Chapter 110: I Thought You Considered Me Your Father

Wei Feng finally woke up after three days, and the doctor heaved a sigh of relief, saying that his life was saved, but he would need a good period of rest to recover.

Wei Laosi wept with joy.

The money Wei Feng had earned as a bouncer in the gambling den was almost not enough to cover the medical expenses. Wiping away his tears, Wei Laosi said, "Son, you should go back to collecting skins. Don't work as a bouncer in that gambling den anymore... These few days, your Second Aunt and Third Aunt and I were almost driven to death..."

Lying in bed, pale-faced and hoarse, Wei Feng said, "...Where's Wang Sufen? When I went in to toast her, she covered my mouth and stabbed me..."

Mentioning this name, Wei Laosi felt very conflicted.

"...She stabbed herself in the stomach and set the house on fire." Wei Laosi was deeply distressed, his voice trembling, "If it weren't for your cousin Siyang dragging you out of the burning house, you would have been burned to ashes like her."

Wei Feng remained silent for a long time.

When he was stabbed in the abdomen and lying on the ground, still conscious, he heard Wang Sufen's anguished cries. Now, hearing about her fate from his father, Wei Feng couldn't describe how he felt.

Wei Laosi, hunched over as if he had aged ten years, repeatedly advised Wei Feng, "...Son, listen to your father. Don't do the gambling den's work anymore... It shortens your life..."

Wei Feng didn't respond, lost in thought.

Wei Feng's condition stabilized, but trouble arose at the Yujia Commercial Store.

It wasn't anything else; the Su family had finally found out the location of the Yujia Commercial Store and came knocking.

When Yu Sanbao heard this news, he didn't even raise an eyebrow.

Since they chose to open the shop in the county, they had anticipated such a day.

However, Yu Sanbao wasn't worried about any trouble.

From the first day he opened the shop, he had cultivated a good relationship with the county's constable, often going out for drinks together, just to prepare for such a day.

If the Su family conducted themselves properly, he could still grudgingly acknowledge this marital connection.

But if the Su family dared to cause more trouble, he wouldn't hesitate to be ruthless.

So when the Su family arrived, Yu Sanbao calmly finished serving the last customer in the store, smiling as he saw them off, before turning to look at Qian Shi and Su Chengzong, who were greedily examining everything in the store.

Su Chengzong's saliva was almost dripping onto the merchandise!

Yu Sanbao's brow finally furrowed.

Qian Shi smiled sweetly, calling him brother-in-law affectionately.

"Brother-in-law, you've really made it," Su Chengzong straightened up, his eyes filled with greed, "Such a big shop, how much did it cost?"

Yu Sanbao smiled faintly, "Not much."

"Brother-in-law, that's a bit disappointing," Su Chengzong chuckled, stepping forward to pat Yu Sanbao's shoulder, "Back when I needed money, your family kept saying you had none... tsk..."

Yu Sanbao moved his shoulder, dodging Su Chengzong's hand.

Su Chengzong missed, looking embarrassed.

Qian Shi noticed Yu Sanbao's attitude and, with a quick glance, deliberately looked toward the door leading to the backyard, "Oh, that little girl isn't here?"

Yu Sanbao didn't like Qian Shi's mocking tone when mentioning Xingxing, and his face darkened, "What does it matter to you whether Xingxing is here or not?"

Seeing Yu Sanbao's reaction, Qian Shi became even more convinced of her suspicion—that the little girl was definitely Yu Sanbao's illegitimate child!

Qian Shi and Su Chengzong exchanged a glance, their eyes full of calculation.

"Cough, it's like this, Brother-in-law, I'm your brother-in-law, and right now, I owe the gambling den a lot of money," Su Chengzong stated matter-of-factly, "As my brother-in-law, you can't refuse to help, right?"

Qian Shi added, "It's not much, just fifty taels of silver first."

Yu Sanbao laughed coldly without hesitation.

What nerve, coming directly to ask for money!

And demanding fifty taels of silver right away!

Yu Sanbao was concise, "No money!"

Qian Shi threatened, "No money? ... Brother-in-law, you run such a big shop, and you tell us you have no money? ... Brother-in-law, we're all family, we should get along well. It doesn't matter if you say you have no money now, but if we go to Rou'er and chat with her about things you want to keep secret, that won't be good... Think about it, Brother-in-law!"

Yu Sanbao understood the threat in Qian Shi's words, but he found it amusing that she thought she had some leverage to use against him.

"What are you talking about?" Yu Sanbao pulled at the corner of his mouth, his eyes cold, "If there's nothing else, leave quickly. Don't block my business."

Business had been unusually good these past two days with Xingxing in the store.

Today, with Wei Feng's condition stabilizing and Wei Pozi taking Xingxing back to Nantuo Village, the number of customers was slightly less than the previous two days, giving him a chance to rest.

He didn't want to waste this rare break on this greedy couple!

Seeing Yu Sanbao's attitude, Qian Shi was furious, thinking that Yu Sanbao wouldn't change until he saw the coffin. She stepped forward, threatening, "...Are you really not afraid that I'll tell Rou'er the little girl's true identity?"

Yu Sanbao was taken aback for a moment, then realized what Qian Shi meant.

She thought that the little girl's true identity had something to do with him, and was using it as leverage to threaten him?

...There were too many flaws in this logic, leaving Yu Sanbao momentarily unsure of how to react.

It was simply too ridiculous!

"Get out, get out now!" Yu Sanbao had no patience to play nice with the Su family and roughly pushed the couple out of his shop.

How could Su Chengzong let this go? He shouted, "You dare to push me, your brother-in-law?!"

Yu Sanbao sneered, "So you know you're my brother-in-law?! Seeing how you opened your mouth for fifty taels, I thought you took me for your father! Otherwise, how could you have the nerve to ask for it?!"

Su Chengzong's face turned red with anger as he lunged at Yu Sanbao.

Yu Sanbao immediately yelled, "Constable! Constable! There's trouble here!"

The patrolling constables arrived quickly.

Yu Sanbao was quick to file his complaint: "Constables, they caused a disturbance in my shop, disrupting my business."

Yu Sanbao had a good relationship with the head constable, so the officers were well aware of the instructions to look after Yu Sanbao.

The constables immediately brandished their iron chains at Su Chengzong and Qian Shi, demanding, "Are you the ones who deliberately disrupted someone's business?!"
