[The Return of Fate] (A Common Man's Loss of Will) Chapter 164

Bullying Incident 2:
Educating and nurturing children, especially communicating with them, isn't necessarily difficult. The key is twofold: First,
lower your stance and treat them as equals. Don't always act superior, or you'll create resentment. Second, try to
enter their world, understand their thoughts and actions. If you can't do the first two, then find a way to earn
their respect and admiration.
Ye Nanfei didn't do this intentionally; he showed the child
a live broadcast of someone who was also bullied but used their abilities to change their situation. This gave the child a dream—that being a hero isn't just a dream, but something achievable
. Dreams give people passion and motivation, making life more fulfilling. Needless to say, he
achieved his goal; the child was indeed energized.
Chen Jinshan started talking to him about school. It wasn't hard to imagine; like every class,
there were two scapegoats. A bully led a few henchmen who wreaked havoc in the classroom,
and Jinshan was that scapegoat. Moreover, this bully in his class was particularly arrogant. A person's personality is determined by two factors: one is innate,
inherited from genes, and the other is influenced by the environment. Genetics is the determining factor, but environmental conditions can amplify or mitigate
certain personality traits.
For example, Chen Jinshan was born with a gentle and introverted personality, somewhat like his mother. His environment wasn't favorable;
his family was average, and he had a bully in his class. This could have led him to become increasingly introverted, even withdrawn, and
his already gentle nature might have become even more timid. Their bully, Cai Weiguo, was the opposite. He wasn't
particularly strong, but his personality was extremely eccentric. The other kids were afraid of him. Besides his naturally domineering personality, it was said that
his father was very powerful and could always smooth things over when he got into trouble, which indirectly encouraged the growth of his domineering personality.
He and his gang of followers would bully others on campus every day, taking pleasure in bullying the weak.
Jinshan was an indispensable member of this gang. But is it really fun to bully others all day long? The answer is interesting.
It's equivalent to power. I can trample on and dispose of you at will, and it's very enjoyable. Otherwise, you see
how fierce and bloody the power struggles are in the adult world.
After understanding the general situation, Ye Nanfei took him home: "Jinshan, if you don't want to be bullied, you have to
become stronger first. Start practicing with me tomorrow."
Jinshan: "Hey... hehe." This kid can still smile.
When they arrived at his house, Dapeng wasn't enthusiastic when he saw Ye Nanfei. No wonder, if his son needs someone else to manage him, isn't that
a tacit admission of his incompetence? Anyway, he was definitely unhappy. Gu Ling was also awkwardly overly enthusiastic, which
made the whole atmosphere very strange. Ye Nanfei originally wanted to leave, but seeing Gu Ling's grateful and expectant eyes, and Jinshan's
restored childlike smile, he held back.
Gu Ling busied herself preparing the meal, clearly having spared no expense; it was quite lavish. Da Peng's sarcastic remarks were
unbearable, so Gu Ling focused on talking to Xiao Jinshan, simply explaining what the training entailed and how
to train. Ye Nanfei described it vividly, and Jinshan listened intently. However, Da Peng and Gu Ling were quite
disappointed. They had thought Ye Nanfei could help resolve the issue and prevent Jinshan from being bullied, but it turned out
he was going to teach Jinshan to fight. This was hardly a solution! Besides, it was a long shot;
how long would it take for him to learn? And now he was already being bullied.
Da Peng said, "Teaching a child to fight isn't a good idea. With Jinshan's physique, it'll be a waste of time."
Gu Ling also looked at Ye Nanfei with skepticism.
Ye Nanfei: "Brother Dapeng, Sister Ling, I think teaching the kid skills is more important than solving his problems.
You can help him once or twice, but can you rely on him forever? He needs to learn to solve problems himself."
Dapeng: "That's for the future. He's being bullied now, and I heard that kid's father is
the head of the local industrial and commercial bureau around the machinery factory. We can't afford to offend him."
Ye Nanfei also felt a headache coming on. Ordinary people like us really can't afford to mess with officials, especially those in charge of Ye
Nanfei's line of work. "Ah, I was wondering why it's so serious. His son is practically a spoiled brat. We can't afford to
be afraid of him, but we can't just ignore him. If this continues, Jinshan will be ruined. If a person gets bullied, he'll become dejected and
lose all his energy. To regain his energy, Jinshan needs to fight that kid himself. And what I'm teaching
Jinshan isn't just fighting and self-defense, but more importantly, whether he can win. We shouldn't be afraid of trouble."
