The other two, one of whom has a stepmother, and with a stepmother comes a stepfather.
The stepmother wanted to find a wife for her biological son, but said she didn't have enough money. This was actually instigating his dim-witted father to sell him off.
This boy's original name was Zhang Jinlai. After being bought by Huang, he immediately asked Huang to change his surname. He did this not for any other reason than to sever all ties with his biological father.
Alright, Huang was a straightforward person, "Then let's call him Zhao Xinsheng."
Zhao Xinsheng eats a lot, is strong, and is an excellent worker.
The remaining one, whose original name was Lü Feng, was a servant in someone else's household. He was sold off after being falsely accused of theft.
After learning about everyone's basic information, Huang then used a combination of kindness and severity to give a lecture to the nine people she had brought back that day.
Zhao Qingyan had just returned from feeding the chicks in the mountains.
Seeing so many people in the living room, he calmly walked in.
"My dear girl, you're back." Madam Huang waved to Zhao Qingyan.
"Let me introduce you. This is the Third Miss. From now on, in all matters concerning the family, if I am not present, we will listen to the Third Miss."
Everyone greeted, "Greetings, Third Miss."
After Huang gave Zhao Qingyan a brief introduction to the special skills of these individuals and the work they would be responsible for upon their return, Zhao Qingyan was delighted. Looking at these skilled individuals in front of her, the corners of her mouth turned up.
"Since part of your job is to be responsible for the safety of Qingshan Xiaozhu, let's have a friendly competition and I'll see what you're capable of."
The seven men dared not accept this offer and looked to Huang for help.
"Hey, what's there to be afraid of? If the Third Miss says she wants to spar with you, then she means she wants to spar with you. Don't hold back, go ahead and fight. That way, this old woman will know what's going on."
Mrs. Huang smiled and didn't take it seriously at all.
The cook, nicknamed Pan Di, started thinking.
"They really are country bumpkins, neither master nor servant, fighting with their young lady and servants, aren't they afraid of being ridiculed?"
The cook named Ruyue was in high spirits.
"Wow, even the old lady said she wouldn't hold back. The third young lady must be quite formidable. I really want to go out and see what's going on."
After speaking to the seven people, Madam Huang glanced back at the two cooks and, seeing their expressions, understood what was going on.
It seems this guy named Pandi has some ulterior motives.
Since I've already bought it, I'll use it for now. If it doesn't behave properly, I can always resell it later.
Zhao Qingyan walked into the courtyard with the seven people.
The Zhao family's new house is designed in a wraparound style, with Huang's house in the very center, which is also the largest, since the living room is downstairs where the whole family eats, chats, or holds meetings.
There is a large open space in front of the main house, paved with bluestone, which looks very clean and tidy.
Zhao Qingyan walked to the middle and stopped. "Are you going up one by one or all at once?"
Upon seeing this formation, the seven men...
"Third Miss, you mustn't. Fists and kicks have no eyes. If you get hurt, it will be our fault."
"It was Haifeng, the former head of the escort agency, who said."
Zhao Qingyan smiled faintly.
"Since I dare to say this, I must have some skills. In that case, let's start with you, one by one, without holding back."
I want to see your full potential.
Hai Feng had no choice but to step forward, but looking at Zhao Qingyan, a delicate young girl, he couldn't bring himself to raise his hand.
Zhao Qingyan saw through Haifeng's intentions and had no choice but to take action first.
"Take this!" A punch was aimed straight at Haifeng's waist and abdomen.
It wasn't that Zhao Qingyan didn't want to slap the other person in the face, but rather that she wasn't tall enough yet, especially since Hai Feng was already quite tall and strong.
If anyone wants to embarrass Zhao Qingyan, they'll have to jump up and down. Zhao Qingyan would never do something so shameful.
Zhao Qingyan moved quickly, but Hai Feng was even faster, quickly dodging to the side.
Zhao Qingyan was quite satisfied with the speed of the sea breeze.
Immediately following was a sweeping leg kick, fast and powerful. Hai Feng was a little flustered in dodging, not expecting that the Third Miss would come up with another move after the first one failed.
So he began to seriously fight Zhao Qingyan.
Initially, he mainly focused on dodging, never daring to engage in direct combat, fearing he might injure Zhao Qingyan.
After a few moves, he realized that if he didn't go all out, the fight could go on indefinitely.
Especially now that he's so hungry. Where would he get the energy to play with the little girl?
Seeing Zhao Qingyan throw another punch, Haifeng reached out to catch it.
I was wondering how much power a little girl's fist could have.
He caught the punch, but was sent flying backward.
Because he couldn't fly backward with the help of his strength, he felt that his hand would be ruined.
The six people watching from behind never expected that Hai Feng, such a strong man, could be knocked away by a seemingly frail little girl.
This is such a surprise.
Zhao Qingyan stopped.
"How are you? Are you hurt? If you are hurt, you need to see a doctor right away."
With his brother's help, Hai Feng stood up, shook his hands, and...
"Thank you for your leniency, Miss. This hand should still be usable, it's just a bit numb."
"Okay, I got it. If you feel unwell, go to the kitchen and get some ice to apply later."
You lot, you'd better not try to compete with me. Most people can't handle my strength.
Why don't you all have a free-for-all? Just make sure it's over, and I'll get a general idea of your fighting abilities after I see it.
Sea breeze, you just stand aside and watch. Okay, let's begin.
After Zhao Qingyan gave the order, everyone retreated to the eaves to watch the excitement.
Mrs. Huang took her granddaughter's hand, and the two of them watched the excitement together.
Ruyue, standing to the side, looked at Zhao Qingyan as if she had found a treasure.
"Miss is really amazing."
Thinking back to the young lady they used to serve, if she had even a fraction of that lady's abilities, she wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state, and even the servants who served her would have suffered along with her.
Thinking of this, Ruyue lowered her head sadly.
After witnessing the fight between Zhao Qingyan and Haifeng, Pan Di's contempt for the Zhao family grew even stronger.
"Country bumpkin, you really can't tell right from wrong. They were clearly just letting you win, but you still have the nerve to think you're so good at kung fu."
They really lack education; the countryside is just the countryside.
Why was I so slow to back down today? Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to this countryside to be a cook. What good food could a farmhouse possibly have?
Back when I was in the prefect's residence, I could eat whatever I wanted.
What could possibly be here? Maybe it's just one person eating nothing but vegetables and radishes for every meal – utterly unlucky.
Pan Di thought that Huang Shi and Zhao Qingyan were both country folk and wouldn't have much thought or schemes. He couldn't control his expression and his mouth twisted into a disdainful look.
The grandfather and grandson were busy observing the battle.
But that doesn’t mean the grandmother and grandson couldn’t notice what was happening around them. Zhao Qingyan suddenly turned her head and saw the disdain on Pan Di’s face that he hadn’t had time to hide.
