An Jing had witnessed Xiao Changyi’s skills once again, and had also taken care of those three hoodlums. At that moment, An Jing was still very happy.
As she walked up to Xiao Changyi, she laughed and said, "Husband, you really did knock his teeth out."
"He had a dirty mouth." Xiao Changyi, with an expressionless face, lifted his foot and stomped down again. Although the stomp seemed light, it knocked out the remaining half of He Ba’s teeth.
An Jing: "..." Okay, since that man cursed her as a stinky bitch, he deserved to be taught a lesson by her husband. Her husband was really angry.
Xiao Changyi raised his foot and kicked, and He Ba, who was now toothless and sprawled on the ground, was immediately kicked and rolled several times on the ground before stopping more than a meter away from An Jing and Xiao Changyi.
"Get lost." One cold word from Xiao Changyi.
The two lackeys were originally clutching their bellies in cold sweat, but upon hearing Xiao Changyi’s words, they immediately helped He Ba up and hurried off as if a ghost was chasing them. This man was so formidable; he took down all three of them by himself. If they didn’t leave quickly, were they waiting for him to beat them up again?
The onlookers all looked at Xiao Changyi as if they were watching a hero. They had all been bullied by He Ba, the local tyrant, and seeing him get beaten up today made them feel happy and relieved.
Cashier Qian, the shopkeeper of the nearby Jadeite Tavern located around the corner, was fuming with anger after seeing He Ba and his men fail to teach Xiao Changyi and An Jing a lesson and instead were beaten up badly themselves by Xiao Changyi.
There were only five taverns in the town: Jadeite, Hundred Dishes Restaurant, Jixiang, Mingman, and Shuangxi.
Originally, only the Hundred Dishes Restaurant sold dishes flavored with fermented bean curd. But now, Jixiang, Mingman, and Shuangxi had also started selling them. Didn’t that mean that An Jing and Xiao Changyi were the only ones who hadn’t sold the fermented bean curd to them at Jadeite Tavern?
Moreover, even though there were now four taverns selling dishes with fermented bean curd and their business wasn’t as booming as when Hundred Dishes Restaurant was the only one selling them, their business was still decent and had increased a bit compared to usual. Only the Jadeite Tavern’s business was getting colder and colder. Almost all the customers had gone to the other four taverns. How could that not be infuriating!
Cashier Qian was angry, but not really because Jadeite Tavern’s business was poor. He was angry because his boss, Sun Beiwei, the owner of Jadeite Tavern, vented his anger on him, the shopkeeper, when the business was bad.
Then, he said it was An Jing’s and Xiao Changyi’s refusal to sell fermented bean curd to Jadeite Tavern, and there was nothing he could do about it.
After that, Sun Beiwei ordered him to find someone to rough up An Jing and Xiao Changyi to vent his frustration.
But now, not only had he failed to have them roughed up, but they had instead been the ones who got beaten. Feeling extremely stifled, Cashier Qian also wanted to get back at An Jing for her lack of courtesy to him in the past.
After shooting a hateful glance in the direction of An Jing and Xiao Changyi, Cashier Qian flounced off to report back to his boss.
Seeing Cashier Qian leave, An Jing sneered, "Such mediocre tactics."
Turning her head to look at Xiao Changyi, the disdain in her eyes was gone, replaced with sparks of admiration, "Husband, I think—"
But before she could finish, Xiao Changyi interrupted, "Don’t think, just behave."
An Jing: "..." Alright, considering her husband rarely asked her to behave, she would postpone her desire to have a fight with her husband for another time.
On the other side, as soon as Cashier Qian returned to Jadeite Tavern, he went to report the latest news to his boss, Sun Beiwei.
Upon hearing that Xiao Changyi and An Jing had turned the tables on He Ba and his men, Sun Beiwei immediately flew into a rage, slamming the table as he stood up, "Don’t they know whose territory this is? I’ll make sure they regret crossing us!"
