Niu Mansheng saw that Wu Xiaoyu's chicken farm was undamaged, and he stormed down the mountain in a huff. When he got home and saw his son still sleeping, he vented all his anger on him.
He picked up a shoe from the floor and started beating his son's butt, shouting, "I'll beat the crap out of you, you useless good-for-nothing! It's already this late and you're still sleeping!"
Niu Dachun woke up from the beating, clutching his butt as he retorted, "So what if I'm useless? Why don't you go find your successful son!"
Niu Dachun's mother heard the commotion and rushed in, hugging Niu Mansheng while crying, "What are you hitting him for? It's so early in the morning, what could he have done to annoy you!"
Exhausted from the beating, Niu Mansheng sat on the bed, panting heavily as he said, "Get up quickly and go call Niu Fengfeng and the others over!"
"It's so early, what do you want them for!" Niu Dachun objected, his face full of reluctance.
