, intervened, feigning a break in the fight while actually shielding Xiao San with his back. Yuan Yuzhen's elbow accidentally pierced his nose, drawing blood.

Xiao Zhang, Xiao Li, and Xiao Wang also joined in the fight, some trying to stop them, some trying to finish off the enemy. The whole room instantly turned into an arena, with the sounds of tearing, cursing, and furniture breaking mixed together.

Feng Man really couldn't get involved. She stamped her feet anxiously, fearing that Yuan Yuzhen would get angry and something bad would happen, and also afraid that she would kill her and cause a lawsuit.

Turning to look at Xia Chi, he looked like an outsider. He tilted his head slightly, looking past the scuffling crowd and staring straight at the half-open wardrobe. His focused look seemed as if there was a layer of frosted glass between him and the crying, shouting and smashing around him.

[What a bloodless killing tactic! It not only turned Yuan Yuzhen into a disgusting fat woman, but also planted the seeds of trouble in her heart...]

[But even if I call the police, adding pig feed to someone's food is at most a civil dispute...]

[We need to think of a solution. If we really hurt someone, we'll end up going to jail. It's not worth it to do this for such a scum.]

How can we punish these people who eat up all their families?

Xia Chi was crouching down and groping in the closet when he suddenly felt a shadow covering him, which scared him.

"Man...Sister Man..."

Feng Man's lips curled up slowly, and her eyebrows curved into two crescents - the smile seemed gentle and amiable at first glance, but in this situation, it had a kind of inappropriate horror.

"Xia Chi, what are you looking for?"

Xia Chi swallowed his saliva and ran his fingers across the quilt: "Haha, I'm not looking for anything... I just think these quilts are packed so neatly, with sharp edges..."

[It's as if there's something hard hidden inside.]

"Yeah, why does it look like there's something inside?" Feng Man narrowed her eyes meaningfully: "Why don't you open it and take a look?"

Xia Chi was stunned.

[Manjie is such a great help! She even guessed that the old witch had hidden something.]

Feng Man pulled out the quilt neatly, opened the storage bag outside, and spread out the mattress. The air in the whole room froze the moment she did so.

There were six bottles of Feitian Moutai and several soft Zhonghua cigarettes neatly stacked inside. The most exaggerated thing was that there were several boxes of beautifully packaged Cordyceps sinensis stacked in the corner.

Yuan Yuzhen's breathing suddenly became heavy, and she pointed at the stolen goods with a trembling hand: "Isn't this... something I put in the study?"

Mrs. He was furious: "These are all mine, I saved them."

"You're talking nonsense!" Xiao Zhang scolded her, "How could a nanny like you save all that? How did you do it? I think you stole it!"

Xia Chi ignored Mrs. He's sophistry, and slowly took out a velvet bag from the innermost part. He opened the package, and an aquamarine the size of a pigeon egg appeared in front of him, with several gold rings and necklaces next to it.

Feng Man's eyes were sharp: "Yuzhen, isn't this the aquamarine you bought at Christie's last year? How dare you steal it..."

[The amount of theft is extremely large, enough to warrant a sentence of ten years to life imprisonment.]

[This is more satisfying than beating someone up.]

Mrs. He's face instantly turned ashen, and she clasped Wang Hui's arm tightly. "These... are all gifts from Wang Hui to my daughter! Isn't that right, Wang Hui?"

Feng Man: "Oh~ So it was Wang Hui who transferred the common property during the marriage."

Wang Hui froze in place, beads of sweat the size of beans oozing from his forehead. He hadn't expected Mrs. He to do so many things.

Feng Man: "Zhenzhen, I remember you said your study had surveillance cameras installed. Just turn it on and take a look and you'll know."

"Call the police, Xiao Li, call 110 right now!" Yuan Yuzhen couldn't stand it any longer: "I've raised a whole nest of rats."

When Mrs. He heard they were going to call the police, she collapsed to the ground and burst into tears: "I'm innocent..."

