Chapter 163 Reason

It wasn't until Zhang Wei got into his own car that he realized how dangerous the situation had been.

Betty kept holding Zhang Wei's hand, saying self-reproachfully, "Poor Vera! Are you scared? I shouldn't have let you go with me!"

Zhang Wei shook her head and comforted her: "I always want to see the other side of this place, right? I'm already grown up, and we are safe. Don't worry, I'm fine."

She was still touching the wooden warehouse, and it turned out to be quite heavy. Zhang Wei did not take the robber's wooden warehouse away, but left it on the supply truck. The driver and others would deal with it.

In fact, her hand was wet with sweat when she held it, and she was afraid that it would go off accidentally and the robber would be scared away by the old man, so she immediately threw it aside.

Then Betty praised again, "You are really agile. It seems that Miss Venus's teaching was good. If she were here this time, it would be easy to deal with such a thief."

Zhang Wei then remembered her ambition from many years ago: to become a strong female warrior like Venus.

This wish is still far from being realized. Perhaps Emma also knew that they would stop training because of their studies, so she allowed her and Namir to indulge in physical training as they were previously keen on.

Because the possibilities that parents had previously imagined would not happen would not happen at all: Namier would learn fighting and then take up a threatening job, and Zhang Wei would become a personal bodyguard like Venus.

Because they simply didn't have time to continue, Zhang Wei himself hadn't trained for a long time, only doing some simple exercises occasionally, and even hitting the sandbag less often.

However, Zhang Wei had nothing to do this summer vacation. She wanted to improve her skills and techniques, especially after the dangerous situation she had just experienced. Like Betty, she had the same idea in her mind: I wish she could be as good as Venus!

This way, she will be more courageous to venture into the wider world, instead of having to rely on others to accompany her even when she goes to a bad neighborhood.

After returning, Betty and Zhang Wei told Emma about their experience in detail. Emma agreed and said to Betty:

"You did the right thing. If the other party has weapons, you should calm them down first. Thank you for bringing Vera back safely!"

He also said to Zhang Wei: "I don't agree with your behavior of snatching the weapon. Although you think that the old man has him under control, what if you are wrong?"

Zhang Wei was speechless for a moment.

Emma continued to speak sternly to her: "You must always put your own life and safety first. You are only responsible for yourself!"

"I know, Mom."

Finally, Emma said that she would arrange to send coffee as a thank you, and she didn't need to worry about it, and she didn't need to send it herself.

Zhang Wei nodded to indicate that she understood. Although she said so, she couldn't run away alone and put others in danger, especially Aunt Betty who had been with her for a long time.

So the biggest problem was that she was not capable enough, and she had not trained for a long time so she was not confident in her skills. In fact, when she accurately kicked away the robber's weapon, she felt that if she had taken action before, she would have had a chance to knock his weapon away.

Alas, this wouldn’t happen in the country. Who says there is no gun ban here?

In fact, Zhang Wei also asked many people, including the Wilsons, and almost everyone she asked was against Mucangzhi. There were guns in her house at that time, and Zhang Wei had seen them.

It wasn't just that the Wilsons were talking, and the mugshots they opposed were long weapons, while the ones they used at home and what Zhang Wei saw today were all hand mugshots.

In their view, the hand-held wooden cang has the same status as the kitchen knife in China. It is more of a self-defense tool and will only be used to cut people when necessary.

There is also a more important political reason. It is allowed by the Constitution of Country A, which is in Article 2 of the Constitution.

It can be said that the victory of Country A's War of Independence was largely due to the people's support for the Southern Army.

Therefore, half of the credit for the establishment of Country A lies with the people themselves.

Allowing the people to hold wooden warehouses became the founding law of the country, and the significance of the existence of this law is that in a free country, the right to freedom always belongs to the people.

If the government becomes corrupt in the future, the people have the right to regain their freedom. This means that if the government loses the support of the people and refuses to step down, the people can pick up their cannons and overthrow them.

So in fact, the government of Country A hopes to ban wooden cannons like socialist countries more than the people do. In addition, this is also an important business of the consortium, so not only will the people not agree, the consortium will not give up this lucrative business.

Therefore, if Zhang Wei continues to live in Country A in the future, she must not only have good skills, but also learn to use the wooden cannon. Before Zhang Wei even mentioned it, Emma said that she would ask Venus to come and take her to the shooting range for training.

Although the legal age for holding a wood warehouse in Country A is 18 years old, this only refers to the application for a wood warehouse certificate, and the age of the owner of the wood warehouse is 18 years old.

But in fact, many children over the age of ten have access to it, and they can access it through gifts from relatives, etc., and they do not need to determine the owner of the wooden warehouse before they can access it.

So Zhang Wei felt that it was not too early for her to get in touch with Venus now. She would just ask her directly when they got together and see what she said.

Afterwards, Betty was actually still a little scared. She had been robbed before, but they were all just direct robberies without any weapons. As a result, she has not been doing volunteer work recently.

Dora was about to return to New York City, so Zhang Wei asked Betty to help prepare the menu for their party.

When Betty learned that Zhang Wei was going to hold a food tasting meeting, she was also very interested. They looked up many recipes together, and Zhang Wei took advantage of her position to pick many Chinese food recipes.

"Oh! Honey, do you want to have a party with only Chinese food?"

Betty picked up the printed Chinese recipe with pictures and text and asked:

"But Claude doesn't know how to cook Chinese food. Should we hire a chef from outside?"

The old chef of Claude Wilson's family cooks pretty good food and has several specialties. Zhang Wei also thinks the taste is good and is worried that the quality is above that of ordinary restaurants.

Zhang Wei said tentatively, "How about we try it ourselves?"

She originally planned to have a little bit of everything, but now she thinks it would be nice if it were all Chinese food.

"Have you taken cooking classes? But your cooking level isn't enough to sustain a party." Betty expressed doubt about her ability.

"There's still some time before the party, how about I give it a try? If it doesn't work, we can go to Chinatown and hire a chef."

"Since you want to try it so much, you can ask Madam for her advice."

After Zhang Wei asked Emma, she immediately agreed. Zhang Wei felt that since she turned fourteen, Emma seemed to immediately accept that she had really grown up, unlike before when she would not let her enter the kitchen no matter what.
