Xu Haonan pointed to the tampered parts and explained to Shen Zhizhu. He thought about it and had a solution in mind, but he still wanted to ask Shen Zhizhu.
"How do you think this should be handled? Do you need me to fix it?"
In order to prevent accidents, Xu Haonan also brought tools with him, just to be on the safe side, and now they really come in handy.
Shen Zhizhu's eyes turned cold instantly. She was no longer the cowardly person she was in her previous life. Her heart was now as hard as steel.
"As the ancients said, 'I will not offend others unless they offend me.' I have been tolerant enough of their family. I just didn't let them take advantage of me verbally. I have never taken the initiative to cause trouble for them. But they are like cockroaches in the kitchen, dark and disgusting."
If it is not eliminated today, it will become a big problem in the future. Today they repaired the tractor, but who can guarantee that Shen Aiqiu and Du Manjun will not continue to retaliate in the future?
Even if they reported today's incident to the police, Shen Ai Qiu and Du Manjun could still make an excuse, saying that they were just checking the car, it was not intentional, and no one was harmed.
Not enough to send them to jail too.
"If we take action, we must be quick and accurate. We cannot let the tiger go back to the mountain."
Xu Haonan thought the same thing, but he was worried that Shen Zhizhu would not be able to do it because of their long-term friendship.
It would be bad if I brought this up and the other party misunderstood me as someone who didn't take human life seriously.
"Why don't we take advantage of their tactics?"
Shen Zhizhu became interested.
"How to turn the tables on others? Tell us more."
Xu Haonan pointed to the place where traces of damage had been found and told him the plan that had just occurred to him.
"They have tampered with this place. I've fixed it a bit, so at least there won't be any problems when we use it. When we get to the place they told us to go, we'll come down. When they see that we're fine, they'll definitely find time to go up and check on us. Whether we're dead or alive is up to fate. If we survive, we'll be more careful in the future. If we..."
What was left unsaid at the end was already clear, so Shen Zhizhu completed the rest.
"If they picked up a rock and dropped it on their own feet, they deserved it. Even God couldn't bear to see this and wanted to punish these two evildoers."
They ensured their own safety, and the rest, the safety of the two of them, was left to God. Whether they could survive depended entirely on God's will.
After the two reached an agreement, Xu Haonan started to make revisions, and it was finished in a short while. He also carefully erased any traces of someone's touch.
[As expected of my husband, a man who will be a teacher in the future, he is always cautious. Du Manjun, that kid, left the marks so carelessly exposed. Even if we do as they wish, the people in the police department can still infer them based on these marks.]
Every time Shen Zhizhu praised Xu Haonan in her heart, Xu Haonan was always sweet because of her recognition and praise of herself for these things.
However, she seemed to particularly hope that she could become a teacher in the future. Although it was a bit difficult, he hoped to meet Shen Zhizhu's expectations, and he would work hard in that direction.
"Okay, let's go back and rest. We need to be fully prepared for tomorrow."
Xu Haonan's hands were covered in dirt after finishing his work, so he did not take the initiative to hold Shen Zhizhu's hand, as he did not want to get the dirt on Shen Zhizhu's hands and clothes.
But Shen Zhizhu didn't care about these and directly took Xu Haonan's hand.
"You just stretched your hand outside. You must be cold. My hands are warm. I'll warm them for you."
The two of them went home together smiling happily, and Xu Haonan cleaned Shen Zhizhu's hands very carefully.
…
The night passed quickly. For the first time ever, Shen Zhizhu did not stay in bed. As soon as the alarm rang, she sat up from the bed.
Xu Haonan also knew that today was a special day, and he did not persuade Shen Zhizhu to take a nap.
"Get dressed first. We've already finished eating the food from last night at my aunt's house. I'll go cook two eggs and we can have some together."
Shen Zhizhu has been well taken care of since she married Xu Haonan. She only eats eggs for breakfast during her busy study days.
Since she finished her exams, she has been eating nutritious food even for breakfast. This is the first time she has only eaten eggs.
"Okay, I'll get up right away. No need to pour water for me to wash up. I'll get up and do it myself."
After Xu Haonan went out, Shen Zhizhu greeted Du Manjun and Shen Aiqiu in his heart.
[It's really damn annoying. Because of you two, I can neither stay in bed nor have a good breakfast. 】
Xu Haonan, who had not yet walked far, heard it all clearly. Although it was a complaint, there was a hint of coquettishness in the words.
He thought about it and decided to cook a big meal to reward Shen Zhizhu after today's work was finished. He fried the leftover fish at home and also fried some shrimps because he heard Shen Zhizhu wanted to eat them the other day.
Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan moved very quickly and got themselves ready in no time. Even if they were eating eggs, they didn't want to waste their time and didn't bring them with them to eat while walking.
Instead, just drink hot water at home to avoid choking.
When they arrived at the square at the agreed time, they found that everyone had already gathered and only the two of them were left.
Shen Ai Qiu, who hadn't been seen for a long time but actually met last night, acted weird right from the start.
"You are so arrogant! This is the attitude of people who have been admitted to university. We agreed to gather at a certain time, and everyone is here. We are just waiting for you two, but you walked over slowly. You have no sense of time at all."
Du Manjun played the role of a good guy and advised me in a way that I could understand.
"Don't be too harsh. It's normal for some people to be unable to get up in such a cold weather. They are not late. It's just the right time for them to leave."
Shen Ai Qiu has something else to say.
"Couldn't they have come earlier? Even though the weather was so cold, we still got up and waited here early in the morning. If they had come a little earlier, we wouldn't have been freezing for so long."
Some people felt that what Shen Ai Qiu said made some sense. After all, they were all from the same village and there were so many benefits to going to the mountains together. Why did they have to ask every household to pay money to Shen Zhizhu's family?
Forty-five dollars was enough to make them jealous.
"That's right. Young people nowadays are so arrogant. You don't know. Yesterday we went to ask them for help, but they didn't even let us in. We just stood at the door and were blown by the cold wind. It was only when Manjun said he would add 20 yuan that they were willing to come."
"That's a big appetite."
There is never only one voice in a team, some people still remain rational.
"The young couple wasn't late. We were the ones who arrived early. Why are you blaming them? Besides, it's not just them who just arrived. You, you, and those others have only been here for two minutes."
