Chapter 64(2)
I am worried that Zhongxia and I won’t be close to each other without our own children, and if something happens, it will be easy for us to fall apart…”
Before Gu Yan finished speaking, Li Zhongxia hugged her mother and assured her, "No, don't worry. No matter what happens, we will never be separated in this life. Accountant Xu is just a clown, and neither of us will worry about it."
"Then why are you so angry?"
Gu Yanxiao lay on her mother-in-law's lap and said, "Your son is an old antique. He was wrongly accused by a woman, so he is so angry."
Li Zhongxia raised her hand and patted her, saying with a smile, "The child is still in the room, why are you so careless!"
Gu Yan tilted his head, his big eyes filled with a mischievous smile. "What's wrong with me? It's you who have bad thoughts. You always think... um..."
"How old are you? You're acting like a kid. You dare to say anything, regardless of the situation?"
The woman's mouth was covered and she couldn't speak, so all her words turned into laughter. The couple played like children in front of their old mother.
"Hahaha...I should feel relieved."
My daughter-in-law, you are really good at making my son, who has always been a calm kid, laugh and make him lose his composure time and time again!
A few days later, after work at night, Gu Yan and little girl Meng Yun walked behind the crowd.
"What did Accountant Xu use to lure you into being a teacher at the Brigade Primary School?"
"How do you know?"
"I can tell the future!" The only attractive ones are those few who either go back to the city or do light work. It’s not easy to go back to the city, but it’s not difficult to go to school and be a substitute teacher.
"Why did you switch sides at the last minute?"
"I didn't intend to deal with you in the first place! You and Brother Li are so good, why should I listen to him and deal with you? I just created an illusion and then exposed him at the last moment. Otherwise, he will come up with other tricks to deal with you, and you will be unable to defend yourself."
Gu Yan reached out and patted the little girl on the back, praising her generously, "She is a smart child. Don't worry, if you give me a papaya, I will give you a Qiong Yao in return. Your sister Gu is not the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for her."
He is indeed smart. Even if he helps Accountant Xu to devise a plan to deal with me, it may not work. If it is exposed, it would be a frame-up and get your hands covered in mud. But if this happens, Accountant Xu will definitely be finished, and I will owe you a favor. It's more secure than working for Accountant Xu.
"Well, then I would like to thank Sister Gu first."
"Be careful recently and don't go out alone. If you have any problems, just come to me."
"Okay. I'm not afraid of the Xu family. They are just a bunch of selfish people. No one will help Accountant Xu after what he did."
"It's better to be careful."
"Okay, I understand."
The two parted at the gate of Li's courtyard. When Gu Yan went in, Dahua had already prepared some water for her. "Mom, Xiaohua's school is about to start, what should I do?"
"What do you want to do?"
Gu Yanxi squatted beside her with a pout, his cheeks puffed up, and he didn't say anything for a long time. It was not until she finished washing and pouring the water that the girl reluctantly proposed.
"Why don't I go to the commune to attend junior high school? Our school also has cultural courses. If I can't keep up, let Xiaohua teach me."
"Okay. Tell your dad to take you to see the principal tomorrow to see if you still need to take another exam or something."
"Why not you?"
"I have to go to a meeting at the commune tomorrow morning."
"Why do you have meetings every now and then? It's just a brigade, how many things can there be? Why do you have to hold meetings all day long?"
"Don't talk nonsense, little kid."
"Okay, I got it." The girl jumped and turned to look for Li Zhongxia. "dad……"
"I heard you. I'll take you to school tomorrow. Do you want to make up for it in the evening?"
"I'm going to pack my things. There's no need to make up for the lessons."
The next day, Li Zhongxia drove a tractor filled with comrades who were going to the commune. Gu Yan got off the car in front of the government office and told him to come to her if he had any problems.
"I know. You worry too much. I am a grown-up and I know how to solve problems when they arise."
"Haha... Director, you're the only one I can't leave. I wish I could tie myself to your belt."
The familiar members were joking around, but the shameless Gu Yan didn't care at all. Pointing at the daughter-in-law who was talking, he said, "Jealousy, this is just my jealousy. Your old man didn't accompany you to the supply and marketing cooperative, so you are jealous that we go out together, right?"
"Yes. Isn't Gaiti jealous? Not to mention her, we are jealous too."
Li Zhongxia looked at his wife with amusement and said to her, "Hurry up and go to your meeting."
The man drove away quickly, leaving the car full of laughter. Gu Yan went into the meeting. When they came out at noon, everyone got on the car and returned.