Wang Hui licked his face and approached Yuan Yuzhen: "Yuzhen, considering that Sister He has taken care of you for so many years, please forgive her this time. I will make her spit out everything, and we can discuss it privately."

"Shut up." Yuan Yuzhen glared at him fiercely and said, "If I hadn't supported you back then, your troupe would have closed down long ago."

She stared at Wang Hui intently. "I'll ask you one last time. Did you know that you mixed pig feed into my food?"

Wang Hui pointed to the heavens and swore, "If I knew, I would be struck by lightning."

He truly didn't know. He simply wanted to enjoy the best of both worlds: someone making money to support him, and the Yang family mother and daughter praising him like an emperor. Isn't that the ultimate bliss?

Xia Chi's gaze swept across Wang Hui's dark eye bags and sunken temples.

[Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, but the good times are coming to an end. My tear troughs are black, and my well and stove are empty. This is because I'm about to have a stroke from overindulgence.]

[In order to help her daughter keep the man, Mrs. He might have given him some aphrodisiac. With his physical condition, he will suffer from hemiplegia in two years.]

[This kind of freeloader, why not keep it for the New Year? ]

Xia Chi moved to Xiao San's side calmly, lowered his eyes to look at her carefully painted face, and sighed in his heart.

[Alas, such a beautiful girl, it's a pity that she was taught badly. Yang Jun stole wine, He Sao stole jewelry, and the daughter cheated on her husband. The family tradition is not right.]

[Once the two old men are in jail, what will happen to this daughter?]

[Wang Hui will inevitably be more compassionate to her. Breaking off the relationship is impossible.]

[But once Wang Hui collapses in bed, will this little devil still be able to take care of his shit and piss? All those vows and promises will be undone, and she might even run away with the money.]

Yuan Yuzhen: “!!!!”

Divorce! Divorce is necessary!

******

Xia Chi came early again.

Ever since he became a Taoist, his biological clock has also become more Taoist. The morning is full of spiritual energy, which is the best time to regulate breathing. So before the rooster crows, he opens his eyes and starts to circulate his energy in the small circulation.

I haven't slept in since then.

In dreams, there is a golden house, in dreams, there is a beautiful woman, but that sweet, beautiful and fragrant dream is gone forever.

I feel like I missed out on 10 billion!!!

[No!]

Xia Chi covered his chest, feeling melancholy as if he had been heartbroken.

[In the previous life, I committed many evil deeds, so in this life, I have to get up early to move bricks. In the previous life, I killed and robbed people, so in this life, I have to get up early to meditate! ]

[Why should I get up when the sun hasn't even risen yet?! I want to knock the world down with one punch! !]

[Who invented good morning? What's so good about morning? I want to scream. Ahhhh! People and animals can empathize. I can understand chickens. They wake up early and scream!]①

Ahhhhhh!

Du Binquan came to the crew early in the morning and became a victim of noise. Xia Chi lay on a chair in the corridor with his face up, his face covered by the script, motionless.

He looks like he is dying, but in fact he is going crazy inside his head.

What's wrong with this?

The farce in Yuan Yuzhen's family not long ago had reached Du Binquan's ears through various channels.

Fortunately, with Xia Chi's help, the nanny and her family were sent to the police station that night. According to the surveillance footage retrieved by the police and the stolen goods found at the scene, there were about three million yuan. The driver and the nanny were both involved, and I'm afraid they will both go to jail.

Yuan Yuzhen acted decisively, hiring a top law firm to prepare for a lawsuit. She is currently cooperating with police to assess her injuries. The hormones in the pig feed have caused irreversible damage to her heart, liver, and kidneys, and she is expected to require long-term rehabilitation.

She had already booked a suite in a high-end sanatorium. Before leaving, she called Du Binquan and asked him to take good care of the beast and to use him in the future.

"Ahem."

Du Bin was just trying to make conversation: "Xia Chi, are you too idle? Have you memorized the lyrics yet?"

