Chapter 17: A Loyal Little Brother as Big as a Mountain

Xie Fangzhu’s gaze fell on the pale fat face, his eyes narrowed, and he raised an eyebrow, gesturing for the fat man to look at his companion, who was still kneeling in front of Shen Yingying, the stocky man with a panicked face.

“You’re the other one, right?”

His voice was still calm, but in the fat man’s ears, it was more terrifying than the roar of a devil in hell.

The fat man regretted it so much that his intestines turned green, blaming himself for his loose mouth, daring to say bad things about his wife in front of Xie Fangzhu, which was completely like shouting for help while hugging a tiger, courting death!

His face was as white as paper, and he hurriedly begged for mercy, “Brother Xie, Brother Xie, I was wrong, I misspoke, please forgive me!”

Xie Fangzhu snorted coldly, “Why didn’t you know that when you were speaking?”

After speaking, he threw a clean punch, hitting the fat man hard in the stomach, causing the fat man’s expression to crack.

The fat man had no courage left, fearing that Xie Fangzhu would step on his face like he did to his companion.

He knew that to get Xie Fangzhu to let him go, Shen Yingying had to speak up.

So, ignoring the cold sweat from his stomach pain, he struggled to straighten up and slid to his knees in front of Shen Yingying.

“Sister-in-law… I’m so sorry! I was talking nonsense just now, please forgive me and tell Brother Xie to let me go! I’ll never dare again! If I talk nonsense again, I’ll cut off my stinky mouth!”

After speaking, he slapped himself on the face, left and right, hitting and crying for mercy:

Shen Yingying: “…”

His performance was even more exaggerated than the stocky man just now, and he didn’t hold back at all. In just a few slaps, clear fingerprints appeared on his fat face.

Seeing his tearful appearance, Shen Yingying clicked her tongue, feeling satisfied enough. Just as she was about to speak to Xie Fangzhu,

Suddenly, a thunderous, rough voice rang in her ears, “Damn, it really is my brother!”

She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old peeking out from the crowd, his square face full of surprise.

He rudely pushed through the crowd and walked out.

As soon as he came out, his huge physique was fully visible.

He was a bit shorter than Xie Fangzhu. Xie Fangzhu had the kind of perfect physique where he looked muscular when undressed and slim when dressed, with rock-hard muscles, and was definitely not a weak, skinny man.

But in front of this big guy, the tall and large Xie Fangzhu seemed a bit slender.

The big guy in front of her had twice the horizontal area of Xie Fangzhu, and this doubled size wasn’t fat, but muscle.

The bulging muscles were even more exaggerated than the muscles of bodybuilding champions in her era.

Standing there, he looked like a small mountain.

The original owner’s memory didn’t have much impression of this person, she didn’t even know his name, she only knew that this person always followed Xie Fangzhu.

But Shen Yingying, who had read the novel, combined with the author’s description in the book, immediately recognized this big guy as Xie Fangzhu’s trusted little brother, Han Wei.

Han Wei and Xie Fangzhu met through fighting. At this time, Han Wei had not been in the mining area for long, and before coming to the mining area, he was a hoodlum.

After coming to the mining area, he heard about Xie Fangzhu and Shen Yingying’s stories, and felt that Xie Fangzhu was being played by a woman like that, which was a disgrace to men.

So he stopped Xie Fangzhu, intending to teach this softie, who had lost all face for men, a good lesson for the majority of male compatriots.

In the end, he didn’t teach Xie Fangzhu a lesson, but instead was beaten up by Xie Fangzhu.

Thinking of him, Han Wei, from childhood to adulthood, relying on his physical advantage, he was invincible in fighting, except when his mother played the emotional card to beat him.

No one had ever made him suffer, let alone beat him black and blue.

Xie Fangzhu was the first!

From then on, Han Wei admired Xie Fangzhu to the ground, becoming Xie Fangzhu’s little brother like chewing gum.

Han Wei’s principle was: it’s okay to say he, Han Wei, is a softie, but if anyone dares to say Xie Fangzhu is a softie, he will definitely beat the other person until they don’t recognize their mother.

Also, because of his awe-inspiring large physique and extreme loyalty, although he wasn’t very bright, Xie Fangzhu still kept him by his side as a confidant.

Han Wei’s eyes fell on the fat man kneeling in front of Shen Yingying and slapping himself, and he was so angry that he thumped his chest and stamped his feet, “Damn, I’m late!”

He had just arrived at the cafeteria when he heard people say that his brother Xie Fangzhu had started fighting, which excited him very much.

He hadn’t fought with anyone for a long time, his hands were itchy, and today he finally had a chance, let him see who was so blind to dare to provoke his brother, he had to beat that person until they didn’t recognize their mother!

But he didn’t expect Xie Fangzhu to act so decisively. As soon as he arrived, the person was already taken care of.

Han Wei looked at Xie Fangzhu, his eyes inexplicably resentful, “Brother, why don’t you call me when you fight!”

Xie Fangzhu ignored him, glanced at the two still kneeling obediently in front of Shen Yingying, scoffed, and scanned the crowd with a sharp gaze, raising his voice slightly, and said:

“In the future, please take care of your own business, don’t meddle in other people’s business, and no one needs to interfere in my family’s affairs!”

His face was covered with gloom, and his voice was as cold as frost, completely without his usual amiability, “Shen Yingying is my person, no one has the right to talk about her! If anyone dares to be ignorant again, it won’t be solved with one or two punches today. Don’t say I, Xie Fangzhu, don’t care about neighborly feelings!”

Everyone in the cafeteria didn’t dare to breathe, afraid of alarming the angry man.

Most of them had seen Xie Fangzhu deal with the bullies from the neighboring village.

They understood that although Xie Fangzhu was amiable and helpful in the mine, he would never be kind to those who offended him.

Han Wei behind Xie Fangzhu became excited. He hadn’t seen his brother angry for a long time, and he was as handsome as before!

He had heard about Shen Yingying’s character and knew she wasn’t a good woman. He didn’t like her very much and felt that this woman didn’t deserve his brother.

But as long as his brother wanted to protect her, he had to protect her in front of outsiders.

Thinking of this, Han Wei glared at everyone with a fierce look and said in a harsh voice:

“Everyone has heard what my brother said today! Take care of your own business, don’t meddle in other people’s business! If you’re really bored and can’t hold back, go to the mine to pick manure and contribute to the mining area! Don’t open your mouth and yap about my sister-in-law all the time!”

“If I hear about it again, not only will my brother not let him go, but I’ll make him suffer!”

As he spoke, he snorted twice, swung his arms, fully showing everyone his exaggerated biceps, “I mean what I say! If anyone disagrees, feel free to try!”

One Xie Fangzhu could make people shed a layer of skin, let alone adding a big guy, who would dare to disagree?

The crowded cafeteria became quieter, making the fat man’s self-slapping sound particularly crisp.

Seeing that no one dared to say a word, Xie Fangzhu then calmed down and walked towards Shen Yingying.

He walked up to her as if nothing had happened, glanced at the fat man who was still slapping himself, and asked, “Do you want me to continue?”
