"I have always been picking up trash here, when did this place become your territory?" An old voice indignantly retorted.
"F * ck, you still dare to talk nonsense, are you looking for a beating!" A muffled 'peng' sound rang out as someone fell to the ground.
Tang Zheng's heart tightened as his anger surged. That old voice could not be more familiar, it was his grandfather Tang Dahai's voice.
Three steps in two, he had already arrived at the scene and found his grandfather on the ground being stepped on by a large man.
"Let go of my grandfather." Tang Zheng angrily roared.
"Where did this stinking brat come from? Quickly scram! "The large man cast a sidelong glance at Tang Zheng, not putting him in his eyes.
"Little Zheng, why are you here? Quickly leave. "The old man gasped for breath as he weakly shouted.
"Grandfather, let me help you." Tang Zheng's feet tapped as he quickly arrived in front of the large man.
The large man was slightly stunned as he did not expect Tang Zheng's speed to be so fast. But seeing that a mere student dared to challenge his dignity, he was unable to restrain his anger as he roared: "Little brat, if you are looking for a beating then this old man will fulfill your wish."
Hu!
A fist punched out but the fist struck empty air. The large man did not even have time to react before his stomach took a punch, causing him to feel as if his heart was being overturned.
"You, you …!" The large man was just about to curse out loud when he saw a large fist heading straight for his face. He cried out in pain as blood flew out from his nose and he fell backwards.
"Grandfather, are you alright?" Tang Zheng hurriedly helped the old man up and asked with concern.
The old man gasped for breath as he weakly said: "I am fine, Little Zheng, quickly leave. This person is vicious and is not a good person. You should not provoke him."
"Grandfather, with me here, no one can bully you." Tang Zheng decisively said.
"Ai, you must study hard and not fight for an old man like me. If the teacher finds out, you will definitely be criticized." The old man anxiously said.
Tang Zheng felt a headache as his grandfather always placed him first. This made him even more angry at the large man.
"Grandpa, you rest for a while. I'll deal with this person first." Tang Zheng turned around and stared coldly at the big man.
The burly man had already crawled up and was unable to restrain his anger. "Stinking brat, you're simply courting death. Since that's the case, I'll let you know how powerful I am."
Whoosh!
The burly man pulled out a dagger that glittered with cold light, revealing a ferocious look.
The old man jumped in fright and hurriedly shouted: "Little Zheng, quickly leave, I will stop him."
"Grandpa, he can't hurt me." Tang Zheng comforted, then stared fiercely at the big man, "Why do you want to hurt my grandfather?"
"F * ck, this is Brother Hu's territory, you have to ask for Brother Hu's permission before you can make a living here. You dare to challenge Brother Hu's dignity, not killing you is already merciful." The big man aggressively roared.
"Brother Hu?" Tang Zheng was a good student and had never heard of Brother Hu's name.
The big man's name was Dong Zi and was one of Brother Hu's henchmen. He was sent here to watch over the territory and the scavengers had to hand over the good things they picked up to him.
Brother Hu was a big hoodlum in the northern part of the city. His real name was Lin Hu and he had gathered a group of henchmen. In the Ordinary Balance City Jianghu, he was one of the most famous people.
Originally he looked down on the garbage dump, but a few days ago someone dug out an antique from the garbage dump and sold it for over a million.
Lin Hu began to pay attention to this territory and sent one of his henchmen to watch over the place. The scavengers had to hand over the items they picked up to be appraised and the valuable items would be taken away.
Tang Zheng's grandfather had been sick all this time so he did not know about this new rule. Today he dragged his sick body to pick up trash, which led to this series of conflicts.
"What, are you scared? Let me tell you, it's too late." Dong Zi proudly said. He thought that Brother Hu's name had scared Tang Zheng.
"I don't care what Brother Hu or Brother Niu you are. If you dare to hurt my grandfather, I will not let you have a good time." Tang Zheng was already a cultivator so how could he be afraid of a few hoodlums.
Dong Zi was surprised. This brat had eaten a leopard's guts. Even Brother Hu's name was not able to scare him.
"Humph, brat, you dare to say that. You're dead. Go to hell!" Dong Zi rushed over and stabbed his dagger straight at Tang Zheng's chest.
Tang Zheng moved sideways and grabbed the opponent's wrist. Kacha, the bone broke and the big man screamed. Large beads of sweat came out.
Bang!
Tang Zheng kicked Dong Zi's knees. Dong Zi's knees went soft and he directly knelt on the ground.
"If you dare to come here again, I will also break your legs." Tang Zheng said in a stern voice. "Get lost!"
Dong Zi was angry but did not dare to say anything. His heart was filled with pain and he said: "Brat, do you know the consequences of offending Brother Hu?"
"F * ck, you still dare to be noisy!" Tang Zheng coldly snorted. Kacha, Dong Zi's other arm was twisted like a fried dough twist.
"Ah, it hurts so much. Let me go. I will not dare to do it again." Dong Zi did not expect Tang Zheng to be so decisive and he begged for mercy.
The old man looked at Tang Zheng as if he was looking at a stranger. He panicked and said: "Little Zheng, quickly let him go. He is going to die."