"Just got in right away? No mention of an exam or anything."
"No. I heard that she also studied cultural subjects in the sports school before, so she just paid for the food and tuition and went along with her."
Gu Yan sat in the seat next to her husband, and the man talked to her while driving. There is no such thing as student registration nowadays. It is very easy to go to school as long as your household registration is local. Junior high school requires an exam, so Gu Yan’s only worry is that his daughter won’t pass. I didn’t expect that students from the sports school could come and enroll directly.
"That's great. I was worried about what to do if this girl couldn't go to school."
"Didn't you indulge her in not taking the junior high school entrance exam before?"
"It's a different time now. At first I thought she could do whatever she wants, but now seeing that she is so young, it's a bit hard to bear if she doesn't go to school."
The "puff puff puff" sound of the tractor was so loud that the people behind could not hear the words. Otherwise, everyone would be tortured to death, what could be wrong? It's like this in every family. After graduating from elementary school, boys go to the fields to earn work points, while girls may not go at all and go directly to work in the fields or stay at home to take care of their younger siblings.
Only Li Zhongxia, an outlier, could understand her. He knew the change in her mind without any further explanation.
We have planted corn and sorghum, and today the brigade has opened a field for sweet potato seedlings, and all members are going to the fields to plant sweet potatoes. This job is very tiring, especially for the person in charge of planting the seedlings, who has to squat and move almost the entire time. No one wants to do this job because they simply don't have the leg strength to do it.
"Director, will you come again this year?"
Gu Yan had already picked up the basket of seedlings and handed it to her: "How about you come?"
"No, you guys should do it. I can't do this job. I'll cover the soil with you later. I promise I won't be lazy."
"Everyone, hurry up and get to work. Men, come with me to the terraced fields over there. The land over there is dry and we need to fetch water."
The team leader led a few male comrades to fetch water, and this side was naturally handed over to Gu Yan. Gu Yan naturally used the old method, where several people were divided into groups and worked on it at the same time. This way there was room for comparison and no one dared to be too lazy.
Lei Lei and Xiao Ya were also in the field today. While the two children were having fun, they did not forget to hand the sweet potato seedlings to their mother, and were praised by the adults for being sensible.
"I have to give the two little ones some sweet potatoes in autumn."
"You have to get two. My naughty kid only knows how to play around. He can't even dig up half a basket of wild vegetables and he runs around a lot."
"Be content." Gu Yan smiled and looked at his two babies. "It's good for such a young child to be able to play by himself and not cause trouble for the adults."
"Mom, there are some kids over there digging wild vegetables, so we're going to go too."
"Be safe. Come back here to find your mother later, or go home with everyone else. Don't run around by yourself."
"I know."
Gu Yan's eyes followed the children until they caught up with the other children on the hillside. Then he turned around and smiled, "See? No matter how sensible they are, they are still just children. It's normal for them to love playing."
"Yes. But Director, your child is quite sensible and rarely mischievous."
"Why not be naughty? My little girl just dropped the candle all over the floor last night. I have to squat on the floor to pick it up bit by bit when I get home today."
"Haha... It's normal for a child. Director, you are too particular. I wouldn't care. It drips. The floor is not a kang, so there is no need to keep it so clean. But this is a waste of candles, I have to clean it up."
A group of people were working and chatting at the same time, it was as lively as a market. When Gu Yan returned home in the evening, he actually saw his two daughters who were supposed to be at school.
"Why are you back? Is school closed again?" It's only been one day since school started.
Xiaohua timidly took a step back subconsciously, while Dahua was bolder and spoke directly. "We had a fight."
"Why?"
"It's all my fault." Xiaohua's voice was small, but she was brave enough to admit her mistake. "I brought food to the teacher before, and my classmates saw me and exposed me. They called me a running dog, and my sister started fighting with them."
Li Zhongxia came in and listened, then turned around and went in to get some water. "Wash first and then go into the house."
Gu Yan nodded, quickly washed up, and led the children into the house. Without mom and dad asking any more questions, Dahua started talking quickly.
"They called Xiaohua a running dog, and I cursed back at them. Later, a male classmate hit me with a stool, but I raised my hand to fight back. The stool smashed his head, and the useless coward cried more horribly than murder. Later, the head teacher treated his wound, which was just a little skin breakage. It was not a big deal, and he could just continue with the class. But this guy actually ran home and said he wanted his parents to seek justice.
Bah, wimp. If you have the guts, fight me again. What’s the big deal about running home to call your parents? ”
"Gu Yanxi, how can you talk like that?"