Dapeng and his wife... The couple was completely bewildered, but Ye Nanfei continued, "Brother Dapeng, you
two don't need to worry about this. I'll figure something out. Xiao Jinshan has to get his revenge, and he has to do it himself. Otherwise, we're confident we won't be able to get him
back. As for which police chief it is, we'll figure that out. We're not bullying his kid. Since his son is so domineering,
let the two kids fight fairly. If Jinshan gets beaten up again, we'll accept it. We're not afraid of being beaten, but we can't let someone bully us. If
the police chief is unreasonable, we're not afraid either. I'll figure something out. Starting tomorrow, Jinshan will practice with me in the morning, and
I'll pick him up from school in the evening. You don't need to worry."
Hearing this, the couple finally understood. Dapeng, who had been sarcastic before, became enthusiastic
and grateful. This was a huge help to his family. Before, he seemed relaxed, but was he really not worried? His son was always being bullied,
and he really couldn't afford to offend that family. Transferring schools was out of the question, but he was just a small worker with no connections. His sudden change of
attitude stemmed from the realization that what Ye Nanfei could do, he himself couldn't.
Moreover, if he followed Ye Nanfei's example, his son wouldn't have to worry about the future; not only would the problems be solved, but he would also succeed. How could he not be happy?
In his excitement, he felt that Ye Nanfei was a worthwhile friend, someone who might be of great help in the future. He also vaguely felt that
his wife's affair with Ye Nanfei might not have been such a bad thing after all.
Gu Ling was even more grateful, saying, "Da Peng, quickly pour Nanfei some wine! I'll go get a couple more dishes. You two brothers,
drink slowly, don't rush. By the way, Jinshan, hurry up and kowtow to your uncle, become his disciple."
Ye Nanfei replied, "What's there to kowtow for? When I first came to Ula, it was you guys who helped me get a foothold.
We're all family, no need for all that formality."
Da Peng said, "No, no, it's only right for a child to become a disciple. We know your kung fu. If Jinshan
could learn from you, I'd be more than happy. Hehe, hurry up, Jinshan, kneel down and kowtow."
Ye Nanfei said, "Oh, don't bother becoming a disciple, how about becoming my godson instead?"
Gu Ling: "Hehe, that's fine, that's fine too. Jinshan, kneel down and call me godfather."
And just like that, he took in a godson, though he wasn't really willing. You know, at such a young age, he's either a master or a godfather
, making him seem so old.
Ye Nanfei's plan was this: every morning he'd take Jinshan to practice, since he himself needed to practice too. Mule,
Tiedan, and the others hadn't had the time to practice anymore; they'd fallen into disuse and would occasionally think of their little sister. Taking Jinshan to practice was only one aspect
. After school, he'd also take him to join in the fun. Why? Simply put, to let him experience more
of these kinds of situations. The more tense and dangerous the place, the more he'd take him. And sometimes,
he'd even take him to meet Fourth Brother, Da Ya, and the bandits.
He believed that Jinshan's problem wasn't physical, but rather his personality. If he wasn't brave and strong-willed
, teaching him any kung fu would be useless; he'd still get beaten up. If someone got angry, he'd just start shooting; if someone
challenged him, he'd tremble. How could he fight like that? He simply didn't dare to fight, lacking the courage. Therefore, a two-pronged approach was necessary:
physical and technical training, as well as character and mental fortitude. Having witnessed countless dangerous situations,
those classmates were no match for him anymore.
But these two trainings weren't enough; the most crucial element was practical combat training. Martial arts, martial arts, without real combat, becomes
mere dance. So, besides practicing basic skills, he had Jinshan report daily on the school's situation—how they
bullied him. Based on the actual situation, he taught him how to protect himself and counterattack: how to fight if he could win,
how to run if he couldn't, and how to protect vital areas from injury if he couldn't run.
Initially, he was mostly getting beaten up, and the beatings seemed to be escalating because these guys realized this pushover could fight back
, making harsher punishment inevitable. Ye Nanfei's response was, "Excellent, very good! A rare opportunity
for practical combat training!" He then racked his brains to teach him how to fight back. Jinshan, initially afraid and getting beaten up,
grew increasingly fond and excited because he found his training effective and improving daily
. It seems the best learning method, besides interest, is immediate feedback. Your efforts paying off instantly
is addictive.
