Chapter 211: Setting the Dog on Someone Only to Get Bitten by the Dog Themselves

Tang Chen glanced at the young female boss and her son. The young woman looked to be in her mid-twenties, while her child was already four or five years old. That meant she had given birth right around the age of twenty. If he counted back, wasn’t she only eighteen or nineteen when she had got intimate with a man?

Tang Chen twitched his lips. Right now, he really wanted to tell the boy, “Your dad is truly a beast.”

Xiaojun covered his thigh and cried loudly, “Mom, I was bitten by a dog! A huge dog—it hurts so much!”

The young woman froze for a moment, then panicked and shouted, “What? How could you get bitten by a dog? What happened?” She anxiously pulled the boy’s hand away and indeed saw two deep tooth marks on his thigh. Blood had already soaked through his pants.

“Wahh… it was Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming called me a bastard child. He said I don’t have a dad. I got so angry that I fought him, and then he set his dog on me!”

While crying, Xiaojun told his mother what had happened. His little face was covered in tears, which was truly heartbreaking.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry. It’s okay, it’s okay. Mom will take you to the hospital right away. Right away!” The young woman hugged Xiaojun dearly, patting his back as she comforted him.

“Boss lady, please take your child to the hospital quickly. If it was a mad dog, that could be trouble.”

“Yes, the child is in so much pain. He’s pitiful. You should hurry and get him the rabies vaccine.”

A few customers who were eating also came over and expressed their concern. These were all neighbors, and seeing Xiaojun in this state made them feel sorry for him.

“Thank you, everyone. Big Brother, Sister-in-law, could you please help watch the shop for me? I’ll take my son to the hospital right away.” The young woman did not waste any time. After expressing her gratitude, she picked up Xiaojun and prepared to hail a taxi to the hospital.

“Mom, it’s him! He’s the one who hit me! He even threw a brick at our Wangcai!” At this moment, a child who looked about the same age as Xiaojun led a plump woman over. This child was Xiao Ming, and the plump woman was his mother. Next to the plump woman, she was pulling a large dog that was baring its teeth.

As soon as Xiaojun saw the dog, he started wailing again and cried out, “Mom, this is the dog that bit me! I’m so scared! Wahh, wahh!”

“Are you Chen Xiaojun’s mother?” Xiao Ming’s mom showed no awareness of having done anything wrong. Instead, she stormed over angrily and scolded like a shrew, “I’d like to know what kind of parent you are! Can’t you discipline your son properly? Look at how he scratched my precious son’s face! And our Wangcai—he hit its leg with a brick until it’s limping! Do you even know that our Wangcai is a noble dog from the Philippines? If anything serious happens, can you take responsibility?”

Xiaojun’s mom had no intention of arguing. She just said anxiously, “Big Sister-in-law, let’s talk about the details after I come back from the hospital. I need to take my son to the hospital first. My son is in a lot of pain!”

“No way!” Xiao Ming’s mom shrieked weirdly and sneered, “What hospital? Your son isn’t going to die! If you don’t clear this up today, don’t even think about leaving! We’ll just call the police and go to the Police Station. Your little brat injured my precious son and Wangcai. You have to compensate me!”

Xiaojun’s mom also got angry. She didn’t like making trouble, but she wasn’t afraid of it either. She spoke firmly and righteously, “Big Sister-in-law, I don’t like what you’re saying. What do you mean we have to compensate you? Don’t you know that it was our Xiaojun who got bitten by the dog! Besides, I’ve heard from our Xiaojun how it started. Your Xiao Ming called our Xiaojun a bastard child first, and that’s why Xiaojun couldn’t take it and fought back. And then what? Your Xiao Ming set the dog on him! Should we ask the neighbors here to judge who’s right?”

“That’s right. I also think Xiaojun’s mom isn’t wrong. They are the victims here.”

“Xiao Ming’s mom, stop making trouble. Let Xiaojun’s mom take the child to the hospital first. We can talk about everything else after the child is treated.”

“Yeah, a fight between two kids shouldn’t turn into this. Letting the dog bite someone is a bit too much!”

When Xiao Ming’s mom heard this, she said coldly, “What’s this? Everyone thinks we’re in the wrong? But I don’t think our Xiao Ming said anything wrong. Your Xiaojun is a bastard child. Your husband ran off with some vixen from outside. Aren’t you going to admit it? How ridiculous.”

