Chapter 1308: Five Plus Five Does Not Equal Ten
Old Lady Zhou was upset when she heard that her sons wanted to decide Mengyu’s fate with a martial duel. "Oh my sons, let’s not fight. We bought this woman with money. How can we have a battle over her? Let’s not fight."
It’s not that she feared her sons would lose, but she felt it wasn’t worth it. In her opinion, her two sons were the best in the village because they were twins with a unique mental connection. Their actions were always in sync, making them far more formidable than others.
You Laoer glanced at Old Lady Zhou, his eyebrows twitching slightly, and said, "Alright, since you two want to fight, then go ahead!"
Settling disputes through martial power was a tradition in Tiger Valley. But because he was the one doing the plundering, it would have been inappropriate for him to suggest it unless the Zhou Brothers brought it up first.
But when they proposed it, it provided him a good excuse: if the decision was made through martial power, then he wouldn’t be accused of taking advantage of his position to seize his brothers’ wife. Instead, it would be a matter of being outskilled and not competent enough.
Old Lady Zhou saw that her sons proposed the duel and You Laoer agreed, so there was no way to change the situation. She could only pat Zhou Daleng on one side and Zhou Erleng on the other, scolding them for being foolish.
So, a group of people lit torches and headed straight to the village’s martial arts arena, with Mengyu, who was there to watch, naturally following along.
At the martial arts arena, Tie Laosan, responsible for overseeing the duel, stood and asked the Zhou Brothers again, "Are you sure you want to have a martial duel with Second Brother to decide Jiang Mengyu’s fate? Will you not regret it if you lose?"
The Zhou Brothers, although simple, weren’t entirely foolish. They understood that if they didn’t fight this battle, they wouldn’t stand a chance, and afterwards, people would point at their backs and say, "Look at those cowardly men, giving up their wife just because Second Brother said so."
By fighting this battle, it would be because they were outskilled in the duel, not because they gave up their wife willingly.
Besides, who says they are sure to lose against You Laoer?
Proposing this duel might seem reckless, but it was actually well-considered.
Therefore, Zhou Daleng answered sincerely, "Yes, we want to decide Jiang Mengyu’s fate through a martial duel with Second Brother. If we lose, we won’t regret it. But if we win—"
Zhou Erleng continued, "We absolutely won’t yield!"
Upon hearing that the Zhou Brothers were facing off against You Laoer, the entire village was stirred.
Are these two brothers bored out of their minds? How dare they challenge Second Brother?
Yet, seeing Zhou Daleng and Zhou Erleng standing confidently in the martial arts arena, the villagers couldn’t help but believe that these two reckless men were really going to duel with Second Brother.
Tie Laosan raised his left hand, holding a whistle in his right, and asked, "Are you ready? Listen for my whistle to start!"
As soon as the whistle blew, just as the Zhou Brothers were about to take their initial stance, they saw You Laoer leap into the air, with his feet spread apart, kicking towards them.
The two hurriedly tried to change their move, dodging You Laoer’s attack and each delivering a punch towards him. At this moment, You Laoer’s maneuver was already set, making it too late for him to alter it.
However, just as they were about to switch techniques, they suddenly felt a heavy weight on their bodies and couldn’t dodge in time, getting kicked by You Laoer and sent flying.
"Good!"
The crowd cheered loudly, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at You Laoer: their Second Brother was indeed formidable.
