Chapter 23

After the three of them unloaded all the medicine from the car, Fu Le invited the two to sit down in the hall. The two, dressed in designer clothes, looked completely out of place next to the black chairs commonly seen in rural areas.

Seeing this, Fu Le found it somewhat amusing, which drew surprised looks from the two boys.

"Drink a cup of honey water to relieve fatigue." All the cups are clean disposable cups.

"Thank you." The two accepted the gift and politely expressed their gratitude.

After taking a sip, Wang Jin smacked his lips and said, "Fu Le, how come your honey water is different from other people's? It tastes great, and it makes my stomach feel very comfortable. I've had this stomach problem for a year, and I usually don't dare to touch honey water. I only drank it because I was thirsty, and it not only doesn't make me feel uncomfortable, but it also makes me feel very comfortable."

Fang Ge looked thoughtfully at the half-full cup of honey water left in his glass, then downed it in one gulp.

"Do you like it? If you do, I'll bring some back for you." Fu Le was unusually generous. After all, given their extraordinary family backgrounds, they helped her carry the dirty cardboard boxes, which showed that they genuinely considered her a friend. She also noticed that they had stood up for her in front of those three boys.

"Is it okay?" Fang Ge spoke first this time, her eyes full of joy, it seemed she really liked it.

“Of course.” Fu Le used small glass jars, each containing one pound of honey, to fill one pound for each person. The honey was mixed with ordinary honey from the market.

"Fu Le, you're still so stingy." Wang Jin pouted. There were clearly two large bottles, but you only gave them two small ones.

Fu Le ignored Wang Jin's gaze as he looked at the large bottle of honey hanging on his window frame. "This honey is very rare. It contains medicinal herbs and is not the ordinary honey you usually see. Moreover, it costs a thousand yuan per catty and has the effects of strengthening the body and boosting energy. I bought it for my parents to nourish their health."

Wang Jin was surprised, "Really?"

"It's boiled. Sit down for a bit, I'll get you some strawberry chunks."

Strawberry chunks? Does that mean strawberries are cut into chunks?

Fu Le brought out a plate of strawberry chunks that had been prepared in advance from the kitchen. She ate all the red ones. These were the bottom parts of the strawberries, with very few red ones, but the taste was only slightly worse than the top part of the strawberry. Compared to the strawberries in the market, they were worlds apart.

"Hey, Fu Le, are all your strawberries the strawberry bottoms? Where are the tips? Did you eat them all? I knew you were a glutton, offering strawberries only the bottoms when you're treating someone to strawberries." Despite saying that, Wang Jin's hands moved quickly, picking up a piece with a toothpick and stuffing it into his mouth.

Fu Le rolled her eyes and placed the overflowing plate on the coffee table. "Eat slowly. This is all there is, no more."

Fang Ge raised his hand to touch his nose, unable to suppress the smile on his lips. "Okay, thank you."

Wang Jin, meanwhile, was already stunned by the sweet and juicy strawberry butt in his mouth. "Wow, delicious!! Fu Le, where did you get these strawberries? They taste amazing!! Wow, delicious!!"

Fang Ge took a bite and was also surprised by the taste, exclaiming, "It tastes really good!"

Fu Le watched the two boys working hard and couldn't help but laugh, "If you like it, I'll pack a plate for each of you when you leave later."

“Okay, okay…” Wang Jin was very happy and nodded repeatedly. Fang Ge didn’t say anything, but his eyes were sparkling as he looked at Fu Le.

Fu Le: ...

Two foodies!

An hour later, when the two left, each had two plastic bags containing honey and strawberry butts.

...

After seeing the two off, Fu Le put away all the medicine and replaced everything in the box with disposable milk cups from his own storage container.

"Lele, your classmate is really kind, bringing you so many cups. I thought they were medicine at first," said Aunt Fu with a smile, seeing so many medicine boxes on one wall of the storage room.

"Yes, I gave them two pounds of honey."

"Hey, friends, sharing helps deepen relationships." Aunt Fu said as she chopped vegetables, occasionally picking a strawberry from the table and popping it into her mouth.

Her daughter got some strawberries from somewhere, and they were really delicious. Lately, with milk and special drinks, neither she nor Lao Fu wanted to drink water anymore, complaining that it was tasteless. She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but her body definitely didn't feel as heavy as before.

In the opulent villa lobby, a man carrying a briefcase entered, looking exhausted and irritable.

Wang Jin threw away the game controller in his hand and said, "Dad, you're back." He got up and made his father a cup of honey water.