Seeing Gu Yan’s gloomy face, the girl immediately put away her chivalrous demeanor. He stuck out his tongue and gave his mother a mischievous smile. Gu Yan glanced at Li Zhongxia, left the matter to him, and got up to go to the kitchen to cook.
After a while, the man came to help. She came closer to him and asked how he dealt with it.
"What can we do? We can only deal with it as it comes. I'll send them to school tomorrow and see what the teacher says. Their principal is a decent man, he wouldn't fail to handle such a small matter. This is all caused by the world today. Their head teacher doesn't dare to intervene, so he asked them to go home to see their parents."
"Didn't you teach Dahua a lesson about her bossy way of speaking?"
"I've said everything that needs to be said, but I don't think it's easy to change."
"Why?"
"What goes around comes around, so you better watch out for yourself in the future."
"I...how did this come to my mind?" Gu Yan smiled awkwardly and pretended to be stupid. "I did fight with others, but they were just looking for trouble... Never mind, this is actually quite good, isn't it? I look so heroic and manly."
"It's right to fight back when facing bullying. But the way our daughter spoke was really... a little barbaric."
"You like ladies?"
"I like you."
"Then why do you dislike a girl who looks like me?"
"Do I dislike you? I'm just following your way of thinking. You know the crux of the matter, but you just want to protect it. You are powerful and arrogant, and you have enough momentum. Sometimes you can intimidate people without taking action. But she can't do that. If she does this, she will only arouse the hatred, disobedience and even provocation of those villains."
Gu Yan nodded obediently. Of course she understood all this, which was why she scolded the child just now. But when the critical moment comes, he can't help but start to protect his shortcomings.
"I was also scolded by my master a few times when I was a child. Later, I won a few good places in competitions, and the resentment in my heart subsided. Dahua is now unable to do her favorite sport, and she is actually feeling aggrieved. She becomes very restless at the slightest sign of trouble."
Li Zhongxia nodded, agreeing with her. "When was the last sports game?"
"I don't know." After saying that, the woman sighed. "I only know the general direction. There will definitely be competitions in the middle, but I don't know when."
"It would be nice if she could find a gymnastics coach. She wouldn't be so irritable if she had a place to vent her excess energy."
"Where can she find a gymnastics coach? I just hope this period will pass quickly so she can do something she likes and stop being so frivolous."
The couple was worried about their children, and the naughty kids were playing in the main room as if nothing had happened. After dinner, Gu Yan handed the task of removing the wax to the naughty kid, and she went to the ear room to wash her hair.
"Little girl, you deserve a beating. If your sister had dared to waste like this when she was a child, she would have been beaten to death."
I came out to get some water and heard the roar. No need to ask, it was Dahua, the impetuous one again. The little girl was scolded by her sister so much that she dared not say a word. She squatted on the ground obediently with a small shovel to clean up the mess.
"Sister, please stop scolding her. Children are bound to be naughty. Just shovel them away and they will be fine."
"The key is that she destroys things. You know, when we were kids, we didn't have oil in the oil lamps, and we had to make our way around in the dark. But she played with the candles. Mom is really good-tempered now. If it were before, she would have beaten her butt to pieces."
"Mom won't hit me." The little girl said this proudly, with her head tilted up like a little peacock.
"Stop being naughty. If mom hits you, you won't be able to withstand even a single blow."
"I'm a bad boy. It was Leilei who tried to steal my candles, and I scattered them on the ground just to avoid him."
"That candle was originally mine, and you stole it from me."
The twins started fighting again. Gu Yan went in and took Niu Niu to sleep, not caring at all. Li Zhongxia will come and tell them a story later, and everything will be fine then.
The next day, Gu Yan was worried and followed her to school. The two groups met at the gate by coincidence. The boy pointed at Dahua and complained to his parents, but Dahua snorted in disdain. If his parents hadn't repeatedly told him not to be so arrogant, they would have scolded him for behaving like a woman.
"So you are the parents of the child who beat others? Your little girl joined the bad guys, and your big girl helped beat the people who exposed them. Is this how you teach your children as parents?"
"He's just a kid. How can giving the teacher two steamed buns be considered as siding with bad elements?" Li Zhongxia spoke gently, but as a manager for many years, his words carried an irrefutable aura.
"Why aren't they bad elements? Aren't they all locked up?"
"After being locked up for one day, you are allowed to have meals delivered to you and visit you. My daughter did nothing out of line. But your son started to insult people and finally took a stool to fight. Our eldest son was just defending himself, which is normal behavior."
