Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

Chapter 585: Small Talk (Part 2)



Chen Haiyang was stunned, "Huh? What did you say, my phone?"

Chen Qian answered, "Yes, Mr. Chen, you heard right, that's your phone."

Chen Haiyang quickly rummaged through the wreckage and managed to vaguely identify that it was indeed his phone.

Gao Heshuai was also taken aback.

'Damn, I smashed the wrong one!' he cursed inwardly.

Then he looked up at the students holding back their laughter, feeling extremely embarrassed and somewhat enraged, he angrily questioned, "You clearly knew this was Mr. Chen's phone, why didn't you tell me?"

Cui Yu: "I, I, I, I stuttered just now and had no time to warn!"

Dong Qingfeng: "My tonsils are inflamed."

Yu Wen: "I have a stomachache."

Everyone had their own excuses, turning the entire class into a large-scale self-defense meeting.

...

A week later.

Evening, 7 PM.

Huijin Real Estate is a modern urban lifestyle complex integrating culture, landscape, leisure, commerce, ecology, and entertainment.

Huijin District is the flagship community of Huijin Real Estate, located in a bustling urban area, with three lakes inside the community, covering a water area of 220 acres, acclaimed as a 3A-level scenic spot.

Recently, the residents within the community have been suffering greatly.

The fountain plaza at the center of the community, which was once the place of pride for all residents, used to host cool fountain shows every weekend with countless spectators.

But now, the fountain plaza has become the happy homeland for the elderly ladies.

Accompanied by explosive cool beats, nearly a hundred elderly ladies twist their bodies and sway with delight to the music rhythm.

In front of the dance group, a massive speaker vibrates, its sound penetrating through all the buildings within the community, invading every resident's eardrums.

"Damn, these elderly ladies are really despicable!" Chai Wei glared fiercely.

Yan Tianpeng chuckled, "That's why we have the opportunity to make money!"

These elderly ladies dance square dance at the fountain plaza every day, with the music playing excessively loud, dancing at night barely acceptable, but the issue is they also have a session in the morning.

Every morning at five thirty, they start dancing on time, severely affecting the community residents' sleep quality and mental health, causing widespread resentment.

Conflicts broke out several times, the property management was helpless, who dares to provoke a group of elderly ladies? If they lie down on the ground, who dares to touch them?

Even higher-ups who came to mediate were ineffective, the elderly ladies pack up and retreat when officials arrive, only to make a comeback and continue their fun after officials leave.

The residents in the community can only swallow their anger.

After all, ordinary people have no way to solve such matters, dealing with over a hundred elderly ladies is impossible.

But Huijin District is a high-mid-end community, with many affluent residents, a while ago, a boss was awakened by square dancing in the morning, argued with the elderly ladies and got a face full of saliva in return.

The boss was infuriated, spent money to find a way to deal with these elderly ladies, happened to be known by Yan Tianpeng who took on this paid task.

Yan Tianpeng shouted, "Brothers, it's our turn to take the stage!"

With that, he pushed a small cart loaded with gongs, suonas, and cymbals tied with red ropes.

Yan Tianpeng was indeed invincible in physical strength, easily capable of defeating ten elderly ladies alone, but in today's society, civility is emphasized, violence is not an option for him.

Thus, he chose a wicked method, while the elderly ladies played music loudly and danced square dance, he started banging the drums and clanging the gongs on the side, both sides engaging in airborne confrontation.

The effect was remarkable, the boss was delighted and even gave Yan Tianpeng an extra reward of two hundred yuan.

With Yan Tianpeng's beckoning, several people behind him followed suit.

Behind him were not only Chai Wei and Zhang Chi, but also Shen Xu.

Ever since being betrayed, Shen Xu understood the meaning of life, he lowered his pride and joined Yan Tianpeng's money-making crew, diligently saving capital for a comeback.

Huang Yuzhu came too, to change his impoverished family and alleviate his parents' burdens.

Miao Zhe also arrived, to transform himself into a better person and meet Yun Ni face-to-face.

Chai Wei aimed to save enough thirty thousand yuan to escape the Four Golden Flowers.

And then there was Wu Xiaoqi, not for money, but purely to hone his basketball dance moves.

Once the elderly ladies saw the group of thugs led by Yan Tianpeng, they immediately swarmed over, glaring and yelling, "Pieces of garbage without mothers!"

