"You're out of your mind."

"You're the one with the brains full of water. Look, your true colors are about to show up."

Zhou Jingli pointed at him and said.

"I advise you to take your hand back, or I'll break your fingers."

"Just point it, who cares about me?"

Li Mingqing took a step forward without saying anything else, and effortlessly pulled his hand back.

Zhou Jingli screamed in pain.

Li Mingdan lifted him up with one hand and threw him heavily to the ground.

It was as if the person being picked up was not an adult man but a child who was only a few months old.

Zhou Jingli was scared to death.

Killing him is as easy as killing an ant.

Things happened so quickly that Li Mingqing was gone when the village chief and the team leader came out.

The people playing chess nearby stared at Zhou Jingli lying on the ground in amazement.

"Zhou Zhiqing, aren't you going back to the Zhiqing Institute?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine—"

He got up, brushed off the dust on his body, and ran back in panic.

It's so embarrassing.

I will definitely avoid Li Mingqing next time I see him.

It's so scary.

His fingers hurt so much that he was afraid they were really broken.

Instead of going back to the educated youth center, he went straight to see the barefoot doctor.

——

"Brother Mingqing, why does the village chief want to see you?"

"New Year's Eve is coming soon, so write a big-character poster."

"Just now, my third sister-in-law sent me a stack of red paper to help write Spring Festival couplets."

"Just one stack was delivered to one room?"

"My third sister-in-law said we can just use the leftovers if we buy too much."

It was rare for Yang Daya to be so generous, so he accepted it without hesitation.

In the evening, villagers came to Li's house one after another to get couplets, and he received a lot of things sent by his fellow villagers.

"Look how beautifully these Spring Festival couplets are written."

"Ming Qing is really hard-working, helping with the Spring Festival couplets every year."

"He is the most learned man in the village, otherwise how could he be the most promising?"

"Yes, everyone has had such a comfortable year thanks to Ming Qing."

Everyone was talking and praising him non-stop.

In addition to praising him, he also praised Niu Niu.

"Girls take after their fathers. Look at her appearance. She looks just like a Ming or Qing dynasty girl."

"You can tell at a glance that he's smart and has a bright future."

…

Li Mingqing listened to the compliments from the villagers and said, "Don't be so reserved, fellow villagers. I'm really embarrassed to tell you the truth."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We are speaking the truth."

A group of people wanted to praise him to the sky.

It took more than ten minutes before they left one after another.

As Sun Jiaxue packed her things, she said, "The aunts and uncles are so polite. You give her an egg and she gives you an egg. If you put them in the basket, it looks like it's half full. Some also gave radishes and cabbages."

“It’s true that we sent quite a few things.”

The two agreed to send these things back later.

By the end of the autumn harvest, the villagers had already given us a lot of things, so it would be inappropriate to collect more.

When Old Man Li came over and saw so many things, he also agreed with Li Mingqing's decision.

Although this year is more relaxed than in previous years and we don’t have to tighten our belts, it’s still not that relaxed.

When the couple came back after delivering the things, they saw a man standing at the door.

When I got closer, I saw it was Zhou Jingli.

The joint of my index finger was dislocated, and the barefoot doctor couldn't fix it after trying for a long time.

If it was just a dislocated ankle, it could be straightened, but this is the first time I've seen a finger dislocated and swollen like this.

Zhou Jingli's face turned pale with pain.

If the pain wasn't unbearable, you wouldn't have to come to Li Mingqing.

Li Mingqing looked at him with amusement, and said gloatingly, "Hey, isn't this Zhou Zhiqing? You've always been so arrogant, and now you've come to my house. This small temple can't accommodate a big Buddha like you."

Zhou Jingli's back teeth were about to break.

His fingers were connected to his heart and it hurt so much, but he was still acting sarcastic.

If it weren't for the high cost of going to the hospital, he wouldn't have put down his pride and come to see him.

He really thinks he is Hua Tuo.

"Look at my hand. Don't dare bend it. It's swollen like a bun. You're responsible for what you did to it."

"I'm not responsible for this. You were the one who spoke rudely first, so you deserve it. I can't treat your injuries without repaying kindness with kindness. Think carefully and go to the hospital by yourself. Otherwise, just hold on until tomorrow, and you'll be almost healed the day after tomorrow."

After Li Mingqing finished speaking, Sun Jiaxue opened the door and they both went into the house and closed the door.

Zhou Jingli, who was locked outside, kicked the closed wooden door angrily.

I lost control of my strength and almost gave myself a cramp in the leg.

He went back to the Youth League Institute cursing and found Wu Shengli and went to the town clinic with him.

I would rather avoid going to the hospital if I can, mainly because I don’t have the money.

"Brother Mingqing, what's going on with Zhou Zhiqing's hand?"

"When I went to the village office in the afternoon, he went there with a few educated youths. When they were leaving, they were looking for trouble, and his hand became like this."

After hearing this, Sun Jiaxue knew that Zhou Jingli had been beaten.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

"Nothing happened. He's the one who's in trouble."

"I steamed some bean curd buns and they'll be ready to eat soon. Mom and I made them together, otherwise I really couldn't have done it by myself. Zhou Taohua and Zheng Meili came over just now."

"Why are they here together?"

"The Zheng family wants to exchange our soybean seeds. Zhou Taohua came over with a bucket of soybeans."

"So much happened in just a few hours."

The two of them sat there chatting and playing with the children, and their days were very comfortable.

Li Mingqing gently pinched Niuniu's chubby smiling face and said, "Take Niuniu to take a photo in a couple of days. Our daughter has grown up so fast. She has become a big child in just one year."