"It's not normal. Your daughter hit my son, so I have to hit her back today. All that is nonsense."
The woman couldn't win the argument anymore and stopped trying to reason. She walked over and was ready to attack. Li Zhongxia wanted to reach out to stop him, but Gu Yan raised his hand first.
"ah……"
As soon as they met, the woman was pushed to the ground. Suddenly, one of my central front teeth was knocked out. He raised his head and covered his mouth so that no air could escape when he spoke. No one could hear what he was mumbling. Many students gathered around to watch the fun, and they all laughed at her funny behavior.
"I was wondering why your son was so unreasonable. He not only hit a girl, but also threw a stool at her. It turns out he got it from you."
"Nonsense."
"I didn't say anything nonsense. Didn't your son want to beat my daughter and ended up smashing his own head? Classmates, did you see what happened at that time? Can anyone tell me what happened?"
Gu Yan looked at these energetic children, and soon several of them stood up and spoke up to prove that what she said was true. It was indeed the boy who started the fight first, and Gu Yanxi was just defending himself.
While they were arguing, the head teacher Gu Yanxi came over and asked them to go to the office for mediation, as it would have a bad influence if they quarreled in front of the students. Gu Yan obeyed the teacher's instructions and followed the teacher to the office immediately. But the ruthless woman did something shameless. She took advantage of Dahua's unpreparedness and pushed her hard from behind.
"You bastard, if you dare to hit my son, I will kill you."
It's okay to be reasonable, it's just awkward when being criticized. But you actually hit the baby in front of the child's mother. You are asking for death.
Gu Yan reached out to support his daughter, his face livid as he looked at the woman who had done something behind her back. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and started beating him. In his anger, he didn't even bother to pick up the stick and used a set of Eight Trigrams Palms, not giving her any chance to regret or beg for mercy. He beat her so hard that she couldn't even speak, let alone fight back.
Gu Yan withdrew his hand, and all the onlookers were stunned. How come Gu Yantong, such a well-behaved, cute and quiet girl, has such a powerful and fierce mother?
"You..." The woman's original arrogance and anger had been completely suppressed, and she was trembling with pain all over. I lay on the ground, turned my head and said one word, feeling wronged and scared, not knowing how to continue.
"Remember this warning. If you do it again, I will be sorry if I don't break a few of your bones." Gu Yan clenched her fists, and her knuckles made a crackling sound. The other party lowered his head, and dared not to act violently in the face of such a strong aura.
Stretch your muscles and deal with a shrew. In this era where fighting is not illegal and no one cares about the chaos. If you dare to fight with me, I will beat you to a pulp. If you don’t agree, just come and try.
The teacher, who was originally worried, suppressed a smile and turned his gaze away from the limping woman. He then smiled at Gu Yan and his wife, and led the students to class.
The couple returned along the same route and stopped by the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some daily necessities. Li Zhongxia had a smile on his face and he reached out to touch his wife on the path in the field when no one was paying attention.
"Did you expect to run into a shrew?"
"If a parent raises a son to fight with a girl with a stool, he is most likely not a good person." Gu Yan sighed, still not satisfied. "I really want to break both of her legs to see how she can still act like a spoiled brat."
"Wife, you're not in the right state!" Li Zhongxia looked at her eyes full of hostility, his handsome face full of worry. "It seems like the stress response never gets over, and he overreacts to the slightest disturbance. Although he is very restrained in his actions, he is very extreme in his heart."
"I..." Facing his worried face, the impulse in my heart disappeared in an instant. Gu Yan bit his lip, feeling a little embarrassed. "I don't know if I had a stress reaction. It was so chaotic at the time that I couldn't even think about staying alive. No one cared about this."
Her voice was low and suppressed, like the prelude to a storm. As he spoke, he walked forward, keeping the volume within earshot of the two of them.
"I know I am extreme, especially when I meet people who want to provoke me. I have to suppress the anger in my heart repeatedly to prevent myself from being cruel. If my children were not around to remind me that I am a mother now, I might not be able to control myself."
"Wife..." Li Zhongxia pulled her and turned her around to face her. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that in such a serious tone. The sequelae of the battlefield will be experienced by anyone who has seen blood. You have controlled it very well, and you have never hurt anyone in all these years. Next time you feel irritated, just come to me and gossip, or hit me a couple of times to vent your anger. It will get better slowly."
"Yeah. Next time, you can be my sparring partner. Let off some steam by fighting with someone. Maybe I won't be so irritable."
