Setting: Fictional parallel universe, please do not reference historical events!
Bai Fumei Su Qingci, who managed a farm in modern times, was sent to the 1970s as a young educated youth by Ce...
Abu, with a stiff face, knocked on Kong Liu's door.
"Sixth Master, the police... the police station called. They said Miss Yuzhen got into another fight and they want us to come over..."
Kong Liu suddenly stood up from the sofa. "What?"
"Back at the police station again?"
"Where are A-Yang and A-Yong?"
Abu paused for a moment, then said, "Sixth Master, they...they went in too..."
Kong Liu angrily slammed the lighter in his hand to the ground. "Yuzhen is ignorant, but are those two idiots ignorant too?"
"That police station, normal people would avoid it like the plague, but they're always going in there?"
"Are you out of your mind? Do you think this is Shanghai? You think you can cause all this trouble? This is Kyoto, Kyoto!!!"
"What are you standing there for? Get the car ready!"
Abu wiped the drool from his face and quickly followed Kong Liu outside.
Inside the police station.
Kong Liu awkwardly apologized to the group of students, paid for their medical expenses, and then led Kong Yuzhen and the other three away.
As soon as Su Qingci stepped out the door, she greeted the other person but ran away faster than a rabbit before waiting for a response.
With a dark expression, Kong Liu looked at A Yang and A Yong, who were hanging their heads, and then at Kong Yuzhen, who was standing still. He said in a low voice, "Aren't you leaving?"
Hearing those incredibly oppressive words, Kong Yuzhen obediently got into the car.
Once in the car, Kong Liu slapped A Yang and A Yong hard across the head, yelling, "I told you to look at someone, I told you to look at someone, and you've brought me to the police station again!"
"If you can do it, then do it; if you can't, then go home and retire like Aunt Qin. You idiot, you idiot!!!"
"At your age, haven't you ever been to school? What a disgrace! Cutting in line to see a peacock, and you even managed to get into the police station..."
Hearing the resounding slaps, Kong Yuzhen didn't dare to make a sound. She had clearly seen her older brother pay over two hundred yuan in medical expenses to someone else.
Ah Yong and Ah Yang didn't dare to hide; they just kept their heads down and kept admitting their mistakes.
"Sixth Master, we were wrong, we will never dare to do it again."
"We're sorry, Sixth Master, we really know we were wrong. Please don't upset yourself."
"Sixth Master, please stop hitting him, your hand hurts..."
After slapping his underling, Kong Liu turned to look at Kong Yuzhen with a dark expression.
He asked in a sinister tone, "Is it fun?"
“You can’t stand a day without causing trouble. Let me tell you, starting today, don’t even think about leaving the house. Stay in the restaurant and behave yourself. If you cause any more trouble, I’ll have someone send you back tonight and hand you over to your sister-in-law to discipline.”
"Did you hear that?!"
Kong Yuzhen shuddered in fright, "Listen, I heard it!"

Su Qingci returned to her room, locked the door, and after confirming that the room was safe, she slipped into the farm.
I took off my clothes, took a shower, changed into my pajamas, and sat on the sofa eating a chilled watermelon.
She lived a rather extravagant life during this period, going to the farm every night to sleep with the air conditioning on, and overdrawing the time stored up there every day.
There was no way around it; the guesthouse was not only in poor condition, but it was also hot and had a lot of mosquitoes. When it was time to sleep at night, not only were you covered in sweat, but the constant buzzing of mosquitoes in your ears was enough to drive you crazy.
Thinking about the task she was currently carrying out, and how well she could manage to accumulate a lot of free time, she wasn't as stingy as before.
After Su Qingci finished a large piece of watermelon, she took out a box of pickled chicken feet, opened her tablet, found a novel she had downloaded before, and started reading while eating, thoroughly enjoying herself.
To be honest, compared to being in the army, life outside seems much more comfortable.
As she ate, Su Qingci began to ponder. After this mission was completed, she really needed to find a way to be discharged from the military, since the college entrance examination would be reinstated soon.
She remembered that around the time the college entrance examination was reinstated, speculative and profiteering individual businesses would gradually emerge.
She has such a big farm with plenty of food and drink, why would she want to go inside those walls and scheme against others?
Climbing the ladder? Sorry, she has no interest in that, nor does she crave that lofty power.
She knew that with great responsibility came great responsibility, and she didn't want to exhaust herself with that kind of mental strain.
I don't have the ability to strategize and plan.
She's perfectly suited to eating and drinking all day, lying down and sleeping, exploring the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland, and tasting all the delicacies in the world.
Her aspirations were that low.
As for whether or not to take the college entrance examination after its resumption? Others can go if they want, but she's not going.
Not everyone in this world loves reading. She's one of those who doesn't. Those theories and theories just give her a headache. She finally graduated from university, and now she's throwing herself back into reading. What's the point?
It's not like she's starving or thirsty, or that she needs a diploma to find a job, or has any lofty ideals, ambitions, or life goals.
Instead of just wasting her time in there, she might as well find a piece of land and make herself a farm, so that at least her things in her own space would have a place to go in the future.
Su Qingci's nose was running from the spiciness of the pickled pepper chicken feet, so she quickly ran into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of ice-cold beer.
Kong Yuzhen is definitely not going to get out of here in the next two days. After going in and out of the police station twice, Kong Liu's suspicions about her should be greatly reduced.
Since Kong Yuzhen can't get out, I'll have to go find her myself tomorrow.
According to what Kong Yuzhen said, they should be leaving Kyoto soon, and I need to find a way to get Kong Liu to take her with him.
Kong Yuzhen is a key figure in this, and figuring out how to make Kong Liu lower his guard is also a problem.
On the other side, at the Peace Hotel.
Kong Liu stood by the window with his hands behind his back, asking A Yong, A Yang, and Jiang Yuyan about their performance today.
Ah Yong and Ah Yang exchanged a glance and spoke frankly.
"Sixth Master, that woman is a shameless scoundrel, and incredibly stingy too."
"Yes, as soon as she saw us, she immediately emphasized that she wouldn't pay for the tickets, and even tried to help us sneak in without paying..."
"It was also her suggestion to cut in line..."
Abu waved for the two to leave, then turned to Kong Liudao and said, "Sixth Master, perhaps we're overthinking it."
"It's unlikely that such a low-class scoundrel is a cop. The most important thing for cops when hiring is character!"
Kong Liu paused for a moment, then said, "It's better to be careful. Have the people over there keep an eye on things and see if they've contacted anyone else."
"If you find any problems, you know what to do..."
Abu nodded. "I understand, Sixth Master."
As Kong Liu heard the door close behind him, a dark glint flashed in his brown eyes.
He had a bad feeling about Kyoto.
In these big cities, goods are actually harder to acquire than in those remote little places. Not only are the prices high, but there's nothing impressive to offer.
The good stuff has already been collected and hidden away by those in the know. Once our informants bring it over, let's quickly retreat back to Shanghai!
