The two of them were very close, and the two of them were very close.

…

Before lunch, Shen Tong carried Eric back home and told his parents what happened.

When A Zeya saw Eric's miserable appearance, she immediately hugged him in her arms with heartache.

"Good boy, I'm sorry, it's all my fault that my mother didn't find out earlier." A Zeya stroked Eric's head and comforted him.

"These damn little bastards, I'm going to beat up their father someday!"

Jeff angrily pounded the table with his fist, and the anger in his eyes was about to burst out.

After all, the one who was beaten was his own son, and the father would definitely not tolerate it.

Shen Tong looked at him with envy, and sighed that his younger brother was worthy of being the favorite of his parents.

"Oh, by the way, mom, this time it's all thanks to Brother Shentong."

"If it wasn't for Brother's timely arrival, I'm afraid I would be bullied again." Eric said excitedly while hiding in Azeya's arms.

"Really?" After hearing this, Azeya and Jeff all looked at Shentong in surprise.

"Brother is really amazing. He took care of Simon and the others by himself."

"I didn't even see his movements clearly!"

Eric's excited propaganda with his hands and feet made Shentong feel a headache.

"Ahem..."

"Okay, Eric, don't make me sound so awesome. It's just a normal fight." Shentong took the initiative to come out and interrupt the topic.

He didn't want Eric to reveal too much, so as not to arouse his mother's suspicion.

Jeff stood up, walked to Shentong, put his hand on his shoulder, and smiled with relief: "Shentong, you did a good job."

"I used to doubt you, but now you have proved yourself with your actions. It is brave for a brother to stand up."

"To be honest, it is amazing!"

After being praised in person, Shentong was embarrassed. This was the first time his stepfather praised him since he grew up.

"No, I just did my duty as a brother. I hope I won't cause trouble for my family." Shentong replied modestly.

"Hehe..." Jeff smiled faintly when he heard it: "Don't worry, there will be no trouble."

"But... I hurt them. What if their parents come to claim compensation?"

"Okay, kid, don't worry about it. If something really happens, I will help you." Jeff patted his chest and promised solemnly.

"Jeff! Get out of here!"

Just as Jeff finished this sentence, an angry shout came from outside the house.

I saw a group of people coming outside the yard, ferocious and aggressive, walking here in a group. The men in the front were holding shotguns, their eyes full of anger, as if they were going to rush into the house and kill people immediately.

Shentong frowned when he saw this group of people, and he immediately guessed that they were probably coming for him.

"Jeff, get out!"

After the group came to the gate of the yard, they stood there and cursed loudly.

Jeff frowned and walked out of the hut to check, and found that the people who came were the parents of Simon and others.

"Jeff, where is that little bastard?"

One of them asked coldly after seeing Jeff.

"Everyone, what do you want to do?"

"What? Go ask your mixed-blood stepson what he did?"

A man shouted angrily, he was Thomas's parents.

Jeff was calm and said calmly: "It's just a fight between children. There's no need to make such a big noise, and bring a gun to the door?"

"Really? It's that simple?" The man sneered after hearing it, "Jeff, your family is really good, raising such a child."

"Sorry, I don't understand what you said."

"Haha, you still want to pretend to be confused at this point, and you have to make it clear for me, right?"

"Your Shentong injured my child, why do you think I came to your house?"

The man sneered at Jeff.

"Oh?"

Jeff raised his eyebrows when he heard it, because Shentong told him in advance that someone was injured, so he didn't show too much surprise on his face.

After a pause, Jeff calmly replied: "I'm so sorry. When children play together, it's inevitable that they will get hurt."

"But if you want me to apologize, forget it."

"Originally, your child teamed up to bully my Eric, and then he lost the fight. How dare you, as a parent, come to his house to ask for punishment?"

"I advise you to stop. If you don't listen to my advice and insist on doing it, don't blame me as a fellow villager for being ruthless."

Jeff looked at the parents who were asking for punishment in front of him, and said firmly.

Shortly after he finished speaking,

, a middle-aged man walked out of the crowd opposite.

This man was very burly, about 1.9 meters tall, wearing a khaki jacket, with burgundy curly hair, thick stubble on his chin, holding a shotgun, and his mature face revealed fortitude and gloom.

Jeff looked solemn after seeing this man, because he was Simon's father, Comps.

Comps was the captain of the village guard. He had been an imperial soldier. He was arrogant and had a status second only to the village chief.

Both Kang Jins and Jeff were married late at an older age. They only had one child, so they were usually very precious and could not bear to scold or beat him. It was this excessive pampering that raised the arrogant child king, Simon.