Before I knew it, the dark clouds that had been pressing down on my head just now seemed to have disappeared. Li Zhongxia smiled, raised his hand and attacked without warning.
He learned military boxing, which focused on defeating the enemy with one move, without any fancy moves. So in a fight, he is actually not as good as Gu Yan, because if he can’t control himself well, it is easy to get killed. This blow hit the vital point directly, but the castration effect was very slow. Give the other party time to respond calmly.
Gu Yan raised his hand to block, and the two of them exchanged dozens of moves on the small path. When they stopped, they smiled at each other, and the dark clouds that had previously covered the sky completely dissipated.
"How long are you...?"
This sentence was not very clear. Gu Yan was stunned for a moment before he understood what he was asking. Raise your hand and extend three fingers.
"Three hundred years?"
"Hmm." The woman laughed. "Don't think too much about it. Maybe it's just a parallel universe. It has nothing to do with this place."
"What is parallel universe?"
"Parallel time and space is..."
We walked and chatted quietly along the way. It was almost noon and there was no need to go to work, so they carried their things back home. Li Zhongxia picked up the hoe and went to plant vegetables in her private plot. Gu Yan took out the potatoes and radishes, then turned around and went to Sister Xu's house to pick up the children.
"Xiao Ya and Lei Lei followed San San to pick wild vegetables. They will come back and bring them back to you later."
Gu Yan held Niu Niu in his arms and took out a long teething stick for the little baby on the kang. "Xiao Si is growing up very fast. He can sit so steadily now."
"If there are seedlings, there is no need to worry about their growth." Speaking of children, Sister Xu's eyes fell on Niu Niu in her arms. "Time flies by so fast. When Niuniu first came back, she was so skinny and timid that she didn't even dare to look anyone in the eye. Look at her now. You've raised her to be so cute. Her little face is like a big apple, and her little mouth is always calling people. She doesn't hide behind adults when they talk."
Praising children makes mothers feel more proud than praising themselves. Gu Yan tilted his head and kissed his daughter, which made the little girl giggle.
"Children need to meet more people and play with their older brothers and sisters all day long. They will become brave, right?"
"That's right. I plan to let San San stay at home with Xiao Si in the fall while I go to work. I'm an adult, so an extra job means more income."
"Is it possible? Xiao Si is too young."
"What's so special about being small? You're not small anymore." The woman raised her hand and scratched her son's nose. "In the future, just hang out with your brother. Mommy won't be able to take care of you. Niuniu should also hang out with Sansan. She's the most obedient. It's enough for her to have someone to accompany her. When little girl Leilei grows up, he can play with his friends by himself. That way, he won't be delayed in anything."
"After autumn, the twins should go to school, and it's okay for them to take Niu Niu to play." This is how children are raised these days. Although Xiao Ya is a little naughty, Lei Lei is very well behaved, so it should be fine to take care of the well-behaved Niuniu.
"You're not old enough, are you? Isn't it too early to go to school this year?"
"Not too early. You already have the basics for both, so just follow along and read. Otherwise it's just a waste of time playing around. I still have to look for them everywhere and pay attention to their safety."
"That's right. Then let's go to school."
After chatting for a while, the two hurried to cook. I have to go to work in the afternoon. Spring and autumn are the busiest times and I can't waste a moment. I spent the whole afternoon planting sweet potato seedlings in the fields. When I got home and washed up, the moon was already hanging in the sky.
Li Zhongxia was cooking in the kitchen while Gu Yan was sitting on the steps in the yard. The three children gathered around her and listened to her tell stories about the stars.
"The North Star belongs to the Ursa Minor constellation. It is the brightest star in the north. The ancients also called it the Purple Star. Because the Big Dipper revolves around it, it represents power..."
The children listened to their mother's explanation, their big eyes fixed on the brightest star in the sky. It seemed as if it was studying whether it was really as its mother said.
The mother and daughter were in a harmonious atmosphere, happily chatting and telling stories. Suddenly there was a noise and several big men rushed in. There were seven or eight people, all in their prime, and each of them came empty-handed. Scythes, sticks, hoes, and a variety of other weapons. The only thing left was the arrogant and trouble-making look on his face.
"Who is Gu Yan?"
When the leader asked, the woman next to him was already pointing at the women and children on the steps. "It was her. She was the one who beat me."
