After the livestream, Zhao An began handing out red envelopes, each one a thousand yuan. It wasn't much, but the thought was enough.
Neither of the second and third aunts came; they were busy at home. Women are bound to be busy. They had to kill chickens, cook, and whip up some special country snacks to add to the festive atmosphere, leaving little time for true enjoyment.
After lunch, Zhao An returned to his room and continued typing away on his computer, monitoring the progress of his garden complex. After all, he had his own secret laboratory underneath.
The New Year's Eve dinner would be early, so after finishing early, he could go out and visit friends. Those who played mahjong could play, and the children could have fun. If the mood struck, they could even watch the Spring Festival Gala at home.
The extra free time was perfect for other things, so don't underestimate the fact that lunch had just ended.
After washing the dishes, the youngest and eldest aunts began preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. Lunch was just a simple meal, and the main meal was in the evening.
"Why don't we ask Third Aunt to come over and eat? It's really pitiful living alone," Zhao An said to his mother as he entered the living room.
Zhao Xinlei nodded. "Okay, go get her. Living alone is really pitiful."
In fact, Zhao An only needed to move his hips for Zhao Xinlei to know what he was up to, but she usually turned a blind eye. Sometimes, her son's rapid development made her a little worried.
Luckily, Qian Yuling was quite considerate. As she told Zhao Xinlei, "It's normal for men to want to release stress. Holding it in for too long can lead to problems. If he can't satisfy them, let him do what he wants. Just don't let anything happen."
If even his wife agreed, what else could she, as a mother, say?
The three cousins didn't come along, but instead helped make dumplings in the living room. If it weren't for their grandmother, they would probably have been wearing bellybands and going topless, which made things more interesting.
Zhao An arrived at his third aunt's house. Even during the Lunar New Year, it seemed a bit deserted. However, there seemed to be a quarrel coming from the house, as if they were shouting and arguing about something.
Entering the house, he saw a burly woman with her hands on her hips, pointing at his third aunt. "Xu Xuejiao, you vixen! My brother is like this because of you. You better give me an explanation, or we'll call the police!"
The third aunt felt a little aggrieved. "What does this have to do with me? I didn't know it would happen, and I didn't even see him last night!"
Besides the woman, there were two other men, seemingly there to join in the demonstration.
"Wow, so many people gathered here? Are you bullying us because we don't have anyone here?" Zhao An sneered, pushing past the two men who were blocking his way and heading over.
"Hey! Brat, who are you? Stop touching me!" A burly middle-aged man roared in frustration, seeming a bit short-tempered.
"I'm Zhao An, and this is my Third Aunt. I advise you not to cause trouble. If you have anything to say, please clarify. If you're trying to play dirty, I'm happy to oblige. I have plenty of money. Even if I don't work for a year, I can still earn hundreds of billions. How can you guys even work for a year? Fighting me? You'd better be careful when you talk to me." Zhao An stood in front of the Third Aunt, acting like a real man.
Xu Xuejiao stared at Zhao An's back. This nephew seemed to become taller at that moment, shielding her from the wind and rain.
"Xiao An, it's none of your business," the Third Aunt whispered, but Zhao An glared at her and she dared not speak.
"So it's Boss Zhao. The truth is, my brother has already agreed to marry your Third Aunt. Last night, when he came to visit your Third Aunt, he fell at the foot of the mountain and is still at home. He even broke his leg. Don't you think he deserves an explanation?" the barrel-chested peasant woman asked with a hint of questioning in her voice.
"Oh? What does it have to do with us if he fell down on his own? So, if your brother-in-law broke his leg while trying to commit adultery with you, are you responsible too?" Zhao An scoffed.
This made the plump peasant woman scream. "Don't talk nonsense! I'll beat you to death!"
Slap! Zhao An slapped the woman down with one slap. He had no business avoiding hitting women. "Stop talking nonsense! This matter has nothing to do with my Third Aunt. What's your brother trying to do by coming to my Third Aunt in the middle of the night? It's rape. Okay, come on, call the police. I'll get a lawyer to help you guys."
Zhao An picked up the phone and was about to call the police when a man suddenly rushed over and punched him.
Bang! Zhao An kicked the man, sending him flying and slamming into the wall. He was so exhausted he couldn't get up for a long time, a testament to how badly he'd been beaten.
Another man even pulled out a sickle, seemingly furious after being accused of adultery.
"Xiao An, be careful!" Third Aunt's heart leaped into her throat. Seeing the sharp sickle, her heart twisted, and she felt a pang of fear for Zhao An.
Slap! As the man charged, Zhao An calmly slapped him across the face, leaving him stunned.
"You're imitating others with a knife before you even have a hair?" Zhao An's tone was as if he were lecturing a child, but the man before him was at least fifty years old, and the contrast of being lectured like that would have infuriated him to death!
"I'll fuck you!" Slap! Before the man could finish his words, Zhao An slapped him again, knocking him to the ground.
"You're a loser. What else can you do besides commit adultery with your sister-in-law?" Zhao An sneered.
Glancing around at the three of them, he pulled out five hundred yuan and threw it out. "Take these five hundred yuan and get out of here! If you bother my Third Aunt again, I'll have your house burned down and have you all arrested!"
The plump peasant woman immediately went to pick up the money like a dog, then supported her husband.
The man who had been kicked suddenly slapped the woman in the face. "Are you cheating on me?" It seemed he had believed Zhao An's words and was already suspicious of his wife.
"You! You're crazy! Get out of here! Don't stay here!" The plump peasant woman lost her fierceness; her meekness stemmed from a guilty conscience.
Zhao An grabbed the man he'd slapped twice and tossed him out, as if he were throwing away trash. "Get out! If I see you again, I'll break your legs!"
It was so clean and efficient, without a trace of hesitation, that Third Aunt Xu Xuejiao's heart throbbed.