When Comps learned that his son's leg was broken, his blood pressure soared. He picked up a shotgun and ran with a group of parents to ask for punishment.

"Jeff, listen to me."

"I don't want to cause you trouble, but it's all because your Shen Tong is too much." Comps stared at Jeff and made a hoarse voice.

"Comps, please make your words clear." Jeff frowned at him.

Comps looked at the people behind him, and then a group of adults brought a few stretchers, on which Simon and several children were lying.

All the children looked aggrieved, with bandages wrapped around their legs.

Among them, Simon was the most seriously injured. He was almost wrapped in bandages all over his body, lying there like a white human meat dumpling.

"Father, please judge him..."

"Shen Tong is a demon. Not only did he break all our legs, he also poured honey on me, woo woo..." Simon lay there crying and complaining.

Shen Tong in the room turned black after hearing this. This bastard actually complained first.

"Damn! I should have killed you guys earlier."

Shen Tong stared at Simon on the stretcher and shook his head in regret. If Eric hadn't been there at the time, would these little bastards still want to live?

Comps stood there listening to his son's complaint, and his expression became increasingly gloomy.

"Jeff, look for yourself, Shen Tong broke the legs of the other children." He pointed at the stretcher and shouted angrily.

"This...?!"

Jeff was stunned for a moment, and his brain short-circuited for a while.

He thought that children fighting would be like that, at most suffering some skin injuries or something, but he didn't expect that even their legs would be broken.

Azeya in the room was also shocked, standing in front of the window in a daze.

"Brother... Will he be okay?"

After watching for a while, Eric looked at Shen Tong not far away with concern.

"It's okay, don't worry about me." Shen Tong smiled gently at his brother, but he still sighed softly in his heart. Sure enough, breaking a leg is not a trivial matter.

But he was not afraid. If the parents of these children insisted on causing trouble, he didn't mind giving them a beating.

"Your Shen Tong is really cruel. He can do such cruel things at such a young age."

"Jeff, if you don't give me an explanation today, I will bring people to burn your house!" Kang Puqi held the shotgun tightly and threatened coldly.

"Wait... is there a mistake?"

"Shen Tong, that child, can't do such a thing. He has always been a gentle child!"

After Jeff recovered from his shock, he tried to defend Shen Tong.

"Shut up! You are still making excuses for that little devil!"

"I said at the beginning that having foreign blood in the village is an unstable factor. What's the matter? I was right, right?"

"Yes, it must be related to his bloodline to be able to do such a cruel thing. Otherwise, how can a normal child be so evil?"

"It turns out that people with different looks must have different hearts."

"This little bastard must be severely punished!"

"Yes! Expel him!"

"Try him by burning at the stake!"

All the parents shouted in indignation.

Jeff didn't dare to look up. Facing the solid evidence of Comps and others, he was originally quite confident, but now he felt weak inside.

After all, breaking someone's leg is indeed wrong.

After thinking calmly for a while, Jeff could only retreat in the end.

"Okay, Comps, you tell me what to do."

"If you need compensation, I'll pay you."

Not wanting to make matters worse, Jeff gave in and offered to solve the problem with compensation.

However, Comps smiled coldly after hearing this.

"Jeff, do you think I'm short of that little money?"

"Listen to me, that guy must pay for this personally."

"Since he broke my son's leg and tortured Simon like this, I must break his leg today!"

Comps made a vicious offer.

Jeff was stunned when he heard this, his mind was blank, he didn't expect this group of people to want to break Shentong's leg.

Ah in the room

After hearing the request, Zeya was so excited that she almost fainted. Fortunately, Shentong next to her found her and quickly supported her.

"Shentong, did you really do this?" Azeya asked her son in disbelief.

Shentong was silent for a long time, then nodded, "Mother, I didn't mean it. They wanted to hurt me and my brother, so they did it."

Azeya slowly closed her eyes, and she didn't know what to say.

"Little bastard, get out, or I'll burn your house!"

Outside the yard.

Comps continued to curse: "Jeff, I'll give you a minute to think about it. If you don't hand him over, we'll go in and find him ourselves."

"Then... just wait to collect the body of this little bastard!"

Jeff immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and said in a panic: "Wait, we can discuss it, there's no need to make such a fuss!"

However, the other party didn't listen to him at all, and had loaded the shotgun in his hand.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Shen Tong didn't want to continue to implicate his parents, so he straightened his collar and prepared to go out and solve the problem himself.

"Stop it!"

Just as the parents were about to rush into the house, an old and majestic voice interrupted them.

On the rural dirt road not far away, two people appeared at some point.

"Ah, it's the village chief!"
