"Cough, cough, cough"
The gang leader was hit, his head buzzing, and his face aching so much that he spat out blood and couldn't speak.
Upon seeing this scene, everyone around the market was stunned.
This gang leader had been bullying people for many years, and no one dared to provoke him.
Now, he had been beaten up?
In an instant, everyone present looked at Xu Hao with utmost astonishment and shock.
The gang leader gritted his teeth and struggled to stand up, "Bastard, dare to hit me? Tell me your name!"
Xu Hao remained silent and walked over, slapping him again with a loud smack.
"Damn it, you hit me again? Do you know who I am?"
Smack!
Another slap!
"Fuck, my name is Xu Dabao. My sister-in-law's husband is Xu Maocai, from Xu Village. He's the manager of the Marketing Department here. If you dare to hit me, he won't let you off..."
Smack!
Another slap!
"I"
Smack!
Another slap.
Xu Hao's eyes were cold and fierce, his face expressionless as he delivered blow after blow, turning Xu Dabao's face into a swollen mess that even his mother wouldn't recognize.
His teeth were broken, blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth, and blood was also flowing from his nose and ears. His head buzzed as he fell to the ground.
At this moment, he saw stars everywhere, and the pain in his head and face was unbearable.
"My name is Xu Hao, also from Xu Village. If you want revenge, come for me." Xu Hao looked down at him coldly.
"Alright, Xu Hao, I'll remember you. I won't let you off!"
Xu Dabao stood up, glared at Xu Hao maliciously, and then turned to leave.
After he left, the gangsters who came with him also left, enduring the pain.
"Good!"
"Little brother, you're amazing! You've not only vented your anger for your grandparents, but also for us."
"I've always wanted to teach Xu Dabao a lesson. Now, finally seeing them being beaten up, it's so satisfying!"
"Young man, you're doing a good deed for the people. Well done!"
As Xu Dabao and his men left, many stall owners clapped and cheered for Xu Hao, giving him thumbs up.
They had all been extorted by Xu Dabao's gang before, but due to fear of his violence and the influence of his sister-in-law's husband, they dared only to be angry but not to speak.
Now, seeing Xu Hao beat up Xu Dabao, they felt immensely pleased.
Xu Hao remained composed and nodded to them, then turned back to help his grandparents gather the scattered vegetables.
"My vegetables"
Grandpa and Grandma looked at the scattered vegetables with great sorrow.
Grandma, especially, hugged the vegetables and sobbed uncontrollably, "My vegetables, they're my granddaughter's life... Woe, woe, woe..."
"You heartless bastards, how could you do this?"
She cried bitterly, her heart broken and devastated.
Every time she thought about her granddaughter's illness and lack of money for treatment, her heart felt like it was being torn apart.
These vegetables represented all her hopes.
Now, apart from two baskets, the rest had been destroyed. She felt both desperate and heartbroken, crying out loud and tears streaming down her face.
Grandpa also sat on the ground, looking hopeless.
Both of them were genuine farmers, having worked the fields faithfully for a lifetime, without any connections or influence.
Their granddaughter had been admitted to the ICU due to illness, and they were both anxious and helpless, unable to do anything to help. They just wanted to earn a little money by selling vegetables to contribute their part.
Now, facing such misfortune, both elders were deeply devastated and crying uncontrollably.
Seeing Grandpa and Grandma like this, Xu Hao's eyes also became moist.
He wiped away his tears and went over to console them, saying, "Grandpa, Grandma, don't worry. My sister's condition has improved, and she'll be discharged soon."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Grandpa and Grandma immediately cheered up, looking at Xu Hao with immense joy.
"Absolutely true." Xu Hao nodded.
"That's great, really great. The Buddha blesses us, the Buddha blesses us."
Upon hearing this, Grandma immediately clasped her hands together, knelt on the ground, and bowed towards the sky.
Seeing Grandma like this, Xu Hao couldn't help but feel a little amused.
Older people often attribute miracles to divine blessings, especially with a strong sense of superstition.
Little did they know that he was the key figure in saving Xu Xiaoqing.
However, he didn't disturb Grandma.
It's not easy for people to have a little faith to support them throughout their lives.
After Grandma finished praying, Xu Hao wanted to take Grandpa and Grandma home.
"No, we must sell all these vegetables. Otherwise, they'll wilt if we go back." Grandpa said.
"Yes, yes, we must sell them all." Grandma agreed.
Xu Hao had no choice but to put away the food he had bought and said, "You two rest at the back, and I'll sell them."
He sorted out the vegetables, picked out the good ones, and put them in the baskets for display.
He was just about to throw away the bad vegetables, but Grandpa and Grandma quickly collected them, saying, "We can't throw them away. It's too wasteful. We'll eat them ourselves."
"They're rotten."
"We can still eat them."
Seeing how insistent Grandpa and Grandma were, Xu Hao had no choice but to comply with them.
Grandpa and Grandma had been diligent and thrifty for a lifetime, even reluctant to throw away leftover food. He couldn't change that.
Then, taking a deep breath, he shouted loudly, "Fresh vegetables, grown by ourselves, purely natural and unpolluted. Don't miss it!"
His voice was loud, echoing throughout the entire market.
However, no one dared to come and buy vegetables from him.
A stall owner nearby, unable to stand it anymore, walked over and whispered, "Young man, don't sell anymore. Take your grandparents and leave quickly."
"Why?"
"Xu Dabao you just beat up has some backing. He could come back and retaliate against you anytime."
"Oh, it's fine. If they want to retaliate, let them. I don't mind."
Seeing Xu Hao's indifferent expression, the stall owner frowned slightly, but eventually didn't persuade him any further and returned to his own stall.
Xu Hao continued to shout, "Selling vegetables, fresh vegetables"
Seeing Xu Hao like this, many stall owners in the market exchanged glances.
"Xu Hao has a big heart, doesn't he? After beating up Xu Dabao and his men, he still dares to sell vegetables here?"
"Skillful people have courage. This young man probably doesn't fear the forces behind Xu Dabao."
"Young people, they don't know the limits. With the likes of Xu Dabao, they must have endless tricks and will surely get him."
People were talking about it, looking at Xu Hao with confusion and sympathy.
Xu Hao ignored them and continued to shout loudly, selling vegetables.
After Xu Dabao and his men left, his vegetables sold extremely well, and soon a basket of vegetables was sold out, earning him eighty yuan.
Xu Hao felt a sense of regret.
These days, it's really tough for ordinary people.
After working hard to grow vegetables for a month, selling such a large basket only earned eighty yuan.
With such income, Xu Dabao actually demanded a thousand yuan, which was simply not treating vegetable farmers as human beings.
"Huh? Coach Xu, how come you're selling vegetables here?"
At this moment, a charming and curvaceous beauty walked over, looking at Xu Hao with utter surprise.
It was Flower Sister!
She was exceptionally beautiful and charming.
Dressed in traditional attire, a dress wrapped her tightly, but it still outlined her perfect S-shaped figure with a protruding chest and cocked buttocks.
Her beautiful eyes seemed to carry electricity.
Every frown and smile exuded a charming charm, full of charm.
Her arrival immediately became a beautiful sight, attracting the attention of all men.
"Hey, Flower Sister, long time no see. How come you're here too?"
Xu Hao looked at her, somewhat puzzled.
Flower Sister lived in a high-end villa area, how could she be buying vegetables in their small market?
However, he didn't think much of it and smiled warmly, saying, "My vegetables are all grown at home, absolutely fresh and unpolluted. Would you like to buy some?"