The man took it casually, momentarily surprised that his chubby son was being so diligent and considerate today. He downed it in one gulp and let out a satisfied burp. "Is it honey water?" His stomach, full of alcohol, was throbbing with discomfort. The honey water helped to dissipate some of the alcohol fumes, and the burning sensation in his stomach subsided considerably.

"Yeah, I got it from my classmate. It tastes pretty good, but that brat is stingy. She only gave me a pound, and Fangge got a pound too." With that, she went back to the sofa to play games.

"From your class?" He could tell his son really liked the girl, and the comfort in his stomach made Wang Dong unusually interested in chatting with his son for a few minutes.

"No, she's from Class 1, Grade 11. I just met her; I bought braised meat from her. That meat you guys were praising last time was from her, and those milk tablets—didn't I share some with you?"

Hearing that these all belonged to that girl, Wang Dong was surprised. "That Fu Le?"

"yes."

"The young lady is quite young, but she knows how to do business." Although it's a bit expensive, the products are indeed good. The braised meat is delicious, and the milk tablets are also good. "Go ask her to buy some more of those milk tablets. I'll give them away as gifts. Son, make me another cup of honey water."

"No way, Dad, I was just showing off this honey to you, I didn't really want it for you. I don't even have much of it myself." Wang Jin raised his head, very reluctant to part with it. This honey water was really delicious, a little addictive.

"You brat!! If you don't go for it, don't ask me to make up your allowance this month."

"No, Dad, it's just honey water. I'll make it for you. Don't say anything hurtful and ruin the family harmony." She jumped up from the sofa and quickly made honey water for her father.

...

Jia Shi Hao Ting Hotel, VIP private room.

As soon as Lao Fu pushed the door open, someone inside stood up.

"Old Fu, you're here! Please, have a seat. It's so hard to get a seat these days. We haven't been able to get together for a drink since we left the army. You really know how to avoid me! I didn't expect you to be staying in your hometown. I should have come to your house to find you. I heard you were doing really well in the South Island. When did you come back?" The middle-aged man in the executive jacket stood up with a smile and invited Old Fu to sit down. His attitude was warm and natural, showing no signs of awkwardness, as if they had never lost touch.

While Lao Fu joined in the banter, he also took a look at the two reserved men and women sitting opposite him. Judging from their expressions and actions, he could roughly guess that they were the family members of the girl who had harassed his daughter.

"Old Jiang, I thought it was just the two of us having a drink. What are you doing?" Old Fu sat down, a half-smile on his face. Everything else was easy to talk about, but when it came to his daughter, things weren't so simple.

Jiang Tong exclaimed, seemingly not finding anything wrong with Lao Fu's actions, and whispered in Lao Fu's ear, "Old squad leader, I'm just being put on a pedestal. Several influential people have come looking for me, and I've been forced into this situation. They all know that I have some connections with you. Why don't you give me some face and let this matter drop?"

Old Fu picked up his cup, took a sip, and scoffed coldly, "Jiang Tong, I didn't realize that your official conduct has become increasingly upright over the years, huh? You've even started doing this kind of thing with me, Old Fu. You know exactly what I hate and despise the most. So, this isn't your own kid, and you don't care about him?"

Jiang Tong's face stiffened when his face was exposed like that. It had been too long since anyone had been so blunt with him, slapping him hard in the face.

"Old Fu, I believe everyone knows the truth about your case. It wasn't you who was targeted, and your wound is almost healed. Your daughter isn't seriously injured either. So many people have tried to reconcile us. It's understandable that you're angry, but it hasn't caused any major consequences. Why are you so stubborn? Besides, that child knows she was wrong and cries in there every day. She's not even an adult yet. Just treat her like a child who doesn't understand and let her go. Don't ruin her life. If you ask me, just give her some more money and let it go. There's no need for everyone to make things too ugly. Otherwise, it might cause trouble for your brothers too. What do you say?" Jiang Tong smiled, but his eyes flashed with cold light.

Old Fu ignored him and looked at the couple opposite him.

This is because his son is capable and won. But what if the other side succeeded? An apology, some compensation, or a stint in jail—can his son Lele's life ever be the same again? No! So, they should all die!!

"You two bastards, you're stuck in this jail. If you don't believe me, then bring it on. Let's see if you can turn this Lion City upside down." With that, Old Fu smashed his wine glass on the table, shards of glass flying everywhere. The woman opposite him screamed in fright, while Jiang Tong beside him had a gloomy expression.

"I didn't realize you were so tough. Fine, Old Fu, you just wait!" Feng Si stood up and confronted Old Fu head-on.

"Like father, like son," Old Fu sneered, getting up to leave.