Being asked this question so early in the morning was simply too unlucky. Xia Chi felt like a primary school student who was caught by the head teacher for not finishing his homework.

I replied weakly: "I have memorized it."

[If you don't memorize it well, it's useless even if you do.]

What do you mean useless? Du Binquan was secretly angry.

If Xia Chi can't even do the basic skills of an actor, no matter how many more roles he is given, it will be useless and he will not be reused.

Xia Chi pulled the script off his face.

[Alas, if I had known he would come today, I would not have come.]

[I can't film the martial arts tournament, all my makeup is wasted.]

Du Binquan started to have a headache again. Why did the divine beast always have nothing good to say?

What do you mean it couldn’t be filmed?

Is there going to be another bloody disaster?

Du Bin turned on all his body radars and stared at the scene nervously.

The workers in the yard are setting up the outdoor scene. What they are going to shoot today is a martial arts conference. In fact, it is just a jackpot to let heroes from all walks of life come to the arena to compete, in order to show that the male protagonist is unrivaled in the martial arts world.

The male protagonist has to defeat all the NPCs including Tianji Taoist, and then take the lead and win the prize to present to the female protagonist.

Yes, this is the director abusing his power to add scenes for Xia Chi!!!

It's both inexplicable and unnecessary.

"Why."

Xia Chi looked at the gloomy sky, and his morning mood silently transformed into magnificent poetic sentiment.

If you don’t have enough talent, you can make up for it with idioms.

[The weather is not right, time is not on my side, the rain is pouring down, the bucket is pouring down, the rain is pouring down from the sky, the rain is strong and the wind is raging, the rain is covering the clouds, turning my hand into clouds, the clouds are falling and the water is flowing, the years are like water, the water is flooding the Golden Mountain...]

Shut up, crow.

Du Binquan looked at the newly set up arena and had a bad feeling.

Is this guy hinting that it's going to rain heavily?

No, no, the weather forecast only said it would be cloudy?

Did I remember it wrong?

Du Binquan took out his cell phone to check the weather. Just as he saw the words "cloudy to sunny", he heard a loud thunder.

He was so scared that his hands trembled.

Facts speak louder than words.

Damn, this guy is more accurate than the weather forecast.

Before the rainstorm arrived, Du Binquan quickly asked the workers to move all the equipment on the ring into the house, and recruited more people to temporarily change the outdoor scene into an indoor scene.

There's no way I could handle this. My whole morning's work is just going to go to waste.

Xia Chi was bored, his hands drooping on his legs, tapping the rhythm and shaking his head.

"Alas, I still can't avoid it. It's going to rain."

[The weather is getting colder, so Du's going bankrupt, right?]

Du Binquan paused and almost tripped over the electric wire.

“…”

Thank you for thinking of me so much.

Xia Chi's gaze suddenly focused on Du Binquan's bald head.

【Huh? The bad luck has dissipated.】

This is unscientific.

He narrowed his eyes again.

[…This bandit’s face is inexplicably adorable. Could it be because I’m in love? Hey, I’ve actually grown fond of him these past few days. What’s going on?]

His eyes swept down Du Binquan's suit.

My knees are in much better shape than usual. It seems like I haven't kneeled on a durian in a while. Is my wife in a better mood?

I heard he took some time off recently to take his wife for a checkup. I wonder if she was found to have a brain problem.

[Wait, why did he change his assistant? Where's Xiao Li? ]

[This isn't right. Why aren't we following the script? I need to do some math...]

Xia Chi suddenly straightened up and started counting with his ten fingers, wishing he could use even his toes.

[What? His wife has already been admitted to the provincial hospital! The surgery is scheduled for the eighth day of next month!]

【Xiao Li was fired?!】

[What a joy! Both of these bombs have been eliminated! ]

Xia Chi suddenly looked up and stared at Du Binquan with burning eyes.

[Is this old guy cheating? ]

[Did he find some expert to help him change his luck? ]

[Who on earth is this amazing person?! His skills are simply unparalleled and astonishing! !]
