"Well... what they did counts as fighting, but... that kind of fighting doesn't hurt." Sister Xu didn't really understand either, but she knew that this kind of thing was a private matter that could only be done with her husband and couldn't be told to outsiders.

"Huh? Fighting doesn't hurt? How is that possible? It hurts a lot when you pinch me, how could it not hurt Mom?" Xu Aihua didn't quite believe what her sister said. It hurt her a lot when she was pinched, and her mother even cried out, so it must have hurt a lot!

"I said it doesn't hurt, and it doesn't hurt. Do you even know what I'm talking about? Okay, I'm going to sleep now. I have to go to work tomorrow." Sister Xu had no idea why it didn't hurt when couples fought; she wanted to know too!

"Sis, don't sleep! Tell me more clearly!" Xu Aihua nudged her sister, wanting to know how to fight without hurting.

"..."

Seeing that her sister remained silent despite her attempts to nudge her, Xu Aihua had no choice but to lie back down and obediently go to sleep.

Sister Xu breathed a sigh of relief; she had finally managed to get away with it.

Sister Xu didn't tell her younger sister everything. She also knew that this kind of fighting could feel good, but she felt that the feeling of fighting was more unacceptable than not feeling pain, so she didn't say anything.

“That’s right, that’s what my sister said.” The next day at school, Xu Aihua told Mei Si everything she knew.

"Doesn't it hurt when couples fight?" Mei Si frowned. It seems that humans are indeed hard to understand, and she doesn't know enough about them.

"Yeah, it's so strange." Xu Aihua lay on the desk, also unable to figure out why it didn't hurt.

Lu Qi had always remembered her desire to get revenge on Mei Si. She had been observing Mei Si for several days, and Mei Si would go to eat on the street next door every day after school.

Lu Qi felt a pang of heartache as he watched Mei Si throw away the money. He thought Mei Si was being too wasteful; if she had that money, she could have bought so many useful things.

Lu Qi's eyes lit up. That's it! She could steal that money and use it herself! No sooner said than done, Lu Qi found a classmate she was close to that day, planning to beat up Mei Si after school that night and steal the money.

Lu Qi came directly to Mei Si's class to find her during the break.

"Meisi, someone's looking for you." Xue Xiaoqin glanced at Meisi disdainfully and called out sarcastically.

Mei Si left the classroom, looked around, wondering who was looking for her.

When Lu Qi saw that Mei Si didn't even dare to look her in the eye, she looked down on Mei Si even more.

"Don't leave after school if you dare," Lu Qi said, arms crossed, looking down at Mei Si with his nose in his mouth.

"...Seed?" Mei Si looked at the girl with particularly large nostrils in front of her with a puzzled expression, not understanding why she was asking her if she had any.

Meisi: Who brings seeds to school? Or did the teacher ask us to bring seeds?

"Hmph!" Lu Qi glared at Mei Si, then turned and left.

Mei Si returned to her seat, and Xu Aihua quickly ran over to ask what happened.

"Who's looking for you? They look pretty fierce."

“I don’t know him.” Mei Si shook her head, indicating that she did not know this person.

"So what did she want from you?" Xu Aihua had a feeling that the older girl was there to cause trouble.

"She asked me if I had any seeds, and if so, to leave them after school. Did the teacher ask everyone to bring seeds to school yesterday?"

"No? I don't remember the teacher saying that. I'll go ask Ye Guixiang." Xu Aihua was also a little uncertain after Mei Si asked her that.

Once Mei Si realized that the teacher hadn't asked them to bring seeds, she figured the girl might have gone to the wrong person.

After school, Mei Si slung her backpack over her shoulder and ran to the snack street. Mei Si was in a hurry because Xu Liang said he had researched a new barbecue method and wanted Mei Si to try it.

After Lu Qi met up with his friends, he ran to Mei Si's class to look for her, but he found no one there; Mei Si had been gone for quite some time.

"How dare you run away!" Lu Qi felt that Mei Si had disrespected her and made her lose face in front of her friends.

"What do we do now? Maybe we can come back tomorrow." Liu Chunhua was impatient to stand there like an idiot. She needed to hurry home for dinner. If she got home late, she would only be able to eat pickled vegetables.

“I know where she went, let’s go there and wait for her!” Lu Qi waved her hand, signaling her friends to follow her.

"Lu Qi, let's do it tomorrow. I need to go home for dinner, or I'll miss my chance." Liu Chunhua stood still. She didn't want to go looking for people; it was a waste of time. It would be better to come earlier tomorrow and wait for them.

"Liu Chunhua, wait for me! I'll go with you. My family is making meat today, and I need to hurry back, otherwise my brother won't leave any for me." Yan Ping called out to Liu Chunhua, asking to go together. Their families lived in the same area, so it was on their way.

"Hey Lu Qi, I need to go home early too. I didn't tell my mom I'd be late tonight. How about I tell her tonight and we can ambush her again tomorrow?" Zhang Feng saw that the two of them were about to leave, and there was no point in leaving just her and Lu Qi, so she tried to persuade Lu Qi to ambush the girl again tomorrow.

"Hey! Don't go! If you help me beat her up, I'll treat you to something good! There'll be meat!" Seeing how nonchalant the others were, Lu Qi knew she had to pay up. She had originally planned to keep Mei Si's money for herself, but now it seemed impossible.

"Really?" Liu Chunhua was a little suspicious that Lu Qi was lying. Lu Qi's family wasn't well-off, so it was impossible for him to have the money to treat them to a meal.

"Let me be frank with you, this Meisi has a lot of money in her pocket, and she goes out to eat delicious food every day after school."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? Let's go quickly, the sooner we finish beating them, the sooner we can eat meat!" Yan Ping stepped forward and put her arm around Lu Qi's shoulder, urging Lu Qi to lead the way.

"Let's get this straight, we can't spend all the money on food. I want to buy other things too," Lu Qi reminded the three of them, reminding them that they couldn't spend all the money they had stolen on food.

"Of course, I can't spend all my money on food. I know a place that sells..."
