Lin Xiaoxiao knew that this was Captain Wang's good intention.

I even came here specifically to remind myself, just so I would be aware of the situation.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't hide anything, "Uncle, don't worry, even though I'm thin, I know a little bit of martial arts."

Seeing Captain Wang's suspicious look, Lin Xiaoxiao clearly didn't believe that someone as thin as Lin Xiaoxiao could fight.

Even if someone knows how to fight, if they don't have the strength, it's all just for show.

Lin Xiaoxiao directly found a piece of wood.

"Smack!" Right in front of Captain Wang, he used his knee to split himself in two.

Captain Wang: ? ? ?

Captain Wang's eyes widened. Had he seen that right?

This doll is so strong, and such a thick piece of raw wood, how could it be broken like that?

No wonder he wasn't afraid of someone as tough as Hu Hongying; with that kind of strength, even the strongest men in the village might not be able to do it.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhiqing still possessed martial arts skills, which put his mind at ease knowing that Lin Xiaoxiao was living alone.

Seeing the broken firewood, Captain Wang couldn't help but say, "Lin Zhiqing, if you ever get into a conflict with someone in the future, remember to go easy on them!"

"No, if you encounter any problems in the future, don't take action first. Let your uncle take care of everything for you." Captain Wang was afraid that the village's tough guys wouldn't be able to withstand Lin Xiaoxiao's beating.

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Uncle, I'm a very reasonable person. As long as others don't mess with me, I'm willing to give them a friendly look. But when I encounter some trash, I try to hold back. I'll only take action if I really can't stand it anymore."

“I used to give away my fists without hesitation, but to support your work, I’m willing to tone it down a bit.”

Captain Wang: "......" Well, thank you in advance.

Never mind, Lin Zhiqing seems to know her place; she wouldn't say such discouraging things now.

Seeing that there weren't many things prepared at home, Lin Xiaoxiao went inside and took out an apple, handing it to Captain Wang: "By the way, Uncle, how much did it cost for the house repairs, materials, and labor today?"

Captain Wang hesitated a couple of times, but finally took the apple. He took a couple of bites of the fragrant apple, his face practically beaming with delight. This was an apple, after all; he might not get to eat one all year.

Captain Wang looked satisfied as he discussed the repair costs for Lin Xiaoxiao's house.

"Four people came today, and it hasn't even been a full day yet. Including the weeding and stuff, you can give them 80 cents. They don't need many materials, so 5 yuan will do."

Four people cost 80 cents, plus 5 yuan for materials, so the total is 8 yuan and 20 cents.

Without saying a word, Lin Xiaoxiao took out money and gave it to Captain Wang.

The two chatted for a few more minutes before Captain Wang went back.

Before going back, he reminded Lin Xiaoxiao to be careful and to make sure the door was locked when she went to sleep at night.

If you notice anything amiss, shout loudly so that nearby people can hear you. He has already told the villagers in the vicinity.

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and agreed.

By the time Captain Wang left, it was already dark.

Without hesitation, Lin Xiaoxiao turned around and went back to the kitchen, fetched two buckets of water, and started boiling water to wash the pot she had just bought.

She had already asked when she bought the pot that it needed to be seasoned with fatty meat. She spent most of the day fiddling with it and finally got the pot sorted out.

Then I washed all the new dishes and chopsticks I bought today twice. I piled everything up in the pot first, so that I could put everything in the cupboard when it arrives.

These things are all just for show; she has to make sure they look the way she usually does.

Not only that, you should also light a fire every day, otherwise people won't see smoke coming from the house.

They would be suspicious if they were to eat on their own.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a little annoyed. When she was in the county town, she should have checked the coal stove, or tried to take out the Wen family's coal stove from her space and make it public.

Forget it, we already have enough stuff for today. If we bring back a coal stove, it will just be an eyesore.

I'll tinker with it next time I have time.

By the time we finished doing all that, it was completely dark.

Lin Xiaoxiao immediately flashed into her spatial dimension, first putting rice in the rice cooker to cook, and then putting a steak in the oven to bake. She needed to replenish herself after doing so much work today.

Then I went upstairs to take a shower.

After a relaxing shower, Lin Xiaoxiao sprinkled seasoning on the steak, prepared a simple vegetable dish, and enjoyed a satisfying meal. Afterward, she made a yogurt salad to cleanse her stomach of the grease.

After finishing her meal, she watched TV for a while as usual, and then went to bed when it was time to go to sleep.

Lin Xiaoxiao had just fallen asleep when she heard very faint footsteps.

Lin Xiaoxiao immediately opened her eyes.

Realizing someone had entered her yard, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.

Lin Xiaoxiao quickly entered the space, dressed herself up nicely, and then flashed out of the space, looking coldly at the outside.

Under the moonlight, three furtive men could be seen standing outside the house.

Standing at the front was a rather sturdy man. If there had been a light, one could have seen that this man bore a resemblance to Hu Hongying from that morning. He was Hu Hongying's son, Wang Jinbao.

Wang Jinbao whispered to the person next to him, "You two, be quiet, don't disturb that female educated youth."

Wang Er chuckled: "Don't worry, boss. The three of us can easily take down a girl."

They were building a human ladder to climb over, but no matter what Wang Dabao did, he couldn't get over.

In the past, everything went smoothly, but this time, for some reason, I just can't get anything out of the box.

Wang Jinbao couldn't help but frown: "Why is today so strange? I can't seem to get through it."

"Damn it, send someone else up."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a young man was pushed forward. "Hurry, hurry, you're quick, you can definitely get over there."

The person pushed forward was a young man around 20 years old. He was an educated youth who came from the village and had been there for several years.

Because of his cleverness, he caught the attention of a local hoodlum, who then invited him to join him in petty theft.

At first, Zhang San disagreed, but after a while, Erlizi showed him the benefits, and he began to look down on the village's public points.

After that, he started hanging out with the village hooligans every day.

Because Zhang San did many immoral things, the already tense relationship between the villagers and educated youth became even worse.

Zhang San moved forward and asked, "Aren't we going too far by doing this?"

Wang Dabao interrupted him impatiently: "Shut up, don't you want your share of the spoils?"

Unable to resist, Zhang San could only slowly step onto their shoulders, using his hands and feet at the same time. For some reason, the mud under his feet was particularly slippery, and Zhang San couldn't get through no matter what he did.

Zhang San lost his balance and fell flat on his back. Wang Dabao and Wang Er also slipped and fell one after the other, and the three of them were in a sorry state.

"I refuse to believe it, I can't even climb over a mud wall," Wang Dabao muttered under his breath.