Xiaojun’s mom’s face changed. It seemed she remembered something unpleasant and said with some pain, “Xiao Ming’s mom, we are neighbors. They say a near neighbor is better than a distant relative. Do you have to stab me in the back like this?”

Xiao Ming’s eyes darted around. This little brat kicked the big dog Wangcai in the rear. Wangcai yelped in pain, barked twice, bared its fangs, and then lunged to bite Xiaojun and his mother!

“Xiaojun’s mom, watch out! Run!” a neighbor shouted. Then, all the eating customers scattered to avoid getting hurt by mistake.

“Ah!” Xiaojun’s mom screamed. It was too late to run. She just hugged Xiaojun tightly, wanting to protect him from being bitten.

Crack!

Everyone heard a crisp sound and saw Wangcai bite directly into Tang Chen’s arm. Tang Chen didn’t move at all, letting its teeth sink into his right arm.

“Ah, sir, are you okay?” Xiaojun’s mom didn’t expect someone to risk themselves to save her and her son at such a moment. Feeling touched, she gasped in surprise.

Tang Chen smiled faintly and said, “It’s nothing. Just like a mosquito bite.” As he spoke, he exerted force, gripped Wangcai by the neck, grabbed its big mouth with both hands, and pulled it off his arm.

“Wangcai! Let go of our Wangcai! Stop!” Xiao Ming’s mom shrieked, seemingly having forgotten that it was their Wangcai that attacked first.

Tang Chen sneered coldly and said disdainfully, “Old Bitch, this Young Master is very unhappy right now. I heard everything clearly just now. It was your own rotten son who set the dog on someone. And now you still want them to compensate you? You like biting people, huh? Fine. You can taste the consequences of your own actions!”

As he said this, Tang Chen grabbed Wangcai by the tail, swung it with force, and threw it directly at Xiao Ming. Wangcai barked madly twice, then opened its mouth and bit Xiao Ming right in the crotch.

“Ahhh! Mom, it bit my pee-pee!” Xiao Ming cried out in pain, hopping left and right.

“My son!” Xiao Ming’s mom rushed over and, like an idiot, tried to pull the dog away. The result was Wangcai also chomped down on her thigh with a crunch. Xiao Ming’s mom ignored the pain, picked up her son, and ran. Wangcai chased after them desperately, and just like that, a chase scene unfolded on the street…

The neighbors watched, stunned. Tang Chen clapped his hands and laughed with satisfaction. “This is called ‘setting the dog on someone only to get bitten by the dog themselves.’ Boss lady, don’t waste time. Hurry and take your son to the hospital.”

Xiaojun’s mom didn’t have time to thank him. She acknowledged with an “Mhm,” then said somewhat hesitantly, “But it’s hard to get a taxi here. I’ll take my son on the bus.”

Tang Chen waved his hand and said, “The Bus is too slow, boss lady. I have money. I’ll take you. Get in the car quickly.”

Xiaojun’s mom said a bit embarrassedly, “How can I trouble you like this?”

Tang Chen said casually, “It’s nothing. This is an emergency. Boss lady, don’t be polite. Hurry and get in the car. I see Xiaojun is in a lot of pain. Let’s get to the hospital quickly.”

“Okay, then I’ll trouble you.” Xiaojun’s mom bit her lip, then carried Xiaojun and got in the car with Tang Chen to leave. Tang Chen drove them to the hospital. After the doctor’s examination, it turned out Xiaojun wasn’t seriously injured. The dog from Xiao Ming’s family didn’t have rabies or anything, but to prevent any issues, he still got a preventive shot.

Xiaojun’s mom said to Tang Chen with deep gratitude, “Sir, thank you so much. You helped us with our trouble and even drove us to the hospital. I truly don’t know how to repay you.”

Tang Chen smiled and said, “Boss lady, don’t be so polite. Helping out when you see injustice is a small matter. Just call me Tang Chen.”

Seeing that Xiaojun’s pain had lessened quite a bit, the boss lady also relaxed and laughed, “Okay, Tang Chen. Don’t call me boss lady anymore. My name is Fang Qian. You look about four or five years younger than me. If you don’t mind, you can call me Sister Fang.”

Tang Chen chuckled and said, “Sure, Sister Fang. You’re so young—I was afraid calling you ‘sister’ might make you seem older.”

“Giggle.” Fang Qian laughed charmingly and said, “I didn’t expect you to be such a smooth talker.”
