Qian Wang was nineteen and Qian Ming was sixteen. At that age, Qiu Xu was no match for them.
The ground next to them was covered with spilled minced meat soup, and the familiar wooden bowl was upside down on the ground.
Qiu Xiaobao laughed wildly, "Qiu Xu, is that all you've got? You dare to fight back? A bastard like you shouldn't have been born... Grandma said that you three are worthless lives, and she'll sell you sooner or later to pay for my and Fourth Uncle's education."
Qiu Yan's anger flared up. She ran a few steps, picked up the pebbles on the ground, and threw them straight ahead.
The pebble seemed to have eyes, and it whizzed towards the back of Qiu Xiaobao's head.
With a thud, blood instantly gushed from the back of Qiu Xiaobao's head. The other two immediately stopped and turned around.
"Ah..." Qiu Xiaobao cried out in pain, turned his head to look at the person who came, and saw that it was Qiu Yan. Ignoring the pain, he pounced on Qiu Yan and brandished the stick, "You shameless bitch, don't think you can get away with anything just because you left the Qiu family. My father said that he will deal with you sooner or later!"
Qiu Xiaobao had heard this kind of talk many times at home.
Qiu Yan reached forward with one hand, forcefully lifted Qiu Xiaobao, and threw her to the ground. Qiu Xiaobao cried even louder: "Cousin, hit her, beat her to death..."
Qian Wang and Qian Ming looked at Qiu Yan with unfriendly expressions. Qian Ming quickly helped Qiu Xiaobao up, and then his face lit up with joy.
“Brother, isn’t Mom arranging a marriage for you? This girl is quite pretty. We should keep the good stuff in the family, so we should probably waive the dowry.”
Qian Wang licked his lips, his expression revealing a lewd look. He used to look down on Qiu Yan, but now that he saw her, he found her to be even more beautiful than before.
I must say, my brother's suggestion is actually quite good. "Qiu Yan, as long as you agree to marry me, I'll let your brother go."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Xu, enduring his own pain, stood up and declared, "Anyone who dares to touch my sister, I'll fight them to the death!"
Qiu Yan then saw her brother's face clearly. His cheeks were bruised and purple, his lips were swollen from being hit, and there were bits of meat scraps on half of his face and neck, which were red from being scalded by the meat soup.
"Haha..." Apart from Qiu Xiaobao, whose face was full of pain, Qian Wang and Qian Ming looked at Qiu Xu with contempt, and then burst into laughter.
Qiu Xiaobao, still consumed by thoughts of revenge after being beaten, shouted, "Cousins, what are you standing there for? Beat them up! Kill them!"
"You little brat, you've probably forgotten the beating you just got. It's your sister's honor to have taken a liking to me."
As Qian Wang spoke, he picked up a stick and started hitting Qiu Xu.
Qiu Yan dodged in front of Qiu Xu, grabbed the wooden stick with one hand, and used Qian Wang's momentum to slam him to the ground.
The attack was too fast, and Qian Wang was instantly stunned. He was extremely annoyed, realizing he had underestimated his opponent.
Seeing Qian Wang being beaten, Qian Ming behind him swung his wooden stick forcefully at Qiu Yan's back.
"Sister, be careful!" Qiu Xu shouted anxiously.
Before he could help, Qiu Yan rolled forward, sprang up, turned around, and delivered a powerful side kick to Qian Ming's chest.
Qian Ming fell backward instantly, unable to get up for a long time due to the pain.
The situation took a sudden turn; Qiu Xiaobao was startled by Qiu Yan's fierce appearance, and his face turned pale instantly.
Things shouldn't have turned out this way; it should have been Qiu Yan and Qiu Xu who were beaten.
His body trembled, and just as he was about to run away, Qiu Yan tripped him and he fell to the ground.
"Ah Xu!" Qiu Yan looked at Qiu Xu.
Qiu Xu felt ashamed under Qiu Yan's gaze, and he lowered his head, saying, "Sister, I'm fine."
"You're in this state, and you still say you're fine." Qiu Yan picked up the fallen wooden stick and handed it to her younger brother. "Hit back at them for how they just hit you!"
Qian Wang and Qian Ming finally got to their feet, their eyes blazing with anger. "You brat, you think you're so tough? If we don't teach you a lesson today, you'll never know your place!"
As the two were talking, they lunged at Qiu Yan again, but before they could even get close, Qiu Yan delivered two consecutive side kicks. Before they could even see her movements, they crashed to the ground with two thuds, simultaneously groaning in pain, "Ah...it hurts...you brat..."
Qiu Xiaobao was terrified, and tears streamed down her face. "Qiu Xu, you dare hit me? I'll tell the master!"
He tried to escape, but this time, Qiu Yan struck him hard, sending him crashing against the earthen wall beside him with a thud.
Then came a sharp wail, "It hurts...it hurts so much..."
When Qiu Xu heard the word "sir," he hesitated for a moment. His sister worked hard to earn money; if he were to be turned away by the "sir"...
"Just go ahead and sue, Qiu Xiaobao. Don't you know who's right and who's wrong in this matter?" Qiu Yan's words made Qiu Xu no longer hesitate.
He did nothing wrong, and he was not afraid even if his master found out.
Seeing his sister's determined gaze, Qiu Xu swung the stick and struck Qiu Xiaobao hard on the buttocks, letting him taste the pain of being hit with a board.
If the injury is severed elsewhere, it could lead to legal trouble.
Then they took turns doing it.
Qian Wang and his brothers, along with Qiu Xiaobao, felt a burning pain in their buttocks and immediately cried out in pain.
They wanted to escape, but with Qiu Yan around, could they really get away?
Every time Qiu Xu hit someone, the person being hit would cry out in pain, but no matter what, they couldn't get up.
"Ah Xu, use a little more force!" Qiu Yan's eyes were cold as she looked at the scene before her with a smirk.
Qiu Xu nodded, and increased the already considerable force even more.
The three men let out a series of painful cries, attracting many onlookers from the villagers.
Some stepped forward to mediate, some waved and cheered, while others ignored them and simply watched the show.
Qiu Xu's rare display of assertiveness was quite unusual in the eyes of the villagers.
Qiu Yan only felt relieved when Qiu Xiaobao and the other two were covered in blood and unable to get up.
Today's events have taught my younger brother a lesson.
Furthermore, those people will probably not dare to bully their younger brother again in the future.
When Qiu Ling'er got home, she saw that her brother was injured and her eyes were red. She quickly served him a big bowl of rice.
Qiu Yan brought Old Zhao another bowl of minced meat soup.
After the meal, she boiled an egg to help reduce her brother's swelling.
Because of what had just happened, Qiu Xu was distracted and barely ate any food.
"Why are you so powerful now, sister?" Your skills are not something that can be acquired through training alone.
"Uh..." Even injured, this younger brother couldn't resist his mischievous thoughts. "He figured it out himself... Ah Xu, I want to find you a master to teach you martial arts. Do you want to become stronger?"
Qiu Xu suddenly looked up at his sister, unable to hide his excitement, "I want to!"
But a moment later, he looked dejected and said, "My sister works so hard to earn money, how can she afford to send me to the martial arts school?"
“It’s not a martial arts school.” How can an ordinary martial arts school compare to Uncle Li?
What is that?
Qiu Yan turned her head and glanced in the direction of the next room, and Qiu Xu instantly understood.
However, he felt a little uneasy. "Will he agree?"
How do you know it's impossible if you don't try?