"Old Fu! Are you not giving me any face at all?" Jiang Tong also stood up, his chubby, smiling face flushed red, showing that he was really angry.

"Old Jiang, take it easy, don't get yourself into trouble." After saying that, Old Fu strode away.

From the day that bastard touched his girl, he had no intention of letting it go easily. What's a jail time? Humph! Did he really think that just because he, Old Fu, wasn't in the system, he was a toothless tiger?

Inside the door, the table and plates were shattered on the floor, making a loud noise. However, the waiters outside did not dare to take a step closer. Instead, they looked at each other and then left the area of ​​the accident with apprehension.

As for Old Fu, who left with a cold face, they didn't dare to look at him any longer.

Fu Le, of course, had no idea that Old Fu had such a wild and arrogant side. At this moment, she was riding her bicycle around the county town, looking for a martial arts school to learn some kung fu.

It's just too dangerous outside, and she lacks the fighting skills.

When she inadvertently wandered into town, she saw that the hair salon in front of her was in complete chaos, surrounded by crowds of people who were thoroughly enjoying the spectacle, their excitement evident on their faces.

"Xiao Deshui, you damn bastard!! How shameless you are! You're so indiscriminate in your eating, you'll swallow anything dirty!! Give me back my money!! Chen Erya, I'll curse your ancestors!! Aren't you afraid people will talk behind your back..." A sharp, furious female voice pierced the eardrums, every word clearly audible, and the crowd began to murmur among themselves.

It turns out that the man surnamed Xiao had an affair with a woman working at a hair salon, gave her money, and was then caught by the wife.

What a family farce...

This name sounds familiar... Xiao Deshui, Xiao Deshui...

Fu Le, with his sharp eyes, spotted a familiar figure in the crowd. Holy crap! It's the madam!

Looking at the excited man and woman fighting in front of him, it's not hard to guess that they are his parents. And then, looking at the name of the hair salon, oh, that matches up.

What happened in my senior year of high school in my past life happened earlier in this life.

So, history can be changed?

Then this kid will probably be on leave for a long time. Could it be that after she mentioned it last time, he proactively leaked the news to his own mother? Otherwise, how could it have happened so quickly? It hasn't been that long.

This happened early in his life, so hopefully this kid can get into a good school and won't have to repeat a year.

Fu Le changed direction and rode away. Xiao Sen, who was at the center of the incident, turned around to leave after achieving his goal. When he saw Fu Le's back, his face stiffened, and a look of embarrassment and disgrace flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth, withdrew from the crowd, and walked in another direction.

Fu Le still planned to go find Lao Fu. As a retired veteran, even if Lao Fu had been retired for a long time, he would still know the basic training methods. Those things were ingrained in his soul, so how could he forget them?

I went to the teahouse where Lao Fu usually stayed, but surprisingly I couldn't find him.

Then I went to Aunt Fu's place. "Your dad left today and hasn't come over. He didn't even come for lunch. Why are you looking for him?"

"I want to learn boxing from my dad." Fu Le parked the car and helped his mother collect the money.

"Oh, little girl, you want to learn boxing? Can you endure the hardships of learning boxing?" a middle-aged woman buying groceries joked.

"It's nothing to suffer a little when you're protecting your own things," Fu Le replied with a grin.

"Hey boss, your girl is pretty good."

"Hey, this girl only has enthusiasm for everything for three days, then she quits. Just ignore her." Fu's mother was too lazy to pay attention to Fu Le's words. This little girl has built up a lot of muscles. How will she get married? Besides, she can't handle that kind of hardship.

After having fried rice with eggs at Aunt Fu's place, Fu Le strolled around the hardware store and bought fifteen machetes, ten cleavers, and three chainsaws. If she didn't have any weapons, she'd use chainsaws. In case she went to the 1938 world and encountered Japanese devils without guns, she'd be willing to fight them.

"Shuttle, tell me, how can I make a lot of money?"

silence……

"How am I supposed to get supplies if I don't have money? I'm so worried." Fu Le lay on the sofa, his mind filled with nothing but money, money, money.

"The herb 'Jingjingcao' can repair skin, remove acne, scars, and blemishes, and has excellent skin-rejuvenating effects. No matter the dimension, women's money is always the easiest to earn."

Fu Le sat up abruptly. Oh, right!

"But the effects of the Qingjing Grass are too strong; I'll be sliced ​​up." This is also why Fu Le dares not think about it.

'The components of *Emerald Green Grass* are the same as those of aloe vera on Earth; one is crudely made, the other is exquisitely crafted. Figure out how to do it yourself.'

"Holy crap, the shuttle, you're awesome!!!"

Shuttle: ...