As time went on, Ye Nanfei's plan gradually showed results. Chen Jinshan's spirits
improved, at least showing the vigor of youth. Seeing the child's renewed energy, Gu Ling was also pleased. However,
one day after school, Ye Nanfei noticed Jinshan was a little nervous and uneasy: "What's wrong? Didn't what I taught you today work? Did
you get beaten up? Didn't I tell you, don't be afraid of being beaten, just consider it training. They're all your sparring partners."
Jinshan: "Godfather, it seems they've planned to intercept me outside the school these next few days and teach me a lesson."
The situation was this: Cai Weiguo and others had recently been bullying Jinshan, and they discovered that this guy dared to fight back, and he
was becoming increasingly difficult to deal with. Sometimes even one or two people couldn't beat him, which made them very unhappy. Their authority was being
challenged; if you don't suppress him in time, who will take you seriously in the future? So they sent more men, determined to subdue
him. However, they discovered that while numbers could defeat him, they couldn't truly subdue him. When he couldn't win , he
would curl up, protecting his head, remaining silent no matter how much they attacked. But when these guys were alone,
he would retaliate, almost like a possessed spirit, fighting to the death.
This not only puzzled Cai Weiguo and his group, but also caught the attention of other school gangs. They felt a
sense of shared vengeance; a pushover daring to rebel posed a threat to their established power groups and had to be suppressed.
Moreover, many of the school's pushovers were gradually gathering around Chen Jinshan, so several smaller gangs joined forces to teach this
kid a lesson.
Ye Nanfei: "Aren't you scared?"
Jinshan: "There are several groups of them. If they all gang up on me, I definitely can't beat them."
Ye Nanfei: "The time is almost right. Do you think you can beat Cai Weiguo in a one-on-one fight?"
Jinshan said confidently: "If it's just him, I guarantee I can take him down."
Ye Nanfei: "Then that's settled. Tomorrow at school, you take the initiative to challenge them to
a duel at the bottom of the hill west of the school after school. Whoever doesn't come will admit defeat."
The next day, Chen Jinshan mustered up his courage and challenged Cai Weiguo to a duel face to face. He almost made Cai Weiguo laugh out loud.
Everyone was discussing how to intercept him after school, but this guy had the nerve to come and challenge them. He immediately called a few people to
come up and beat him up.
Chen Jinshan: "If you've got the guts, then we'll see after school."
After school, Chen Jinshan panicked a little because he didn't see Ye Nanfei waiting for him outside the school gate, and Cai Weiguo and
the others had already surrounded him. He had no choice but to stall for time. According to his godfather's instructions, he should go to the bottom of the hill west of the school.
So, a group of dozens of people arrived at the west side of the school. At the foot of the hill, in a clearing, they saw a
person sitting in the distance – it was Ye Nanfei. Chen Jinshan immediately perked up, while Cai Weiguo and his group hesitated.
These dozens of people weren't all his underlings; most were just there to watch the show. Even if he was domineering, he couldn't afford to mess with adults
. No wonder this kid had been so difficult lately; he'd found a powerful backer.
But since they were already there, they couldn't back down now. If they became a laughingstock and the news spread throughout the school tomorrow, they'd be finished
. Everyone gathered around. Cai Weiguo said, "Damn, Chen Jinshan, I was wondering why you were so cocky. Turns out you got some
big shots backing you up. What kind of skill is that? Hahaha. Why didn't you bring your teacher?"
Ye Nanfei replied, "You're Cai Weiguo, right? First of all, I'm not here to help him fight, but I can be
a host. You say he got some big shots backing him up, that's nothing, but getting a whole bunch of people to beat him up is something? Well
then, since you like bullying him so much, today the people you brought shouldn't lift a finger, and I absolutely won't..." "If you don't help him, you two can have a one
-on-one fight. Whoever wins is the toughest, and the loser shouldn't be bullying this person or that person all the time
. What do you all think? What kind of skill is it for a group of people to fight one person? If you've got the guts, have a one-on-one fight."
Ye Nanfei's humorous, vulgar, and down-to-earth language lightened the atmosphere. The kids felt that
this adult was different; not only did he not stop the fight, but he also let them have a one-on-one fight. This was novel, and some of the bolder ones
joined in the cheering, saying it was good. Anyway, those who wanted to watch the show weren't afraid of making things worse.