Fights are common in this era. When getting beaten, instead of calling the police or reporting to the authorities, one’s first reaction is to find someone to beat him back. As it was with the Han family before, it was a family affair and outsiders had no right to interfere. They wanted to find a leader to drive Gu Yan away because they couldn't beat him. In fact, the leader is the mediator in such matters. What is mediation? Nine times out of ten, the result will be nothing but a compromise. If someone dies, someone will take care of it, but if there is a fight, no one will take care of it.
"Brothers, smash it for me. If I don't fuck her family today, she won't know how many eyes the Horse King has."
When a scholar meets a soldier, he won't tell you whether you are right or wrong. As soon as the man was sure that he had found the right owner, he called the helpers he brought with him and rushed in, rushing towards Gu Yan with the sickle in his hand. Li Zhongxia had also come out of the kitchen at this time, holding a kitchen knife and a rolling pin in her hands.
Gu Yan anxiously pushed the child behind him, and the little girl Lei Lei cleverly held her sister and quickly retreated back into the house. She waved at Li Zhongxia, then turned around and advanced towards the opponent's sickle instead of retreating. He dodged the sharp scimitar, grabbed the sickle handle with one hand, and raised his other hand like a knife to chop the wrist of the man holding the weapon.
The man's wrist loosened due to pain, but after she got the weapon, she did not stop, but stabbed the man in the chest and abdomen with the sickle. This move is the dot-word technique in the stick technique. Concentrating all your strength on one point can cause more damage than hacking.
"Ah..." The man covered his chest and stepped back, but was supported in time by the people behind him. Several big men were unable to absorb the force and fell to the ground together.
The woman quickly went to help her man, feeling him up and down and anxiously asking if he was injured. Having lost face in front of everyone as soon as he made a move, the man endured the pain in his chest and abdomen, pulled everyone up, snatched a stick from another person and rushed forward again.
"I'm going to fight you."
"Everyone come together."
Those who are used to fighting usually know what to do when they see the situation. They swarmed up and tried to knock Gu Yan down. As long as they knocked her down, no matter how capable she was, she would be beaten up by them.
Li Zhongxia held the back of a knife in one hand and a rolling pin in the other. They greeted the two of them separately, and the neighbors in the yard were also looking at them in surprise. Several men have already picked up their weapons at home, ready to go and help depending on the situation.
Uncle Li from the south room ran out with his pipe in hand, shouting as he ran: "Hurry up, someone from another village is causing trouble in our brigade, everyone come and help."
Hearing the old man's shout, the troublemakers became a little panicked. Originally, I wanted to find the real culprit, beat them up, and then run away quickly. The result was a failure. Before he could even enter the house, the other person's helper had already run out and shouted loudly, making everyone aware of it.
As a result, by the time the called helpers arrived with their weapons, the battle was already over. Eight or nine people from other villages who were looking for trouble all lay on the ground, some hugging their arms and legs, some touching their bodies all over, and there was a lot of wailing.
Those who came to help were all shocked, and the neighbors in the yard also took their tools and made wood carvings and clay sculptures. Is that all? The big melee that I thought was going to end just like that? A group of well-prepared men were just beaten up by a couple? No need for anyone's help at all.
"Do you want to fight again? If you want, tell me. My hands aren't itchy anymore, but I don't mind giving you some skin."
Gu Yan stood on the steps holding a weapon, looking at them like the god of death. The sickle gleaming coldly in the moonlight seemed ready to reap lives at any time.
"No... stop fighting."
"Stop hitting me... We are convinced by you, Auntie."
"I knew her husband was a soldier, so he must be very skilled..." A man got up and looked at Li Zhongxia with fear. He had just been beaten pretty badly by him. If the man hadn't been concerned about not wanting to get his hands on blood, he would have probably been killed with one blow.
"This woman is so powerful..." The man who was beaten by Gu Yan wailed, and when he met the woman's cold eyes, he quickly shut up and said no more.
"If you don't want to fight anymore, get out of here. I'll let you go this time. If you do it again..."
“No next time.”
The leading man spoke up quickly. He originally wanted to vent his anger on behalf of his wife and children, but ended up losing everything here. People around him were whispering, and only then did he realize that this Gu Yan was the same Gu Yan. The only female director among more than a dozen brigades in the commune and a March 8th Red Flag Bearer. If all the men in Kono's battalion were to be gathered together with just one roar, these few of them would not be enough to handle the whole thing.
A group of troublemakers fled away tumbling, and all the people from the team that came to help burst into laughter. A few belligerent ones took off their shoes and threw them at each other, cursing amidst the boos.
"Get out of here, or I'll break your legs if you dare to come again."
