Chapter 114: Beating
The stone paperweight is quite heavy, and you can imagine the pain it would cause when it hits your hand with force.
When a horrific cry of pain was heard, Konjac and Aunt Qin, who heard the sound and went out to see what was going on, covered their ears.
Wangcai also crouched there, tentatively moving his front paws a few times before retracting them. His animal instincts suggested that this was the perfect time to stay put.
The man covered his painful hand and grimaced. When he recovered a little, he started to curse: "Damn it, you stinky bitch dare to hit me, I'll kill you."
In fact, although she said those words to Aunt Li this morning, Cui Qingyi was still angry about the unexpected disaster that Wangcai had suffered.
Hearing the man's words, Cui Qingyi didn't get angry but laughed instead. She said that God must have been kind to her. Now, knowing that she was in a bad mood and afraid that she would get sick, he sent someone to let her vent her anger.
Although Cui Qingyi had some skills, she did not think she could be a match for the angry man in a head-on confrontation. She picked up the stick used to push the door and shouted "Wangcai".
When Wangcai received the order, a dark figure suddenly rushed out. Wangcai already felt very guilty for not watching the door carefully in the morning, and now he was trying his best to perform well.
The man recovered from the pain in his hand and looked at the thin and weak woman in front of him holding a stick with disapproval. He was careless and caught off guard just now, so if something happened now, it would not be his fault.
An animal who likes to think with his lower body can also think at this moment that he will take the opportunity of fighting to teach the young lady in front of him a lesson.
But suddenly a big black dog with a strong physique appeared, and the man was a little panicked.
Cui Qingyi was the first to rush forward with a stick in her hand. There was no fear in her eyes, only excitement. After all, the opportunity to beat someone up openly was a rare one.
The man was about to step forward to take Cui Qingyi's stick, but when he thought of the big black dog next to him, he quickly changed direction to hide. But he was facing a dog that was so smart that it was almost a spirit. Wangcai watched the man's movements and quickly adjusted his position.
Aunt Qin on the side saw clearly that the big black dog was clearly driving the man under Cui Qingyi's stick. When it saw the man reaching out to grab the stick in Cui Qingyi's hand, it pounced on him and bit the man's arm. When the man let go, it repeated the same action as if it was herding sheep.
Cui Qingyi was extremely satisfied. The sound of the stick hitting her flesh made her more determined to fight, and she swung it harder and harder.
She was so happy playing that she didn't notice the children behind her who were already staring in amazement.
Seeing that her daughter had not suffered any loss, Konjac wanted to drive the children back, but was stopped by Aunt Qin. She pointed at Cui Qingyi who was waving a stick in the yard and said to the children:
"See? If you run into someone looking for trouble in the future, telling yourself you're afraid is useless. Run if you can, but don't just cry if you can't. When the time comes to fight to the death, go for it."
Qi Yuan looked at Cui Qingyi in the yard and said blankly, "But we don't have Wangcai."
Aunt Qin smiled, her eyes full of admiration for Cui Qingyi, "Your Mr. Cui, even if she doesn't have Wangcai, she won't let herself suffer any loss."
Konjac truly didn't understand where Aunt Qin's confidence in her daughter came from. She only knew that if they continued fighting, the county yamen would arrive. She wasn't afraid of anything else, but she was afraid that the county yamen would see her daughter like this and misunderstand their fighting ability, and then stop coming to the girls' school.
The man was beaten by a man and a dog and screamed in pain, only caring about his head and not his butt.
Cui Qingyi stopped swinging her stick, and the anger that had been pent up in her chest all morning vanished completely. As expected, anger shouldn't be bottled up; it needs to be released through other channels, which is beneficial to both physical and mental health.
At the entrance to the girls' school, several patrolling yamen runners looked at each other in bewilderment. Was the person they had just seen really Mr. Cui from the girls' school? Why did he seem like a completely different person?
Look at how that thin arm has so much strength when swinging the stick!
Aunt Qin was the first to see the patrolling yamen runners, but she waved her hand to signal them to wait. This was her first time as a teacher, and she took this opportunity to teach the children that even a woman should not just cry when encountering problems.
With Aunt Qin here, the yamen runners didn't need to ask for details and directly took away the man who was squatting on the ground and crying out in pain.
Not only did the man fail to achieve his original purpose of this trip, but the final result can be described as a complete loss. How miserable it was.
After this, the only ones who were sad and upset were probably his wife and children at home.
This incident also made Cui Qingyi realize something. She had previously thought that making pastries was a skill that some people used to support their families, and if she taught it, it would inevitably take away these people's living space.
So Cui Qingyi thought about relying on the supply of wedding cakes and fruits, and trying not to have conflicts of interest with other families, but now she no longer thinks so.
Human society is a place where only the fittest survive.
There will be no progress in any kind of market without competition. Instead of her thinking about how to preserve the living space for other people in the market, it would be better for everyone to roll up their sleeves and see who has time to come and cause trouble for her.
Cui Qingyi has so many recipes for Chinese pastries in her mind. She is confident that if her baking class goes well, perhaps in a few years Cui's pastries will spread to every corner of Dajin. At that time, even if she stays in this small courtyard in Dongping County, she will be able to count money until her hands are tired. But that's all in the future.
After school in the evening, Cui Qingyi just happened to catch the excitement at the Li family's house.
Many people in the alley went to watch the excitement. Before, because of Li Ping's incident, everyone felt sorry for the Li family, but then the incident of Li Ping's burial happened. Although most people believed that a married girl returning to her parents' home for burial would affect the feng shui of her parents' home, they were all women and it was inevitable that they would feel sorry for each other.
The alley was quiet for a while because of these things, but people are forgetful. When they heard the Li family quarreling again, they rushed to watch the fun.
Cui Qingyi and Konjac did not go, and soon someone told them about the excitement at the Li family.
Li Hua grabbed the silver during the day and rushed back home. Li Hua's mother saw that the money-loser who was taken away by her mother-in-law had returned with five taels of silver in his hand.
Li Hua handed the silver to her mother like she was presenting a treasure, "Mom, this is the money grandma gave me to enroll in girls' school. If I don't go to girls' school, the money will be used for my younger brother to get married."
Li Hua's mother quickly held the silver in her hand, thought for a while, and then instructed Li Hua: "I will go back to your grandmother's house. You stay at home and if your grandmother asks, just tell her that you didn't see me today."
When Li Hua's mother left, she took away the private silver saved by the second wife and the five taels of silver that Li Hua brought back. When she left the alley, she also coaxed Li Hua's younger brother away.
