Yang Zhaozhao was afraid that Li Lihua and the others would run into hooligans again, so he had no choice but to let them go.

Who knew that as soon as he let go of Li Lihua, she raised her hand to slap herself, but Yang Zhaozhao grabbed her wrist and twisted it hard.

Li Lihua gasped in pain: "Let go."

"I gave you face, and you hit me?" Yang Zhaozhao said viciously.

Li Lihua was unconvinced: "If it weren't for you, we would have been bullied. You ruined my Qingqi."

Yang Zhaozhao retorted, "You asked for it. Who made you hurt others first? If you want to die, just tell me. I don't mind granting your wish."

Faced with the ferocious Yang Zhaozhao, Li Lihua immediately backed down. She looked at Yang Zhaozhao angrily but dared not say a word. Together with Zhao Wenwen, she took out her anger on the old bachelor.

The old bachelor was beaten so hard that he screamed and almost lost his life, and his legs were broken.

Li Lihua warned Yang Zhaozhao: "Don't tell anyone about what happened today, or I'll never let you go."

After all, they almost suffered a loss. If it got out, they would become a laughing stock and affect their reputation. They would rather suffer this loss in silence.

Besides, the old bachelor didn't do anything except touching them a few times. As long as they didn't really suffer any loss, he didn't want to make a big deal out of it in order to preserve his reputation.

Yang Zhaozhao was not threatened: "It depends on your performance. This is the last time, Li Lihua. If you cause trouble to me again, you won't be as lucky as today."

"If you don't want to die in my hands, you'd better restrain yourself."

Li Lihua bit her lip and clenched her fist as she watched Yang Zhaozhao leave arrogantly.

When he returned to Li Yiling, he had already dug out a bunch of ginseng, with all the roots dug out. Each one was very beautiful. This was a ginseng that could be sold for a lot of money if well preserved.

Li Yiling wrapped it in moss and went back to find professionals to process it. It turned out to be a very valuable Chinese ginseng, the kind that is priceless.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Yang Zhaozhao took out the lunch box, which contained rice balls that Yang Zhaozhao had made by hand, with meat floss, seaweed and other side dishes. It tasted really good.

Yang Zhaozhao made special preparations for the picnic in the mountains.

Li Yili took a bite and squinted his eyes in enjoyment: "Delicious!"

Yang Zhaozhao smiled when she was praised, and she also took a rice ball to eat. Fearing that the taste was not good enough, she also brought some pickled mustard greens.

The two of them sat on the rocks, eating rice balls and drinking water. They actually found it quite interesting and their appetites improved a lot.

After eating and drinking, they rested for a while and continued to look for mountain products in the mountains.

There are quite a few hazel mushrooms, small yellow mushrooms, and matsutake mushrooms.

When they came down the mountain at around three or four in the afternoon, they returned with a full load.

The other educated youth also picked up a lot, but none of them could compare to Yang Zhaozhao. She picked up all good things. Just take that ginseng as an example, it was a really good thing.

Grandpa Wang looked at the intact ginseng and said that Yang Zhaozhao was lucky. If she kept it well, it would surely sell for a lot of money.

In the following days, there were still a lot of mountain products. Many people went into the mountains every day, picked up a lot of mountain products, packed them up and sold them in the city. The price was quite good.

Yang Zhaozhao kept the food for himself and also collected some good things.

For example, she buys high-quality ginseng, whether it is forest ginseng or other ginseng, as long as the price is right.

After Li Lihua found out, she reported Yang Zhaozhao.

Someone came to my house and said, "I heard you harvested a lot of ginseng?"

"Who told you that?" Yang Zhaozhao had already placed the ginseng in a space where no one could find it.

"It doesn't matter who told you this, just tell me whether it's true or not?" The man said aggressively.

Yang Zhaozhao smiled and said, "No."

"You're lying. Let me tell you, the things in the back mountain belong to the country. Don't think you can own them. You can eat them yourself, but if you buy them, that's speculation!"

Yang Zhaozhao didn't expect that she could be charged with speculation and profiteering at this time.

"If the leaders don't believe me, they can search the house. They just came to visit my family. Don't they allow this kid to visit me?"