"Deserve to rot in Hell!"

"Bastards!"

The elderly ladies cursed viciously and even tried to spit.

At this moment, Zhang Chi rushed to the front, flashed his ID, and said with extreme confidence:

"A bunch of old geezers, watch closely, I'm underage, push me too hard and I'll take you down!"

"Even if I take you down, I won't break the law!"

After the verbal spat, Zhang Chi and Huang Yuzhu played the drums, Miao Zhe took charge of the turntable, Shen Xu blew the suona horn, while Wu Xiaoqi danced on the drum, with Chai Wei lighting him up to magically distract the locals.

Ancient instruments against modern sound systems, an epic battle erupted!

The entire district was thrown into chaos.

...

Unlike the chaos in the urban area, the night at the river dam was like a serene painting, with gentle evening breezes blowing, the river glimmering with silvery waves, flowing slowly.

A few hundred meters away, a row of bungalows.

"Jiang Ning, the pond is ready, come fish tomorrow." Leaving these words, Boss Yang departed, satisfied.

On the small round table in the room, grilled skewers in a metal plate emitted an enticing aroma, Xue Yuantong took a big bite, the meat from the freshly slaughtered lamb was especially tender, with the charcoal aroma and spices making her close her eyes gently.

"Delicious, delicious!"

"Here, you try some." Xue Yuantong handed the skewers over.

Jiang Ning took a piece of meat, as Xue Yuantong took it back to continue eating.

"Are you going fishing tomorrow?" she asked.

"Sure, nothing else to do anyway."

"Then I'll go too."

While chatting and watching a movie, they quickly finished a plate of skewers, Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning tacitly did not call Chuchu to share.

After eating, Xue Yuantong wiped her mouth.

Aunt Gu walked to the door.

Seeing her mother, Xue Yuantong immediately cried out, "Mom, I want an ice pop."

Aunt Gu glanced at her, "You look like an ice pop yourself."

Xue Yuantong immediately pouted.

"Eat, eat, eat, that's all you know every day!" Aunt Gu scolded her daughter a bit, glared at the grease gleaming on her lips, sighed, and left her with:

"I saw the weather forecast, it's gonna be nice tomorrow, wash the sheet and quilt cover and hang them out to dry."

After saying this, Aunt Gu turned and left.

Xue Yuantong's little face fell, "Jiang Ning, don't you think my mom is like an NPC in a game, always assigning me tasks whenever I get close to her."

Jiang Ning agreed, "Indeed. But the tasks she gives you, you have to complete."

Xue Yuantong wanted to argue, to demonstrate her uniqueness, but hesitated and held back.

She glanced at Jiang Ning, "Do you think my mom is the real head of the household?"

Jiang Ning: "Isn't she?"

Xue Yuantong gave a mysterious smile, showing a bit of cunning, "You'll see who's boss tomorrow."

"Oh? I'll wait and see." Jiang Ning replied.

Seeing Jiang Ning's doubtful expression, Xue Yuantong didn't mind; tomorrow, she'd show her mom her capabilities!

With that thought, Xue Yuantong snuggled closer to Jiang Ning, her petite, soft body pressed against Jiang Ning's, as if seeking a sense of security.

"Jiang Ning, the rural tourism next door is quite famous, Si Yu mentioned it today."

"Yeah, Boss Yang did a good job, not just with barbecue, but also created a strawberry garden, and now set up a fishing pond." Jiang Ning noted.

"Dong Qingfeng and the others said they're planning to bring people over for dinner too." Xue Yuantong said.

Indeed, it was mentioned initially by Meng Zi Yun, with Cao Kun overhearing, and then Dong Qingfeng extending the invitation, which turned Cao Kun's face green.

Recalling that scene amused Jiang Ning; if they came for rural tourism, it'd be even more interesting.

Xue Yuantong whispered, "I think Uncle Yang's dishes are quite pricey!"

After speaking, she felt a bit embarrassed, having just eaten the barbecue delivered by Uncle Yang.

Xue Yuantong buried her little head into Jiang Ning's shoulder to avoid the awkwardness.

Her hair brushed Jiang Ning's cheek, tickling and bringing an intimate feel, as Jiang Ning ruffled her hair:

"It is a bit pricey."

The gentle warm breath brushed against Jiang Ning's neck, as Xue Yuantong's tinkling laughter rang out, "Hehe."