Tang Zheng loosened his grip and Dong 'zi ran away like a stray dog, not daring to say a single word of arrogance.
"Oh no, this time we are in big trouble. This kind of person should be avoided. How can we provoke him." The old man said with a bitter face and sighed.
"Grandfather, if they dare to come, I will beat them." Tang Zheng comforted.
"Little Zheng, they have a lot of people. They are not good people. How can you be their opponent? Moreover, you are a student. How can you fight? "
"Grandfather, I know martial arts. They are not my opponent."
"Nonsense, what kind of martial arts do you know?" The old man said with a straight face, "The most important thing for a person is to know their own limits. Do not be arrogant."
Tang Zheng was helpless. In his grandfather's heart, he was always a good student. Fighting was something he absolutely could not do.
"Ai, forget it. The next time they come, you hide. This old man will let them beat you up. When they calm down, everything will be fine." The old man said to himself.
Tang Zheng's nose turned sour. He clenched his fists and secretly swore that if they really dared to come, he would break their dog legs.
When the grandfather and grandson returned home, Tang Zheng began to cook. These past few years, the grandfather and grandson depended on each other for survival. He had trained his cooking skills. With a few simple ingredients, he could make a unique and delicious meal.
"Little Tang Zheng, your body is still growing. You must eat more meat." The old man said as he placed the shredded meat into Tang Zheng's bowl.
"I am eating. Grandfather, you also need to eat. You have lost weight these past few days."
"Hehe, I am already satisfied that my old bones have been able to live until now. Moreover, I have Little Zheng with me. The heavens have treated me well." The old man's face was filled with a happy and satisfied smile.
The two of them were not related by blood. Tang Zheng was picked up by the old man from the garbage. He was an abandoned child.
The old man was kind hearted and adopted him. He named him Tang Zheng. For more than ten years, they depended on each other. He did his best to give Tang Zheng what he needed. Fortunately, Tang Zheng was smart and had excellent grades. He was the old man's greatest comfort.
"Little Zheng, if grandfather is no longer here, you must take good care of yourself. Do you understand?" The old man sighed and said sincerely.
Tang Zheng was shocked. His chopsticks fell under the table. He stared at his grandfather, "Grandfather, don't think too much. You will be fine. Tomorrow we will go to the hospital to treat your illness."
The old man grinned, revealing deep wrinkles, and said: "I am not thinking too much. My body is fine. It is just an old illness. I went to the hospital a few days ago and the doctor said that I will be fine after resting for a while. "
Tang Zheng knew that his grandfather's body was not good. It was said that when he was young, his internal organs were damaged and left behind an illness. However, the doctor did not know what exactly was wrong with him.
A while ago, his old illness relapsed and he went to the hospital. The doctor prescribed some medicine and it seemed that he was getting better these few days.
"Little Zheng, you will soon be eighteen years old. When that time comes, you will be an adult. Grandfather knows that you have been sensible since you were young. Grandfather cannot give you anything. In the future, you will have to rely on yourself."
Tang Zheng had a bad premonition. His grandfather's words were like his last words. His illness was definitely not as simple as he thought.
Tang Zheng was about to ask when a voice sounded from outside the house: "Does Tang Zheng live here?"
"Old witch!" Tang Zheng immediately recognized the voice.
"Little Zheng, someone is looking for you." The old man said.
"Grandfather, you eat first. I will go out for a while."
"Is it your friend?"
"She is our class teacher."
"So it is the teacher. Then I will go see her. Little Zheng, your grades in school are so good because of the teacher's guidance and help. Grandfather has never thanked the teacher in person." The old man was full of spirit as he excitedly walked out.
Tang Zheng wanted to stop him but it was too late. In his heart, he muttered, "What is the old witch doing here?"
He has been in high school for almost three years and the old witch has never visited his home. However, he has heard that she often visits Qiao Fei and Fang Shishi's home.
"Teacher, hello. Please come in." The old man bent his body and kindly invited.
Wu Cuihong wrinkled her eyebrows as she looked at the old man with a face full of wrinkles, white hair, and shabby clothes. She coldly said: "You are Tang Zheng's grandfather?"
"Yes, I am. Many thanks to teacher for taking care of Little Zheng in school and waiving his school fees. This is a great gift to our family." The old man said with tears of gratitude.
Tang Zheng walked out and saw his grandfather being careful and Wu Cuihong being arrogant. His heart was filled with anger as he asked: "Teacher Wu, may I ask what business you have with me?"
"Tang Zheng, I am here to inform you of a few things."
"Teacher, if you have something to say, then let's talk inside." The old man continued to invite.
Wu Cuihong glanced at the low building and curled her lips. She could not hide her disdain as she said: "I will stand here and say this. Tang Zheng, tomorrow you do not need to go to class one. From now on you will go to class seven."
"What?" Tang Zheng was gobsmacked, Class One was the best class in the school, while Class Seven was the "trash class" at the bottom, known as the "hell class". Inside the class were hedonistic sons of rich parents who only knew how to eat, drink, and play. The difference between the two classes was like heaven and earth.