The people in the police station were no pushovers. They used chicken as bait and said, "Someone reported you guys for gathering and causing trouble. If you get caught with more than four people, follow me to the police station for a talk."

"Let's just study. The college entrance exam is coming soon. Can't we review together?" Yang Zhaozhao knew that someone must be jealous of their review achievements.

"I can't study at home, I have to come to your place?" The staff ordered, "From today on, no outsiders are allowed in your house."

Yang Zhaozhao laughed angrily: "They are not outsiders, they are my brothers. We are all fellow farmers, how can they be outsiders?"

They really thought Yang Zhaozhao was easy to bully. When Yang Zhaozhao tried to reason with them, he was afraid they would not be able to handle it: "I just want to ask, which law says that you are not allowed to associate with brothers?"

"Or are you practicing dictatorship?"

As soon as these words came out, they backed down.

I knew Li Lihua’s cigarettes were not good to smoke.

Under Yang Zhaozhao's aggressive gaze, the staff left in disgrace, fearing that Yang Zhaozhao would label them as leftists.

Li Lihua looked at Yang Zhaozhao, who was doing what she wanted, and cursed angrily: "Cigarettes are given away, but they are a bunch of freeloaders. They are useless!"

Yang Zhaozhao found out who had reported the incident after a little inquiry. She found Li Lihua while working in the fields.

Seeing Yang Zhaozhao approaching, Li Lihua, feeling guilty, turned and ran. Yang Zhaozhao threw a clod of mud at her and knocked her to the ground. He grabbed her hair and warned her, "You like to report people so much. It seems you have a lot of free words. How about I teach you how to control your mouth?"

After saying that, he slapped Li Lihua on the mouth without mercy.

Pa pa pa.

After being slapped more than a dozen times, Li Lihua's beautiful mouth became like a sausage mouth, red, swollen, and burning. She couldn't see anyone at all and couldn't even eat corn steamed buns.

Zhao Wenwen cooked some porridge for Li Lihua. Looking at the miserable Li Lihua, Zhao Wenwen was secretly delighted and thought with glee that Li Lihua was arrogant and domineering, but she was beaten so hard that she dared not even fart.

Zhao Wenwen was not happy to see Li Lihua suffer.

If there were any other choice, Zhao Wenwen would not want to see Li Lihua's lackeyry. It was because she was poor and didn't have a father who was a leader!

Therefore, even if Zhao Wenwen had to give up her dignity and backbone, she would still make a name for herself and get into college. She didn't want her children to be looked down upon like herself.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wenwen reviewed another book in the evening. In the end, Lin Chao thought it was a waste of fuel and told her to go to bed early and study again the next day.

Yang Zhaozhao finished a test paper and he and Li Yiling corrected each other's papers.

To protect their eyes, two candles were lit, as the farm had no electricity at that time.

There is not enough electricity, and only people in cities can afford it.

In the countryside, people use kerosene lamps or candles. The poorer ones are reluctant to use kerosene lamps for fear of wasting money.

"That's amazing, Li Yiling. You're really a top student. You got all the answers right."

Yang Zhaozhao scored 10 points.

Li Yiling's mouth curled up when he was praised, and he gave Yang Zhaozhao a score of 98.

"You got one of the multiple-choice questions wrong." Li Yiling didn't expect Yang Zhaozhao's grades to improve so quickly. She had made great progress. If she hadn't been careless, she would have gotten full marks.

"Which question?" Yang Zhaozhao was curious.

When she came closer, she brought with her a hint of fresh fragrance from the bath, which made Li Yiling almost dizzy and his ears felt hot.

"I clearly figured out the answer to this question, so how come I chose the wrong answer?" Yang Zhaozhao regretted it. She was still careless and secretly vowed to be cautious and careful during the exam.

Li Yiling looked at the face so close to him, his breath paused, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind. He couldn't help but move closer to her and wanted to kiss her tender face.

Just when he was about to succeed, the curtain was opened and Xiao Cui said sleepily: "Sister Zhao Zhao, aren't you guys going to sleep yet?"

Li Yiling: "......"
