Ever since his brother-in-law became the Lord Magistrate, Du Yingliang has been putting on airs. Now that he's the Lord Magistrate's brother-in-law, who wouldn't try to curry favor with him, giving him a measure of respect?
Take this shop for instance, it has been at a standoff for nearly a month. It's not that no one wanted to buy it, but knowing that he was intent on acquiring it, no one dared to make the purchase. Why is that? Isn't it because they're afraid of offending his brother-in-law?
As Du Yingliang thought about it, the New Year was fast approaching too, and that Liu should have known his place by now. It was time to take over the shop, but upon his arrival, he heard that someone else had already bought it.
The little runt standing in front of him was the buyer, flaunting his arrogance as if he were superior to all. Du Yingliang felt so angry that smoke seemed to be rising from his head, as he itched to slap the boy a couple of times to teach him a lesson.
