The life of Lao Liu since 1944

Chapter 176 Beat Guo Bingcong

In the end, it was agreed that Hou Jie would provide him with the music scores, and Zhao Guangliang would provide him with salary and share of the profits.

Zhao Guangliang was very kind and didn't calculate too much. He knew how difficult it was to create a good piece of music.

Many composers cannot create a good song for several years, so the price they pay is very high.

Roughly converted into money, it means that a good piece of music can keep him from worrying about food and drink for three years.

It is just like the old saying goes, "If you don't open for business for three years, you will make enough money for three years after you open it."

Afterwards, Zhao Guangliang solemnly paid for the meal, said goodbye to Hou Jie, and left.

"Well, Young Master, we'll meet again someday."

Hou Jie walked in the streets and alleys, weaving in and out of the bustling crowd.

In his hands, he was holding several portions of delicious food that he had just packed from a roadside food stall. Each portion exuded an enticing aroma. He had prepared them specially for his newly pregnant wife.

He knew that during this special period, his daughter-in-law needed extra care and attention, especially in terms of diet, which could not be neglected.

However, just as he turned into the alley where the Mu family lived, a group of people suddenly emerged from the darkness and blocked his way. Hou Jie frowned, feeling unhappy.

He looked at these people. They looked unfamiliar and it seemed that he had never had any connection with them.

The leader was a thin young man, his eyes were sharp as knives, he held a stick tightly in his hands, and each hand also held a stick. He slapped his palms again and again, making a dull sound, as if he was demonstrating to Hou Jie.

His men all looked ferocious, dressed in shabby clothes, and stood in an untidy manner, and at first glance they were obviously street scoundrels.

"Yaoyao, isn't this the son-in-law of the Mu family? I heard that your business went bankrupt, isn't that a good thing?" One of them said in a sarcastic tone.

When Hou Jie heard the word "Yaoyao", his heart felt as if twisted by something, and an indescribable feeling of disgust instantly surged into his heart.

Thinking back to the dispute with Zhao Guangliang just now, although it was successfully resolved in the end, the result was still good.

The mood that had finally relaxed seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze again because of these two words.

Before he could catch his breath, the street thugs in front of him suddenly jumped out, as if they were here to cause trouble for him. Hou Jie frowned, feeling a little aggrieved, and his tone was naturally not as kind as before.

"Today is really a bad day. I just dealt with one person and now several more come looking for trouble."

Hou Jie rebuked harshly, his words revealing his extreme dissatisfaction with this sudden trouble.

"Where did you come from? I don't know you. It's okay. Get out of here."

Facing the leading thug, Hou Jie showed no weakness and spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Although the leader's tone was unfriendly, it also contained a hint of complaint. He tried to defend himself:

"You don't know me, but I know you. Listen carefully, my name is Guo Bingcong. If you hadn't cheated me and beaten me up like that, leaving me unable to get out of bed for half a month, how could Chunhua marry a despicable person like you?"

Hou Jie's eyes suddenly widened. He carefully looked at the temperament and attire of the man in front of him, and a trace of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth. He squinted his eyes and guessed:

"Humph, it seems like this guy is interested in Chunhua. It's ok to have a crush on her, but he even dares to come here to provoke her. He really overestimates his own abilities."

His expression was somewhat frivolous and arrogant, as if he had the upper hand.

Hou Jie curled his lips in a disdainful smile, as if to tease the other party's anger, and said: "Oh, it seems that you are still my love rival! But I have to tell you in advance, don't accuse me wrongly, I hate being falsely accused the most. I didn't cheat to hit you, this matter has nothing to do with me."

After hearing this, Guo Bingcong's emotions exploded instantly, and he yelled, "You're lying! The people who beat me were obviously your subordinates, how could I admit my mistake! They stood guard at the door of Chunhua's house every day, and as soon as I approached, they beat me. Do you know how much injustice I have suffered?"

As he spoke, his eyes began to turn red, tears welled up in his eyes, and he finally couldn't help but let them fall. His expression was painful and aggrieved, which shocked Hou Jie. What kind of trick was this?

Hou Jie looked at Guo Bingcong's reaction, a little surprised, and explained: "I really don't know about this. Maybe these people are indeed my subordinates, but I didn't tell them to beat you. I once told them to protect Chunhua, maybe they thought you were a bad guy and hurt you by mistake. I'm sorry."

There was a hint of apology and confusion in his tone, as if he was helpless about the behavior of his subordinates.

Hou Jie didn't expect this person to react so violently, and he didn't expect his brothers to do such a thing. He shook his head helplessly and tried to comfort him: "Brother, I'm really sorry for making you feel wronged, but it has already happened, you should think more positively!"

Guo Bingcong cried for a while, wiped his tears, and looked up at Hou Jie.

"Boy, you are done now. No one will protect you anymore. I am going to vent my anger today. Brothers, beat him up. As long as you leave my Chunhua, I will not trouble you again. Otherwise, I will beat you up every time I see you."

Hou Jie said angrily

"What, are you crazy? You want me to leave my wife? Are you sure?"

Guo Bingcong said very confidently, "Yes, I want you to return my Chunhua to me, and then let me beat her up to vent my anger, and then I will let you go."

Mu Chunhua is Hou Jie's Achilles' heel. If anyone dares to tease his wife, he will kill him.

If I hadn’t seen that this person was from the alley, I would have killed him for fear of the bad influence.

"Hey! That's awesome! It's been a long time since someone dared to threaten me so arrogantly in front of me. So what if I'm down and out? I'm not someone that any cat or dog can mess with. If a tiger doesn't show its might, do you really think I'm a sick cat?"

Hou Jie smiled coldly. He didn't waste any time talking nonsense with them.

His movements were swift and precise, and he rushed towards the people in front of him like a gust of wind. Before they could fully react, Hou Jie had already launched his attack.

His footsteps were powerful and ferocious, and each kick was solid. All that could be heard was their pale screams and the heavy sound of their limbs hitting the ground.

"A bunch of idiots, asking me to be awesome to my wife, what the hell are you dreaming of!"

Then, Hou Jie picked up a stick from the ground and hit them hard several times again. Every time the stick fell, they groaned in pain and begged for mercy, and the pain could be felt from the sound.

"Ouch! Ouch!" they cried out in pain.

"Please spare us! We won't dare to do it again!"

One of them even cried out, "Sir, we were really wrong."
