When Li Mingqing passed by the post office, he went in and called Niu Niu.

He called the village directly.

Li Mingfu, who was at the village office, was startled by the ringing of the phone. Although the village had installed telephones for two or three months, it had never rung.

Li Mingfu picked up the phone cautiously.

"Hello, this is Lijia Brigade, Lijia Village."

Li Mingqing on the other end of the phone said, "Mingfu, it's me, Li Mingqing."

"Oh, Mingqing, when will you come back to the village? The villagers miss you so much."

"I'm really too busy to go back. If I go back, it'll be during the New Year. Have Niuniu and the other kids returned to the village?"

Li Mingfu paused when he heard this.

The villagers found out about the stupid thing Xu Yaozu did yesterday and he was beaten black and blue. He won’t be able to get out of bed for the next three or four days.

Fortunately, Niu Niu knows some kung fu, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

He was hesitating whether to tell Li Mingqing about this.

Yesterday, Niu Niu specifically told him not to let the Li family elder couple and their family members know about it, for fear that the family members would worry because of the long journey.

"In the village, they said they came back the day after returning from the capital. Xiaohong and the other kids have changed significantly since going to the big city, and they're clearly different from the village kids. But then again, you Li kids have been as fashionable as the village kids since you were little, and the changes are even more obvious after being away for half a year."

"Mingfu, come visit the capital sometime, I'll treat you. By the way, how are the fruit trees and greenhouse doing?"

"Everything is fine. The fruit trees are growing well. We are just waiting for a big harvest next year." Li Mingfu said gratefully.

Li Mingqing reminded: "That's good. If you have any problems, go to the county to find Minister Zheng Qiangchao."

"Mingqing, wait a moment. I just asked Xiang Gong to go call Niuniu. She should be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Niu Niu ran in happily.

"Uncle, is that my dad?"

Li Mingfu smiled and handed her the phone: "You two can chat."

"Dad, why did you suddenly think of calling me? Where's Mom?"

"Your mother is at work. I'll have her call you back this afternoon. What about your two younger brothers?"

Niuniu smiled and said, "The letter I wrote to Mom will be here soon, so there's no need to call. Xiaohong, Xiaozhe, and Big Brother have gone up the mountain. They've just been gone for about half an hour."

"Is everything okay in the village? You, a little girl, must be careful."

"Okay, my skills are extraordinary, and I have brothers and sisters to accompany me, so you can rest assured," Niu Niu said sweetly.

As for Xu Yaozu's outrageous behavior, they didn't need to worry about it.

I'll just tell this as a joke when she returns to the capital. It's not a big deal in her opinion anyway.

Old Li’s homestead.

The eldest girl worriedly asked, "Will the Xu family incident leave a psychological shadow on my younger sister?"

"Why don't we go give Xu Yaozu a good beating to vent my sister's anger? He's going too far. He bullied my sister while we were away."

Xiaohong said angrily, and Xiaozhe nodded in agreement.

The two brothers picked up the sticks by the wall and went to Old Xu's house.

Xiangdong quickly stopped him and said, "Xu Yaozu will be beaten so badly by my little sister that he won't be able to get out of bed for at least three or four days. If you really want to beat him up, at least wait until he gets out of bed."

Niu Niu studied medicine and knew how to avoid vital points, targeting vulnerable but non-fatal areas.

If Xiaohong and Xiaozhe act rashly without considering the severity of the situation and someone gets killed, it will be the end of them.

Si Niu sat there chewing a tomato and said slowly, "Don't worry, I won't be traumatized by anyone. My uncle taught me martial arts and medical skills. I don't think even my elder brother can be my opponent."

Erniu frowned and said, "We are wrong in this matter. We must find someone to accompany my little sister when she goes out in the future."

"Yes, fortunately nothing happened. If something really happened, how would I explain it to my uncle, aunt, grandparents, and me? I was too careless," Xiangnan reflected.

When Niu Niu came back from the village office after hanging up the phone with Li Mingqing, she saw that all her brothers and sisters were filled with hatred and resentment.

"Sister, brother, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, just a quick chat. Little sister, if you have anything to say, please call us, don't keep it to yourself."

Niuniu smiled and said, "It's nothing. Don't take what happened yesterday to heart. Oh, and don't tell my parents."

"Alas, I can hide it on the first day, but not on the second."

"Brother, I'll talk to them in person when I get back, so don't worry."

After hearing what she said, no one said anything more.

Xiaohong and Xiaozhe went out and whispered, "Let's sneak out later."

The two wanted to cause some trouble for the Xu family.

Just then Xu Dagou and Wang Dahua came over and handed them a small stack of money with shame on their faces.

"I'm here to apologize on behalf of my child who went astray. All the mistakes were Yaozu's fault. It's the Xu family who let you down. I gave Yaozu another good lesson when he returned home. There won't be a next time."

Xiaohong said dissatisfiedly: "That won't do. My sister is scared."

Xu Dagou and Wang Dahua were so embarrassed that they didn't know what to say.

Although his son was beaten beyond recognition, it was indeed Yaozu's fault. Because of this incident, all the villagers sneered at him and pointed fingers at him.

Li Mingqing is the benefactor of the whole village, so he will definitely be criticized for this incident.

Xu Dagou is so disappointed with Xu Yaozu that he wants to kick him out of the house, but he is his biological son after all. Even if he could be cruel enough, Xu Yaozu would not agree. He might even go crazy and burn down the house.

Niu Niu, who was in the house, heard the noise and came out.

"Uncle, aunt, take this money back. Tell Xu Yaozu that if he dares to do this again, he'll be prepared to be bedridden for the rest of his life."
